Ooh! It gets In-ter-res-tang! Teehee! Enjoy!

The next day found Katara and Zuko waking up before everyone else. Katara made her way to the pouch of water that was lying to the side of the deep sleeping Appa, and she turned to walk out when she noticed Zuko getting up. She walked over to him, and quietly let out her first words of the day.

"Hey there, do you want to come with me to find some water?"

Zuko turned round quickly to see Katara with dark circles around her eye.

"Um, yeah but I was going to get the fire going"

"Please? I need some help bringing some food back"

"Fine then" Zuko said with a slight annoyance in his voice. They made their way out of the entrance and down the mountain.

­­­­­­­­­­

Aang opened his eyes slowly and saw blurred images of Katara and Zuko standing together talking. They then made their way out of the cave entance and down the side of the mountain. Aang got up and ran up to the entrance to see Zuko helping Katara down a steep part of the mountain. Aangs eyes widened slightly, where is Zuko taking Katara?

Toph was quite annoyed by the amount of vibrations Aang was giving off, considering he's an Airbender, and got up from her make-shift earth bed. Aang heard her rustling and quickly moved his head in her direction.

"What are you doing?" Toph asked in suspicion.

"I'm…er…not doing anything!" Aang quickly answered.

"Then why are you spying on Katara and Zuko?"

"I'm not spying! I'm just making sure they're safe"

"You mean making sure Katara's safe"

"Yeah but…I'm…Katara's"

"Don't you trust Zuko alone with Katara?"

"…Of course I do!"

"Then why are you spying on them?"

"…I just don't want him to hurt her"

"I very much doubt that he'll hurt her"

"How do you know that! He could easily hurt her with his firebending!"

"I know I'm blind, but I'm not stupid"

"What do you mean?"

"If you haven't notice yet Twinkle Toes, Zuko hasn't been his 'angsty' self lately"

"That could…be his decision to join the group…"

"Um hello! Zuko is obviously being a lot nicer with Katara"

"Yeah but he's also being nice with the rest of the group you know!"

"Grr! Get it in your head! Zuko likes Katara!"

"…What?"

"You heard me"

"…maybe Katara doesn't feel the same way…"

"Then why is she letting Zuko help her down the cliff?"

"Because…she could easily fall…"

"I give up with you sometimes" With that, Toph made her way over to her earth bed and lay back down on it, turning her body away from Aang.

This can't be, Katara can't like Zuko, he betrayed her in Ba Sing Se, she had trusted him, but he had abused it…but then he came back…

Aang turned back to look at Toph and gave her an angry look from behind. He turned back and followed Zuko and Katara down the cliff. They had almost reached the bottom when they looked back up at it. Aang quickly hid himself behind a bush and watched from his position. He could just make out the words they were saying even when he was no where near the ground yet.

"Wow that was quite high considering it doesn't look it from the cave itself."

Aang looked at them, repeating in his mind that nothing was going on.

"Thank you for helping me down"

"It's OK"

That's nothing, Aang thought to himself. He was busy think it was nothing when he noticed that she was walking with her head leaning on his shoulder. Aangs heart ached, how could she possibly love him? They barely knew each other…unless, no wait! They couldn't possibly have done anything in Ba Sing Se, not in the caves! They hate each other! I'm sure of it…

Aang followed them to a river when Zuko sat on the bank and Katara waterbended some water into the pouch she had brought with them. She sat down next to Zuko and put the pouch down next to her. She leaned her head against his arm and he put his arm around her waist. Aang watched as the two of them just sat there gazing into the water. Aang still couldn't bring himself to think that Toph had been right…they like each other…Katara doesn't like me—He realised that they had begun to walk in his direction. Panicking he hurried in another direction where he could just see them walk past from behind the trees. He had to think quickly… 'I know, I'll collect berries so that they won't know I've been checking on them…'

Aang came back to the smell of smoke coming from the cave. He hurried towards it thinking the worst, but just as he was about to come in to save everyone, he found out that he had nothing to fear. Sokka had made the same error when he had awoken due to Zuko's firebending and Sokka's annoyance, making the flames go out of control, but Zuko managed to calm them down before they burned everyone to a crisp. Aang ran over to Katara who was choking on some smoke still left in the cave and knelt down beside her.

"Are you OK?"

"Yes…cough...Aang"

"I was worried you had been burned"

"Aang I just said I was fine, Sokka was the one who had set Zuko off"

"Zuko might have hurt you"

"Aang don't be silly! Zuko would never hurt anyone"

Aang knelt there momentarily lost for words. Katara placed a hand on his shoulder and getting up spoke.

"Don't worry so much, I'm fine…really" With that she walked over to the fire leaving Aang kneeling there watching her walk towards the flames that could quite easily burn her.

Zuko was rubbing part of his hand where he had been burnt. He gasped and Katara came over with her water pouch and formed a glove around her hands hand wrapped them around his. Aang watched as Zuko's pained face turned into a smile looking at Katara who smiled back. She got up and walked towards Appa placing the water pouch next to him. Aang shuffled round and brought his knees up to his chest wrapping his arms around them and placing his head ontop. He looked up to see Toph near the entrance looking at his as if to say 'I told you so'

And there was chapter 11! Mwhahaha! cough Anyways yes please R+R and niceness is appreciated :)
