Chapter 5. Ty Lee's Hair pin

Next morning, Zuko slowly woke up when the sun light seep through his window. He started gather his things he needed for his bath at the hot spring. As he walk down the hallway, cannot stop thinking about what Ty Lee said about his feeling towards Mai. He is not even sure himself if he is in love with her the same way she loves him.

"Why am I with Mai anyway?" Zuko said to himself as he entered the changing room. "Maybe because I don't want to break her heart." He continues to talk to himself as he started to remove his clothes and wraps a towel around his waist. He walked out of the changing room and head towards the hot spring as he thought about Ty Lee's question. Zuko was lost in his thoughts as he entered the hot spring. He leaned against rock as he continues to think about Mai. Suddenly a rubber turtle duck flows near him, making him snapped out of his thoughts. "What the?" Zuko stared at the rubber bath toy. He looked around notice that he is not alone in the bath.

Ty Lee's eyes were wide open as she blush deep red when she saw Zuko in the hot spring. "ZUKO!?" She yelled as she stood there naked while the steams of the hot spring cover up her breast and her waist is cover up by the water. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?" Ty Lee crossed her arms to cover her breast.

Jin emerged from water and then she look at Ty Lee. "What wrong!?" She noticed that Ty Lee was blushing like crazy. "Why are you blushing!?" Jin turned around and notices Zuko was in the bath. "AHHHHHHH!" She screamed as she covers her breast. "ZUKO YOU PERVERT!"

Zuko's eyes were widen as he stare at them, but quickly covers his eyes with his hands. "Wait it's a misunderstanding!" he said as he was blushing like crazy. "I…I didn't know anyone here!" Embarrassed and shocked of the situation, he decided to leave before things it get worse. "I'm sorry, I be back when every left!" He quickly turned around, but then he head was now facing Rin's breast.

Rin looked at him as she smile and blush a bit. "Oh, Prince Zuko this is so sudden!" she said as she placed her hands on her cheek and then she closes her eyes. "How embarrassing seeing you looking at me naked body!" She looked away from him. "And I never knew you were a pervert!"

Zuko continued to blush as he looked at Rin. "I'm not a pervert, Rin! I didn't mean to come…" He was cut off when Rin hugged him.

"But remember what I said, Prince Zuko?" She looked down at him and notices that his head was between her breasts but she does not care. "I don't mind showing you my naked body." She playful wink at him, making him blush even more.

Zuko was still blushing as he pulled away from Rin. "For the last time, I'm not a pervert!" He walked out of the bath and heads for the door. Mad and embarrassed about what just happened, the only thing Zuko got in his mind is 'What else could go wrong!?' He reached over to grab the door knob, but then Rei opened the door and walk right into Zuko's hand. Zuko blushed as he felt her breast on his hand and then one thing came to his mind, 'Things got just got a lot worse!'

Rei looked Zuko for a few moments wounding why he is standing there. Then felt something warm on her breast. She looked down and saw Zuko's hand. "AHHH!" She screamed as she quickly pulls away from him and covered her breast. "You're a dead man Zuko!" Rei's right hand burst into flame his she stared at him. She was pissed and embarrassed for what Zuko done to her.

Zuko started to panic when he saw how mad Rei was. "Rei!? I didn't mean to grab your breast!" he waved his hands in front of his body. "You got to believe I really didn't mean to I swear!" He slowly started to walk backwards as Rei approach him. "Please you got to believe me!? I have no interest in your body!"

"WHAT!?" Rei's eyes raging with anger as she yelled at him. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOUR NOT INTERESTED MY BODY!?"

"Wait I didn't mean it like that!" said Zuko. "What I mean is you don't have an interesting body." He just now realized what he just said and now he regret it for saying that to Rei.

"WHAT!?" Rei released a huge fire ball at him, causing him to fly across the other side of the hot spring right through a wall.

Ty Lee quickly walked to the hole and saw Zuko on the ground with a daze looked on his eyes and some burn marks on his body. "You okay!?" said Ty Lee.

Later that day, Zuko returned to the falls to continue his training. As he climbed up the falls, he could feel the Rei glare behind his back as he feel the cold water constantly hitting his body as he climb up. About half way up, Zuko was about to grab a rock until he lost his grip and fell back to the river. He fell down this waterfall all day yesterday, but this one is different. On the way down, Zuko hits some sharp rocks and he hit the water pretty hard. Even though he is badly injured, he still has enough strength to swim to shore.

