chapter 10....it all happens here.............

Katara looked around the market. There were food vendors, clothing shops, and even a cabbage merchant. She saw a fabric hut and ran over to it.

Zuko looked around. I turn my back for one minute, and she's gone, he thought. The Fire Lord looked around, many people bowed to him as he passed and he could see over their heads. Going into a store was a woman with brown hair.

Katara looked all around. She loved the blue fabrics that were there, but the reds were absolutely gorgeous. She took a red dress and went into the changing stall.

Zuko looked in the shop. No one was there. He walked out and made his way through the crowd.

"Katara!" he shouted, looking around.

Jet heard some one yell her name. He looked to is left and saw Zuko. He narrowed his eyes and started to take out his hooked swords, but he stopped. He looked to his right when he heard Katara's voice.

"It's perfect!" she squealed. She was wearing a red dress that reached her thighs. Under she had on a pair of black pants and some golden slippers. She had gold hoops in and her wrists were decorated in golden bracelets.

Katara was about to pay the man, when a hand reached around her and paid. She turned around to look at her fiancé, but was surprised to see who stared back.

"Katara" Zuko looked around, and spotted her. Who's that with her, he though.

Jet looked down at Katara; he smirked when she threw her arms around him, and whispered his name. He wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her back.

Katara let go of Jet, and looked at him. "I thought you were dead! It's so great to see you!"

"I know, everybody did, but I will tell you more when we get out of here." He grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the shop. She walked after him, in a daze.

Zuko looked at the two walking out of the shop. Where is he taking her, he thought. he followed them. They walked around the crowd and Zuko followed closer reaching out to Katara's hand.

Jet turned around and saw Zuko trying to grab Katara. He pulled her behind him and glared at the firebender.

"Jet" Zuko said, glaring right back, "where are you taking Katara?" His fiancé looked up from behind Jet.

"Zuko how do you know" she was cut off. Jet pushed her roughly aside and pulled out his twin hook swords.

"We finish this here" he said as he took a step towards Zuko.

"Give me back Katara and I won't hurt you!"

Katara looked from Zuko to Jet and back to Zuko. Jet was dangerous when he wanted something and someone got in his way. He almost killed Aang before.

She tried to get up, but her foot was caught under something, the wheel of the cabbage man's cart. She tried to pull it lose but it wouldn't budge. She would need help.

She flinched when a fireball went whizzing past her head. She tired to pull harder and only ended up with her foot getting out an inch. She looked up at the fight. Zuko was throwing fireball after fireball which Jet dodged and Jet slashed towards Zuko, but the Fire Lord was quicker, and dodged his opponent's attacks.

"Getting tired?" Jet mocked Zuko. The Fire Lord was on his knees and panting. He looked up and glared at the other man.

"No" he said jumping to his feet. He blasted a wall of fire that nicked Jets right sword. The metal grew red and Jet dropped the hook to the ground. The sword landed with a sizzle.

Katara pulled her leg through with one last tug and ran around to behind Zuko. She watched as the two men battled over her. She didn't want either hurt or dead.

"Stop fighting!" she yelled at both of them. They looked at her, "you are both acting like children and I really don't won't either of you hurt!"

Zuko turned around to speak with her, "Katara, this man is trying to take you from me! I won't let him!"

Jet took one final swing towards Zuko, when his back was turned, knocking him out.

"Sokka can deal with you later" he said to the firebender, while he reached for Katara's wrist and dragged her after him. She looked back at the place that Zuko laid. He was breathing but he was unconscious. The crowd swarmed around him, to take him to a healer.

Katara struggled against Jet, trying to pull her arm away. She dug her heals into the ground, to get him to stop moving.

Jet dragged the waterbender into an alley and shoved her against the wall. He pinned her wrists shoulder high and pushed his body against hers, so she couldn't wiggle anymore.

She glared up at him, while he smirked down at her.

"I didn't think this would go this easy" he whispered in her ear. She tried to move but his body stopped all movement.

"Jet, you don't know what's going on" she felt some tears escape her eyes.

Jet looked down and saw the tears, he leaned down and kissed them away before he brought his lips to hers and kissed her.

She gasped against his lips and tried to wiggle some more. She glared right into his brown eyes as he stared at her.

He pulled away when she bit his lip.

"I hoped it wouldn't come to this" he whispered into her ear as his hand went to her neck. He squeezed and she went limp against him.

He picked her up bridal style and made his way to the meeting place.

"Jet, you found her!" Sokka yelled when he saw the rebel make his way to them, his sister in his arms.

"Why is she unconscious?" Aang asked, as he ran up to Jet.

"Zuko and I got into a fight and when I won I took her. She passed out from all the overwhelming joy." He started towards the forest.

"Jet, we'll take her. I can call Appa."

"Yeah Jet, you got her for us, so we'll pay you" Sokka pulled out a bag from his back pocket.

"I don't want money, I have a different price."

Both looked at Jet with raised eyebrows.

Sokka realized what it was, "No you can't."

Aang looked between both of them, "he can't what."

"Sokka figured out my price. Now you two can run along."

"Sokka, I still don't get it" Aang said, raising an eyebrow.

"Katara, Katara is his price" Sokka glared at the rebel leader.

Aang looked at Jet, who nodded. He looked down, blinking back tears.

"I'm not going to let you."

"You're not going to get a chance" Jet whistled and Smellerbee jumped down from the tree above, knocking them both out. He walked back into the woods, his prize in his arms. He smirked to himself, his life was good.

dun dun duuuunnnnnnnnnnn.........what will happen?
