Alright I am writing this next chapter in advance so I can make it to my dead line. I usually like updating my story every Friday from 4:00 pm to around 7:00 pm my time, Standard Eastern time. But anyway. Thank you all so much for reviewing, again. I really enjoyed it. And somebody reviewing under the pen name star skates- that was my sister. She found out I had an account on this site so she decided to hack into my computer when I was at hip-hop class and read my story. As Internet-retarded as she is, Jacey reviewed under my account, star skates. Just to clear that up for anyone who was wondering.

And I found a couple of stories that need reorganization and pimpin'. First is Amethyst Eclipse. Her new, and first, story The Perfect Storm. It is an awesome story but needs to be read and reviewed. Also, the other story and author that needs to be recognized is the-reason-you-panic-at-the-disco. The story is So sick of Love Songs. Just thought I'd let you all know because they are both good stories for their first Avatar stories so you should check them out.

Let me do this one quick-

Thank you all to BoylessGirl52941, Monito, jerseygrl246, ditz4lfy, Zutara Lover, latafmodginkianp1618, Outsane (haven't heard from you in a while!), SokkaGirl, Sangi, C.A.M.E.O. 1 and Only, seya492, SpleefMistress, Kalloen, Avatarlover3030, and Jacey (star skates, my sister who decided to be a jerk and type a review to me through my pen name).

Chapter Ten: Forbidden Love

'The good news,' Katara thought as she strapped her shirt in and pulled down her long skirt to fit below her waist, 'Zuko proved to me he has a good heart and loves me. The bad news-' Katara sighed sadly. 'I abandoned Sokka and Aang.' With a whining groan of frustration, Katara sat back down heavily on Zuko's bed making it move for a second. She looked around then flattened a crease in the blanket folded neatly on the Prince's bed.

"I wonder what's for breakfast." She thought aloud. She walked over to the door and opened it only to reveal a certain Prince with one hand over his eyes and another in a fist about to knock on his own door.

"What are you doing?" Katara asked with a giggly tone.

"Just to make sure you weren't getting dressed or anything," Zuko said sheepishly as he uncovered his eyes with a little flush of pink on his cheeks. The two were in awkward silence for a few seconds, which to them seemed like forever. "So, breakfast is ready." Zuko said trying to make a conversation. She nodded sweetly. "After our meal I was thinking we could go to the market district."

"But what about Zhao? You aren't even supposed to be on Avatar Azor's island." Katara responded.

"Oh yeah, you fell asleep on the way back to the ship- like five minutes after we started walking back. Anyway, right after I got on the ship my Uncle said Zhao's goon assistant came by. My Uncle Iroh said he barely got passed him. Right when I got back with you we left. And it's an hour before noon- we're about three small islands from the full Avatar Azor district." Zuko explained as they began walking.

"Oh. I hadn't known that." Katara said blushing about having Zuko carry her back to his ship as she slept in his arms. "I guess you should have told me, huh?"

"Yeah, I guess I probably should have."

"So, let's eat!" Katara said enthusiastically.

"Urgh! I cannot believe this!" Aang said pacing back and forth angrily where Zuko's boat once was shipped on the shore. Sokka just lazily sat back and relaxed on Appa's back barely listening to Aang rant on and on. "How could we not have waken up? Zuko is no ninja. He may be quiet, but I am a light sleeper and I think I would have heard Katara screaming when he kidnapped her!" Aang screamed stomping back over to Sokka and Appa. Sokka rolled his eyes and hopped off Appa and landed in front of Aang.

"Listen kid, I didn't want to tell you this, but- I did wake up when Zuko came for her." Sokka began to confess.

"And what happened? Did he stuff her in a bag? Put a cloth in her mouth so she couldn't say or scream anything? What did he do to her?" Aang asked impatiently.

Sokka took a deep breath.

"The only thing he did to her was kiss her. And- and she let him." Aang was silent. No body language, no noise- no movement. Nothing.

"Aang, I'm sorry-"

"I don't believe you." Aang replied in a monotone. Sokka's eye widened.

"W-what makes you think I would lie about my sister making out with our foe?" Sokka asked him.

"Because-" He began darkly pointing his finger right in Sokka's face. "because you've turned on me. You have betrayed me! I HATE YOU!" Aang punched Sokka angrily in the lip then kicked him in the crotch before running away into the forest screaming, "I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU!"

Sokka fell to the ground in pain; his lip bleeding. Momo jumped beside Sokka.

"He's gone completely nuts."

"Zuko," Katara began as she looked up at the tall and poised Prince. "this doesn't feel right. I have an unsettling feeling in the pit of my stomach." Katara told him.

"Maybe it's all those frosted cream puff flakes you scarfed down at breakfast." Zuko scoffed.

"No, I mean," Katara sighed. "I think with Sokka and Aang is where I belong. I don't think I can go on here." Katara said disappointed in herself. "Zuko, I'm sorry. I should have never agreed to come back with you." Katara began to cry as she turned the other way.

Zuko didn't turn around to comfort her. He was silent himself. He deeply sighed and closed his eyes, meditating to keep his cool in his mind.

"I won't force you to stay with me. At least- not if you don't want to be here." Zuko said.

"No," Katara said facing up at Zuko, grasping his hands in hers. "It's not that. I do love you-" She said pulling his face closer to hers and kissing it. "It's just that- this love that we share- it's forbidden."

"Fine. Then Katara, you should go." Zuko said as he wiped away Katara's tear.

"Yes. Leaving is for the best."

A/N: Ooo….dun dun dun- now, the way I am planning this, I think I can finish my first full-fledged story in two chapters! So sad -tears-. But it is also relieving. I won't stop writing. Right when I finish this story, I'll start another one.

Please review!

And sorry for such a short chapter! I think this is my shortest yet!
