A Very Uncomfortable Situation and the New Fight

AN: I feel like my story is horrible, cause so far I don't have a lot of reviews…..so…….PLEASE REVIEW!

Kushai

Kushai sent another water burst at the Prince. They were having a duel. Uncle Iroh had suggested they have a duel since after all, Kushai was a powerful watebender.

The Prince had obviously dodged the stream of water, he smiled smugly as he sent another flame at her. Surprisingly this one wasn't deadly!

She made a shield of water to block the flame. "You're not as bad as I thought," The Prince commented, acting amazed.

"Oh haha….you're not as GOOD as I thought," She smiled at her comeback.

"Well, you are worse than an out of shape, tea obsessed man, after all he did beat you that time," Prince Zuko proudly straightened himself. What does she have to say now?

"Well…..he is after all teaching you, which means you're being taught by an out of shape, tea obsessed man," She cast him a glare that could only be described in ONE word, victorious.

Her face soon changed as the ship made a sudden turn causing her to tumble on top of Prince Zuko. Oh shoot, get off, get off, GET OFF, she commanded to herself in panick.

"……umm….y-yea…s-so-orry…." She stuttered as she pushed herself off of him.

He groaned, she had just pushed herself up from his stomach. Ouch…..did she have to embarrass herself every second of the day!

"Sorry….I guess I wasn't-" She whipped her head around to see Uncle Iroh staring at them in amusement.

"I see you were able to knock him down? Not bad….but maybe it wasn't exactly the correct way to do it," the man held in his laughter at the face of Kushai, who was no blushing with the most red color he had ever seen.

"The…boat….it, umm…it made a very..uh, quick move," She found herself struggling with words.

Prince Zuko, who had been standing there quietly had absolutely no clue what to do or say. "Why….yeah, why did the ship turn so unexpectedly?" Prince Zuko growled mentally at himself, that was the uttermost pathetic question he had ever asked. And that voice he had said it in was impeccably hilarious, it wasn't even funny…….wait, that didn't make any sense …I'm losing it!

"Prince Zuko, why are you shaking your head?" His Uncle wondered.

"I'm not! Now, training is over," He walked off, only to stumble over his own feet. He quickly regained his balance and sped up.

Aang and his friends

Katara

"It's too bad we couldn't save the girl, I wonder what he wanted from her," Katara asked more to herself than the others who were doing the weirdest things from boredom.

Sokka was playing with a loose string on his shirt. Actually, he was trying to cut it in half, karate style. Whack! Whack! Whack! He whacked at it helplessly as he seemed to be cursing under his breath. It was outrageously funny, Katara wondered why she wasn't laughing.

Aang was humming a most ridiculous song. He was moving his hands and making a ball of air, then he threw it quickly to his left. Katara could swear he had said "Prince Zuko!" That was also hilarious, he was acting like he was fighting Prince Zuko while he hummed a song that would easily be described as an ironic scene.

"Yeah, I still can't decide if we should go back and save her," Sokka replied about 3 minutes after. He had given up with the 'evil' string.

"Well, it would be a bit odd if somebody saw the Avatar chasing a fire navy ship, not to mention that we would be chasing Prince Zuko" Katara rubbed her chin.

"No, you think?" Sokka made a dull face.

"We should help her, maybe if we stopped at a nearby island we could sleep and regain some energy. The next morning we could go save her?" Katara suggested.

"What do you think Aang?" Katara questioned, being her responsible self to hear everyone's opinion, oh, except Sokka's!

Aang was in the middle of one of his 'attacks' and was sitting in a very interesting position. His arm was pulled out in front of him, and he was leaning forward as if shooting an air burst.

"Huh? Oh, ok! Sure thing! Whatever you say Katara," Aang snapped back to reality. Aang liked Katara, a lot, he hoped she hadn't noticed what he was doing before she questioned him. But by looking at her smiling expression, he was pretty sure he had totally embarrassed himself.

"So, did you win?" Katara smiled kindly.

Aang blushed, that answered his question.

"And you Sokka, has the evil string surrendered yet?" Her voice was way more mocking than it ever was to Aang.

Sokka looked at Katara's amused expression. "Oh haha….so funny I forgot to laugh!" Sokka looked away.

"Well, technically you did laugh, doesn't 'haha' serve in that category?" The young waterbender mocked him awhile more until she decided he had had enough embarrassment for one hour.

At the ship

"Can somebody pass me the tea?" Uncle Iroh asked politely.

Kushai stretched her arm out to grab it, but was surprised to find another hand. Prince Zuko instantly let go of the mug.

"Wow, the Prince of the fire nation took it to himself to take an order!" Kushai broke the awkwardness.

"For your information, it wasn't an order, it was a question!" Prince Zuko snapped.

"Even better," Kushai laughed as she took another sip of her water.

'Oh great' Uncle Iroh sighed to himself, another fight.

"And what is that supposed to mean?" Prince Zuko questioned angrily.

"Well, it means you had a choice to waste your energy, and you did!" She praised herself, since when did she become so good at statements?

"Excuse me, I have a lot more energy-" Prince Zuko looked towards his Uncle who was now holding for his ears and pushing away from the table.

"I'll be leaving now," Uncle Iroh hurried out the door leaving the two teenagers in and awkward silence.

"So…." Kushai glanced at her food.

"I'll be going outside," Prince Zuko got up quickly and walked out the door.

Kushai followed, 'what does she want' pondered in the boy's mind.

"Exactly what do you suppose I should do in an empty room?" Kushai questioned as she stared out over the railing of the boat.

"Something you'd normally do in that room, eat your food," Prince Zuko tried not to make it sound like a kind teasing way, but he messed that up.

"Do you miss your family?" Kushai asked absent mindedly.

"I don't have much of a family," came his simple reply.

"Oh….sorry…..I don't have a family," Kushai stared harder into the water, it seemed she was trying to burn a hole it.

"I'm sorry…" Prince Zuko shifted uneasily. "You do know that your eyes aren't going to be able to bore a hole in the ocean right?" He added quickly, hoping that she wouldn't have time to think about him apologizing. He had had a teasing voice. Sadly, it came out wrong and sounded kind again.

"Yeah I know, I was just…..umm…" Kushai thought hard.

"I was being sarcastic," Prince Zuko interrupted her spinning mind.

"That, I also know…." Kushai snapped quickly. Actually she hadn't been thinking straight for the last minutes, and she hadn't thought about the being 'sarcastic' part.

"I'll be heading to bed now," Kushai turned around. The last thing she saw was a smile on Prince Zuko's face. 'A smile' she thought over and over again.
