"I'll get you, Ozai. Mark my words. I'll get you for this."

"It's been a good run."

Two days and another ship had met at the Southern Water Tribe to Katara, Aang, and Zuko to the Northern Waters.

"Bye, I'm going to miss you, little sis." Sokka said hugging Katara.

"What are you talking about?" She asked stepping back.

"Well, you're going, aren't you?"

"Yes," She nodded. "And so are you!" She said grabbing his arm and guiding him up to the ship.

"What? Katara!" Sokka snatched his arm from her. "What are you talking about?"

"Sokka, you say you don't have anything to live up to. If you don't know your destination; who determines your destiny?" Sokka's shoulders dropped and he looked down at the ground, thinking.

"I don't know, Katara," He said turning his head.

"C'mon, Sokka. You know you want to!" She smiled, tugging on him.

"Well, alright." He said letting her take him up the ship. A midshipmen showed to the their rooms and then took them to dinner.

"I wonder what it's going to be like in the Northern Water Tribe," Katara said laying down next to Zuko.

"Probably the same." He said wrapping his arm around her.

"Well, they haven't ever been raided by the Fire Nation. Theirs is probably more...better." She said rolling onto her back.

"M." He manged to grunt out before falling asleep. It was tiring and stressful to have to worry about your body heat for three days. He didn't know why, but it seemed like the clothes didn't help. Any.

Katara smiled and kissed his cheek before closing her eyes and falling asleep.

Katara woke up with the smell of fresh food surrounding her. She was surprised to see Zuko asleep next to her. She shrugged and left to bed.

Sokka had already eaten the main meal...twice and he was making his way to the dessert. Aang was taking small bites out of his noodles.

"Hey," Aang waved.

"Hi." Katara said taking a seat next to her brother.

"Oh my gosh," Sokka said. "This stuff is amazing! What is it?" Sokka asked poking it.

"Jello." A watching Midshipmen sneered. This boy had absolutely NO manners! He made the Water Tribe people look more barbarian than the former Fire Lord had painted them to be. This Midshipmen hoped he wouldn't act like that at the Prince's wedding. He rolled his eyes behind his mask and sighed a heavy sigh underneath his armour. He took a step back when Sokka started to slurp the Fire Nation delicacy.

"Sokka!" Katara scolded, smacking him on his arm. She shook her head and looked at Aang. "Eat more like he does." She said taking a small bite out of her bread. Katara studied her brother. She noticed how much she had changed and he had stayed the same. His posture and manners were horrible and it took all her strength not to correct him. Until, he did something really horrible.

Katara gasped and nearly dropped her bread when she saw Sokka drop a cookie from his chop sticks (which he wasn't even supposed to be using to grab a cookie) and then stick his chop sticks VERTICAL into his half eaten rice.

"Sokka!" She yelped, snatching the chopsticks and placing them into the holder.

"Hm?" He asked.

"Do not EVER put your chop sticks like that! Don't you listen to mom?"

"Why?" He shrugged.

"When people die, say a soldier, his sword is stuck into the ground vertical ways. It signifies death, Sokka." She told him with a scowl on her face.

"Ohhh," He said taking another cookie. Katara figured he had known better! Kya had always taught them table manners. Well, yes, they weren't as strict at home as they were here, but...she couldn't even think about what he might act like at the wedding. She had already felt like she was only accepted in the palace and not the nation. Sokka wasn't going to help if everyone saw him like that. She hoped someone would help him, but then again she knew Sokka wasn't really one to change his ways.

Katara sighed and lowered her head and when Zuko walked in with a raised brow at her brother. Zuko floated right by the dinner table and talked to one of the guards. He came back, with his lip lightly snarled and sat down in front of his lady.

"You're hungry?" Zuko asked, tilting his head. Sokka looked up. Noticing that something was wrong, he lowered his bowl and sat still.

"Sea prunes...get old." Sokka said, obviously embarrassed.

"We have more of that on the ship, Sokka. We're not going to run out. There will be plenty in the Fire Nation, also." Zuko picked up his chop sticks.

