A/N

Me: You know what? I think…..

Zuko: Who cares of what you think? Everyone loves me!

Me: (shoves him into a wall) Stop being an ego doodoo head! You're fired!

Mostly, people who do have those OC stories, are usually fangirls that adore Zuko, Sokka, or Haru, or Jet, or Ozai (shudders), so they make up OC's to play the part as them, and then from there on, they can transform their OC to the girl/boy that the character would fall in love with, AKA themselves.

Seriously, no one exactly enjoys reading them, unless the characters aren't Mary Sues, or they are superficial airheads that are like mix benders or something.

THERE ARE NO MIX BENDERS! NOR ANOTHER AVATAR! SO YOU CAN'T MAKE YOUR OC THAT! COMPRENDE'?

Disclaimer: Whew! Finally got that out of my system, now on with the story!

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

"Zuko…" She mumbled his name, letting out short breaths.

"Katara….you don't have to think about it now…mmmm…later…." He mumbled back, kissing her bare shoulders and neck.

Katara rested her head against his chest, as he slid off more of her shirt.

She let out short breaths and light moans as his warm breath hit her neck. He kissed her gently, Katara, biting down on his bottom lip. A quack from the pond brought Katara back to her senses.

"Wait, Zuko, I'm sorry…..this is wrong…." She quickly pulled up her shirt again and buttoned it up.

"Why?" He stood up with her.

"I…just…..this wrong, what would my grandmother say? What would the whole world say? I just…..can't be with you…." Katara ran away, but not fast enough to escape his grasp.

He grabbed her hand.

"Katara," he said sternly, "stop trying to run away from your fears, what's so…..bad….about facing your future?"

"That's the problem Zuko, my future, it was never ……meant…… to be with…you."

He loosened his grip and whispered, "What?"

"I…..I'm sorry Zuko…..it's just that……the water nations still hold a grudge with the fire nation, even with you as the Fire Lord, both of our nations won't except us."

Katara said, letting silent tears fall to the green grass below.

The once blue, bright sky, now darkened with pitch, black clouds.

Thunder could be heard, rumbling, over their heads.

"Katara…..please…."

Katara bit her lips and let the tears keep on falling, like the hard rain, beating down on them now.

She tore away and ran into the palace.

Sobs rang through the halls as she ran towards her room.

"Katara what's the matter?" Sokka asked.

Katara just ignored him and kept on running. Iroh came out of his room and asked, "Miss Katara?"

She ignored him as well and tears were mixed with the rain puddles on the floor.

Iroh hurried over to the gardens with Sokka and saw Zuko, his head down, looking at the ground, rain drops slowly slid down his bangs as he created water from his eyes.

His hands weren't in fists, but in a lifeless form, just dangling from his body, as he stood there, like an outcast.

"Zuko…." Iroh ran over to him in the rain.

"Leave me alone Uncle…." He muttered, raspily.

"But, Zuko, you'll catch a cold, or worse….hypothermia."

"Didn't you here….me….the first…time…uncle?" Zuko whispered, his voice to the point were it was cracking very badly.

"Zuko…."

"No one cares uncle, why…… should….you?" Zuko, walked away, slowly, towards the training area, his head, kept down.

Iroh looked sadly at the rain soaked ground and sadly, "Zuko…."

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

Sokka narrowed his eyes and ran back to his sister's chamber.

"Katara!" He knocked on the door.

"Go away!"

"It's me Sokka, open up please?"

"I said….go away…"

Sokka sighed and opened the door.

"Katara, what happened between you guys?"

"I don't….want to….talk about it…" Katara whispered into her pillow.

"Did he hurt you Katara?"

"No…..even….worse…" She whispered the last word into her pillow.

"What? Tell me!" Sokka pulled his sister up and looked straight into her eyes.

"I…..I hurt him….Sokka…" Katara sobbed, wiping away tears from her eyes.

"Why? I thought you guys were happy together!"

"Sokka, what would both the fire nations and the water nations say? There was a reason that night in Ba Sing Se that I ran away, the world doesn't want us together." Katara cracked out.

"Katara, there's a reason how you…..got to him……you love him and he loves you…..can't you see that?"

"No…I can't….." Katara whispered.

"Do you really want to know what he's been doing ever since he joined us?" Sokka asked Katara.

"No…." Katara said, slowly looking up at her brother.

"He's been non-stop trying to get you out of his mind, every night, he'd sneak away from us and……watch the river or lake nearby, always muttering your name, sometimes even breaking down…..he'd make himself a wreak trying to find you!" Sokka yelled.

"Sokka…."

"To say it sis…..you've changed…..where's the loveable, cheerful sister that I've always known? Where is she? Where's the sister that I've always loved and cared for?" Sokka cried.

"She's gone Sokka…..she's Katara cracked, giving way to a fresh batch of tears.

"You aren't the sister that I've known my entire life….you always create distance between the people that love you."

"No one likes me…..everyone just uses me for their own selfish reasons……"

"How about me Katara? Gran-gran? Aang? Toph? Zuko?" All those people! They all love you!"

Katara pointed to the door and muttered, "Please, Sokka, leave…."

"If you see the sister that I love…..can you please bring her back?"

"I'm not sure if she wants to come back…" Katara wiped away and lone tear and watched Sokka leave the room.

She wiped her tears and went out to the balcony. Looking below her, she painfully saw Zuko fire bending in the rain.

He angrily shot out flames from his fists and feet as he landed the combos in perfection.

She watched as he performed a spin kick and fell down, sliding a bit on his side. Heart breaking-ly, she watched his shoulders tremble as he cried into the ground, the rain soaking his clothes and making his hair stick to his forehead and scar.

What happened to the sister that I know and love!

What happened to her!

-----------

If you see the sister that I love….can you please bring her back?

Katara panted as she cried on the balcony, her head on the railings, rain hitting her on the head.

What happened to me? What?

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

Zuko walked silently towards the training area and angrily punched the air, releasing flames that were quickly extinguished by the rain.

He landed combos perfectly, but the last one, he just simply lost it and fell down, painfully landing on his sides.

Even though, the pain shot through his sides, he knew this was nothing compared to the big scar, that was his heart.

A/N You thought it was all down hill from there huh? Their wedding and then my fanfic would be over, poof!

But no, another twist! Yes, I know, very sad, but that's what Zuzu gets for tranquilizing me! MUWHAAAAAAAHAHAHAHHA-

Zuko: Gotcha' again! Don't worry fanfic fanatics! More, fluff, drama, angst, action, and adventure still to come!

R&R!
