"I'm telling you: you're not coming with us!" Zuko exclaimed.

"And I'm saying I am," Nami retorted. She was in her room getting in to her armor. The only thing she didn't have on was her helmet. The crew was going on a mission. Supposedly there were some warriors who opposed Zuko. The whole crew was going to fight them. (A/N I know, this sounds really stupid but I had writer's block)

"We're all ready Zuko," a crew member called from the doorway.

"All right. Let's go," Nami said while strapping on a sword.

"You're not going!" Zuko yelled, "And what do you need a sword for?"

"You never know. And, yes, I am going. That's final," Nami quipped and walked out of the room. Zuko could be so annoying some times! But no way was she going to pass up a fight. She and the rest of the crew headed off the ship. They were docked by a woodey area. That will provide some good cover she thought.

They headed in to the forest. Everything was silent. Then, about five yards in front of Nami a twig snapped. Quickly she blew a burst of fire and all of the men jumped out of their hiding places. Luckily Nami hadn't blown her fire at the tree so nothing caught fire. For a while everybody was caught up in battle. Then a familiar smell caught Nami's nose. Fire! was her first thought. She looked over to her right and saw that a few of the trees were on fire. Then she looked down and saw that the whole ground was covered in dead leaves. They had to get out of there soon or else they would be toasts…literally!

Nami heard one of the crew cry out and looked to towards the fire and saw that one of Zuko's crew was down and badly injured. She ran towards him and lifted him on her shoulder.

" Everybody! We have to get out of here…now!" she shouted to the rest of the crew. She headed towards the ship and made sure everybody was on. That was when she noticed that Zuko wasn't on board!

She turned towards the crew; " If I'm not back in five minutes then go without me. Start sailing and anchor about 100 yards dowm stream. I'll meet you there." With that she turned and jumped off the ship and in to the blazing inferno. Talk about out of the frying pan and in to the fire she thought. She ran around looking for Zuko. "Cough, cough. Can't breath. There's too much smoke," Nami coughed. Then she had an idea. She ripped of some cloth form her armor and wrapped it around her head like a bandit.

Then, off in the distance she saw Zuko leaning against a tree aparantly having as much a hard time breathing as her. Next to Zuko she saw a bandit creeping up with a dagger. Oh no! She quickly grabbed her sword and threw it at the bandit. Her result was the bandit pinned to a tree. She ran towards Zuko.

" Zuko! Can you hear me?" she said, her voice muffled by the cloth.

" Nami! What are you doing here?" he coughed.

" We have to get out of here! Here take this, it'll help with the smoke," she said handing him a rag that she had torn off her sleeve.

" Thanks," he said accepting the rag and tied it around his head as Nami had done.

" Come on," Nami cried and grabbed Zuko's arm. She heard a cry behind her and saw Zuko sink back down against the tree grabbing his side. She looked closer and saw an arrow stuck there. The wound was bleeding pretty badly too. This was bad and they had to get going. She only had three minutes left to get back to the ship.

She then tried to lift Zuko on to her shoulder but fell down. He wieghed a lot with his armor on. She set him down and began taking off the heavy armor. After about a minute she got it all off. She was wasting valuable time! Nami hoisted him on to her shoulders and started running. She was almost there when a tree fell not two feet in front of her. She screamed and jumped back.

" Come on Nami! This whole forest is going to burn down in a matter of minutes!" Zuko yelled to her.

"I know that!" she cried. Nami had an idea but she wasn't sure if it was going to work. She had to try it anyway. Nami backed up a few steps and then ran forward. Just as she was about to hit the tree, she jumped. She cleared the tree by just a few inches. Nami ran forward to the edge of the forest and saw that the ship was already starting to pull away from the shore! She shouted to the crew and they saw her. One of the crew members thre a rope over the side. Nami, still holding Zuko, ran forward and took a flying leap.

Now she was clutching on to the rope with one hand and holding Zuko up with the other. Zuko couldn't do anything because he was hurt pretty bad. The crew started pulling her up. Her arm was sreaming. She couldn't hold on for much longer. Just as she was about to let go the crew pulled her all the way up. Nami landed on the deck and she heard Zuko land next to her. Her sight went blurry and she fell in to the oblivion of unconciousness.

