It was really weird SwEeT hOmE WaTeR tRiBe. So I made a nice fanfic about their sibling relationship.

He must still be asleep. Katara had told him several times that he needs to get up earlier. She sighed and started towards Sokka's bedroom. When she arrived the door was slightly ajar. Katara pushed open the door to see Sokka dead asleep, the blankets were haphazardly warped around him. Katara stood in the doorway and said. /p

Sokka and Katara would bicker often as all siblings do. But this was a real fight. She kept thinking about what Sokka said "You're not my mom." Katara never realized she was motherly. She had overheard the conversation he had with Toph. But, she has to act motherly Sokka just wouldn't listen to anything she said. Then her father walked over and put a hand on her shoulder./p

She was thinking about what she would say to Sokka when he came back. Katara heard footsteps walking toward the courtyard and assumed Zuko and Sokka were coming. Her heart sank when she heard Zuko yell. /p
p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 24px; font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;" data-p-id="97a0bd67bcccab3d0880cd43bf262653""Katara!" Zuko came in supporting Sokka on his shoulder. Suki gasped and covered her mouth. Katara stood up and ran to Zuko and her brother. She cupped Sokka's face in her hands. Sokka had burns on his face, arms, and stomach. She was speechless as she laid Sokka on the ground a cradled his head in her lap. /p

Zuko got up and quickly went to get water. Suki moved to sit across from Sokka silent tears falling down her face. The rest of the group ran to the courtyard to see what was happening. Hokoda knelt next to Katara and ran his fingers through his unconscious son's hair. Zuko then came back with the water and placed it next to Katara. She went to heal her brother but her hands shaking. Katara looked down at her brother. His happy carefree face now pale and unresponsive. She placed a hand on her brother's chest and felt a beating heart this gave her strength. It was her responsibility to save her brother. /p

He had never thought about it but joining the group was like joining a family. Although they seemed hesitant at first, they were surprisingly welcoming, except for Katara. She held a grudge and Zuko didn't know why. Zuko wanted to do anything he could to help Katara trust him. And helping Sokka was a good start. And after Boiling rock he saw Sokka more like a little brother. In a way, it was like he was redeeming himself from lost time with his Azula. They continued the rest of the trip in silence. After some time Sokka said "alright we're here." the two of them hopped off Appa and made their way through the woods. There was a rustling sound from behind a tree. Zuko and Sokka froze Sokka walked up slowly to the tree, then quickly swung. /p
p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 24px; font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;" data-p-id="74ff8b132c8bb3f626afdb917a71dd54""There's nothing here," Sokka said looking at Zuko./p

Zuko was about to follow him and take a look when a blast of fire flew past his ear. Zuko whipped around to see Azula. /p

Then she threw another blast of her blue fire at him. Zuko ducked to dodge it. He got ready to fight back when she threw another blast at him. Then Sokka took out his boomerang and threw it, it hit Azula in the side of the head and she stumbled backward. She then threw a blast right at Sokka. It hit him in the chest and he fell to the ground. /p
p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 24px; font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;" data-p-id="e03b22dcbfb21e5332b3c57f39930ba3""Sokka!" Zuko yelled and shot a flame at Azula she dodged it. Azula then shot lighting at Zuko he redirected it at Azula who then took another shot at Sokka. He stepped in front of him and stopped the blast. Zuko pulled Sokka up by the armpits and put one arm over his shoulder and started to run towards Appa. Azula shot lightning back at Zuko and he deflected it just in time. /p

Appa took off as Azula blasted more fire at the boys. Zuko looked at Sokka, he groaned and Zuko's stomach turned. /p

Sokka closed his eyes for the rest of the trip to the air temple. /p

She then bent the water in the bucket Zuko brought her. She carefully placed her hands on Sokka's stomach and moved her hands up and down on his chest. The burn started to fade but did not go away completely. She then moved to his arm. Katara carefully undid Zuko's shirt that was wrapped around his arm. Her eyes widened. His arm was very badly burned. Katara touched it and Sokka groaned. Her hand recoiled from her brother. Hokoda took his hand off his son's head and placed it on his daughter's shoulder. he gave her a look not speaking but Katara still understood, this was Katara's job to save her brother. When her mother died and her father left Sokka was expected to take care of Katara but sometimes he needs her and this is the time. Katara bent the water once more and placed it on Sokka's arm, the blue glow of the water illuminated her face. A small yell escaped Sokka's mouth and Hokoda returned to running his fingers through Sokka's hair. Katara ran her hands in small rhythmic circles on the water tribe boy's arm as he winced in pain but still didn't wake up. It felt tight and the skin was burning under Katara's tanned hands. She would have to work on his arm later. She then moved to his face. There was a burn not as harsh as the others that started from his cheek and moved down to his neck. His face felt warm as Katara healed it. This time the burn completely vanished after Katara healed it. She then returned to his arm and began to heal it again, the burn died down slightly but it would take more time. She looked into her brother's face it was pale. Katara looked up at her father, his face was strained and worried as he looked down at his son. /p

Suki got up and went to get them. Then Toph caught her eye. She was staring off in no particular direction like she always does but she had an expression Katara had never seen before, she looked worried. everyone in the group had become a family. It must be hard for her to not see Sokka but know something wrong. Katara reached out for Toph's hand and placed it on Sokka's heart, and let her feel the slow beating of his heart. She smiled slightly at her. Suki came back with bandages and returned to her spot across from Katara. She took the bandages from her. She gingerly wrapped the bandages around Sokka's arm and he winced again. Suki took Sokka's good hand in hers. Katara then lifted him slightly to wrap the bandages around his chest. Sokka stirred and everyone looked at him even Toph. His eyes opened revealing the piercing blue. Katara smiled down at him. /p