Ty Lee quickly ran to his side and then knee down next to him. "You okay!?" She took out some band aids from the first-aid kit.

Zuko cough a bit as he lay on the ground. He could feel the cuts on his arms and chest. "Do…I look…okay!?" His breathing was heavy as he spoke.

Ty Lee looked down a bit as she wrapped up Zuko's wounds. "I'm sorry for asking"

Rei walked up them and said, "Hey don't take out your frustration out on her! It's not her fault that you fell and injured." Rei defended Ty Lee.

Zuko sigh a bit as he looked at Rei. He sat right up and rubbed back of his neck as he knew Rei was right. "I'm sorry, Ty Lee." he said as he looked down. "I'm sorry for taking out my frustration on you."

Ty Lee finished wrapping up his wounds and smiled a bit. "It's okay."

Rei sigh then walked back to the bath house. "Get your sword by night fall or don't come back to the bath house!"

Zuko was shocked from Rei's order. "Great this is the last thing I need." He punched the ground.

"Don't worry you'll get it by night fall I just know you can." said Ty Lee.

Zuko looked at her. "And if I don't, I'll spend the night here." He lay back down.

"Then I spend the night here with you then." said Ty Lee as she sat behind Zuko's head. She looked down at him and smiled.

Zuko looked up at her. "Why?"

"Because I want too." She said as she lifted up his head and placed it on her lap.

Zuko was a bit shock from Ty Lee actions. "What are you doing!?"

Ty Lee gently rubbed Zuko's head. "Just letting you rest, that's all." She smiled.

Zuko blushed a bit as he felt the Ty Lee's warm hand on his forehead. "Oh, well I guess I could rest for a few moments."

The two stay near the shore as the sun slowly moved above them. They can feel the gently breeze on there skin. Two birds flew above them before they landed on a nearby tree. This moment reminded Ty Lee when she was little, she and Zuko used to lie on the grass and talk about random things.

Ty Lee looked up at the sky then said, "Do you remember when we were little? We used to lay on the grass in the palace courtyard."

"No." said Zuko.

She looked back down at him. "Aww…come on you got to remember. Every time you got done training with your fire bending, you used my lap as a pillow."

"N-no." Zuko looked away as he started to blush due to the fact that he really remembers using her lap as a pillow.

"Don't lie to me, Zuko." Ty Lee said as she smiled. "Oh remember we used to cheat on each other test during class."

"Yea, I remember that one." Zuko smiled a bit. "But we got caught when the teacher noticed we got the same answers.

Ty Lee giggled a bit. "Oh yea, we got detention for a week."

"Also the race we had when we were little." said Zuko.

"I remember winning those races." Ty Lee nodded her a bit. "You and I also make bets like the loser have to be winner slave for a week, or loser has to buy what ever the winner want.

Zuko sigh a bit. "How can I!? You also made me buy you a dress, or make me clean your room as you make me wear a maid outfit."

Ty Lee laughed as she remembers seeing Zuko wearing a maid outfit with a matching bow on his head. "I also remember that gift you gave me on my twelve birthday."

Zuko looked at her and said, "What gift?"

"You don't remember!?" Ty Lee frown a bit as she reaches inside her pocket and take out a black hair pin with a two small white roses on it. "The hair pin you gave me." See show it to him.

Zuko sat up and stare at the hair pin. "I remember now." He grabbed the hair pin and looked at it. "I also remember the day you left for the circus."

Ty Lee looked down a bit. "Yea, I remember too. Did you miss me?"

Zuko looked at her. "A little."

"A little?" said Ty Lee. "Why a little?"

"Because you left without saying a reason why!" He started to yell a bit.

Ty Lee was shock from his yelling but she knew she deserve it. "I'm sorry Zuko."

"I was looking for you for a week! I was worried about you! I didn't even have a chance to tell you…" Before he finished his sentence, he looked into her eyes then looked away. "Never mind." He got up and walked to the shore. "I'm sorry for yelling at you and ruining our conversation."

