Katara was confused, and it was all Zuko's fault.
A short while ago, the prince had begun helping them, sneaking to and from the place to gather and give information. He wasn't around all the time, but it was often enough to drive her mad.
And in more ways than one, too.
First, Katara had found his visits annoying, wishing he would just stay away and get out of her life. Then she found herself starting to miss him when he was gone.
It made no sense. Why did she hate him one minute, than feel something completely different the next? How was it possible that she wanted to kill him and kiss him at the same time? She couldn't understand anything anymore. It was almost as if she were…
In love.
But how could she be? After all, there was no denying the hatred she felt toward Zuko.
Then again, she couldn't deny the painful longing she felt when he was gone, either.
She missed when they were enemies, and all she had time to feel was loathing and anger. It was so much easier then. Now things were complicated and confusing.
She hated how he gone and screwed up her life.
But she loved that he was helping them now.
She hated him. But she loved him.
She wished he would stay with her, but she also wanted him out of her life.
Katara didn't know what to feel, and she hoped Zuko was as confused and miserable as she was.
Author's Notes: Yeah... I wrote this before 312 was aired, so it probably doesn't tie into canon very well. Oh well, I still like it.
