Hey, everyone. How do you like this story so far? Well, you must like it since you are still reading it. If there are any Rurouni Kenshin fans reading this, you can tell that I'm also a big Rurouni Kenshin fan. One, because I already wrote a story about our favorite hitokiri, and two, part of this story is based on one of the episodes in the Wandering Samurai Series. There are a lot of differences. For example, when Kaoru was captured by the pirates, Kenshin was allowed to take her place. When Aang asked to take Katara's place, Blue Blade just ignored him. Why would you guys care? All you want to do is read the next chapter, right? Well, here it is.

My Name is Nami

Sokka was helping Aang out of the cold water. When Aang was in the boat, both boys collapsed onto the wooden floor. Momo immediately wrapped himself around Aang's neck in relief, and Aang patted him with gratitude.

Both boys looked across the blue sea. It was already night, but it had been almost an hour since the ship they were working on had sank. "Well, so much for our pay," Sokka said with a sigh. Aang didn't care about the money they had lost. All he cared about was Katara. He had let Blue Blade get away with his best friend. The pirate ship had sailed away to who knew where. He had heard what Blue Blade had said. Katara was going to be executed, and it was his fault.

"We have to save Katara," Aang said.

"But we can't!" Sokka said. "We don't even know where she is."

"She's with the pirates. The pirates hide out on Blue Mist Island. All we have to do is go there and we will fight them for Katara."

"Uh, Aang, in case you haven't noticed, it is way too dark to see our way. The pirates will get there first, and it will be too late." Sokka couldn't believe the words that were coming out of his own mouth. He had lost all hope for his sister. "Besides, even if we did reach it in time, you are way too wounded to do anything to stop them."

"I don't think so," Aang said as he lifted his shirt up. There was a huge bruise across his chest where Blue Blade had hit him. "Blue Blade only gave me a bruise, though I don't know why she didn't finish me off."

"Maybe she has a heart," Sokka said sarcastically. "Anyways, if we're going to save Katara, we better start rowing."

Katara groaned as she opened her eyes slowly. She was lying on a wooden floor. That's why I didn't sleep good, she thought as she tried to sit up. She quickly fell back to the floor with a small thud. Her hands had been tied tightly behind her back. Why? Then she remembered what had happened the night before. She had been captured by pirates. Aang had tried to save her, but Blue Blade threw him into the sea. Now she was heading to her death.

"I don't care," she said to herself as tears filled her eyes. "I deserve to die. Aang is dead because of me. I don't deserve to live." Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of her door opening. Before Katara stood the pirate that had killed her love. Blue Blade was dressed in black fighting boots. Her black hakama tucked in her red kimono. She wasn't wearing her crimson cloak anymore, so it was easy to see her confident, purple eyes and her black hair, which was tied into two ponytails at the nape of her neck. Katara could see that the pirate's hair reached her waist, but she could also see that the girl wasn't any taller than herself. Katara just glared at the captain with angry eyes.

"You don't have to be like that," Blue Blade said. "I'm not going to eat you."

"You are too low for that, you cockroach," Katara spat.

"You know, I have a name. It's Nami."

"I could care less what your name is!" Katara yelled at her. "You killed Aang! You don't even deserve a name!" Katara's voice stopped when Nami approached her. Katara braced herself for a slap, but it never came. Instead, Nami knelt down in front of her.

"I'm not going to hit you," Nami declared. Katara could have been wrong, but she could have sworn that she had seen sadness in the pirate's eyes. "As for your boyfriend, I'm sure he is fine, unless if he can't swim. I didn't hit him that hard, just hard enough to get him away from us. Besides, I hit him with the wrong end of my sword." Nami stood up and walked to the door, but Katara had one question left.

"Why would you do that? Why did you spare him? You are a ruthless pirate."

"I'm not as ruthless as you think. I have a reason for everything I do." Katara couldn't believe what Nami was saying. Why wouldn't a pirate kill for kicks? Maybe she wanted to see Katara squirm, or maybe she wanted to capture the Avatar for the reward. "We will arrive on Blue Mist Island soon. When we do, I will take your head. Say your prayers." Nami closed the door loudly and locked it. Katara got up and walked towards her little window. There it was, Blue Mist Island. It was the pirates' hiding place and soon-to-be grave.

Ooh, another cliffhanger. I like cliffhangers, plus I'm pretty much too sick to write anymore. I've had the flu and I haven't eaten in about three days, so I probably sound really delirious. Sorry about that. Also, my Nami has no relation to Nami from One Piece. I just love that name so much that I had to use it. It's a pretty good pirate name. I like it anyways.

jalapeno1011: Yeah, Katara got captured…again. She has a habit of doing that in my stories.

Kirra: I know what you mean. I love Katara/Zuko stories, but this one isn't going to be one. By the way, you should write a story about Katara being a pirate. I know how hard it is to keep writing, but you have to do what you have to do.

I know that I'm missing someone, but I can't think of them now. I'm sorry if I missed you. Thanks for the reviews though. It might be a while before I update because I have to work on my other stories. Please be patient. Cya.
