Disclaimer-There it is, i own nothing but my twisted imagination

He smiled that smug smile I hated because it made him look that much more attractive, made me want him that much more. My eyes locked with his and all there was in them was triumph. He thought he had the avatar but not if I had a say in it, and I did. I collected the all of water I had left; not nearly enough to fight of Zuko and his men but enough to let the others escape.

"Give up peasant, you stand no chance against me", he was right and we both new it.

I turned to Aang and whispered softly "like we planned Aang, do it and don't look back."

His eyes looked like they would start to spill tears but he knew what he had to do.

"I'll come back for you Katara, once it is all over." With that he grabbed Toph and Sokka and air bended them away. The last thing I heard was a desperate call of my name from Sokka but we all new deep down that I had to this, only I could. Toph still needed to teach Aang too much and Sokka would never be able to slow Zuko enough.

I heard Zuko shout orders at his men but soon a wall of water stopped them. Zuko looked at me with pure anger and an emotion I couldn't quite place. As soon as it had appeared it was gone leaving me to wonder if I had imagined that flash of… longing? That could be it, couldn't it?

Flames rushing towards my face interrupted my train of thoughts and caused me to quickly drop to the ground. The fight had started. Zukos men surrounded me and I had to rid myself of them to fight Zuko somewhat fairly.

The wall swirled around freezing the men standing there; they didn't stand a chance. I twirled my body around to cover each one of the men entirely. I didn't stop until all my water was finished then I once again let my blue eyes lock with gold.

"Impressive, for a peasant" I tensed at the word peasant. I hated the nickname and he knew it. Just because he was a 'prince' it did not make him any better than everybody else. He was just a jerk, yes, just a jerk.

"You have no water, you can't win" he told me logically.

"You're right" I replied with a smile playing at my lips; I had just thought of the perfect plan to stop him.

"Then why do you bother trying?"

"Because I have to" and with this I ran forward, towards Zuko.

I felt his hands close around my wrists and hold them in place. If he thought that was all then he was in for one heck of a surprise.

I leaned forward until my lips were pressed against his. I saw his eyes widen in shock before he pulled me closer, kissing me back. Slowly and cautiously he released my wrists and let his hands slide to my waist, holding me in his embrace. I wanted him, and he wanted me.

The moment we broke the kiss he smiled and whispering in my ear: "Release my men and come with me peacefully, I think I will keep you."

A/N-Kind of short and a bit crappy but please review anyway, i might add more if readers want me to
