Chapter Eleven: Betrayal

Disclaimer: You know it. I don't own Avatar. I do own General Xokku, Yoshiro and Kyushu Island! MINE!

I'm having major writers block :( I promise the next chapter will be longer!
"General Xokku was ordered by MY father-," Zuko was interrupted.

"Can you stop rubbing it in?" Yoshiro said.

Silence.

"General Xokku was ordered by my father that he and his division of the army to get you and…kill you. And bring back Kaiko. Unfortunately, your idiotic father-,"

Yoshiro gave Zuko a death glare.

"Unfortunately, your father was burned, along with the house that you and your parents lived in. So your mother thought she could get away from the Fire Nation, which no one EVER has-,"

"AHEM!" Yoshiro said.

"Your mother thought she could get away, so she brought you into the forest. Then General Xokku told her to give him the baby. She refused. He burned her to death. Then he WAS going to kill you, but he didn't. And the end," Zuko said.

Yoshiro was quiet.

"Well, that's the truth."

"I…can't believe he…he…killed my real parents…" Yoshiro felt her tears slide her face.

I better leave her alone. Last thing I want is for her to bite me.

Zuko left her, as Yoshiro silently cried.

He slid out the door.

"So Zuko, how was your talk with your girlfriend?" Commander Zhao was near the door.

"Yoshiro is NOT my girlfriend! I don't even like her! And what are YOU doing here?" Zuko growled.

Zhao! That idiot! How long has he been standing there? I don't even like Yoshiro!

"I just came back from gathering more supplies," Zhao said, plainly.

"You're up to something Zhao, and I don't like it," Zuko said, suspiciously.

"I was just passing by, not doing anything," Zhao walked on, Zuko staring at him.

Zuko walked back to his room.

"You know. I don't get this. Why are you searching for the Avatar?"

"Your father IS the Fire Lord Ozai?"

I thought my life was difficult, because I was banished from my own home. At least I have a father, unlike her. Why did her father leave the Fire Nation Army? That was stupid, just to leave for some girl. And now they're both dead.

"Well, now that I told his daughter the truth, he should let me go now," Zuko headed for Xokku's quarter.

"General Xokku!" Zuko knocked on the door.

"Did you tell her?" Xokku was sitting at his desk.

"Yes. Now about your part of the bargain," Zuko was leaning against the wall.

"Okay. I'll let you go."

"First you keep the baby girl, and now you promise this bratty teenagerfreedom? Are you asking for execution?" Zhao appeared.

"Zhao!" Xokku was shocked.

"I knew you were up to something!" Zuko said.

"I thought you stopped for supplies," Xokku said.

"You really thought I stopped for supplies? I stopped at Kyushu."

"Kyushu? But that's where…"Zuko thought of the place.

"The Fire Nation Military Base. Fire Lord Ozai just happened to be there," Zhao smirked.

"You aren't going to…" Xokku feared the worst.

"I'm sending you to be executed of high treason," Zhao said.

"What are you going to do with my daughter? You better not harm her!" Xokku yelled.

"Oh, Yoshiro? I haven't really thought about that…"

"If you harm her, I swear-," Xokku threatened.

"I wouldn't worry about her, General Xokku. I would worry about what happens when Fire Lord Ozai executes you!" Zhao said.

Zuko tried sliding out of the room, but Zhao caught him.

"And where do you think you're going?" Zhao asked.

S.E.: Yeah, yeah. Short chapter. I have writers block :(

Chi: ...you have a block?

Natasha: Chi, you fathead. Of course she doesn't

Chi: Huh?
