A thank you goes to winry-13 for helping me with ideas.


'Ouch, my head' Katara thought as she held her head while waking towards the rising moon, it's light shimmering against the calm ocean waves. Her neck was throbbing as well, proving to be confusing for the young waterbender.

Her eyes widened as she reminisced the previous, one-sided battle that took place before she was rendered unconscious. 'Zuko' she thought. She stood up in anger, remembering the fact that he kissed her neck, like lovers would. She blushed as she also recalled how she had secretly enjoyed it, and if he weren't the enemy, she would probably fall for him.

'Katara, stop thinking like this' she told herself, as she stood up and headed back for camp. They should be preparing to leave soon, she told herself. Yea, that's right. They would leave and Zuko would once again be on their trail…

'Why do my thoughts always lead back to him?' she asked herself in frustration. She washed her face with the cool icy water, and left for her camp.


Katara was afraid.

Not only for herself, but also for her brother and for Aang, even Appa and Momo were missing when she appeared back in camp.

Everything was gone.

It looked rushed, as if they wanted to leave Katara here. 'No, they wouldn't do that' She reassured herself. She walked around the area where their camp was held.

She found one of her belongings.

It was a brush, with intricate design on the back, and it was on the floor, covered in mud and soot. She looked behind a few trees when she saw a bit of smoke.

Her belongings, not all of them, were also covered in soot, and on the ground was a note. The fire belonged to the fire made to keep herself and her friends warm, but it was weakening. Katara hesitantly read the note , as if she knew what was going to be written on it.

Dear Katara,

Sorry to have left without notice, but Zuko took Sokka, and I had to get him. Momo is with me, so is Appa. Your stuff is still there, so you can keep in charge of whatever items we left behind so animals won't get them. I have a feeling Zuko wants to talk to you. I'm not sure when I'll be back.

Signed, Aang

Katara held a hand to her mouth, to silence the gasp that was sure to come out. Her brother was kidnapped, and Aang was gone, meaning, she was alone.

There was no doubt in her mind Zuko would come back to fight her.

"Some friends you have. Looks like they left you." Katara's eyes widened as she looked behind her. Of course, there stood a smirking Zuko, his back leaning on a tree, and his arms were crossed. One leg was leaning onto the tree as well.

"Where is Sokka?" she asked, no shouted, angrily to the banished firebender. Zuko shrugged.

"You mean that bumbling buffoon you call a brother?" he asked lazily. Katara decided not to comment on that.

"Where is he?"

Zuko plainly ignored her as he walked closer to the girl, who had an ice whip ready.

"Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, do you really think that would stop me?" he said as he ran fast, so quickly that Katara didn't notice him until he stood behind her, bending her arm in order for to let go of the liquid whip. Unfortunately for her, she did, and Zuko prepared a fireball from his hand and held it to her face.

"I'm sure you want a scar like mine, don't you Katara", he stated hissing her name, which she did not realize how he had gotten it in the first place.

"Let me go." She said struggling. He, of course, did not listen to the cries coming from the waterbender and he only brought his own face closer to hers, releasing the fireball onto an unknown tree.

"I know you enjoyed that first kiss placed on you neck." He whispered in her ear, as Katara shivered. He only smirked as squirmed. "Let me add to the collection." He said as he placed more and more kisses down her smooth neck, her struggling only arousing Zuko more.

Zuko stopped to bite down on the girl's neck, near the collar of her shirt, just to be nice. The last thing he needed was her brother gaining up on him. When he moved, a hickey could be seen forming on the angry girl's neck. She refused to give him satisfaction, anytime, and anywhere.

"Aw… the weakling won't say anything." He stated. Katara let out a battle cry to try and form another water whip, or an ice whip to hit hard, so he could get off, no matter how much she liked the attention and the kisses.

"Now, now, no need to be a bad girl." He said, and released Katara only slightly so that she could turn around, which she did, and he caught her in the movement before she could escape. Katara only then noticed how close their faces were, their noses basically touching, and she tried leaning her head back, only to have Zuko kiss her straight on the lips.

Her lips were shut tightly, and Zuko could not have that. He licked her lower lip so she would open up, but it took a while, so Zuko squeezed her arm, leaving Katara to gasp, which gave Zuko the chance to enter his tongue into her mouth. His forceful tongue battled her shy tongue for dominance.

'This is wrong' Katara thought, but her body would not listen as she was brought even closer to the firebender. Semi-consciously, her hands were able to reach his neck, and she held on tightly as Zuko moved from her mouth down to her neck, licking her collarbone as Katara gave out a soft moan. He bit her neck twice, leaving two hickeys, something that would bother Katara in the future.

Zuko soon let go of her, yet Katara held on, tired and panting from the experience. It was only then that Katara realized what they were doing, and she moved from him, her back facing him.

"What do you think you were doing?" she yelled out to him, still not facing his cocky grin. He came closer to her silently and wrapped his arms around her petite waist, as Katara stiffened from the touch.

He brought his mouth to her ear once more, and bit the top of her ear, while Katara bit her lip in order to stop the moan that was threatening to come out. "I know you liked that… don't you dare deny it." And with that, he disappeared like magic. Katara turned around in order to try and find him, but it was useless.

"How dare that firebending, arrogant pretty boy try and kidnap me!" Katara turned to find her brother. She immediately covered her neck, and ran towards him to give him a hug.

"There you are!" she said in happiness, forgetting the incident.

"Yea, Zuko took Sokka somewhere, I had to find him. Sorry we left you alone. Zuko didn't come, did he?" Aang added.

"No", Katara stated, not bothering to tell them Zuko was indeed here, only a few moments ago.
