A Little Twist

Zuko's Ship

Kaori was asleep in Zuko's arms. Finally she was warm, Zuko warmed her body. His heat was all she needed to get energy, warmth and sleep made her finally comfortable. All she needed now was food. Out of nowhere there was a loud thud. Zuko shot up with a flame in his palm.

"Zuko don't leave me." Kaori said grabbing Zuko's arm as he got out of the bed.

Zuko looked at Kaori with the blankets wrapped around her naked body.

"… I have no choice. Promise me you will be here when I get back. And I will bring you food."

"I promise I will be here when you return. And if you bring me more food we can have some more fun." Kaori said laying back down looking ready for anything.

A huge grin swept across Zuko's face as he left the room closing the door behind him. Kaori wrapped the blanket around her and walked towards the door. She heard someone running towards the room, so she ran and jumped on the bed. The door swung open and Kaori saw Sokka standing in the doorway.

"Sokka! What are you doing here?"

"Rescuing you! Why do you look so surprised to see me? Or a better question would be why are you naked in Zuko's bed?"

"…"

"What were you doing with Zuko?" Sokka sneered.

"How do you know I was doing anything?" Kaori retorted.

"Because you are naked in Zuko's bed. What else would you be doing?"

"For your information, Zuko burnt my cloths off when I went to save you." Kaori defended.

"You came to save me?" Sokka asked walking into Zuko's room and sitting next to Kaori.

"Yeah, but when I got there, you were gone."

Zuko came running into the room and saw Sokka sitting next to Kaori.

"What are you doing in here water peasant?'' Zuko said as he walked over to the bed and pulled Kaori as far away from Sokka as possible. Kaori was standing against the far wall watching Zuko and Sokka fight over her.

"What were you doing to her?" Sokka said pointing in Kaori's direction.

"I didn't do anything she didn't want me to do." Zuko said looking at Sokka with a grin across his face.

"Tell me now! Dammit!" Sokka yelled trying to push Zuko out of his way.

When Sokka pushed passed Zuko, Kaori was gone.

"Now look at what you did!" Sokka said leaving the room.

"At what I did? You were the one who came and ruined our night." Zuko retorted following him out of the room.

Zuko and Sokka were walking through the halls trying to find Kaori, fighting the whole time. Zuko was constantly threatening to throw Sokka in a cell and every time he did, Sokka would start to walk faster. After they had been through the whole ship and not found her, Zuko put Sokka in the cell.

"Zuko get back here!" Sokka yelled through the bars.

"I'll deal with you in the morning water peasant." Zuko said leaving Sokka alone in the dark cell.

Zuko walked into his room disappointed that he did not find Kaori. He slowly closed the door behind him and went to go back to sleep on the bed, not realizing that Kaori was sitting on the bed until he sat down next to her.

"What did you do with Sokka?" Kaori asked pulling away from Zuko's kiss.

"I put him in a cell. Why? You don't still have feelings for him, do you?" Zuko asked looking her in the eyes.

"No, but…" Zuko cut her off.

"I you don't have any feelings for him then what's the problem?" Zuko started kissing her neck.

"I don't want him to get hurt."

"If you don't tell him he won't find out and won't get hurt." Zuko leaned Kaori back and rolled on top of her.

"I know, but it doesn't feel right knowing he is on the ship."

"Then pretend he is not on the ship." Zuko continued to kiss her neck.

Meanwhile In The Cell

Sokka was in the cell Kaori was previously in, so the bed was moved under the torch on the wall. Sokka had not sat down since Zuko left he stood at the door of the cell hoping that Kaori was safe, wherever she was.

"Kaori!" Sokka yelled through the bars hoping she was somewhere she could here him.

Previously, On Appa

"Aang be careful, someone might hear you!" Katara said in a loud whisper.

"I'm sorry!" Aang responded.

"I'll be right back." Sokka said jumping off Appa, "Get away from here until you see me on the deck with Kaori, then come down quietly and pick us up." Sokka continued with emphases on the "quietly." Aang and Katara flew away.

Back in Zuko's Room

"Zuko. I'm serous." Kaori said trying to push him off.

"So am I." Zuko sexily spoke pulling at the sheets wrapped around Kaori, "Now do that thing when you wrap your legs around me and pull off my pants."

"So you like that?" Kaori asked, as Zuko licked her stomach.

Zuko just looked at her with desire in his eyes; it was something she had never seen in his eyes.

If I tire him out, I can go save Sokka and get out of here. But if I leave, he will notice and track me down until he finds me. Then once he has me and Aang, he will have everything. He will not need to be gentle with me anymore. I have no doubt that he wants to marry me, and he knows once he has Aang, I will do anything he wants as long as he doesn't hurt him.

Kaori wrapped her legs around Zuko's waist. As she did, Zuko got this look of absolute pleasure on his face.
