"You can't be serious. You're not leaving!" Zuko cried running after Nami.

"I am serious. Besides, I've overstayed my welcome," Nami said cooly. Nami had decided to leave after he had showed up. She couldn't put everyone she cared about in danger. It was for the best.

Half way across the deck Zuko grabbed Nami's arm and held her back. But she didn't turn around.

"You're not leaving. You're the best warrior we have. Besides you're still my prisoner," Zuko complained.

Nami whirled around to glare at him. "Is that it? Is that all I am? Your prisoner warrior?" she cried, and in a softer tone she added, "Is that all I am to you?"

She looked up and stared in to Zuko's eyes. There was so much sadness in them. There was also something that she couldn't recognize. Her breath caught as Zuko's hand brushed her cheek. Nami blushed deeply. It was a wonder she wasn't a constant pink.

"No," he admitted, blushing, "You're much more than that."

"You're boat is ready Nami," Nami jumped as Uncle came up beside them.

"Thank you Uncle," she said. She then turned to Zuko, " Goodbye Zuko. Perhaps our paths will cross again some day," she said curtly. Nami then walked towards the railing to climb down the rope. She didn't look back. She didn't want anyone to see that she was crying. She reached the edge and climbed down the rope to her boat. Then she untied the line and started rowing off in to a sunset leaving Zuko standing there on deck.

"I'm going to my room Uncle. Don't let anyone bother me," Zuko growled and huffed off to his room. Five minutes later found him sitting on his bed glaring at the wall. How could he have let her go! You let her go though. You could have stopped her you know his conciounce told him. Zuko didn't know what else to do. So, he went on to the deck and practiced Fire Bending. That had always calmed him down before. But this time it didn't work. What were these damn feelings! He couldn't get his mind off Nami. He had never felt this way before. He stared out at the sea as it started to rain.

Damn this rain! Nami thought as she walked endlessly through the forest. She couldn't get her mind off Zuko no matter how hard she tried. She had never felt this way before and she didn't like how weak she felt when she saw Zuko.

"Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you got 'till it's gone. Pave paradise and put up a parking lot." Nami heard a song come from above her head. She looked up and saw two girls sitting in a tree holding a square box that was emitting sound. Both girls had brown hair and were almost the same height. The only difference was that the girl on the left had bright blue eyes and the girl on the right had green eyes.

"Get away from me right now," Nami cried throwing fire at them. But the girls jumped nimbly to another branch.

"Oooh, I think she's mad Luc," the girl with bright blue eyes said while giggling.

"Yeah May. She probably misses Zuko," said the girl with green eyes said while wagging a finger at Nami. With that they jumped off the branch and ran deeper in to the forest.

"AUGH! Such stupid people. How to I always happen to associate myself with stupid people," Nami cried.

"Temper, temper," came a mocking voice from above. Nami looked up to see her archenemy floating there. Then came a huge wave of purple magic that came so quickly that she couldn't dodge it. All of a sudden she was pushed out of the way by something.

Nami looked up to see that that something was a someone. Her heart leaped for joy when she saw Zuko. Looks like those annoying girls were right. I did miss Zuko and he came just at the right time too she thought.

"Come on," Zuko said while helping Nami to her feet, "Let's kick his magic butt all the way to the North Pole."

"I'm ready if you are," Nami grinned. Zuko nodded and together they started fighting. Nami cried out in pain as she got hit in the side. Zuko got hit in the left arm and as a result his arm was paralyzed for a few minutes. Things were going okay until Nami's archenemy started laughing.

"What's so funny?" she growled.

"Why, you are my darling girl," the man laughed. " Fighting alongside a banished Prince? What next? Hanging with common theives?"

Now there was something new. Zuko, a banished Prince? That was very odd. She looked to Zuko as if to prove it wasn't true. But, he hung his head in shame.

"So what if he's a banished prince!" she cried, "He's still my friend."

"Ha, ha. So naive. Well, you might as well die with him," the man laughed. As he was laughing, he conjured up a giant ball of magic. Nami didn't notice until it was coming at her. She tried to move out of the way but failed and ended up getting hit. She flew backward with a cry of pain and hit in to a tree.

She was in a lot of pain and had lots of cuts all over her body. She had a big wound on her stomach too. She vaguely saw her archenemy laugh and dissapear. Then, through misty eyes, she saw Zuko run towards her. She smiled and lost conciousness. (A/N I know, I use it a lot but only because I can't think of anything else. Besides, it fits.)

Nami sat up with a start. Then grabbed her side and winced. Then she noticed that her wound was all bandaged. There was a small bowl beside her. It looked as though someone had crushed up some herbs. She quessed that they had been put on her wounds.

A twig snapped really close to the clearing. She tensed up and got ready to fight. When someone stepped in to the clearing she relaxed. It was only Zuko.

"Oh, you're awake. I just went to get some water," Zuko mumbled. He sat down next to Nami.

Nami looked at him and then she flung her arms around his neck. That caught Zuko off guard. "I didn't think I'd see you again. You came just at the right moment too," Nami sobbed. She continued to cry in to his shoulder.

Zuko was totally lost. One minute Nami was hugging him and the next she was sobbing. He didn't understand girls. He couldn't do anything else, so, he slowly wrapped his arms around Nami and held her close until she stopped crying.

Finally she stopped crying and wiped her eyes. Zuko put his fingers under her chin and tipped her face up so he was looking right in to her eyes. Gods, she had beautiful eyes. Deep brown eyes that he could get lost in.

"Well, I guess that makes us even. You saved my life and I saved your's," Zuko said. She smiled up at him. Then Zuko did something that surprised even him. He leaned down and kissed Nami.

Nami was so surprised when Zuko kissed her. But she didn't resist. She hesitated for a few seconds then, closed her eyes and kissed him back. She saw fireworks. Nami wrapped her arms around Zuko and he held her close.

After a while they broke apart and Nami looked up at Zuko. "He'll be back you know," she frowned.

"I know, but we'll take him together," Zuko answered her.

Nami smiled up at him at kissed him again. Up above, there were those two girls again. They looked at each other and smiled.

"AWWWWWWWW! SO CUTE!" They both stated at the same time.

They were nearly hit by a small boulder and looked down. Zuko and Nami both looked pissed.

"Shut up!" They both shouted at the same time.

The two girls just smiled. May gave a peace sign, Luc stuck her tongue out at the firebenders and they both sprouted wings and flew off into the distance, with Zuko and Nami both sweatdropping.
