I had finally achieved sleep, only to be rudely awoken by the boy with the scar, who shook me with great force.

I opened my eyes, and glared at him angrily.

"You need to stay awake." He said pulling up a chair from the corner of the room and setting it near my head. I pulled myself up onto my elbows and screamed out in pain. I barred my face into my pillow trying hard not to cry. Images of the man with large side burns flashed though my mind.

"What?" the Prince asked, his eyes wide. "What is it?"

At first I didn't answer, knowing all too well that I might start crying.

Prince Zuko got off of his chair and made his way toward me. "What's wrong?" he asked again.

I reached out for his arm and he helped me sit up. I gasped as more pain shot through my body. Zuko looked at me, his eyes full of worry, I knew he wasn't there to hurt me, I urged myself to trust him.

"Its my shoulders." I said. When the man had thrown me across the room, he was more then likely to have caused damage. Yeah, more then likely.

Prince Zuko stood up and walked around me to the head of the mattress, I turned my head and watched as he sat on the pillow.

Sure, I still didn't fully trust him, that's why I was watching his every move. But when his hands found their way to my shoulders and moved up and down, his fingers massaging my sore muscles and rubbing my aching back, all reasonable distrust was thrown from the room.

I let out a long, low sigh as I relaxed under the boys grasp and I think my eyes might have just rolled back into my head at that moment, if I remember correctly.

Prince Zuko chuckled slightly. He had one of those laughs that never leaves the lips, because it kind of comes out the nose.

"…"

There was a silence in the room. The only sound that came from the room was just him and I, breathing. I noticed that mine was a bit slower then his, even though I didn't feel like it was heavy. Maybe he was just breathing really fast. Somehow, I doubted that. Maybe the blood loss had something to do with it. Sort of wished I'd paid more attention in science class now. Sure, I was the only student in the seventh grade that got to go into the pig brain, but medicine really just wasn't my calling. (I know, we got to dissect pigs, the high point of going to a privet school on full scholarship!)
"Thank you." I whispered as I felt Zuko's hands growing tiered.

"Hmm…" he answered and stopped.

A few more moments of silence before Zuko sighed heavily and said something.

"I need to know what Zhao did to you tonight."

I turned around to face him, crossing my lags lotus style. "The man with the side burns?" I asked gesturing to the side of my face.

Prince Zuko nodded. "He didn't… uh… y-you know?"

"Take me?" I looked down at my knee and played with the fabric. "Yeah." I said. "He did."

Zuko growled deep into his throat and bit his lip angrily.

"I'm sorry." He said his eyes full of sadness.

"Its not your fault." I said. "It's not like you told him to do that. Did you?"

Zuko smiled sadly at me and I returned it.

We looked over to the window almost simultaneously. To see the sun rising, it was different then on earth. It had this eerie closeness. This planet was probably placed closer to the sun; Iroh did say that people lived on the North and South Pole. I shivered and yawned all at the same time. Sending goose bumps all up and down my bare arms.

"Cold?" Zuko asked.

I nodded and undid the golden clip which held his long cloak/jacket thing together, leaving him in a grey turtleneck. He bent close to me and put it around my shoulders.

"Thanks." I said and snuggled into it. It had a nice musty smell to it. Not like the normal male perspiration smell, you usually get an unwanted wiff of in gym class. No, it was nice. Like: yeah, he sweats like a normal human being, but it wasn't like he was proud of it or anything. But it also smelt of gun powder and it was the same thing, it was a good smell, and wait, I'm not done. Wood, newly chopped, and burned, like in the winter when the only thing to heat your apartment is the fire place and the only wood you can find is the tree out side your building. You people probably have no idea what I'm mumbling on about, the point is he had a good, you know, guy smell, and not that crappy Abercrombie cologne the guys in your world are wearing. (Rolls eyes yuuu-uuuckk!)

A knock came at the door and the healer stepped in carrying a tray of sliced fruits and brown liquid that looked like tea. My checks started to twinge with joy.

TEEEEEEEAAAAAA!

Caffeine! gasp must gasp have gasp caffeine! gasp must not gasp lose mind gasp

The healer set the tray on the chair Zuko had been sitting on and smiled to me.
"Good morning Xola." He said, "I brought you some breakfast." He motioned to the tray before turning his attention to the Prince.

"Prince Zuko, may I speak to you in privet?" he asked.

Zuko nodded and got up off the mattress. Before leaving me to poke at my breakfast with my hashi-sticks Zuko turned and smiled sadly at me.

Love and Peace!

I know what you're thinking, why is Zuko being so nice? Well you'll just have to wait until Ji gets there. (oops did I say Ji, your not suppose to know that!)

…Zuko frowned and looked through the rest of what I had gotten. I saw his eyes widen in shock.

"What?" I asked.

Slowly, Zuko pulled out a red gown tinted red. Realizing what it was, my own eyes widened.

"Oh god!" I said. "Stupid woman, I told her I didn't want it." I felt a blush rising to my face faster then the speed of light.

"Sure you did." Said Zuko with a sly smile, putting it back into my back. "And, um, who were you planning on using it with?"

"No one!" I said forcefully taking back my bag.

"Right," he said. "You know I talked to Hung this morning."

Crap.

" He talked to me and your father. Uncle was asleep at the time." Zuko continued. "Why didn't you tell us?" he asked.

I growled in frustration and stomped off to my room some happy birthday this was turning out to be…
