Chase
This is rewritten thanks to the helpful review from The Cretin. I just wanna say think you for the help and nice review.
Disclaimer: I don't own Zuko and Azula. I'm just using them for my own plot. So read and enjoy.
Prologue
12 months. It had been 12 months since Ozai was defeated. 12 months since Azula had been locked away, 12 months since he made that decision that shocked the Fire Nation.
***Story***
(Flashback)
Zuko stared at his reflection, dark hair in the traditional top knot, and his gold eyes…they didn't hold the sparkle he knew they should have. He sighed and paced thinking about his current dilemma. He was going to be forced into a loveless marriage at the tender age of 17, just to save his Nation.
"You ready son?" He turned at faced his mother, former Fire Lady Ursa. She knew Mai wasn't the one her son loved. That the one he truly loved was locked behind steel bars. Dispised because of what her father and turned her into.
"As I'll ever be." Watching his bride make her way down the isle raised bile in his throat. He just could not see himself spending the rest of his life with her. She simply was not the one he loved, which is why he could not and would not do this. He dropped her hand, shaking his head as he backed away from her. Those black eyes weren't the ones he wished for, they didn't hold what the Gold ones did. "I can't do this, I'm sorry Mai."
Mai's confusion soon turned to anger. She knew why Zuko couldn't marry her, and it was because of the Fire Nation Princess. Azula had always had the upper hand when it came to Zuko and she still did. Well Mai was not letting him go without a fight.
"You chose her! The one who has tried to kill you God knows how many times. The one who will never love you!" Mai was wrong though, Azula did love him. In her own sick, twisted way.
"Yes." With that he left the shocked citizens and went to the only person he really wished to see. She was hunched on her knees, hands folded in he lap and her head bent.
"Where's the new Fire Lady Zuzu?" She sneered looking up at him. Zuko took her face in his hands and gently kissed her.
"Right in front of me." He turned to the guards who looks less then shocked at the Princes' actions. "Release her."
(End flashback)
That had been 12 months ago. Azula still had a long way to go, even zuko wasn't that stupid. There were some night she would have nightmares about father, then attacked Zuko thinking he was Ozai. Some days she went back to her old, sadistic self rubbing in all his failures as if he didn't already know them. Then there were night like these, where the 15 year old allowed him to hold and protect her. She let out a small whimper and Zuko knew she was dreaming about there father. He placed a tender kiss to her bare shoulder and she snuggled against him.
"Love you Zuzu." He smiled to himself this is why he had chased her. So he could have moments like these with his younger sister, and soon to be Firelady.