"Zuko!?" Ty Lee was wondering why Zuko did not finish his sentence. "Zuko, tell me what!?" she said as watch him walk to the shore.

Zuko ignored Ty Lee as he stares at peck of the waterfall that held his katana. He put his hands inside his pockets. He felt something in his pocket. He pulled it and noticed it was the dagger that his uncle gave him from Ba Sing Se. Zuko stared at his dagger for a few seconds then he got an idea. He swam to the bottom of the waterfall. When he got there, he immediately started to climb up the waterfall. About half way to the table, Zuko lost his grip but, he quickly stabbed his dagger between some rocks. Zuko looked at his dagger hoping it will stay in place as he reached over to grab another rock. He continued to climb up the waterfall until he made it to the top.

Ty Lee smiled as she watched Zuko standing on top of the waterfall. "YAY! YOU DID IT!" She jumped a bit.

Zuko smiled a bit in victory for making it to the top. He walked to his katana and grabbed it. "It's good to have this back!" Zuko looked at it then he walked to the edge waterfall. He stood there as the sun slowly goes down.

Later that evening, Ty Lee was on her bed wide wake. She sighed a bit and walk out of her room. She was walking down the hallway that leads towards Zuko's room, hoping if he's up. She saw lights coming underneath his door. She slowly opened his door to see what Zuko is doing.

Zuko was sitting on his bed, cleaning his katana. He noticed his door was slowly being opened. "Whose there?"

Ty Lee popped her head out the door and smiled. "Just me, Zuzu." She walked in and sat on the edge of his bed. "What are you doing?"

"What does it look like I'm doing?" said Zuko.

"It looks like you cleaning your sword." said Ty Lee as she watched him cleaning his katana.

After Zuko got done cleaning his weapon, he put it back in it's scabbard and place it next to his bed. "What are you doing here?" He stared at her.

She smiled a bit. "I couldn't sleep, so I just came here to see if you're awake."

"Why?" he said.

"To spend time with you. That's all." said Ty Lee.

"Oh." said Zuko as he stared at her. He noticed that Ty Lee is wearing the hair pin he gave her. "So why still have that hair pin?"

Ty Lee removed the hair pin from her hair and gaze at the item. "Because you gave me this on my birthday." She smiled a bit.

"So, what is the point of keeping it?" He looked at her and noticed that Ty Lee looked cute with her hair down.

Ty Lee looked at him and said, "Because it has sentimental value."

"What you mean?" sad Zuko.

"You know that I shared my birthday with my sisters, but I hated it. We always get the same gifts and the same clothing." Ty Lee looked down as she slowly began to cry. "I even stay in my room and no one didn't notice that I was there."

"I remember." said Zuko as he looked back at that day.

xXx

Zuko walked to Ty Lee's room. "Ty Lee why your not outside with you sisters" He noticed that she was crying. "Why are you crying?" He sat at the edge of her bed.

"I'm just tired of this! Tired of getting the same gifts as my sisters! It's like this every year!" said Ty Lee as she cries. "No one didn't even notice that I was gone! No don't care about me!"

"Ty Lee…" Zuko leaned forward and gently wraps his arm around her. "You're wrong." He looked into her eyes as he smiled.

Ty Lee blushed a bit when Zuko hugged her. "Zuzu…" She hugged him back.

"I care about you. The only reason why I came here is to spend time with you." He said as he slowly broke the hug. "Oh and to give you this." He reached over to his pocket and pulled out a small box with a robin. "This is for you." said as he gave it to her. "You're the only that get to have this from the prince."

Ty Lee looked at him and smiled. "Thank you, Zuzu." She opened the box and saw a black hair pin with two roses on it. "Wow! I love it Zuzu." Ty Lee removed the hair pin she got on and replaced it with her new on. "How do I look?" She stared at him.

"You look cute like always." He said with a smile on his face.

Ty Lee blushed then she lean forward and kissed Zuko on his cheek. "Thank you so much. I will always keep this where ever I go."

Zuko touched his cheek as he begun to blush. "Your welcome."

xXx

Zuko looked down a bit. "I remember." He noticed that Ty Lee fell asleep on his bed. "Ty Lee…" he whisper a bit as he place a blanket over her and lay next to her. "I'm glad that you still have the hair pin." He closed his eye and fell asleep.
