The Love Between Water and Fire
Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews! Well, many of you are wondering how Katara got pregnant. Read on into the story to find out.
Chapter 8-Good-Bye
Zuko told the captain to land the ship by the Di Tan City gates. The Fire Nation soldiers stood behind Zuko in straight rows ready to make an attack.
"I smell the stench of the Fire Nation. Soldiers! Get your bows and swords ready." said chief Jiang shi.
"Get ready troops."said Zuko.
Zuko went off of the ship, followed by his soldiers.
They all stopped on shore in a fighting position.
Jiang shi walked out of the gate.
"Prince Zuko, long time no see." said Jiang shi.
"We can do this the hard way, or we can do this the easy way." said Zuko.
"I'll let you off with the easy way." said Jiang Shi.
"Are you afraid to fight?" asked Zuko.
"You may be Ozai's son, but I know better than to mess with him." said Jiang Shi. "When your father started this whole war, I was worried about you the most. Seeing as he kicked you out of your own nation, embarassed you infront of your family, friends and the entire court. I was there when he gave you that scar. I may be furious with your father Zuko, but I could never be furious with you."
Zuko stood straight. "Thank you Chief Jiang Shi."
"What is it that you need?" asked Jiang shi.
"My friend is ill, and she's a couple of weeks pregnant. Her Avatar friend is in your city and she needs to be reunited with them at once." said Zuko.
"You may enter."said Jiang Shi.
Zuko walked into the city gates and into Di Tan City.
The people of Di Tan stopped and ran into their houses.
Aang and Sokka looked at everyone running, their path was clear and they could see why.
"What is Prince Zuko doing here?" asked Sokka. "And how did he get past the gates?"
Zuko walked towards Aang.
"Your friend is sick. Follow me to my ship." said Zuko.
"Wait a second. You're not going to take us hostage again are you?" asked Sokka.
"what makes you think I'll do that?" asked Zuko.
"Aang, I don't think-"
"Sokka, do you want Katara back or not?" asked Aang.
"Well, yeah ofcourse, but-"
"Zuko has her in his ship, lets just take her and we'll be on our way." said Aang.
Zuko, Aang and Sokka reached the Fire Nation ship.
"Stay out on deck. I'm going to check on your friend." said Zuko.
"Why can't we go with you?" asked Sokka.
Zuko just kept on walking.
'It's all my fault. I should have never slept with her that night.'thought Zuko.
Flashbacks of Katara screaming in pleasure and pain haunted Zuko's thoughts. He still had the scratch marks on his back from that night.
Zuko entered his room, and found Katara asleep. He walked toward her, kneeled down and held her hand tightly.
Katara slowly opened her eyes.
"Zuko. I don't want to leave." said Katara.
"You have to Katara. You can't stay here." said Zuko.
"What about our child?" asked Katara.
"Take good care of it. Katara, I love you. I love our child, but Zhao is coming aboard this ship 4 days from now, if he finds out i'm keeping you here,he'll report it to my father. So far, he still thinks you're with the Avatar. My uncle told him you left right after the storm."
Katara took her hand away from his hand.
"Katara, please don't be mad with me. I want what's best for you." said Zuko.
"I'm scared that we won't ever see eachother again." said Katara.
"We will, I promise." said Zuko.
Zuko kissed Katara on the lips.
"This isn't good-bye Katara." said Zuko.
Katara got out of bed and walked out the door.
"Your Avatar friend is out on the deck." said Zuko.
Katara saw Aang and Sokka standing there.
"Katara!" yelled Aang as he ran to hug Katara. "You're okay!"
Katara smiled and hugged him back. "I'm glad to see you Aang."
Katara looked back at Zuko and smiled. Zuko just gave her a grin, but Katara didn't care at all if it was grin or a smirk, she just wanted to see him one more time before they left.
Zuko watched as they left on Appa, and that was the last time he ever saw her.
