i will forever own nothing........

Katara woke-up to darkness surrounding her. She figured it was her igloo. She tried to get out of the bed, but something pulled her back down. Someone's hot breathe on her neck.

"Where do you think you're going?" the voice asked. It sounded eerily familiar.

Then Katara realized how she got here, and who the voice was. She wiggled away, but the person grabbed her waist and pushed her down. She yelped in surprise.

"Please, Zuko, stop….. Just, don't hurt me…." She whispered.

Katara could hear the low chuckle from his throat. The room was dark, so she couldn't see him. For that, she was thankful.

He caressed her cheek. How he had missed the feel of her skin. To his pleasure, he felt her shiver to his touch.

"Now why would I hurt you?" he whispered into her ear. She shrugged. Why had she said that?

"Zuko stop. Where am I?"

"On my ship," he pulled her up to a sitting position, "headed for the fire nation capital."

She blinked, and then felt scared. She hated that place, and he was dragging her back. Her fear dissolved as her anger took over.

"You can't take me there! I demand you let me go!" she yelled, getting off the bed, tripping over her feet in the darkness.

The thud from her fall caused Zuko to light a lamp. On the floor laid Katara. When Zuko went to help her up she whimpered. Afraid he was going to hurt her.

"I see the drug still hasn't worn off." In the light Katara could see him. He looked quite handsome now that he was older. His hair was short and shaggy. Like the way she left it. He was taller and his shoulders broader. His muscles looked bigger, and menacing. He reached for her wrist and pulled her into his lap.

Katara had grown up a lot too. Her hair was in its usual braid, and she was wearing her blue dress. She had grown more womanly too, her chest bigger, showing more cleavage. She had a lovely figure now that she was older. She noticed the Fire Lord looking her over.

She blushed and looked down.

All of a sudden, she was cold. She started shivering uncontrollably, her hands trembling in her lap.

Zuko's touch was cold to her too. He looked at her, a puzzled expression on his face. When he touched her, she would start to tremble even more.

Automatically, he reached for her fore-head. She was burning up. The drug, he thought.

Katara couldn't understand why it was so cold in here, especially on a ship full of firebenders.

Zuko placed her on the bed, and ran to the washroom, drawing a bath for her. If she was a healer, maybe she could heal her self of the drug.

When he came back for her, she was still shivering, and was now slipping in and out of consciousness. Katara couldn't understand what was happening.

Zuko carful picked her up his arms, carrying her towards the bath. The water was deep enough for her. He gently put her down in it. Not caring she was still clothed. She would just have to borrow one of his robes.

When she was put in the water she had no idea what to do now. She looked at Zuko for a reason she was in here.

"Heal yourself." He whispered. She nodded and began to heal herself.

The water glowed blue and she could feel the drug slowly leave her system. Now it wasn't so cold anymore. But now, she was also soaked.

She stood up in the tub, looking down at her dress. It was singed at the edges, and soaked. It was also torn a bit. She wondered what really happened while she was unconscious.

Katara looked at Zuko, "What am I supposed to wear?" she asked.

"Oh, I forgot." He got up and ran into the other room. He came back moments later, a red robe in his hands. He tossed it to her.

"Do you mind?"

"Oh, right, sorry." He left the room, closing the door behind him.

Katara stripped herself of the blue dress and pulled on the red robe. It didn't close all the way, but she didn't care. She threw the blue dress in the trash. Now what am I to do, she thought to her self. She looked around the room for an escape.

There were no windows. But the sink looked promising. One night when Zuko sleeps, I'll break the lock, she thought.

She made her way backed to the room. Zuko lay on the bed, looking at her with his eyes wide. The red looked beautiful on her. She would be wearing lots more red.

He got up and crossed the room, closing the gap between them.

"How do you feel?"

"Tired" she yawned.

He chuckled, "Then let us go to bed."

He grabbed her waist and pulled her towards the bed. She wanted to stop and run, but she was too exhausted. She would need rest for her escape.

He pulled her down next to him. Holding her middle, to make sure she did not get away.

He blew out the lamp.

"Goodnight my waterbender" he purred into her ear. But she was already fast asleep. He smirked at her. After searching for her, she was now his. He would marry her.

now some of you must be thinking "what the hell sarah? katara hates him!" and you're right...she does right now...but she does still love him, she just doesn't want to admit it........
