Babe

Waving the staff around, Genji was purposefully striking the ground a couple of times before suddenly thinking of something.

'A metal floor… or even a metal cage…' thought Genji as he realized how he could get Toph to realize metalbending without having to give her much of a hint or subtly telling her.

With Toph's pride of being a self-made earthbender, Toph won't train and fully refine metalbending if she's constantly thinking about how someone led her there.

Her confidence and strength as an independent person is what made her who she is today. Suddenly thanking someone for inventing something for her to devote the rest of her life to refine and strengthen would be impossible for her.

At best, she'd instead stay with earthbending and look for a way to make that much stronger than metalbending.

'As long as I can find a place that has a metal floor or even a cage, I can have Toph train in the name of 'strengthening her connection to earthbending' by having her try to control the nearby earth and bend it through the metal.

Either that or tell her that it's training for when she gets captured and must find a way to escape a Firebender Cage made to capture Earthbenders.

If she's as talented as they've shown her in the show, Toph will discover this in an instant if she knows that there's a way to escape,' Genji formulated as he rotated the staff counterclockwise and blasting away a rock.

"I've grown a bit tired Toph," Genji stated as he slammed the staff into the ground.

Toph stopped and smirked, "Did you finally realize that fighting against me today will result in your loss?"

Chuckling, Genji shook his head, "In your dreams, babe."

"Let's continue fighting then, 'babe'," replied Toph with her eyes narrowed.

Genji approached the blind woman and stood right before her as he stared directly into her eyes.

"Can you handle me?"

Toph blushed but didn't back down as she also took a step forward and pressed her breasts onto his body.

"I won't know unless I try."

Lowering his head, Genji muttered to her, "Do you wish to try?"

They slowly leaned their heads forward, Toph's eyes were already closed as she puckered up and leaned in, fully expecting a kiss. Genji followed suit, not wishing to disappoint such a beautiful woman, but just as their lips were about to touch, Mr. Clean appeared.

"Mistress Toph! I'm done resting, we can train more now," said Aang with the blindfold still over his eyes.

"Tsk…"

Toph clicked her tongue and leaned back, displeasure written all over her face as she turned to look at Aang with a frown.

"Not too fast."

Before Toph could even walk a single step away, Genji spun her around and stole a kiss from her as he pressed his lips onto her's.

Toph's mind went blank at the sudden kiss and the sweet feeling she was having as she felt Genji's lips press against her's. Lightning struck within her mind as she suddenly felt something slide into her mouth and massage her own tongue.

"Mghh…"

"Hmhm…" Genji chuckled and let go of Toph who was beginning to moan under his kiss.

"You may return now," said Genji, flashing a teasing smile at Toph, not like she could see it.

Thinking that was the end, Genji was surprised to feel a strong grip on his hand before a strong force pulled his back into another kiss.

"Hmff!" moaned Toph with hot air escaping her cute nose.

Smack!

The sound of their lips smacking against each other sounded out as they enjoyed each other's embrace. Toph didn't even let go until she had to breathe.

Having to use that chance to leave, Genji whispered to her before running away.

"You still have to train Aang. If he removes that blindfold, you will be embarrassed."

"Why would I be embarrassed," Toph mumbled back to Genji.

"Because, I won't be able to hold back if we go on any longer," said Genji as he placed one hand on Toph's waist before sliding it down, but before he went down to her round butt, Genji lifted his hand away and left.

Toph blushed and bit her lips as she sensed Genji leave, "Hmph… coward."

Turning her head with a fierce look on her face, Toph focused her attention on Aang.

"Now… to train this twig!"

…

After subjecting Aang to hellish training after he interrupted her and Genji, Toph went to sense how Genji and Jin were doing.

Since Genji trains Jin when the sun is at it's highest point and when it's night in order to get over the wall of having weakened firebending at night and to always have peak strength in his firebending.

Genji's thought process on this was based on the bloodbender Yakone who managed to make bloodbending work at any time of the day without even needing the moon. He made it so strong and refined the control to such a high level where he could more or less bloodbend with just his mind.

In a way, every bender has this ability.

Even Bumi can do this already by bending rock with just his head.

Genji could also do this as well, but could only mind bend within five feet of himself. If he trained his range, he could quite possibly increase the range even without having to level up the skill, although it might take years should he try.

Arriving at Genji and Jin's training area, Toph could see Jin moving more fluidly through the rock pillars, occasionally jumping to increase the difficulty.

Jin's fire burnt bright as he shot a fist into the air.

"Sounds like everything is going well," said Toph after hearing Jin's figure move and firebend.

Genji turned to look at Toph and agreed, "He's making good progress for someone who doesn't have any talent for firebending. At this rate, if he continues to train under me for three more years, he will become a master at firebending, something which should be impossible for him."

"You sound very sure of yourself," mentioned Toph after hearing Genji's confidence. "How are you so sure that he's terrible at firebending?"

