Katara sat talking with Iroh as she held the baby on her knee. Haru had set up a grand feast and of corse Sokka was stuffing his face, along with Aang and Momo. It was along time since they had a realy good and big meal so this was the usual reactions for them.
Zuko had wandered off, and Katara didn't like it. He was worried about something or thinking about something really hard. Why couldn't he tell her? There were supposed to be a couple. Hell, they were even gettign married after the feast, even though that part was a secret. The villageers didn't know but Iroh, and the rest of their little group did.
They would spend the night there and leave first thing in the morning. But by god, if he didn't tell her what was bugging him there were going to be worlds of trouble.
She sat there for the longest time waiting for him to show but he didn't. She narrowed her eyes and handed Riyo to Iroh.
"Uncle would you watch him for a moment. I have to have a talk with your nephew." Iroh smiled.
"Uh oh. Sounds like my nephew is in for it." Katara just smiled and started off to find him. She found him up on the cliff that he had taken off from earlier. He was sitting solemly looking out over the ocean. She stood behind him for a while just watching him. He would reach down and toss a pebble off the cliff then sit very still as he watched it.
Katara smiled to herself. He was so easily amused. She shook her head, she came up here to yell at him not to think of how cute he was.
"So you found your way back." Zuko jumped at her voice and turned to look at her. She stared at him, he must have been in deep thought if she caused him to jump.
"Yes?"
"I want to know what is bugging you."
"Nothing. I already told you." Katara crossed her arms and pursed her lips.
"You are lying."
"Get off my back woman! If I said it is nothing then it is nothing." Katara stared at him her mouth agape.
"What did you say?"
"You heard me." He hissed. Her face crinkled in rage and she reached down grabbign him by the ear pullign him to his feet.
"Care to say that again to my face?" Zuko just looked at her, realizing just what he said and who he said it to. It was almost like the rage inside him was talking for him before he could think.
"I said I love you?"
"Nope that won't work." She hissed and started walking off with a death grip on his ear. He stumbled along behind her refusing to complain in fear that his good ear might just be ripped off he is said the wrong thing.
"You think ;you can talk to me like that! You have another thing coming Mr. Prince. I am you wife to be and my husband will not talk to me like I am his inferior or his slave! What nerve do you have?" Katara grumbled. Zuko thanked the spirits that she was a waterbender or he would have been burnt to ashes. Also he thanked them for the fact they were heading away from the water.
She stopped and turend around pushing him to the ground with a thud making him sit on a rock.
"Stay!" She growled and walked over and leaned against a tree, crossing her arms over her chest. She was quiet for a long time, and what seemed like to Zuko a year. Zuko watched her. Her face went from pure anger to that of hurt.
"Zuko..." She said softly. "This relationship will never work if you lie to me. Or keep things from me." Zuko looked to the ground.
"I'm so sorry Katara. I didn't.."
"It doesn't matter. You did and that is the point. I will kick your ass and you know it. I know something is bothering you and if you don't tell me I just might have to drown you." She said a little hint of playfulness in her voice at the end. Zuko smiled. She was right, he couldn't keep anything from her without facing a woman's scorn. And he knew the saying all to well.
"I am weary is all."
"Of battle or of me?"
Zuko frowned at her and stood up. He walked over and pulled her into his arms, holdind her tight.
"Of my sister. How could you even think I would grow weary of you?"
"You don't tell me what is bothering you, so what am I supposed to think." She hissed into his shoulder. Zuko pulled her chin up to make her look at you.
"That is stupid. I love you. I am marrying you. I wouldn't if I didn't."
"You might." Zuko shook his head and kissed her. She smiled into the kiss and ran her hand up to his neck pulling him into a deeper and more passionate kiss. They parted and looked into each others eyes.
Katara took a deep breath and hugged him tight. Zuko smiled into her hair. He pushed her back and looked at her.
"Look. I want to appologize again." She smiled and put a finger to his lips gently.
"Appologize later." She said softly. Zuko leaned down and his warm lips touched hers gently, and as if a fire had been sparked, the passion ignited and things got hot.
Zuko gently laid her back on the grass that was soft with leaves. He looked at her and over her beautiful face.
"Katara I love you so much." Katara smiled and nodded as he leaned down and kissed her lovingly.
"I love you more." She giggled and attacked his neck.
