Saved by a Waterbender

AN: PLEASE REVIEW! Haha, no, Kushai's not going to be annoying Prince Zuko throughout the whole story, sorry! JUST saw the episode, Jet. WHAT A JERK!

Prince Zuko

Prince Zuko was shot another fire at the guard. For a change it wasn't because he was angry. He was training.

The guard hopped out of the way, sending a smaller flame at Prince Zuko, which he easily dodged.

"Prince Zuko, the girl, she must be hungry," Uncle Iroh said as more of a question than a fact.

"UGH! I am training Uncle!" Prince Zuko aimed a vicious flame at the guard in anger. He wanted nothing to do with the girl, what if he….

"Prince Zuko, she has no choice but to be here. You must at least give her food," Uncle Iroh waved a hand to the guard, saying he was excused. The guard scuffled off, scared that the Prince would send more flames at him.

"Fine, but she will have to make her own brekfeast," Prince Zuko turned around only to stop and see Kuhsai about to jumo off the ship.

"UNCLE! You let her out! GUARDS! GET HER!" Prince Zuko shouted as he ran over to the rail of the ship where the girl was getting ready to jump off.

"AH!" Kushai shrieked. She swung herself over the side and splashed into the water.

She started to waterbend herself forward, but somebody made a splash beside her, grabbing her.

"LET….GO! AGH! NO!" She flung her body violently from side to side as he held her tightly.

She shoved a burst of water at him, causing him to fall back 20 feet. Uncle Iroh gasped, Prince Zuko had too much armor, heavy armor, it would be impossible for him to swim!

Prince Zuko struggled to keep over the water, in fact he was slowly sinking. Kushai looked back to see Prince Zuko gasping for breath. No, she couldn't let it happen….it had happened once…..it wouldn't happen again……

Kushai turned around and dove down in the water at an amazing speed.

Prince Zuko was now 10 feet underwater. She grabbed him and pushed herself up with a powerful surge of waterbending.

Prince Zuko took a long breath once he was above the water. But soon found himself being lifted up by a wave of water. Surprisingly the stream of water set him down gently.

He found Kushai standing over him with a face of……concern was it?

"PRINCE ZUKO!" Uncle Iroh ran over to his nephew. "Are you alright?" His Uncle asked with the same concern that Kushai had in her eyes.

"I'm fine!" Prince Zuko got up quickly.

"Kushai, my nephew owes you one. The fire nation owes you one," Uncle Iroh bowed in Chinese style.

"I don't want it to happen again….I just……don't," Kushai panted, she knew well that they had no clue what she meant, but that was ok. She didn't know what else to say.

Uncle Iroh stared at her with a questioning look. But Kushai ignored it, bowed, and nodded to Zuko in a good-bye manner.

"Wait…" Prince Zuko sighed uncomfortably.

"Please don't leave," Uncle Iroh finished. Uncle Iroh gave his nephew a look that said, she saved your life, be thankful.

"Well……I guess I don't have anywhere else to go," She looked away.

"That was powerful waterbending. You have much ability," Uncle Iroh smiled kindly. Uncle Iroh had been stunned at her waterbending, it had been amazing.

"Thank you," She turned around and left.

"My nephew, please treat her with respect. She saved your life," Uncle Iroh convinced.

"Yes Uncle," He too, turned around and left……in the same direction as Kushai had gone…..
