A/N: Okay, these where drabbles but now its more of a story, and mind, its not going to make a lot of since, this is just something I do in my spare time. So yeah, NO FLAMES!
Oh, I took a test and BAM! Seiko is NOT a Mary-Sue! It said so it said that she was well developed and unique! Haha! I think she's a sue too. But hey, you're just going to have to deal with that!
So here you go! Enjoy and Review!
Names
Zuko…
He could hear his name being called distant and strange.
Zuko…
Slowly, he began to come to, his head throbbing in pain.
Zuko…
What had happened to him?
The last thing he could remember was the soft touch as Seiko's lips grazing his ears as she leaned into him to whisper something to him.
Seiko…
She was soft and gentle.
Seiko…
Every time Zuko touched her it was bliss, not just that but her words were soft, kind, and intelligent.
Seiko…
If Zuko put his mind to it he could relate Seiko to his Uncle.
Uncle…
They say that Ginseng makes you smarter, probably just the caffeine.
Uncle…
Why does he drink so much tea?
Uncle…
But they'd been there for him, both of them, they knew that being Fire Lord wasn't easy. They knew what he needed.
But what had happened to him? What had Seiko said before he passed out, something about a child?
A Child…
And being late for something,
A Child…
Then it clicked. The wheels inside of Zuko's head begin to spin.
A Child….
Zuko's eyes snapped open and he looked into the face of his wife.
"Hey." She smiled.
"A child…" Zuko whispered, not fully awake yet.
"You okay?" Seiko asked raising an eyebrow.
Zuko swallowed and looked around the room, his uncle stood by the door, his hands we're folded in his sleeves.
Iroh understood that he wanted to be alone with Seiko the moment their eyes met. "I'll go and get some tea." Iroh said and left the room.
Zuko sat up on his elbow's and looked to Seiko.
Seiko took a cloth from a water basin on Zuko's dresser and dabbed it on his head. Zuko swatted it away.
"Before I passed out," Zuko started. "Did-did you just tell me you were with child?" when he asked the last two words of the sentence, his voice became little more then a whisper.
Seiko sighed and put the cloth back into the water basin. "I said it was a possibility."
"What do you mean, 'a possibility'? Don't you know for sure?"
"No, I don't, I could just be stressed out and that was what made me late."
"Stressed?" Zuko asked "What would you have to be stressed about?"
Seiko sighed angrily. "you and all you're stupid Fire Lord business, traviling around the world wit you and the avatar signing treaties with all the different Nations, yeah, that tends to stress me out a little."
Zuko fidgeted with the cloth on his knee, under his armor. Slowly he raised his head and looked to Seiko, his voice was raspy and week, when he spoke it was little more then a whisper. "But what if you are with child?" Zuko said. "I mean I know that we're both betrothed, but…"
"We're both really young." Seiko finished his sentence.
"We shouldn't have," Zuko said "This is entirely my fault; I shouldn't have pressured you, when you said 'no' I should have listened. I was so-"
"Zuko!" Seiko yelled and Zuko stopped his ranting. "It'll be okay, this is life, this is how it works, there are bad things and there are good things." She smiled and grasped his hand. "Yin and Yang, remember?"
Zuko's scarred eye twitched.
Proverbs…
Seiko smiled.
There was a knock at the door.
Zuko cleared his throat and in his more normal voice called: "Come in!"
Ji stepped into the room.
"Yes?" asked Zuko.
"A water tribe girl is here to see you." He announced.
"Who?" asked Zuko.
"She says her name is Katara."
