And I'm happy to announce that I have the next four chapters finished meaning quick updates and I will have a small 'commercial break' to preview the rest of the fic after two chapters so enjoy!
Kira hummed silently to herself as she wiped down a table. She could see Zuko quietly arguing with Iroh and she rolled her eyes in annoyance. Despite having her around Zuko was just as hotheaded as always. But she did appreciate him trying to find her.
According to Iroh he had been frantic in worry because he 'couldn't let a defenseless girl wander around when she needed protection'. It was really sweet, even though Zuko denied it. Iroh had told her in the utmost confidence that she wouldn't say anything.
Suddenly she felt someone tap her shoulder and tearing her eyes off of her two new companions she turned and found herself face to face with a young woman. Kira felt her heart stop as she recognized Jin and it took a lot of her will power to hold in the urge to scream shrilly in excitement.
Suddenly she caught sight of Jin's expressions to Zuko and instantly an unexpected twinge of…jealousy maybe? Shot through her. "Can I help you?" Kira asked her calmly, struggling to keep her cool.
Jin blushed, looking away "I know that you and the other server here seem pretty close and I was wondering if you two were going steady or if you were family or something" she stuttered.
Kira put a forced smile on her face "Well the thing is we're not steady but we met on our travels and are traveling together. He just couldn't stand to leave a helpless girl to fend for herself" Kira responded.
Jin sighed "So you like him?" she asked.
Kira laughed before turning to look at Zuko, a small devious grin growing on her face "I take it you want to go out with him?" she asked.
Jin nodded and Kira's smile grew wider "Well we could both go on a date with him…"
Line break
Kira snuck over in the shadows, watching Jin and Zuko like a hawk as they went by the fire light fountain. There wouldn't be any movements from Jin on her man! Besides…it was almost her turn. Part of hers and Jin's agreement was that she would drag him here and Kira would take over, effectively embarrassing Zuko.
Suddenly inspiration struck and she stepped into Jin's line of sight. Jin looked at her sadly before nodding, making an excuse to Zuko that she couldn't hear. Kira then smirked, stepping out of the shadows as Zuko looked in confusion at Jin's retreating back "Well, looks like it's my turn" she stated.
Startled Zuko whirled around to face her. She smirked clearing her throat. In annoyance Zuko groaned "Oh great, do not tell me your going to sing? The other night was fine because it helped me find you but please…not here" he begged.
Kira smirked "Yes I'm singing so get over it!" she said before jumping onto the edge of the fountain.
Yeah Yeah Yeah-ya Yeah-ya
Why do you look so familiar
I could swear that I
Have seen your face before
I think I like that you seem sincere
I think I'd like to get
To know you a little bit more
She winked at Zuko slyly. With a small groan he buried his head in his hands "Yeah I bet" he muttered under his breath. Kira ignored him.
I think there's something more
Life's worth living for
Zuko looked at her at this point as she began clapping to the tune and doing a small dance along the side, clearly enjoying herself.
Who knows what could happen
Do what you do
Just keep on laughing
One thing's true
There's always a brand new day
I'm gonna live today like it's my last day
Zuko perked an eyebrow "So you want me to continue the hunt and enjoy it? Or do you want me to laugh as I make tea?" he asked sarcastically. Kira sighed and kept singing, only a bit louder this time.
Yeah Yeah Yeah-ya Yeah-ya
How do you always have an opinion
And how do you always find
The best way to compromise
We don't need to have a reason
We don't need anything
We're just wasting time
At this she turned to him, pointing at him sternly while acting carefree. Zuko groaned "yeah this is a waste of time" he muttered, clearly unamused.
I think there's something more
Life's worth living for
Kira motioned to the sky, prolonging the word for and sending heavy mental hints to Zuko who was watching with an annoyed frown.
Who knows what could happen
Do what you do
Just keep on laughing
One thing's true
There's always a brand new day
Kira felt her hope surge as Zuko began to lightly tap his foot, looks like there was hope for him after all!
Who knows what could happen
Do what you do
Just keep on laughing
One thing's true
There's always a brand new day
I'm gonna live today like it's my last day
Kira jumped steadily off of the edge of the fountain to go in front of a startled Zuko. However he could never anticipated her next move of grabbing his hand and doing a very crazy dance. Of course it paid off by his small smile.
Find yourself
'Cause I can't find you
Be yourself
Who are you?
Find yourself
'Cause I can't find you
Be yourself
Who are you?
Kira stopped and began clapping her hands to the rhythm again and to her utter joy Zuko joined in as well with a laugh that reminded her of bells on Christmas morning.
Who knows what could happen
Do what you do
Just keep on laughing
One thing's true
There's always a brand new day
Quickly Kira continued singing as she led a laughing Zuko through the streets to their apartment as to make it home by the curfew Iroh had set up.
So you go and make it happen
Do your best
Just keep on laughing
one things new
There's always a brand new day
Kira looked at Zuko wide eyed as he bent down outside of their apartment, his lips meeting hers. With a surge of elation Kira tried desperately to sing quietly as they entered the apartment.
Who knows what could happen
Do what you do
Just keep on laughing
One thing's new
There's always a brand new day
I'm gonna live today like it's my last day
With a sigh Kira finished as they entered the apartment with Iroh waiting both teens had on blank expressions "How did it go?" Iroh asked warily.
Zuko stalked into his room, slamming the door shut. Kira winced, maybe her singing over did it. But to her relief Zuko opened the door a little ways and looked at Kira once more "It was one of the best nights of my life" he whispered before shutting the door gently.
Iroh looked at Kira in surprise who just grinned and shrugged before walking off into her room, trying to keep from dancing in circles.
