Scars surface Feelings supress

It was time for breakfast, just as the previous mornings. Hilda had gotten up ahead of everyone else, only able to prepair some rice. Not very much mind you. Once everyone saw the lack of food on the table. They all looked at Hilda.

"Hey dont look at me, stupid here didnt grab supplies." She said, pointing her thumb at Zuko. "The next island that we get to, were stopping to get supplies. Unless no one wants breakfast." with that, everyone began to eat the rice. Agreeing to stop at the next island to get some more supplies for their meals. Once they finished their small portion of breakfast, Zuko asked Iroh what the next island was. Iroh was hesitant.

"The fire nation." Iroh coughed out to his nephew. Basicly, it was the dock that Jhou was on in the southern air temple episode. Zuko unleashed a bit of fire from his fists.

"What!" He exclaimed. There would be a small chance that Jhou was there, but he never jumped to conclusions. Zuko stomped onto the deck and pouted. It was while he pouted that he felt a presents above him. He brought his head up to see Hilda standing on her hands with them on his shoulders, like that time she beat the shit out of him.He didnt make anything of it, he just kept pouting.

"Aww dont throw a fit widdle baby!" Hilda teased. Zuko just kept pouting. Like a spoilt child in a TOY store. Last time it was candy. She just grabbed onto the sleeves of his shirt again and threw him back, he was unable to stop himself, so he just hit the side again, not as hard as before though so he wasnt knocked out. He just pouted untill it was apparent that they were at the island. As they got off the ship. Of course, Jhou was there. He asked them what they were doing back here. Zuko told them they were only here to pick up things to eat. Then they were going to leave again. But he invited them for a drink at that place where they went in The southern air temple episode. Zuko refused, but Iroh told him not to be rude and told Jhou that they would love to. So they went to that place that I mentioned earlyer, and had a cup of tea. Zuko refusing to drink any of it.

"Prince Zuko. Is this your girlfriend?" Zhou teased. Both Zuko and Hilda shouted

"No!" After they shouted they glared at eachother.

"He is a stupid Jackass." Hilda hissed. Zuko glared.

"She's dumb as a brick!" Zuko hissed right back. Hilda glared.

"He's the Jackass who wont get any breakfast." Hilda hissed. That stopped Zuko from hissing back. He was really hungry, because of the light breakfast. Hilda smirked as Jhou changed the subject.

"I never really believed that. I mean, Zuko there is unlovable. Even his own father doesnt love him." Jhou said turning his body from them. with that, a peice of coal or something flung at Jhou's head. None of the sisters or anyone moved. "Who did that?" Jhou hissed as he turned to the unmoving guests. They all shared looks but said nothing. Jhou gave them all dirty looks.

"I did." Hilda admitted. She really hadnt.She stood upto Jhou, Zuko was nodding his head to her for her to sit down and shut up. But she didnt lison to him. Jhou gave her a dirty look. Worse than the one he was giving to everyone else.

"So. You young lady are an earth bender?" Jhou questioned. She nodded.

"Yes. I am." Hilda told him bitterly. Zuko just wanted her to sit back down and keep her mouth shut. But she gave him a look that to everyone else was an annoyed look, telling him to mind his own buisness. But Zuko saw what the real look was. It said: "no one talks to you like that but me." But she didnt say that. Zuko had to supress a grin. Which was alittle difficult.

"Your a hoe." Jhou unfairly taunted. Possably trying to get her angry. That was worse than Zuko's taunts. Also, it really hurt her feelings.

"Ass munch." Hilda hissed. Unable to think of a better excuse. Jhou smirked.

"Is that a challenge?" Jhou asked smugly.

"Is now!" Hilda hissed at him. Jhou just grinned.

"fine! Sundown" and basicly he said that same place Zuko said in that same episode. Gosh. I must like that episode. Everyone left the tent. Hilda aflame I should say. But I wont because she isnt a firebender.

"Hilda you'll get your stupid head blown off!" Zuko hissed at her. She smacked him before he could tell that she was going to hurt him.

"Well I dont give a damn if you think I can do it or not! I know I'll kick that basturds smug ass." Hilda hissed.

"We are suppost to get supplies! I dont want to lose the avatar's trail!" Zuko hissed at her. She smirked.

"You sound like a blood hound.All work and no play makes Zuko a dull boy!" She teased. Zuko pouted again. "For a 16 year old. You sure do throw alot of fits!"

"Shut up! What kind of girl are you anyway? You sure as hell arnt dainty or high mantnance." (sp? probably not. I hate that word..) Zuko hissed at her.

"Well your no knight in shining armor!" Hilda hissed right back. They argued for a good few hours, they saw the sun was starting to set. "well. Im gonna go kick ass now." With that, Hilda and everybody else walked to the place...that...yeah she was suppost to be at. Of course, Jhou was there, dressed as he was in the southern air temple episode. Hilda looked around. "Where is the earth?" What she ment was, where was the earth she could bend.

"There is none." Jhou told her, smug. Hilda just grinned.

"Fine. Although I am an earth bender, I can still kick your ass without the earth." She boasted. The battel began and Jhou threw some fire at her, she just barly was able to avaid it. She just could dodge for the time being. Everything around her was made of metel. Not earth, or bricks. She didnt know what else she could do but dodge for the time being.Then, a thought came to her, she suddenly stopped moving as Jhou attacked her.

