Morning, afternoon and evening

I hope you guys have a great day. Thanks for reading this fic.

Book 1: Water

Episode 14: Confusion. Lust Or Love?

"Zuko, Wake up baby."

I wake up before Zuko so I think it is fair to wake him up first. I lean in and give him a light kiss. He grabs me by my waist and plants a bigger and deeper kiss on me. It feels so good, even if it is early in the morning. I smile as he deepens the kiss. He feels it and smiles with me. He finally releases me and gets dressed. I frown as he covers his upper half. He catches my frown and laughs at me.

*REALITY (Kya's POV)*

I wake from my sweet dream hoping that I could do exactly what happened in it. I get up from the floor and go over to Zuko. He is facing away from me so I put my arm around him.
Before I can do anything, he suddenly turns quickly then pushes his hand right in front of my face.

"Stay away from me," he growls.

"You act like this even when we kissed so much yesterday."

"I was tired and I have pent up desires," he says.

Tears threaten to spill out of my lids.

"So all we did yesterday was from pent up desires?"

He looks away and then turns back with a grin on his face.

"So you thought that was real? Did you actually think I would do anything with you? A Water Tribe peasant and the Fire Nation prince? Do not make me laugh," he scoffs.

"B-b-but y-y-you..." I can't talk without stuttering anymore.

He grabs the back of my head and pushes me into his face, causing our lips to connect.
It was a rough, unpassionate kiss.
I push him away and look in his eyes. For some reason I can still see the same look he had in his eyes yesterday. He isn't really meaning all this but I can't help still feeling hurt.

"What is with you? Why did you even do what you did yesterday?"

I repeat myself, hoping for another explanation to his words and actions.

"Like I said pent up desires."

I know he is lying but do not say anything. Instead I just get out of the room so he can think.

*Zuko's POV*

"Zuko you need to think with your head not your dick," I say to myself.

I could not stop wanting her touch or kiss her. Our bodies fit together like two puzzle pieces. When she moaned was when I broke my trance and remembered Mai. I know I had just done something wrong.
My face goes into my hands in frustration.
WHY DID I NOT THINK OF HER BEFORE? My mind is screaming for something, but I don't know for what. Thoughts start to clutter my head and soon I can not think straight.
It's wrong but I want more of what happened.
Was it really lust and pent up desires? Or was it...love? These questions won't stop going around in my head and cause me to develop a migraine.
Before anything else can confuse me, I realise what the day holds for me. I stand immediately so I may ready myself for the night.
Apparently Zhao is meeting with Colonel Shinu for a request. I have to plan how I am going to do this. I need to get the avatar before him.
It does not help that I am busy making out with Kya. Plus she is the avatar's double. It would be ironic dating the person you are supposed to turn into the Fire Nation.
I care more for my honor than some silly puppy love.

*Later*

I go up to the deck for a few minutes of fresh air. I had the captain dock us near Pohuai Stronghold, a fortress of the Fire Nation in the western Earth Kingdom.
I go back to my room to don my night attire. I wear all black and bring out the mask I found in the earth kingdom trading market. I bought it while Uncle was looking for his Pai Sho piece. It is blue and looks like an evil spirit.
I do not put it on yet and instead quickly run off the ship, but not without my twin Dao swords. Not many people know I am trained in twin Dao swords.

*Flashback*

I try so hard in firebending class but can not seem to get most of the techniques down.
I hate how she always seems to get them. Father always boasts about her and does not like to mention me. Me, his eldest son, successor to his throne.
I look around the room I am in and see two swords. The swords are twins and both amazingly alike. An older man approaches me.

"Prince Zuko, do you know what those are?"

I shake my head.

"Of course he does not. He is stupid," she says.

I turn and stick my tongue at her.

"No one here is stupid only ignorant," he replies, looking to her,"Would you like to learn how to use these?"

I nod eagerly to Master Piando as smiles towards me.

*Flashback End*

I smile at the memory and look at my swords. These are the same swords I trained with when I was younger.
They are strapped to my back as I sit in the forest and wait for nightfall.

*Kya's POV*

I roam the hallways looking for my favorite older firebender but, to my surprise, find no one. I walk down for what seems to be the hundredth hall and finally see a living soul. Although he is the last one I want to see.

"Yu Ming," I say curtly.

"Bitch," he says.

I wave my hand and the air quickly slams him into a wall. I look back to see his glare, but he can not do anything. I smirk then make my way to the sun deck.
Finally I find my way to the upper deck and watch as Zuko goes down the gangplank. Curiosity takes over causing me to follow behind him. I can't help it because I am just so lonely, even with Iroh.

