Thank you's:

Dragon Jadefire: Thanks for saying that I am good at making up names. But I got the word half breed from Inuyasha. My poor, poor, poor dog. Anyway thanks for reviewing.

Zukoscute2: Sorry, you can't beat him up, but for you I will make sure, in the future, that he will be torture or he will have a terrible, miserable death. Thanks for reviewing!

Chapter 6: The Peaceful Days turns into Stressful Days!

After the incident with Katsuya, Katara wrote a letter to Sokka and sent it. The letter said:

Dear Sokka,

Sokka, I was visited by Katsuya, Hatori's son. He said that he was going to kill to you and my family. Why? Apparently he is upset that he isn't the king of the Water Nation and he thinks that you are doing a poor job, as king. So be careful. Oh, tell Suki I said hi.

Love, Katara.

When Sokka received this letter, he was very confused by it. No, Sokka isn't that stupid. So he wrote back to Katara and sent it. His letter said:

Dear Katara,

What are you talking about? Katsuya couldn't have been at the Fire Nation, because he told me this about a month ago and I had him thrown into jail. Then after that, I had him beheaded. So Katsuya is dead. Yes, I have a witness! Her name is Suki! She says hi. Have you seen or talk to Aang lately?

Love, Sokka

"That's weird." Katara said.

"What is weird?" asked Zuko.

"Sokka said that he had Katsuya behead, because he pulled the same stunt with him earlier and on top of that he hasn't seen Aang. Something weird is going on." She said, with a hint of worry in her voice. Zuko walked up to her and gave her hug and whispered in her ear. He whispers "Don't worry, if anything happens I will protect you and our kids. Now, while I tuck the kids into bed, you get ready for bed. Wear something sheer."

Katara felt a shiver run up her spine and she nodded her head. Zuko left and Katara went into her bathroom and sat at her vanity. She began to unbraid her hair. It had grown over the years. It now touched her thigh and she wonder about getting a hair cut. Katara was to absorbed into her own thoughts, to see or hear that someone was in the bathroom with her. This mysterious person walked up to Katara and put a cloth over her mouth and nose. She tried to use water bending, but she couldn't concentrate. Before she knew it, she begaun to lose consciousness and then she faded into the world of unconsciousness.

This mysterious person picked Katara up bridal style and sneak out the bathroom and out onto the balcony. The person walked to the edge and then looked at Katara's still body and said "Don't worry Katara, everything will be find." Then the person jumped over the balcony and using air bending landed safety on the ground. With Katara, this person left the palace ground and left the Fire Nation.

Zuko walked back into his bedroom and was preparing for Katara; but while he was doing this he notice wet footsteps on the floor. He walked into the bathroom and saw that Katara wasn't there. He left his bedroom and asked every maid if they knew where Katara was and they all answered the same "Sorry, my lord. We haven't seen Katara." Zuko began to worry, now. He went to his uncle's room and pounded on the door.

Uncle Iroh finally opened the door. "Zuko, why are banging on my door for?" He asked.

"Uncle is Katara, in there? Have you seen her?" Zuko asked.

"No, I thought she was with you." Uncle Iroh said. Zuko them marched into the twins room with Uncle Iroh right behind him. When they opened the door to the twins, new bedroom, he was disappointed. There was no Katara.

" Zuko, what has happened?" asked Uncle Iroh. Zuko ignored him. He went to the twin's bedroom and picked both of them up. He then took them, to his bedroom and Uncle Iroh right behind him. Once in his bedroom, he laid the twins on the bed, but then something caught his eye. He walked over to Katara's vanity and saw a note. It said:

Hi, Zuko; by now I guess you have search the whole palace and there was no sign of Katara. If you are reading this, then you are too late, by now me and your unconscious wife have made it out of the Fire Nation. Don't worry I won't hurt her yet, but beware I will strike again tomorrow. This time two of your most precious gifts; that's right Yuri and Kisa.

Zuko fell to the floor and started crying. Uncle Iroh ran in the bathroom.

"Zuko, what has happen?"

"She's gone."

"Who is gone?" Uncle Iroh asked. Zuko handed him the letter. When Uncle Iroh read the letter, he was furious. But before he could response Zuko said "Go and watch the twins! If anything happens to them, your head is mine." Uncle Iroh obeyed and left. Zuko closed the door and it began, his rage.

He blew fire out of his mouth and smoke came out of his nose. He threw the chairs around, he burned her vanity. He made a mess of things in the bathroom. Finally he stopped and once again fell to the floor.

"Katara, I am so sorry…I couldn't protect you." He opened the door and walked to his bed. Uncle Iroh knew that it would be best if he left and he did. Zuko got in bed and brought Yuri and Kisa next to him and said" I will protect you and I will find you Katara."