Katara reached for her pouch and poured a cup of water for Sokka. She propped him up on her shoulder and handed him the cup. His face against hers was warm. She placed his palm against Sokka's forehead and he was running a fever. She laid him back down on his lap. She bent the water and placed it on his forehead. /p

Katara pushed open the door to see Sokka dead asleep, the blankets were haphazardly warped around him. Katara stood in the doorway and said. /p

Sokka and Katara would bicker often as all siblings do. But this was a real fight. She kept thinking about what Sokka said "You're not my mom." Katara never realized she was motherly. She had overheard the conversation he had with Toph. But, she has to act motherly Sokka just wouldn't listen to anything she said. Then her father walked over and put a hand on her shoulder./p

She was thinking about what she would say to Sokka when he came back. Katara heard footsteps walking toward the courtyard and assumed Zuko and Sokka were coming. Her heart sank when she heard Zuko yell. /p

Zuko came in supporting Sokka on his shoulder. Suki gasped and covered her mouth. Katara stood up and ran to Zuko and her brother. She cupped Sokka's face in her hands. Sokka had burns on his face, arms, and stomach. She was speechless as she laid Sokka on the ground a cradled his head in her lap. /p

Zuko got up and quickly went to get water. Suki moved to sit across from Sokka silent tears falling down her face. The rest of the group ran to the courtyard to see what was happening. Hokoda knelt next to Katara and ran his fingers through his unconscious son's hair. Zuko then came back with the water and placed it next to Katara. She went to heal her brother but her hands shaking. Katara looked down at her brother. His happy carefree face now pale and unresponsive. She placed a hand on her brother's chest and felt a beating heart this gave her strength. It was her responsibility to save her brother. /p

He had never thought about it but joining the group was like joining a family. Although they seemed hesitant at first, they were surprisingly welcoming, except for Katara. She held a grudge and Zuko didn't know why. Zuko wanted to do anything he could to help Katara trust him. And helping Sokka was a good start. And after Boiling rock he saw Sokka more like a little brother. In a way, it was like he was redeeming himself from lost time with his Azula. They continued the rest of the trip in silence. After some time Sokka said "alright we're here." the two of them hopped off Appa and made their way through the woods. There was a rustling sound from behind a tree. Zuko and Sokka froze Sokka walked up slowly to the tree, then quickly swung. /p

Then she threw another blast of her blue fire at him. Zuko ducked to dodge it. He got ready to fight back when she threw another blast at him. Then Sokka took out his boomerang and threw it, it hit Azula in the side of the head and she stumbled backward. She then threw a blast right at Sokka. It hit him in the chest and he fell to the ground. /p

Zuko yelled and shot a flame at Azula she dodged it. Azula then shot lighting at Zuko he redirected it at Azula who then took another shot at Sokka. He stepped in front of him and stopped the blast. Zuko pulled Sokka up by the armpits and put one arm over his shoulder and started to run towards Appa. Azula shot lightning back at Zuko and he deflected it just in time. /p

Sokka closed his eyes for the rest of the trip to the air temple. /p

She then bent the water in the bucket Zuko brought her. She carefully placed her hands on Sokka's stomach and moved her hands up and down on his chest. The burn started to fade but did not go away completely. She then moved to his arm. Katara carefully undid Zuko's shirt that was wrapped around his arm. Her eyes widened. His arm was very badly burned. Katara touched it and Sokka groaned. Her hand recoiled from her brother. Hokoda took his hand off his son's head and placed it on his daughter's shoulder. he gave her a look not speaking but Katara still understood, this was Katara's job to save her brother. When her mother died and her father left Sokka was expected to take care of Katara but sometimes he needs her and this is the time. Katara bent the water once more and placed it on Sokka's arm, the blue glow of the water illuminated her face. A small yell escaped Sokka's mouth and Hokoda returned to running his fingers through Sokka's hair. Katara ran her hands in small rhythmic circles on the water tribe boy's arm as he winced in pain but still didn't wake up. It felt tight and the skin was burning under Katara's tanned hands. She would have to work on his arm later. She then moved to his face. There was a burn not as harsh as the others that started from his cheek and moved down to his neck. His face felt warm as Katara healed it. This time the burn completely vanished after Katara healed it. She then returned to his arm and began to heal it again, the burn died down slightly but it would take more time. She looked into her brother's face it was pale. Katara looked up at her father, his face was strained and worried as he looked down at his son. /p

Suki got up and went to get them. Then Toph caught her eye. She was staring off in no particular direction like she always does but she had an expression Katara had never seen before, she looked worried. everyone in the group had become a family. It must be hard for her to not see Sokka but know something wrong. Katara reached out for Toph's hand and placed it on Sokka's heart, and let her feel the slow beating of his heart. She smiled slightly at her. Suki came back with bandages and returned to her spot across from Katara. She took the bandages from her. She gingerly wrapped the bandages around Sokka's arm and he winced again. Suki took Sokka's good hand in hers. Katara then lifted him slightly to wrap the bandages around his chest. Sokka stirred and everyone looked at him even Toph. His eyes opened revealing the piercing blue. Katara smiled down at him. /p

Katara reached for her pouch and poured a cup of water for Sokka. She propped him up on her shoulder and handed him the cup. His face against hers was warm. She placed his palm against Sokka's forehead and he was running a fever. She laid him back down on his lap. She bent the water and placed it on his forehead. /p
