This is Chapter Nine. Yeah. I'd like to thank my awesome reviewers who have been there since day one. I love you guys! As friends, of course.

On with the story.

Katara opened her eyes and saw iron. She groaned. Iron. Zuko. Shit.

Katrina!

No seriously Katrina's face appeared right in front of her.

She was confused as to why she was lying down until the memories of the days ago came flooding back.

Dang.

Suddenly, our favorite banished Prince walked in. He shoved Katrina away from Katara.

"If I can not talk it out of you, I will force it out of you," he said through clenched teeth. He grabbed one of her arms. He started to twist it behind her back but was suddenly tackled from behind by his "loving" sister.

"You…Will…Not…Hurt…My…Best…Friend!" Katrina shouted.

Zuko and Katrina were fighting. Not like every day sibling fighting, but mortal enemy fighting. They were really hurting each other. Zuko pulled out a dagger…

Rayna rode towards Appa with a grave look on her face. She looked down and didn't talk at all.

Flashback

Rayna wept her heart out that day. She took Takeo's body out behind his house and buried him with Sokka and Aang. She then took a large boulder, and with her firebending molded it to be a statue of Takeo. She looked once at the grave and then turned to leave.

End flashback

When they finally got back to camp, Rayna got off Dagger's Point and walked toward the beach.

She waded out into the water. Farther and farther. She then dunked her head under.

Sokka ran after her and rescued her before she died.

She looked up at Sokka. Before she fainted, a single tear fell down her cheek.

Zuko was thrown off his own ship. He had stuck his own sister on the arm with his own dagger. He was ashamed of himself. He swam towards shore and sat on the beach.

"Sokka, I am so sorry," Rayna said after she had woken up.

"Rayna, I understand. I felt like that when my mom died," he replied.

Rayna looked down. Sokka lifted her chin with his finger. He brushed away the tear on her check.

"Don't cry," Sokka murmured. Then he kissed her.

Zuko woke up when someone poked him.

"Zuko…Zuko…ZUKO!" Katrina shouted. He bolted upright and looked around wildly.

"Zuko calm down. It's only me. Your ship is in the harbor and I came to get you," Katrina said soothingly.

"But what about your arm?" Zuko asked.

Katrina showed him an arm that was tightly bound in a cast. Zuko felt so bad that he actually hugged her. (A/N can you imagine that?) Katrina hugged back and then said, "Come on, let's go."

Zuko reluctantly got up and headed back towards his ship, knowing a nightmare was about to come.

It was worse than he expected. Whatever slimmer of respect the crew had for him was now gone. They glared at him passing in the halls, and muttered under their breath about him.

Most of the time Zuko locked himself in his room. The only people he let in were Iroh and Katrina. He completely avoided Katara.

How will they end up together? Try and guess.

All of my reviewers are the best people I have never met. You guys are so awesome; it is too hard to put into words. All of these chapters are dedicated to you guys.

I love you all. (Especially Joe –blush-)

Zuko: Wait a second, if you like Joe, why is your penname ZukoKrazy?

Me: Because, Zuko, you are my favorite character.
