Zuko eyed the docks as the boat was being chained to the wooden dock. He looked up at the now darkening sky, she'll have to stay in my room, he grumbled in his mind as he watched the second fire nation ship port beside his own ship.

"Sir, general Feng will be arriving on the ship soon, my prince" the servant said in a bow as he looked up at the prince with a hint o fear in his voice.

"You may show him to his quarters when he arrives, he will be staying in the room the prisoner was recently in" the prince barked at the servant as he once again turned towards the docks.

"Where is the lady going to stay, your highness" the servant bravely questioned the prince.

"That is none of your concern now is it", he yelled at the now quivering servant boy, "Now go do what I ask, peasant" he spat as the boy ran off towards the dock.

"Now I have to deal with the water wench" he grumbled to himself as he walked to his chambers.

I should just put her in a cell, he thought to himself as he got closer and closer to his chambers.

---------------------

Katara awoke hearing the familiar hiss of the lock and the door being opened, and shut.

She groaned inwardly as she sat up. "What do you want" she spat at the prince standing mere feet away from her.

"We have reached port do you wish to walk out side or stay here" he asked letting her comment slide right by him.

Is he really this stupid, she thought to herself as she looked up at the prince like he was the stupidest thing on earth but he just smirked at this, not just any smirk an awfully evil one?

"you'll be with me and two other guards so don't try anything stupid" he said with the smirk still planted on his lips, "and this is out of the kindness of my heart" he said with an even bigger smirk as he saw her temper boiling.

Oh how he enjoyed to annoy and piss her off so damn much, it was entertaining to him to see her all worked up, very amusing.

"I have been blessed by an angel" she said in a mocking tone as she sat down on the plush chair in the corner of the room.

The room did have nice things and was highly furnished which was… nice.

"Well actually you kind of have" he said as he took a couple steps towards her and sat on the mat across from her.

"I wouldn't think to highly of yourself, hothead" she spat, and yes she called him hothead even though her asked her not to, she knew it got on his nerves witch made it all the more fun.

"Nor shall you, peasant" he said calmly as he sat up and walked to the large dresser beside the large mattress on the floor.

He began to lift his shirt over his head and when it was off he simply tossed it on the floor. He reached down and put a hand on his sash that kept his loose trousers on but was stopped by a shriek.

"What the hell do you think your doing" she yelled as she threw a pillow at his head, which hit him but not hard just making him quickly spin around to face her.

"Why? Has poor innocent Katara not seen a naked man before... aw to bad" he said in a mocking tome as he pulled the sash to his pants which quickly fell to the floor.

Before Katara could see anything she dove to the bedspread shielding her eyes from what she was about to see.

"uh men are all the same" she yelled into the blood red fabric as she heard the blood chilling laugh she had hearted so many times before, this was the only laugh she has ever heard. No happy laughs just a cold hearted evil laugh that he made.

Zuko turned around and walked into the metal bathroom where there was a porcelain tub looking thing sitting in the room with a fancy chamber pot in the corner.

----------------

Zuko felt the cool beads of water make little trails down his well toned chest and onto the floor as he stepped out of the tub.

"Ah a bath well needed" he said to himself as he grabbed a red towel out of a bin near the bath.

He tied the towel around his waist as he walked out of the bathroom releasing the hot steam from the room into his own room.

---------------------------

Katara heard the door open and looked to see a wet Zuko with -thank god- a towel around his waist.

She watched the white steam fill the room as he walked to his dresser but whipped around to her.

"Would you like to take a bath as well" he asked with a kind smile as she looked at him with awe.

"You will let me?" she asked with her had cocked to the side.

"You have been blessed by an angel" he joked as he saw her show a small smile as she hopped off the mat.

She walked into the bathroom and looked around as her eyes grew wide. "How the hell?" she whispered to herself.

She stood there staring at the giant tub with strange knobs and pulleys. In the southern water tribe they would just boil water and pour it into a metal basin and bathe, even with Aang and Sokka she only used streams and ponds. This was way different.

She stood there for a few more seconds in awe until she felt a firm had on her shoulder snapping her back to this world.

"Don't worry ill show you how" she heard a smooth voice say against her ear, his hot breath hitting her neck.

Katara whipped around, which was the wrong move.

Katara whipped around into Zuko, knocking them both to the ground, him in a towel and her in his white underclothes. She looked down at him and saw his small smile.

"Sorry" she whispered as she tried to lift herself off of the half naked prince but was stopped by a pair of strong hands on her shoulders.

He didn't know what made him do it, the male hormones from the small girl on top of his bare chest or the fact that she looked so beautiful… he always knew she was beautiful he just never admitted it, and for some reason, once in his life he wasn't angry at all. There was no rage inside of him for this one moment.

He kissed her. He pulled her upper body down and he brought his lips to meet hers. At first she didn't respond, but when Zuko put his arm on her back she couldn't help her self. She kissed him back.

When he put his tongue against her lips asking for an entrance she pulled away.

"I'm sorry I can't" she whispered as she slipped out of his grasp and stood up leaving the stunned prince on the ground. A soft blush still on her mocha colored cheeks.

Zuko just laid there. He had just kissed a peasant, and he had enjoyed it. He jumped up to his feet and walked over to Katara who still had a blush on her face.

He bent down to the tub and pulled a knob which made water pour out of the novel.
When the tub was full he plunged his hand into the cold water and in a matter of seconds the water was hot.

"Is that good enough" he asked her not the least bit embarrassed by what they just did.

"Yes thank you" she muttered as she avoided his golden eyes.

She watched him leave shutting the door behind him as she began removing her clothes and getting into the tub.

-------------------------

"Fuck" Sokka roared as he sat upon the leather saddle.

"Sokka what does that mean" the innocent tattooed boy asked as he sat on the giant beasts head with long leather reigns in his hands.

"Nothing" Sokka mumbled to the boy, Katara never let him swear in front of the younger boy but was she around… no.

"Don't worry Sokka she will take care of herself, its Katara she doesn't let anything happen to her" the boy said with a large grin on his face as he looked over to his older companion.

"I know I just hope she is okay" he replied truthfully as he leaned over the saddle looking at the ocean beneath him.

"She will be okay" he reassured himself as he watched for any firenation ships.

------------------------------------------------

"Ah, general Feng it has been a long time" iroh said as the man walked on deck.

The man was in his forty's and had large black sideburns under his short dark hair.
He had broad shoulders and stood strait and looked like royalty.

"General Iroh how is the quest with your nephew?" he asked with a smile as he hugged his friend.

"Ah, Zuko, he has come up with a new plan to capture the avatar" iroh told the general with a smile, "He has the avatar's best friend".

"I always knew he was smart" the general laughed, "I want to se him, se how he is doing" the general said to his old friend.

"Ah Zuko shall be quite happy to see you general Feng" iroh said to the man.
