Alright people I have here another one of my chapters and I already have four already done and in need of inspection so they won't be up for a while until my friends at my school read them and approve they are good. Another thing is that I think I will be changing this story to T rating because I don't really think nothing M rated is going to happen until way later or maybe in a squeal but this story right now is far from over I will tell you that. I also want to say that I have found three pictures that can represent my character's (Li) appearance and that you can finally picture her better. You just have to go onto my profile and click the website to the three pictures that are labeled under the words in my profile Pictures of MY CHARACTERS. I'm still looking for a picture of Shen and Blaze so you can be sure I'll find one soon. Oh by the way the picture is not mine it belongs to a whole other show called Dragons Fire and Ice or the other movie Dragons Metal Ages.
So there you go you can enjoy this chapter until the other happenings later on. BY THE WAY PLEASE REVIEW and NO FLAMES.
Disclaimer-I do not own Avatar although I wish I did but I do own Li and any other character I've made up.

Zuko and Li walked aboard deck and found a shadow cast over the ground. When they looked up they saw Zhao's ship and Li almost dropped her mouth. He must have been promoted then because his ship was never this big. She turned around and found Sokka at the doorway looking at her. When she looked around for Zuko, she found him instantly because they were both shoulder to shoulder. On Zhao's ship and Zuko's ship there was a plank being set and people were just coming toward the plank over on Zhao's ship. Li noticed Zhao was a lot more close to the plank then he should be, but she knew he would never fall as much as she would wish it, because he had to good of balance. When the plank was set, Zhao began to walk down it with several soldiers holding some thing. That was odd he never makes his soldiers carry things unless it was important. Li got a better look and noticed that it was a golden box. That was odd, very odd. She wondered what was in it.
"What do you want Zhao," Zuko asked as he watched Zhao's gaze go behind him to the boy.
"I see that you still let your prisoners run around like they were like us," Zhao said.
"He's not a prisoner father he is my friend, one that is very loyal, but I guess you will never understand that," Li said looking at him.
"Well I see you are still very well outspoken just as well as Zuko, my daughter. A trait your mother possessed, something I found in her that was very alluring other than her beauty," Zhao said looking at Li.
"Whatever, why do you owe us such an unpleasant visit father," Li said.
"Well if I must remind you before it happens. You will be royalty soon do to your royal blood of an Amazon. The Fire Lord now knows this and sends his congratulations and gifts from him and nobles," Zhao said stepping aside so every one of Zuko's shipmates noticed the golden box. Some of the soldiers were still in shock because of her being royalty and even more an Amazon apart of the hidden city of women. All this time a woman that people just thought was a mix blood blessed with power was actually part of an Amazon family even more royalty
"What has he given me that I haven't had already," Li said in annoying manner like she already was wealthy.
"Something you won't find in the Amazons or any other place other than the Fire Nation crafted by the YuYan archers. The Fire Bow something you have hungered to have every since you were a small child," Zhao said with a smirk as he snapped his fingers and the soldiers opened the golden box to reveal a pure golden bow with a magnificent design on it. The design consisted of her name on it in Chinese letters and roses with vines created around it.
"It was made especially for you, when you shoot it you only whisper the name of your victim and were it should hit and shoot it. Then it will never end until it hit's that target, unless it is stopped by the shooters fire or words," Zhao said while smirking down at it.
"The Fire Lord is gracious but maybe to much," Li said while she crossed her arms and smirked at her father, thinking of how she could use it to hit him.
"Why don't you give it a try maybe you will think other wise of the Fire Lord after you see what it really can do," he said picking it up and handing it to her.
"Where are the arrows," Li said.
"Oh there are none you use your own fire, and by the way you can shoot any direction and it will find the target you ask it to find," Li was amazed she didn't know it would do that.
She started to pull the string and instantly fire erupted and created an arrow. She thought closely to what she wanted to hit and smiled when she found two targets. She was going to teach both boys some manners on how to treat a woman. She pulled the string father and another fire arrow erupted out of thin air. She whispered the target, " Hit Sokka's and Prince Zuko's asses." She let go in a complete different direction toward the sky but it immediately zoomed back down to earth and right toward Zuko's and Sokka's butts who caught fire as soon as the fire arrow hit.