*Zuko's POV*

I hear footsteps crunch the dirt behind. I pretend to scratch my back and hastily pull out a sword, poising it at the major artery on the neck of my follower. I look to the face to discover it's only Kya.

"Are you crazy? Don't fucking sneak up on me, dumb ass."

"I was just wondering where you were going," she replies, taking a deep breath as I pull the sword away.

"Fuck, I need you to go I need to be alone."

"I think I need to go where you are so you won't get hurt. Plus it is lonely without you," she says, giving me her saddest face.

I feel the heat rush to my face.

"You are so blunt about it. Have you no pride?"

Saying this and looking at her face, I hang my head in defeat.

"Fine just be quiet and let me concentrate on this."

I unsheathe my swords and try to remember the different fighting techniques shown to me by Master Piandao.
He is one of the greatest swordsman to ever live. It is said he took down a hundred man army with just himself and a sword he made himself.
I shake the useless thoughts out of my head and go back to remembering how I practiced. I look to Kya who is quietly watching my little show from her seat on a decomposing log.
Pretending I am alone I look to my swords.
The swords reflect sunlight as I swing them back and forth. Light and quick on my feet, I manage to cut exactly one leaf from a tree. Then I end up cutting the limb off the tree.
She still sits there watching me intently.

*Hours Later*

It is finally night time and Kya has fallen asleep on the ground. I cover her in leaves for camouflage and for some comfort.
After a short walk out of the forest, I get to the fortress and scale the wall, avoiding guards.
I reach a roof as Zhao and Shinu, accompanied by a few guards, make their way to a spot near mine.

"Colonel I need your archers to find the avatar. It is a waste having them as security," I hear Zhao plea.

"No these are my archers and that is my final answer Zhao," Shinu commands.

Suddenly a messenger hawk lands on the edge of the wall. Shinu unties and read the message, then his face scrunches and he turns pale.

"A message from Firelord Ozai," Zhao asks as he snatches the paper.

He smiles deviously at the Colonel after looking up from the paper.

"Well it looks like my request turns into an order,'' he sneers at Shinu.

"Yes Admiral Zhao," Shinu says, bowing to his new superior.

The colonel stalks off, mumbling to himself, as Zhao stands there. Then all of what I learned as a child comes to me.
Pohuai Stronghold houses the best of best archers. They could pin a fly to a tree from 100 yards away without killing it.
I quickly get down from the tower roof and flee back to the forest. I reach where I left Kya and quickly find a shady spot. I feel the darkness overtake me as I lie down on some soft green moss.

*Kya's POV*

I wake up as the sun rises and brush off the leaves that are covering me. Did a tree shed upon me?
I hear a slight breath hitch and look to my right to see Zuko fast asleep on some green moss. Not wanting to wake him I tiptoe from the place.
I must go back to the ship so we may have something to eat. I grab some dried meat, apples and bread from where the cook tells me.
As I exit the ship's kitchen, a hand comes from nowhere and grabs me.

"Going to leave us are you?"

I look back to see Yu Ming. I stomp his foot, causing him to release me so he may cradle his now sprained appendage.

"Don't ever touch me again. I need this to give to Zuko."

"Oh, now I see... You like him, don't you blue bitch?"

Yu Ming got into the nasty habit of calling me blue bitch. Sokka could make up better names and his names never catch on.

"No, asswipe, I just have to bring them, no emotion behind this."

I glance to my left and see someone set out a bowl of water. I make a small motion with my hands, it is barely noticeable. The water whips around me to my hand. It covers my hand making a water glove.
Yu Ming looks at my hand.

"Hey what is th..."

I smack him with my now ice glove and take off running with my spoils. The guards are too slow when I use my airbending to go over them. There is a crowd at the dock, so I run into it and lose them.
Tired of walking I motion the earth into a short, wide strip of packed together dirt. I step on, testing the consistency as to make sure I won't fall through, then place the food on it. I swing my arms and it moves like a cart.
With this, I make it back to the forest and Zuko in minutes. As I arrive, Zuko is still laying upon the green moss. The black suit clings to his every curve of muscle.
I feel very warm just looking at him.
I try to think of something else but I find my mind go back to our heated moment. I thought I felt a bump yesterday when he was on me. I can't help but smile thinking about yesterday.
I look back to him and notice a light sheen of sweat covering his face. The least I should do is strip off the upper body of his suit. I walk over to Zuko and see buttons down his back. I gently pop each button till I am down his lower back. I try to gently pull off the black exposing his creamy ivory shoulders.
Suddenly he turns to face me then slaps my hands away.

