The ubduction of Kaori!

Disclaimer: I don't own Avatar. I own Kaori and any Oc's. Yes that sounds about right. Also, -- I went braindead on the Kumi one. SORRY!

Kaori drew her blades and got into formation as Jhou's entire army ambushed her. As they surrounded her, Zuko saw the true dance of the daggers! It looked like she wasn't moving, but in reality, she was spinning like a top, and cutting all who got near her. So engenious! In a matter of minutes, his entire army was half wounded, half dead. She walked over to Zuko and cut him loose from the tree. Once loose, he and Kaori both left the camp site, but as they ran; Jhou hit Kaori in the head with a fire ball, knocking her helmit off, and knocking her to the ground. Zuko staired at her for a moment, waiting for her to get up; but after seeing that she wasn't going to, he shot a fire ball at Jhou and when he deflected it; he saw they were gone.

That was the first time Zuko ever had the chance to stair at Kaori without being called a pervert or a softie. She had such a pretty face. He didn't know why she wanted to hide it under that helmet. She had been knocked out, but not killed. She'd probably wake up in a few minutes. Zuko set her head on his lap, her bangs hung in her eyes; Zuko brushed them out of the way, and staired at her. He felt his heart go THUMP really hard. Kaori sturred, that made Zuko let go of her and set a pile of leaves on fire. It was too late to try and find their way back to the ship. So they'd have to camp out, alone, in the forest.

Her eyes flutterd open to see Zuko meditating infrount of the fire.

"Its about time you woke up." He smirked. Kaori stood up, but stumbled a bit.

"Jeeze...this is what I get for saving you. A migrain." She told him, sitting beside him and rubbing her head. "Still smarts."

"Don't you want to thank me?" Kaori turned her head to him in discust.

"Thank you? For what? Getting yourself kidnapped and having me come save you? I think you owe me a thanks." Kaori growled.

"Fine! I could have left you there when Jhou hit you, I'd be the smarter thing to do!" Zuko growled right back. She smacked him.

"You got saved by a school girl, that is just sad." Zuko smirked.

"Your not as scary as you think you are."

"Well your not as badass as you think you are!"

Kaori turned away from him, it was going to be a long night if they kept fighting like they were. The fire lit up the place where they would sleep, her migrain stayed for a long time, it throbbed. Zuko glanced over at Kaori after the few hours of silence. She had fallen fast asleep. He grinned to himself, she was quite cute when she was sleeping. Now, his deed was not ment to be sick; he figured she'd sleep more comfertably without the armor, so he took off her armor. Thats when he saw something he didn't really expect, her chest..he had actually noticed now. She had a pretty big chest. Not really big; but not real small either. He put his hand on it and squeezed it; he never saw a woman's breast before; when he was fourteen; he never really thought about it that much, when he left home, he was surrounded by men, and now he was all alone in the forest with a female. He thought it felt kind of weird. But in a good way! he squeezed it a bit harder, wanting to know how it really felt. He quickly took his hand back, knowing that if Kaori caught him, he'd be dead. He sat with his back to a tree, and felt his eyes get heavy. He yawned and closed his eyes. Bedtime.

He awoke to the sound of Kaori's yell. He opend his eyes and their fire was put out, and Kaori was gone. All that remained were her knifes.He didn't know where to go. Back to the ship? Or someother direction? He ran one way, and then the other. Quickly, he ran into some random direction, and found himself back at the town. He ran to his ship and asked his uncle if Kaori had come back. Iroh had been sleeping but awoken by Zuko's frantic yell.

"No, I thought she was with you." Iroh told him tiredly, rubbing the top of his head.

"Well she isn't anymore!" Zuko kept panicking, he had only taken his eyes off of her for only; or what felt to him like; a second!

Kaori opend her eyes, and saw that she was on a ship, not a very good one mind you. It was like a prison ship, but of course they don't bother to send her a nice ship with ugly colors. Oh no! They send her a crappy ship where bars are the walls! or at least, one of three.That is so unfair! A soldier walked to her, he wasn't from the fire nation. He was an earth kingdom soldier.

"What do you want with me?" She hissed. Preferring Zuko's company over this guy's.

"Like you don't know. You killed seven highschoolers here three months ago!" Kaori was silent, he was right. She had killed seven students three months ago. "Now, just sit back and relax while I take your murderus ass to Prince Kaisuke." The soldier walked out of the prison hold, leaving Kaori in the dark. Tears sprouting from her eyes. Your getting what you deserve...oh Zuko...please help me...

Zuko had somehow learned that Kaori was taken to Kumabori island. He wasn't told why, but he orderd that his crew sail twords Kumabori island. He sat alone in his room a great deal of the time. How could he allow this to happen so easily? If only he had quicker reflexes and able to help her, if only he took her back to the ship no matter what time of the day it was. He took this all as his fault, even though it wasn't his fault. He just felt there was something more he could have done to prevent this. Even thought he couldn't. He wounderd why he cared so much that she was gone, was it because she had some special meaning to him now? Or was it because he was suppost to take her where she wanted to go, and with her screaming; he had broken his promise? he didn't know, but he hoped Kaori was okay. He shook the thought away, it wasn't worth thinking that hard about. All he knew is that he had to help Kaori and that is exactly what he planned to do. He'd have plenty of time to figure out this all later, much later. He didn't want to worry over nothing; Kaori was a strong girl, he knew that. She'd be able to buy him some time...

She had shut her eyes again. Figuring it useless to try and escape. The water was what seperated her from both land and Zuko's ship. She'd most likely drown, and she'd rather have herself killed by a prince than drown anyway. A few minutes after shutting her eyes and accepting it. She, in her mind, saw herself and a girl that looked almost exactly like her. Except she had bigger breasts, bright red hair that looked almost like fire, pale skin, red eyes and a red tank top that at the bottom was ripped up to look like flames, a short; tight skirt that was ripped up to look like flames, and red platform boots. Her nails were painted bright red (Thumb), orange (index), yellow(middle), red(next to middle) orange (pinkie), and on her other hand it was that list backwards.

"Who are you?" Kaori asked. The girl swished her long red hair and smirked.

"You." Kaori rose an eyebrow, how could this girl be Kaori? Kaori was Kaori! "Well. Not you technically. More...Dark Kaori. Im another half of you. Remember how when we were little, you would think that momma left you all alone?" Kaori nodded. "Well! I was always with you. But you never let me out to play. For the next ten years, I was waiting for you to accept me. Now that you have; were friends now!"

"I don't need any friends." Kaori hissed at her dark self.

"Yes you do, and anyway. You can't not make me your friend. I've been with you all along!" She hissed right back. But it was more of a smirk really.

"Whatever. I just want to leave." Kaori sighed. Dark Kaori glared. I've wanted to leave ever sence you were born...you wretched girl!

omg hihi! and btw. BOLD ITALICS meansDark Kaori's thoughts.
