Kai and Zuko were in his room, sitting on his bed. Zuko ran his fingertips up her forearm, leaving a trail of goosebumps. He brought his hand up and cupped her cheek, his thumb ran along her cheekbone. Kai felt the warmth from his hand spread throughout her whole face. Zuko leaned forward and pressed his lips onto hers. Their lips molded perfectly together. Zuko's lips shaped around her and she caressed his lower lip with her tongue. He let his lip part and our tongues fought for dominance. Zuko won, as if that wasn't expected. She slipped her hand under his shirt and rubbing his chest as Zuko grabbed her, pulling her onto his lap. He ran his fingers through her hair, kissing each other more passionately. They broke apart occasionally to catch a quick break. They were interrupted by a loud knock on the door and a jiggle of the door handle.

"Prince Zuko? The chef made noodles! Would you like some?!" Iroh shouted from the other side of the door.

Zuko let out an audible groan and pulled away from Kai. "I'm fine Uncle!"

"Are you sure? They're really good!"

Kai had to keep herself from bursting out into a fit of giggles from Zuko's reaction.

"I said I'm fine!" Zuko barked, fire spewing from his mouth.

Kai yelped in surprise and Zuko turned to her, face still scowling. Although it softened upon seeing her unpleasantly surprised expression. Zuko frowned and sighed.

"Why don't we go out onto the deck? Do some late night sparring?" Kai grinned gleefully. "I bet I'll beat you this time! I've been getting better!"

Zuko smiled as he pinned Kai to the ground. She could feel his warm breath on her cheek, his face just inches away.

Kai shot a playful glare at him despite her heart pounding in her chest. "How do you keep doing that?" Kai groaned, scowling. It was the third time he'd taken her down. "Are you cheating?"

Zuko smirked. "You've been practicing. And you're skills improved. But I'm still stronger."

She stared up at him. "I can change that!" Kai smiled. She thought for a moment, " ...How would you suggest I do that?"

He looked down at her through his dark lashes and spoke, his voice was low. "I've got a pretty good idea." He whispered. Then he brought his lips down on hers. As they kissed rain began to pour, but they payed it no mind. She wrapped her arms around him and pulled him down. The kiss was strong and passionate. She felt his warmth spread throughout her body as he pressed her down on the wet floor of the boat. All of a sudden, his lips left hers and she gasped in surprise. She'd forgotten to breathe. She laid back against the cold floor of the deck and breathed heavily.

"Kissing in the rain seems a bit cliche don't you think?" Kai said with a chuckle. "Plus what if someone saw?"

A blush rose to Zuko's face and he bit the inside of his cheek. "There's no one around." Kai placed a hand over her mouth as she began to cough. Zuko frowned and sat up, allowing her to prop herself up on one elbow.

"You're getting sick." Zuko spoke.

"Pfft. No I'm not it was just one cough."

Kai sat on the deck, staring out at the waves. The people around her stared at her worriedly as she began to cough violently. Someone walked up to her and offered her a cup of water. She looked up, expecting to see Iroh or Zuko, but it was Osu.

"Oh hey, I haven't seen you in a while." Kai said, gulping down her water. "Thank you."

Osu smiled and simply shrugged. "I heard that you and Zuko were a thing, so I made myself scarce."

Kai nodded. Her throat began to burn and she let out a few more coughs just in time for Zuko to walk onto the deck. He glanced at her worriedly. His eyes flicked between her and Osu who upon seeing the prince got up and hurried away. Zuko took a seat next to Kai, a frown on his face. She coughed lightly and his eyes flicked to her. He opened his mouth to speak, but when Kai placed her hand in his hand jerked away.

"Your hand is hot. Warmer than mine even." He turned to his uncle who was nearby. He walked over and kneeled in front of Kai. He brought a gentle hand up to her forehead and frowned.

"You're burning up." Iroh spoke, his voice serious.

"You need to go to bed," Zuko demanded.

"I'm all right!" Kai insisted, but as soon as the words left her mouth she began to cough violently.

Zuko stood and then Kai followed. "I don't need to go to bed, I'm fine." She protested.

Zuko's face grew angry. He slid his arms around her waist and slung her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

Kai began to kick and flail as she was taken to her room. "Zuko! Put me down I'm not sick!"

Kai shivered in her bed, coughing roughly, unable to fall asleep. A gentle knock on the door caused her to open her eyes. "Come in." She said in a weak voice. It was Iroh. He entered her room, a concerned look on his face.

