Zutara Week 2011 Theme 4: Secrets
"YOU DID NOT!"
"I SO DID!"
Katara had just got back to her apartment, dripping wet. Her roommate Suki was wondering what happened considering she had the biggest smile she ever seen. When Katara told her what happened, she naturally flipped out.
"YOU DID NOT KISS THE BLUE SPIRIT!"
"Yeah, I fine considering I was about to get mugged by the way."
"Sorry, but you seriously did kiss him?"
"Yup."
"OMG, Katara. How was it?"
She was taken aback. "It felt like all the energy in my body was being pulled toward my lips. It was amazing."
Suki was so giddy she looked like she was going to explode. "EEEEEEK! I gotta text Ty lee."
"Oh Suki." She groaned. "Can't it wait till tomorrow? I am like SO tired."
"NO WAY! You got to tell everyone!"
"YOU can. The only thing I 'gotta' do is sleep." Katara said with a yawn. "Try to keep it down, okay?"
"No promises." Suki said already texting on her cell phone.
Katara went to her room, changed into something dry, and crawled under her covers. The last thing she heard was "Ty lee? You get my message? Yes way! I KNOOOOW!" "What does my brother see in her?"
The next two days Katara searched for the Blue Spirit. She wanted to finally know who her rescuer really was, and she wanted to thank him again for saving her. On the evening of the second day, Katara was walking home after a full day of trying to find the Blue Spirit. When she was across the street from her apartment, something caught Katara's eye. Someone dressed in all black with a blue demonic mask on his face was standing on the roof of her apartment; the Blue Spirit. When Katara saw him making his way down the apartment wall and go through an open window, she gasped.
"Wait, that's MY apartment!" She ran toward her apartment, pushing through the crowd. Counting the windows across and up she found out something. "He lives right above me! You've gotto be kidding me!" She ran up the stairs as fast as she could. When she got to the room directly above her, she didn't stop. She ran into the door and it flew open. "AH-HA!" She yelled.
"WHOA!" A figure yelled as he fell over his bed. "WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU-" He yelled as he pulled himself up, but stopped when he saw who it was. They both stared at each other for a while until the man finally spoke. "Katara?"
"Zuko?" Zuko was Katara's old friend in high school, and still is. Zuko would always get in fights at school and got a huge scar on his left eye because of one. After the scar, Katara started to hang with him so he wouldn't be fighting in his free time. Zuko had a huge crush on Katara ever since then (but she didn't know that).
"What are you doing here?" He asked while walking up to her.
"I was…" She started, but she looked at his clothes. It was all black just like the Blue Spirit's. She looked over at his desk and saw a police scanner with a mask in front of it. A blue demon mask. Her eyes widened as it hit her. "OH MY GOD, YOU'RE THE BLUE-"
Zuko clamped both hands over her mouth. "SSSSSSSSSH!" He pulled her inside his room and shut the door. "I'll ask you again… What are you doing here?"
"I was following the Blue Spirit, er, I mean you, and I saw you dive in here. Why didn't you tell me? I thought we were friends."
"HELLOOOOOOO! Super hero rule number one: don't tell anyone."
Katara crossed her arms. "I thought girlfriends were the exception to that rule."
"You know how it goes…If my enemies found out about…girlfriend?" The word stopped him. He was blushing deeply, unbelieving that his crush since high school just call herself his girlfriend. "What? Katara you do know that puts you at great risk."
Katara gave him a wink. "I know, but I trust you enough to save me if that happens."
Zuko smiled at her. "You just love getting into trouble, don't you?"
"Only if you can get me out of it." She stepped towards Zuko till their faces were mere inches away from each other. "I want to thank you again for saving me."
Zuko saw it coming this time. He leaned over and kissed her first this time. They just got started when the radio went off. "Attention all units we have a 23-19 in progress over."
Zuko looked back at Katara. "Go get them tiger." With that he grabbed his mask and jumped out the window.
I know I rushed it but I'm still happy with it.
