title: All I ever Wanted

Summary: Another Zutara thriller. Zuko has Katara, again. But this time, things are differents. Rated T to be safe. ZxK, AxT, Sx?. R&R!


A day passed. Camp without Katara was dull and tempermental.

"Watch where your going!" Sokka yelled angerly as the blind girl walked into him.

"I'm blind, remember, you idiot. Besides how was I supposed to know your fat butt was in front of me." Toph yelled back.

"You should've felt the vibrations through your stinky feet!" Sokka shot back.

"Who are you calling stinky, stinky?" Toph asked sharply.

"Guys, cut it out. We're all tired and grumpy. We need some rest. That's it. Rest." Aang settled the fight.

Sokka retreated to his sleeping bag and Toph enclosed herself in an earthtent. Aang sighed and laid down next to Appa. He missed Katara. If she was here, they wouldn't be fighting. He wondered if she was okay. What if she was hurt? What if Zuko hurt her? Or what if Zuko didn't have her at all and she was just lost? Aang rolled over, trying to block the thoughts from his head. please be safe Katara, he prayed silently.


Your Uncle has a good point you know.

Who are you?

Why I'm the inner Zuko. And as I was saying, Your Uncle has a good point. You'll never get the girl to help you if you treat her this way.

Oh...so...inner me, your saying I should be nicer to the waterbender peasant? And she'll help me find the avatar?

No, I'm saying that you should be nicer to Katara and that maybe she'll help you in more ways then one.

What? That makes no sense.

You'll see. You'll see. Give it time, and be nice to her.

Zuko awoke after the voice finished. He sat up, slightly confused. Dinner was soon, he could judge it form the smells coming from down the hall. Getting up, Zuko changed his clothes and thought about what the voice had said. It did make sense. If he could get to know this Katara girl and get her to trust him, then maybe he could get something about the avatar from her. Yes, he just had to get her to trust him. But how to do that...Oh,yeah. He just had to be nice. Nice, how was he supposed to be nice to this peasant? Zuko sighed. This mission of his might be harder than he thought.


Katara sat on her bed, thinking silently. The new man, Iroh, had been nice to her. Was it just a trap? Or was he really sweet? She rolled over, exhausted from everything that had happened when she heard a knock on her door. "Who is it?" She yelled out.

"Its Iroh. Iroh, from earlier." He responded from behind the door.

"Come in." Katara replied, sitting up. Iroh opened the door and walked in. A huge smile graced his old, wrinkled face. "I have a surprise for you, Miss Katara!" Iroh exclaimed joyfully.

"A...suprise?" Katara asked. A surprise? Was it her mother's necklace? Was Zuko letting her go? Or was it the bad surpise? Like, Zuko wanting to marry her or something? Ewww...

"Zuko said that you may accompany us to dinner!" Iroh hollered happily.

Katara faked a smile. Dinner? With Zuko? Uh-oh. She'd rather be thrown off the ship. At least she could swim. But Iroh seemed so happy and...er..excited?

"Really, Iroh, that isn't nessacary. I'm fine up here." Katara tried to explain. Iroh just shook his head and smiled.

"Nonsense. We're very excited to have you join us! I even brought up some clothes for you to put on and there's a bath right next door!" Iroh said, holding out a handful of robes.

Katara sighed and took the clothing. Maybe it wouldn't hurt. Food, a bath, and some time out of this cell. "I'll be back to come and get you soon!" Iroh said, speeding off.

He left the door open. Katara sighed again and walked next door. She opened the door and stepped inside. A large tub sat in the center, next to it was a small shelf that held many shampoos, oils, bubbles, and soaps. Katara locked the door and turned the water on. It was warm and flowed freely into the tub. A towel had already been laid out for her as she undressed. Katara stepped into the tub, letting her element caress every inch of the tan skin. She sank down and relax, feeling all of her muscles untense and all of her nerves carry off. She washed her hair with a scented shampoo that had the familiar smell of lavendar. She used another lavendar soap and oil. Once Katara finished, she stepped out of the tub and dried of. Walking towards the robes, she inspected them thoroughly. Instead of the crimson robes she had expected, Katara found a blue, long sleeved dress with another lighter blue dress that went over it. There were no sleeves on the lighter dress, so the underdress's sleaved flowed out gracefully. A sash the same color as the underdress tied around her waist and a pair of plain blue slippers showed only slightly form under the dress. Katara brushed her hair out and instead of putting it into a braid, she put it into a bun and let the two strands go back freely. She stepped back and looked at herself in the mirror. Everything looked perfect and beautiful. Smiling, Katara stepped out of the room to find Iroh waiting for her. He clapped. "Lovely, Miss Katara. Lovely."


Zuko stepped out of his room to see his Uncle and the waterbender conversing a little downways in the halls. He noticed the dress she was wearing. It looked...nice. Well, maybe a little more than nice. Zuko shook his head to clear it of the ridiculous thoughts. His Uncle had probably invited the peasant to dinner. Zuko returned to his room, he would skip dinner and have someone bring something up later. A faint knock was heard at the door.

"Zuko? Its time for dinner. Are you coming?" His Uncle called through the door.

Zuko unlocked it and pulled it back slightly. Katara stood next to Iroh, looking impatient. "No, I'm not." Zuko replied.

He shut the door and locked it, hearing a sigh from Iroh.

"Is he always like this?" Katara asked.

"Not always. But you must forgive him. He has had some difficulties in the past. Some that have caused him to take his mind off having dinner with pretty girls." Iroh said.

Zuko heard a giggle that caused him to growl and lay down, facedown in the pillow. Agni Kai,what did he do to deserve this?


Iroh took Katara down to the dining room where a table sat. It was set with nice plates and dishes and large trays of food that made Katara's stomach growl. Iroh politely pulled her chair out for her. She thanked him and sat down.

"So, Miss Katara, where are you from?" Iroh started.

"The Northern Water Tribe." She replied.

"That sounds lovely. And you are a water bender, correct?" Iroh asked.

"Yes, I am. You're a fire bender?" Katara questioned.

"Why, yes, I am." He said proudly.

"My mother was killed by a fire bender." Katara said solemnly.

"Oh..." Iroh quieted.

They finished their dinners in silence.


"Prince Zuko, I brought your dinner." Iroh stepped into the room, setting down a tray.

"Thank you, Uncle." Zuko replied, keeping his head down.

"You should really get to know that girl better, Zuko. You may find that you have some things in common." Iroh said.

"What?" Zuko lifted his head up, but his Uncle had already left. He sighed. What could he possibly have in common with a peasant girl?


For some reason, I feel like this chapter wasn't as good as the first couple. Review and tell me what you think. PLEASE REVIEW!!! I AM LETTING YOU CHOOSE WHO YOU WANT SOKKA TO BE WITH!!! And for your information, I have 242 hits. And that means about 242 people have veiwed my story. But, I have only five reviews. That means only 1 out of 48 people review my story. Now guys, I have a problem with that. All of you should review, unless you have mental problems or have no arms. Use your toes. Just review! I've written three chapters for you in two days, I'm being nice. So be nice to me and review!
