Newbies: Not needed

Oldbies: ArrayePL, Forget-me-not writing, nunya, Pixie Minx, Renthread015, Samanya, Scarcasm22

Everyone more or less just said something along the lines of: NO! Don't let Zuko die! lol so I am not going to write to everyone this time.

This chapter is another short one. But I think that will satisfy you until next time. :-D This one is a shout out to jmac1220. I used part of your review in a round about way because I found it hilarious and had to add it in here.

Hope you enjoy it!

The intruder hit the ground hard and bounced a few yards before coming to a stop.

"Fucking water tribe trash." He wheezed as he tried to roll over onto his back. "Shit."

Slowly he managed to get turned on his back. "I didn't realize she was this strong."

Moving with as much caution as possible he sat up clutching his ribs. "I mean I knew she was strong and nothing to mess with unlike Ryuji. But she threw me out the window like I was nothing."

He finally got up and was heavily leaning on a pole, or is it a tree, he couldn't really tell. He was going to be passing out soon. He wouldn't make it very far. "Ok where am I?"

Taking in his surroundings he realized he was on the far side of town. In the area of town where people who wanted to get lost tended to be. Many people knew him here and what he did for a living. Most were people he had either worked with or for at some point. "I just have to make it to a bar and I will be fine."

Limping and throwing himself from tree to pole to pole he eventually made it to the bar. Falling at the steps he crawled the rest of the way up the steps and threw the door.

"Oh Angi. Get him to the healer!" Someone yelled that he faintly remembered.

Waking a few hours later he slowly opened his eyes. "I fell like a got ran over by a truck."

"No, you got throw out of a window by a water bender." Ryuji spoke with hate seeping from every syllable.

Jumping from the slight surprise, he relaxed in defeat. "Upset?"

"Yes I am fucking upset! I pay you and I get nothing in return but trouble. I get a message from Kiwi saying that you had been hurt and the healers were working on you. You are worthless. It seems like I have to do everything myself." Ryuji ranted and raised his arms with his anger.

"I am adding to my plan. I did not anticipate being thrown out of a window!" His voice rose from calm to yelling as the sentence continued.

"Well then you get your plan together as soon as possible because shortly, whether it be by that water tribe scum or by me, you are going to die." Ryuji said angrily as he stood to walk out of the room.

"Well that was a fun visit." Slowly he made an attempt to sit up.

"You should not upset him so much." A girl entered the room and set some food down next to him.

"Kiwi please don't start." He rolled his eyes and fell back onto the bed.

"Neikan you should have never taken this job." Kiwi said as she sat on the edge of the bed. "Yami has already died because of this job. I don't want to lose another brother."

"Kiwi don't worry. I am smarter than Yami. I have already started half of my plan." Neikan said sitting up and taking some food.

"Which is?" Kiwi asked while she watched him eat.

"I don't want you to become more involved than you already are." Neikan took a large bite of meat.

"Neikan tell me or I will take your food away." Kiwi said with a stern look.

"I will tell you something. I went to the ball and met them." Neikan said as he took another bite.

"And then you decided to try and kill them afterwards because?"

"I just wanted to poison him. I didn't expect her to be there."

"Fair enough." Kiwi stood to leave. "Eat all that food. You need all your energy to take care of this. Father wants it taken care of soon."

"I know." Neikan sighed. "You should have never sent him a letter."

"I thought you were going to die." Kiwi said with a slight yell.

"Next time don't tell him. Because he wants me dead just as much as them."

Zuko slowly woke up and looked around the room. He was in the hospital. What happened? The last thing I remember is fighting that guy and Katara coming in. "Katara!"

Oh no! What happened is she ok? Zuko tried to get up from his bed and noticed how weak he was. What happened? Did Katara not heal me?

Slowly he managed to get his feet on the floor. Zuko attempted to stand up but fell right back onto the bed.

"What do you think you are doing?"

Zuko's head shot to the door and there stood Toph with a smirk on her face. "Trying to get up and see if Katara is ok." He responded before giving up with a sigh and laying back down.

"Physically Katara is fine. Mentally she is crazier than normal." Toph said walking towards the bed to sit down.

Relieved Zuko moved some to make room for the girl. They shared a brother sister bond that he never had with Azula. He would do anything for the small girl. While she had a tough shell he knew that she was fragile on the inside. He loved her like the sister he never had. "Care to explain what happened?"

"Well we ran into the room and you had gotten yourself poisoned like the idiot you are." Zuko snored at her attempt to make fun of him. "Then we brought you here because Katara's healing wasn't working. Nali sent us all away and started to heal you. Two days later here we are." Toph said as she placed her feet on the bed and crossed them.

"Oh. So then am I still poisoned?" Zuko asked a little concerned.

"I have no idea." Toph said with a smile on her face all too cheery.

"WHAT?" Zuko shot up in bed.

