Ok, i lied. i didnt really write two chapters to make you happier. It ended up being two chapters after i wrote it because if i made it one long chapter (as it was) it was like 1600 words and i didnt want you all to have to read it all and get bored. So here's some more Blood Sister part.

There's a little "Ashayna/Zuko" shipping to the naked eye, but its really not. It seems as if they love each other, but i'll explain it all in the end. So hold on tight

The forest hadn't been as thick last time Ashayna remembered – when her and Sam were play sparring each other before they met the Avatar. The young girl sighed; back when things between her and Sam were easy and her rejection hadn't caused him to run away.

But she was going to make things right, or at least she hoped so.

An OwlMouse from the nearest tree hooted loudly, causing Shay to jump. She would never admit it to anyone, but she was deathly afraid of the dark and being alone. To help quell her fears, the fire bender produced a flame that danced on her bare palm. Now she could see, but she was still alone.

Or so she thought.

Zuko was lost. He thought he knew where he was going. But apparently he had been lost by his emotions and had no idea which way was forward of back. The boy stomped her feet in frustration and gritted his teeth. He had found the Avatar's hiding place! It was as easy as that – find the place, grab the boy while he was sleeping, get back out – but of course, he was a screw up and found himself helplessly lost.

"Fuck this!" the boy growled, letting his frustration out with a sheet of fire. It lit up the forest for a moment.

The girl 30 feet away opened her eyes wide in amazement, but soon disappeared again after the light of the fire faded.

Shay couldn't believe what she saw in those couple seconds of fire. Zuko. She didn't know where he came from, but he seemed frustrated and she could feel his tension in the air. Overwhelmed in worry and happiness to find her friend, she stumbled towards the place where she had last seen him.

"Zuko! Zuko!" she called out, making her flame brighter so she could see.

"Zuko, it's me!" Shay called desperately, stumbling and losing the fire in her hands. The dark world engulfed her again; she could hardly make out the outline of trees a couple feet from her.

Behind her someone grabbed her shoulder and spun her around. In front of Shay was a dark, quiet, and glaring Zuko, looking down at Ashayna with a mix of anger and relief.

"Zuko! What are you doing here! I had no idea you followed the directions yet, or else I would have prepared a greeting for you," Shay gabbed happily. The boy continued to stand in silence, trying to understand how Ashayna could be so happy to see him when she seemed happy enough kissing the boy a night ago.

"What's wrong? Zuko?" the girl took a step closer, reaching up to run her hand through his hair. The boy took another step back. Shay's hand still hung there; uncertain.

"Come on Ashayna, I'm taking you home. That is still what you want is it not?" he said, breaking the silence.

"What are you talking about? I want to stay here and teach the Avatar. Didn't you read my letter?" she asked, a tid bit frustrated and confused.

"Your letter said that you didn't want to teach the Avatar and that you wanted me to come get you," Zuko said, getting suspicious and pulling the letter out from his pocket. Ashayna took it from him without opening it.

"No, I definitely said that I needed to go join the Avatar and that you could follow me if you felt like joining us. Isn't that what you are here for? To join me and the Avatar?"

The fire prince looked dumb struck. "Me? Work with the Avatar? They hate me. Remember I told you how I betrayed them and my uncle. At worst they would kill me. At best, they wouldn't want anything to deal with me…"

Ashayna raised an eyebrow. "But you still want to join them don't you? You don't hate them anymore, do you?"

Zuko remained silent. Sighing, Ashayna opened the letter that was supposedly written by her. Reading the plagiarized and copied letter, her mouth tightened to a scowl. "Zuko. Someone tampered with the letter. These aren't my words nor is it my true handwriting…"

"Who would have…" Zuko started.

"Azula" Ashayna whispered.

Zuko's head reeled as he cursed himself for being so stupid. He had been so set on capturing the Avatar and bringing Ashayna home that he hadn't even considered that Ashayna asking him to capture the Avatar seemed a bit out of character for her.

"So are you going to come back to camp with me?" she asked, putting Sam aside for the moment.

He shook his head, "No. You seem happy enough without me," Zuko muttered.

"What are you talking about?" she asked incredulously

Zuko was silent for a couple minutes, but Ashayna stood resolute, waiting for an answer before anything. Ashayna had always been good at making Zuko talk. "I mean, that I saw you and that boy kiss the other night. I was coming to find you, but I found that instead," he whispered, not looking at her; he was still confused on why it affected him so.

Next thing he knew, Zuko found himself being hugged by Ashayna. The girl was drastically shorter than him, but he found her arms around his waist comforting nonetheless. He put his chin a top his head and closed his eyes. He had not been expecting this. And as much as it was awkward for the prince, it was a much better situation than him thinking that Ashayna loved someone else.

"Zuko, I'm sorry you saw that. I don't love him. He does me though. That kiss was a mistake," Ashayna kissed him on the cheek. "I'm sorry. But you should know by now that you are the only boy I care for." The small girl stepped back, letting him go.

The prince blushed; very uncharacteristically so. He looked down at his thumb finger, knowing exactly what Ashayna had meant by that – and it didn't necessarily deal with love, although sometimes Zuko wished…

"So come on, my brother. Lets go back to camp and I'll introduce you."

Zuko put on a stone face. "I told you Ashayna, I'm not going there." His voice sounded unsteady.

"Yes you are. You are going to fix this and help me teach the Avatar," she said, her hands on her hips, looking quite like a mother.

"Ashayna. You cannot make me," his scowl furthered.

"Yes. I can and I will."

"I'm strong than you, I'll get away."

"I'm smarter than you. I wont let you"

"ASHAYNA!" he cried desperately.

"Zuko…" she said, her voice even, eyebrow raised.

With a frustrated cry, he let out a fireball, but submitted to the girl. She smiled kindly.

"Don't worry about it. I'll make sure you're ok."

"I have a feeling that this isn't going to work Ashayna."

"It will. Just watch, I'll make everything right again."

With that, the two disappeared into the forest and back towards camp. No longer alone and without light.
