Took me awhile, but I FINALLY got this chapter out. Sorry it took so long, it would have been out this weekend, but it was the first College Football game this season and I just had to go...party...and have fun, you know, usual party school things. Anyways, there are two things I want to address. 1. TEB18 and I have a AdultFanFiction account that we have been posting some of our stories and a new story that is a little too 'racy' for this site. The account is 'SubjectEnergy18', so go ahead and check it out when you're done. 2. I've been getting PMs about someone stealing my ideas and stuff like that. It's been taken care of, I'm not going to rage at the dude or anything, it's not like I'm making money off this. If someone wants to steal my stuff, that just shows that that person is such a bad writer that they need to steal someone else's things. Enjoy the story:

She pulled out her ear buds after pausing her music since she had arrived at her destination. She was sent a text from Azula to meet her on the edge of town at the Abandoned Woods. Clearly the place needed a better name, but it wasn't really on her mind at the moment. Yue watched her step as she maneuvered through the ivy covered ground. A melodic whistle caught her attention, she followed the noise to see Azula, sitting on what was most likely an old chimney that had obviously seen better days since it was now on its side. She was casually filing her nails as Yue came into the open area of the woods. "It's good to see you had finally made it, I was completely sure that you would be busy not doing what you were told."

Yue's eyes narrowed, "You need to come up with better opening statements or the Devil might want to his title to rule Hell back."

"Your witty come backs aren't perfect either," Azula said as she hopped off the chimney. "Anyways, tonight is when the plan will commence."

"Why not another night? Tonight is going to be Zuko and Toph's first time together," Yue explained.

Azula gave her a crazed look, "Are you fucking mental or did I just hear you try to let your target 'have a good time' before we take care of her?" She approached Yue, looking her in her blue eyes, "You like this girl don't you? Are you two 'BFF's'? Are you going to start painting each other's nails?" Azula asked in a mocking tone. She hit her upside the head, making her wince, "You work for me, you do as I say and I say the plan is happening tonight."

The bronze skinned girl clenched her fists, "Why do you want to hurt her anyways? You could just humiliate her at school or maybe have her walk out of the locker room naked, we shouldn't have to hurt her."

Azula laughed, "You don't understand do you? I'm not going to hurt her, I'm going to kill her, torture her, maim her and break her. No one will be able to tell who she was by the time I'm through with her. I'm going to hang her lifeless body from the school so everyone can see her, embarrassing her is the least of her worries."

Yue stared at her in horror, "You're sick!"

She rolled her eyes, "Oh come on, I sent you away to Alaska so I could be popular, how can you not know I would do something like this? There has been a change in plans for tonight that I should probably mention." Azula snapped her fingers, Yue watched as a couple bigger teenagers came out from the trees. "These boys will be taking care of my problem while you keep my brother busy."

"How am I going to distract him while you take Toph?" She asked while the boys stood behind Azula.

Azula shrugged, "Suck his dick or something, I don't care. Come to the house around 4. Do not be late." She pointed a sharp nail against her soft skin. Yue reluctantly nodded and walked off. Azula smirked, "After we get the girl, kill the bitch, you can do whatever you want with the body, just make sure you don't let anything trace back to you two."


"I'm scared."

"Don't be a little girl."

"I AM a little girl!" She growled.

"Sokka, if she doesn't want to do it, then don't make her do it," Zuko told him from the other side of the pool. The Gang had decided to relax at Aang's house, which happened to not only have a pool, but a hot tub and sauna. Currently, Sokka was trying to help get Toph into the water and was having obvious trouble.

He sighed, "Why don't you do this? This is your girlfriend."

Zuko smiled, "But you're doing such a good job at it, I wouldn't want to interrupt this bonding moment between you two."

"Yeah, it was hilarious when he asked Toph if she wanted to be it in Marco Polo," Aang joked.

"What? I thought she would be pro at it." Toph punched him hard in the shoulder, before clutching to him again. "Ow! At least we know you wouldn't peek."

Her blind eyes narrowed, "Zuko, you better get me before I drown this idiot." Zuko sighed and made his way through the water to get Toph, who immediately clung onto him.

