Detention

Okay, yeah, I know, I promised a longer chapter, but I have an excuse (this time)! I was sick and had a bunch of make-up work... Then, I had Honor Band Auditions..... FIRST CHAIR RED BAND! WOOT, WOOT! (For those who don't know, that's the best you can get.) Then, I had writer's block... THEN! I couldn't view the document manager page! I checked twice a day for two weeks! So, there are my excuses for this chapter being late, enjoy the chapter!

Detications:

Writing for my Cat: Hm... That's a good idea... Square watermelons forever!

Western NC man: Thank you! A) Katara being kidnapped is a good idea. You'll see the beginning of that plotline this chapter. B) I love that quote you said at the end! "You can't rush art. You can yell and curse at it, but you can't rush it". I loved that!

kataang1234: I think that the detention chapter is a good idea. Thanks!

KataangLover1630: Of course, I will always keep those!

bradley godwin: That's a good idea, but I don't think it could work. Thanks, though!

12YearOldStranger: Hm... Exploring Katara's evil side... Maybe not Katara's, but maybe Kya or Liz's....

guywhoreadsfanfiction: Okay, thank you!

Silverdude: That's a really good idea... I might just do something along those lines later....

Hey what does what u called that last chapter mean? AN? Authors Note

Is Kya your real name? No

Are you from America? Yes

How old are you because my guess is you're in your twenties because you right so good! Thank you, but I am in the 7th grade.

Skaties: Thanks for the review.

tophgirl512: I think I want Zuko dating Suki, but thanks for the review.

:D : I like to do that, because, if I'm writing a really hard-to-write chapter, I can always do it from my POV.

ibrakeforwearwolfs: I do plan on having more Tokka. Thank you!

TokkaxRocks! (): I know, I'm really sorry it took so long!

Disclaimer: I am writing fanfiction. Do you think I own Avatar? That's right, no. However, I do own EBBA, so you can't steal it. Or my awesome beta, KTBG. Unless she says it's okay for you to steal her... I can sue! *hires lawyer*

Katara's POV

My feet drug against the ground shamefully with Liz, Kya, and Toph by my side as we walked into the teacher's building. Liz and Kya were walking in the same shameful position as me, but Toph seemed completely comfortable going to detention.

Why am I surprised?

I entered the dim room that we were to meet in for detention: the principals office; glancing at its contents, I realized there weren't enough chairs for eight people. There were only enough for three, which meant we would probably have to sweep the halls. Good! I smiled to myself. My wrists are sore from that water bending move, I don't think I would be able to copy the dictionary.

I inhaled sharply as I see who is in the leather chair behind the wide mahogany desk.

Ozai.

"Katara Waters, you are to purge the northern half of the campus of litter with Zuko Ozai, Toph Bei Fong, and Liz Chante," Ozai stated smoothly, in a frighteningly calm voice. Man! I have to pick up trash? Why didn't he pair me with Aang?

I glanced at the rest of the room, and find that Kya, Liz, Toph and I arrived before the guys. As usual. Ozai cleared his throat, and handed me a black trash bag with a pair of latex gloves. He almost growled, "Go on ahead and start. The others will join you shortly."

I knew showing up five minutes early was a bad idea....

Later, Zuko's POV

Ugh, why do people have to litter! I complained silently to myself as my aching back bent down once more to pick up a random piece of trash. My trash bag was nearly full, and I was relived; Katara, Liz, and Suki came early, filled their trash bag, and already left. Toph was still tagging along with me, earthbending cigarette butts and empty water bottles into her bag.

"Hey, what's this?" Toph asked, waving a sheet of notebook paper in my face.

I internally sighed, Why do you need to know? People just throw their crap out the window of their car, not caring who reads it. It's probably just a blank sheet of paper.

I snatched it and grumpily read, "Azula," I stopped right there. This was a letter to my sister? I continued, "I am pleased with your advancement on the current mission of kidnapping the waterbender and brainwashing her into supporting our cause."

"What waterbender?" Toph demanded, her voice remaining even, but worry is evident in her voice.

"I don't know," I responded, scanning the letter for a name. "Her teachers say that she is a prodigy bender, the strongest force they've seen in over twenty years, so you watch your step. Once you capture her, bring her to Laogi, and she will soon be ready to return to the academy. Though she is no match for you, however, there is a new complication in the mission. Her boyfriend is-"

My heart skipped several beats in fear, and I nearly dropped the letter in shock. Toph felt my irregular heart beat and questioned irritably, "Well, what does it say?"

I just shook my head, and tied my trash bag shut. I threw it next to Katara's bag, and took off running. I heard Toph shouting for me, but my brain just didn't register her voice. Using her earthbending, she caught up with me, and kept up with my sprinting pace. I ran into the dorm and flew up the five flights of stairs, Toph close behind me, ignoring all the strange looks people shoot me.

I flung open Katara's door without even knocking and bumped right into her.

"What's the big rush, Zuko?" She laughed, a bright smile on her tan face. I just shook my head, and handed her the letter. She shot me a strange look, but read aloud,

"Azula,

I am pleased with your advancement on the current mission of kidnapping the waterbender and brainwashing her into supporting our cause. Her teachers say that she is a prodigy bender, the strongest force they've seen in over twenty years, so watch your step. Once you capture her, bring her to Laogi, and she will soon be ready to return to the academy. Though she is no match for you, however, there is a new complication in the mission. Her boyfriend is the Avatar.

-Long Feng, Captain of the Dai Lee," Her voice shook with sobs at the end of the letter, realizing what I realized.

Azula was trying to kidnap Katara.

That Night, Ty Lee's POV

I silently dove through the window and somersaulted as I landed. Jumping to my feet, I glanced around the room. All I could make out were two bunk beds and a couch. Creeping towards the target's bed, I heard a swish of clothing directly behind me. Mai.

According to Azula's sources, there were two people guarding the door to the target's bedroom, so the only way to enter was through the window, since taking them out wouldn't be the quietest thing to do. Mai broke the lock during the day when no one was in the room so we could easily enter the room this night.

My knee bumped up against the bottom bunk, and I took a frightened step back. The target moaned, and I held my breath in fear. Azula's orders were clear; the subject has to be asleep. I cautiosly felt for the target's head or neck. My hand bumped a warm shoulder, and I promptly punched it before the target could make a sound. I see Mai's figure go for the bottom of the bed, and I make my way for the top. She grabbed the subject's legs, and I grabbed the subject's arms. We lifted her unconchious body off the bed, and make our way for the window.

Mai lowered herself and the subject out the window. However, before I could follow, someone awoke and yelled, "Intruder!"

I glance out the window, and found the subject and Mai far below. I was alone. Charging towards the voice, I prepared my finger to knock the anonamous comlication out. However, a strong column of earth hit me in my stomach, and I just barely launched myself out of the way in time to prevent it from smashing me. Ignoring the pain in my stomach, I jumped up and, with my newly adjusted eyes, dodged out of the way of another chunch of rock. I leaped in the air, hoping this person's eyes aren't as adjusted as mine are. During my air time, the complication in the mission had a confused look on her face, as though she couldn't tell where I was. I was directly in front of the complication, yet my feet hadn't touched the ground yet. I threw several punches at several spots where chi pooled in the body, and I heard the complication hit the ground just as I did.

Taking a running leap, I jumped out the window and grabbed the rope Mai and I used to reach this high up on the building. Using the rope to repel down the building, I felt a great deal of pride;

We had kidnapped Katara Waters.