"Awwww," Zuko and Sokka's screams of amazement and fear rang through out the air. The soldiers of both ships laughed so hard it looked almost like they were about to go insane. Zhao was even laughing at this. Li quickly bended water out of the ocean and threw it on them drenching them. Zuko and Sokka both were scowling at Li.
"Hey I couldn't help it, you both needed to learn a lesson," Li said smiling at them.
"I think they sure have," Zhao said cracking a smile but yet it still looked like a smirk.
"Well the other presents will come tonight," Zhao said.
"Why tonight," Zuko said with his hands across his chest now.
"Well we are having a party on my ship for Li, unless you rather it be on your ship. I simply thought it would be nice to have it on my ship because it is much bigger Prince Zuko," Zhao said with the cocky tone of voice.
"I'd rather it be on my ship," Zuko said in an irritated voice.
"All right so do you want my men and yours to help set it up then," Zhao asked smirking at him which sent chills down Zuko's spine. He had always hated this man ever since he was a child.
"Fine you can set it up, when all of us have cleared the space," Zuko said walking away. Li looked at her father and thanked him for coming but not really meaning it. She walked away with Sokka right at her heels. As Sokka was turned around you could see where the fire had burnt his clothes and he had his underwear showing, almost all the soldiers were cracking up with laughter. Li didn't care what Sokka looked like as long as they got through the ships door and the moment they did Li burst with insults for her father. Some in languages that Sokka didn't understand but Zuko did because the way he was smiling Sokka could tell he liked them.
"That full out, monkey face, bug eyed, asswhole of a father of mine is the utmost worthless admiral and father I have every seen Zuko. He loves making a big entrance and he dose just that today. He likes making little events into big ones that don't even matter and he did that just today. I swear if he ever died in this war by the earth or water nations, I'd be the happiest woman alive. For heavens sake I'd even go to ever warrior in each nation and say that they are doing a great job," Li said while Zuko was trying not to crack up laughing. Sokka on the other hand was trying to keep up with what she was saying.
"Well at least you got a Fire bow out of this, I mean there are only six in the whole world now including that one. I'd say you got a pretty good deal out of this," Zuko said to Li, "Even if your father is a full out, monkey face, bug eyed, asswhole." Li cracked up with laughter and actually had to lean on Zuko's arm to protect her self from falling.
"Well I better go get ready for that stupid party thing dad wants me to attend. And yes Zuko you also have to attended as well I don't won't to be alone at this with all those sharks of soldiers," Li said as she noticed Zuko was about to say 'I'm not going', "And he's not the only one that's going to be there is he Sokka." Sokka gulped at what she just said. Was she just telling him to come, he couldn't believe it. "And Zuko you going to have to find him one of your old party robes because he is defiantly not going in that due to the fact you can see his under wear where I burnt him. At least you had armor on Zuko or you would have been like him," Li said.
"Yeah I know," Zuko said trying to look at his butt.
"Well you better go and start getting ready or do whatever you girls do," Zuko said smirking.
"I'll do what I wish and I want to go and meditate for a little while before I do anything," Li said and then walked away towards her room. Sokka and Zuko walked to there room as well trying not to talk to each other. After they were gone Li walked out of her room and ran down the hall and to the deck. When she got outside she went to the stern of the ship and began to practice her bending. Zhao was on his ship going over some things with an advisor when he heard some one firing with fire.
"Sir look there, your daughter," the advisor said as he pointed at her. Zhao turned around and looked down at her. She was practicing some of the advanced moves that she was once taught by he himself once. Zhao walked down the ships plank and walked toward the stern of Zuko's ship. He walked slowly and quietly and then leaned against the railing watching her throw the flames at nobody. He knew she looked exactly like the way her mother looked only with a bit of a fire bender in her. He had taken care of her ever since her birth and made lies to protect her and he would never tell her the truth of what really happened to her mother. He wanted to keep her all to himself, and he would. She was the Fire nations treasure as well as the princess of the Amazon. He would make sure nothing would change her mind about the other nations. About that moment the water tribe boy walked out looking for her. He thought viciously, 'nothing, not even a water tribe peasant.'
