Chapter twelve

Music Night

It was music night on the ship. Iroh was so excited when he saw the sign up sheet it said:

Ryu… Burn (Usher)

Kaori... Bring Me To Life (Evanesce)

Zuko… Here Without you (3 Doors Down)

Kaori & Zuko… Broken (Seether/ Evanesce)

Fai… In The Still Of Night (The Five Saints)

Li & Long… Get Low (Ying Yang Twins)

Shen… Word Up (Korn)

Tao… What's Your Name (Jesse McCartney)

Ye…Someday (Nicklback)

Lok…On The Way Down (Ryan Cabrera)

Jin…Overload (Zappacosta)

Iroh was pleased that Zuko had signed up for music night, so pleased he went to go find Zuko. He searched the entire ship before he found Zuko and Kaori in his room singing, they sounded really good together.

"Zuko," Iroh said poking his head into Zuko's room, "Did you actually sign up for this or is this a prank done by one of the crew members?"

"Uncle, can't you see that we are practicing." Zuko said turning to look at Iroh standing in the doorway.

"Sorry for interrupting, continue." Iroh said leaving the room.

Kaori and Zuko continued to practice. Zuko singing his part with Kaori giving him tips and letting him know her secrets that made it so she wasn't so nervous. Zuko was a good singer and sounded even better singing along side Kaori.

Meanwhile In The Cell

"Dam!" Sokka said slamming his hand on the bars of the cell door, "How could I ever fallen for her? I knew she was a fire bender, I knew she would betray us."

"No you didn't." Aang said interrupting Sokka's thought.

Sokka didn't say anything he just looked across the hallway to where Aang was in a cell. They where all put into separate cells Katara was in the cell next to Sokka, and Aang across from them.

"Sokka, it's not your fault. We all trusted her, we all believed everything she told us." Katara said joining in on the conversation.

"I know it's not my fault but sometimes it feels better if you have someone to blame it on. In this case I can't blame anyone else cuz I'm the one who pulled her onto Appa."

"Sokka don't worry about it."

"I can't help but keep thinking it's all my fault."

Sokka was walking back to the bed when someone walked down the stairs into the hold. Sokka immediately turned and ran to his cell door to see who it was. As he got to the door heard someone turning a key in the door to his cell. He couldn't see who it was because they had turned off all the lights in the dimly light hold. So he already knew it was a fire bender. When the door slowly opened he saw Kaori standing in the doorway. She looked down holding out a bowl of soup.

"I drought you some food."

"Thanks," Sokka said as he took the bowl from her. "Did u bring some for Aang and Katara?"

"Mm-hm."

"Ok then, why did you turn down the lights?"

"Because that is what I told Zuko I would do." Kaori said looking a Sokka with a tear in her eye.

"Don't cry." Sokka said wrapping his arm around her.

"No, I have to." Kaori responded pulling away.

"You never have to cry."

"You do when you have fallen in love with your best friend…"

"I know you've fallen in love with me," Sokka said interrupting her, "and you don't have to cry."

"Would you let me finish?" Sokka nodded. "As I was saying you have to cry when you've fallen in love with your best friends enemy. I'm sorry but I'm in love with Zuko."

Kaori slowly backed out of the cell, gave Aang and Katara their food and she was gone.

Sorry this chapter was so short but I'm having a bit of writers block. So if you have any ideas or thoughts on were the story should go from here please let me know. I'm always glad to hear your thoughts.
