Fiction Rated: T - English –general/Romance – a Zutara fic

Sorry for the wait! I rewrote this so many times. I need more ideas…

Disclaimer – I don't own any cast members from Avatar. I only own the plot (Although I got some ideas from other fans. I still had the characters do different things though).

Just to let everyone know… I'd like to thank powderedsugar for reviewing as many times as she did and I'd also like to thank ML7 because she encouraged me to keep writing when I ran out of ideas. I thank everyone who reviewed and the reason I redid all my chapters is because I had a lot of better ideas and it is better to do it now then if I had already finished the story.

HERE'S THE NEW AND IMPROVED FIFTH CHAPTER

Yo Mama of the chapter;

If yo mama was in a beauty competition, she'd get graded an F for ED UP! (I know that that one is really bad and mean so I'm sorry if you don't like it)

This is a border… the thing isn't working so… this is a border… 

Chapter 5 Oh My God

They panted. Neither one moved and neither one knew what to do. Finally after a moment of standing breathless in front of one another, they finally came to their senses.

"Get off of me." Katara said through her teeth as she stared him down.

"Make me" Katara leaned in… their bodies getting closer and closer, the speechless soldier with his stick, jaw dropping lower and lower. As Katara closed in on him and their bodies were barely touching… she bent her head back and rammed him in the head.

Zuko was shocked but still held tight onto her wrists. She noticed this and took this as her chance to split. She kneed him hard in his valuables and he let go of her hands to grab his now throbbing crotch.

She smirked as she summoned whatever water was in her water basin and hit him with it. She then summoned it again and shot icicles at his head. He quickly realized this and melted the icicles away with a blast of fire.

"Haven't you ever heard of decency?" He was furious now… the pain still in his lower abdomen.

"I have... but I doubt I'll ever use it on a spoiled prince like you!" She quickly took as much water was left and whipped him in the face. He grabbed his eye and stepped back. He then blasted some fire and shot her in the stomach. A small cell was no place for a fight and the damage was severe, with little room to weaken the strike.

Katara clutched her stomach and then ducked as another blow was aimed at her head. Now the soldier was even more shocked. What could possibly happen now?

She kicked his feet throwing him off balance. He banged his head back onto the wall but slowly regained his balance. His right hand started to glow and he shot a fist at her side. She clutched her stomach once more; her right hip began to change to a dark red. She slapped him in the head and tried to kick him. He grabbed her foot and spun her around onto her cot. She got up quickly and whipped him with water hard on the leg.

Thank goodness he was shirtless or this would be of no help to her. His armor would have just made it harder to strike him down.

He fell down onto the floor once more and she tried to make a break for it. She reached the cell door and tried to sprint to the exit. He grabbed her foot and she fell flat on her face. She smacked him in the arm and left nail marks in his skin. He was furious now. He dragged her back into her cell and blasted her with as much fire as he had left in him. She covered her face with her arms but it was too much for her. She slammed into the wall and slowly drifted into unconsciousness.

As Zuko finally realized what he had done, he got up, dusted himself off and stared at her. There was so much damaged to be repaired. Her side was bleeding freely now and her whole stomach was back and blue, noticeable through her half torn and burnt shirt/dress. Her head was now black and blue and her arms and legs were severely burned. He looked at the awed soldier who apparently couldn't believe what had just happened.

"Get her into the infirmary and tell the doctor to fix her up." The soldier still stood there, unable to move.

"Did you hear me? I said get her into the infirmary!" He stomped out of the cell and to his room, leaving a young soldier to care for the girl and guilt to eat away at his heart.

Sokka and Aang looked around and only saw mobs of people. They tried to squeeze past as they headed into the nearest shelter. The entire shop was filled with shelves and cabinets filled with merchandise. The ceiling was about two feet above their head and the shop was at least the size of King Bumi's newly refurnished room that was once bad.

It was the largest indoor shop in the village and someone was bound to see Katara. They went to the women's apparel section and asked many passing shoppers if there was a water bender in there anywhere. They got mixed answers. Water benders with black hair, white hair, extremely tall, short, fat, big nose, small mouth, old, and young… basically everything you could think of except Katara. Sokka described Katara as detailed as he could and finally got an answer. One woman whose name was Kuju had said that she saw a young teenager wearing blue pass by the shop not to long ago. The girl had blue clothes and blue eyes. But, she didn't see her hair for her hood covered it.

This could be our chance! Maybe it was Katara! We were probably worried over nothing. Please be Katara! I must protect her I must…I must… "Sokka? Don't worry, we'll find her soon" Aang said as if reading his mind.

The two friends in distress walked out of the store with little hope left. They thought of the woman and the girl she described. They desperately hoped that Katara was her.

They struggled to get through the large crowd but made it in the end. The woman said the girl was heading toward the beach. It just so happened that that was where they were going to search next, so they headed in that direction.

They made it to the door and pushed their way through a sea of people. They sat down by the docks and looked out into the water. The wooden planks on the floor looked so old that it was a wonder how it could hold them up. The search was not going well. The information they got was not very useful, only the one description of the girl with the hood could even come close to being Katara. It was their last chance.

It was now the afternoon and surprisingly hot on the island. They walked around screaming her name. A young girl with a blue parka, hood over her head, walked down the road. They ran up to her and spun her around, causing her hood to flop down. Sokka gave her a huge hug, surprised she wasn't returning it. She did not here Aang greet her as he did.

"Katara where the heck have you be-"They stopped shaking her. She was not Katara. Underneath that parka she wore was a green piece of clothing. She was so familiar. Suddenly it came to him… it was the girl he saw when he was looking for Aang. He was speechless. Aang took control.

"We're really sorry! We thought you were someone else!" The girl nodded. Then she took off… running into the forest. The two friends didn't know what to make of it. Sokka finally gave up and fell to the floor.

"I don't know what to do, Aang… I just… I can't…"

"I know Sokka. She has been gone for hours, but maybe we just missed her or we keep looking in the wrong places.

"No! I promised I would take care of her and look now what I have done! First Yue, now Katara! I can't deal with myself!

"We could check the beach again if it would calm your nerves."

"No, I checked, there is no sign of her anywhere."

"Which beach did you check?"

"The east coast, why? It can't be on the west coast, she would never go there. Its sand is way to rocky and the water is murky and it-"

"How do you know Sokka? She could be anywhere. The words of Bumi say to look at ALL of the possibilities! We should go check." Aang said hopefully.

"Fine…"

Sorry for the wait! The quarter ended and I had tests up the wazoo! And writer's block… Those stinking border things aren't working also! Review please!