"How are you feeling?" he asked, taking a seat on the edge of her bed.

Kai groaned. "Not too great." She coughed lightly, sinking under the covers.

"I made you some tea. It will help with your cough." Kai sat up weakly so she could drink the warm tea. She took a sip of the tea, allowing its warmth to spread through her body and coating itself in her throat, easing her cough.

"Thank you." Kai said.

Iroh smiled and stroked her long hair. "You're welcome. Can I get you anything else?"

Kai nodded. "Do you know where Zuko is?" she asked quietly.

Iroh smiled. "Yes, I will go get him for you." Kai watched as the old general got up and walked out of the room.

Kai sank back under the blankets and watched as the candle on her nightstand flickered weakly, hoping it won't go out. Her attention then shifted to the ceiling. She stared up at the metal ceiling, thinking. Thinking about the avatar and whether she's on the right side, Zuko and how much she likes him, and her parents and if they're watching over her. Then she heard a gentle knock on her door.

"Come in." She croaked, reaching for her tea. Zuko emerged from the other side of the door and a smile creeped onto her lips.

Zuko frowned as he saw his girlfriend's state. Her was messy, her eyes were red, and she was shivering violently. He walked across the room over to her and sat on the edge of her bed. She took a shaky sip of the tea Iroh brought her. "Hi."

"Hey," Zuko whispered back, smiling.

"If you do capture the avatar, what will you do next?"

Zuko thought for a moment. He leaned back and laid down next to her. "Take my place as heir to the throne. And have you as my queen."

Kai grinned. "You promise?"

Zuko nodded and Kai smiled. Zuko stared at her, he realized he enjoy looking at her. She was pretty even if she didn't think so. He stroked her hair and sat up. "I shouldn't keep you awake." He got up off the bed and started towards the door.

Kai bolted upright, a frown on her face. "Can't you stay?" she said, in a voice just over a whisper. Zuko blinked, not quite understanding. "Can you, uh...sleep here? With me." Kai just barely whispered. Zuko grinned. He stripped himself of his bulky armor and removed his shirt, crawling under the covers next to her. He stared straight up at the ceiling, laying on his back. However, he could feel a pair of eyes boring a hole into him. He turned his head to see Kai staring at him a pout on her face. Zuko smirked and brought her close to him, wrapping an arm around her while she rested her head on his chest

...

Kai stirred as the cold air touch her skin. She peered through her thick eyelashes and watched as Zuko got out of her bed. A small smile creeped onto her lips as she watched him stretch his arms.

Zuko looked back at his girlfriend. Carefully, he pulled the blankets over her shoulders. His eyes lingered for a moment before leaving the room.

...

Kai woke up about an hour or two later just in time to catch the tail end of Zuko's training. She sat on the ground of the deck watching as Zuko finished his training with Iroh. When the two finished

Kai clapped enthusiastically.

Iroh kneeled beside her with a smile. "Kai, how are you feeling?"

Zuko's eyes scanned her body for signs of sickness.

"I feel great!" Kai smiled. "My throat's still a bit sore though."

Once Zuko was convinced that Kai was fine he turned to her and smirked. "Your turn." He said.

Kai raised an eyebrow. "What my last beating wasn't enough?" She smiled to show she was joking. Zuko grabbed her by the arm and tugged her off the ground. Kai groane as Iroh took her seat on the ground, watching with interest. Kai took a waterbending stance and immediately Zuko objected.

"No bending." He demanded.

Kai's mouth hung open and she disappointedly detached her pouch from her waist and tossed it on the ground. "Fine."

Kai took a fighting stance and Zuko immediately went over to fix it. He took Kai's hand and molded it into a correct fist. "Make sure your knuckle's not jutting out." He made his way behind her, placing his hands on her body to fix her position. "Stand with both feet planted shoulder width apart, knees bent a little. Make a fist with both hands and bring both fists, fingers facing up, elbows pointing straight out behind you." Zuko glanced up at Kai's face. She was not listening at all. "Are you even listening!?" Zuko yelled. Kai shook her head bashfully and Zuko sighed.

"Aw come on! It's not fair, whenever we train I'm always wrong!" Kai argued. "It's unfair is what I think."

Steam shot from Zuko's ears. "How do you expect to improved if you won't train?!"