"You know your still not looking out for you right side," Zhao said to Li who got so scared that she turned around and shot a flame at Sokka who jumped out of the way screaming like a girl. Zhao smiled at this and thought, 'teaches that boy right to not mess with a fire bending warrior.' Li looked around and found her father standing only a couple of yards away with his arms crossed.
"What do you want father," Li said walking over to a chair where a towel was and began to wipe away the sweat that was on her.
"Oh nothing just wanted to know if you found a suitor yet," Li stopped right in her tracks and with the towel still clenched tightly in her hands. Even Sokka had frozen in place at this question.
"No father you know I have no time for that," Li said starting to go about her normal business.
"Well while I was in the Fire Nation I had a talk with the Fire Lord and he thought it a great idea for you and his son to be married," Li literally felt the fire rising in her from embarrassment.
"Well I don't," Li said.
"Well he dose, in fact that is another reason why I'm hear, between fathers we believe you and Zuko should both be married. I was sent here to tell Zuko that he was to ask you to marry him and I was to tell you to say yes," Zhao said smiling.
"You know Zuko is a friend and only a friend," Li said looking right at her father.
"But he will be more soon since the Fire Lord has asked for this to come true," Zhao said.
"WELL I DON"T WANT TO MARRY HIM. I LOVE SOKKA," At that point everyone was staring and all Li could do was throw her hand over her mouth in embarrassment. About that time Zuko had also walked out and heard it and came running.
"What's wrong, what did he say," Zuko asked.
"Tell him Li, tell him what his father has commanded of him and you," Zhao said smirking.
"I will not," Li said facing her face down toward the metal floor.
"Then I will. Prince Zuko of the Fire Nation has been ordered by his father Fire Lord Ozai to be joined in marriage with Princess Li of the Amazons," Zuko literally had to hold back his astonishment. He would of loved this moment if it were not for a soft sob that escaped Li's mouth. He knew she loved another and wanted to be with Sokka. He looked up with the sternest looks ever and said, " Where is the document that proves this." Zhao snapped his finger and his advisor came running with a form and handed it to Zhao. Zhao walked over and shoved it into his hand. Zuko looked down and found that his father had signed it and that he was supposed to do it. He looked at Li who was looking at it herself but then he noticed something about Sokka. He had his fist clenched and it looked like he could breath fire like a fire bender any second. Sokka stomped off while Zuko stared after him. Li soon ran away into the ship and Zuko simply followed after her.
He didn't go after her he simply went to his room to think this over. He heard a knock on the door and when he opened it a fist slung right in his face. When he thought he was about to regain his composure another fist collided with his jaw. By this time Zuko was made and sent flame to whoever was punching him and when it collided with the person he heard a small yelp but then felt someone coming at him again. He felt the person throw him against the wall and grab his collar holding him to the wall. When he finally looked at the person he found Sokka.
"What in the hell do you think your doing," Zuko yelled.
"Why do you have to go and get Li hurt all the damn time. She doesn't deserve any more drama in her life. I bet you sent a letter to Ozai asking if you could marry her," Sokka said with the most angriest looks on his face Zuko had every seen.
"I had no clue about this until it was just mentioned a few minutes ago," Sokka loosened his grip a bit.
"You better be telling the truth," Sokka said letting go completely. When Sokka turned around Zuko kicked his back, which sent him across the room. "That was for punching me," Zuko said wiping blood from his jaw.
"We're going to have to convince Li to challenge her father to a duel or she won't do a thing about it," Zuko said looking down.
"Why are you telling me this," Sokka asked.
"I care about Li and if it is you she loves then I will allow it. I respect her and love her with all my heart and hate see the hurt in her eyes when something bad happens. If she chooses you I have no other chose to respect you as well and I'm telling you this because we both are going to have to convince her or she is going to end up marrying me," Zuko said looking at Sokka who got up smiling.
"I was wrong about you Zuko, you do have honor even in banishment," Sokka said. Zuko felt his heart lift no one had ever said that to him.
"Thank you Sokka," Zuko said.
"You know we better get ready I think I have some party robes in there your size," Zuko said and they began there work.
