Chapter 8

Katara was becoming more and more restless as the days passed. She wanted to be go home and be with Haku. She missed him more and more everyday. Zuko wasn't being much help. Yes, he loved Haku, but he was only with him for a few weeks. He wasn't as connected to him as Katara was, but she never told him that.

She knew he missed him just as much as she did. Sometimes the feeling of being with Zuko now was so overwhelming that she couldn't be in the same room with him. She still got paranoid once in awhile. Paranoid that maybe she shouldn't have taken him back so soon, but then she remember how much she loved him. How gorgeous he was... Even her body betrayed her.

All those years of running and fighting did him justice. Katara found herself craving him if he was even near her. She always knew he was near her when she felt the familiar tug in her lower naval and his touch would make her shiver.

He knew it too. He basked in it. He loved the affect her had on her. How even through all those years he could still make her tingle and quiver. And she only grew more beautiful as the years passed. He was curvy and a woman now. Not the 15 year old girl he married all those years ago. Motherhood did wonders to her.

He loved her warm caramel skin and her dark, think hair. Her blue eyes that went with her complexion so beautifully. She was the peace to his chaos. He remembered something his Uncle told him awhile ago when he was spiraling downwards after she left. Without balance, there is nothing but chaos. He needed balance. Without balance, he was falling. They needed each other like Yin and Yang. Fire and Ice. Peace and chaos.

Neither still didn't know it yet, but they were destined for each other. They would have found each other no matter what. They were connected in their souls and Haku was the product of it. He was both of them in one. He was a firebender, he was chaos, but inside, he had inner peace. He was calm, like still water. He was the best of two worlds.

Katara missed her little boy more than anything. And she knew Zuko missed him teaching him firebending. Katara was so grateful she had Zuko to teach their son. Zuko was considered one of the best firebenders in the world trained by his father and his Uncle Iroh.

"Penny for your thoughts?" she heard Zuko come into their room and ask.

"I just miss our boy", Katara said sadly. Zuko came up behind her in the chair she was sitting and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. He kissed the side of her head and squeezed her," I know you do. We will see him soon."

"Not soon enough", she huffed and leaned into him. She loved the feeling of his muscular arms around her," Hows your sister?"

"She's fine", Zuko shrugged," Nothing new. She still isn't talking to me."

"Darn", she frowned," It would help if she opened up and told us things that were going on at your fathers."

She heard Zuko suck in a breath," Well Sokka and I were talking and..."

"Sokka and you were talking?" she laughed and looked at him.

"Ha ha", he faked a laugh," Anyways, Sokka and I were talking and we agreed maybe she would open up if someone who used to be really close to her talked to her."

"Yeah", she nodded in agreement," To bad Ty Lee, rest her soul, or Mai aren't here."

"Well maybe you could do it", Zuko's voice went up on octave.

"Excuse me?" Katara ripped out of his arms and stood up, facing him.

"We were just talking and you came up", he told her and shrugged.

"Oh you were just talking?" Katara mocked," The answer is no."

"Katara, hear me out!" he tried and walked over to him," You think I like talking to her? She's my sister. She turned her back on me. But I go and try because it's needed to save the world. Put your hurt and anger aside and be the bigger person."

Katara sucked in a breath through her teeth and exhaled sharply," Fine. I'll think about it."

"Can I do anything to persuade you more?" Zuko smirked at her and sauntered over to her and wrapped his arms around her.

"It wouldn't hurt", she smiled and allowed herself to be pulled towards the bed. Zuko turned her and pushed her down as he kissed her. He pushed her until she was on the pillows. He pushed into her and she moaned at the feeling of him. The only positive thing about not having Haku all the time was Katara and Zuko were able to get closer and closer each day.

He pushed her shirt up and lovingly brushed his hands down her bare chest until he reached her skirt.

"What do you want?" he murmured against her skin.

"You", she whimpered," Now."

He smiled and quickly undid his pants. She pulled them off of him and welcomed the size of him. She could feel the familiar tug in her groin when she saw him. The size of him always made her shiver. He lowered himself onto her and she reveled in the feeling of him being at her entrance.

"You want it now?" Zuko gave her a toothy grin.

"Yes", she begged and arched her back.

"Are you going to do what I asked you to do?" he asked her and her eyes popped open.

"What?" she cocked her head.

"Are you going to talk to her?" Zuko raised his eyebrows.

"No!" Katara yelled, but whimpered when Zuko positioned himself to enter her.

"Do you want it?" he asked her.

"Yes!" she cried.

"Then say you'll do it!" Zuko laughed at her.

