Chapter 7

Katara took great satisfaction slamming the door shut on Azula's jail cell. Azula just looked at Katara, one eyebrow raised.

"It's funny..." Azula said quietly.

"What is?" Katara glared.

"How you haven't seemed to change at all", Azula smirked.

"You don't even know me anymore Azzy", Katara smirked when Azula cringed at her nickname.

"Oh please, knowing you, you will probably get this surge of guilt and come down to see me", Azula rolled her eyes," Or your curiosity will get the better of you and you will have to come down and question me about what we have been up to lately or you will wonder if I still love you like my sister; blah blah blah."

Katara just looked at Azula laughing mechanically. Katara brought the water from a bucket of water on the ground and shot it through the bars towards Azula's throat. The force of the water shot Azula back and froze her neck to the wall.

"You're wrong Azula", Katara hissed," I despise you. You are a disgusting, repulsive human being. You are evil and rotten through your core. You have no redeeming qualities. You murdered our mutual best friend. Ty Lee did not deserve to die. You show no remorse and lack human emotions. I am not even sure you are human. You're a machine. All you know how to do is destroy and betray everyone and everything. I have absolutely no damn questions to ask you and as far as I am concerned, I could watch you burn. So no, you don't know me."

Katara melted the water and Azula landed on the ground choking and grabbing her throat. She looked up and watched Katara walk away from her. Azula looked away from where Katara stood and frowned deeply. She was surprised when she saw Zuko... She thought he died awhile ago, but deep down she knew better than that. She knew he could survive. He wasn't one of the greatest fire benders in the world for no reason. Nature's elements were no match for him. What surprised her even more was how Katara's harsh words hurt her feelings... She sighed and picked herself up off the ground, brushing the dirt off of her clothes. She sat down on the mat provided to her in the corner of the cell and plotted how she was going to escape. She was going to be damned if she was going to waste away in this cell.

"How is she?" Aang asked Katara when she walked into the library of the King's palace.

"Fine as could be expected I guess", Katara shrugged and sat down in a chair," We chatted for a minute."

"What did she say?" Zuko asked her," Anything about me?"

Katara shook her head," No. She didn't really say anything. Just some things to provoke me, but I set her in her place."

Zuko nodded and placed his hands on Katara's shoulders to comfort her. He knew how close they once were. They were practically like sisters. Zuko, thanks to his Uncle Iroh, believed that there was always a good in people, even if it was just a smidge. Everyone except his father, however. He knew that if there was any good left in Azula, Katara would be the one to find it. He didn't want to tell her that though. She was already so hurt by Azula.

"So what now Aang?" Katara looked towards the small boy standing by the fire. Zuko was surprised how old Aang looked even though he was still short and was so young. Zuko could just imagine what his Uncle would say," He is a boy born with an old soul." Zuko rolled his eyes at his Uncle's voice in his head. Obviously Zuko told his Uncle's voice He is the Avatar. His soul gets recycled every time he dies.

"I'm not even sure", Aang sighed and rubbed his forehead," I need to clear my head."

He grabbed his staff and flew out the window.

"Where is he going!" Zuko gestured to Aang getting smaller in the distance.

"Probably to the Air Temples", Katara told him," Helps him clear his head. Spiritual things and what not."

"So what do we do now?" Sokka asked," We can't very well leave. Azula is here. We can't leave them her against her."

"Sokka, I think Ba Sing Se's guards are more then capable of containing her", Katara rolled her eyes.

"Katara", Zuko frowned," Wanting to see Haku is clouding your judgement."

"What are you talking about?" Katara yelled and looked up at Zuko.

"Katara, we both know you want to go home and see Haku", Sokka told her," And that's okay... We all want to go home, but you wanted to be in this and now you are. We don't do that job half done. We finish it to the end."

Katara sighed and sat back. She knew they were right. She really did just wanna go home and be with her son and her husband. She was sick of the fighting and the wars. The betrayal and the drama of it all. But she did ask to be a part of this. Deep down she knew it was just because they thought she couldn't. That she was just a stay at home mother who was no use to them. She knew that deep down it was all just about insecurities. She wanted them to know that she could be one of the guy stills.

"I wanna be home with him just as much as you do", Zuko whispered in her ear and hugged her shoulders.

"I'm going to bed", Sokka stood up," I'll see you two in the morning and we will decide what to do from there."

"Let's do the same my love", Zuko offered her his hand. She grasped it he guided them to their room that the Earth King had offered them. Their room was a pale green with white furnishings. He just the door behind him and Katara cracked her neck.

"What a long day", Katara moaned when Zuko walked up behind her and massaged her neck.

"Work got you down?" Zuko joked.

"Just another day", she smiled. She raised her arms and allowed Zuko to pull her shirt off and her pants so she was just in her under wrappings. He pushed her hair out of the way and kissed her neck.

"Mmm", she smiled and turned so she could kiss him.

"I just realized we haven't made love in a few days", Zuko murmured against her lips.

"It's been two days", she laughed.

"Two days to long", he smiled.

"Then why are you still talking?" Katara laughed when Zuko picked her up and threw both of them on the bed in records time. He was on top of her smothering her in kisses and she was relishing every moment. She had two years without having him and their sleeping together two days ago wasn't nearly enough. He already was undoing her clothes and covering her breasts with his mouth.

"Mmm", she arched her back and dug her hands into his hair. She pushed him back and started to pull his shirt off.

"Someones anxious", he smiled as she tossed his shirt aside.

"Shut up and make love to me", she grunted as she started to work on his pants. He more than eagerly got out of his pants and he pushed Katara back onto the bed. She loved the feeling of their skin against each others. His groin pushing against hers. He eased himself in and Katara hissed through her teeth.

"Am I the only one who has done this to you in the past two years?" he asked her just as he was about to enter her.

"Oh, Zuko, put it in me", she begged.

"Answer me", he growled.

"No Zuko", she shook her head," I'm only yours."

He plunged into her deeply and she gasped at how hard he thrusted into her. He was relentless. With every thrust Katara could feel herself building higher and higher. He brought her up onto his lap as he leaned back onto his calves so they were in a sitting position. She wrapped her arms around him as she grinded into him.

"Oh Katara", he groaned," I'm going to come. You need to come for me baby."

"Just a little bit more", Katara moaned and thrusted into him harder. He thrusted harder and finally she could feel herself releasing.

"Oh Zuko!" she yelled and he thrusted harder as he came and yelled out her name as she did with his. He slowly bent them back down and he laid against her, breathing hard, their hearts beating against each other.

"I love you", Katara said and she felt him sigh and hug her tighter.

"Don't ever leave me again", he moaned.

"I promise."

Zuko was quiet for a long time before speaking again," Will you marry me Katara? Again?"

Katara didn't answer him at first and she could feel him holding his breath.

"Of course Zuko", Katara smiled. Her answer was replied with him kissing her.