" Give them some room to breath," she heard one of the crew say.

Nami opened her eyes and saw the crew surrounding her and Zuko. She sat up and looked around. The ship was already sailing and the only trace of the fire was a trail of smoke in the distance. Her arm was throbbing and she guessed it would hurt for the next few days.

Nami looked up at the crew and smiled. " Don't worry guys. I'm okay."

The crew exploded in cheers. Once again, Nami found herself lifted up on the crew's shoulders.

" Three cheers for Nami! The bravest warrior ever!" they cried.

" Let's go have a celebration and have some Ginseng Tea!" Uncle cried.

The crew cheered and set Nami down. " I don't think I'll go. Um…where's the doctor?" she asked.

One of the crew members stepped forward, " He got hurt in the fire so we don't know what were going to do about Zuko," he said.

Nami looked over at Zuko who had managed to sit up and was looking back towards the fire.

" You guys go ahead. I'll catch up later," she smiled.

The crew agreed and walked off leaving Nami stand ing on the deck with Zuko. As soon as they were all gone Nami walked over to Zuko. " Need some help?" she asked offering her hand.

" I don't need help from you," Zuko retorted pushing her hand away. He tried get up but fell back down.

" Obviously you do," Nami laughed. She offered her hand again and this time Zuko reluctantly took it. She hauled him up on to his feet and he took a few shaky steps. He almost fell back down but Nami grabbed his arm and helped him.

"Come on. I'll help you to your room," she said. With that she and Zuko slowly made their way to his room. As soon as they were there she put Zuko on his bed and went to get a bowl and some water. She also found some bandages. She walked back to Zuko's room and found him lying on his bed.

"Sit up. I'll help with that arrow," she commanded.

"I don't need any help. And where's the doctor?" Zuko growled.

"He got hurt in the fire. Besides, I'm a pretty good doctor. You don't think I survived all those years without being an okay doctor so I could look after my troops do you?" she laughed. With that, she kneeled down and took a look at the wound. She really couldn't see it because Zuko's shirt was in the way though.

Um…you're…um…going to have to take off your shirt so I can see the wound," she muttered.

Zuko looked at her oddly for a second and then reluctantly took off his shirt. Nami blushed and took a closer look at the wound. It wasn't that big but she needed to get the arrow out or it would get infected. "This might hurt a little," she said grabbing the arrow. She then quickly pulled it out and the blood started to flow freely. Zuko cried out in pain. Quickly, Nami put down the arrow and grabbed the cloth, which she dipped in the water. "This might sting. There's some herbs in the water that are disinfectants," she told him. Nami put the cloth up to the wound and she heard Zuko draw in a sharp breath. She smiled. Nami knew it hurt but he would never admit it.

After a while, the wound was cleaned and bandaged. Nami got up and was headed toward the door when Zuko stopped her.

"Nami!" he said

She turned around, " Yes?"

"Um…thanks for saving my life. I really owe you. By the way, you'd better get your sleeve fixed," he mumbled.

She turned around and was half way out the door when she answered, " No problem. I never leave anybody behind. And I can sew my sleeve back together. By the way, you should take it easy for the next few days," she said and headed out leaving Zuko sitting on his bed staring after her.

The next few days went by in a blur. Zuko's wound healed and Nami's arm felt better. But on the fifth day something happened that none of them would have expected.

It was just a normal day around the ship. Nami was leaning against the rail on the deck. Suddenly out of nowhere a ball of purple magic flew past her ear. She slowly looked up and saw him standing there. It was her archenemy. Actually he was floating rather than standing. In retaliation Nami threw some fire at him but he dodged it easily.

In the end they started fighting fire with magic. Everyone gathered to watch their favorite warrior fight. But after about five minutes it was obvious that Nami was losing. Then there was a humongous blast of fire that didn't come from Nami. She looked to her left and saw Zuko standing there. Together they managed to push back the magician. Right before he flew away he unleashed a wave of magic bigger than any other. Nami got hit with the full force. She flew backwards and landed on her back. Right before she passed out she heard Zuko calling out.

" Get the doctor! Hurry!" he shouted. With a small laugh Nami passed out.
