"Char!"

Kaori smiled and walked up to him and waved.

"Hello Kaori," he replied putting his book down.

"I thought maybe today I could show you around the village," Kaori said happily.

"Alright. Mind if I bring my book?"

Kaori gave him a sad face.

"Am I that boring?" she asked.

"No not at all! It's just that..this book belonged to my parents and I like to hold onto it because it reminds me of them,"

"I feel the same way about this toy pig I have,"

"A toy pig?"

"Hey I was five alright?"

He laughed. Kaori showed him the way to her garden on the beach. Char smiled.

"A moon plant right?" he asked.

Kaori gaped at him.

"How did you know?" she exclaimed.

"I spent time at a water tribe. They had a lot of these. Looks like it took you a long time to grow," Char said.

"It did..."Kaori said softly.

She stared at him. Those eyes... They were deep and brown. A soft brown yet she could get lost in them. Quickly she snapped out of it and looked away from him blushing. Char's hand brushed against hers. She caught him staring at her. Before he could speak Kaori took a step away from him.

"So Char how bout I show you some other places,"Kaori said.

Char blinked then chuckled.

"Sure," he said.

"Hey, Char," Kaori said suddenly.

"Yeah?"

"The full moon is tomorrow...how bout you and me come back here and watch the moon plant shine,"

"Sounds great. I always thought the moon would show something for what it really is,"

"Great! I have to get home now, but I'll see you tomorrow,"

"Yes..."Kaori turned to walk away and Char watched her go,"Tomorrow it is..."

He snickered and pulled something from his pocket and stared at it. His smile grew wider and he closed his eyes. The blade gleamed in the sun.

"Tomorrow it is..." he whispered.

"Excuse me, Prince Zuko?" asked a voice.

Zuko turned around to see Aliruko standing in the doorway.

"Yes?" he asked.

Aliruko looked around nervously.

"I have news about...Kaori,"

"What is it?"

"Well..she's been caught walking around town with...a man,"

"What do you mean?"

"His name is Char. I think...I think he may be trying to...well...lets put it as take her away from you,"

"I should go talk to her...why wouldn't she tell me?"

"I don't know,"

Aliruko walked out and smiled. She watched Zuko quickly walk out of the room and down the hall. She snickered and ran off.

xXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Uncle Iroh was at the docks. He was leaving for it was his last moments on the island before he had to go back to the Fire Nation Capital. There was buisness there to attend to. Zuko ran up to him.

"Uncle, have you seen Kaori around?" he asked.

"No but Zuko before I go, I must tell you something,"

"What is it?"

"There is a boy on the island...I don't know his name but I think it starts with a c...anyway I saw him earlier today,"

"So?"

"So, he had a mark on his sholder. He saw me looking at the mark and quickly covered it up. Do you know what that mark it?"

"I have a pretty good guess,"

Uncle Iroh nodded. Zuko glanced around.

"I have to go find Kaori and warn her Uncle. Thank you," he said running off.

The mark. It was most likely the mark of the fire nation. Of course... That means that Char worked for...No... Kaori...

She was in great danger.

There was a noise. Zuko, who was standing in the middle of the town turned around. For some reason the whole town had been emptied. There was a paper on a doorway saying that the whole town was to go to a picnic on the other side of the island. Of course that was most likely a decoy. But Zuko wasn't paying attention to the note, he was paying attention to Char who stood infront of him.

"Are you Prince Zuko?" he asked.

"Are you Char?"

"Tsk tsk tsk,"Char shook his head,"You should know not to answer a question with a question,"

In a flash he had Zuko's hands bound. Before Zuko knew it he was pushed back into an iron room and the door slammed shut. He blinked. Never had he seen such speed like that. It was incredible. His hands burned the rope that bound his hand. Zuko ran to the window of the room. He could see Aliruko walking by.

"Aliruko! Aliruko!" he shouted.

She turned and looked at Zuko, with her eyes full of panic. She turned quickly and walked away heading for the palace.

