Chapter Seven

Zuko's room while Sokka was being rescued

"Get away from me you creep!" Kaori yelled at Zuko throwing a pillow at his head.

"Come on, I just want to talk." Zuko said blocking the pillow from hitting his face with his forearm.

"Oh, that is bullshit!" Kaori said throwing another pillow. "Just let me go. Let me go back to Sokka."

"Do you mean to tell me that you would rather be with that moron than me."

"I'd rather be with a moron than a bastard!"

"Don't be like that."

"You're the biggest pervert I've ever known. And I've known a lot. So just get away from me."

"If you don't want me close to you then stay by the bed and I'll stay by the door."

"Fine," Kaori said sitting on the bed crossing her arms, "but if you come any closer, I'm going to kick your ass."

"Fine," Zuko said sitting at the table facing Kaori, "So why are you dating the loser with the boomerang?"

"He has a name" Kaori spat.

"Oh, sorry." Zuko said sarcastically.

"And I am dating Sokka because he really cares about me."

"Are you sure he is not just in it for the sex?"

"I know he's not in it for the sex because we haven't had any."

"Are you going to?"

"That's none of your business! It's between me and Sokka."

"So in translation…no" Zuko crossed his arms, "Are you saving yourself for someone?"

"You need to learn when to keep your nose out of other people's business." Kaori turned her back to Zuko.

"You never answered my question."

"I'm done talking to you."

"Oh, come on," Zuko said walking towards the bed, "You can talk to me. After all we are going to get married in two weeks." Zuko sat next to Kaori and put his hand on her back.

When Zuko touched Kaori, she immediately turned and slapped him on the cheek.

"Touch me again and you die."

"Will you just relax!"

"Not until you leave me alone."

"You'll grow on me. Don't worry about it, you'll fall in love with me by the end of the week." Zuko said making a bed on the floor. "You can sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on the floor."

"Fine." Kaori said lying down on the bed facing the wall.

After about half an hour of watching Zuko sleep, Kaori decided that he wasn't going to wake up and do anything to her, so she relaxed and went to sleep. Shortly after Kaori went to sleep, Zuko woke up with a jolt.

That was a weird dream. Kaori was in my bed and… Zuko looked over to the bed and saw Kaori… It wasn't a dream. Wait a second if, I have her all to myself then why am I sleeping on the floor?

Zuko got up and walked towards the bed. Zuko stood by the bed just looking at her.

She looks so peaceful, like an angel. Zuko stroked her cheek as he sat on the bed.

"Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!" Kaori screamed suddenly sitting up knocking Zuko off the bed.

"What was that for?" Zuko asked rubbing his head where it hit the table.

"You said you would stay by the door!"

"You were asleep. How was I suppose to know you where going to wake up?"

"I was never asleep. How could I sleep with you in the same room as me?"

"……………………"

"Why won't you let me go back to Sokka?"

"Why should I?"

"Because I don't love you, I don't even like you!"

"That's not what you said the last time I did this." Zuko climbed on top of her and kissed her as he did the first time.

Kaori slowly opened her eyes as Zuko pulled away.

"That was great." Kaori said still in a trance.

"You said it." Zuko responded in shock, "You mean you actually enjoyed it?"

"I already told you, you are a great kisser. What do you think about moving the wedding?" Kaori asked grabbing Zuko's collar and pulling him in for another kiss.

"That was a big step forward in our relationship. Just five minutes ago you didn't even like me. What's going on in your head?"

"If I tell you will you give me my own room and take me out of that scary, wet, dark, and smelly cell?"

"That depends on what you tell me." Zuko said giving Kaori another kiss.

"So, you want to know what I'm thinking?" Zuko nodded his head. "I'm thinking of you, and Sokka. Of leaving Sokka but not telling him, that's where you come in."

"This sounds good. Just tell me what I have to do."

Zuko leaned in for another kiss only to get pushed away.

"Well, step one is," Kaori said as she slid out from under Zuko "I'd learn not to be so gullible."

Kaori opened the door and was half-way to the hold to free Sokka by the time Zuko left his room. Little did Kaori know that Sokka was already on his way to an island.

"Sokka…" Kaori looked in the cell they were in before and Sokka was gone, "Sokka? Ryu? WHERE ARE YOU!"

Kaori turned around hoping to find a place to hide before Zuko could find her. Kaori ran out of the hold and was going to run back into the main part of the ship when she saw Zuko in the doorway.

"Oh, shit…" Kaori muttered to her self.

"There you are!" Zuko yelled at her.

Kaori turned and ran back down the stairs. Zuko ran after her yelling,

"There's nowhere to hide down there!"

Kaori hid behind the door to the cell. All she had to do was wait for the opportune moment to knock Zuko out and run.

"You know I am going to find you, and when I do you will never forget it." Zuko said as he walked down the stairs, " Do you really thing that door is going to hide your fat ass?"

"My ass isn't fat, no part of my body is fat."

"Is that so?"

"My body is fit enough to kick your ass!"

Zuko threw a fireball at her, she dodged it.

"I know how to kick your ass too. Plus, you don't have enough room to doge these." As Zuko said this, he shot two fireballs at her that caught the sides of her red kimono on fire. Kaori immediately started to put it out. When the fire was finally put out, all that was left was one piece covering her breasts and another from her feet to her waist, a strand in the back connected both pieces.

"Told you their wasn't enough room for you to doge anything I throw at you."

"I can take anything you can throw at me!" Kaori retorted.

"Are you sure?" With that Zuko lunged towards Kaori.

Zuko landed on top of Kaori, knocking her off balance as they fell to the ground.

"Where's Sokka?" Zuko asked not getting off of Kaori.

"I don't know. Now just get off of me!" Kaori said pushing on Zuko's chest trying to push him off.

"Never. You are staying where I can see you until we get married."

"So, you have to stay on top of me to keep an eye on me? How are you going to catch the Avatar if you are on me?"

"You do have a point. I guess we will just have to do everything together."

"Now, when you say everything, you don't mean everything."

"I mean everything, from finding the Avatar to sleeping, side-by-side twenty-four seven." Zuko said getting off of her and grabbing her by the wrist and dragging her back to his chamber.
