Hey guys sorry for not updating sooner. I had writers block for awhile. Any who, I got my inspiration back!

So here goes chapter 6…

Chapter 6

Noon:

"Now be nice Prince Zuko. This is a lady you are going to be talking to not a crewman from your ship." Iroh said fixing his nephews collar.

Zuko simply rolled his eyes at this and grunted. "I know this uncle" Prince Zuko said shooing his uncle's hand to fix his own collar. But deep down he new this was very good advice. Prince Zuko had never really talked to a woman for over a year now.

"You should get going now or you'll be late." said Iroh pointing at the sundial by the window.

Zuko looked at the time; he then closed his eyes and sighed. Iroh put both hands on his nephew's shoulders. "You'll be fine. Just remember to be gentle and watch what you say."

Zuko gave another sigh and was off. Iroh looked at him with a smile. "Ah, young love."

Zuko made his way through the busy crowd of Town Square. He finally got to the garden. Where he finally got some peace from the crowd at a nearby pond.

There were Sakura trees everywhere. Zuko took the time to marvel the scenery. He hadn't been to this garden in what seemed centuries ago. He remembered when his mother came here with him. He would always find the most beautiful Sakura to give to her. He sighed at the memory.

"Great, she's late" Prince Zuko said throwing a stone at the pond. He stood there for what seemed like a moment.

"I am not late" said a voice coming from the nearest Sakura tree. Zuko looked up.

"You are early" said Kalina stepping away from the tree. She walked towards him. Her dark green eyes caught in his golden shining eyes. Zuko couldn't take his eyes away from her."She is so beautiful" he thought.

She stopped an arms length away from him. She bowed. He bowed. She smiled at him and started to walk towards the pond. She just stood there.

"I missed you." she began. "I never did forget about you."

Zuko looked at her surprised. "She did…She didn't?" he thought.

He took a step towards her. She bent her neck to look at him, and while she did this a strand of hair swung to her face.

"So, how do I look?" she said twirling around once. Zuko took a big gulp.

She was wearing a silk dark green kimono that fit her just right. She also wore a corset that went over the kimono which made her curves more noticeable.

Zuko simply looked at her. Her face was still the same beautiful face but her body was very different. She had a woman's figure now. He could clearly see that she wasn't 14 anymore.

"You look…nice" was all his mouth would allow him to say.

"Thank you, you don't look so bad yourself" she said smiling. He smiled back. He was blushing now and he could feel the heat rushing to his head. Kalina saw the blush and she herself started began to blush.

She couldn't help but giggle.

"What's so funny?" he asked.

"Oh, nothing." Kalina said, her giggle coming to a stop. There was a pause.

"So…uh how how've been?" started Zuko with a stutter.

"Good." said Kalina unconvincingly. Zuko raised his right eyebrow at this. "Just good" he asked.

"Well yea. I mean a lot has happened since you've been gone. I am head lieutenant of the Firedancers. I also teach along with head mistress Suki. And I …" He put his finger to her lips.

Kalina almost fainted at this gesture. He was touching her. No man had ever touched her. He cupped his hands on her face. He was just looking at her, admiring her beautiful self. She had no choice but to stare back.

They stood there for what seemed a moment. She then closed her eyes and pulled away. "I can't" she said starting to cry.

"Oh yes you can." Zuko said pulling her back to him and locking his lips into hers. She struggled to get away but his grip was strong on her arms. She then had to give in.

When it was over he was the one who pulled back. He stepped back almost confused at what he just did. She in return looked at him with disappointment. "Why did he stop? Did he regret doing it." Was all Kalina could think about.

"I am sorry." he said. Now Kalina was the one confused. "Uh, that's ok." Kalina said showing her confusion.

"Why did you want to meet with me?" Prince Zuko said angrily.

"I wanted to see you" Kalina said feeling the daggers of his voice. He gave her a small sympathetic look, then regained his composure. "Well I think this was a bad idea. I don't think we should see each other like this anymore. You're a Firedancer remember." he said arrogantly.

"But I don't ca.." Zuko interrupted Kalina. "I don't care what else you have to say to me. This should have never been I shouldn't have told you to come here." Kalina shuddered at this. She was breathing really hard trying not to cry. She looked to the ground. Then back at him.

"Fine. If that's the way you feel." She turned ready to leave. "I will never bother you again." She said looking at him from the corner of her eye. She left.

Prince Zuko turned to stare at the pond. "I had to do it" a tear came down, but his face stayed emotionless. "Please forgive me Kalina."

Ok I know Prince Zuko would probably not cry in real life but he will in my story. lol. Anyways don't forget to Review!
