Katara slept on the bed provided as the boat continued it's voyage to the fire nation. She made friends with the men on board, finding out that they were the same crew helping Zuko along when he chased the Avatar.

Many of them recognized Katara when she swept them away in a forceful wave before.

Katara humbly apologized for that.

A week passed and they finally arrived at the fire nation port. Katara swallowed as she saw her brother, Aang, and Zuko. Suddenly, she felt sick and went over to the side of the boat to throw up.

She breathed and finally the boat came to a complete stop. Swallowing her fear, she grabbed her bag and gracefully stepped onto the ramp.

-----------------

Zuko saw the woman on the ramp, she was graceful and had a slim figure, her clothes, a dark navy blue, fashioned in a split skirt, with shorts underneath, her hair was down to her waist, hanging from her head without any accessories.

He held back a blush as she came down the ramp. Aang rushed up to her greeted her, however, Sokka, on the other hand, stood and carefully studied the girl. Then he pulled Aang away from the girl and whispered in his ear.

Aang shook his head and sighed, giving a sense of sorrow.

Zuko pulled Aang back and asked him, "What did Sokka say to you?"

"He asked me if the woman looked anything like Katara, she doesn't, the Katara I know used to smile. This girl, doesn't it look like a very sad thing happened in her life?" Aang shrugged and ran off with Sokka.

Zuko gulped and approached the woman. "If I may ask, what's your name?"

The woman, replied back, "Kita, I'm pretty sure you've heard about me from your healer, Miyuki?"

Zuko nodded as he escorted Kita to the palace.

"So, are you a bender?" Zuko asked. Kita nodded and hastily reached up to her neck and pulled away an item. All he saw was a blue flash.

"What was that?" He asked.

"N….nothing." Kita stuttered as they continued down the halls.

They stopped in front of the room where she would be staying and he opened it, revealing a purple room. "It's the only room available right now, I hope it's ok."

"It's fine." Kita said, her voice breaking down a bit.

"I promise you that I will send you anything you need."

I promise you….

I promise….

I promise to never leave you….

Zuko noticed Kita's shoulders shaking as he saw droplets of water fall to the ground.

"Is something the matter?" He asked.

"N…nothing's the matter, just leave me alone." Kita said, turning her back on him and heading towards the bathroom.

Zuko closed the door and sighed.

I know it's her, it has to be.

Katara cried over the sink as she saw the tears cascading down the marble sink. She wiped her eyes and sighed, calming herself down. Right when he said, "I promise."

She flashed back to the time when the drunks attacked her, that's when he came.

After the little fight, he whispered into her ear,

"Besides, remember that promise I made?" She stared up at him, "I promised that I'd never leave you…."

"I told you, I promised, I won't leave you ever."

She cried as she heard someone entering her room. Quietly, she peeked and noticed it was her brother Sokka. He was sneaking around the room, trying to make sense of it all.

"Excuse me? What are you doing?" Katara asked, wiping away some of the tears. Sokka nearly jumped out of his skin as he turned around and looked at her. "Oh, I'm just…"

"You know it's rude to intrude other people's privacy." Katara said.

"I'm….I'm sorry….i…it won't happen again." Sokka stuttered as he tripped once and got back up and rushed out the door.

Katara noticed that her bag was open, she gasped as she silently wished he didn't take it.

He did, he took their mother's necklace, now he'll show everyone, including Zuko, about who she is.

She shook her head and bolted out the door. Running, she collided with a soldier, she muttered her apology and ran down the hall once more, this time, colliding with Aang.

"Oh sorry, I didn't see you were there." Aang stuttered out. Katara didn't even bother saying anything to him, she ran down the hall and saw Sokka running.

"Hey! You! Get back here with that!"

Sokka turned around and faced her. He held up the pendant so that it caught the sun's rays. "Where'd you get this?" He asked.

