Chapter One

Ty Lee couldn't say for sure when she started having sex with Azula. She only knew that her first time was clumsy, but excruciatingly painful… At twelve, maybe it was a bit too soon. She had heard from some of her older friends that sex was one of the most ecstatic experiences one could have… The warmth and the intimacy would swallow you whole if you weren't careful.

This most certainly wasn't so for Ty Lee. Azula called Ty Lee into her bed chamber and asked her to take her clothes off. Ty Lee, who had had a crush on Azula for quite a while already, agreed immediately. But then, Azula took out a leather cat o' nine tails and lashed Ty Lee, who cried out in pain as Azula used that moment to tackle the poor girl to the floor, and whipped her a few times before tying her up with ropes and leather, and smirking down at her with a madly sadistic look.

At first, Ty Lee was hurt. She felt terribly betrayed by Azula, who was supposed to be her best friend. Azula had asked her to make love to her, and Ty Lee had been excited. She was sure that Azula knew how excited Ty Lee would be. Then, she began torturing her.

Azula thrust against Ty Lee a few times before grabbing her tightly bound arm and using her firebending to leave a huge, hand shaped scorch mark on her forearm. The first time didn't last long. But for all the pain that Ty Lee felt, it seemed like it took so much longer. She didn't even 'cum' as her friends described it the first time. Azula kissed Ty Lee once, and then bit her on the ear before leaving her sobbing.

At first, she tried talking to Mai. But after a few times of trying, she stopped. It was pointless to involve Mai in her own problems. She loved Azula, and though it hurt now, maybe it would get better. Maybe Azula would be nicer in the future…

Two years passed, and things didn't change much. Azula became more creative in her tortures, in her sadistic sex acts. She learned to channel lightning, and used it to send electricity coursing through Ty Lee's body. As the electricity moved through her, she felt a terrifying and humiliating mixture of pain and pleasure. Soon, she began sending the electricity directly into her pussy and asshole. She begged Azula to stop, but that only seemed to make Azula more excited, her tortures worse.

These acts caused instant orgasm. But there was no joy in her cumming. Azula found incredible pleasure in harming Ty Lee. Every time Azula hurt Ty Lee, she was sure that she was going to die… But… Sometimes, she begged for death. Maybe death would be better than this existence that she was leading now. Maybe, death could make her happier, though she would hardly call what she was doing 'living'.

Azula always sent in an enslaved Waterbender to heal Ty Lee… Eventually. Sometimes, she let Ty Lee lie there for a while with her burns and electrical injuries for as much as an hour. Azula was very careful never to let Ty Lee out of her room until she was completely healed. Ty Lee loved Azula. But she was terrified of the monster that she truly was at the same time.

Ty Lee knew that her own loyalty to Azula was the only thing really keeping Azula out of an insane asylum, that if Ty Lee ever betrayed Azula, that the mad Fire Princess would snap. So, when she saw her opportunity to be free of the mad and evil, but somehow pathetic young woman, she took it.

Azula was about to attack Mai for saving Zuko. Ty Lee had to choose between friends. She chose Mai. Azula's mental stability began to degrade from there, and from what Ty Lee knew, Azula was still in a mental institution. She felt bad for Azula, and she visited her from time to time. Azula always ended up screaming profanities at her, though, and Ty Lee left in tears.

In the immediate future, she felt guilty about hurting Azula like that. She cared about her. She was still in love with her. But she couldn't let Azula keep hurting her. She had to stand up for herself, and she knew it was only a matter of time before Azula accidentally went too far and hurt her irreversibly or killed her.

After a while, she started going out with Sokka, who had recently broken up with Suki. The sex was incredible. Sokka was so gentle and kind, but Ty Lee couldn't accept such kindness anymore. Such gentle sex was somehow foreign to her.

She asked him to be rougher, but there was only so rough that Sokka was willing to be… And he really drew the line when she asked him to whip her and call her a dirty whore. She would have asked for worse if she wasn't scared that he would refuse. As it turned out, he did. Their relationship ended fairly quickly. After that, she mostly ended up with one night stands, and dedicated herself to spreading knowledge of Chi Blocking.

After a few years, Azula got out of the institution, and she came home. Ty Lee was the first person she went to see. Ty Lee came home one night to see Azula sitting in her living room, sipping some tea, and eating some cookies. She had lost a lot of weight, and her hair was still messy and tangled. Ty Lee sighed and sat down next to Azula, hugging her tightly.

