On the water tribe ship Katara was in a holding cell. She spent her time thinking as she paced from one side of the room to the other. She walks to the cell door.
"Let me out of here, or you'll regret it!" Katara yelled to Yukio, who leaned beside the cell door.
"I don't think so." Yukio said and she grew angrier.
"I will kill you when I get out of here!" She screamed as she banged on the door. Sokka walked onto the deck and heard his sister's screams.
"Quit your banging!" Yukio yelled and Sokka walked off the deck trying to ignore the horrible situation.
"Let me out of here, so I can fight you!" Katara threatened.
"I'm so scared." Yukio said sarcastically. Katara didn't care for his sarcasm.
"You should be scared!" She yelled and grew angrier.
"Yeah right." Yukio said. Katara's fists clenched and she narrowed her eyes.
"You deserve to die!" She said. Yukio ignored her and continued and crossed his arms. "If I don't kill you, the Fire Lord will!" Katara threatened him.
"Yeah right, he doesn't care about you." Yukio told her.
"He does care about me!" Katara yelled.
"Then why hasn't he come for you yet?" Yukio asked her. Katara grew angrier; she let a scream of anger.
"Let me out, unless you are not man enough to fight me!" She yelled. Yukio ignored her, Katara took a few deep breathes and looked around the room. She then noticed an open window; she walked to the window and saw the ocean water waves role beside the ship. Katara bended some water in through the window, she created a slice of water. Yukio heard some commotion in the cell.
"What are you doing?" Yukio said and put his ear to the cell door. Just then Katara cut open the door and jumped out. She bended the water into a whip and hit Yukio, he stumbled back.
She then created an ice dagger and aimed it at Yukio. The ice dagger shot at him, and hit Yukio just below the ribs.
"You little bitch!" Yukio screamed at her as he held his side. Yukio stood up.
Katara froze his feet to the deck floor. Yukio struggled to free himself.
"You'll stay frozen if you know what is good for you!" She yelled at him. Just then Sokka ran onto the deck, he noticed a fire nation ship headed towards them.
"Who is that?" Sokka said and pointed to the ship. Katara turned to look and Yukio quickly unfroze the ice, he ran after her. She quickly tried to make a water wave but Yukio hit her with water and she fell to the ground. Yukio watched the fire nation ship as it came beside their ship. Katara stood up and froze Yukio's feet to the ship. Just then Zuko jumped onto the water tribe ship.
"Katara!" Zuko called to her, and she turned and saw Zuko running towards her.
"Zuko!" She said and stopped concentrating, the ice around Yukio's feet unfroze and she hit him with a wave of water that knocked him to the ground.
Zuko ran to Katara and wrapped his arms around her, he held her tight and tears began to run down her face. Zuko stops hugging her and puts his hand on her cheek.
"Are you alright?" He asked her. She wiped the tears away.
"I am fine, these are tears of happiness." Katara said. Zuko gave her a reassuring smile and hugged her again. Her tears poured down her face and Zuko held her tighter.
Yukio stood up and noticed their hug. He created an ice dagger and aimed it at Zuko's back. Katara's eyes snapped open just as he shot the dagger at Zuko. She pushed Zuko out of the way, and the dagger hit her shoulder. She gasped in pain as she fell to the ground. Zuko watched her fall. Zuko turned and looked at Yukio with fury in his eyes. He created a fire blast and shot it at Yukio.
Katara looked at her shoulder, she melted the ice dagger and used the water to heal herself. Sokka runs to his sister's side, but Katara ignores him. Sokka decides to go back down below the deck.
Yukio fell back as the flames burned his entire body. Yukio winced in pain as he stood up.
"What does she matter to you anyways?!" Yukio yelled at Zuko.
"She means everything to me!" Zuko said as he ran towards him. Katara created an ice dagger and shot it at Yukio. Yukio grabbed his arm in pain. Zuko kicked several fire blasts at Yukio, burning his entire body. Yukio fell to the ground.
"You haven't even felt the pain that I have gone through." Katara yelled to Yukio.