Kai sighed. "You know I think you should cool off." With her hand behind her back Kai created a ball of ocean water and threw it at Zuko. He was not pleased. He scowled at Kai and stormed off into his room as she and his uncle burst out into fits of laughter.

…

By the next night, Kai's fever has disappeared and her cough subsided. A waning moon in shining in the sky and Zuko's ship is docked. It's music night and Lieutenant Jee is playing a simple staccato tune on a stringed instrument. The tune is then accompanied by drums. Four men and one woman are gathered around a campfire on the main deck of the ship. Kai is sitting crosslegged as she sings.

"Winter, spring, summer and fall. Winter and spring, summer and fall. Four seasons, four loves. Four seasons, four loves." Kai sings. Two crewmen dance gleefully in front of the fire. But their joy is short lived. A group of masked Fire Nation soldiers board the ship. Admiral Zhao is among them. The music comes to an abrupt stop as everyone turns and sees the men.

...

Zuko a knock on his door and groaned. "I told you Uncle, I'm not playing the tsungi horn!" he snapped.

The door opened anyway, causing Zuko to jolt upright. Kai and Iroh stood in the doorway. "It's not that," Iroh explained. "We have another problem..."

Zhao pushed past the two of them and into Zuko's room, a smug look on his face.

Zuko immediately stood up into a defensive position. "Zhao." He growled.

The gruff admiral smirked. "I'm taking your crew," he said simply, circling the room.

"What?" Zuko snapped.

"It's true," Iroh wailed. He put an arm over his eyes in woe. "Even the cook."

"I need them for my invasion of the North Pole. Your father's orders." Zhao explained. A scowl formed on Zuko's face as the admiral spoke. "It's a shame you won't get to see me break the Water Tribe." Zhao smirked, turning to Kai. "Maybe I'll bring you little peasant girlfriend with me. She'd make a fine decoration"

Kai took a step forward to challenge Zhao, but she felt a hand holding her back. When she looked it was Iroh. He shook his head sternly and she retreated.

"Don't you dare touch her! Zuko roared. The temperature in the room rose sharply.

Zhou let out a low cackle. "How pathetic! You think she cares for you? How could anyone care for a poor, banished prince." Zhao spat. "Maybe I'll have her accompany me. Why would she want to stay with you after all?"

Kai could practically feel Zuko's blood boil. It took every inch of self control to keep herself from roundhouse kicking Zhao is the nuts.

Zuko's scowl fell as he realized that Zhao was standing right before his dual blades, looking at them with a suspicious glare. He took one off the wall and began swinging it around.

"I didn't know you were skilled with the broad swords Prince Zuko."

"I'm not." Zuko nearly growled. "Those are antiques. They're just for decoration."

"Mhm." Zhao mused, unconvinced. He turned to Iroh. "Have you ever heard of the Blue Spirit, General Iroh?"

"Just rumors. I don't think he really exists," Iroh shrugged.

"Oh, he exists." Zhao insisted. "And he's an enemy of the Fire Nation," Zhao handed the broadsword to Iroh. "But I have a feeling justice will soon catch up with him." Zhao started to the door of the cabin, but stopped abruptly. "General Iroh, the offer to join my mission still stands if you change your mind. And Kai, you're always welcome to join us." The admiral smirked as exited the cabin.

...

Kai sat on the main deck, way Hong as the crew wandered around. She took a sip of the tea Iroh has just brewed for her. She stared down at her cup and frowned as she wondered what would happen. It wasn't exactly possible for just the three of them to man this whole ship. They could take a smaller boat though that probably wouldn't be fast enough. Although they don't really have any other options. They can't exactly walk to the North Pole. She sighed as her thoughts flew about in her brain. She'd been to the North Pole once. Her mother had brought her there for a couple weeks to visit her old friend. Kai herself had made a friend there, although she doesn't remember very well. Something with a Y.

"Listen up!" Zhao's gruff voice interrupted her thoughts. "Everyone get your things and get yourselves onto my ship! You have ten minutes!"

Kai scowled at Zhao as he approached, a suggestive look on his face. "What." She spat.

Zhao kneeled down in front of her , placing a hand on the rail of the ship so as trap her. "And you, I have a proposition for you."

Kai's breath hitched and she gripped her cup. "Go to hell." She whispered harshly.

Zhao smiled and with his free hand manifested a small flame, holding it to her face. He let out a cackle as she flinched and dropped her empty cup of tea. However just as soon as it came, the flame was gone. "I would be so please if you would join me on my ship. It'd be so satisfying to have you there with me in my hour of triumph. I'll even let you share my room."

