-----CHAPTER TWO,THE WOUNDS------

It had all happened so fast… He had found his Uncle, but not in time..

He had been covered in burns, and had little time to live. A small army had attacked him, and despite his skill, he was to old to fight for to long.

"Zuko…" Uncle Iroh said, a small tear in his eye. "Continue your journey.. And remember, I will always look out for you.." Iroh then froze, and stopped moving. A vacant expression in his eyes. Dead…

Zuko snorted, steam going every which way. "Whoever did this will pay…" He muttered. "What was that, brother?" He turned his head to see his sister and an army. "How could you murder our Uncle!" He shouted in anger. "Oh…come on, Zuko. You never cared for that old bat anyway.. Did you?"

He growled in frustration and leapt out to attack his sister, but in his blind rage, forgot about the army that was around her. He was shocked when someone stabbed through his stomach with a spear, and he fell to the ground.

"Capture him, or beat him to death. It doesn't matter to me," Zula said simply, walking off.

One of the guards grinned and stepped on his arm, bent it back, and broke it.

Another kicked him hard in the stomach, causing him to cough up a small puddle of blood.

The guards looked down evilly, and they weren't about to spare him, that's for sure. Despite losing blood, he conjured up a large amount of fire, catching the guards off-guard (Heh..Guards off-guard..sorry..) and knocked down a few of them, before deciding he shouldn't stick around. When Zula was called back in, he sprinted off as fast as his legs could carry him. He felt bad for not grabbing his uncle's body though.. A proper burial is what he needed to do, but he didn't want to join his Uncle in Death either.

He stopped at a stream, and he was dizzy and had to sling his arm or something.. He wasn't to sure how to mend wounds.. But that didn't matter for now. He found a spot where he thought he wouldn't be found, and rested on the ground for a while.

----

Aang had grabbed Zuko, deciding he couldn't leave him for dead, and dragged him off to a small cave that was hidden, just enough so if a Platypus bear got hungry and smelled the blood, it couldn't get in.

Aang had mended a sling for Zuko's arm out of some clothe he'd kept extra, and wrapped up his stomach wound. He sighed and settled himself against the wall. So much had happened today.. He wondered if Katara and Sokka had found their father yet.. "Oh!" He said to no one in particular, "I still need to go find an Earth Bender to teach me…" His small voice traveled down into the cave, and he lay down. Zuko probley wouldn't wake up any time soon, and he needed some sleep. He moved a rock out of his way and curled up, soon asleep.

----

Zuko froze when he heard Zula's voice.. She was so close by. "Brother? Where are you? Why don't you stop being a coward, and face you death, just as the pathetic old man."

Something inside him snapped.. "ILL KILL YOU!" He snarled, and threw a massive amount of fire at her, but was evoked in a crowd of guards.. He couldn't move.. Couldn't breath.. "Father Always told me you were a failer, Zuko, and you are…" He heard her cackle, as the mass of people attacked him..

Zuko..

Hey, Zuko?

"ZUKO!"

Zuko's eyes opened slowly.. Nope. He wasn't dead. He wasn't sure where he was.. He took a deep breath, and winced wishing he hadn't.

"Hey Zuko!" The same annoying cheery voice.. Ugh..It was so happy, it was disturbing. He gazed to his left, and there, plain as day, was the Avatar.

"Hey Zuko!" He said once again, smiling at him. "Did you have a bad dream?" Zuko furrowed his brow. "None of your business.."

"Huh.Whatever. Cause you were whimpering or something! And kept.. I dunno.. Trying to bend fire in your sleep maybe? It was funny to watch."

Zuko turned his head from the kid. "I don't whimper."

"Then what would you classify the sound as?" He said giggling a little more.

Zuko glared off into space. "Just leave me alone.. How did we get here, anyway?" Aang scratched his head. "Huum..Well, lets see. You were in a bush or something, bleeding half to death, and I brought you here."

"So where's your friends?" He mumbled.

"Oh.. Um.. We kind of split up.." He said a little sadly, and looked down into the cave.

"Well. Since I've had my fill of your incessant giggles, I'm leaving." He moved up, almost groaning from the sharp pain in his stomach, and lay back down, sighing.

"Oh.. I forgot to tell you, you shouldn't move.."

" Thanks for leaving that information until AFTER I got up," He growled, and lay back down, clearly annoyed.

