Fire that helps Chapter 4

Katara felt something heavy draped across her. She opened her eyes and looked up, Zuko. She must have rolled during the night. She was facing his bare chest. His chest was so toned, so muscular. She sighed and snuggled closer. She closed her eyes again and tried to sleep when she realized something, Mia was missing. It was after dawn and Mia was gone. Her eyes shot open. " Zuko are you awake?" she asked.

"Yeah." He rolled over and blushed. " Sorry, I didn't want to wake you up, you seemed tiered."

"That's okay, how long have you been up?"

"Since dawn."

" Do you know where Mia went?"

" No, I thought you might know." Katara looked around. She reached up and felt the top of her head. Her hair was out. Mia had taken the ribbon that held her hair in place. She sighed and continued to look around. She spotted a piece of paper and walked over to it she picked it up and read it.

Katara and Zuko,

Please forgive me, this is for your own good. I have decided to remove myself from this group. Do not try to find me. You will only be hurt. I am sorry, but I am too recognizable. My eyes, no one else in the world has black eyes. Do not split up. Bad things happen when groups split up and continue by them selves. Find the avatar, save the world and be happy. Do not worry about me. Don't come after me. By the time you read this I will be long gone. I wish that there was another way to keep you safe, but there is not. I love you both.

Mia

Ps, Katara I took your hair ribbon. It fell out of your hair.

Katara was in shock. She dropped the paper. "What is it?" Zuko asked he picked the paper up. He read it.

" Dammit. This is the second time she did this."

" What do you mean?"

" The day I was banished, it was her 14th birthday. She came to see me, in the infirmary. They wouldn't let her in, so she came in through the window. I told I was being banished and why. She converted me, and said that she would be there when I leave. She was. The next day, my uncle received a paper, saying that she was missing. I was upset, but I didn't show it. She had plenty of reasons to run, but why now? It made me think it was my fault that she kept getting hurt, that she only stayed for me."

"Zuko, its not your fault."

"Come on, we need to get moving and find your brother and the avatar." Zuko said. He grabbed his and Katara's things and headed for the exit. " Are you coming?"

"Yeah." She got up and followed him out. The two began to walk.

Meanwhile…

Sokka groaned. He, Toph, and Aang had been searching for a month now and, no Katara. But, they were hot on her trail. They traced her to a small island and were searching it. Sokka headed into the woods to check it. He spotted a campsite. He walked toward it, No Katara. He sighed and began to look around. Then, in an instant a girl came out of no where. She pushed him up against a tree. " You, who are you and what do you want?" she demanded. For a girl, she had a very strong grip. She was also very pretty. He looked at her wrist. She had a navy blue ribbon tied around her wrist. It had Katara embellished on it.

" Hey, where did you get that ribbon?"

" Answer my question first."

" No! Katara is my sister"

"What." She cried and released his shoulder. She turned around.

" You heard me, thief!"

"I didn't steal it.

" Then where did you find it."

I'm not telling."

"Why?"

"Cause you could be lying."

" Well I'm not."

" She was my friend. I was putting her and Zuko in danger, so I left. I took this to remember her."

" You're friends with my sister!"

" Yes."

" Now answer my question."

"I'm Sokka. I'm looking for Katara. Do you know where she is."

"No, I left, I told you."

" Oh."

" You're kind of cute." She spun around and looked at him.

" Thank you." He said, quietly. "Well, um, yeah, that and your kind of well pretty."

"Thank you."

" Look out!" Sokka yelled. He jumped at her and pushed her to the ground. A stray rock flew out of nowhere. He pushed her down and landed on her. She looked up at him. He was on top of her.

" So, who's your friend?" Toph asked. She was standing to the left of Sokka and Mia.

'What?" Sokka yelled and dropped her head.

"Owe." She said

"Sorry." Sokka said to her. He stood up, blushing.

"So, who's your friend that you were just on top of?" Toph asked again

" Who's that?" Aang asked coming up from behind "Woah."

" Woah what?' Toph asked

" Woah how well um pretty that girl is." Aang said. Toph sent him flying. "What I say?"

" Shut up, blinded." Sokka snapped at Toph

" Hey don't make fun of blind people!" Mia snapped at him

"Why not?" Sokka asked

"Hey, I don't need people to stick up for me!"

"Cause its wrong." She snarled and stormed away.

"What's her problem?" Sokka asked.

"She's lying." Aang said as soon as she stormed out

" How do you know."

"I can sense it."

" Sokka, go find your new girlfriend. She said that she knew Katara." Sokka rolled his eyes. He would have protested, but he was tiered, and this girl could lead him to Katara. He ran after where the girl had gone. He didn't see her. Did she just disappear into thin air? He wondered. He looked up and she was in the tree.