"I thought we were going to the Northern Water Tribe." Sokka said, watching Zuko. Sokka sat up straight after looking at everyones posture.

"Well, you'll be attending the wedding, right?" Sokka nodded. "It's barely a month away." Zuko said taking a bite from his rice. Sokka gulped and looked around. Most of the table was distorted from his rampage for food.

After breakfast Sokka pulled Katara to the side.

"I didn't do too good at breakfast, did I" He asked playing with his fingers.

"Well, Sokka. You didn't do well at breakfast. Mom taught us that, too." She said with crossed arms.

"Oh," His shoulders dropped, disappointed.

"It's okay, Sokka. It was hard for me at first, too. But, to be accepted, I kind of need blend in. Do you want to learn Fire Nation etiquette?" She asked, placing a hand on his shoulder. He nodded.

"Now," Katara started. "At the table, you should be vertical, not your chop sticks." Sokka nodded. "See this?" Katara pointed to a small piece of curved wood. "When you are not using your chop sticks, you place the food end here." She instructed. He nodded, already knowing that. "At the table, elders are served first. Touching them in any way can be considered as disrespectful so, don't do it." Katara shook her head. Sokka's forehead folded. What? A touch can be assuring...how is that bad? "Do not EVER tap your chop sticks against your bowl, don't cross yours with someone else, and don't...?" She trailed off.

"Put them vertical." He answered.

"We're not really supposed to wear shoes in the palace, but we do anyways because those floors are so cold!" She said. "But, if you're going into someone else's house, you should take your shoes off in the foyer with the toes pointing outside. Your socks should be clean, too."

Katara paused.

"Now," She started a new lesson. "Remember when mama shook hands with Lady Ursa?"

"Yes." Sokka nodded.

"Ladies aren't supposed to shake hands. They're only 'sposed to nod. Ursa shook mom's hand to be polite. That "thumbs up" thing you do...yeah, that's bad," She nodded. "You ALWAYS use your right hand when someone is giving you something. Always. If you ever have any kind of meeting with anyone..don't touch them. Just don't." She sighed.

"At the wedding, you might get some presents, since you're my brother. Don't open the presents while the giver is there."

"I have to wait?!" Sokka asked. Katara smiled and nodded.

"You won't really have to bow much, since your not from the Fire Nation." She told him. "Even if somethings funny, you should remain serious. Don't point." Katara nodded.

"Is that it?" Sokka asked. Katara nodded again. "Oh," They both let out a sigh at the same time. "That's a lot." He said. Katara nodded.

"At least you didn't have to go to like, actual classes where they test you and everything."

After lunch Katara went to go see Aang.

"Aang," Katara started, walking towards him.

"Yeah?" He asked looking up at her.

"You know," She stood next to him. "The avatar was last born in the Air Nomads and a new avatar hasn't been reborn yet...and you're the last air bender."

"You guys know, huh?" He asked looking away from her.

"Well, when you think about it, it's kind of obvious. Why didn't you tell us earlier?" She said placing her hand over his.

"I never wanted to be...I'm just a kid. I didn't want to handle that kind of responsibility yet. They told me that a war was brewing and I had to stop it. Me...just one kid would have to stop a whole army! I feel horrible because I lost my people...and I made someone do my job for me." He lowered his head.

"Ozai is a good man." Katara nodded.

"I owe him big....I owe the world big, don't I?" He asked looking up at her.

"Kind of." She shrugged. She looked at some of the painting on the wall before noticing he was still looking at her, smiling. She raised her eye brow at him, "Why are you looking at me like that?" Aang blinked and took a step back.

Zuko, coming from behind Katara, wrapped his arms around her and kissed a trail from her neck to lips. He grinned when Aang glared at him.

Zuko walked away slowly and looked back at Katara, smiling that smile. She smiled a quick smile, scrunching her nose and curling the ends of her lips and letting them fall.

Katara looked back down to Aang, who was standing there with a blank look on his face.

"Sorry," She breathed out. He nodded and let her guide him to dinner.

