Author's Note:

I would like to thank JoinTheZutarian for reviewing Destroyed in Love and following me. I will most likely update this story almost every day.

I think this will end up being a mix of Kataang and Zutara, for all of the fans of both out there.

I will most likely post chapter four today, also, because my chapters tend to be on the shorter side

Zuko's POV

You're evil and sick and I hate you more than the Fire Lord himself. Well that shouldn't be a surprise, of course she hated me. I shouldn't care, though. The only thing I should care about is capturing the avatar, and that is the only thing I care about.

"I'm sorry," I smirk. "I'm just a little confused, you say that like I'm supposed to care wheather you like me or hate me."

Katara makes a sound of indigation, I see a flash of water in the air, ice on her fingertips. A second later I feel the wound the sharp point of the ice made in my side. I gave the water-bender less than a cup of water and she still manages to do damage?

"Damn it!" I snap at her. "I gave you a nice room, and food, and water. What else do you want you brat?" The blood stains my shirt. She starts to say something back but I cut her off by leaving, the door giving a satisfying slam.

I go to check on the captain to see if we're still headed on the right course, towards the Fire Nation. We're not. These fools, who told the captain to go off course? It's crucial to get to the Fire Nation before the Avatar and Katara somehow escape; the Avatar is smarter and more powerful than I give him credit for.

"WHO TOLD YOU TO CHANGE COURSE?" I roar at the captain. "NO ONE! SO WHY ARE WE NO LONGER GOING IN THE DIRECTION OF THE FIRE NATION?"

"Actually, Zuko," called my uncle, Iroh, from his card came. "I told the captain to change course. An extreme tragedy has occurred." A dramatic pause. "I have lost my Lotus Tile. For my Pai Sho game. I'll check the markets of the Earth village, hopefuly they will have the traditional Lotus Tile in stock. Not many still understand and play by the traditional—"

"A LOTUS TILE?" I roar again. "YOU'RE SACRIFICING MY HONOR FOR A STUPID CARD GAME PIECE?"

"The Lotus tile is a—" Iroh starts.

I cut him off by leaving and slamming the door. Again. It would take twice as long to go back to the Earth Kingdom and then back to the Fire Nation. I wasn't sure if I could keep the Avatar under control for that long.

Aang's POV

I pace the prison Zuko stuffed me in, thinking. I knew I could probably get out fairly easily the next time one of Zuko's guards came around to give me food. The only problem was Katara. I guess I could knock out the guard, escape, and look for Katara. I had to take the chance, or we could both die anyway once we got to the fire nation.

Where did Sokka and Toph go, anyway? They weren't there when I woke up in the middle of that night, but they were there the night before, I saw them go to sleep. I don't think Zuko has them. Of course, our group has a tendancy to go wandering off sometimes. But if Sokka and Toph were there, this could probably have been stopped. Idiots.

I try to go to sleep for a while, wanting to be rested for my escape plan. The only risky part was finding Katara before someone figured out I was gone.

When the next mealtime came around, I set my plan into action. The guard came in with the food. I slammed him into the wall and shoved him into the corner, taking the key from him. Stuffing the key in my pocket, I close the door behind me when I leave.