"What the fuck are you doing touching me, avatar bitch?"

The retort is on the tip of my tongue but I bite it back.

"Explain yourself, wench."

"Look ass you are sweating and losing lots of water. So I want to help you out of your suit," I say this as he wipes the sweat from his brow.

"Whatever."

He says this but takes off the upper half of his clothing, revealing the muscles I had caressed last night. I look away in case he wants to be a jackass again.

*Zuko's POV*

It feels weird when Kya worries about me. I can not help but think of her as part mother.
The wind blows causing the sweat on my body to chill. The touch of wind is slightly appealing. The darkness slowly converges onto me again. I look closely into the darkness and see a familiar face.

"Mom?"

I say this as I see the familiar brown hair, and ivory skinned woman. I run to her and she runs from me. I catch up to her as she falls into some invisible hole.

"Zuko wake up," she whispers.

My eyes flutter opens after she says this. I rise, causing sweat to drip down my body. I lay back down and turn on to my side.
I gasp realizing that there is another face centimeters from me. I quickly stand up and back away from Kya.
My foot grazes something on the ground so I look down. I see a cup of cold tea and bread on a leaf. I eat quickly and realize how cold it is out here. I can see why she huddled next to me.
I then look to the sky and see the blackness with dots of brightness. Tonight I go back to Pohuai Stronghold. I run through the forest as fast as my legs will carry me. I hear a rattling and stop just as I see a clearing.
A cart is traveling on the rock and dirt road. It is traveling in the direction of the stronghold.
I time it and roll under it as it comes close. It jolts to a stop then I hear the voices of soldiers, and then see the soft orange glow of their lanterns. As the light rounds the cart I hop into the back.

*Kya's POV*

I awake to see Zuko is gone and the food I laid out for him eaten. I feel the coolness creep onto my skin and shiver.
I hear voices all of a sudden; being near a fire nation stronghold didn't help me think these were good people.
I spread the fire ashes everywhere, then hid the tea and bread quickly. I quickly find a tree with low lying branches and I climb up till the boughs cover me. I was not a second late when I saw two soldiers walking into our campsite.
One was very short, fat man, and the other was exact opposite thin, lean and tall. Both were pale, had dark hair and wore the headbands that marked all fire nation guards.

"You know Admiral Zhao can kiss my fucking fat ass. These woods patrols are fucking pointless. Like I see anything except the occasional jackrabbit," the small, fat soldier starts to complain.

"Shut up, you don't know who or what is out here," the thin soldier says.

The soldiers stop right under the tree I am in. WHY ME?

"You know, you gotta stop being a pussy."

"I am sorry that we all can't be like, your mother fucking self."

The two keep arguing back and forth. I feel sleep trying to overcome me. Being in a tree with Fire Nation soldiers below doesn't encourage sleep.

*Morning*

My eyes flutter, trying to close themselves. My arms and legs scream at me to curl up and sleep but the soldiers are still down there and talking.
Just as I think this, they rise up and walk away.
I jump from my branch and use my airbending to land softly on the ground. I collapse onto the ground in a heap. I crawl over to a patch of sunlight and fall asleep.

*Few Hours Later*

I awake to someone grabbing my arm. I jerk my arm out of the person's grasp, thinking it is one of the guards I saw. The person takes both my arms and pin them to my sides.
I open my eyes to see Aang.

"AANG!"

"KYA!"

"Wow it is you."

Aang laughs at me as I brush off some dirt. It seems we always see each other before I see Katara and Sokka.

"Hey, I have to go but here," Aang says as he hands me a note and goes into the trees.

"Oh, Zuko is a few yards from you," he yells back, still hopping through the treetops.

I walk into the next open space in the woods and see Zuko lying in a hole with tree roots surrounding him.

"Zuko."

His eyes are open but he is still lying down.

"Zuko, here."

I give him a hand and help him up from the hole. He limps so I wrap an arm around him and support some of his weight.

"Zuko, you ok?"

He nods and stays quiet. I turn to face forward but feel something in my hair and look up to see his face close to mine.

"I do not like you," he says.

"Sure. Whatever you say, Zuko."

We walk back to the ship in silence.

I hope you guys aren't confused with this.

But if you remember in the series he was confused on what he wanted to do.

Ok so I want some feedback.

Yours Truly,

Kya~Avatar
