Chapter Five- Game of "Tag"

The group sat there and watched the two hit each other. No one really knew how it got started but it became a game for them. One of them would hit the other lightly and move so that the other couldn't hit them back.

Sokka of course ignored it, not wanting to believe what it really was. Aang sat there disappointed that he wasn't in Zuko's place. Toph shook her head not sure what to think of their little game.

Eventually Zuko got frustrated. He did not play games. He did not have fun. So he hit Toph upside the head getting her involved.

"Hey!" She shouted. She was about to hit Zuko when she heard Katara laughing. "You think this is funny Sugar Queen?" She asked before throwing a few pebbles at her. Katara scoffed before running and hitting her brother.

"No way. I'm not in." Sokka said crossing his arms. Katara frowned at him. "Oh fine." He pushed Aang to the ground and went back to ignoring them. Aang proceeded to chase Katara around.

The game continued and eventually everyone was spread out so the person who was "it" had to find someone to tag. Zuko was currently that unlucky person somehow.

He wandered around slowly convincing himself that this was good practice for battle, not a game. He heard a twig snap behind him and turned in time to see a blue figure running. He sprinted off after it.

Katara knew he was gaining on her but she didn't really care. Before she knew it, he was right behind her and she was slowing down. She felt fingers on her arms and she was pulled to the ground with Zuko standing over her.

"Good thing this wasn't a battle." He said.

"If it was a battle, I wouldn't have let you catch me." She smiled. He just made a curt laugh. "You're it again." Katara said lightly smacking his leg.

"Game's over." He said and offered her a hand up. She looked at it skeptically for a moment before taking it. He didn't let go of her hand once she was up though. Instead, he backed her into a nearby tree then pinned both her arms above her head. "You loose." He whispered harshly.

Toph, hidden in some bushes, listened to what was happening. There was a slight struggle but it quickly faded. She heard Zuko shift his feet slightly in the dirt. She assumed he moved closer due to Katara's heart rate rising vaguely.

Zuko whispered something that she just couldn't make out. He was too far away and too quiet. But whatever he said made Katara hold her breath.

Toph got up quietly and walked away. "Too much fluff and drama in this group." She said to herself.

This is probably my least favorite chapter and I don't know why. Let me know what you guys think by reviewing!
