'Are you happy know Zuko' Kai snarled, walking into the arena the next day.
'What are you on about?' Zuko laughed, with a sly little grin on his face.
'You got the one thing I can never have' Kai shouted, his fists clenched.
'Ha-ha is this what it's all about.' Zuko said turning away.
'Zuko, don't turn your back on me.'
'What, you are just angry that I have the one thing you will never ever get' Zuko spat, as he walked out of the arena.
'God I hate him' Kai hissed as he went to find Lien.
Lien was sat in the imperial rose gardens; she felt so at peace in this beautiful place, all the roses were in bloom, glistening with dew. Lien lay back and shut her eyes, two faces popped up in her head, the face of Zuko and the face of Kai, the two boys she loves. She kept telling herself that she didn't feel anything for Kai anymore, but she couldn't help but blush whenever he looked in her direction, 'Just forget about him.' Her head screamed but her heart screamed 'Don't give up on him.'
'Lien' Kai whispered, bringing Lien out of her thoughts.
'Oh hi Kai' Lien said not daring to look him in the eye; if she did she knew she would melt under the gaze of there golden colour.
'Do you have a minute?'
'Ummm yeah sure.'
'I need too talk to you.'
'Ok.' She said sitting up.
He sat down next to her, and picked up her hand 'Lien I like you a lot' he said lovingly, gazing into her eyes.
'Kai I..I' She couldn't say the words, when ever she tried to reply Zuko's face would keep appearing in her mind.
'What Lien' Kai said stroking her hand.
'Kai, I love Zuko' Lien said as she pulled her hand away.
'Lien we both know that's a lie.'
'Kai you don't know what's going on in my head.' She whispered as she stood up.
'Lien'
'Kai no, just let me go.' She said, running out of the imperial gardens with tears streaming down her face, as she felt her heart break.
'Kai is just jealous cause I have Lien and she loves me' Zuko's head screamed, as he paced the floor in his room. 'Do I love her?' Zuko said sitting down on his bed with his head in his hands. 'No you don't, you want to get back at Kai' his head screamed but his heart said another thing 'You love her.'
'I love her.' Zuko said with a grin upon his face as he stood up to open the door.
Lien stood outside Zuko's door, about to knock when Zuko suddenly appeared right in front of her.
'Lien, umm hi.' Zuko whispered, as his cheeks turned red.
'Ummm, I came to see if you were alright.' She said faking a smile.
Zuko looked closely at her face, he could see faint tear lines running down her face. 'Lien are you alright?' Zuko said leading her into his room.
'I'm fine.' She said whispering as she stared at the floor.
Zuko lifted her chin up and gave her a gentle kiss.
'Lien, I love you.' He said as they sat down on his bed.
'Zuko, you don't mean it.' She said, averting her gaze from his face.
'Lien, I mean it.' He said gently turning her face towards him.
'Zuko, love is such a strong word.' Lien stuttered, not knowing what to say next.
'Are you saying you don't feel the same way' Zuko said letting go of her hand as he got up to go sit at his desk.
'Zuko I don't know.' She finally managed to say, as a fresh set of tears ran down her face.
'Just go.' he muttered, slumping over his desk resting his head in his arms, with his eyes shut, trying to stop the falling tears from escaping his eyes.
'Zuko I'
'Just go!' He shouted, the tears started falling when he heard her walk across the room and slam the door shut. The tears kept falling and there was nothing he could do to stop them.
