The Gaang at the beach

beccalovesbumblebee- I do not own Avatar the Last airbender. Alright this is the request from Tigerwillow. Sorry for the wait Tigerwillow. Since you have been my only reviewer for the last couple of chapters it is your turn. You asked for Ty LeeXZuko so here it comes. One of my personal favorites.

Ty Luko

Zuko was just walking down the beach. He was just aimlessly wandering around the beach. He just loved the feeling of the sun against his face, and chest. Zuko walked to the edged of the water, and let the cool ocean water wash over his feet. He decided to stand there, and enjoy the feeling of the tide pulling back, and forth shifting the sand under his feet. He enjoyed the relaxing sound of the waves hitting the shore.

"Hey let go of me!" Zuko heard a distressed women yell.

He was up instantly. He knew that voice. Zuko ran up the beach to find a group of bid men surrounding a small girl. All he could make out from the girl was a long braid. Zuko could make out hands trailing on the girl's boob, and butt.

"Let the girl go!" Zuko yelled pushing some of the men away from Ty Lee. Zuko glanced at Ty Lee who was shooting him a look of gratitude. She was a skilled fighter, but even she could take down this many opponents at once. Ty Lee laughed nervously as one of the men's hands slid up her bikini bottom to grab at her crotch. Ty Lee squirmed as he touched her.

"Get away from her," Zuko growled. "Now!" When the man didn't move Zuko did it for him. He threw the man to the ground. As if sensing their defeat the other men backed off. Zuko picked up Ty Lee placing his hand firmly under her but, and began to march farther up the beach.

As they got a good enough distance away from those men.

"So decided to play damsel in distress today?" Zuko said biting back a laugh.

"I couldn't take them down all at once Zuko. One false move, and they would have done bad things to me." Ty Lee shook her head sending the images, and thoughts away.

"I won't let them do anything to you," Zuko muttered into her ear.

Ty Lee nodded her braid flopping up, and down whipped Zuko's back. The pain forced Zuko to release Ty Lee into the sand. Her hand grazed Zuko's side as she fell towards the ground.

"Sorry," Zuko said, as he reached down to help the Acrobat up off of the sand. She was up before he could touch her, and took a fighting stance.

Ty Lee looked amused, as Zuko's stance changed to that of one defending against attack.

"Now you are done being a damsel?" Zuko asked in a amused tone.

"You always said you wanted to spar with me," Ty Lee said before she struck him quickly. Zuko didn't even have time to move. He back off, as he rubbed his arm where she had struck him.

"No chi-blocking, and no bending," Zuko said slowly.

"Alright," Ty Lee agreed. She did a cartwheel back to her starting position.

The fighting was quickly. Ty Lee was faster, than Zuko. She easily dodged his attacks.

"How am I supposed to land a hit on her if I can't touch her?" Zuko asked himself inwardly.

Ty Lee laughed as she did a cartwheel trying to get behind him. He was faster though he grabbed her as she was about to finish her flip. He risked being kicked in the face, but he did have Ty Lee. He lowered her gently to the ground keeping her pinned under his weight. He noticed the labored rising and falling of her chest. SHe was nervous and Zuko could tell. Her brown eyes searched his for his intentions. She didn't look scared, just determined.

"I'm not going to hurt you," Zuko muttered moving the sweat matted hair away from her face.

"I know." Ty Lee blushed, her breathing slowly calming down.

Zuko felt his weight shifting off of her. He was on his hands, still over her. Ty Lee didn't move. She let his face trail over hers. She was going crazy waiting for Zuko to make his move, so she made it for him. Her lips met his, as she was still pressed on the sun warmed sand. Zuko didn't react right away, but he did eventually. He leaned in closer pinning her body on the sand again, but this time it was purely his body against hers.

"Mhmmm," Ty Lee mumbled into Zuko's mouth. She broke the kiss leaving Zuko's body against her. "So much for sparring." She supressed a laugh.

"Yes, but I like this better," Zuko mumbled mostly to himself.

"Me too," Ty Lee added. "Can I sit up now?"

Zuko nodded, as he got off of Ty Lee. He was still sitting above her as she sat up slowly. As she sat up he pulled her into his arms. Zuko just wanted her body close to his.

"So," Ty Lee started.

"What is it Ty?" Zuko asked.

"So what does this mean for us Zuzu?" Ty Lee asked.

"It means this," Zuko muttered his face inching closer to Ty Lee. Their lips met, and it felt like they had just been struck by lightning. This lightning Zuko didn't want to redirect this feeling he couldn't imagine it with anyone else, but Ty Lee.

"I could get used to this," Ty Lee said breaking the kiss. She held his face close to hers, before they kissed again.

They stopped kissing, and just sat there together in the sand gazing into each others eyes. Zuko just hoped that he hadn't hurt Ty Lee, and Ty Lee thought of sparring him again for a rematch.

"We should spar again sometime," Ty Lee said with a smile.

"Is that what they call it nowadays?" Zuko asked, causing Ty Lee to laugh.

They watched the sun set together. Ty Lee's head resting on Zuko's shoulder.

After the sun went down they walked down the beach holding hands, and enjoying each others company. Few words were said as they walked, but neither had much to say. They both knew how the other was, They were both happy, and in a way they were falling for each other.