"If I wasn't sure of myself, I wouldn't be training the kid," replied Genji with a smirk. "I have some considerable skill in being a Physician. That, and when he first tried to firebend, he couldn't even create a spark, and that was under the brightest and hottest time of the day.

Training him when the sun was at it's brightest wasn't just to train him to control a stronger fire, but to help him firebend with more ease without straining himself.

That's how terrible his firebending talent is."

"Must suck to be him," muttered Toph. "I've heard of some people not being able to bend at all despite having two bending parents, does that mean that their bending talent is just so poor?"

Genji nodded to Toph's question, "Yes. Sometimes humans are suited to bending and other times they are more suited to other elements.

Like when you have more talent in drawing, speaking, or even just running faster. However, you can still train yourself to overcome the limitation of talent with hard work."

"Overcoming talent… with hard work…"

Hearing Genji, Toph felt like a heavy load of rocks had been lifted off her shoulders. She thought about it and felt like her desire to train harder had been strengthened like a rock that had been refined, revealing a diamond at it's very center.

Slap!

"You have a way with words, 'babe'," Toph expressed as she smirked and slapped Genji's back.

"Haha, it's just the way one looks at the world," said Genji, wincing a little at Toph's hit, despite having a high level in his Steel Body skill, Toph was still able to inflict some pain on him. 'That just proves how strong earthbenders naturally are, no matter how dainty they may look.'

"You have one interesting way to look at the world, 'babe'," said Toph, still teasing Genji about how he called her babe earlier in the day.

Genji rolled his eyes at Toph's words before turning to look back at Jin who was still working hard in his firebending.

"Help me train harder," suddenly said Toph as she clenched her hand tightly, expecting Genji to reject her.

Turning to look at Toph with a raised eyebrow, Genji smirked.

"Help you train? You just asked the right person," said Genji.

'It has now become much easier to have her create metalbending,' thought Genji as he narrowed his eyes.

"Right person? You're the only person I could ever ask this to."

"And that's why I am the right person."

"... Idiot 'babe'."

"Say that one more time and I might just 'shut you up'."

"..."

"..."

"... Babe."

Suddenly grabbing Toph by the waist, Genji turned his body and made her lean back as he leaned in and assaulted her lips that were ready to be taken.

"Ngh…. mmm… nmuah… mmm.. Ahh…"

Toph groaned and moaned as both Genji and her enjoyed the kissing, eventually losing track of time as they enjoyed each other's embrace. Their bodies warmed up and Toph's hold on Genji was tight, refusing to let him go for even a second, afraid that he might run away once more.

Eventually, the both stopped their kiss with flushed looks on their faces after sensing that Jin was finishing up his firebending training. Instead of gazing into each other's eyes, Toph and Genji held each other tightly since Toph couldn't see him.

A nice warmth formed between them that even Genji had to close his eyes to relish in the moment.

'Ah… I don't know what I would ever do if someone ever tried to take this nice feeling away from me. I might even kill for this,' thought Genji as he eventually opened back his eyes.

"Let's get going or else Appa Express might leave without us," said Genji as he pulled Toph along, Jin walking right in front of them after jumping down from the rock pillars.

Bam!

With a stomp of her foot, Toph made the rock pillars return to the floor like nothing ever happened before continuing to walk.

"Appa Express?"

"It's a nickname I gave Appa since he reminds me of other methods of transportation," Genji replied to Toph.

"You mean like the traveling agencies that help people cross from one place to another on boats rr like in Ba Sing Se with their monorails?"

"That's exactly it."

"It's kind of funny."

***

"When will we see Genji again, Azula?"

Inside a carriage that was being pulled by two ostrich horses, Azula, Ty Lee, and even Mai, were all wearing clothing that wasn't from the Fire Nation.

The three girls were wearing noble clothing from the Earth Kingdom. In her outfit, Azula looked rather seductive as her curves filled in just the correct places.

Ty Lee on the other hand looked rather cute and aroused the protecting instincts of any man who laid their eyes on her.

Lately, even Mai had changed her clothes, it a shame she didn't change style, Only thing different about her was the different color in her clothes.

After they separated from Genji's group in Omashu, Azula had decided to finally separate herself from her father. She no longer answered the letters he sent her through the Fire Nation's messenger birds.

With Azula constantly ignoring him, the Fire Lord couldn't hold back his anger and sent out the order to have the Royal Princess Azula to be dragged back to the Fire Nation's Royal Palace.

Fleeing from the clutches of the Fire Nation, Azula was joined by Ty Lee and surprisingly Mai as well.

"I'm sure we will see him soon if we have the same plan," Azula said, responding to Ty Lee's question.

"Where, Azula?"

Ty Lee leaned forward, her face filled with excitement after hearing she'd get to meet Genji.

"Ba Sing Se."