Katara walked into their room with a smile on her face. Zuko pulled Katara down onto him. Her dress had slits that allowed her freshly shaved legs come out from under the fabric and strattle him. She placed her hands on his bare chest. He one only his black sleeping pants and his robe the WHOLE day.

"You're so sexy," He growled, his hands trailing from her hips down to her calves.

"Zuko," She whispered, glancing back at the open door.

"Let'em look." He pulled her down and kissed her.

"Zuko, really." She said gesturing to the door.

"Alright, alright." Zuko said rolling out from under her and getting up. She laid down and watched him close the door and walk back to her.

Zuko hovered over her and kissed her. "Gosh," He sighed out, laying on her lightly, only using his arms to keep himself up. He slid his tongue into her mouth and kissed her passionately.

She giggled and broke the kiss. "You're so territorial." She smiled at him.

"He likes you." He kissed her cheek.

"He's like, what, Nine? Ten?"

"Twelve, he's twelve."

"Okay, then, baby, he's freaking twelve!"

"A twelve year old boy going through puberty." He kissed her roughly.

Rating: M

She moaned and gripped his shoulders.

"I never gave you anything for your birthday," He mumbled, his lips brushing against hers.

"Zuko, don't." She warned playfully.

"What are you going to do?" He asked sitting up. "Squeal and call out my name?" He smirked and put her hands above her head and leaned down. She bit her tongue and smiled. "'Cause that's exaclty what I want you to do." She held back a squeal as she felt his lips brush dangerously against hers.

Katara blew out a breath of air. His voice made her shiver and the butterflies in her stomach turned to little fireballs bouncing against her rips. She shook and tried to keep control of her breathing has he focused on her neck.

He let her arms go as he trailed down to her collar bone. He growled through clinched teeth when he felt fabric against his tongue instead of skin. He looked up at her. She arched her back and let him untie the back strings of her dress. Zuko slid her dress from her. Bra-less and beautiful. He smiled and leaned back down to kiss her again, roughly. He eased out of it and trailed back down to her collar bone. He went lower to the valley between her breasts. She took in a deep breath and bit her lip, her fingers tangling in his hair.

He went down and placed feather light kisses all over her stomach. The only thing left to go were her underwear. He looked up at her. He saw how flushed she looked and he watched her gulp. He covered her mouth with his and held it for a long, easy kiss.

He pulled back quickly and heard a small breath escape from her lips. He smiled and hooked a finger underneath the side of her underwear. Obviously, she didn't mind the idea of this too much, seeing that she had a clean slate for him to work on.

He leaned down and flicked his tongue on her. She gasped and her breath was hitched in her throat. He rubbed his tongue slowly against her softest skin. She tangled her fingers into his hair again and widened her legs. She let a out a sqeal when he continuted to flick his tounge against her.

Zuko pressed his lips against her and sucked on her clit. "Lower," He heard the word barely manage to escape through her moans. He left the spot he was in and licked lightly over her opening. His tongue circled around it before dipping into it.

She tasted so sweet, but sour at the same time. He loved the smooth texture of her, too. She was addicting. She was a drug to him and doing this was only a gateway to the real thing. To be honest, he couldn't wait. He didn't want to. He couldn't stand feeling himself throb with want and not being able to get it. He was a prince. He didn't have to be patient. He got what ever he wanted when he wanted. But, he would wait.

The world spun around theirs as Katara's ears were plugged with the sound of her heart beating and Zuko's were clogged with her moans and the sound of his name being called. His hands held her hips down as he concentrated on her silky insides. He warmed his mouth and tongue, running his tongue over her.

He stopped for second when he felt her knees buckle and her muscles twitch. He dipped his tongue through the pile of juices. He continued until there were no more. He came up to a panting and tired girlfriend.

She gave him a begging look. "You don't want to stop, do you?" He asked. She sighed out before shaking her head.

"Not really, but...I don't know." She said placing her arms over her stomach. "I'm scared."

"Well," Zuko breathed out. "I'm scared, too." He said taking her hand in his.

"Do...you want to?"