Zuko took a step back and shot a fireball at the door. It dented a tad. It would be a while until the door gave way though. He hoped Kaori would last that long.

"Hello there Kaori," Char said smiling.

They were at the beach. The moon was just about to come. Kaori smiled back at him.

"Hello Char,"

She was about to sit down when Char caught her arm. He pulled her close to him.

"Char- what are you doing?" Kaori stammered.

"Kaori...kiss me,"

"No! Char stop!"

Char pushed her away so she fell into the sand. She looked up at him with her eyes wide.

"Char? What are you doing?"

He looked up at the sky. The moon shone and the moon plant bloomed.

"Kaori...you are blind...the ones who will cause pain to you are right there. You just can't see it. The moon can show who they really are..."

He took out the blade from his back pocket.

"Now Kaori..I will tell you what. Give the child to Zhao and I promise to let you go without a scratch,"

Kaori's eyes flared. She stood up.

"You work for Zhao! I trusted you Char! How could you?"

"Kaori you are too dense! Now what do you say?"

"No! Never!"

Char shrugged.

"Too bad,"

He came at her. Quickly Kaori dodged. Char snickered. He swung at her and it cut her hair. Kaori watched the hair fall to the ground.

"My hair!" she shreiked.

"Damn I missed," Char mumbled.

Just then Zuko came running out. He was breathing hard and mostly out of energy. He ran over to Kaori.

"Are you alright?" he asked her.

"I'm fine," Kaori said.

"Oh look the happy couple. Die together then," Char said.

Zuko quickly turned to Kaori.

"Kaori," he said.

Kaori stared at him trying to figure out what he was thinking. Her eyes got wide. The palace. Otaki.

"Go now! I'll be alright," Zuko said.

Kaori nodded and ran. Char started to run after her but Zuko hit his leg with fire. Char yelped and staggered forward.

"You bastard," he muttered.

(uh I can't do battles...tehe...)

Zuko shot a flame at Char and it hit Char in the chest. He fell to the ground clutching his chest. Blood covered his hands.

"Zhao will get his apprentice..." he muttered before he slowly died.

Zuko sighed and fell to his knees. He had to get to Kaori. But he couldn't. There was no energy in him whatsoever. He fell to the ground.

xXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Kaori ran into Otaki's room. Aliruko stood in the room with a strange man. The man held Otaki in his arms. Aliruko stared at Kaori.

"Kaori, quickly he's taking the baby!" she yelled.

Kaori lunged for the man but he laughed and cut her wrist. Kaori screamed. Otaki started crying.

"Zhao has his apprentice girly. You'll never see your child again," he said before dissipearing out the window.

Kaori gripped her wrist. She turned to Aliruko.

"Get bandages...NOW!" she yelled.

Aliruko ran out of the room and returned soon with bandages. Kaori wrapped her wrist up and stood up. Zuko walked in later to find her standing at the window staring out it.

"My baby...he took my baby," she whispered,"She will be his apprentice and he will treat her like shit..."

She fell into Zuko sobbing.

"I know...I know," he said softly.

Zhao's place

A small girl at the age of five stood up. She had been named Felice. She was alone and tired yet her master had called for her. He looked the girl over. She was showing signs of being a firebender. That was for the best. He would train her to be strong.

"Come here Felice," he said.

She walked towards him trained not to speak unless he asked her a question.

"Do you pleage loyalty to me?" he asked.

She nodded.

Zhao tossed a flame in his hand. He glanced at the girl and smiled. Then he grabbed the right side of her face and pressed the flame against it. Felice screamed in agaony. (sry for spell) A servant nearby gasped.

"Excuse me sir, but why did you do that?" he asked,"She did nothing,"

"It's not that she did nothing now servant...It's so she won't do anything in the future,"

He walked past the crying girl and snickered.

"Felice...get ready to train,"He commanded.

"The girl stood up with her hair covering half her face.

"Yes master," she said.
