Summary ; Zuko wants to join in with the Avatar and the two water tribe siblings. But during his time with them they all face dangers of the Fire Nation's Geisha village, in which Zuko had previously saved Katara from and now the "Geishas" come back to haunt them. Through all this time Zuko and Katara get a little too close for Sokka's comfort.

oOo Two Sides of the River oOo

"You-," Sokka points at Zuko," Cannot be trusted!" Sokka shouted. Just to make his point clear, he stomped on the cold, damp grass and swung his arm in front of him, as if cutting the misty thick air with his arm.

"How can you not trust me?" he continued," I freed the Avatar (A/N: referring when he was the masked blue guy) and helped your sister free from the Fire Nation's Geisha Village!" Zuko growled, " I've been a lot more help then you have and I wasn't even this team of yours!

Sokka hissed, "But still-," he huffed, "why do you want to join my team, anyway!" he said, ever so arrogantly.

Zuko looked the ground remembering when his uncle, Iroh, was killed……

oOo FlashBack oOo

In the Fire Nations temple, screams of intense battle, hard breathing and the smell of burnt cloth arise thorough the clouds on top of a mountain, just on the border of Fire Nation.

The Fire Nations Lord, also known as the father of Prince Zuko, had "gracefully" hurled a fireball at Prince Zuko.

Zuko, being in tune with Nature, dodged, with a quick jump to the side landing on his feet like a cat, the fireball coming straight toward him but unbeknownst to them, Iroh included, the fireball went SMACK straight to Iroh himself.

Feeling exhausted with such a strong hit, Iroh fell to the ground, his haori burnt to a black crisp, and feeling the pain of his burnt chest, he tried to relax, but with no prevail he screamed in utter pain.

"No! Uncle, " Zuko fell to the ground in anguish., seeing his uncle in such pain.

Watching the scene unfold, and definitely enjoying it he came up with a quick and devious plan.

Deciding to finish the job and scare his son out of his Kingdom, he shot more fireballs at Iroh, whom is on the ground breathing hard in pain. Moving his hands gently through the air professionally he said the last words his brother would hear…

"Die, you fool," Ozaoi smirked and led the concentrated flames to Iroh's frail form…..

oOo End Flashback oOo

Looking back up and thoroughly pissed off, he glared full force at Sokka, ' I will avenge your death, Uncle, and obliterate the Fire Nation's lord, who can never be as my Father,' he thought viciously.

Looking side to side, Sokka said," Are you looking at me? WHAT DID I DO?"

Once again, growling like a dog with a thirst for blood, "Do not ask such a question for it is none of your business of my reasons wanting to-" he was cut off, in mid-demand.

Hissing like a kitty, "Shut up you too!" she pointed at Sokka with her left arm at her side curled into a fist, "Sokka! You are not the Leader of this group!"

"But-"

"NO! You are not the Leader because, in this group, we have no need for one. We are a Team, Sokka! We think things with each other and see what's for the best of our team! And we already know that Aang is okay with Prince Zuko-"

Sokka huffs arrogantly, "Hmph, Prince Zuko, it seems like me that you have a CRUSH of Mr. Prince Zuko, here."

"Sokka! I'll just ignore that comment and continue with what I was saying….. "

Zuko smirks.

"Ahem! Anyway, I say that he should….. should…..should-"

"Oh, come on already!" Sokka impatiently screams, 'It all depends on what Little-Miss-know-it-all if Prince Zuko can stay and be with us in MY group. If she says no, we'll kick him out… right after me kicking his butt, of course' he nods internally, to himself.

"I say…. That he should be with us" she agrees with herself.

Wide-eyed and his mouth to the floor in astonishment he screams in agony, " WHYYYYYYYYYYYyy, Kami? What did I do to deserve this-"

"Are you done?" smirks Zuko.

He walks up to Katara and takes her hand in his, kissing it, "Thank you Katara, I'm very grateful and I am in your debt," he mischievously looks up and straight into her azure, crystal blue eyes, 'she'll definitely help me a lot more then one way,' he smirks, handsomely.

Katara blushes and turns the other way, "Oh no, Prince Zuko-"

"Hmph, Prince Zuko……." Sokka huffs…. Again

She continues, "Heh, it's only me repaying my debt to you, of course," she shyly puts it, "nothing more."

"Oh Katara, I insist, Royal's honor," he smirks again, noticing a full blush in which that adorns her face.

Katara turned the other way again, "if you insist…… heh," she smiles shyly, noticing her hand still his.
