On the corner of a street of a village, sitting on the side asking for change sit Kai, Zuko, and Iroh.. They're sitting on straw mats, their stolen ostrich horse behind them.

Iroh holds his hat in his hand and calls out to the passerbys,"Spare coins for weary travelers?" He looks hopefully at anyone who passes. A man throws a few copper coins into Iroh's hat, joining the dozen already there.

Zuko growls in frustration. "This is humiliating! We're royalty. These people should be giving us whatever we want."

"They will - if you ask nicely." Iroh responded.

Kai rolls her eyes at her theatrical boyfriend and naive uncle. "I know that if you want anything around here, you gotta steal it. You can't get by from just begging"

A well dressed young woman passes by as Iroh croaks, "Spare change for a hungry old man?"

Sympathy replaces the young woman's optimistic expression. "Aww.." She says as she produces a coin from her sleeve and puts it in his hat."Here you go."

Iroh nods, "The coin is appreciated, but not as much as your smile."

Kai chuckles as Zuko slaps his forehead in a frustration, watching the girl giggle and walks away. A man carrying a pair of broadswords on his back wanders by the opposite direction as the girl. He stops and addresses the trio.

With a somewhat cruel smile on his face he speaks, "How about some entertainment in exchange for...a gold piece."

"We're not performers." Zuko growled. Kai's expression turned to one of seriousness.

Iroh smiles and puts his hat on the ground. "Not professional, anyway." Standing up and clasping his hands together, he begins to sing, shifting from one foot to another as he rocks back and forth. "It's a long, long way to Ba-Sing-Se, but the girls in the city they look soo prett-ay!"

The man whips out his swords. "Come on! We're talking a gold piece here! Let's see some action!" He barks. The man points his swords towards Iroh. "Dance!" He swings his swords at Iroh's legs. Iroh hops up and down to avoid the blows while continuing his song.

"And they kiss so sweet that you've really got to meet the girls from Ba-Sing-Se!"

Zuko grits his teeth and grips his knees in his hands. Kai places a hand on his to calm him as she also glares at the man.

"Hahaha! Nothing like a fat man dancing for his dinner." The man tosses Iroh the coin. "Here ya go!" His eyes land on Kai and his smirk grows in size. "I'll give you five gold pieces for a moment...alone with your friend here."

Zuko stands up and moves to grab the man by the neck, but Kai grabs onto his arm. "No! Zuko it's fine. Five gold pieces is a very generous offer." She holds her hand out to the man and he takes it. "I'll be right back."

Iroh grabs Kai's arm and gives her a stern look. "You are not going with this man."

"Iroh. I'll be fine. Trust me. If I need any help I'll just scream." Kai whispered.

Iroh lets out a deep, worried sigh. He swiftly slides her a dagger and nods for her to go.

Zuko's eyes widen in disbelief. "Uncle! What are you doing?!" Zuko moves to chase after his girlfriend, but Iroh stops him. "She has a plan Zuko! We must trust that she can handle this."

"That's nonsense!" Zuko screamed. He wriggles free from his uncle's grasp and begins to search for his companion.

The man had taken her to a secluded alleyway. With a smirk he spoke, "If you do a good job I might even give you ten gold pieces."

"How generous." She mumbled. Kai wraps her arms around the man and caressed his face, bringing her lips just inches from his. He exhaled, transferring the taste of his disgusting breath into her mouth. Kai began to kiss down the man's neck, his shoulders relaxed and he began to inch down her waist and place his hand on her ass. Kai kept herself from gagging as she knelt down onto the ground.

"Eager aren't you?" The man breathed.

"Oh yes. Nothing I want more than some creep's roach infested dick near the place I put food in." Kai mumbled under her breath. While the man was distracted, undoing his belt Kai drew water from her large canteen and froze his legs. With a smirk on her own face Kai raised an eyebrow at the man's shocked expression. "Something wrong?

Quickly the man caught on. "You slut!" He screamed as he swung his arms to hit her. However, quickly Kai immobilized that threat and froze his hands to the wall. Taking a deep breath Kai swung her own fist into the man's jaw. And she did it again. And again. And again. She bends the leftover water in her pouch, making to long whips.

Kai yelled at the man, "You think it's funny?!" The whip hit his sides and his legs and his stomach and chest. "Preying on the innocent?! The homeless?!" Kai kept hitting him again and again, he groaned and winced at the pain letting out occasional cries.

"Kai!"

The water from her whip fell to the ground as Kai turned around, worried. And when she saw a more than confused and also worried Zuko she calm down from her high horse. "I told you to wait for me!"

"Don't be stupid!" Zuko yelled. He marched over to her and grabbed her arms and legs, he even lifted her shirt inspecting her for any sign of harm.

"Hey!" Kai shouted in response to Zuko lifting her shirt. "I'm fine! This isn't some dirty alleyway burlesque show."

Zuko stared at her before he nodded. "Okay."

Kai looked to the angry man frozen to the wall. She took his broadswords and his sack full of coins and handed them to Zuko. "Here ya go."

Zuko took the items and walked up to the man. He bends a small flame in his hand, holding it to the man's face as he whispers in his ear. "Next time I'll be the one dealing with you. And I won't leave you alive. I will burn you."

Kai smirked. "See this is why you don't try and humiliate poor old men This all could've been avoided if you were a better person."

"You bitch! You need a leash!" The man shouted.

"Thin ice man, you are on thin ice." Kai says. "We'd better head back. Iroh must be worried sick."