"Azula… I-I'm so happy to see you again. Let me help you with your hair. When was the last time you took a bath?" She asked the former princess. Azula thought for a minute.

"Almost six weeks ago. I've been living alone on the streets for over a month. I… I can't use lightning anymore. I can only use the barest amount of fire to fight off attacks and defend myself.

"I… I need you in my life, Ty Lee… I-I-I'll do anything you want… B-but I need you to take me back!" Azula pleaded, tears flooding her amber eyes. Ty Lee gasped. She had never seen Azula so submissive before. She seemed desperate to start over. Ty Lee couldn't just take Azula back so easily, though. On that note, she couldn't just toss Azula out on the street. Azula was Ty Lee's beloved, her everything.

"I-I just need to know one thing… Ty Lee… I-I need you to answer me honestly…" Azula muttered, as she eased into the bath, sighing in relief as the hot water covered her bruised, filthy and emaciated body. Ty Lee found herself taking her own clothes off and getting into the bath with her, pulling Azula's head back. Azula screamed and swiped at Ty Lee with her jagged and cracked nails.

Azula had fallen very far from the prideful, powerful young woman she had once been.

"How dare you try to assassinate me!? I'll kill you! I'll kill you, you fucking bitch! I'll kill you!" Azula screeched manically. Ty Lee shook her head and kissed Azula.

"I was just trying to get your hair wet. I need to wet it before I can clean it… I might need to cut it.

"Your hair… It's so matted and tangled. I'm not sure what I can do with it right now. Take a deep breath, Azula, and loosen your muscles. I promise… Nobody will hurt you in this house." Ty Lee whispered soothingly. "Do you understand me, Azula? You're totally safe." Ty Lee finished, stroking Azula, finding that the former princess, once so prideful that she couldn't even admit that she had emotions, was leaning into Ty Lee, trying to be closer to her best friend… Her only friend, really.

Ty Lee found tears flooding her own eyes.

"Azula… Why did you come to me? I'm not complaining… It's so good go see you again, but why me? I betrayed you. You said it yourself."

"Y-you… I know you betrayed me… B-but… I was too afraid to go to anyone else. I knew that even if you wouldn't take me in, you at least wouldn't hurt me. But why! Why did you betray me! I demand an answer, Right now!"

"Azula… You may be part of the Royal Family. But you can't make me answer you. I think it's important that you know, though… You hurt me, Azula. Physically, mentally, emotionally…" Ty Lee said sadly.

"You called me horrible names. You demeaned me. You called me a filthy whore and said that nobody would ever love me. You told me that I deserved to be abused. And eventually, I started to believe you. You made it impossible for me to have healthy relationships.

"Do you know how many times I tried to have a normal relationship after I betrayed you? I tried with Sokka. He was such a kind person, and he wanted to have a relationship with me, he loved me. But… Eventually, we got to having sex…

"And… It felt amazing… He was so gentle, so sweet… But… I didn't feel comfortable with that. I had gotten so used to you abusing me during sex that I didn't know how I could experience anything else. I asked him to whip me and call me a dirty bitch.

"He broke up with me. He wasn't into that kind of thing. I've been reduced to being married to my work, and having one-night stands. You… No… I won't say that it's your fault. It's my fault that I didn't stand up for myself sooner. But… I loved you… I still do. I always will… But I couldn't let you keep on hurting me. I need you to understand that."

"I-I understand… I'm so sorry, Ty Lee. Y-you were… The only person whose opinion mattered to me. I craved your acceptance. Mai, I could tell wasn't really my friend. Zuko was too much fun to tease. But you… You always stuck by me. You never denied me anything. And… Well… I love you."

"I love you, too, Azula, hold on a second, close your eyes." Ty Lee said, moving her fingers gently through Azula's hair. Azula had beautiful hair as a young woman. Now, it was a matted, filthy mess. Ty Lee untangled it, going through Azula's hair bit by bit, pulling out dirt, twigs, leaves, and bugs, and looking at every inch of her head.

She hadn't had a good barber in ages. She would need to personally cut the ex-princess's hair. It would be shortish… But she could make Azula presentable again. Finally, she got the worst of the knots out of Azula's hair, after almost an hour. She looked down at her former mistress, and whispered for her to heat the water again. Azula used her firebending to heat the water to be comfortable again. She couldn't use the same powerful bending that she once did. But she could at least heat water.

Ty Lee took some scented soap. Azula sniffed the air. It was the first thing in ages, she felt that didn't smell like refuse. If she wasn't mistaken, it smelled like lavender, honey, and Cowgoat milk. It was a wonderful smell, and as Ty Lee wet her hands, lathered the soap and put it into Azula's hair, Azula sighed with happiness. For a while, Ty Lee scrubbed Azula's hair, and then washed it out.

