This one took some time, I didn't knew how to say some words in English, so I just took what seemed right. (P.S.: The younger ones under you people probably can't understand a part of this story, but don't get your mommy or daddy to help you: they would lock the site, just to "protect" you:P)

Chapter 5

Secret

Later that night, Zuko and Katara were still on the deck. They sat against the iron sides of the ship, and Zuko had both of his arms around Katara's body. Katara leaned against his chest, and softly rubbed over it.

Zuko enjoyed the moment they were having. Things where going very quick, he only knew her real side for a day or two, and that night they've already kissed several times.

Katara yawned and held him tight.

'I really love you, Zuko.' she whispered.

Zuko kissed her in her neck and she felt his breath in her ear.

'I love you too.' he whispered back.

She hugged him, and Zuko gave her some more tender kisses in her neck.

'I swear I'll always love you, I swear I'll never have feelings for somebody else, and I swear I'll never hurt you…' he whispered.

Katara nearly melted when she heard his warm words. She thought about Sokka, and what he would say of this. Of course he wouldn't accept her relationship with Zuko, he would blame Zuko of using her for his own good, but Zuko really wasn't such a selfish boy.

She sighed and stared in his eyes.

'We really can't tell anyone about this.' she said.

Zuko lifted a eyebrow.

'What? Why not? Are you ashamed of me?' His voice sounded very disappointed.

Katara shook her head immediately.

'Of course I'm not ashamed of you, Zuko! It's just… my brother and Aang wouldn't understand. They would call me insane and Sokka would even try to hurt you. I don't want that to happen…'

Zuko touched her cheek and nodded.

'I understand. But this doesn't mean that we can't meet each other like tonight, right?'

Katara shook her head again.

'I wouldn't survive without nights like this one with you.'

Zuko smiled, and Katara kissed his lips, they held the kiss for a few seconds. After that kiss, more kisses followed. Kisses filled with passion, and they went on for a couple minutes. They slightly slided downward, and were kissing while laying on the floor, Katara on top of Zuko. The kisses were soft and intense at the same time, and it lasted for a few more minutes.

After that, Katara giggled.

'Did we just make out?' she asked, still giggling.

Zuko blushed, a feeling he was getting used to.

'I think so…'

Just as they wanted to continue their kissing, Sokka yelled Katara's name.

Katara gasped and stood up.

'Oh no! Sokka can't see us this way!' she panicked.

Zuko calmed her down, and took her to the other side of the ship, away from Sokka.

He held Katara tight.

'Listen, you go over to your brother, and say you went out for a walk. I'll be hiding so he can't find out.'

Katara nodded, and with one last passionate kiss they said goodbye.

Before Katara went to her brother, she looked at Zuko one more time.

'I can't wait untill next night.' she whispered.

She walked to her brother, and Zuko released a sigh of relief.

She was so perfect.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The next day, Katara woke up in her sleeping bag. She thought about last night, and still felt Zuko's kisses. She was never been so close with anyone.

She crawled out of the bag, and looked at Sokka, who was still asleep.

He believed the lie she had to tell him, and he had no idea of the relationship between her and Zuko. It was better that way, her brother wouldn't understand her feelings for the firebender. He was so kind, so sweet, and so handsome. He understood Katara at all times, and he swore he would never hurt her. Sokka wouldn't understand, but she did.

She left the room and walked to the one of Zuko, not noticing her brother saw her walking out of the room. He closed his eyes again and tried to sleep on, but he was too worried. Something was going on here, and Katara wasn't telling him the truth.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Katara opened the door and a shiver of love went through her body when she saw Zuko.

She came in and quietly closed the door. She sat next to Zuko and lay a hand on his cheek.

'Zuko…' she whispered.

Zuko opened his eyes and smiled when he saw Katara.

'Katara! I'm so happy to see you again!' he said.

Katara hugged him and didn't let go.

'The trick worked, Sokka fell for the lie. He had no clue about us and what we did.'

Zuko remembered how they were making out, and smiled again.

'But I have, and I really enjoyed it.'

Katara kissed his neck and enjoyed the warmth of his body.

'So did I.'

They kissed each other again, and Katara leaned forward. She pushed him back in the pillows, and climbed on top of his muscled body.

When Zuko decided to go a bit further, he sucked on her lips softly, making her open her mouth a bit. When the gap between her lips was big enough, he pressed his tongue between her lips, rushing a shiver of joy through his body. He groaned happily as he stroke his tongue with hers, while Katara didn't resist. He was allowed to do anything to her.

They went on like this for a while, until Zuko pulled his tongue and lips back.

'Maybe we shouldn't do this here, there is too much chance that your brother sees us.' he said, clearly disappointed.

Katara nodded, just as disappointed as Zuko. He looked upon her and gave her a hug.

'And I don't want to go too far in the beginning.' he admitted.

Katara smiled. The moment she felt Zuko's tongue in her mouth she was a bit concerned, she was afraid that he would go too far, just as any other boy would have done. But Zuko was different: he clearly respected her feelings.

'I'm so glad you think about it this way.' she said.

Zuko smiled. He could wait with "the big step" for a while, he was afraid that he would give Katara a feeling of disrespecting if he would go any further.

He looked her in the eyes and lay a finger on her lips.

'This is our secret…' he whispered.

(Damn, I spelled "To whisper" wrong for about four times! Lol my English sucked even more a few months ago than it does now? I guess I'm not a complete sucker after all!XD REVIEW!:D)