"Well.. Sorry." Aang shrugged. "How did you get so beat up, anyway?" Zuko averted his gaze once again. "I don't want to talk about it.." And Aang raised an eye brow. "Okay then.." They sat in silence for a while,and Aang finally broke it.

"I'm going to go get some firewood.. And maybe something to eat," He said simply, grabbing his staff, and walking off, vanishing from sight.

"Great… Just great.." Zuko spat to the emptiness of the cave. "Not only am I stuck with this brat, but I can't walk at all.. And I need to check if Uncle may still be there.." His voice trailed off in the silence of the cave. He had to think of somehow to escape.. Anything would be good.. He tried to bend some fire, because the brush near the bottom of the cave would be to hard to crawl though, but to no avail.

He simply made sparks, or even a little bit of fire, but never enough. He was to weak to make a giant blaze like he usually did, and didn't have the energy to get up, anyway.

He decided to give up and sleep, since that's all he could do.

After a few hours, Aang returned, half-expecting for there to be some crazy wildfire, or at least Zuko gone, but when he opened the cave entrance, he found him sleeping.

"Maybe he's to weak to move.." Aang said, plopping the wood in the center of them. He could tell it would probly be cold tonight, and they would need all the warmth they could get, since it was so close to winter. He piled them up neatly, and began trying to bend fire.. He'd done it before, and he figured he could do it again, but his lack of concentration stopped him dead in his tracks.

He heard a small cackle, and turned to Zuko, him smirking. "What are you trying to do?" Aang crossed his arms. "Nothing."

"Oh… Your trying to make a fire, huh?" Zuko said, pointing out the obvious. "Maybe I am.. Maybe I'm not." Zuko growled, 'This kid has no respect at all..' Aang stared. "You sure do growl a lot." He rolled his eyes.

"Whatever." Aang glared. "Fine! If your so great, you make the fire!" And sat, turning his back to the prince.

In a few seconds, a small fire began crackling in the wood Aang had gathered, and the whole place erupted in a orange colored light.

"Wow!" Aang said, quickly turning and staring at the fire. Zuko averted his eyes. 'This kid is so stupid.. Such a basic trick amazes him.'

Aang turned to Zuko, eyes light-up in a puppy-ish way. "Could you maybe teach me fire bending?" And then his voice cut-off, remembering they were enemies.

"Maybe.." Came Zuko's small reply, and Aang almost fell over from surprise. He studied Zuko for a minute.

"What are you looking at, Avatar?" He said harshly.

"I was just wondering if you were telling the truth or not.."

"Maybe."

'Then something really bad must've happened if Zuko would accept that..' Aang thought, and then stared back into the fire.

Zuko sighed. He didn't want to be stuck here forever.. Or at least it felt like forever, with that stupid kid laughing at everything he did.

A few hours later, nightfall came, and Aang was right. It was cold. Even with the fire, it still made Aang shiver.

Zuko had been fast asleep, not noticing the cold. Being from the fire nation, warmth was never a problem. Aang shivered, getting closer to the fire, and not before long, and odd thought etched itself across his head.

'Maybe I should sleep next to him..' His eyes widened when he shook his head. 'HAVE I LOST MY MIND!' But still… It was to cold. And despite all the things he had brought, he hadn't grabbed a blanket.

Well… Zuko wouldn't get that mad, would he?

Aang crawled a little closer, as if he moved to close, Zuko would jump up and burn him to a crisp..

He inched a little closer, and nothing happened, so he moved within inches of Zuko, and nothing happened.

So he just went ahead and curled up under his arm. He felt warmer now, and he would just wake up before Zuko did in the morning and move from this spot in the morning.

Without noticing one of the Prince's eyes had been opened, he fell asleep.

'Ugh… What is this kid DOING!' Zuko's mind shouted, and it kept every ounce of resistance not to throw the kid across the cave and run for it. But at the same time.. It felt kind of … nice.. To have someone so close. He hadn't felt this way since his mother had died.

After sometime, he finally forced himself to sleep.

When Aang awoke, he yawned and stretched, then remembered where he had been last night. He sharply turned his gaze to where Zuko was.. Or where Zuko should have been.

Zuko was gone.

MOI IMPORTANT'E!

The end of chapter two. Oh... And the only reason I updated so quickly, Is because I have exams all this week. So I'm kind of trying to make up for the entire week..
