Sigh Exams are torturing me! Luckily, the only exam we have tomorrow is Dutch. I'm not that bad at Dutch, it's easy, all we have to do is write an essay and make a few exercises. So that's why I'll be writing a drabble! (P.S.:For the ones following one of my other stories, update for each story will be sent it the 15th of December. Please understand that the time line is different here in Belgium, so it could be 14 or 16 December as well.)

Hmm… Okay, I have it!

Understand

'What's wrong, scarface? Lost your tongue?' Katara snarled at Zuko. Ignoring her offendings, he remained calm. Why on earth would he ever tire himself by arguing to that peasant? She wasn't worth it, she wasn't worth anything. Her so called insults didn't hurt him, it were only words. Words weren't worth anything either.

She firmly kicked against his shine-bone, making him moan in pain.

'Get up!' she yelled. Anger flowed through her veins, it seemed like blood was been replaced by every bit of irritation she could possibly feel. Everything he did irritated her: the way he just sat there, the way he ignored her, and especially the way how he belonged to the firenation. The firenation could only do bad things. She had NEVER heard a story about the firenation without a massacre, a murder or a tear. The firenation had killed her mother, Zuko was part of the firenation. For the moment, Zuko seemed to be the murderer.

'Fuck you!' she yelled. 'Why would I even care? You're too weak to attack me, to lazy! No wonder you belong to the firenation, you're just a part of all those assholes ruining other peoples lives! No one cares about you! Not even your own father, since he banished you!'

Zuko gasped and looked up at her. He glared at her and stood up, his fists trembling in anger as his body heat rose. Words weren't offending, but memories were.

He shot flames at her, while the anger inside of him grew stronger. It didn't stop him, it actually gave him an extra reason to fight with her, to cool his anger off. Using her seemed like the perfect opportunity, he could work anything out on her. She was too young and weak to defend herself anyway.

He teased on her first, by just shooting flames in front of her. She couldn't help to screech aloud when one of the flames hit her feet. Once she lost her balance, Zuko kicked her on the ground, giving her a nasty smile.

'You should bring your element the next time you'll challenge me!' he said. Katara glared at him and tried to push his foot off her, but he pinned her against the ground hardly. A screech escaped from her throat, while Zuko growled in anger.

'Give me one good reason to keep you alive!' Katara was having troubles with breathing, the rocks on the ground seemed to bore through her skin. But still she refused to show any kind of weakness to him, he would NOT see her weak side.

'Because you don't have a reason to kill me either!' she snarled. Zuko wanted to react on that, but the only thing coming out when he opened his mouth was a short gasp. He shut his mouth again and lowly took his foot off her. They stared at each other for a while, just staring. As if they wanted to read each others mind.

Suddenly, Katara made a water whip out of the water she carried in her flask. Zuko was the one being hit on the ground now, crushing on the hard rocks. Katara threw the water she had over him and turned it into ice, covering his entire body. Frozen against the ground, Zuko tried to free himself, while Katara looked down on him. He looked up at her, his eyes emotionless.

'Just kill me. Just end this all, I'm sick of it! I'm sick of everything in this world!' He saw Katara doubting, it made the frustration inside of him even worse.

'Do it!' he yelled. Katara bit on her lip. As she slowly pressed the ice on his body together, she could hear him moaning in pain. Everything on his body was squeezed together, slowly being crushed by the ice. Once she heard his screams, she could no longer take it. The ice scattered to pieces and Zuko was freed out of its firm grip. He breathed heavily, while his entire body trembled in pain and cold.

Katara squattered down next to him, slowly laying a hand on his cheek. Her other hand was pressed on his scar, making him open his eyes in a shock.

'I can't.' she said quietly. Zuko wanted to react on that again, but could not speak. He slowly closed his eyes again and fell unconscious, as if sleeping. Katara pulled him up a bit and held him tight, hiding her face in his neck.

She was wrong: Zuko wasn't part of that world. He wasn't part of any world anymore. He had gone through too much pain to be a part of the world she knew, he lived in his own world. She would never understand what was going on in his world, she could understand him. Understand and support him.

A slight smile appeared on Zuko's face when she whispered something in his ear.

'I understand you…'

Yeah, I know, this one was random. But it was really fun to write. I hope I can write a drabble each day of the exams, or maybe even update "at the other side", that would be awesome!-

(P.S.:REVIEW!:D)
