Sorry there was no A.N. last time! I was tired and just wrote that first chapter and forgot to type up any info for you! So I apoligize for the kind of confusing AU. I'm going to clear some things up that will make it easier to understand the story:

So what happened was Zuko had sided with Azula back in Ba Sing Sae, gaining Ozai's 'acceptance' so when the comet came through Aang and Ozai fought, Zuko and Azula were being guarded in a bunker underground, and then when Aang tried to take Ozai's bending away Ozai used the last of his power to strengthen his will, and strengthened it enough that it corrupted Aang, which messed up the energy transfer and resulted in both of their deaths. Since Ozai was now dead, and all of the Fire Nation's, nobles, citizens, government officials, and, well, basically everyone, were terrified of Azula, so when she said she was to be crowned Firelord, be damned if she wasn't. So she was crowned Firelord and then became paranoid. She sent Mai and Ty Lee to prison, because they knew everything she had done, and the Kyoshi warriors had been there for a while already (Suki was at Boiling Rock since Zuko wasn't sided with the GAang and Sokka had no idea where she was) and the others were in the same prison Ty Lee and Mai were sent to. They got close and formed and escape plan and seperated so it would be harder to find them. Azula banished Zuko, and executed Iroh, so Zuko had nothing and now we have where my story comes from :) Thanks to all of you that Subscribed, favorited, and reviewed!

'I want to see her again' Zuko shot up when the thought entered his mind. He suddenly felt a pull inside of him, a tug. He stood and looked into the mirror again. It wasn't a mirror, it was a pond, but, it worked as one. He had been here so long that he had started referring to it as a mirror. She confused him. She had the will of a warrior, but an overall motherly personality. Her hair was wavy, and, in a way, alluring. Back in the cave he had wanted to touch it, run his fingers through it, feel the strands against his fingers. He found her tempting, in many ways. She tempted him to trust again, to heal, to open his heart, to accept help. But he had still betrayed her because of his god forsaken honor. He had inevitably run into her many times. He simply wanted to see her. It was more a whim, a fleeting desire. It was still strong enough to make him stand, and walk. He walked through the woods, he just kept walking. He remembered when Uncle had been teaching him about the different nations. He most vividly remembered Uncle telling him about the waterbenders. How they were full of love, and a sense of community and family. That night when he was screaming at the Gods, begging them to shoot him down with lightning, not understanding why they were holding back. They had never held back with tormenting him before, why now? He remembered crying, finally giving up on the Gods. He had screamed as the tears had escaped him. His feet continued moving, almost of their own volition. He wasn't paying attention to where they were taking him. He just needed to find people, even just one person, to get a lead on where to find the feisty young bender. Although she wouldn't be young now. Younger than him of course, but no longer the adolescent she was. She would now be around fifteen or sixteen years old. She was an adult. At least, she was of marrying age. He shook his head. That wasn't relevant. What was relevant now was the person he spotted in the distance. He watched them draw a fan, and begin to do what looked almost like a dance with it. They were standing in a snow-covered clearing, wearing green clothing slash armor. He continued his approach of the figure and was able to recognize the white and red face paint. A Kyoshi Warrior. So, he thought, I have been on Kyoshi. The girl's hair was worn in a long braid though. Her movements were fluid, she appeared to be quite limber. It caused a thought to tickle the back of his mind, but he shoved it off. He was merely twenty paces from her. As he got within distance, he reached out to tap her shoulder, and he felt a whoosh of air and the a jab with the fan. Suddenly his arm went limp. In the next instant he felt something sharp against his throat. He was able to make out the edge of a fan against his neck, the sharp edge cutting into his skin slightly, drawing blood. He saw the warrior's face go slack with shock

"Zuko!" the girl gasped, recognizing him. He figured she remembered him from when he had attacked the village. His body was stiff, the fan still pressing against his throat had relaxed, but blood was still dripping down his neck and seeping into his already dirtied shirt. The girl was still staring at him with a shell shocked look. He took advantage of her distraction, swinging his leg out and kicking the backs of her knees, causing her to fall. As she fell though the fan slid against his neck, lengthening the cut and spattering blood in the snow. He grunted in pain, and pushed back his bloodied hair and held his neck. The warrior swung her head around and looked at him. "Oh I'm sorry !" she said, "I didn't mean to do that, are you okay?" She had a high pitched voice, and it was so familiar to him, but he couldn't place it. He opened his mouth to answer her question, but at first, he wasn't able to. He had not spoken in well over eight months, and it took him a moment to remember how to speak.

"I'm…fine…," His voice had always had a raspy quality to it, and the long term disuse of it made his speech almost inaudible, and it hurt his throat. Since it was only them in the clearing though, the small girl heard him. She smiled hugely at him.

"Zuko where were you hiding? After Azula had Mai and me thrown in jail we managed to escape, but we had to split up to be less findable so I went with the Kyoshi warriors, since we got to know each other in prison and the let me join them and they helped us escape, of course they freed themselves to, but anyways," she rambled, "I don't know where Mai went, I haven't seen her in over a year. I heard you were banished after Azula was crowned, and no one knew where you were and no one could find you, so they assumed you were dead, but then Azula got paranoid I guess and had troops searching for you, but they couldn't find you either, so that made people decide you were dead for sure!" she finished, her eyes probing, wanting some kind of information.

"…Wandering…ended up here," he answered her. His throat still hurt when he tried to talk so he could only get a few words out at a time. Wait he thought Azula, Mai, in jail, flexible, the paralyzing jabs, the huge grin, the braid. "Ty…Lee..? Why? Need to know where," Dammit it hurt to talk! He braced himself, "Do you know…where the water tribe…girl went?" He forced the question out of his burning throat.

"Oh her?" she said, "Yeah everyone knows what happened to her, the poor girl," she said sadly.

"Zuko's gut dropped, "What…do you mean..?"

To Mayaari: Don't worry this isn't going to be easy on him at all. I'm going to feel kind of bad about the crap I have planned on putting little Zuzu through. I will check out your forum too
