More Than Just Friends
Chapter 3: Kyoshi Island
Disclaimer: I don't own ATLA :'(
Zuko was sitting on the floor in front of his table filled with lit candles. The candles' flame would rise and fall accordingly to Zuko's breathing as he meditated. Jamie was calmly spread out on Zuko's bed reading a water bending scroll. Then all of a sudden the door opened. Jamie looked up and smiled, it was Iroh.
"The only reason you should be interrupting me is if you have news about the Avatar." Zuko said opening his eyes. Jamie put her scroll down and swung her legs over the edge of the bed to sit up.
"Well there is new prince Zuko, but you might not like it. Don't get too upset." Iroh said calmly.
"Uncle, you taught me that keeping a level head is a sign of a great leader. Now whatever you have to say I'm sure I can take it." Zuko said in the calmest voice he could manage.
"Okay then, we have no idea where he is." Iroh said. Then all of a sudden the small candle flames went wild hitting the ceiling.
"What?" Zuko yelled as he stood up and faced his uncle. Jamie fell backwards onto the bed covering her face.
"You really should open a window in here." Iroh said taking out a fan and fanning himself. Jamie snickered under her hand.
"Give me the map." Zuko said grabbing the map from his uncle.
"Uh, there have been many sightings of the Avatar, but he is impossible to track down."
"How am I going to find him Uncle? He is clearly a master of evasive maneuvering." Zuko said looking down at the map.
"Zuko, you will find him; I know it." Jamie said getting up off the bed and walking over to Zuko.
"Thanks Jamie, you're always there for me." Zuko said wrapping an arm around her waist.
"Now let's go down to the dining room and have some dinner. I'm starving." Jamie said smirking at Zuko and taking the map out of his hand and placing it on the table where the candles sit. She takes Zuko's hand and leads him down stairs to the dining room.
Iroh, Zuko, and Jamie sat down at the table and began to eat their rice as their main entrees are being prepared. When the server came in to give Zuko his lobster he whispered something in his ear.
"The Avatar is on Kyoshi Island?" Zuko asked as he stood up. "Uncle, ready the rhinos; he is not getting away from me this time." Zuko said while walking away.
"Are you going to finish that?" Iroh asked pointing to the lobster.
"I was going to save it for later." Zuko said snatching his lobster up from the table and walking away.
Jamie rolled her eyes and stood up to go to her room. "Well thank you for dinner Uncle Iroh. It was delicious, well of what we had. I will be off to freshen up and assist Zuko in Kyoshi Island." Jamie walked away and up the stairs to her room.
-A few hours later-
Jamie bended water into four water skins that hung on her rhino. When she finished she hopped on and pulled her rhino up to Zuko's.
"Ready to go?" Zuko asked her.
"Yep, promise me one thing first."
"What is it? I'll do anything for you."
"Promise me you won't hurt any innocent people. You're here for the Avatar and the Avatar only." Jamie gripped her reigns as she explained.
"I promise I won't hurt any innocent people." Zuko said with a weak smile.
They could feel the boat pull up to shore. The front gate dropped down and Zuko, Jamie and three other fire benders rode their rhinos off the boat and on to Kyoshi Island.
"I want the Avatar alive." Zuko said to his men as the rode into the town. "Come out Avatar; you can't hide from me forever. Find him." Zuko said to his men. They rode away and left Zuko and Jamie in front of the town's entrance. Then all of a sudden this girl came running towards Zuko and Jamie. Jamie pulled her rhino behind the buildings and climbed off she ran back towards Zuko to see him fighting off the girl. He fire bended towards her and another girl stepped in front blocking the fire. Then another girl jumped at Zuko and knocked him off his rhino.
Jamie watched as Zuko was being surrounded by girls. He kicked fire at each of them and knocked each girl off her feet.
"Nice try Avatar, but these little girls can't save you." Zuko said moving to the center of the town.
"Hey over her," A kid yelled. The kid that Zuko had on his ship, the one that threatened Jamie.
"Finally," Zuko shot fire towards the kid, who dodged each attack. While they fought Jamie ran over to her rhino and hopped on it and went to the center of the town. She bended the water from her water skins and started putting out the fires on the buildings but was soon running out of water.
"Back to the ship! Don't lose sight of them!" Zuko said jumping on his rhino. Then all of a sudden it started raining and all the buildings that were on fire were put out. Jamie looked up and saw a huge water serpent go under water as the Avatar leaped from it. She looked at Zuko who was soaked and she laughed. She, Zuko, and Zuko's men rode back to the boat and put the rhinos away. She then went to her room and changed into clean dry clothes. A few minutes later Zuko came in with different clothes on. They both crawled into her bed and fell asleep.