"What the hell are you doing!" Zuko shouted at her. She cleared her throat.

"Something just isn't right
I can feel it inside
The truth isn't far behind me
You can't deny" She sang this part. Making everyone suprised. How could she be singing at a time like this? Jhou found an opening and as he shot a flame at her, she dodged it with ease, still singing. "When I turn the lights out
When I close my eyes
Reality overcomes me
I'm living a lie" This pretty much kept up as the fight went on,Her singing and dancing to avaid his attacks. but Jhou had burnt her blouse where her scars where, making her yelp out in pain.The burn had hurt her scars and made her eyes well up with painful tears.Zuko had to be held back by his uncle or he would have interfeired in the fight.

"But hes hurting her!" Zuko hissed. Iroh still held him back.

"Prince Zuko. Don't interfeir." Iroh orderd him, forcing him back.

"But Uncle-" Zuko protested. Zuko kept fighting untill he was out of his uncle's grip and on the feild, infrount of Hilda. Her eyes filled with painful tears yadda yadda yadda. "Commander Jhou, I wont let her get hurt by a dumbass like you." Zuko hissed. Jhou smirked.

"Okay then Prince Zuko. Do you wish to fight me?" Jhou asked the exiled prince. Zuko shook his head.

"I am in no mood." He hasnt been in the mood for a long time. Ever sence he started having these feelings about Hilda. He never felt like the old Zuko did. But he would hide it with taunts and fights with Hilda. Once the pain was gone from her wounds, Hilda stood back up and wiped out the pain tears and pushed Zuko out of the way.

"This is my fight damn it!" Hilda hissed at him. Zuko became false angry again.

"Fine! Let yourself get your stupid head blown off!" Zuko barked at her. Hilda glared at him.

"Wanna go right now princie!" Hilda hissed, getting into fighting position. Jhou waved his hand at them.

"Um. Your fighting me." He told her, pointing to himself. Hilda sweatdropped.

"Oh yeah." Hilda responded, walking to Jhou. "Lets continue!" With that, the fight resumed, Hilda doing much better this time. She was able to easily avaid the attacks he gave her. Then, she did what no other person had done. Not even the strongest fire bender did. She grabbed Jhou's arms and lifted him over her head. Everyone gasped. Jhou was at least 10 times her weight. But she was able to easily lift him over her head and throw him across the areana. The younger sisters of Hilda ran to her and hugged her.

"Big sister Hilda held that guy over her head!" They cheered, grabbing their sister's hands and jumping. Zuko would have admitted. Even he couldnt lift Jhou over his head and throw him with such streanth. They all walked back to the ship. That little scene played itself over and over in Hilda's head."Commander Jhou, I wont let her get hurt by a dumbass like you." What did that Jerk mean by that? ah well. Probably nothing. It was when they were halfway onto the ship, that Hilda snapped her fingers, as if saying "Oh yeah!" When she snaped her fingers, everyone looked at her.

"we forgot what we came here for!" Everyone sweatdropped and headed into the town to gather supplies. Once that was accomplished, they all returned to the ship in time for her to make Pasta Puttanesca. Which Zuko and the others ate happily. Of course, Hilda skipped out on dinner again to go to the deck. Zuko took notice of this. He finished his dinner before everyone else and claimed to be going to his room. Sence there was only two doors to the dining room, one was the kitchen, the other was the way to the many halls, he just happend to take the hall that lead him onto deck, where Hilda was. This is where he found Hilda stairing over the deck. Zuko approched her cautiously.

"Find the Avatar?" Zuko asked jokingly. Actually kind of serious. Hilda jumped back and told him to never sneak up on her like that again. "Okay okay. So. C'mon, tell me what gave you those scars."

"I will. If you tell me how you got yours." Hilda said to him. He was silent for a bit, then nodded. "You go first."

"Okay. Well. My father gave it to me. I refused to fight him and I got a scar and exiled." Zuko told her. Smugly grinning. He wanted to grin without it being smug but he couldnt. "Now you."

"I was stabbed." With that, there was a silence. "Fourteen times." Still, a long silence.

"By who?" Zuko asked her. She was silent.

"Firenation. When they killed my mother, they saw me looking at them, I got my sisters out without harm, but I went back for a binkie, two blankets, and a picture of our late family. Thats why I hate the fire nation so much. They gave me these purminite scars and bruises, and they killed my parents when I was really little." She told him, but she didnt look like she was going to cry. She just bottled it up again.

"Why don't I ever see you crying over it?" Zuko asked. She inched away from him a bit.

"One. I wont ever let you of all people see the tears I cry. Two, because my sisters depend on me to be strong, so I can't show weakness." She told him, starting to walk off from the deck. But he almost stopped her from leaving. But she got away too fast. She got hurt very bad because of the fire nation... Zuko thought as he staired out over the deck. He heard his uncle come up behind him.

"I thought you went to your room prince Zuko." Iroh told him. Zuko thought of the first lie that came to his head.

"I changed my mind." Zuko told him. Iroh noticed something about his nephew.

"You feel guilty about something." Iroh told him, Zuko shook his head.

"No I don't." Zuko lied again. Iroh saw through that one though.

"Yes you do. When you feel guilty, you get that look in your good eye. Uncle's intewishion." (sp?) Zuko just shook his head.

"I dont!" He shouted, stomping off to his room.
