Chapter Three!

Raine and Zuko made thier way back to the ship casually talking for some odd reason.

"You'll have to room with me until we get a room for you " Zuko said as they got to the beach.

"okay smokey"Raine said as she adjusted her bags she had over her shoulder.

"What is with that name any way ?" Zuko asked annoyed that she kept calling him Smokey.

"Well i think it suits you so live with it cause its the only thing i'm calling you."Raine said as the platform lowered and the two made thier way up th platform to the deck where Iroh was a waiting his nephew.

"Ah Prince zuko i see you have once again failed at capturing the avatar."Iroh said as he just glanced at Zuko totally missing Raine with his bad sight and all.

"Uh old guy ?" Raine said looking at Iroh not really liking not being noticed.

"Ah and who might this be your GIRLFRIEND Zuko?" Iroh asked making Zuko go slightly red along with Raine.

"No uncle this is Raine and she is going to be travelling wiht us." Zuko said as he shook his head then walked off.

"So Raine how have you been?" Iroh asked as the two went to go get a cup of tea.

"Fine Iroh, i mean i finally meet my father and i'm one step closer to killing him and getting revenge for my mother."Raine answered smiling at the old man next to her.

"I can't believe its been 2 years since i last saw you and you have certainly grown."Iroh commented as he looked her over.

"You are still and old Pervert you know" Raine said as she bopped him in the back of the head with her fist.

"Yeah i know"Iroh said luaghing as Raine just shook her head.

"so have you told Zuko that yopu are his-" Iroh said but was silenced by Raine's hand over his mouth.

"No and i don't want him to know just yet atleast not until he trusts me d oi want to tell him." Raine said ina low voice in case that any one was easedropping on them.

"Ah" Iroh said as Raine took her jhand off his mouth and he nodded understanding.

"Hey iroh where is Zuko's room?" Raine asked obvious to the fact that Zuko was right behind her the entire time.

"Dow nthis hall then take a right its the one with a red door you can't miss it ." Zuko answered for Iroh scaring the s out of Raine.

"Ah smokey how long have you been standing there?" Raine asked nervously.

"Got here when you asked Iroh where our room is."Zuko lied but he wasn't about to risk meeting that wooden rod of hers again.

"Oh okay well thanks i'm kinda tired and i'm gonna g olay down is that alright?" Raine said smiling happily at Zuko.

"Yeah sure i'll come get you when dinner is ready."Zuko said befroe Raine nodded and headed down the hall.

"I know you were there the whole time Zuko."Iroh said once Raine was out of ear shot.

"So" zuko said as he grabbed a cup of tea and sat down across from his uncle.

"So aren't you th e least bit curious what she is not telling you?" Iroh asked looking at his nephew skepticlly.

"Not in the least bit."Zuko said as he finished his cup of tea then left to train some more by himself.

Zuko's room

Raine looked around the large room before sitting on the nice and comfy queen size bed he had next to the wall.'Dang he has a nicer bedroom then i had back at the castle.'Raien thoughtas she closed her eyes and entered her dream world.

Raine's Dream

a ten year old Raine closed the door to her room the quietest that she could. She looked down the hall multiple times to make sure the coast was clear.

"Psst"she heard from across the hall.

She smiled to herself andwalked over to the figure in the dent in the wall waiting for her. when she reached the figure she was pulled into a gentle kiss. When they broke apart the figure had thier arms around Raine protectively and leaned thier head on her shoulder as she twirled a strand of the figure's hair i nher fingers.

"wanna see something?" the figure asked her quietly breathing in her ear. She nodded dumbly still in a daze . the figure smirked at her and lead her out of the building and to a lake, along a path with a few trees on onside of it and the full moon's reflection and light added a beautiful glow to the scene.

"Its beautiful"Raine murmured as the figure stood behind her and still had thier arms around her waist ."Yeah you are" the figure whispered in her ear before giving her a light kiss on her cheek.

"Aw your such a sweetie"Raine said as she closed her eyes and leaned into the warm and safe embrace of the figure.