"Only if you do." Katara gulped and thought before slightly nodding her head. Zuko crawled over to the head of the bed and leaned his back against the headboard. Katara slipped his pants off and discarded them to...someplace in the covers. He grabbed her hips to hold her steady has she hovered over his erection.

She placed her hands on his shoulders and took a deep breath. She nodded and he slowly lowered her. She was fine until he was almost at his line. Her finger nails dug into his skin and he stopped. She clinched her eyes shut.

"Do you want to stop?" He asked.

"No," She breathed out, shaking her head. He continued once her grip loosened. She rested her head on his shoulder. Her nails dug into the skin of his back again and he stopped and waited. He had already passed her hymen and didn't have much left to go. Even though her nails were still digging into him, he slid the rest of his member into her. She let out a small squeak and her grip loosened entirely.

"Are you okay?"

"Mhm." She nodded, kissing him fully on his lips.

He smiled and kissed her behind her ear, beginning to pump himself in and out of her.

After a few minuets and a speed up Katara's moans were becoming louder than Zuko liked them to be. He kissed her long and hard to shut her up. Of course, really he didn't mind her being loud. He didn't mind it at all. He remembered back when he was a senior at the junior high school. That's when all of his friends would gloat and brag about how loud their girls would be or how they complemented their size. Well, they had just been owned. :]

Zuko broke their kiss and panted. He swallowed hard and brought her close to him. Katara arched her back, moaning as she ran her fingers through his hair as she felt his member twitch forward and release his warms fluids deep into her. She gasped as she felt her muscles contract around him. Zuko leaned back hard against the headboard. He gulped and caught his breath. He rubbed her legs and studied her in his daze. All he could feel was her wrapped around him tightly allowing only a few, warm droplets of liquid around him.

----

A loud breath escaped her lips, causing him to snap from his daze. He looked up at her and smiled. She let out a small laugh and she kissed him. Katara grabbed his arms and smiled. He smiled back and rested his head on the headboard, letting his eyes close.

Katara laid down, pulling him down with her. She pulled the covers over them and closed her eyes for a good nights rest.

After taking a shower and dressing Katara went to breakfast, letting Zuko rest. She joined the table with a smile on her face, starving.

Aang gaze at her glowing beauty. Aang thought she was glowing because she always had, but Sokka had seen that look before and he knew what it was from. He couldn't say he was happy about it, but he couldn't say he was angry either.

"We should be in the Northern Waters tonight, Katara." A Midshipmen informed. She nodded her head and thanked him.

Dans la Nation du Feu

Ursa and Ozai were walking to their room after that dinner when the Fire Lord stumbled. Ursa caught him before he fell and helped him steady.

"Ozai, dear, are you alright?" She asked, studying him.

"Uh, yes." He nodded. "Yes, I'm fine." He said standing up straight.

"Sweetheart, you don't look too well. You don't look well at all." She said rubbing his back. His face was pale and his eyes were dull.

"Ugh." He said almost falling backwards. He whipped the bead of sweat from his forehead. "It's just been a stressful weak is all, dear." He said giving her a smile, reassuring smile.

Ursa shook her head at his foolishness and helped him into their bed. She pretended to believe him and attempted to sleep peacefully by his side.

----

"How did you sleep?" Ursa asked the next morning.

"I didn't. Not much anyways." He mumbled.

"Would you like some Valerian? You deserve a day off."

"Yeah," He whispered obviously in some sort of pain.

Ursa nodded and brought him the Valerian and some Echinacea.

She sat next to him and placed a cool cloth on his forehead and rubbed his shoulder.

Well, was it worth the wait?

I might only be uploading on Sunday's. I don't know.

Trivia:

Valerian: Plant that is a remedy for insomnia. (not being able to sleep)

Echinacea: Plant that is supposed to give a boost to your immune system....but can also cause abdominal pain, nausea, and dizziness...and WHOLE bunch of other things, but they won't show up later.

OH NOES! what is with the happening to the fire lord!? Just so you know, no, I do not have some kind of issue with killing him off like some people will kill Zuko repeatedly. I love them both and they shall stay :]
