Ok, I'm a HUGE Zuko/Katara fan they NEED to be together. SO, this is my vision of a relationship between them.

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT own any of the Avatar characters.

Zuko sat in his room, tryign to figure it out. Why had he felt the want—no, the need—for Katara's sympathy in the catacombs of Ba Sing Se? Why did he take it easy on her in all those fights they'd been in? Did he love her? That last question swirled around in his mind all of the time.

He sighed and looked out the window. The sun was going to eclipse soon. He had better ready for the battle. He stood up and had the Hands help him with his armor. He grabbed his Dual Swords and clipped their sheath to his belt. Then he went outside and waited for Black Sun.

Katara quickly got a few sacks full of water and attached them all to her hips. She practiced a few tecniques to get a better hold of her bending and then she was ready to go.

"Katara, you ready?" Sokka asked.

"Yeah, I'm ready." She replied.

"Yip yip." Aang said to Appa. Then the bison took off.

"Aang, Sokka." Katara said. The boys looked at her. "Zuko's mine." She sounded angry. Angrier than when Jet lied to her.

"Ok." Sokka said carefully.

"No," Aang said. "Katara, he's—"

"No, Aang!" Katara interrupted. "He's mine. I'm fighting him, got it?"

"Yes," Aang answered quickly. "Y-you can fight him."

"That's what I thought." Katara said, looking off into the distance. Sokka and Aang glanced at each other than ahead.

Zuko stared at the horizon as the sun began to rise. He grabbed hold og his swords when he saw the bison's sillohette in the distance. It was about to begin.
