Disclamier: Sorry, I dont own Avatar or any of the original characters. I only own Kyumi.
Chapter 9 A capture and bickering
Katara's POV:
"SOKKA! DO SOMETHING!" I screamed
"WHAT! IM UP HERE, HE'S DOWN THERE!"
"YOU ARE SUCH A LAZY A-- I cut myself off before I could get the whole word out of my mouth. "APPA!" I heard Aang screech. I looked to see Appa's side covered with black. A fireball had hit him. I took off my coat and started to slap the little flame out. "There's no way out of this Aang!" I said. "Katara, dont worry, I--WHAO!" Aang screamed as Appa lunged downward. "APPA!" I screeched. He had caught fire again, this time I couldent put it out. He was injured badly. We were headed strait to Zhao's ship. This couldent be good. I held on to Sokka's arm as we came to a sudden halt on the deck. "Well, well, The Avatar has come to me" Said Zhao with a cold-as-ice smirk. Aang jumped off of the burned Appa ready to fight. "You let us go, I wont hurt you!" He said bravely. "A little boy is going to hurt me? HA!" He laughed. He suddenly sent flames to Aangs stomach. "AANG!" Sokka and I yelled together. Luckily, Aang wasent hit but this wasent looking to good at all. I let go of Sokka's arm and started to jump off Appa when Sokka grabbed my hand. "NO!" He said. It was really hard to get by with something like this around Sokka but an idea popped into my head. I smirked and kicked him in the "Spot". He rolled over on Appa painfully clutching himself. I then jumped down and ran to help Aang. He was now sending great blast of wind at Zhao. However, He was no weaker himself. He kept with the flames. Constantly kicking fire from his heels. I remembered the time I had helped Aang with his waterbending. The time the pirates attacked us. I remember how he had made the huge wave that I failed to. "If I can only do this now!" I thought. I stepped over to other side of Aang. "Katara! Help!" He said as he dodged another fireball and then put all of his effort into blowing Zhao down. "Dont worry Aang!" I said. I looked down at the water below me and raised my hands. "Shift your weight, Shift your weight" I repeated to myself. The wave started to form but just when it started to get big, it plopped back down into the ocean. "AHHH!" I yelled in fustration. "KATARA! DO SOMETHING!" Aang yelped trying to hold Zhao off. I thought for a moment before deciding to use the water-whip. It was small but anything would help right now. "ERRAHH!" I growled as I moved the water around my head. I carefully aimed it toward Zhao. "TAKE THIS!" I screeched. I snapped his eye harshly with the water. He held it in pain.
"C'mon Katara!" Said Aang as we started to run but Zhao kicked some more flames at us. Suddenly we heard a warrior cry. It was Sokka. He jumped over on Zhao's back with his dagger. He tried to jam it into him but he had on some of the thickest armor any of us had ever seen. Zhao knocked him off. Aang started to do more airbending when ropes suddenly went around our hands. Two firebenders dragged us down into the prison chambers. We were thrown into a cramped, smelly, cell. "Your little friend will join you in a moment if he lives" Said one of them. I growled at him with Anger and tryed to pull free of the ropes. They were tied painfully tight.
Zuko's POV:
"Why cant you just understand that I need him to regain my honor! I wont hurt him!" I yelled at Kyumi who was standing next to me. We had been bickering ever since this morning. Why did females have to make everything so difficult! AHHH!
"He's my friend! You wouldent know since you dont have any!"
"ERRRRRR! just try to understand Kyumi! GOSH! And I do have friends!"
"Name three"
"I, uh, well...dont change the freakin' subject!"
"I WILL NOT LET YOU GET HIM! I WOULD STRANGLE YOU BEFORE I WOULD LET YOU DO THAT!"
"YOU ARE SO STUBBORN!"
"LOOK WHO'S TALKING FIREBOY!"
"YOU WILL CALL ME PRINCE ZUKO!"
"I WILL CALL YOU PRINCE BUTTSO!"
"OUCH!"
"TAKE THAT!" Kyumi said as she walked off. My foot was now throbbing where she had stomped it with all her might. "Why do I have to like her! WHY!" I said. I walked down the hall and into my room. I wasent expecting to find the door locked, however. BANG BANG! "GO AWAY!" I heard Kyumi scream. "LET ME IN! ITS MY ROOM!" I was on the verge of exploding. "NO!" She yelped. "THATS IT! I--"
"Prince Zuko!" My uncle's voice souned urgent.
"WHAT!"
"I thought you and Kyumi both would like to know that Zhao has the Avatar in custody"
"WHAT?" Mine and Kyumi's voice blended together. She slammed open the door and grabbed my uncle's shoulders. "WHAT!" She screamed again while shaking him as hard as she could. "Im sorry Kyumi, Thats what I've been told, now can you please stop shaking me? I think Im going to throw up" He said. "Oh, sorry" She said. Uncle ran off through the hall with a hand over his mouth.
"Nice going" I said.
"WE DONT HAVE TIME FOR JOKE'S YOU POOP BRAINED BUTTHEAD!"
"HEY! DONT CALL ME--"
"C'MON!"
Kyumi dragged me onto the deck. "We need to find a way to stop him from hurting Aang! He's ruthless and he'll kill him if he has to! Tell the captain to track down Zhao's ship!" Kyumi was obviously a big stresser. "Kyumi--" "DONT KYUMI ME! PLEASE ZUKO, PLEASE!" Tears started streaming down Kyumi's face. "Wemon are so emotional" I thought as I hugged her to me. She continued to cry as I shushed her. "Please Zuko!" She whispered into my shirt through her sobs. "Kyumi, I-I'll do what I can" I said as she parted from my embrace. She ran toward the captain's room.
Kyumi's POV:
"CAPTAIN! TRACK DOWN COMMANDER ZHAO'S SHIP!"
"Im sorry miss, I cant unless the prince orders me to"
"Do it" I heard Zuko behind us. The captained nodded and started tending to the matter. Zuko and I walked out of the room. "Thank you" I said. Zuko leaned in to kiss me but I stepped back. "Later" I whispered. "We need to get this over with first" I walked back onto the deck as Zuko went to his room, probably to meditate. I looked out over the water as the sun started to set. "Be safe you guys" I whispered into the breeze.
Sokka's POV:
"OWWW!" I yelled as I was thrown into a small cell. I looked up and saw Katara and Aang. "SOKKA! YOUR OKAY!" Katara and Aang yelped together. "Yeah, except for one thing" I turned my eye's down to my arm. It was rapped in cloth. "Oh my gosh!" Katara whispered with sadness. "WHAT DID HE DO TO YOU! THAT OLD--" "Shh, Katara" I whispered. "Dont worry, we'll find a way out. We'll make him pay"
Okay, so was that better than usual? I spent extra time planning this one out:) Hope everyone enjoyed it! Please review!
Zuko: Why do females have to be sooooo complicated?
Kyumi: We're not! Men are! They think they can do everything!"
Zuko: We can!
Kyumi: Yeah, right! You cant wear lipstick in public, you cant smell good like we do, you cant--