"Fine! I'll do it you big bully!" she yelled at him, but then cried out when he pushed into her. She could feel all of him in her and she loved it.

"More", she begged and he thrusted harder. He gripped her shoulders for leverage and buried his face in her neck. She lifted her legs and wrapped them around his waist. She smiled with pleasure of the feeling of him being able to get deeper.

He sat them up all of a sudden so he was leaning on his calves and she wrapped her arms around him grinding her groin into his.

She relished in the feeling of the sensation building in her.

"I'm almost there", he grunted.

"Just a little bit more", she moaned and started to grind quicker. She would never get tired of making love with him. She loved everything about him. If she had it her way, they would spend all day in bed lavishing each other.

She started to sweat profusely and her breath became eratic as she could feel herself about to come. She yelled out his name in pure ecstasy and he soon followed yelling out her name.

He lowered their bodies onto the bed and panted on top of her, beads of sweat running down his body and pooling into her stomach. He inhaled deeply and sat up on his elbows, resting his forehead against hers.

"I love you", he breathed.

"I love you too", she smiled and kissed him.

"Don't forget our deal", he smirked.

"Ugh", she rolled her eyes," Now you ruined it, get off me."

Zuko laughed and rolled over as she sat up and ran her fingers through her sex hair.

"Azula?" Katara peered into the darkness of the girl's cell for maybe a glimpse of her. She didn't want to be down here. She wanted to run away from here and to never lay eyes on this girl again.

"What do you want?" Azula hissed from inside the darkness," Come to lay eyes on the fallen princess?"

"No", Katara shook her head.

"Torment me? Punish me? Beat me?" Azula listed off," Just get it over with and go away."

"Azula, I have not come here to do any of that", Katara told her slowly and shook her head," Come into the light so I can see you."

"What makes you think I won't firebend you?" Azula snickered.

"If you do, then I will punish you, but only because you attacked me", Katara told her. Katara saw her foot slide into the light and the Azula slowly walked into the light shining through the window of her cell.

Even Katara had to admit she felt bad for the girl. Her hair was stringy and unwashed. Her clothes were torn and matted, caked with dried blood. Her face was red and blotchy, covered in scratches. The girl was skin and bones and had fresh bruises on her arms.

"Did the guards do this to you?" Katara walked closer to the cell and Azula backed away.

"What difference does it make?" Azula spat," It's not going to set me free."

"You wouldn't be in here if you made the right choices", Katara reprimanded her.

"What are you doing here?" Azula bit out," It's bad enough I have to talk to Zuko, but I don't want to talk with you."

"Well I'm down here because you won't talk to Zuko", Katara told her," If you just gave him the information he wanted, he wouldn't be down here talking to you."

"Please", Azula rolled her eyes," He loves coming down here. He hopes to find some good in me and make me a better person. What? Are you going to do the same?"

"No", Katara shook her head," It took me a lot to forgive your brother. I still am. But I knew he had good in him. You're just rotten to the core. You're dead Azula. Your heart is cold. You can't save someone who's already dead."

Azula tried not to be affected my Katara's words, but was having a hard time. Her sanity was fleeting with every passing minute being locked away in this cell. Azula crouched on the floor and hugged her knees," Leave me alone."

"No!" Katara told her," I want information. What is Ozai planning? When is he going to attack?"

"Why would I tell you?" Azula looked up crying, her tears making paths on her dirty cheeks," After everything you just said to me, why would I help you?"

"What do you want?" Katara offered, hoping it would get her somewhere.

"What do I want?" Azula repeated," What do you think I want you dumb cow! I want to get out of this hell hole! I want to be clean, fed, and sleeping in a bed!"

"Azula, you can't be trusted", Katara shook her head," If we let you out, you're going to try to sneak away or worse, kill us."

"Then you are out of options", Azula told her and started to walk back into the darkness of her cell," Because you will have to kill me before I talk."

Katara sighed and ran her hand through her hair, closing her eyes. She didn't want to let that snake out, but what choice did she have? What choice did any of them have? They were no closer to defeating Ozai than they were a month ago. She had no other choice, but it was a choice that made her sick.

"Fine."

So there it was! Hope you liked it. I'm going over a friends house tomorrow and all we ever do there is just sit on our computers and geek out so maybe I will post another chapter! We shall see :)

TheEmoVanity: You're right about Azula. I'm going to see if I decide to make her into a better person, but who knows. I just decide as I go. And I haven't decided about Mai yet. Right now she's just kind of running wild. Maybe I will bring her in later.

stordec23: I'm glad I always make your days when I post new chapters :)
