I don't know if this has been obvious, but I have NO idea where this story is going. I've been wingin' it chapter by chapter, so I'm glad you like my randomness.

I also noticed that I didn't put a disclaimer, so, here it is:

Disclaimer- Let's see, if I owned Avatar, this would be on the air, and there'd be more fights between Zhao and Zuko.

CHAPTER SIX- Arguments That Go Nowhere

When Tsuyosa awoke, she immediately noticed one thing:

There was sand EVERYWHERE.

"What the hell?" She mumbled, sitting upright. It was night already, and next to her she saw Zuko, fast asleep.

Or unconscious, same same.

"Wait, oh, that's right…" she then remembered what had happened.

(yay, flashback!)

Tsuyosa and Zuko took a deep breath before hitting the water. Crashing into the waves, it became apparent to the dragon that the prince couldn't swim (1)

'Idiot! Why didn't he say something?' she thought. Quickly, she grabbed the teen and made her way to the surface. But as soon as the two could take a breath, a wave knocked them back under.

Spiraling downwards, Zuko was panicking, keeping a tight hold on Tsuyosa's hand. Turning, the dragon saw why. Zhao's ship was heading right for them.

Twisting around, she began swimming down, dragging Zuko with her. The boy looked utterly confused as to why they were going away from air, but did his best to keep up. For a second, it looked like Zhao was going to hit them, but in the end, the ship passed over them; motor and all.

Now to get back up.

In the wake of the boat, huge waves knocked the two around. Racing to the surface, Tsuyosa could feel her head spinning, and Zuko had stopped moving.

'No, No! You are NOT dieing on me, scarface!' her lungs felt like they were going to crack, and her ears had to be bleeding, which would attract all sort of problems.

Finally, they broke the surface. Gasping, the dragon lifted Zuko onto her back for him to maybe get air (2). Looking around, there seemed to be a bit of land up ahead. It was a long shot with Tsuyosa being so tired, but she had to try.

"If you live, you owe me big, scarface."

"I guess I passed out. But we seemed to have made it!" Slowly, she crawled over to the prince. He seemed paler then normal, but no signs of injury.

"No breathing…" She mumbled. Looking up at the starry sky, she glared.

"I bet you're having a good laugh about this, aren't you?(3)" Sighing, she looked back at the unconscious teen.

"Where the hell's a Waterbender when you need one?" Closing her eyes and praying he didn't wake up, Tsuyosa pressed her lips to Zukos and tried to get air back in his lungs.

'It's not a kiss. It's NOT a kiss!' she thought, trying it a few more times. After about a minute, she leaned back as the prince began coughing up water. In no time, he was sitting upright, alert and wondering where the hell he was.

"You gave me a scare." Tsuyosa laughed. Zuko glared.

"I tried to tell you: I CAN'T SWIM!" he yelled.

"Well, we're alive. That's all that matters!" Standing, she dusted herself off as much as possible. Zuko followed, wobbling just a bit.

"Where are we?" he asked. Another nervous laugh from the dragon made his stomach drop. This wouldn't be good.

"Well, the ship went that way," she pointed north, "and we were only a mile or two behind it, so…"

"We're still in the Fire Nation…" Zuko groaned.

"I hate you." He said, sitting back down. Tsuyosa glared.

"Well maybe I should have left your sorry ass on that boat of yours so you could go in circles the rest of your life!" she yelled.

"Maybe you should've! At least then I would be alive!"

"You are alive, Mr. I-can't-swim-but-I'll-let-the-goddess-drag-me-overboard!"

"I tried to tell you, Miss Can't-steer-a-simple-boat!" He yelled back. Getting up, he began walking into the small forest behind them.

"Where do you think you're going!" Tsuyosa yelled.

"I don't have time to waste on you! If I'm stuck here, I won't starve to death!" he growled, not looking back. Within moments, he was gone.

"Wa-wait! You don't know what's in there! GET BACK HERE, SCARFACE!" without pausing, she ran after him.

(1) I have never, NEVER, been afraid of water or not been able to swim (I scared the hell outta my mom when I was 6 months old) so I don't know what people who can't swim feel like.

(2) Could he have breathed? (sweatdrop)

(3) Case you couldn't tell, she's yelling at the God/Gods of the universe.