"You aren't a princess, you are just the Fire Lord's whore!" Yukio yelled at her.
"I would rather be his whore than your wife!" She yelled back, and created an ice dagger that pierced Yukio's heart.
Katara stayed in a fighting stance, and watched Yukio slowly die. Zuko ran behind her and placed his hands on her shoulders. She got out of fighting stance. Zuko turned her around and hugged her; Katara returned the hug and began to cry.
"Everything is going to be alright." Zuko told her. Katara took a deep breaths, and Zuko held her tighter. "Do you want to return home with me?" Zuko asked.
"Yes." Katara said and she broke up the hug to wipe her tears.
"Good, because you will be needing this…" Zuko said and he pulled the red betrothal necklace from the front of his shirt. Katara slightly smiled and placed the necklace around her neck.
Katara gave Zuko another hug, and closed her eyes. Sokka walked onto the deck and saw Yukio's lifeless body.
"Katara?" Sokka said to his sister. Katara opened her eyes, let go of Zuko and turned to her brother.
"Yes, Sokka?" She asked.
"Are you going back to the Fire Nation?" Sokka asked his sister.
"Yes, I am going back." Katara told him. Sokka nodded in understanding and he silently walked to his sister, he gave her a hug. Katara hugged her brother, and then Sokka began to walk away.
"Hey, Sokka." Katara said. Sokka turned around.
"What?" Sokka said.
"You will always be my idiotic brother." She told him. Sokka smiled.
"Thanks." Sokka said. Katara smiled and watched her brother walk off the deck.
Zuko looks at Katara. "Are you ready to go home?" He asked. Katara nodded.
"Yes I am ready to go home." Katara said.
They walk back to the fire nation ship, and step onto the deck.
Later that night Zuko was standing on the deck of the ship, he was watching the waves roll beside the ship. Katara walked from the bedroom of the ship. She was wearing a flowing white gown and her hair was down. Zuko heard her footsteps and turned to look at her. He gasped when he saw her beauty. Her dark brown hair and flowing white gown waved in the cool ocean breeze. She walked towards him; he couldn't keep his eyes off her.
"…Zuko." She said as she rested her hands on his chest. Zuko looked into her eyes.
"Yes Katara." He said, and put his hands on her waist.
"I love you." Katara told him.
"I love you too." Zuko said, and the urge to kiss his fiancé grew. Katara leaned towards his lips, and they both closed their eyes. Katara's arms wrapped around his neck and she tilted her head as their lips touched. Zuko's hands went to her lower back, and as they kissed his hands massaged up and down her back. Katara grabbed the back of his neck and forced their lips together with more passion.
When the kiss was over she faintly blushed and Zuko tried to hold in his excitement. They let go of each other, and they both looked to the ocean.
"Uh…So…." Katara said to break up the silence. Zuko looked at her, when the moonlight hit his face the urge for another kiss overcame Katara and she wrapped her arms around his shoulders and kissed his lips. He wrapped his arms around her waist and massaged her tongue with his. Zuko ran his hand up her back and through her hair. She opened her mouth and took a deep breathe, and then she pushed her lips back on his. He pulled his hands from her hair, down her back and to her waist.
He removed his tongue from her mouth and brought his lips to her neck, he kissed her neck repeatedly. She closed her eyes and took deep breaths. She tilted her head and allowed his lips to wonder to the other side of her neck. She grabbed the back of his head and pushed him harder into her neck. Zuko wrapped his arms around her and picked her up. He carried her into the bedroom.
Zuko placed her on the bed he then closed and locked the door. She sat on the bed and then he climbed on top of her legs, Zuko pulled off his shirt and leaned down to kiss her chest and neck area. Katara pushed her chest upwards towards him.
Zuko's hands wondered up her dress and massaged her outer leg, as he repeatedly kissed her chest. She took deep breathes and rolled her head farther back to allow him to kiss up her neck. Zuko places his hand around her shoulders and grabs her, he rolls over and pulls her on top of him. As Katara laid on top of him, he massaged her back with his hands. She kept her hands on the sides of his face while she repeatedly kissed his lips.
