PrinceDiamondLuver: Konichiwa everyone! Here we are in chapter 7, I am so glad you all love this story, it makes me so happy I want to cry –happy teardrop-.

Zuko: You are such a dork PDL, can we focus on me and my problem in the story now!

PrinceDiamondLuver glares and smacks Zuko upside the head, then smiles to her devoted fans.

PrinceDiamondLuver: Let us continue onto the story now, shall we?

"Aang… Sokka…"

Katara stood there numb as she murmured their names, this was supposed to be a happy reunion, wasn't it?

"C'mon Katara, we're here now, let's go!" Sokka urged, Aang nodding eagerly.

Katara's heart felt as if it were ripped from her body and stomped on till it could bare no more, she was going to have to make the biggest decision of her life.

"Aang… Sokka… I want to stay here… with Zuko" She said softly, avoiding their eyes as she spoke her heart.

"What?" Sokka said in disbelief, praying to Kami-sama that he heard her wrong.

Aang stood there silent, his mouth agape.

"I want to stay with Zuko… I… I have… fallen in love with him" She said with difficulty to the disappointed faces before her.

"No…" Aang whispered painfully, backing away "How could you?"

Sokka swallowed the immense sadness, but urged Aang back to Appa, that Katara had made her decision, as wrong as it was.

And off they went, fading into the clouds.

"What have I done?" Katara murmured.

"Do not worry, my darling, your brother will understand one day and come to accept us, and as for the avatar, his opinion does not matter" Zuko said, places a warm hand on her shoulder.

"Zuko" Katara said, turning to him "Your not still going to try and turn Aang over to your father, are you?"

"Yes, my love, I have no choice" he said seriously, his hand lovingly caressing her face.

"Perhaps I should have gone with them" Katara whispered sadly.

Zuko's face twisted with confused anger and tightly grasped her shoulders in his hands, giving her a light shake.

"Why? I thought you said you loved me!" Zuko yelled, ignoring the curious stares of his men.

"I do, I love you so very much, but I cannot sacrifice Aang to be with you, either he is spared or I leave" Katara murmured sadly, tears foaming beneath her eyes, threatening to spill down her cheeks.

"Perhaps we can work out a compromise, a plan maybe, for Aang as you call him, to escape my fathers palace after we have presented Aang to him" Zuko said, knowing in his heart of passionate fire that he would do anything for his beloved.

"Oh Zuko!" Katara cried happily, leaping into his arms "Thank you!"

Zuko, having finally noticed the curious stares of his men, ushered Katara into his cabin, where they could have privacy.

Katara sat her self on the bed while Zuko stood.

"Do you promise, my handsome prince, to keep your word to me" Katara said with loving eyes.

"Of course I do, and when we are Emperor and Empress of the fire nation, we can change things for the better, I promise you this, all of it" Zuko said, finally meaning something for once in his life.

"When shall we tell Aang and Sokka of your plan?" Katara asked, loving the man before her more than anything.

"Tomorrow, they won't go too far, we'll find them" He said, smiling reassuringly "For now…"

Zuko sat beside his love on his bed and drew her close to him, immediately reacting to his impulse to devour her lips with his.

"Do you remember that night with the pirates?" Katara whispered hotly against his lips.

"Every blistering second, why?" he asked, wanting only to act on his sexual urges.

"I could never stop thinking about it, about how much I wanted you" Katara murmured as Zuko worked at unfastening her clothes, baring her splendid nudity to his eyes.

"Neither could I" he admitted. His hand slid over her breast, cupping the cool roundness until the peak was rosy and hard in his palm "we seem to be a flammable combination, more so than I expected".

"It's not always like this then?" she asked, letting her fingers explore the deep groove of his spine and the tough-knit muscle on either side it (yes, she did remove his shirt at some point).

Her touch, simple as it was, disrupted the rhythm of his breath as he leaned over her. "No" he murmured, resting one long leg against her thighs "hardly ever".

"why-" she began to question him, but stopped with a faint moan as he traced the satin under curve of her breast with the edge of his thumb. Containing her narrow ribcage in his, he bent over her chest. His lips were hot and light as they opened over a tightly budded nipple. She let out a gasping cry at the tender tugs of his mouth, his tongue flicking her sensitive flesh until she could no longer remain still beneath him. Her legs parted involuntarily, and immediately she somehow got his pants and undergarments off of him and he filled the space between her legs with his own rough haired thigh. As his hands and mouth wandered slowly over her body, Katara lifted her hands to his head, letting the thick blacks waves slip through her fingers as she had always so longed to do. He kissed the fragile skin of her wrists, and the insides of her elbows, and the shallow depressions of her ribs, leaving no part of her unexplored. she let him do as he wished, oh she loved him so.

Before anymore could be said or thought, Zuko gently arranged her body with caressing hands "sweetheart, I won't hurt you" he whispered against her cheek "Let me pleasure you… let me inside you…".

He continued to murmur to herm while he kissed and caressed his way stealthily down her body. By the time his dark head reached the shadowy ingress between her thighs, Katara was moaning repeatedly. His mouth found her, nuzzling past the crinkled hair and tiny silken ruffles of pink flesh, his tongue gliding over her in curling strokes, exploring her mercilessly. The tip of his tongue gliding over every fold and crevice. The sight of his dark head between her thighs was a visceral jolt to her senses. The room around them blurred, and she felt as if she was floating amid layers of shadows and candlelight, conscious of nothing but exquisite, twisting rapture. She could hide nothing from him, could do nothing but surrender to the demanding mouth that solicited unholy delight from her awakening flesh. He centered on the peak of her sex, licking softly, steadily, until finally it be came too much to endure and she felt her hips rise of their own accord, quivering against his mouth, heated jetting through her pleasure wracked limbs.

Giving her sated please a last savoring lick, Zuko worked his way back up her body. He thighs were limp as he pushed them apart, the head of his shaft nudging her. Looking down into her dazed face, Zuko smoothed her hair backs from her forehead.

The pressure between her legs increased, delivering the first imitation of pain "The next part will hurt a bit my darling, but not for long" Zuko whispered lovingly, wanting his love to know what was ahead.

Katara nodded, giving him the signal to continue.

He lowered his head and began to whisper in her ear, even as he tightened his hips to breach her untried flesh. She forced herself to hold still despite to instinct to write away from the intrusion. "Sweetheart…"

His breath became ragged as he paused within her, he seemed to struggle for self control. "Yes, that's it… just a little bit more…" he moved in another careful advance and hesitated again. "A little more…"

He deepened his entry in lingering degrees, carefully courting her body into accepting him "More…".

"How much more?" she gasped. He was too hard, the pressure was too intense, oh but how she wanted him!

Zuko gritted his teeth at the effort it took to hold still. "I'm about halfway there" he finally managed.

But he kept impelling himself deeper, trying to sooth her pain with his mouth and hands. Gradually it became easier, the pain fading into a mild prolonged burn. A long sigh escaped her as she felt her body yielding, her virginal flesh conceding to the inevitability of his possession. Zuko's back was a mass of tightly cobbled muscle, his belly as hard as carved wood. Holding himself deep inside her, he groaned, while a shiver ran across his shoulders.

"You're so tight" he said hoarsely, he voice was slurred, as if drunk on pleasure.

They studied each other, one gaze sated, the other brilliant with yearning.
