Okay, new story, here's the deal.

The chapters were written in reference to certain episodes so the ideal way to do this would be watch to the episode mentioned then imagine it with the changes outlined here...however, i know no one will do this, probably an easier way would be to have a list of the episodes and remember what happened then go with these changes, i am not stupid enough to rewrite everything so some things stay the same.

Episodes that are not mentioned either stay the same, are referenced in others so as to say the changes, or are combined because either i like how it is, i feel there isn't much to change, or the episodes are changed so much i need to remove them altogether.

I have a dilemma, i have nothing for the smaller relationships, if there's anyone available that you want to see together, mention it in a review, i will do my best to find a place for it or reference it at the end because my ending is lacking.

The chapters change in length and therefore will seem sporadic but i have my way of organizing them.

This chapter starts part way through the second episode so merely imagine it with these changes, things will most likely be explained later if unclear now.

Grey eyes watched the small village disappear behind the cold metal tip of the ship, he was pulled to where the fire nation soldier had gone. His golden eyes studied the bald monk while the monk studied his scar.

"I need to ask the avatar some questions, bring him to my quarters." And the other soldiers obeyed, "Set a course for the fire nation…I'm going home." And the ship started moving. Out of curiosity the monk allowed himself to be brought into the ship.

"Prince Zuko, an interesting choice…" The older man said to the teen as he looked out at the sea, "I would've expected you to lock him up immediately…" The teen turned his scarred eye to his elder.

"Uncle…I need to know…why is he just a kid…?" He frowned.

"I understand but the crew may not." Zuko looked at him.

"I get the feeling…no matter what we do he'll get away anyways…" His uncle blinked, "May as well find out what I can while I can."

"That's…unusually insightful of you, prince Zuko, I'll handle the crew, you go find out." The prince nodded and went the same direction the avatar had been brought.

When he reached his room the monk was staring at the broadswords he kept on his wall.

"They're antiques, possibly as old as you are." He jumped as Zuko shut the door and locked it, "So, avatar, how is it you're just a kid?"

"I have a name, you know." Zuko blinked, "It's Aang."

"Okay, well…" Zuko coughed awkwardly, "Why are you just a kid?"

"Oh, that's rude; I don't even get to know your name?" Aang pouted.

"It's Zuko now answer the question!" Zuko's eye twitched.

"Fine, fine…I was frozen." Zuko blinked.

"Frozen?" He asked.

"Yeah…in an iceberg, it was a nice nap though." He smiled.

"So for a hundred years you were napping in an iceberg…and we could've won without worrying about you randomly popping up to save the day." Zuko grumbled, "Well isn't that nice."

"Speaking of nice, could you let me go? Please?" He pouted and Zuko glared, "Come on, we both know I'll get out of here first chance you give me."

"Yeah…I guess I do know that…" Aang blinked.

"So…you can just let me go, right?" He grinned and Zuko glared at him.

"No…I know a way that can at least slow you down." Aang blinked.

"What, superglue me to a chair?" He guessed, Zuko rolled his eyes.

"No." He stood up and Aang started backing up.

"Then…" He hit the wall as Zuko pulled out more rope; he tied the airbender's legs as well, "Oh, just tying my legs, you've never fought an airbender before, have you?" Zuko pushed him back against the wall.

"No, I haven't, but I have been a twelve year old boy before." Aang blinked and Zuko pressed his lips to Aang's, his grey eyes widened, Zuko's hands easily got Aang's shirt over his head as the firebender pulled back.

"Um…sorry, but I don't go that way." Zuko rolled his eyes and used the shirt still clinging to Aang's arms to force him onto the bed face down; he placed his knee on Aang's spine.

"And you probably never will, especially not after this…" Zuko frowned and eyed the tattoos running along the airbender's arms and back. He took the sharpened point on his nail and placed it along the beginning of one of the tattoos on Aang's arm; he let it sink in and ran it down the blue tattoo, staying in the middle of it all the way to where the arms were tied together. He wiped off the blood and skin then did the same on Aang's other arm, ignoring the protests. Next was his back, he cut from just below the neckline down to the rim of his pants; Zuko watched the blood with an odd expression showing in his eyes.

Aang struggled to get Zuko off but the prince used that to flip Aang over while also pulling down the monk's pants.

"Um…I really think you should…" Zuko looked at Aang and the avatar shut up.

The prince's eyes revealed many things in that moment…the struggles he had been through…showed so clearly Aang had to keep himself from crying from just seeing it…he also knew Zuko had been through the same thing he was putting the monk through now.

When Zuko finished cutting along the arrows on Aang's legs he flipped the monk over again.

"Who was it that did this to you?" Zuko frowned as Aang asked this and shoved his face into the bed to keep him from talking while he went on with his original plan.

"You're lucky I kept those cuts where others couldn't see them." Zuko mumbled as he wrapped up Aang's arm, the rest of the cuts were already covered and Aang didn't look at him. After Zuko finished, he helped Aang get his shirt back on and tied his wrists again. He sat down, grabbing a nearby book, and started reading.

"How…how are you able to do that to someone if it was done to you?" Aang asked; Zuko frowned.

"What makes you think anyone did that to me?" Aang only looked at him, "Whatever." He opened his door and went down the hall to get some soldiers to lock Aang up.

Aang was able to get away despite the pain.

When a soldier told Zuko of this he merely nodded and turned a page in his book.

Heh, if you don't get what happened then maybe you don't want to, regardless, it will be specified later, i just suck at writing it.

I'd just like to point out that i have no page separaters in the actual chapters and have to add them in here, therefore i may forget them at some point, i apologize if i forget them and it seems to jump all over the place...which it will if i don't put them in XD

Reviews make me happy and updating, with enough reviews i could update in an hour...or i could update in a week, it's up to the response XD
