A/N – This is still in Katara's POV.

"Come on Katara remember all the fun we had?" he said inching closer to Zuko and me. I crouched ready to fight, as did Zuko. Ready for anything he threw at us.

"Oh Katara there's no need for that." Jet said then backed up and went up into the trees. Oh great. I tensed but motioned for Zuko to follow me back to camp. He nodded.

As we went back to camp I wrestled with my mind. I couldn't like Zuko, he was fire nation. My...well not so much my enemy anymore, but still! I tried not to look at him. When we got about half way back to camp he suddenly pinned me to a tree I opened my mouth to scream but his lips came down on mine. His lips were soft and he tasted like warm honey. His tongue slid across my lips asking for entrance. I let him in, his tongue massaging mine ever so gently, then he kissed me once then twice before he let me go. He grinned at me and I smiled back.

"That was amazing." I said and he just nodded, then smiled again. God I loved that smile. So I said so. "You know you should smile more." he blushed I laughed a little then put my hand against his cheek. "You look cute when you blush." I siad not knowing where all this confidence came from. He blushed again and I smiled, then he smirked. Uh oh. His hand's snaked around my waist and his mouth covered mine completely, his tongue slipped into my mouth and gently glided along mine. I could feel the heat rising and as he continued to kiss me I moaned. He pulled away and I blushed and looked down. When we got back to camp we said goodnight and went to bed.

The next morning I noticed Zuko was acting like nothing had happened. Probably trying to make sure that no one knew what had went on. That was a good idea for now. I went to go ask Aang if he wanted to train then I watched him and Aang train. Later that afternoon while I was walking I heard Zuko and his friends. I was going to tell them that lunch was ready, but I heard their conversation first.

"So did you do it?" one asked.

"Of course I never turn down a dare bu..." Zuko said.

"Did she believe you actually liked her after you kissed her?" the other asked. I stood frozen pain, hurt, and shock running through me as I waited for Zuko's answer despite that I knew it.

"Of course she did but..." he answered. Tears ran down my face.

"Cool..." one said. They looked up suddenly and saw me. Zuko looked at me in horror I backed away.

"Katara wait..." I shook my head then ran, ytears streaming down my face. I heard Zuko yell after me, "Katara!" I just kept running. I ran right to my little hide away on the other side of the temple. When I got there I sat and cried. I couldn't believe that the whole time Zuko was acting on account of a dare. I heard foot steps and looked up to see Zuko. I stood wiping the tears away.

"What do you want." I asked coldly, my heart breaking just at the sight of him. He flinched when he saw the pain in my eyes I turned my head.

"Please let me explain." he begged.

"There's nothing to explain. The only reason you k...ki...kissed m...me was because of a dare." I said trying not to cry I brushed past him and avoided his hand and went to ask if Aang wanted to train.

Later that night I went for a walk. Sokka didn't like it but I didn't care I went anyway. As I was walking I hear someone behind me, I looked, noone. I walked a little faster. Then before I knew it Jet was in front of me.

"Hello Katara. I see you're not with your boyfriend." he pinned me against a tree. Then he brought his mouth down on mine and started to kiss me hard, I tried to push him away but couldn't. Finally he let me go and I ran back to camp. Great only Zuko was there.

"Where are the others?"

"Out shopping."

"This late?" he shrugged.

"Listen Katara..." don't Zuko. Please just don't." when I looked at him there was pain in his eyes. I got confused. It was him that didn't like me. Not vise versa. I started to walk away when he grabbed my arm and pinned me against one of the tent.

His hands on either side of my head. He bent his head and pressed his lips to mine. His tongue tracing my lips asking for entrance. I opened my mouth letting his tongue gently massage mine. Then he pulled away and smiled. I stood shocked for a moment. Then he bent down and whispered in my ear, "now do you believe that I care?" I looked at him and smiled. Yes I did believe him. I knew he wouldn't kiss me just for the hell of it. I leaned against him.

Glad to know that he liked me back. But how would we tell the others? I knew he was thinking the same thing. Sokka would not be happy at all. He didn't really trust Zuko. I touched my lips gently. They hurt, probably from Jet. When Zuko touched my arm I flinched. It hurt, he noticed.

"What's wrong?" he asked. I got nervous. I knew he would be beyond pissed if I told him about Jet.

"Um...nothing." I said, he glared at me. "Jet." his eyes flashed.

"Tell me everything." he said, his voice tight. I hesitated but told him.

"Well while I was walking Jet found me and he pinned me to a tree and kissed me really hard." he got tense. I could tell, just like I expected, he was furious. I was afraid of what he would do.

"Listen don't worry about it." I said. His eyes burned red.

"What? So now you're protecting him?" he said in a disgusted voice. I kept the hurt from my eyes.

"No. I'm not. I just don't want you getting hurt." he looked at me.

"You honestly think..."

"No, I know you wouldn't but I'm not willing to risk it either." I said, his eyes softened understanding that I cared for him and that's why I didn't want him to go.

"Alright I wont go but if he come's here I will fight him." I nodded. I would help him too. Just then the others came back. They looked shocked to see that we hadn't killed each other. We laughed. They stood shocked, Sokka didn't look happy but he would have to deal with it. Just as I went to walk away I saw Jet calmly walking into our camp. I saw Zuko, out of the corner of my eye, tense and come behind me.

"What are you doing here?" he snarled. I turned to face him putting my hand on his arm, restraining him a little bit, as much as I could. I didn't want him or anyone of them to fight. I turned back to Jet.

"What do you want? I'll do anything as long as you lave everyone alone." I said and he smirked.

"Follow me and you have a deal." so I did, telling the others not to follow and not to attack him. Though I knew they would follow a few minutes behind.
