Title: All I ever wanted

Summary: Another Zutara thriller. Zuko has Katara, again. But this time, things are different. Lots of action and romance. ZxK, AxT, Sx?

"Throw her into the cell." Zuko said, handing the waterbender to one of his men.

"But Prince, they are all full." The soldier responded, dutifully. Zuko turned around, a glare in his amber eyes.

"Then throw her where we have room." He said, walking away. The soldier shoved her into his comrade's arms. "Put her in the guest room." He ordered.

"But won't that upset the Prince?" His comrade questioned. The soldier raised an eyebrow.

"He told us to put her where there was room, right?" He replied. The soldier nodded and took the young girl to the room as he was ordered.

Katara woke with a throbbing headache. Every sound she heard was another moment in agony. Whenever she tried to open her eyes, another strike of pain wove its way through her head. Zuko had her, she had already figured that out. She was probably on one of his ships, but between the hurt that shook her body and the little thoughts Katara could process, she wasn't exactly all in her right place at the moment. Trying to avert her mind off the pain, Katara tried to open her eyes again. A dim light came into view and she was able to blink with little pain. Slowly, things came into focus. The Fire Nation symbols covering the room. The crimson and blackened and gold colors showering the room. Katara propped herself up on her elbows. Yes, she was on Zuko's ship. She could feel the waves calling to her through the walls that seperated her from the water. She turned her head as the door opened. Prince Zuko walked in with a smug expression on his face. "Tell me where the avatar is, and where he is going." Zuko demanded.

Katara shook her head, refusing to open her lips. Zuko growled, not wanting to deal with this pathetic peasant. An idea formed in his head as he brought his face down, levels to hers. A grin crossed his face.

"I believe we can help each other. Because, you filthy peasant, you have something I want. And I..." He reached into his pocket and drew out a blue stone hanging on a piece of blue silk. "Have something you want." He whispered into her ear.

Katara gasped. Her mother's necklace. That horrible, emotionless, filthy, bastard! But she wouldn't say anything. She wouldn't betray her friends and family just for a necklace. He would kill her before she did that. Katara smiled, and opened her mouth. Zuko watched her lips carefully, a smile on his own face. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all. Then, Katara spit in his face. Stumbling, backwards, Zuko yelled. "No." She said as he looked at her.

Standing up, Zuko marched over to her and did something rash. He struck her across the face the left the room, boiling with anger. Katara touched the place where he hit her, shocked beyond belief.

Zuko marched out of the room, wiping his face. The peasant, how dare she. She was below him, a filthy disgusting pathetic weak waterbender. Zuko stalked pass Iroh on his walk to his own chamber. "Zuko, is something wrong?" Iroh asked calmly.

"No, nothing's wrong! Everything's perfect! I am perfectly fine!" Zuko yelled, slamming the door behind him as he went into his room.

Iroh sighed and marched to the guards, questioning them on what had happened. Zuko went into his room and flopped down onto the bed. That annoying girl. He was so close. So close to having the avatar and having his honor restored. He rolled over onto his back. That girl would never know what it was like. To loose your mother, loose your honor, to be embarrased and banished like a common traitor. She would never know the pain. Never would she know the pain that laid behind his scar. Zuko reached up and touch the monstrousity that covered the side of his face. He sighed. He needed to meditate. He needed the avatar.

As soon as Zuko and his guards left, Katara laid down on the matress trying to fight back the salty tears that stung her blue eyes. He hit her. He hit her. That bastard of a prince hit her. And her mother's necklace. How had he gotten that? And why did he have it? He had just dangled it in front of her face, knowing she couldn't get it back. Knowing she wouldn't betray Aang.And then he hit her. Katara cursed him under ehr breath as she heard the door open again. Oh no, he was back. "Hello? I thought you might be hungry, miss." She heard a sweet voice say.

Rolling over, Katara saw a plump man with grey hair and soft eyes. He looked harmless. He was carrying a tray with food on it. He sit it on the table. "I also brought some medicine for your head. I'm very sorry about my nephew. He shouldn't have hit you. I will have to speak with him about that." The old man said, holding out a cup of tea to her.

She took it gratefully. "Thank you." Katara said with a weak smile. She brought it up to her tembling lips.

He smiled. "I'm Iroh." Iroh said.

"I'm Katara. Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Iroh." Katara replied respectfully/

He laughed. "Just call me Iroh please. If you need anything, I'll be back. I promise. Just eat and the medicine is on the tray." Iroh ushered her. They smiled at each other, then he exited the room.

Iroh headed to Zuko's room. "Zuko!" He knocked on the door.

"Its open." He heard the prince say form inside the depths of the room.

Iroh opened it and went inside. Zuko sat on the floor, legs crossed. Clearly meditating. Iroh tapped his foot impatiently as Zuko opened one eye.

"What?" He asked.

"What? That's all you can say? Young Prince, you have disgraced me. You should know better then to treat a young girl like that. Especially a beautiful and sweet young grl like Katara." Iroh said.

Zuko groaned. His uncle had made friends with a prsioner, again.

"Uncle, she is my prisoner. I will treat her as I wish." Zuko responded. Iroh narrowed his eyes.

"You will not go around hitting Miss Katara."

"I will."

"You will not."

"Uncle."

"Zuko."

"Stop."

"No, Zuko, I will not stop. You will treat this lady with respect. Especially if you wish for her to be any assistance in helping you find the avatar." Iroh snapped. Yes, yes. Bring up the avatar. That will get him. Iroh thought in his mind with a glimmer of hope.

Zuko sighed. The man had a point. "Uncle, please, exit my room and let me meditate."

Iroh nodded. "Yes, Prince Zuko." Iroh turned around and left, a wide smile on his face. Oh yeah, I'm good. I'm so good.

The italics where Iroh's private thoughts. I hope you liked it. Now, lets go into this reviewing speech:
