Arrival 1- Red Spirit

Running through the misty path of the lower levels of Ba Sing Se, the Blue Spirit needed someone to fight tonight because he needed to vent his anger. He knew that he shouldn't attack anyone from the Dai Li or else they would kill him, so he had to choose another target that would be worth it. Landing on a high rooftop of a shop, his hidden eyes searched the areas close by.

Immediately he found his perfect target; the man who had spilt tea on him while walking off. Rage entered the Blue Spirit when he remembered how the man didn't even apologize because he was rich and knew he wouldn't attack unless he wanted to be fired. The real man under the mask wanted his revenge no matter what the cost was.

He jumped down and began running full force at the targeted man and at the same time, wondered what he should do; steal his money, cut him with the dual sword, anything seemed tempting. The Blue Spirit brought out his dual swords and the man turned around to see that his head was going to be sliced off. He came closer to the man while accelerating his speed, thinking one thing…

'Vengeance is mine.' The Blue Spirit whispered in his mind when all of a sudden-

WHACK!
CRASH!

The Blue Spirit was kicked in the head out of nowhere and crashed into some barrels and a stack of duck and sparrowkeet cages and broke them. He rubbed his head and looked at the person who attacked him and almost thought he was looking at his self in an opposite mirror. Immediately he grabbed his dual swords and stared at the new opponent who stood in the way of his kill.

From the looks of the chest and feminine body figure, he could clearly state that this person was a woman. Her attire was a light gray color that was practically white for that matter, and her mask was red. In her hands were two Sais, and she got herself in ready position.

'Who the hell is she?' The Blue Spirit wondered momentarily. 'Doesn't matter, she isn't my target,' he looked to the man, 'he is.'

Ignoring her, he jumped up and ran around her to attack the man that dead stiff and completely terrified. As the Blue Spirit was making his attack, again, the women interfered and lifted her Sais to fight in which made him go into a complete halt. Well this is amusing; he was the bad and she was the good?

'Well, might as well call her the Red Spirit, for now that is.' He silently chuckled.

To show her that she was out of her league, he summoned his element to his swords, and they began to flame up. She proved him wrong by summoning her own element to her Sais, and it turned to ice. This was a surprising turn of events, and they both silently chuckled, but the favors were his as he knew from previous experience from a water bender he met before, that she needed to be near water to use it as their supply while he didn't.

'I have an advantage.'

The Red Spirit shoved the man lightly away and he snapped out of shock then ran away, causing the Blue Spirit to get pissed off. She started to take a few steps back and hopped on the roof, tempting the Blue Spirit to follow her which he gladly accepted for his new revenge. He wasn't going to let some woman show him off and get away with it so he followed her.

She laughed mentally and began running off with him at toe, 'he's so dense.' The Red Spirit then stopped near a little creek where water could be in her possession, 'he's a fire bender though, so of course I have an advantage from fighting Zuko at the North Pole.'

The Blue Spirit caught up with her and looked at his surrounding, only to have a sai thrown at his head. Immediately he dodged it and watched the sai hit the crate that was ten feet behind him, when he turned to the Red Spirit, she was running at him quickly in zigzags. He brought up his dual swords to protect himself and she ducked down to kick his feet under him.

THUD!

He fell on his back and groaned in pain from meeting the concrete so hard on his back and head. The Red Spirit placed her sai at his neck, and placed her free hand on the chin of his mask. Valuing his life more than his identity, he could only close his eyes tightly and looked away.

Her hand gently removed off the Blue Spirits mask and revealed the banished prince of the Fire Nation's face. The Red Spirit dropped his mask to the side in shock and sprung to her feet. Zuko sat up and looked at her to see that she was so surprised that she dropped her sai; leaving her defenseless.

He stood up immediately and sent out a fireball at her and she dodged it quickly. Zuko ran at her angrily as he now tried to kill her, but she kept moving so it was really annoying. It almost reminded him of the water bender he knew of again, but he knew that she wasn't even in Ba Sing Se.

The Red Spirit ran over to her first sai and then her next to put them away then started to run off. Zuko wasn't letting her go that easily and so he placed his swords away and grabbed his mask while chasing after her. He caught up to her and punched her in the shoulder blade, causing her to crash into a wall.

His fist rose to hit her and went he sent it to her face; she stopped it quickly which caught him off by surprise. Again, the Red Spirit kicked his feet from under him, and held his fist still to set him down slowly. As he was placed on the ground, he tried to get up but she placed her hands on his shoulders and sat on his waist to keep him down.

"W-what are you doing wench?!" Zuko blushed as he yelled.

They stayed in that position for two long minutes till Zuko began to calm down from his rage. She released his shoulders and placed her hands on his chest, causing him to be confused more than ever. Thinking that he could get away with it, he brought his hand to the chin of her red mask, and she didn't move.

Zuko pulled off the mask gently to not hurt his rival and nearly gasped in completely shock. Her blue eyes opened and looked into his gold ones and they locked together for what seemed to be for an eternity. There was nothing that could describe just how shocked he was to find out that it was the water bender.

"You're that peasant…" Zuko whispered.
She nodded, "and you're that banished prince, Zuko."
"What the hell; what are you doing here!" He glared.
"I should ask you the same thing," Katara scowled, "I didn't think you would attack someone who was vulnerable."
"Why are you here, where's the avatar!"
"At home away from you obviously."
"Why do you have that mask, peasant!"
"I wanted revenge on the Blue Spirit."
"The get your revenge!" Zuko yelled angrily.
"Fine," she leaned over.

The fire bender shut his eye and waited for a punch in the face, but instead, he received a kiss on the lips and he looked at her. Katara then stood up to get off him and then helped him to his feet. As she turned to leave, he grabbed her by the arm and whipped her around so they could look at each other.

"What the hell was that kiss for?" Zuko glared.
"You saved Aang when my brother and I were sick." She replied.
"Then why the hell did you attack me?!"
"Oh, well, you were going to kill that man…"
"You kicked me in the head just for that?! You bitch! That hurt!" He roared.
Katara smiled, "sorry." She then turned to walk away again.
"I wasn't through with you!"

Zuko turned her around by grabbing her arm yet again and smacked his lips roughly against hers. Katara tried pulling away in shock but his grip was too strong so she only obliged obediently and placed her arms around his neck. He set her back against the wall and explored her mouth till he was out of breath and departed from her lips.

Katara panted, "what… was… that… for…?"
The fire bender looked at her, "you're… a good… rival…"
"Is that… so?"

"Yes…" and again he took to her mouth, but this time, Katara wasn't as obedient as she now battled for dominance over him.