"Toph, this water barely comes up to your stomach," Zuko chuckled.

"I can still drown in it, can't I?" She seethed. "Now help me out you idiot."

Katara smirked, "Ah, every couple goes through the 'first time in the pool' fight, almost broke me and Aang up."

"Yeah, one of us couldn't decide whether we should be in matching swim suits or not," Aang and Katara both shared a laugh as Toph sarcastically laughed.

"Let's make fun of the blind girl who could possibly slip, knock her head against the ground and drown, yeah, laugh it up," The laughing stopped.

Zuko put his hands over Toph's trying to pry them off him, he saw the look of terror go over her face, "Relax, you know I would never put you in harm's way, just trust me." She was unsure for a couple seconds before loosening her grip. He put her hands around the back of his neck. "The only thing you need to worry about is your hands, just hold on." Her heart picked up as he undid her legs from his waist, she felt almost helpless, but she trusted Zuko. He started to move backwards, towards where he was before, bringing her along with him. Toph felt the water pass over her body, as if she was actually swimming. The smile on her face made him also smile, no matter how tough Toph tried to be recently, she was still a little kid at heart. Zuko felt the end of the pool his back and Toph float into him. "See how easy that was?" He whispered before kissing her soft lips. His arms went around her waist, pulling her body to his.

Katara dipped her legs in the pool, "Sokka, where is Yue?"

He looked around, "I thought she was here."

"Now I know why Ty Lee got a girlfriend instead of you," Aang shook his head at his friend. Sokka's face dropped while Katara nudged him, "What? Oh, I'm sorry, is it too soon since Sokka jumped into bed with another girl not even 24 hours after the break up?"

"He's got a point," Zuko added, "I say it's fair game."

"Yeah Meathead, don't be a little girl," Toph joked, making everyone laugh.

He scowled, "Why am I always the butt of everyone's joke?"

"Because you're an ass," The gang once again laughed.

The gate to Aang's backyard opened and Yue came through, shutting it behind her. She was dressed only in her blue bikini, which Sokka gave her a whistle. Yue smiled and rolled her eyes, "Oh stop it."

"Yes, please do," Aang muttered. Once Yue got into the pool, Sokka met her with a kiss. "So Yue, where were you?"

Though it was a perfectly innocent question, Yue still froze, wondering if Aang knew anything, "Why do you ask?"

He shrugged, "I don't know…I was just striking up conversation, sorry if you don't want to talk about it…"

"Sorry, I'm just dealing with a couple things while being back," She lied. Katara glared at Yue, knowing something was up. "So what's the plan for tonight?"

"I don't know about you guys, but I'm getting laid," Toph proudly announced.

"I still think you're too early in your relationship," Katara commented.

Toph turned in the direction of Katara's voice, "You have no say in my relationship, especially after that trick you pulled on me last night. If I have any questions, I'll stick with Yue, she's actually cool." Katara surprisingly saw Yue freeze at the statement, her curiosity spiked. "Right Yue?"

She nervously smiled, thinking about what was going to happen tonight, "Uh yeah, of course, just don't be expecting me to explain things in graphic detail." The guys and Toph laughed as Katara continued to watch her friend.

Sokka's arm went tighter around her waist, "How about you and me go out on a date? A real date, instead of the one we had when we were younger, with your Dad like 10 feet away from us."

Katara saw Yue about to protest, "Yeah Yue, it could be a double date, it would be fun." Both girls kept eye contact, Katara sending a message that she knew that something was up and Yue unsure of Katara's intention at the moment. "It would be good to…get to know you since you've been away. It's almost as if you're a stranger again, you're like a new Yue."

"But still the beautiful and smart girl that loves me," Sokka kissed his girlfriend's temple; the girls still had their eyes locked on each other's. Zuko could feel the tension between the two girls.

"Okay," Zuko interrupted, "I think Toph and I are going go to the sauna."

"Dude, that's not how it goes. It goes Pool," Sokka began to count off on his fingers, "Hot tub, THEN sauna."