Katara stuttered, "I….I….got it from the South Pole, it was in the snow, actually I got it from my travels….yeah…yeah….from my travels, it was on the ground and…." She trailed off as she Zuko coming. She quickly snatched the necklace and bolted away. Sokka shouted something, and soon, she saw him running towards her, along with Zuko.

"Get back here with that! It's my sister's!" Sokka shouted as he went down another hall to cut her off.

Katara looked behind her and sighed, no one was behind her. She ducked into a corner and panted, looking at the necklace. Suddenly, the door behind her opened, she fell backwards, but a pair of strong arms caught her.

She screamed, but a hand muffled her.

"Shh, I won't hurt you." Her eyes widened at the voice of the man, it was Zuko.

He released her and sat her down on the bed. "Tell me where you got that necklace."

She was silent and muttered out, "You heard me back there, I got from my travels."

Katara heard him chuckle, "If you going to lie, at least do it right."

"But it's the truth!" She revolted.

"I could tell that it isn't, the truth's written all over your face."

"Let out of here, if the South Pole hears on how you assaulted me, interrogated me, and accused me, then forget about the treaty! Let ME OUT!" She went to the door and kicked it.

He grabbed her by the wrists and pinned her to the door. He let go one of her wrists to pull out something from his pockets. "Remember this?" He whispered, sending shivers down her spine.

Her eyes widened at the sight of the necklace, the one that Zuko made for her.

"It seems you do."

Katara quickly lied, "No, I don't! Now unhand me!" She struggled again.

"I also believe that "Kita" isn't your real name." Zuko said, Katara panted, as to the fact she struggled so much.

"Isn't it?" He said, almost seductively.

"No it is! Now let me go!" She screamed as she struggled to kick him.

"I know that you are Katara."

She stopped and breathed ragged. "No…no…..my name isn't Katara, it's Kita." Katara said, whimpering, seeing as how Zuko was pressing her harder against the door.

"No, it isn't, now tell me." Zuko said in a low voice, whispering it close to her ear.

"It is, my name is Kita." Katara yelled as she felt his hand getting hotter.

"Tell me." He said, almost threatingly.

"You have no right." Katara whispered, trying to hold back the pain. His body was now perfectly aligned with her body, making her squished between the door and him.

"I believe that I do have a right." Zuko said, pressing closer, Katara yelped as the heat was growing more intense. "I have a right to everything…" He whispered seductively into her ear.

Katara panted, sweat forming on her forehead. "Let me….go….please….I'm not the…one you want…."

"Yes you are! Dammit! I know you are! Do you know I had to go through heartbreaking pain just to find Katara? Now, that I'm this close, I'm not going to give up!"

The grip on Katara's wrist cooled down and loosened as Zuko bent down, crying. She just stood there watching him as his shoulders shook.

"I hope you find her."

Katara said, she was also on the verge of tears. As she turned to leave, Zuko stood up suddenly, and turned her around, kissing her straight on the lips. Katara squealed as he pulled her closer. She pushed him away and yelled, "Why'd you do that? I told you I'm not the one you want!" Katara cried as she yelled the whole sentence out to him.

Tears rolling down her cheeks and his, breaths ragged as the two stared at each other. Katara broke her gaze and wiped her eyes. "I'm….I'm sorry, I hope you can find her, I'll be in my room." Katara whispered as she opened the door and closed it quietly. She rushed to the room and plopped down on the bed.

I can't tell him, not yet……I can never forgive on what he did to me that night.

A/N So there it is! Chapter 20! Zuko and Katara may have been a bit OOC, but it doesn't work without them being OOC! YA HEARD! Ahem….sorry got a bit out of control XD

So anyways, if some of you are wondering how Katara's outfit looks like, it kinda looks like Sakura's outfit in "Naruto" , but instead of red, the dress is a dark blue, with the shorts, being black, and the white line things on Sakura's dress, it's instead a shade of light blue on Katara's outfit.

If you don't like it, then I'll change it, I figured it shouldn't be too flashy, but yet, not to…..calm…in a way. You get the point right?

R&R!
