DISCLAMER: As cool as it would be to own The Avatar, I don't. But I do own Kaori, Ryu and the plot.

Chapter Nine

Fallen Love

Zuko's Ship

Kaori was sitting on Zuko's bed watching him sleep by the door; every time she got close he woke up. There was no way for her out get out of the room. If she hurt him he would yell and the she was sure there were guards standing right outside the room that would come barging in. Kaori was out numbered and she knew it. As long as she didn't hurt Zuko she didn't have to sleep in the cold dark cell.

"Kaori," Zuko moaned slowly wakening up, "are you still here?"

"Where else would I be?" Kaori responded sarcastically.

Zuko turned to look at Kaori; she was in a new pair of Zuko's old clothes, sleeves cut off at the arms. And the pant legs cut off so the cloth didn't rub against her wounds.

"Kaori" Zuko said looking at her in a daze leaning back on his arm while lying down in his bed.

"What?" Kaori responded annoyed.

"You are the most beautiful girl I have ever laid eyes on."

"Are you feeling ok?" Kaori said crouching down to feel Zuko's forehead.

"Yeah, fine." Zuko smirked grabbing Kaori's hand off his forehead and pulling her under his muscular body.

"Zuko let me go!" Kaori said pushing on his chest trying to get him off from on top of her.

"Never…"

Zuko pressed his body against Kaori's. He smoothed his hands across her cheek and brushed her hair away from her eyes. She had nowhere to go. Her cuts reopened under the pressure of Zuko's body, but that didn't stop him. Kaori sadly looked to Zuko's eyes. His pleasure came from her pain.

The Island of Kimi

Sokka was sitting on the bed thinking about what was going on at Zuko's ship. He wanted desperately to go and find her to make sure she was ok.

"Sokka what are you thinking about?" Aang questioned sitting next to him on the bed.

"…What…?"

"I said, what are you thinking about?" Aang repeated.

"Oh… About Kaori and what Zuko is doing to her right now." Sokka sighed.

"He probably isn't doing anything to her and if he is, she can take it."

"How can you stay so positive? She has been on Zuko's ship alone for almost twenty-four hours."

"It's my job too stay positive."

"Sokka, Aang, want to come to the diner with me?" Katara said walking in the room, "Mai is going to meet us there."

"Who is Mai?" Sokka asked standing up.

"She is the girl who brought us to the inn." Aang said standing up a walking towards the door.

Zuko's ship

Zuko took Kaori to her cell and left her in the dark to clean out her reopened cuts.

"Do not give her any food, unless instructed otherwise by me. Give her three cups of water a day, one for each meal." Zuko told the guard as he left the room, "Oh yeah," he stopped walking, "if Ryu comes down here, don't let him near her."

The guard didn't say anything he just nodded his head.

Kaori slowly pulled the bed from its dark corner of the room to a spot under a torch. She sat on the bed, knees hugged to her chest wishing she had someone next to her to keep her warm.

As it got colder, Kaori got more desperate for heat. If she started a fire in the palm of her hand it would draw heat from her body. All she could do was sit there and hope Zuko would come and take her back to his chamber.

A week had gone by and Kaori had never left her cell, she had no energy because she hadn't eaten in three days. And even then, if she was given food, it was only a piece of bread and a small bowl of soup, not enough to fill her empty stomach. She hadn't seen Sokka and was beginning to wonder if he would ever come to rescue her.

Zuko came down the stairs from the deck and dragged her to his chamber once again.

"How are you feeling?" Zuko asked knowing the answer.

Kaori didn't answer; she just gave him a cold stair.

"Good, I hoped you feel that way."

"Zuko, just leave me alone." Kaori said climbing under the blankets of Zuko's bed facing the wall.

"It's a good thing you're lying on the bed, but you're not going to sleep."

"So what am I doing?" Kaori moaned.

"I'm glad you asked." Zuko said as he climbed into the bed next to her.

"Get away from me." Kaori growled.

"It's my bed."

"Your so immature…" Kaori slid as far away from Zuko as possible.

Zuko scooted up behind her and put his arm around her, pulling at her shirt.

"Stop." Kaori said pushing Zuko's hand away.

"It's my shirt." Zuko continued to pull at the shirt.

"Fine." Kaori said taking off the shirt, which left her in her bra, and placed it on Zuko's head. "Now leave me alone."

"No, now I want my pants." Zuko had a smile on his face looking at Kaori in her bra who was trying to ignore him. "Did you hear me?"

"Yes, but you're not getting them."

"Oh, really."

Zuko went under the covers and started pulling the pants down to her ankles. As Zuko pulled the pants down Kaori wrapped the blanket tightly around her body. Zuko came out from under the covers holding the pants.

"Thank you."

"Now will you leave me alone?" Kaori asked rolling over to face Zuko.

"Not even close." Zuko whispered kissing her neck.

Zuko wrapped his arm around her and pulled her so close to him that there was no space between their bodies. Kaori looked away as Zuko tried to kiss her.

"Come on, you know you want to…" Zuko said pulling Kaori even closer making it hard for her to breath.

"No I don't, now let me go. I can't breathe." Kaori pushed on Zuko's chest with all the strength she had, but it wasn't enough to move him.

"Nice try." Zuko whispered moving her hands and pulling the blanket off of Kaori.

"Zuko stop, please. You're hurting me." Kaori shivered feeling the cool air touch her revealed body.

"I know..." Zuko whispered kissing Kaori's shoulder.

"Zuko, you need to stop." Kaori whimpered.

"Why?" he answered in his sexy tone.

Zuko was making his way up Kaori's neck, looking for the spot on her neck that he knew would weaken her. When he stopped it was only for a few seconds so he could take off his shirt hoping his muscles would help.

His muscles are amazing. Maybe I should give him what he wants before he forces me to do it. Good thing my cuts are healed or this would really hurt.

Zuko kept kissing her and, unexpectedly, Kaori took off what was left of the blanket and wrapped her legs around Zuko. She pulled her hair down and used all of her leg strength to pull off his pants. Zuko, who was still laying on top of her, pulled away and looked at Kaori, she wrapped her hands around his neck and pulled his head down and whispered in his ear.

"The spot you are looking for is right here…"

Kaori pushed him down so his head was above her stomach, she pointed to a spot below her belly button. Zuko started to lick her skin while looking at Kaori's face, a smile going from one side of her face to the other. Zuko slowly crawled and made his way up her body stopping at her lips, his hands making their way up her legs grabbing at her underwear.

"Don't tell Sokka." Kaori whispered pulling out of a very intense kiss.

"As long as you don't tell anyone, including Ryu." Zuko gasped wanting more.

"Fine." Kaori said letting his tongue slide back into her mouth.

Zuko continued to kiss her as he wrapped his arms around Kaori and grinded his hips on hers on top of her. Pulling her towards him, her back was arched in pleasure.

Meanwhile on Kimi Island

Katara, Sokka, and Aang where in the diner having a huge dinner.

"This is so good." Sokka said with a mouth full of food.

"Sokka don't talk with your mouth full." Katara said glaring at Sokka.

"Well, sorry." Sokka responded sarcastically.

They continued to eat their meal even though they were all worried about Kaori.
