Chapter 5

Is he Cheating?

Katara raffled through the clean towel talking to her self. Where the hell is it? I know I put it in here somewhere. She looked through everything. It was useless. It can't be in here she yelled. Katara picked herself up from the junky bathroom floor and ran to her study. Maybe she kept in there after writing it and thought to put it in a hidden place but didn't. She pulled the drawers of her mahogany desk off the hedges and scattered papers everywhere. "Where is it!" she shouted to no one. All she could think about was what if Zuko finds it. There's no telling what he'd do if he read that letter. Pointless she said after rummaging through another drawer. " Please Gods...Don't let Zuko find it if I don't get to it first" she whispered slouching to the ground. She was so frustrated.

Katara got up and stormed out of the study. Her mood had suddenly changed. She had to get the mess she left in the bathroom cleaned up before Zuko got back.

"Servants!" She yelled but got no answer.

"Servants!" she yelled again annoyed. Again she got answer. Frustrated, she walked to her room and rang the bell for someone to come up. Soon enough a very young girl dressed in black cloth pants and a red apron with gold dragons on it came in.

"Yes My Lady?" She asked curiously.

Finally… "Can you please send someone up to clean the bathing quarters?"

"Of coarse My lady" The young girl smiled lightly walking out of the room.

A few minutes after the servant walked out Katara left. She was still wondering about the letter she wrote when she saw that red headed woman again. The Lady parallel to Katara stared her up and down with a smirk and then walked towards the council room. What's her problem? Katara didn't think much of the woman and walked to her garden. She was bored out her mind. She sat in the roses for what seemed lie forever wishing she were with her brother and friends.

She hadn't seen them since last month and it was killing her. Aang wrote telling her he and Toph would come visit soon. Soon couldn't come any faster as to how she was feeling. She fell asleep in a daze thinking about her brother and his sarcastic ways, Toph and her sloppiness, and Aang with his Happiness.

Oooo

Zuko was relieved that the meetings were over. They were so boring and frustrating. They also made him hungry. So thank Gods it was dinnertime. He couldn't concentrate on anything but Katara. He hoped that she would be at dinner and he could tell…no show her how sorry he was. Another thing on his mind was the unpleasant looks fromacross the table he got from Uncle Iroh. He wondered why and stood at the door awaiting for him to come out.

"Uncle" Zuko said as if in a question.

" Yes Fire Lord Zuko"

"What's wrong? Why were you looking at me like that?" Zuko asked in a curious voice.

" O Zuko my boy, You must be paranoid. I was not staring at you. I was just thinking about tea." Iroh said with a huge grin.

"Tea?"

" Ha Ha Ha. Yes tea of coarse. I've been thinking about it all day. As a matter of fact I'm on my way to satisfy my craving. Care to join?"

Zuko rejected and wished the Old man a good night. He didn't really like tea and he wanted to see Katara. He was still confused of the fact that Tea was why his Uncle was shooting daggers at him. But he did consider that his Uncle does have a mysterious mind. Maybe that was the reason.

As Zuko reached the dinning hall he met up with a friend unexpectedly.

"Good evening Fire Lord Zuko" she said softly.

"Good evening Ember" Zuko smiled.

"So where might you be heading my o so powerful Lord of the Fire Nation?"

"I'm on my way to the Dinning hall to meet Katara." Zuko replied not bugged by Ember's question.

Ember looked down at the sound of Katara's name. She hated her for taking Zuko away from her. She was suppose to be the Fire lady not some water bender with blue eyes.

" I'm afraid my lady won't be joining you today My Lord. I seen her walking into the garden and I don't think she'll be coming out anytime soon." Ember replied forging a frown but deep down was smiling her ass off.

She must still be mad at me. Zuko didn't want to be alone that night and needed someone to talk to. He asked Ember to stay and join him at dinner and she happily accepted.

Oooo

Katara awoke in the garden wondering what the time was. The sun was down but it couldn't have been to late. It must have been dinnertime she thought. Why did I skip breakfast? I'm starving. She picked herself up from the beautiful bunch of roses and set off to eat. I'm late. She hoped Zuko wouldn't be mad at her.

Katara walked to the dinning hall only to find that red headed women again eating with Zuko and laughing her head off. Why was Zuko sitting with this woman who looked at her as if she were nothing. Suddenly she didn't feel hungry anymore. She just ran up to her room and threw herself on the large bed they both shared. What's going on? Is Zuko cheating on me? Why? Zuko, Why? She cried into her pillow.

Oooo

"O My Fire Lord Zuko. It's getting late" Ember laughed.

" I think I'd better go"

" Yes, I do think your right" Zuko replied. "We've been done with our dinner at least three hours ago"

The two fire benders got up from the table and went their separate ways. Zuko headed to his bedroom expecting for Katara to be asleep but only opening the door to a lamp heading for his face.
