Chapter 3: What Happened In His Ship

Kellie dodged Sokka's kiss, but he came back.

Kellie was finally backed up in a corner, and there was only one way out.

"Sorry, Sokka." She blew a blast of fire at him. He narrowly missed getting bad 3rd degree burns, and this had been enough time for Kellie to slip out of the cell, and run down the hall.

When Kellie stopped to catch her breath, Zuko showed up.

"Kellie? What happened? I heard someone scream." Kellie looked up at him with an exhausted grin.

"That was me." Zuko cocked his head.

"Why did you scream?" Kellie looked down.

"Sokka tried to kiss me." She whispered.

"I'm gonna kill him." He whispered angrily, but Kellie held a hand out to stop him.

"Please, don't. I'm tired, hungry, and I'm sure that you are too." Zuko was about to retort when his stomach growled and he gave a yawn. She smirked.

"I'll take that as a yes?" Zuko wrapped his arms around her waist, and pulled her close.

"I guess so. After dinner, we need to sleep." Kellie rolled her eyes. She knew what was coming. In his room.

Kellie pulled herself out of his grip, and raced off to the dining hall. Zuko had a hard time keeping up.

When Zuko arrived, panting, at the dining hall, Kellie had already taken her seat, and was examining her nails. She looked up at Zuko and grinned.

"It's about time you showed up. I swear, it's been 20 years." Zuko laughed.

"How do you run so fast?" Kellie grinned more.

"I'm among top 5 girls in the state when it comes to cross country running. In other words, I among the best of the best." (A/N: in my dreams! I'm not in cross country. Yet. But still, I'm not fast. I doubt I'd be in top 30 in a race.)

"Cool."

Kellie looked grimly around the room. Only one bed. No cot, no mat, just one, queen-sized bed.

"Don't you like my room?" Zuko whispered in her ear. Kellie looked up at him.

"I like it, just not the bed." Zuko started to ask.

"Why-" Then stopped.

Oh. That's right. Only one bed.

"Don't try anything funny. Or I swear, you're a dead man. I promise. And I don't break promises." Zuko waved it aside. He took off everything except his pants, and climbed into bed.

Kellie changed into a pair of sea blue pants, and a midnight blue tank top.

As she climbed into bed, Kellie felt one of Zuko's arms wrap around her waist and pull her close to Zuko's bare chest. Zuko's hot breath rushed down her neck and made her shudder. Kellie could feel his heartbeat right underneath his skin. And the light scent of coal that surrounded him slowly put Kellie into a deep, and much appreciated, sleep.

Fwuffy! I'm not good with fluff, just give me time. And sum fan fics with a lot of it's own fluff. Then I get experience, and ideas. If u want or do not want fluff, just tell me. This story is still being worked out.

INSANITY AT ITS FINEST