Zuko, Iroh, and Kai found shelter in a nearby cave. This is where they spent most of their time. Iroh was out shopping with the money they had...obtained, leaving /kai and Zuko alone. Kai laid her head on Zuko's chest, one arm draped over his shoulder and the other around his waist.

"When you were with that man from town...you didn't…." Zuko trailed off but Kai knew what he meant.

"No. Never." Kai said surely.

"Those things you were saying, about preying on the weak and innocent and the homeless. Did you mean Iroh...or you?"

Kai frowned. "Me." Zuko simply nodded. "When my parents died I was homeless for a long...long time. Until we went on your ship in fact."

"Is that what you did the whole time?" Zuko asked quietly.

"Stealing or tricking men with my natural good looks and charm?" Kai asked.

Both."

"Sort of.." Kai chewed nervously on her nails. "Usually when I went to your house I would be fed so much I would be fine for days. But those times where I didn't go to your house...yeah I stole.A lot."

"What about the other thing?"

"Not at first. It wasn't until I blossomed into a woman and all that bullshit." Kai shrugged, "I never did anything, I always got away and stole their sht before they could even touch their belt. But, then again I rarely begged on the street. I was afraid you would see me or something."

"You should've asked to stay with me or asked for help."

"Yeah I could see that going really well. I'd say Hey Zuko I'm a criminal on the down low and would absolutely love it if you could let me stay in your palace forever thanks." Kai mumbled. Zuko stayed silent. "What's wrong?"'

"Did you ever steal from the palace?" Zuko questioned.

Kai let out an awkward laugh. "Of course not Zuko." Kai had stolen from the palace on several occasions, but stopped when she and Zuko had become good friends. The only person who knows is Azula and that's because she caught her in the act.

Zuko smirked, "Good."

Kai came to a sudden realization that a certain someone was absent. "Iroh isn't here!"

"Yeah he's at th-" A grin creeped onto Zuko's face as he caught on to what she was implying.

Zuko smiled, his hands brushing along her sides, thumbs running over her breasts that were on display under the fitted top she wore. "Okay."

They move deeper into the cave for insurance. Zuko bends his head down and his lips touch hers. For a moment they just kiss, enjoying the way their lips feel against their own. Kai's stomach drops in a pleasant way, and she sinks against him. She ran her arm over his side then up his back, sliding her hand under the shirt he was wearing so she could feel his bare skin under her hands.

They kissed delicately, taking it slow and deep. Kai reached up to cup his face with her hand, moaning at the taste of him, the feel of his lips as they danced along my own, his tongue sliding in to meet mine, absorbing every little sound that escaped our throats. The two of them soon found themselves on the ground. She settled in on his lap, both legs straddling him.

Zuko kissed along her neck. He worked his way down in a painfully slow manner, dragging his mouth down to her collarbone, as his hands found her skin. His hands grazed her ribs, and his fingers work their way up.

The two pulled away long enough for them to discard their shirts. "Iroh could come back any second." Kai breathed.

Zuko undid the cloth woven around her breasts."I know," he mumbles. His hand moves to hold her in place, his lips closing around one of her nipples. Kai attempts to stifle the groan that escapes her throat with no luck, the feeling of his wet mouth on her bare skin is electric. Zuko's other hand moves, his fingers continuing their exploration, sliding over her other breast until his whole hand covers her.

Zuko pulls down his girlfriend's long skirt and his fingers tug at the waistband of the underwear she wore. His mouth moved lower, until he's kissing the inside of one of her thighs, pushing them further apart until he's happy. He holds her legs in place, licking slowly almost torturingly.

"God Zuko...This is torture. Sweet, sweet torture." Kai mumbles.

Zuko pulls away from her, earning a protesting groan from Kai. "Good."

(A/N: I mean I hope you've caught by now like I'm going all the way straight for the gold. So ya know trigger warning: s e x )

Zuko kissed her neck, sucking on it so as to leave a hickey. His thigh slid in between her legs, his arousal pressed firmly against her thigh.

Kai smirked and undid his pants as well as his own undergarments. They slide off easily and join the rest of the discarded fabric.

Zuko and Kai stop for a moment. Zuko smiles at her, "I love you."

Kai smirked, "Well you're about to love me even more. Kai smiles at him and rest on her knees.

She reaches for him, smirking when his eyes widen as her fingers come in contact with his bare skin. He's soft and smooth, Kai grins at the reaction he gets from just stroking it. She can hear the sharp inhale when she bend forward to take him in her mouth.

"Kai..." He breathes her name as he feels the sensation of having him in her mouth. She uses one hand to stroke him, and the other rests on his thigh as she sucks the length of him. For a while there is nothing but the sound of her mouth on him, and the increasingly urgent groans of her name. His hips occasionally jerk forward. One of his hands rests in her hair, his fingers dig into her scalp, tangling her hair.

"I want you," he finally groans out, and I let him slide out of my mouth. A small noise of protest comes from his mouth and Kai grins.

Kai moves on top of him, she winces as she feels him slide inside of her. She grips on to him, struggling to focus on him rather than her numerous encounters with Zhao or anyone else. Tears well in her eyes, Zuko looks up at her worry immediately replacing any pleasure.

"Does it hurt? Are you alright?"

Kai takes a deep breath, "I'm fine."

Zuko presses a soft kiss to her lips. "I love you."

"I love you too."

Zuko begins to thrust into her, one hand gripping her hair, and the other exploring every inch of her skin. She wraps her legs around him, muttering incoherent sounds under her breath.
