All That I Have Left

Katara and Zuko are alone out in some woods off the Fire Nation map. Aang failed to deafeat the Fire Lord and the only two people who are still alive and free are Katara and Zuko. Learning that if they are going to save the world, and their friends they have to do it together. Relationships grow as they grow stronger together facing all their troubles one step at a time. They're are just two teens who are scared and more than anything angry, but are going to do all that they can to take back all that was theirs.

A/N: This silly idea just bursted into my head and I honestly don't know how it's going to go but I like it and I'm going to make it work! This rating may change idek ~ but I am going to continue this because I'm already starting on the second chapter! Any who the first chapter is just a prologue to what happened before Zuko and Katara began to became the most baddest of asses theire ever will be, because you can expect alot of awesome Zutara batlles in this story. hehe^u^. It's basically after Zuko gets hit by lightning for Katara, and Katara chains up Azula and such. Basically since Aang couldn't kill the Fire Lord and since the airship fleets were'nt knocked down more soldeirs were able to fight on the battle grounds, and Katara had to make a run for it since Zuko was hurt. Gaaah this is going to be probably a little dramatic but of course all add my silly little humor into it! Hope you liek it and enjoy!

PROLOGUE

When he woke up the first thing he remembers seeing was blue eyes looking down at him. Then he felt something like rain falling upon his cheek. It wasn't until he fully regained consciousness, and all sensing abilities, that the rain was actually tears falling from those blue eyes.

It was Katara, he thought, it had to be Katara. She was cradling his head into her chest as tears just continued to fall from her eyes.

The first thing on his mind was this pain in his chest that possessed the feeling as though he had been stabbed by fire, because it burned like nothing else.

He made a grunt as he felt the pain in his chest increase as Katara hugged him. She quickly let him go and studied his face. She was still crying, but at least she was smiling.

"…Katara…" He rasped out. Even speaking hurt. He has never felt any pain like this before, and he's been burned by scorching fire on his face, and this burning sensation in his chest hurt like hell.

"Shh don't move I'm not done healing you."

He heard her speak but he wasn't really processing anything at the moment other than trying to think what the hell happened.

The feeling of two cool hands touched the place where it hurt the most. He jerked, but relaxed as the pain subsided and felt a nice cool massage move over his aching muscles.

"Done."

Through half lidded eyes and with a scratchy voice he whispers, "Thank you, Katara."

She just smiles back down at him with more teary eyes and whispers back, 'I think I'm the one who should be thanking you."

Before Zuko could do anything else, ask any more questions, his eyelids grew heavy and decided right now was a good time to sleep.

00OOoo00OOoo00OOoo00OOoo00

When he woke up again he was alone, and this time had a clearer understanding of his surroundings. These tall trees in a forest surrounded him, it had to be morning, at least that's what it felt like. He tried to stand up, but his chest busted with pain. As he clenched at his chest he noticed the wrappings surrounding it.

"Where am I?" he thought.

Looking to his right he saw a huge stick, reached for it, and used it as support as he stood up.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you."

Zuko snaps his head back quickly to see who was there. And there stood Katara. She was holding what looked like a bunch of fruit and nuts.

"Glad you're up it's about time I was starting to worry that… never mind. Do you want some lychee nuts?"

"Katara, what happened? Where is Azula? Where's the rest of the group?" Zuko's mind was racing with worries and questions.

Katara sat down by an unlit campfire. She popped a lychee nut in her mouth and shook her head no.

"Katara! What happened? Why are we out here? Where is everyone?" His temper rose, he began to grow frustrated. He never was a big fan of not knowing things.

"I don't know!" Katara yells while looking into the pile of burned logs as if a fire where burning.

They just sat their in silence for a while, questions roamed through each other's minds. Zuko began to realize what had happened from what he last remembers. Azula… he thought. They were fighting Azula, a battle between them and the fire nation, and from what it looks like the fire nation had won.

"Katara… Please tell me… What happened?" Zuko spoke as he limped over to sit by her. She shook her head again and sighed before speaking.

"You were out for four days, and in over those four days the fire nation has taken over everything, and now... You are the only thing that I have left…"

Zuko stared at her in shock as she wiped her tears away. "Three days? How could I have been unconscious for three whole days?"

"You don't know where Aang and everyone else is?"

Katara shook her head again. "All I know is that once things started taking a bad turn I... I ran and dragged you away from all the soldiers. I found this forest and decided to hide here until things cleared up or until you got better. I tried so hard to stay and fight but I just couldn't there was so many... I needed to get you somewhere safe to heal you.

After I got you here and healed you, I just waited. For four whole days, I waited for you to wake up… or for someone to save us. I wanted to go back and check but I couldn't leave you here so I-"

"Wait you just left like that! You just sat back and did nothing knowing our friends are still out there!"

"Well what could I do Zuko! You were the only one who I knew I could save, so don't you get mad at me, I did what I could." Tears began pouring from her eyes. "My brother was out there and I don't even know if he's alive, but I'm staying here with you because like I said… you're all I got Zuko! You're all I got..."

Zuko just clenched his jaw and fist and blow flames at the first object he saw, which was a tree. Katara couldn't blame him. Nothing else was left but anger for them to feel. No more hope, no more love, no more happiness, just hate and anger

"Zuko… please don't hurt yourself… You're all I have left… all that I have left." She sobbed.

Zuko turned back towards her and watched her son. It was then Zuko realized what Katara had done. She cared and protected him for four days, knowing, and wanting to go back outside the woods, but this was the safest spot for him and her. She was just doing what she was told. He realized that she was feeling exactly how he was. He realized that she's doing this beacuse it's what they need to do to survive. He realized that she was now all that he had left…
