Sokka dragged a furious Katara back behind a rotting log. "Look, I'm sorry but the idea was to draw them away." He inspected his arm with a grimace. "It still stings. You couldn't have found any more water to get us out?"

"I'm sorry, the next time we're being burned alive, you can gather the water vapor and get us out."

"Sorry I asked."

"Don't change the subject. We're lost!"

"I may have overlooked a simple detail." Sokka said simply. Katara opened her mouth to berate him but Sokka interrupted. "Look, at least they didn't get Aang."

"Not yet." She muttered.

Sokka dragged his sister to her feet. "Yeah, well, let's keep it that way."

"Don't bother." Someone familiar told them darkly.

Without turning they both groaned. Sokka gave Katara a dark look as he fingered his machete. 'Do they ever go away?'

Katara shook her head, her hand on her water pouch. Slowly they turned to meet their enemy. Katara's hands left her water pouch and clamped over her mouth. Sokka made a choking noise. "Nice hair." She muttered.

Zuko glared at them. "Shut up, peasant!"

"I'm really curious as to how you planned this out." Sokka's brow furrowed in puzzlement. "Growing out your hair, wearing 'peasant' attire." Sokka gave his sister an incredulous look. "It's pure genius!" He ducked a fire blast.

"Tell me where he is!"

"Aang?" Sokka glanced at Katara. "We have no idea where he is." Zuko's eyes narrowed. "Well, we think he's getting cooked by a psychopathic firebender."

"What?"

"Does your sister ring a bell?" Sokka said sarcastically. "Anyway he's probably getting captured by Azula, right now." He paused significantly. "As we speak. As we stand here still talking-"

Katara caught on. "Wouldn't that be a pity? After all those years of searching for the Avatar and you lose him to your sister? Pitiful."

Zuko's eyes flashed. "You two." He snarled. "Are going to lead me back to your camp, or else-"

Katara sighed in defeat. "Oh, alright." The firebender looked taken back by this new compliant Katara. The waterbender turned to survey their surroundings. "Sokka, didn't we come this way?"

Sokka shrugged and followed.

Mai watched the three troop into off farther into the woods. So, Zuko was here too, was he? A small smile twitched to her lips as she plodded back to Azula. Well, this was definitely going to be interesting. She had to admit she felt pretty good about leaving Omashu.
