One Moment
The first time they met was in a southern wasteland of snow and ice. They were enemies before they even laid eyes on one another. But in time, they became each other's most closely matched and deadliest opponents.
They were at war, and were as different as fire and water.
To him, she was the obstacle protecting the one thing he wanted the most.
To her, he was a representation of everything she was raised to hate and fear.
The second time they met was in the cave of a ruined and forgotten city. Where there was no hate or fear. No titles, or an obstacle to over come except one that was mutual to both.
The second time they met;
He was a man cursed with a scar and she was a woman with the gift of healing.
The war was destroying the balance of the world. The air nomads are gone, the earth kingdoms are falling and the water tribes are scarce. The fire nation can see victory, its largest threat a twelve-year-old boy. The balance of the world is nearing complete destruction.
Fire and water are enemies.
But at this one single moment in time, the balance is restored. When the water girl offers to heal the fire benders scar. The world is suddenly as it should be.
He closes his eyes and allows her to touch the marred part of his face. She stares momentarily at him, wondering how he was marked in such away. The healing oasis water is dangling between the two. She adds a slight pressure with her tanned fingers to the scar. He breathes in deeply giving into the cool touch of her fingers on his senseless skin. Just as she is about to bend the water out the glass vile….
CRASH!
In strides that stupid Aang and yells
'Katara!' Who spins around and runs toward the same annoying boy that completely ruined the moment.
'Aang!' responds Katara and runs to hug the intruding little air bender. Who then gives our beloved Zuko the mucky look. If only Aang and Iroh had taken just a little bit longer and then Zutara would have had a chance…if only….
This has been on my computer for quiet a while. Thought I'd get it up for you all to read…changed the ending a bit…don't like it all that much…but I just had to make a point…-because as much as I love that cute little Aang WHY! OH WHY? DID HE HAVE TO BARGE IN JUST AT THIS VERY MOMENT!??- Sigh- guess they saving all the juicy Zutaraness for season three… which I'm going mental waiting for…grr…ok I'm done rambling now.
Review and tell me what you think…