Toph started laughing speaking between laughs. "Nali…wouldn't….let…us…in..until…this..morning….She hasn't…told…us..anything."

Zuko rolled his eyes. "So in other words you aren't suppose to be here right now."

"Yulp." Toph said as she reclined on the bed. "She told us we could come in and see you for awhile but that ended a few hours ago."

"So then why are you here?" Zuko asked as he rubbed the bridge of his nose.

"Well isn't it obvious!" Top said as she started to pull the pillow away from Zuko so she could have it.

Zuko sighed. "No."

"I was bored out of my mind." Toph finally getting the pillow away from Zuko rested her head on the pillow before she began again. "Uncle is just running around complaining about a security breach. Aang is acting almost as bad. Jee hasn't left the door of the hospital. May has cleaned more things than I can count. Ursa is making herself busy with random stuff that is boring. Like fancy dresses and tea with old women." Zuko laughed at how much Toph hated anything fancy.

"What about Katara?" Zuko asked as Toph brought her hands behind her head and closed her eyes.

"She is the worst out of everyone." Zuko didn't like that response. "She has cried for almost all of the last two days. And all she does is complain about how much this is her fault and how you can't leave her. Gah! It is horrible." Toph finished with a slight smile.

"Toph you crack me up. You tried to make that sound horrible but you ended up smiling half way through." Zuko said as they both started to laugh. "Is she ok? Where is Katara now?"

"Man lots of questions. I think she is in her room. And yeah she is fine. Not one scratch."

"Did she figure out why her healing didn't work?"

"No. But Nali thinks it has something to do with her shoulder and possible pregnancy." Zuko's look of shock at Toph's knowledge was comical. "Oh yeah. Way to go by the way. Getting her pregnant without even trying. Nice."

Zuko didn't seem to find it as funny as Toph but was relieved that nothing serious had happened to her.

"I do have to say." Toph began with an evil grin on her face. "Getting her pregnant and not remembering any of the fun is a little depressing." Zuko turned slightly pink. "I mean you didn't even get to see her naked body."

Zuko was now red. "Toph."

"I mean just think how long it will be until you possibly have a chance to see that naked tan skin again."

Zuko's blush grew darker. "Toph!"

"I can only imagine your reactions to her boobs." Toph said with an evil smile growing.

Zuko as red as one could get at this point. "TOPH!"

"What. I am just saying that really sucks." Toph hardly finished the sentence before she burst out in uncontrollable laughter.

"This isn't funny Toph!" Zuko yelled as his blush spread to his ears.

"You should feel the vibrations you are putting off now. You have to be as red as a tomato." Toph's laughter was growing louder.

"Toph! Stop laughing! This isn't funny!"

Toph continued to pester Zuko and Zuko's blush continued to grow, until Nali came and made Toph leave so Zuko could rest.

"Hey."

"Hey. How are you feeling?" Katara asked as she took a seat next to the bed.

Nali had let Zuko sleep another night before letting someone enter. Iroh and Ursa had already come and gone already this morning. It was finally Katara's turn. Zuko could tell she had been crying, her eyes were red and puffy.

"I'm fine. How are you?" Zuko asked both knowing what he meant.

"I'm fine. Nali doesn't know what happened. She said sometimes on the New Moon waterbenders loose their powers but never just part of it." Katara said looking down at her hands. "I have been able to heal since then. So we aren't really sure."

"So then how are you?" Zuko knew this was eating her alive. How could it not?

Katara flew across the small space between them and bear hugged Zuko, barring her head in his chest and crying. "I was so worried about you! I felt so helpless. I wanted to heal you so bad but nothing would work. I hated it. I can't lose you."

Zuko, shocked at first, moved to hug Katara and stroke her head while she spoke and cried. He whispered to her that he was fine now and nothing was wrong. Her powers would come back and how he was fine. "Katara I promise you I am fine." He moved over in bed and pulled her next to him. She continued to cry into his chest until she fell asleep.

Nali watched them until Katara fell asleep then she walked in. "Zuko you can leave in the morning if you would like."

"I will. Thanks Nali. Do you think that she will be fine?" Zuko asked as he continued to rub her back while she slept.

"I believe so. I think something went wrong with a combination of the new moon and the pregnancy." Nali said as she leaned on the door frame. "But if it turns out she is not pregnant, I don't know what is going on with her."

"I hope that's all. She is doesn't need more pressure." Zuko said then leaned down to kiss her head. "What happens if she isn't pregnant?"

"She would need to speak to the healers in the south and see if they have heard of anything like this before." Nali took a deep breath. "I think it might have something to do with the arrow that she was hit with. Did it have poison on it, do you remember?

Zuko thought back to what seemed like months ago. "I'm sorry. I can't remember."

"That's ok. I should have asked you sooner. Get some sleep Zuko. We need you back out there as soon as possible." Nali said as she closed the door to the room.

Zuko distinguished the lights and placed his head on Katara's. "Sweet dreams love."
