Chapter 2: Life on Zuko's Ship

Katara

I woke up in an infirmary. I sat up and looked around the room. This couldn't be Zhao's ship because I would usually be in the dungeon, write now. I turned my attention to the door, when it opened. A little girl, which looked to be my age, came in. She had the same color eyes as Zuko, but her skin color was dark like me. Her hair was black, but when she came in the light it was brown; it hung loose and touched her back.

"Hi." She said, very cheerfully. I just looked at her, before I said anything. "What's wrong? I know you can talk, unless you are mute?"

"No, I'm not a mute." I finally said.

"See was that hard?" She challenged.

"No." I said.

"I didn't think so. Anyway my name is Janeru." She said and gave me a hug. This girl was very friendly and I could tell that I was going to be friends with her. So naturally I hugged her back. Then after this, I don't know what happen; I couldn't control myself. I started crying into her shoulders.

"Shh...Shhh." She whispers. "It's okay." After what seems to be an eternity of me crying, I stopped.

"Do you feel better?"

"Yeah, I kinda do." I said, and it was the first time that I think I smiled, but her smiled turned into a frown and then back to a smile.

"Good news first." She stated and I nodded my head. "First of all, let's get this straight. You are not pregnant with that buffoon's baby and second you, as I think you know, are not a virgin." I just sighed and looked down, ashamed as ever. Before I knew it, she grabbed my chin and lifted it up.

"Don't ever be ashamed of what happened! You didn't do a think and never regret the past. The past helps a person moves on. I don't know what happen to my brother Zuko, but hey. Anyway…" The rest I didn't hear; did she just say that her brother was Zuko.

"Wait, your brother is Zuko?" I asked. Before she could answer, Zuko answered for her.

"That's enough, Janeru. You may leave." He said, in a fierce tone.

"In just a minute." She said turning to him and then back me.

"I said now." He said and you could hear tone in his get stricter. I was shocked at what she did next. She shook it off and continued talking to me.

"What is your name, I didn't catch it." I could feel the temperature in the room changing.

"Katara." I said slowly.

"It was nice meeting you." She said. "I will see you later." She winked at me and whispered 'watch this' to me. I was eager to no what she was going to do. She walked up to Zuko and smiled.

"See that wasn't long was it." She said. He just gave her one of those 'I will talk with you later looks'. The next think was a big shocker. She hugs him and then ran out the room.

"Janeru!" He yelled and I saw a hint of pink on his cheeks.

"I love you Zuzu." She yelled, as she got farther down the hall. I started giggling and he sent me glared.

"Follow me, I will show you to your room." He said and left. I hopped now off the bed and followed him.

"Zuko?" I asked.

"What?" he said.

"I never got to thank you for saving me. So thank you." I said. He didn't answer me. We came to a door and we stopped.

"This is your room." He said and unlocked it. The room was all blue, with different shades of blue in there. I gasped. I walked in and looked around.

"It's so beautiful, I love it." I said and turned to him.

"This room was made just for you because you are royalty. Trust me if u weren't, your room wouldn't be so extravagant. Lock your door at night and do not wonder around unattended. Tonight, I will send my sister to come get you when dinner is ready and we will discuss your situation that you are in." He said.

"Why does your sister look so different from you and Zula?" I asked. He turned around and started walking out the room.

"That's none of your damn business." He said and shut the door. I wonder why, he was so tense about it. I figured I would asked, that old men that was always around. I found the bathroom and took a bath. I scrubbed myself at least a dozen times, because I felt so dirty. After I finished my bath, I wrapped the towel around and went back into the bedroom. I went up to the dresser and opened it. The clothes were amazing. I ended up a choosing a simple white and red dress. The dress had a split that came up to my thigh and the neck part showed a little cleavage, but nothing to big. Underneath the dress was a light red and white legging. After, I finished getting dressed I decided to go up on deck, but I had no clue of where I would be going. I sighed and lay down on my bed and before I knew, I was fast asleep.

I must slept for a few hours, because there was a knock at the door. I yawned and went to open it.

"Hi, Katara!" Janeru said in high pitch voice.

"Hi, Janeru." I said and another yawn escaped.

"Well, follow me it's dinner time." She said and left. I closed my door and follow. I made sure that I paid attention to where I was going. So next time, I won't get lost. We were on deck, when she told me that we will be having dinner outside. The table was nice and big. We both took our place in our chair and waited for Zuko and Iroh to come. When they did come, we waited for the food to be ready. Once the food was passed out, we waited.

Five minutes later….

"I have know idea, why you all are not eating, but I'm going to eat." Janeru said and she started. Once she started, I started and everyone follow. Dinner took about twenty minutes eat and once that was done, Prince Zuko started talking.

"On with this business; peasant you have absolutely no choice but to marry me." He said. I gasped and I could tell they were waiting for my responses.

"One, my name is Katara; K-A-T-A-R-A. Two I appreciate you saving me and all, but there is no way in heaven, earth and hell am I going to marry you." I said.

"You will do as I say peasant!" He yelled and stood up and walked away. I couldn't believe him. I ran in front of him and slapped him. I put my hands on my waist and said it again.

"You can't not make me do this without a good reason." In the background I heard snickers and Zuko turned to look at them.

"Peasant, I don't have to explain anything to you." He said and threw a Fireball at him. I dodge it but barely. I summoned water from the sea and water whipped him in his chest.

"Stop fucking calling me that! My name is Katara." I said. He threw more fireballs at me and I blocked them. With the rest of my strength I summoned a huge wave. It came crashing down on everyone that was on deck. I knew he had to be pissed now.

Before we could continue Iroh and Janeru were in front of us both.

"Enough, you two; Zuko you owe her an explanation." Iroh said as we all dried ourselves off.

"I'm not telling her."

"Fine, I will tell her! Jeez, Zuko you are a big baby." Zuko gave a grunt and I waited for Janeru to tell me.

"Katara, my brother needs you in order to get back into the Fire Nation. By doing this, our father Ozai will no longer need to search for the avatar for a while." She said.

"If I do this, do you promise that he will leave Aang a long?" I asked.

"Yes, it will be just enough time for the Avatar to master all the elements and destroyed our father. If you do this though, the land the belongs to you will belong to the Fire Nation." She said,

" I will do it, as long as Ozai does not hurt the people living on the land and the Avatar." I said.

"Good, now that this is settled; I think you both owe each other an apology." Iroh said.

"I will say sorry, as long as Zuko over there will stop calling my peasant. After all I am royalty." I said, and smirked. Zuko didn't budge, after first.

"Zuko." I heard Iroh say.

"I'm sorry, Katara." He said and started walking to the door the led down into the ship. I ran up to him and said "I'm sorry." He nodded and walked away. I ran to back to Iroh and Janeru and to ask them a question.

"Can I water bend?"

"Yeah, go ahead." They said.