Zuko held onto Toph's waist as they went through the water, "Well, we don't have time to do all three today Sokka, we have some plans to take care of."

"What do you really need to plan? It only took-" Yue slammed her hand down over his mouth.

"You're not telling them anything about last night Sokka," She warned, "If you do, last night is never happening again." Zuko just shook his head and chuckled at Sokka as he carried Toph towards Aang's sauna.

"Okay," Sokka put his hands up in false surrender, "But we should hit the hot tub now."

"Sounds good," Aang said as he pulled himself out of the water and helped Katara out. "We should get some drinks though, Sokka will you help me?"

"Sure man," They both went inside as Katara looked at Yue. She swallowed the lump in her throat as she saw Katara's death glare she had become familiar with when they were kids. The glare only meant 2 things: 1. Katara knew something was up and 2. She wasn't going to stop until she knew what it was.


Zuko shut the door to the sauna and sat down next to Toph who was stretched out on the bench, her head now resting in his lap. His fingers ran through her damp hair as the steam filled the small room. "So, you promise that tonight is going to be the night?" She asked.

He rolled his eyes, "You really are never going to let this go are you?"

"You said that we would do it tonight because of what Sweetness did last night," Toph argued, "Don't go back on what you said Sparky."

"Relax, I bought a pack of condoms after I dropped you off at Katara's house. We'll be at my house and everything will go how you want it to," He told her.

Her brow furrowed, "Why do you sound like you don't want to do this? You sound like the girl in this situation Zuko, it's not as sexy as you think."

"I want to have sex with you, but you are so pushy, do you know that?" He laughed softly, pulling her into his lap, her left shoulder was against his chest and her head in his neck. "Toph, I want you to know, that no matter what, I love you. I love the fact that when I met you, you were so different, but now you are so tough. I love that I can hold you like this, I don't know how I would feel about having a bigger girlfriend." He saw the smile appear on her face, "I hope you do realize that what is going to happen tonight means a lot to me and it's going to be more than sex to me."

Toph found his lips and kissed him deeply, "It means a lot more than sex to me too, that's why I want this."

"I hope I'm not interrupting anything," Toph yelped as Mai entered the sauna. He kept Toph on his lap, not wanting to 'point' at Mai. She shut the door behind her and sat down on the other side, "I am interrupting aren't I?"

Zuko gave her a small smile, "Kind of."

She leaned back, "Sorry, but I don't want to be out there right now. Katara has been talking about setting me up with Jet, something about being set up with someone doesn't really appeal to me. Plus, she has this weird look on her face right now, like she's staring deep into your soul…and trying to crush it…I want to learn that."

"Oh, don't worry, when we were dating, you had that look down perfectly. Even Toph gets that look sometimes," Zuko joked. "But half of the time, it's at a wall." A smile found its way onto Mai's face as Toph elbowed him. "So do you have anyone else in mind for a boyfriend or something?"

Mai shrugged, "It's not really like I'm looking for someone, I don't have to be in a relationship to be happy. You've known me long enough to know that."

"I don't know, there's nothing like getting stuffed to bring a smile to your face," Toph grinned. Mai's eyes widened at the statement as Zuko hid his face in her hair.

"So you and Toph finally did the deed huh?" Mai mused.

Zuko shook his head, "No, she's wanted to have sex. We were going to last night, but Katara gave her a fake condom."

"That's never stopped you before Zuko, we rarely used a condom." Zuko could see Toph's eye twitch, knowing that was possibly one of the worst things Mai could have brought up. "I swear we could have gotten pregnant." Scratch the first part, that was the worst thing Mai could have said. His grip on Toph tightened around her, making sure Toph couldn't either smack the living shit out of his ex-girlfriend or storm out without him being able to explain. But then the weirdest thing happened, Toph chuckled.

"So that's why you want to use a condom so bad, huh?" Toph smirked, "How many pregnancy scares did you two have?"

Mai again smiled softly at the thought, "About two times. The second one ended our relationship. Plus our whole relationship was just us hating everything, having meaningless sex and frequent fights. I think this is the first time I've seen Zuko happy in a relationship or even not wear a shirt at all times. The scar is looking good by the way."