After that, she took down some conditioner, and put that into her hair, washing it out as well, and then she helped Azula out of the bath, and got a warm towel for her, wrapping her tiny, frail body in it, and taking her filthy rags that she had come in, and debated whether to waste her time washing them, or just dispose of them… They were so torn that they would probably be damaged beyond repair in the wash.

And Ty Lee could make some more clothes for Azula… Or just buy some. She was wealthy enough. She had opened up a chain of Chi Blocking schools in the Earth Kingdom, and Fire Nation. She had one in Republic City. Her schools were praised for helping non-benders become just as capable as benders. Mai had enrolled in the school. She wasn't quite as nimble as Ty Lee. But she was getting the hang of it.

Ty Lee had some clothes that fit her. But she didn't know if they would fit Azula. They could try.

"Here, Azula. Put on one of my bathrobes…" She said to Azula, hugging her tightly. She didn't understand why. But as soon as she saw Azula again, she was ready to forgive… She couldn't forget the torture that Azula put her through. But she could forgive her old friend.

"Thank you, Ty Lee. Please, come closer…" Azula said quietly. Ty Lee moved closer to Azula, and was rewarded with a gentle kiss on the lips. Ty Lee gasped. This kiss was so different from what she had come to expect from Azula. She didn't know that Azula knew how to have anything other than rough sex that bordered on rape.

Ty Lee found her body heating up. Her pussy was beginning to leak and she could hardly stand still for wanting to jump on top of Azula and just have crazy sex with her.

"A-Azula…" Ty Lee breathed. "Th-that was amazing… I-I…"

"Don't say anything. I love you, Ty Lee… I want to spend forever with you…" Azula said gently. Ty Lee sighed, tears stinging her eyes. She wasn't ready to promise that yet. She felt bad that she had to refuse Azula on that issue.

"Y-you don't have to say it. I-I'll just… Put my clothes back on and get going… I guess I can go back to the Fire Nation. See if Zuko will let me live at the palace. I feel better than I've felt in ages, though. I'm clean. I'm warm. I'm not afraid of being killed in my sleep for my clothes, or my very few belongings. I'm happier than I've been since I can remember."

"Azula… I'm not kicking you out. I won't have you back on the streets. Republic City may not exactly be a hub of crime. But… There are organized crime groups that will kill you if you invade their territory. That would include begging for money on their turf. I don't think you know the city. In the Fire Nation, the punishment for organized crime was either life imprisonment or the death sentence. Those were both heavy punishments.

"Now, in Republic City, many crime families are essentially above the law. They have the power and the money to buy and bully their way out of trouble. Just stay with me for a while. I won't promise you that you can stay forever. But I've got a guest bedroom that's pretty nicely kept. You'll be safe there. You can sleep soundly knowing that you won't be attacked."

"Th-thank you, Ty Lee." Azula whispered, moving to kiss Ty Lee again. Ty Lee didn't resist, and they kissed deeply, making their way to the bedroom, where Azula slowly slipped off Ty Lee's bathrobe, kissing her nipples slowly, licking the nipple, causing Ty Lee to sigh in pleasure. Azula smirked, and slowly prodded her lover's pussy. Ty Lee had never felt this amazing before.

She had had sex before with people who treated her well. But Azula had always been the one she was in love with. Soon, Ty Lee exploded with pleasure all over Azula's hand and arm. Azula smirked in a truly confident manner. Her confidence right now was so different from before. Before, she just covered up her insecurities with a facade of confidence. But now, she was truly enjoying happiness.

She still wasn't a very confident woman. But in this moment, seeing how happy, how pleasured Ty Lee was beneath her, she was feeling a swell of confidence that was unlike anything she had ever felt. Ty Lee moved down to Azula's pussy, kissing her clit, causing a rush of pleasure for the former Fire Princess. Ty Lee used her Chi Blocking abilities to keep her from orgasming until she was ready for her to.

As the two moved together, Ty Lee's pleasure grew until finally, she could stand it no longer, and she came harder than she ever had before. She positively screamed with orgasm as Azula used her lightning bending just to send a light electric pulse into her pussy, causing a sensation beyond anything she had ever felt before. Finally, Azula collapsed. She hadn't had real exercise in a long time, and she was much weaker now than before.

The two reconciled lovers fell asleep in each other's arms, still kissing each other.
