It was night, and Haru wasn't interrogating the captured fire nation soldiers. He had decided to leave that for later. Having a meeting with his family now was more important. Although the Avatar is here, so his first girl was in his house helping his mom doing chores, he decided that having dinner was more important.
"So, you ended up becoming, at first, the prince of Omashu. Now you are the king of Ba Sing Se, and you have announced the United Earth Kingdom." Tyro said, eyes wide open as he looked at Haru. "I've heard the rumours, but now I confirmed them. Seeing your bending in action made it easy to believe. But I'm still wondering how you were able to convince the previous Earth King to leave you his seat."
"I convinced him that he belongs to the circus and that the Earth Kingdom needs a better leader," Haru said, reaching his bowl of noodles and eating.
"That's an amazing story." Luna, the black-haired green-eyed pale girl, said, her eye moving between Haru and Suki. Suki was doing the same.
"Well, it's far from over." Haru looked at Luna, and he smiled. The girl had a blush on her face as she lowered her head. Taking a deep breath, she reached Haru's bowl and said. "Let me pour you more."
"No need, I'll do that myself." Suki held the bowl.
"You're tired from your travel sister. Let me be the one." Luna said.
Haru, with the spoon in his mouth, smiled. Seeing how they were competing to gain his favour made him think that life was worth living.
But as the Fire Lord's face flashed in front of him, he knew that there is one more hinder to take care of.
The Earth Kingdom is very nearing greatness.
"You're enjoying that, aren't you?" Kyoshi said, teasing Haru.
Kara, Haru's mom, gave her bowl to Haru and said. "Eat, eat. I don't want you to get thinner."
"Thank you, mom."
"Here, eat some meat."
"Thanks," Haru replied, politely.
Suki and Luna stopped fighting over the bowl as Haru started eating again.
Haru then had a long conversation. They exchanged stories about what happened during the time they were absent.
That night, Haru ended up having Threesome.
Yes, an epic threesome with Suki and Luna.
The two girls collapsed.
Luna probably got pregnant, same for Suki, since he didn't hold back a thing.
Although it was risky, that is what made it tasty.

The next day arrived, and Haru stepped out of the door, stretching his arms widely.
He'd used to train after waking up in this place.
Haru was a different person from the one who'd been practising here.
He now was a firm warrior, who spills blood to achieve peace.
He was a conqueror and the Fire Nation's worse enemy.
'And Yet I've lost to Kyoshi in our small competition. Humph.'
Haru practised a few bending movements. And by that, he was practising another skill. Staring forward at the empty space, he looked at the rock that started moving in different patterns in the air. He wasn't moving at all.
[Bending with Sense up to level 4]
The movement got smoother, and his forehead started sweating.
"Wow, you are really skilled!" Came Aang's voice.
The small rock dropping, Haru turned and lifted his head. Above the wall around his house, Aang was standing, holding his stick.
"What are you doing?" Haru asked.
Aang, a the 12 years old child, smiled broadly. "I woke up early to start meditation. The cold breeze of the morning really helps."
Upon seeing him, Haru felt that he may have misjudged Aang. Although he was the Avatar, he was still a child, a child monk. At his age, Haru used to think that women get pregnant by marrying a man.
Haru thought about it, why he decided to go on the tough journey and say 'fuck the Avatar.' It was because he was angry, angry at himself. Angry that he'd been powerless when the Fire Nation abused his people, imprisoned his father, and used his village as tax slaves.
'At any rate, I'm not changing my mind. I can't trust a child with a big job. He, in the other timeline, won by luck, and that can't be repeated every time.'
Anyway, Kyoshi had asked him a favour. Since they were very close, he didn't mind teaching Aang.
"You want to learn earthbending, don't you?"
"Yes, please." Aang jumped off and landed in front of Haru. He nodded, excited.
"But be careful, I won't teach you everything I know," Haru said.
"It's okay. I don't want to learn metalbending. Learning earthbending would help me enough in my quest to save the world."
"Save the world…" Haru exhaled a mocking sigh.
"What, you find it funny? I'm pretty sure that I can do it." Aang said.
Knowing that it hadn't been long for this child to find out that everyone he cared about is dead, Haru decided not to voice his opinion.
"Sure, I know you can do that."
Aang smiled, not able to hide his real emotions like Haru.
Kyoshi appeared walking in front of Haru. Her eyes were wide open as she stared at him.
"Oh, very well! Who knew you can be nice to the Avatars you meet for the first time!" she didn't believe his attitude. "After all of that speaks to me, how you are going to use your power to change fate, and thinking that Avatar's destiny is bullshit, you are telling Aang that you know he can do that."
Haru winked at Kyoshi.
"Seeing how you deal with this naive kid, I'm sure that you are going to be a good father."
Haru started laughing.
"What's funny?" Aang asked.
Not wanting to tell Aang the truth, he said. "Nothing, I just remembered a joke. So, let's start with the basics. You're an air-bender, so the common style of earthbending style won't do it to you. To bend earth, you need to be sturdy, sometimes mobile. You know, it would be hard to provoke enough will for an Airbender to do that. Let's try this method."
Haru thought for a bit, and he said. "Put a blindfold around your eyes, and put some plugs around your ears. I need you to do that for a full day. Try sensing the earth and try to see what's connected to it."
"Are you sure? I thought you need to do some stances and face forward something to earthbend."
"Would you like to teach me?" Haru's hands started twitching.
The guy who can't earthbend was telling Haru how to earthbend.
"Hey, get easy on the kid. Earthbending isn't easy." Kyoshi said. "I used to be more of the carrier type, but I lacked in mobility."
"Sorry, sir," Aang said. "I'll do as you tell me."
"You'll get hang on it in no time," Haru replied. When he looked at Aang, he smacked his bald head of his.
Aang lowered his head and turned to leave.
"Did you have breakfast?"
"No?"
"Eat something. You don't want to start hungry."
"Thank you."
-x-X-x-
"Well, looks like you are treating him as a kid, not as the last Airbender," Kyoshi told Haru as they headed to the prisons they created for the firebenders. She was smiling as she walked next to him. Her attitude was more warming. She was approving his actions more when she learnt about the new side of his personality.
At first, she thought of him as someone who was standing against the oppressing of the earthbending.
But when she got into his village, she learnt about his past. How he'd lived, and how they chased him. How he fought against the Firebenders and claimed victory.
The people of the other village held high respect for him. He hadn't only fought the Fire Nation soldiers. He fought the traitors from the earth army, and he claimed back freedom for his people.
Haru seemed to be more like her.
However, his attitude, his shameless words with her. It reminded her of Yun. That's why she'd felt something toward Haru from the first day.
He was a man with a firm belief in his justice, yet a playing man.
"Would you just leave it?" Haru turned to her and shoot her with that cute frown of his.
"I have to know how you are going to treat my reincarnation." She crossed her arms and turned her face. Maybe she would tease him by acting firm.
"I'll spank him if he doesn't obey me," Haru said.
"Unbelievable." She looked into his eyes. "Haru, tell me, is that something you want to do to me?"
"What!? How did you know I want to do that to you."
"You want to slap the avatar?" Kyoshi gave him a meaningful look.
"Spank," Haru said, waving his hand in thin air, his hand bypassing her huge butt.
Sighing, she said. "Use that brain of yours where it is needed. focus on these prisoners."
Haru reached the cage, and he opened a port.
Those prisons had been guarded by earthbenders. When Haru told them to leave, they did.
Haru cracked his neck. "I'll hypnosis some of them, and I'll get all of the answers."
"I'll be watching from the side." Kyoshi sat cross-legged and floated.