" Dammit. Don't you ever leave?" she groaned and jumped down from the tree branch.

"How'd you get up there so fast?"

" I used a jumping technique."

" Where have I seen you before?"

" I don't know. Move." She shoved him aside and walked past, back to the camp.

"Hey, what did you do that for you stupid girl?" Sokka snapped. She spun around.

"I highly doubt that your intelligence is higher than mine. Filthy water peasant."

" What are you royalty."

" Used to be a nobles daughter. Removed myself from that shit hole."

"Then what right do you have to call me a filthy water peasant?"

"Mine." She snapped.

" Girls, they are so weird. You're lucky you're a girl. Or I would have kicked your ass."

" I highly doubt you could do that."

" Oh yeah?"

" Yeah."

" Well then lets go."

" Fine." Mia snapped as she pulled out her broad swords. Sokka grabbed his boomerang. He threw it at her. She ducked and threw blue fire at him.

" You're a firebender?" he exclaimed. She didn't look like a firebender.

"Yeah." She told him.

" You dirty little bitch!" he yelled.

"Why, Because I'm a firebender? You can go to hell, you racist, sexist, bastard!"

"You and all like you are already going there!"

" For your information, just because someone is a firebender doesn't mean that they are going to hell!"

"Yes it does, killer!" Sokka snapped. She stopped dead in her tracks.

"Take that back."

" No." She wrestled him to the ground.

"Take it back!" she yelled

"No!" he yelled back as he rolled over to put him on top.

Katara and Zuko had been walking for about an hour, when they heard something. "Take it back… Because I said so… If you don't watch it I'm gonna toast you…" The two looked at each other.

"Mia." They both exclaimed. Zuko broke into a run; he couldn't let her get hurt again. He burst into the clearing to find Mia wrestling with the water tribe boy. They didn't notice him. He waited until Mia was on top and grabbed the back of her shirt and pried her off him. "Mia!" he yelled.

" I told you not to come after me!"

" I didn't, we were walking and heard you yelling, your voice is a little loud." He shook her hair and she smiled. He smiled too. Sokka looked at him confused. The prince of the fire benders could smile? What the hell? Then he saw Katara.

"Zuko, why do you have to run so fast? Sokka!" she yelled as she saw her brother. She ran forward and gave Sokka a big hug.

"What's going on?" Sokka asked her.

" Katara you're back!" Aang yelled, coming through the trees. " Zuko!" he yelled, getting into fighting position.

"Katara who's this?" Mia asked Katara.

"That's Aang, Aang its okay. They're my friends." Katara said.

" You're friends with ZUKO!" Sokka screeched

"What the hell is going on?" Toph asked, confused

" Shut up Sokka. He saved me." Katara snapped

" From what? A bunny rabbit?" Sokka snapped back

" Hey!" Zuko yelled

" Well, you're definitely not a warrior." Sokka said in a matter of fact voice.

" All right, you're going down!" Zuko yelled and jumped at him. Fire started flying everywhere.

"I'm outta here." Mia yelled and ran off into the forest.

"Hey, Break it up!" Aang yelled. "Katara, can I get some help?" He ran ad Sokka and pinned his arms behind his back.

"Ow…" Sokka groaned. Katara grabbed Zuko's shoulders and pulled him backwards.

" Calm down you two. You're going to attract that freaky girl." Katara snapped at Zuko and Sokka in an angry tone. The two boys looked down.

" That freaky blue fire girl? And the one with the spiky things?" Aang asked her.

" They're here. They captured me Zuko and Mia. We got away, but I bet that they are looking for us." Katara said, looking at a tree.

" That's my sister Azula." Zuko said.

"That's your sister?" Sokka asked him.

" Yeah."

" Then who's that other girl."
"That's my best friend, Mia."

" I knew she was no good, she's best friends with a dirt bag like you." Zuko went to jump at him aging, but Katara had a strong grip on his arm.

" You're not going anywhere." She growled at him.

" What do we do with him now?" Sokka asked.

" I say we take him along with us. He might be able to help us with Azula." Katara voiced.

' Zuko would you like to join our team?" Aang looked at him and asked.

" Why not? Just be warned, Azula is deadly and precise. And insane."

" Guess it runs in the family." Sokka growled. "Okay big boy, some ground rules. 1) No firebending at people. 2) No acting all high and mighty. 3) Everyone pulled their own weight. When we find a campsite, it'll be your job to make a campfire and keep it going. You have to do that. Got it?"

" Sure." He grumbled. Katara dropped his arm.

" Hey Where's Mia?" Katara looked around.
" I don't know." Zuko groaned.

"Well we should get a move on. She looks big enough to take care of herself." Sokka announced.
