(kana)

You awoke to the sunrise, much earlier than everyone else in your house. Something about mornings always made you want to firebend. You dressed in a short red skirt with black trim and a strapless red top that ended at the bottom of your ribs. You left a note for your parents saying where you'll be, though they probably could have guessed.

You had decided to go to the clearing, under the cherry blossom tree so you could meditate in the soft morning sun. You grabbed four vanilla scented candles, and then began your walk to the clearing.

While you walked you absently sang a lullaby that you remembered your mother sang to you when you were little.

The site you found at the clearing shocked you. You dropped all the candles and gasped with fear. You hesitated a few moments. On the ground, bloody and badly beaten was the boy with the scar.

'I have to help him' you thought once you were out of shock.

You rushed to the boy and fell to his side. You checked his pulse, it was strong but he was still in bad shape. He would need a lot of recovery time and his wounds would need to be cleaned before they get infected.

'I wont be able to get him to my house with his armor on...i might not be able to lift him with it off' you thought. Regardless you carefully took the boy's armor off. It was so freaking heavy. It made you wonder how he walked around with that stuff on. Then again you did notice how muscular he is.

You put the boy's arm around your neck and half carried half dragged the mysterious boy back to your house. It's not that he's that heavy, you're just not that strong, though you are a wonderful fighter. Plus he's a good few inches taller than you.

As you neared the house, you were relived to find that your mother was outside.

"Mom!" you called. She looked over and gasped when she saw you. "Help he's hurt really bad" you said frantically. Your mom ran over to you and the boy. He's still out cold.

"What happened to him" she asked.

'I don't know, i found him like this in the clearing" you replied.

She helped you carry the mysterious boy into the house and lay him carefully on your bed.

"I'll go get a bowl of water and rag" your mother said as she walked out of the room.

You took the boy's shirt off him because it was covered in fresh and drying blood. You decided to burn it because there no way the blood stains will come out of it, besides he can wear one of Daisuke's shirts once he's all cleaned up.

You looked at the boy's wounds. There was a few scratches and cuts on his face. His arms weren't to bad, but theirs a small gash on his chest; your best guess is that it's where the armor punctured his skin. He had so many bruises, most of them didn't look to bad, but one large bruise under his eye did look bad.

Your mother returned with the water. "I assume you'll take care of him" she asked in a soft motherly voice. You nodded. "Dad, Daisuke and Kaito are awake, we're going to have breakfast soon" she said.

"Do you mind if i eat after I'm done cleaning his wounds?" you asked, you've seen infected wounds before and you wanted to clean his before that could happen.

"Of course" she said with a smile, and then she walked out of the room.

You heated the warm so it was warm, then you soaked the rag in it. You cleaned the gash on his chest first, because it was by far the worst of his injuries. You couldn't help but notice how muscular he is. Anyway, you cleaned and wrapped all of his wounds. You couldn't do a very good job of wrapping the one on his chest because every time you tried to sit him up he would fall back down. You decided you would do a better job once he's awake.

'I wish he would wake up, i really want to talk to him' you thought. As you stood up, pulled a blanket over the boy and left the room.

You walked into the kitchen to find that your family was sitting around the table talking. Also that your mother had left a full plate for you and some tea.

"Thanks mom" you said as you reheated your food and tea with your bending.

"No problem, how's your little patient?" she asked almost as if she was suppressing a giggle.

You ignored her tone and replied, "his injuries are very minor except for one gash but he still hasn't woken up yet." You yawned. It only late morning and you're ready to go back to bed. Not that you could, the boy is sleeping on your bed. You began to eat.

"So your brothers tell us that you have a crush on that mysterious young man," your dad said joking with his arms crossed.

You dropped your fork as your eyes widened. Then you glared at your brothers, daisuke tried to hide from your gaze, but kaito was just smiling brightly and waving. Your father grinned childishly.

"Oh leave her" you mother scolded the three 'men'.

You smiled and continued to eat. Afterwards you decided to make some tea for the mysterious boy. While you heated the water, you turned to daisuke. "Can our guest barrow one of your shirt his was all bloody" you explained.

"Sure "daisuke said, then walked off to get a shirt.

"Here" kaito said as he put a cold bag into your hands. "Ice for when he wakes up, that guy must be in a lot of pain".

"Thanks" you said with a smile. You put the pot of tea, a cup, the bag of ice and the shirt from daisuke on a tray and walked to your room.

(zuko)

"What happened?" you said out loud as you put your hand on your face, you tried to sit up but your winced in pain.

"Oh your up" you beautiful voice said. "Here let me help you".

You looked up to see Kana. She put down the tray she was holding, and then she wrapped her arms around you to help you sit up. You blushed a deep red, because of how close she is to you. You couldn't help but notice how much skin her outfit revealed. Girls in the fire nation don't dress like that.

'She smells nice, kind of like vanilla' you thought absently. He wondered if her hair is soft.

Kana let go of you and brought a chair over to your bedside, so she could sit near you. You frowned slightly, something about her made you want to be close to her.

"I'm kana," she said, but of course you knew that already. "what's your name?"

"Zuko" you replied. You conveniently left out the prince part. Usually you like to let people know of your status but you just wanted her to like you for you.

"Well zuko would you like some tea?" kana asked with a smile.

'Her smile is pretty' you thought absently. You didn't want to be rude so you nodded a 'yes'. Kana poured you some tea. You tried to move your right arm to grab the cup but you winced in pain from the rather large bruise on your shoulder. Kana looked at you with concern in her eyes. You grabbed the cup with your left hand, so you wouldn't have to bother with your right arm.

"Here" kana said as she grabbed what you guessed was a bag of ice. "This should help" she said as she sat on the side of the bed and held the bag of ice to your bruised shoulder. This caused you to blush an even deeper shade of red. She didn't even notice that her leg was against your arms and that she was slightly leaning over you.

"Does that feel any better" kana asked hopefully.

"Much better" you replied as you attempted to hide your red face.
