Chapter 3

Friends Forever

With Kaori

Kaori woke up in a warm room, the walls where metal with red fire nation flags hanging from the sealing to cover the walls, a red rug covering the metal floor and one of those tables that are really low to the ground with four dark red pillows around it. She was on a bed that was also low to the ground, with the same color pillows that where on the ground and red blankets. Kaori sat up slowly rubbing her head; as she looked around the room she noticed she was the only one in the room. She got up and walked towards the door, she opened it slowly and saw three guards standing by the door. One of them looked at her and said,

"Good you're awake. Prince Zuko will see you on the dock. Follow me."

Kaori followed the guard; the other two guards followed her. She knew the name Prince Zuko sounded familiar, but she didn't know who he was. When they got to the deck she saw Zuko she pointed at him as she said,

"You! I'm going to kill you!"

The guards grabbed her arms as she tried to run at him, she couldn't break free so stopped trying.

"Let her go." Zuko said as he got into a fighting stance.

Kaori ran towards him punching fire balls, Zuko dogged every one on problem, but on the last on he didn't pay attention to what was behind it. Kaori's foot hit him right in the face. Zuko motioned with one hand while rubbing his jaw with the other. Two guards imidetily grabbed her arms,

"Am I too much for you Zuko? You can't handle a little girl."

Kaori said still angry but proud of her self for hearting him.

"I see you have been pratcing. Take her to my room and tie her up."

Meanwhile on Katawise Island

Katara, Aang and Sokka where on their way back to camp,

"How could you let Zuko take her?" Katara screamed.

"She told me she would be fine." Sokka said in an innocent voice.

"You actually believed a fire bender?"

"Only the hot ones." Sokka said as quiet as he could.

"What?" Katara asked as Aang chuckled,

"Nothing."

When they finally got back to camp it was night

"Should we stay here for the night?" asked Katara.

"Yah, why not," Aang said all excited, "I like it here. Except for the part when Kaori got kidnapped, that part was bad."

"We can't stay here. The fire nation knows Kaori was with us and they have her. So, it won't be long before Zuko has invaded our camp. We don't know her enough to know if we can trust her with Aang's secret. I think we should go back to Sono Island they won't expect us to go back to where we just where."

Zuko's Chamber

Zuko walked into the room and saw Kaori tied up on the bed. He grabbed her chin so she couldn't turn away and said,

"How could you ever think you would get away from me? I have coughs you a number of times and every time you found a way to escape. How? How did you escape?"

Kaori just stared into his eyes with hatred, his eyes where red with oranges and yellows. They reminded her of fire, when he was calm they where calm, but when he got angry they where set ablaze, like a wild fire.

"Answer me, dam-it!"

Kaori just continued to stare; Zuko calmed himself down,

"Doesn't matter it wont happen again. Help me find the Avatar and life here can be quite pleasant."

"What, who said anything about life?" Kaori asked in shock.

"I did of chores. I want you to be my bride. Now tell me where the Avatar is."

"NO! I will not betray the Avatar he is my friend, no matter what you say nor do I will not betray a friend!"

Kaori said getting up and running toward the door. Zuko grabbed her arm and walked over to the bed and picked up the rope; Sori burned straight through it.

"It appears I have under estimated you. But you will tell me where the Avatar is, whether you want to or not."