Kai pushed Zhao away from her, knocking him into the ground. She stood sharply and with her waterbending formed a sword shape and froze it, to make an ice sword. She stepped on his arm and held the sword up to his chin.

"Don't you dare lay a hand on me you worthless pig." She spat.

Iroh turned to see the compromising position Kai and the admiral were in. He quickly shuffled over and pulled Kai off of Zhao, resting a hand on top of the sword and slowly lowering. "Please excuse her behavior Admiral Zhao. We'll th take your offer into consideration."

Zhao got off the ground and smirked. "I sincerely hope you two accept. I would hate for your potential to go to waste here." He turned and made his way off the ship.

"You very well know that was not a wise move! Threatening an admiral of the Fire Nation?! He could have had you arrested!" Iroh shouted.

Kai frowned. "Then let him arrest me! I'm not sorry for what I did."

Iroh let out a sigh. "Sometimes you can act just like Prince Zuko." He said with a smile.

Kai smiled at Iroh comment. From behind her she heard sad voice say, "Hey." She turned around and saw Osu standing there awkwardly. Her smile fell when she was hit with realization Osu wouldn't be aboard anymore. She dropped her newly made Ice sword and threw arms around his neck, embracing him in a hug. He had to bend over to keep her feet just barely on the ground.

"I'll miss you. You were a good friend." Kai said. When she removed herself from his lean figure she was met with a pat on the head.

"I hope we'll meet again." Osu said with a sad smile.

"Me too."

As more of crew came up from below deck, each carrying a small satchel of their personal items. Kai felt sad, although she didn't know half their names she would miss their company. Her eyes began to water as she saw Lieutenant Jee leave. He stopped abruptly and gave her a weak smile, he made his way over to her and with a pat on the back and a side hug he said his goodbyes. Iroh said his goodbyes as well, giving each man a hug as they walked off the ship. When the last left, he walked over next to Kai.

"Would you like to go for a walk with me? It's a nice night." Iroh asked.

Kai nodded and with a shaky breath she said, "Yes please." Iroh squished her in a hug and sent her off the get satchels and canteens.

...

Iroh gave a gentle knock on the metal door to Zuko's room and opened it. Zuko sat on his bed, sulking about his lost crew and defeat to Zhao. "The crew wanted me to wish you safe travel."

"Good riddance to those traitors!" Zuko shouted.

"Kai and I are going for a little walk, it's a nice night would you like to join us?" Iroh asked.

Zuko said nothing and only continued to glare at the new victim of his anger, the ceiling. "Or just sit in your room and sulk, whatever makes you happy," he said, shutting the door quietly behind him.

Iroh met up with Kai who was waiting on the main deck with little satchels and canteens. She handed a canteen and satchel to Iroh with a smile on her two began to walk in silence, but it was short lived.

"Iroh, sometimes you remind me of my father." Kai said. "And sometimes I think you're much better." Kai smiled at Iroh who returned it.

"Thank you Kai. Sometimes you are like a daughter to me." Iroh said with a smile. "Which I guess is weird now that you are dating Zuko who is like a son to me." Kai chuckled at Iroh's comment. He grinned before continuing. "Your father was a good man. And your mother too. I didn't know them very well, but I knew they were good people." Iroh said.

"Thank you." Kai said bashfully. "I didn't-"

Kai was cut off by the rumble of the earth and the sound of an explosion. Kai and turned around to see the worst thing she could've seen; the deck of Zuko's ship engulfed in flames. First came the shock as she tries to process the events.

"Zuko..." She mumbles. Her vision is blurred by the tears threatening to fall. Another explosion went off, ripping the small metal ship open. Fear engulfed Kai and she began to race towards the boat, her legs nearly failing her. "Zuko!" She struggled to speak as her throat began to enclose. She cried for Zuko in a shrill rasp, tears violently rolling down her cheeks. "No, dear god no..." she whispered as she ran down the path. Her foot caught on a branch and she tripped, falling face first into dirt path. Her body pushed off the ground immediately, ignoring to cuts and bruises she now acquired. She reached the harbor and leaped into the ocean. Desperately swimming around looking for her prince.

"Zuko!" She cried out as hot tear rolled down her dirt stained face. Her words caught in her throat as she struggled to stay afloat. But there was no answer to her cries.

"Zuko! Please!"

No answer.

"Zuko..." She whispered.
