Looks like she really was worthy the title of royal hunter. For the rest of the day he stayed in his room.

They stayed for two days in the cave. Zuko's wounds healed and at the end of the second day he only had scars.
"Looks like it healed good, thanks to the cacoa-cream." She said this while she took the bandages off. "We will leave tomorrow, I heard that you're good at fighting with twin blades." Zuko nodded, she took the twin blades and gave them to him. "Wait how are you going to protect yourself?" He stood up, for the first time without help.
"I have a sword. And sit down." She smiled when he actually did so. They looked at each other, the fire between them. "So why did they send you?" He asked after awhile.
"Your father send me, he had his own reasons." She looked at him, "I see." He looked at the fire, she saw it. "He didn't." Knowing well enough what he was thinking. "What?" He looked up. "He didn't, your sister saved me." Golden eyes locked with sapphire. Zuko stood up and walked towards her.
"This time, my sister won't save you." He kneeled beside her. "What do you – " He pressed his lips against hers. He wasn't like Jet, not even his father was passionate. She melted her body against his.
After awhile he licked at her bottom lip asking for entrance, she gladly gave him this by opening her mouth. His tongue went inside and searched for hers. Their tongues encircled each other in an unending dance.

The hunter woke up and found herself in Zuko's arms, his chin on her head. "Looks like your awake." She sat up and looked in his eyes, stretching her hands above her head, her lips moving in a little o. "Lets get ready, we will go back today." The prince nodded and stood up, searching for his boxers and pants. Katara stood up as well and searched her clothes.
After they were dressed, she bandaged his back again. It was the safest thing she could do. She took the bag and walked outside waiting for the prince to follow. He took the last bit of water they had and went outside.
"Lets go, we have to walk at least five days before we reach the palace." She started walking. Zuko followed her and they were silent. The enemy could be everywhere.

"I wonder when they will come back." Azula sat on her bed, "We don't know. Your brother got lashes, maybe she has to heal him before they can travel." Ty Lee sat down on the bed as well. "She has nothing with her to heal." The princess looked at her advisor.
"I'm not so sure about that. Song told me that she missed a pot of cacoa-cream." Ty Lee putted a finger under her chin. Azula giggled and gave a soft poke in her advisors arm.
The door opened and Ozai came in, he held a letter in his hand. "Father what is it?" Azula stood up and received the letter. She opened the letter and read it.
The letter fell in the ground, her hand covering her mouth and her eyes were wide. She turned around and Ty Lee could clearly see tears in her eyes. The Firelord left the room, Azula fell on her bed and cried. Ty lee took the letter.
The bodies of prince Zuko and royal hunter Katara where found. They didn't survive the mission.
The letter fell for a second time. The advisor left the room knowing that Azula better could be alone.