"Compared to other guys, how big is Zuko? Like a big size or average?" Toph asked. Zuko hit his head against the wooden wall as his ex-girlfriend and his new girlfriend got along a little too well.


Yue focused on her hands through the bubbling water, though her body should be feeling the effects of the hot water, Katara's cold stare froze her. The jets from the hot tub were the only thing that kept them from complete silence. It seemed to take the boys a lot longer than she thought with the drinks, she didn't know how much longer she could take Katara's stare. "I know you're up to something Yue…you're no longer the same."

"You haven't known me for years," Yue replied, "My personality is bound to change Katara, just like you changed. You're now dating Aang and I do different things."

Katara tapped her fingers against her arm, "Where were you earlier?"

Yue's gaze went up from her hands, blue meeting blue. Katara's icy stare sent more chills into her body. "I had to take care of some things…"

"You were never a good liar Yue," Katara's eyes narrowed, "Where. Were. You."

Sokka came out with a tray of drinks with Aang, Suki and Ty Lee in tow, "Sorry it took so long, Suki and Ty Lee just got here, then we couldn't decide on what drinks to bring out, if we should or shouldn't have snacks…the choices were endless."

Suki just shook her head, "You've been here enough to know the choices we have you idiot. By the way, I let Mai in also." She and Ty Lee slipped into the hot tub on an unoccupied side. Suki looked between Katara and Yue, knowing something had just gone down. "Is there something we should know?" Suki asked, treading lightly.

Katara continued to stare at Yue, "I don't know Yue, is there anything we should be aware of?"

"No…there is nothing anyone should be aware of," She told her. Ty Lee and Suki looked at both girls, neither of them took an eye off the other.

Ty Lee leaned over to Suki, "This is really awkward, I don't think I can handle this."

"It's better than our conversation about how you like-" Ty Lee put a hand over her new girlfriend's mouth.

"Never mind, I'm fine with awkward."


Toph played with the Fire Emblem hanging around her neck as Zuko drove them to his house. After hours of constant torture of her and Mai swapping stories about Zuko, he finally decided it was time for them to leave. He grabbed his iPod and started flipping through songs. "No," He said as he changed the song, "Nope. No. No. No way. No." She smiled as he continued to change the songs while making a small comment. He finally stopped on a song, "I love this song."

Her brow furrowed, "What is this song?"

"Blinded In Chains, it reminds me of you."

"You dick," She hit him in the arm, but not hard enough for it to really affect him. Toph listened to the song, ignoring the parts where Zuko would start singing. But one part of the lyrics caught her attention. At the end of the song Zuko sang: 'Just live your life blind like me'. "What does that mean?"

"What?"

"Just live your life blind like me, what is that supposed to mean?" Toph asked.

Zuko shrugged, "Well I guess it's saying to be blind to the War and Murder that is happening."

"Take it from personal experience, being blind isn't that fun." Toph mumbled.

He took her hand, "It's not saying that it is fun, trust me Toph, there are some things in this world you don't want to see. Watching someone die in front of your eyes can scar you for life, War can be very ugly. Sometimes…I wish I was blind, this world is a messed up place."

"Is it really that bad?"

"It's bad," Zuko assured her as they pulled up to his house. "Anyways, we're here. Are you really ready for this?"

She smirked, "I was ready a long time ago."

Azula tapped her foot impatiently as she watched her brother get out of the car through her window, her phone in her hand waiting for an answer. "Hello?" The voice finally came over the phone.

"It's 20 after 4 and you're still not here and they are, do I have to connect the dots?" Azula rhetorically asked. "Get your ass over here now."

"Right away." She hung up the phone and watched the blind girl take her brother's hand with an evil smile on her face.


Zuko lit a couple incense, giving the room more of a romantic feeling. He would have lit candles instead for Toph, but he realized how pointless that would be. Zuko double checked everything: The bed was made, mood music was set up by the bed, his parents were out of town for the weekend and he had kicked Azula out a half hour ago. Everything seemed to be perfect. "Sparky," Toph's small voice came from the bathroom. He did one last check on everything before going to the bathroom. She was in the bath, the water had drained from the tub and she was hugging her knees to her chest. "You want to help a girl out?"

