A/N HI! Wow, this Fanfic is doing better than I expected! Better than my crossover Zutaras! Well here it is! Chapter 2!
Disclaimer: I wish I owned Avatar, I don't ok? Happy? Good.
Katara's breathing became rapid as she aimed for the two firebenders.
"Ha! Girl! You can't shoot that! You don't have the heart to! You should just go back to your little friends and sew and cook like women are suppose to do!" Zhao shouted.
That was it! That was what drove Katara up the wall! She yelled and shot it towards Zhao. He grunted as the arrow struck him on the shoulder. No one, and she meant no one, can portray her as a weak girl, or any girls in that matter. She gritted her teeth as she saw the admiral (A/N Oh yeah by the way, this is when Zuko still has his ponytail and didn't get those horrible scars that was given to him when Zhao blew up his boat.) gasp in pain. She didn't think twice about curing his injury. He deserved it.
Zuko moved.
Katara quickly pulled out another arrow and aimed it at him. "Don't move, or you'll end up like your buddy over there."
Zuko wasn't about to take orders from a water peasant like her, but he saw what she did to Zhao. She had a ruthless side to her, and he didn't want to see that side of her. He kneeled back down and growled silently.
Katara backed off into the forest, still taking aim. She relaxed and brought down her weapon. That's when someone grabbed her from behind and carried her to the prince. "Hey! Put me down!" She struggled in the soldiers grasp. Zuko smirked and said, "Fooled you, always have an ace in the hole…"
Katara bit her lip and glared at the prince. The soldier took her to the cell and threw her in. "Hey! At least try to be a bit gentler!" She kicked the steel walls in frustration and groaned.
Great, I'm not going to hear the end of this if Sokka finds me in here trapped. He'll laugh in my face for the rest of my life!
She groaned again and sank to the ground. She couldn't try the method she used with Zhao, these were steel walls anyways, no arrow could plunge through these. She sighed and brought her knees up to her chest. She tried to feel bit sorry for the admiral, but no such feeling came. Feeling pleased with herself, she almost forgot the fact that she was in a cold, dinky, dark, cell.
After quite a while, she heard someone opening the door. To her dismay it was the exiled prince. He glared at her and she glared back, but she lost, she looked away after a few seconds, those topaz eyes were really sharp. She looked down and bit her lip as he walked towards her. She closed her eyes and prayed for a miracle. Frankly, none occurred.
Ugh! The sprits must be testing me…
Katara sighed as she racked up her mind and looked once again at the prince, not looking into his eyes directly.
So? Hurry up and ask me what you wanted and leave already!
He sat down on the stool and said, "I never knew a peasant could do that, shooting an admiral."
She lifted her gaze and met his. She wasn't expecting She blushed a little and quickly looked away again.
Zuko couldn't have said that to he?
"Well, anyways, the Avatar has to come fore you sooner or later, so I'll just keep you comfy here." He smirked and walked out the door. As soon as he left, Katara blinked at what he said.
Maybe there is a good side to him….something I never seen before?
She sighed and laid down on the bed provided. The bed wasn't soft, but it was better than sleeping out in the forests, living in fear, and sleeping on the ground. Sleep quickly consumed her as the thoughts of what Sokka and Aang were doing swam around her head. She set down her weapons next to the bed and drooped her eyelids.
---------------------
Everything was blurry right when she woke up, but she quickly took notice of Zuko sitting down in front of her. She bolted up and asked suspiciously, "What were you doing watching me sleep?"
He shook his head slowly and chuckled. "Why would I want to in the first place? I just came in here to give you food and make sure our, (sarcasm) VIP guest was comfortable." (End sarcasm)
Katara glared at him and mumbled thanks before taking an apple from the plate. He got up and left, freezing at the doorway, then went out.
Jeez, what was he doing watching me sleep? Maybe….no…can't be….can't like me….can he? Nah, must…must just be hormones teen guys have.
She hummed, and sang, but nothing worked, she was forever more trapped on this scrap metal the prince called a ship. She groaned loudly and banged her head against the wall.
So bored…..must be something to do….
That's when she thought of plan, to maybe win her freedom. She smiled at it and thought it was foolproof.
-------------------
As soon as Zuko walked into the cell to give the waterbender lunch, he saw her leaning against the wall, moaning. "What's the matter? Are you hurt?"
Katara was surprised at his concern, but everything was going according to plan. She just let out a sharp grunt as an answer. The prince bent over and picked her up bridal-style. He walked her out of her room and over to the healer.
His body is so warm…..WAIT! I have to stay focused! I can't fall for this spoiled brat!
But he was really hot!
So what?
So…he would make one hell of a kisser!
Shut up….
She clutched her sides in "pain" as Zuko carried her to the healer. As soon as he came in, the healer, startled, dropped his jar of cotton, causing the cotton to spill out. "Oh, Prince Zuko! Uh, what brings you here?" The healer, still startled.
"I'm here to request medical attention for this girl."
"Ah, I see, well you can just leave her here and I'll take care of her until then."
"Thank you." With that, Zuko walked out the door.
Katara sighed and faced the healer. She learned this from the few waterbenders in the South Pole, hit a pressure point on their neck and they faint. Katara smiled asked, "Uh, wait before you can heal me, can I see something?"
"Sure, what should it-"
Before the man could finish the sentence, Katara poked his pressure point and rendered him unconscious.
Sorry for that, but I need to get off of this ship!
She quietly opened the door and broke the door handle to the medical room.
By the time they find out I knocked the guy out, I'll be long gone, they'll never know it…
She quietly ran, trying to find a way out to the ship's deck. As soon as she found the deck, she sprinted out, panting, Katara looked around and saw they were heading towards an island. Good, finally, I can escape from there.
The more the ship got closer to shore, the more Katara's heart leaped. Then, the noise from behind her, crushed her dreams. She spun around and saw the prince, glaring at her. Great….
