Inumaru: Yay, look at all the pretty reviews! Thanks everyone who read AND reviewed! For those who read but didn't review (Sticks tongue out) Well guess what, NO COOKIES FOR YOU! Yeah, everyone who reviewed gets cookies! (Hands out cookies) So please remember to review. It keeps me happy.
BTW: For the random person who wanted to know if this was gonna be, or if it could be, Zutara (Which is ZukoXKatara for those noobs that don't know…JK) I only have one thing to say to that….
NO.
And yes, that is my final answer. I absolutely hate that pairing! I just hate it so much it makes me wanna hit something every time there is a hint of that pairing on the show.
Okay, since you know I obviously don't own Avatar or anything of important value I'm just going to start the chapter.
CHAPTER START!
Chapter five
Story of a Girl
Kerr-splash!!
There was a huge splash as two people fell into the ocean. Soon after they fell in, two heads broke through the surface and gasped for water.
"I Hate you." Zuko said.
"Aww, What's wrong Zukie? Does the wittle princy not like an wittle water?" Sarah asked in a mocking voice.
"I'm from the fire nation, No, I don't like water all that much." Said Zuko honestly.
A rope then came from the sky and bonked Sarah on the head.
"Ow." Sarah said as she rubbed her wet head and as Zuko climbed up the rope. Sarah then followed after. The crew helped Zuko onto the ship but Iroh was the only one who helped Sarah up. Sarah then gave him a gracious smile but them gave a yelp of pain when she put her hand in her pocket.
Sarah then put her hand in her pocket and pulled out her brother's soaked IPod.
'Ohshitohshitohshitohshit.' Was basically the only thought going through her head. Her brother's IPod shocked her again, as if it was angry that she took it from her rightful owner. Sarah accidentally dropped it onto the ground, and she fell to her knees and cradled it and tried to dry it off.
"Come on baby, work for me please…" Pleaded Sarah.
Zuko's crew looked at her strangely but Sarah continued to talk to it, not even noticing the looks.
Sarah pressed play again and a scratchy kind of sound came out. Music started to play but skipped ever now and again but suddenly it started playing clearly.
Sarah immediately recognized the song and gave a cheer and sang along with the song.
"This is the story of girl, who cried a river and drowned the whole world. While she looks so sad in photographs, I absolutely love her-When she smiles!" Sarah sang happily.
Suddenly a foot came down and destroyed the Ipod, and Sarah's happiness. Sarah stared in shock and then looked up to see the crew mates and Zuko shaking slightly.
"What the hell was that thing?!?" Yelled Zuko.
Tears clouded Sarah's eyes and Zuko flinched at the tears.
"W-why d-did you break it?" Sarah asked, choking on sobs.
"W-well it was sending weird messages and it was just creepy." Zuko said.
"B-but I thought you were my friend." Sarah said, causing a lot of "Awws" to come out of the crew members. "It was really important to me."
"Why?" Zuko asked, feeling a little awkward with everyone starting at him and a crying girl in front of him.
Sarah put curled her hands into fist and put them over her face, and sobbed.
"M-my parents gave it to me before they went out for food on my birthday, but an man murdered them and then cut them up into little pieces and sold them to Sakura: Steak House and all these people ate them. Now it is- well, Was all I had left of them!" Sarah said, and she continued sobbing.
Iroh came up and hugged the girl and helped her on to her feet. He then glared at everyone of them, even Zuko.
"You should all be ashamed of yourselves making this poor girl cry like this." He scolded.
Everyone, even Zuko, looked down in shame.
Iroh helped her up and then brought her to the infirmary and smiled as soon as he closed the door.
"Very good act Sarah. The look on everyone's face was priceless." Smiled Iroh.
Sarah wiped away the fake tears from her face.
"You could tell Mr. Iroh?" She asked.
"Yes, but not at first, and please, no need to be so polite." Said Iroh.
"I am so glad I took Drama Club!" Sarah said as she pumped her fist into the air. Sarah then wondered something.
"I wonder if I made Zuko feel guilty for breaking the IPod?" wondered Sarah.
"If I know my nephew, it is probably eating him alive." Said a very amused Iroh.
In Zuko's Room
'Why is this eating me alive?!?' yelled Zuko in his mind. For the last half hour he had been in an mental conflict. Half of him told him to hold his pride high and not to apologize. (A.K.A: The little devil Zuko who sits on his left shoulder) While the other half nagged him to go and apologize. (A.K.A: The little angel Zuko that sits on his right shoulder) Luckily the angel side was winning.
He finally got his lazy butt out of his room and asked his crew where his crazy uncle was hiding the girl. Someone, who Zuko didn't remember his name so he just called him Paco, told him that she was in the infirmary. Zuko walked quickly to his destination and stopped outside the door. He took in a deep breath then he knocked.
"We don't want any." Said his uncle's voice from behind the door.
"Uncle, it's me." Said Zuko.
"I know." Replied Iroh
"So let me in."
"No."
"Why not?" Zuko asked, starting to get annoyed.
"Because I said so." Said Iroh.
"Is this because I broke the girl's thing?"
"Maybe…" Iroh admitted.
"Sarah." Said a third voice.
"What?" Asked Zuko.
"My name is Sarah." Said an upset sounding voice.
"I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you." Said Zuko.
There was a moment then the door came flying open and Sarah came right up to Zuko and looked him straight in the eyes.
"Okay. I wanna come with you on your search for the Avatar." She said, shocking both Zuko and Iroh.
Before Zuko could even make a protest, Iroh put his hands together.
"Well, if you two are to go out tomorrow you'll need some good rest." Said Iroh. He suddenly started pushing them out the door.
"Now Sarah, Zuko will show you where to sleep. If there is no other room, you can share with him. Everything understood? Good." Said Iroh.
"But Uncle-" Zuko started to complain.
"Bed. Now don't stay up all night gossiping, or whatever you teenagers do nowadays, it will kill you in the morning." He said again, as he successful in getting them out. Iroh sighed as he heard them walking away arguing.
Iroh really hoped that he wouldn't wake up to find a blood bath with bodies everywhere.
Iroh sighed again as he heard loud yelling. The chances of waking up to find no causalities was like him giving up tea.
It was gonna be a long night.