He smiled, "Stand up." Zuko grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her, then picked her up bridal style. "I'm sorry you had to bathe alone."

"I do it all the time, plus you know I would have jumped you if you were in there with me." They shared a small kiss as he carried her into his room, laying her back on the bed. Zuko grabbed her necklace from the side of the bed and put it around her neck. Before he could get away, she pulled him over her, "Where do you think you're going?"

Zuko kissed her softly, "There are some things I need to check on before we have our night, I want to make sure no one is going to interrupt us."

Toph sniffed the air, "What is that?"

"Incense, I thought it would set the mood better than candles," Zuko told her. "Too much?"

She smiled, "So now you're going to take this seriously?"

He shrugged, "I might as well." Zuko kissed her again, her arms went around his neck as she deepened the kiss. They separated when the doorbell rang. "How am I not surprised? Put on some clothes just in case." She growled lightly as he tossed her a jacket by his door. He went down the steps quickly and swung the door open to Yue. His brow furrowed, "Yue? Why are you here?"

Yue stood in front of him nervously, "I need to talk to you about something, it won't take long, I swear." Zuko sighed and moved out of the way, letting her in. He shut the door and followed her as she walked into his dark living room. She spun around to look at him, "Zuko, I need to confess something…"

"I don't mean to be rude, but I do have some things going on right now…like…my girlfriend that wants to have sex with me," He decided not to beat around the bush anymore.

Yue nodded, "I know, but this is about you and Toph. I haven't been entirely honest with you since I have gotten back." She nervously let out a breath, her eyes went to the floor, then back up to him. "I like you…"

His eyes narrowed at her, but something caught his eye behind her. A shadow passed outside the window. "Stay here, do not leave this house." Zuko went over to the stairs, "Toph, stay up there, I'll be right back." He called.

"What's going on?" Yue asked as Zuko opened the door. He didn't answer as he went towards the window he saw the shadow. Zuko stayed as quiet as possible as he pressed his back up against the side of the house and inched his way to the edge of the house. Barely peeking out around the corner, Zuko saw no one. Before he decided that it was nothing, he heard a branch snap in the backyard. He picked up a weeding tool his Mom had left out and stealthily made his way to the back of the house. Again, he found nothing. He made a full trip around the house before deciding it was nothing, but a scream made his heart stop. Zuko ran into the house, his first priority was Toph. He made giant strides up the stairs into his room, then everything went black.


Everything was fuzzy when he awoke. Adrenaline started to pump through his veins again when he remembered what was happening. Though the other parts of his body didn't seem to be responding, he tried pushing his body up off his ground. He saw that Toph was nowhere to be found in his room. Zuko finally got onto his wobbly legs and went down the hall. He caught himself on the railing and tried to hold himself up. Another scream sounded through the house and Zuko went down the stairs. A big guy had a hold on Yue who was struggling to get free. He grunted as he through his overdrive and shoulder tackled the guy. "Zuko, Thank God," Yue cried. Zuko grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her into a nearby closet and shut the door. He placed a hand over her mouth as several more footsteps sounded through the house.

"Where is she?" Someone growled.

"I don't know, some guy just took me out," The other said.

"Great, we were promised that we could use that one. I was looking forward to fucking her," Zuko heard the new thug punch the one that had Yue. "Did you see where she went?"

"No, I was a little busy getting taken out."

The new thug sighed, "Fine, the boss will take care of that loose end. We have the blind girl, we might as well get out of here." Zuko's anger rose and was about to go out there and take care of them, but Yue covered the door handle.

She pulled his hand down past her mouth, "You have no chance against them, they'll kill you Zuko." She whispered.

They heard the two men leave and shut the door, Zuko's arm now went around Yue's neck. "You know them don't you…" She struggled for a minute before nodding. "Tell me where my girlfriend is before I splatter your pretty little face on the ground."

Not really the best ending, but hey, it gets the point across.
