Hello, everyone! I got some ideas from the manga Negima, so I raised the rating to Teen. Hope you like it!

Chapter: 7

In the throne room, Iroh, Kitten, and Zuko were having a chat. "So, Zuko, where are you taking my little Shonen on your date?" Kitten asked. "Well, I was hoping on taking her to the Dragon Bonsai Park." Zuko said blushing.

Iroh started sniffing Zuko. "Uncle! What are you doing!" Zuko asked. "I don't mean to be rude, nephew." He said. "But when was the last time you bathed?" Zuko answered. "I… uh… was just caught up with so many things that I just didn't have enough time."

Kitten pointed to a door. "Behind that door is a hallway. Just go down the hallway, and you'll be at the bathing hall. Besides, you need to be clean for your date."

"Thanks for telling me that, Kitten, but I have issues with water. I am a firebender, you know."

"Well, the water won't kill you. Just take it."

"No. It's okay. I'll just ----"

"Nonsense!" Kitten interrupted. "If you won't take the bath, then I'll have someone give it to you!" She took out a small, bronze gong from her sleeve. She hit it with a bronze drumstick. It noise almost shook the ground. A few seconds later, Shonen came in. She just came from the bathing hall. She was slightly wet. She wore a loose, slightly damp mini kimono, and her hair was in a towel.

"You rang, mother dearest?" Shonen asked. "What do you want?"

"Please take Zuko to the bathing hall." She said. "He hasn't washed since yesterday. Could you give him a bath, so he could ready for your date?"

Shonen nodded. She grabbed Zuko's foot and dragged him to the bathing hall. "Y'know, Shonen, I can walk well on my own." Zuko said. "Forget it, Zuko." She said. "By the time let you go, you're just gonna run off. So shut it!"

In the bathing hall, Zuko was amazed. The bathing hall was enormous. It looked like a huge indoor swimming pool that can fit 100 people. There were even several palm trees for decoration. "Okay, enough sightseeing, Zuko." Shonen said. "Now take off your clothes, so I can give you your bath." Zuko backed away from her. "I'm not going to take it off in front off you!" He yelled at her. "Besides don't you feel uncomfortable seeing a naked boy!"

She shook her head. "No." She said. "I'm pretty used to seeing naked men. I mean. Come on, 10 out of my 13 brothers run around naked in the palace. So hurry up and undress!"

"Okay, okay, sheesh! Don't have to yell. Just turn the other way so I can undress in peace."

"Alright." She turned away while Zuko undressed.

After he completely undressed, he wore a bathing kimono. Then he slowly went into the water. It wasn't that deep. It was only about 3-4 feet. "You can look now, Shonen." He said.

She turned around and in her hands was a small bar of soap and a small towel. She dipped the soap in the water and after that she rubbed it on the towel. "Hold still." She said. She began rubbing the soapy towel gently on Zuko's head. She untied his hair. Then she began to rub inside his kimono. She rubbed his chest. It made him feel sleepy. He leaned back and rested his head on her chest. This made Shonen blush.

However, this little togetherness didn't last long. They heard voices from outside. "It's my brothers." Shonen said. "We gotta hide! It they catch us, I'll never hear the end of it!" She pushed him into the water and went in with him. They hid behind some palm tree leaves. "How many are there?" Zuko asked. "Ten." She answered.

"Can you tell me their names, so I know who is who?"

"Alright." She pointed to each one as she said their name, not aloud of course. "Try to stay with me. That's Tori, Toru, Taru, Tara, Taro, Turu, Katari, Kataru, Katuru, and Kataro."

That's a lot of k's and t's there."

"Tell me about it."

They weren't really naked. They all had towels on. "Listen, Zuko. We have to get out of her before they catch us." Shonen said. "Why is that?" He asked.

"They are very protective. If they catch us like this, they'll think we're rushing and likely blame you. They'll even convince my mother that we shouldn't be together."

"Then let me go first. I can keep them busy, so you can escape." He ran out of the cover.

"Zuko don't!' She ran after him.

As they were running, Zuko slipped on a bar of soap and landed on Shonen. The impact knocked her unconscious. When her brothers saw this they were enraged. "Trying to naked with our sister, aren't you, prince!" Tori yelled to him. "It was a complete misunderstanding!" Zuko said. They didn't buy it. They began circling Zuko. Their entire fists began to catch fire.

Just when they were about to hit him, Shonen was able to stop them. "He's right, brothers!" She said. "We weren't doing anything! It was an accident!" The flames on their fist went out. "Alright then." Tori said. "We'll let it slide for now, but do it again, you'll be sorry. Now could you get off Shonen? It looks wrong."

Zuko got off Shonen and helped her up. They bowed to them and quickly left the bathing hall to get ready for their date. "Teenagers." Tori said.
