I do not own Avatar: The Last Airbender or Naruto.

It was a sunny day in Konohagakure.

The sand siblings had just delivered documents to Lady Tsunade and she was keeping them overtime to explain them. Temari got bored and she knew she shouldn't, but she snuck out to go and rest at the training grounds. She sat one the bare ground loving the cool breeze and sounds of rustling leaves.

"Watch out!" a male voice yelled, breaking the silence.

A blast of fire was headed straight at her.

She dodged and hit the dirt just in time.

"Sorry," the same voice said. "That was my fault."

She looked up and saw a boy with scruffy, short, black hair and amber eyes. He had a strange scar on his left eye. He seemed to be of Chinese descent.

"Are you okay?" the boy asked.

"Are you okay my butt!" Temari yelled. "I could've been charcoal!"

"Sorry--"

"Sorry?"

Temari rolled her eyes.

"I'd be better of in Lady Hokage's office," Temari mumbled. "All I wanted is some piece and quiet."

"You don't have to get all worked up, y'know," the boy snapped.

"Excuse me! I--"

Suddenly a crash cut Temari off.

It was thunder.

Rain began to pour down and lightning flashed.

In their arguement they hadn't noticed the storm brewing.

"Forget it," the boy said. "Let's just get out of this storm."

He and Temari began to walk towards Konohagakure. The path was slippery and Temari lost her footing and fell.

"Are you alright?" the boy asked again. "And don't reply as you did last time."

"I'm oka--ow!" Temari yelled.

"What is it? Your ankle?"

"I think so."

"Here."

The boy began to put her on his back.

"No," Temari rejected.

"Oh, yes you will," the boy retorted. "Now c'mon! The storm is worsening."

He put her on his back and set off again.

He noticed a cave. He went in.

"We'll rest here," he said, putting her down.

Temari was frustrated with the results of her outing. She just sat there saying nothing.

The boy found some leaves and branches in the cave and shot a blast of fire from his hand making a fire for warmth.

Temari's eyes widened so the boy could tell she was interested.

"I'm a firebender," the boy said. "I'm Prince Zuko by the way. I come from the Fire Nation."

Temari wasn't quite sure she understood but she followed along.

"I'm Temari from Sunagakure," she said.

Zuko smiled.

"You know it's much nicer when you're not angry," he said.

She gave a half smile.

Suddenly Zuko's face saddened.

"What?" Temari asked. "Why are you unhappy?"

"Sorry," Zuko said. "You just made me think about my girlfriend."

"Don't get sad over that. You'll see her when you go back to the Fire Nation."

"Yeah...If I get killed."

"What?"

"She's dead, Temari."

"Oh, I didn't know..."

"It's okay. It's not your fault."

He put his hand on her shoulder.

"It's okay."

Temari smiled, fully his time.

"Okay," she said. "Feel better then."

Zuko grinned.

"Thanks."
