Loveless

Hi everybody; I'm sorry that I haven't updated in a while. Well, I'm finally free and so this is my new story. It's called Loveless and I couldn't wait to get this one out and if I posted this and this means that I finished Zuko and Katara in the 21st Century. NO worries, I will finish Love is Forbidden between a Prince and a Concubine. Oh yeah, my Tokyo Pop magazine finally came and guess what (if you already know, then it's not a surprise) they made The Avatar into a cine-manga and it is due to release in October. It has three volumes for $20.00. I knew that they were being created; I just didn't know when it would've come out. Anyway, please read and review!

Disclaimer: I do not own The Avatar: The last Airbender.

It's Over?

Zuko

Zhao had requested a meeting with me and he said that it was very important. I couldn't imagine what he had to tell me; after all I was a fugitive. Luckily my crew stayed loyal to me; I applaud them because I'm not sure what I would've done if I was them. I wasn't going to go, but my Uncle persuaded me to go; he suggested that we both be on guard. I had on my Fire Nation uniform, only difference about me is that I no longer have a ponytail. I left my room, and went on deck to meet my Uncle. He was waiting for me at plank.

"Prince Zuko are you ready?" He asked me.

"As ready as I will ever be." I said.

"Remember; let Zhao make the first move and if you get into a fight remember your basics."

"I know Uncle." I said and we across the plank to Zhao's ship. He was waiting for us at the end.

"Hello gentlemen. I'm glad that you accepted my invite." He said, and he smiled that smiled like he was up to something.

"Admiral Zhao." I said and he just looked at me.

Follow me was all he said. He led us to his captain room.

"Everybody in here out now!" He yelled to the sailors. Once everyone was out of the room, except for the soldiers that follow us in here, he began to talk.

"As you know Prince Zuko, we are both on a quest to capture the Avatar. For our own purposes, but unlike me, you need the Avatar to regain your honor and to return home…" He said, but I cut him off.

"Zhao, what do you want! Why the hell are you telling me pointless information?" I said.

"Prince Zuko, calm down." I heard my uncle say, but I could careless at this point.

"Prince Zuko, if I was you I would learn to control that temper of yours. If I wanted to I could turn you in to your own father and he would kill you for being a fugitive and being a traitor towards the Fire Nation." He said. I had nothing to say to him after that comment.

"Good choice." He said and I knew he felt the change in temperature. "As I was saying; you need the avatar in order to return home or…" Then I knew what he was getting at.

"The Water Princess." We both said and my eyes widen. There is no way that he could've found her. Their blood line, died out after my grandfather killed their king, queen and all their heirs.

"That's right Prince Zuko; I found her." He said. He walked over to the guard and whispers something to him in his ear and they left the room.

"Tell me Prince Zuko, why the Fire Lord would let you return home if you had the water princess, for I have no idea why he would do that. If you asked me, I wouldn't let you return at all. You would've remained in exile to the end of your days."

"Nobody asked you Zhao." I heard my uncle say.

"He would let me return if I was to marry her and by doing this all the lands that belonged to her would be under the command of the Fire Nation and because the Water Nation soldiers would fight in his name. This would mean a quicker way to wining the war also."

"Exactly, but I'm afraid that you will remain in exile forever." He said.

"I don't believe you Zhao! Their bloodline has been in extinction for sixteen years." I yelled at him and the room became warmer. Just then the soldiers had return; I had turn to look to see who the Water Princess was and it was the Avatar's female companion. They walked her up to Zhao and left her there and Zhao dismissed them. Her clothes were torn and mattered. Half her shirt was gone, while one pants leg was left, on the other completely gone. Her hair was no longer in the hair style she normally wore, it was down. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying; she also had bags underneath her eyes. She looked weak from the lack of food. Her hands were tied behind her back and she had a rag in mouth, so she couldn't talk. Zhao pulled her forward and made her face us.

"You see it turns out that the Prince of Water Nation had a mistress and she gave birth to her. Before you ask the question, 'how do I know that you are not lying' let me show you the birth mark that all the royals had in the Water Nation. I'm sure your dear uncle will recognize it." He said. He spun her around and moves her hair over. There on her neck was a mark. The mark was a picture of yin and yang. My uncle gasp and I knew now, that Zhao wasn't lying.

"What happen to her mother?" my Uncle asked her.

"Oh, you mean Suri; I raped and then killed the little bitch for not answering my questions." He said and laughed. The avatar's friend look up and took a step backwards; apparently she must've been there when it happen. I knew she was giving him a dirty look. When Zhao finished laughing, he saw what she was doing.

"Don't give me that dirty look! If she would've listen to me, maybe she would've live." He said. The next thing he did was shocking. He slaps her and she fell to the ground. When she looked up she had tears in her eyes. The tears were either from the slap or the fact behind her mother's death. Zhao moved and she flinched away.

"Zhao that is no way to treat a young lady, especially the Water Princess." my Uncle said.

"HAHAHAHA!" Zhao laughed.

"Zhao, what is so funny!" My uncle yelled. This was the first time in my life that I heard my uncle yell.

"This wench is not a lady. Why do you think her clothes are torn?" He said and smiled evilly.

"Zhao you didn't." my Uncle said.

"No, I didn't the crew did. She tried to fight back, but it was no use. Once the crew was finished with her, it was my turn. I told them not to take her virginity away though. That was my job, she is no longer pure, a maiden if you wish to put it that way." I looked at her and she turned away from me. I was in rage now!

"Zhao, you had no right to take her future away from her!" I said and threw a fire ball at his head. He blocked it.

"Zuko, I knew you would do this. Guards." He said and they came in and start attacking us. Me and my Uncle began fighting; I was worrying about him, after all he is just healing after that in counter with Zula. I would glance at him now and then to make sure he was okay. We took all of them out in about ten minutes. After we were done, it just occurred to me that the Avatar's companion was still in the room. My uncle was already there taking care of it. He took the rag out her mouth and untied arms. She rubbed her wrist and then went to Zhao's desk. I was wondering what she was looking for. I gather that she found it because her eyes lit up. She grabbed it and ran out of the room.

"Zuko, what are you waiting for go after her." my Uncle said. I nodded and we left the room in a hurry. When we reach the deck Zhao was on the floor and the girl was on top him. From our distance, we couldn't make out what she was doing. That's when my uncle and I figure out what she was doing. She was stabbing him over and over again.

"Zuko get her and bring to your ship." I nodded and I ran over there. I tried to pull her off of him but she was fighting.

"Let me go! I need to kill him." She yelled. I was pulling her farther away from him. I had to lift her up and pull her away.

"Zuko!" She screeched. "Let me go; I need him to feel my pain that I am in." She said. My uncle came over to us and noticed that she was struggling. I looked at him and he nodded. I let her go and she started running towards him. Before she got there, I pulled her arm back and punched her in the stomach. I picked her up bridal style and carried her to my ship. In the distance, I could hear my uncle yelling at them.

"Get Zhao a doctor, he will live and don't follow us."

So, what do you think? HUH? Well please read and review! Any questions, ask away and I will try to answer it! Later!
