A/N just a random one shot hope you like it!

Disclaimer: if I owned Avatar would Zuko ever wear a shirt? didn't think so!

Zuko and Katara stood in the middle of the clearing. Zuko smirked maliciously and threw a fireball at the water bender. "Katara dodged and sent a water whip at Zuko's head. It hit him squarely in the head before he could dodge it. "You won't get that lucky again" he growled at her.

"It wasn't luck prince Zuko" she said dripping with sarcasm. He kicked out another blast of fire hitting her on the arm sending a shot of pain up to her shoulder. She cried out in pain and steadied herself. She sent a wave crashing onto the shore where they stood next to the small pond.

"Nice try water peasant" Zuko smirked as he ducked away from the wave. "I'm not even warmed up yet" Katara said savagely. "Well then lets see what you've got" Zuko and Katara didn't hold back, the fight went on until all of there bending power was zapped and it was hand to hand

Zuko threw a punch at Katara. She caught his hand before it hit her face. They were both sweating profusely. Katara kicked out at Zuko but he leapt out of the way and lost his balance.

"Nice job Zuko so much for royal grace" Katara laughed. Zuko kicked her legs out from under her. She lost her balance as he intended but unfortunately for him she landed on top of him. She smirked down at him "I still win" she said breathing heavily.

"We'll see" he replied as he flipped himself and Katara over reversing there position. "I win" he smirked but the smirk quickly faded when he realized there position, her underneath him and him with one hand on either side of her face for balance

'She is beautiful' he thought 'get a hold of you Zuko' he thought to himself. They stared at each other deep gold meeting ice blue. Two opposites that fit so perfectly together yin and yang if you will.

Slowly his face moved downward towards hers as hers rose up to meet the challenge. He put his hand behind her neck and their lips touched unlike there fights this was sweet and innocent. Almost shyly Zuko slid his tongue along her lip asking permission to enter. Permission she gave as her lips parted and their kiss became a duel for dominance which Zuko won.

They broke for air and Zuko realized what he was doing. He jumped off of Katara and she stood up slowly. "I'm sorry" he stammered. "Just go" she whispered touching her lips. "But I…" he said "please Zuko just go" she said with a tear in her eyes. "Katara a promise you I will come back for you when this war is over" he said 'what are you doing!' he yelled at himself "Zuko it can never be" she said with her tears streaming. "I don't care" he said coolly. He gave her one last kiss on the cheek and departed.

"Please come back for me" she said as she walked back to her brother and Aang.

This is a one shot! No sequel!
