During an eclipse, Fire and Water benders have certain uncontrollable needs. Katara leaves the gang of the day to be by herself, and Zuko does the same with his Uncle, who also has the problem. Who knew, however, that Katara and Zuko would seek refuge in the same place?

This is just a crazy, one-shot lemon, where the only warnings are language, violence and obviously lemon!! Hope you enjoy, and it doesn't follow the same story plot as the show with what an eclipse means…

"I'll meet up with you guys tomorrow," Katara waved as she made her way to the small city they had passed the previous day.

"Bye Katara," Aang and Sokka waved back and left with Appa and Momo to their destination. Katara walked up the dirt path and wondered how she would survive the night. It was an eclipse, when the moon and sun became one. At this point in the day, she knew that her body would no longer be controlled by her mind, and it would want to go off and basically, get fucked. She shuddered at the thought. While everyone else was enjoying the solar eclipse, she was going to be off by herself in a gyrating puddle of sexual fantasies. 'Gyrating puddle of sexual fantasies,' she repeated to herself. 'But who am I going to think about?' Her first choice was Aang, but then she slapped herself in the face, that was just gross. She couldn't think about Sokka, he was her brother. Maybe Jet? He was slightly good looking, though not her type, he was too egotistical. At the thought of this word, egotistical, her mind took a mental snapshot of Prince Zuko. She stopped her trudging and thought about him. Though he had a fabulous body, he was her sworn enemy, and a huge prick on top of it. No, she didn't know who her mind would think of tonight, but all she did know was it couldn't possibly be, Zuko.

Meanwhile

"Uncle, you go to the city ahead, and I will go to the city that is behind us. I am younger and will be able to make the walk without much difficulty," Zuko had his bag around his shoulder and was prepared to leave when Iroh wanted to give his last warning.

"Dear nephew, you must promise me that you will spend tonight alone. As a male, you are worse off during the solar eclipse. Many girls might be attracted to you, but you must be alone."

"I know Uncle, this is not the first solar eclipse I've lived through," he scoffed.

"No, but it is the first one you are outside the Fire Nation. You will not have anybody helping you. Find a hotel, lock yourself inside your room and stay there until morning. Do you understand?" he looked extremely serious. "Bad things can happen, Prince Zuko. Mistakes can be born," he cast a look sideways. Zuko nodded, and turned to leave, but Iroh grabbed him by the neck. He drove his fist into Zuko's freshly grown hair. "Try and behave, eh?" Iroh laughed, and then went south on the trail, with Zuko heading north. He thought about what his Uncle had said. To stay clear of girls. Hopefully he would get to a hotel before the eclipse. For men especially, eclipses are bad things. Sexual needs, especially Zuko's, were strong and more uncontrollable than female fire and water benders. At the thought of water benders, his mind flashed to the girl traveling with the Avatar. Surely tonight, she would be with the airbender, being pleasured by the bald boy. 'Gross,' he thought. He kept walking, and was thankful to see the city and a hotel were not that far ahead.

"I need a room please," Katara walked into the hotel. "Preferably that suite?" She had accumulated some extra cash, and definitely wanted a room with a nice bathroom and big comfy bed, all to herself. The handsome clerk handed her one of the two keys that hung behind him, and she was happy to see it was on the top floor, away from everybody. She grabbed her duffel, and set up the stairs. Her room was gorgeous. It was a red room, with lovely sheets. She went to inspect the bathroom and was greeted with a white, porcelain toilet, and gigantic bathtub, with gold trim. The walls were a faint blue. 'Dammit,' she thought at the color. 'Blue makes me feel worse.' She decided that she would take a long, hot bath, but when the time of the eclipse would approach, it would be best if she migrated to the bed. Turning the water on, and waiting for it to get hot, she filled it up. She quickly disrobed and extended her toned leg inside. She waded down inside until just her head was above the water. The bathtub even came with a padded headrest. She really got the best room. Letting out a long sigh, she savored these sane moments, for in just a short while, she would be in a state of distress.

"I need the best room," Zuko placed his money on the counter. An ugly, nerdy man with glasses counted it, and then fumbled around for a key. He squinted back at Zuko and handed it to him. He made his way quickly up the stairs, the eclipse was upon him. He reached the landing, and let himself inside the room. His first thought was he hated the red; it would only drive him crazier. The second, was that he heard a faint humming, coming from behind a door that was slightly ajar. Steam was floating out, and he heard water softly splashing. Someone else was here? What the hell?

"Hello?" he called out. He heard a gasp, and heard water smack the tile floor. Then he heard a thud, and a feminine groan. FEMALE? He looked out the window, the eclipse was so close. Whoever she was needed to get out, right away. "I will pay you to please leave," he bellowed. Nothing happened, and then he heard a curse. The door flew open, and there she was. The Water bender, friend of the Avatar. In a robe.

"What the hell is going on? ZUKO?" she gasped. She thought that was his voice, but she wasn't 100. What the hell was he doing here?

"GET OUT!!" They screamed and pointed at the door at the same time.

"You get out…I paid for this room!"

"As did I," she threw her hands on her hips.

"I need to be alone," his voice had a sense of urgency to it, and then she remembered. The Eclipse. Both of them would be in trouble, but because he was a man, he'd be stronger and less in control. She gathered her things and ran towards the door. She had her hand on the lock, but froze. "Well? Go!" he commanded. But she couldn't. If she wasn't locked up, her body would wander the streets and beg random, disgusting men to throw her down and take her. If she stayed, she knew she would beg Zuko. Maybe she could lock him up in the bathroom and make him take a cold shower. A very cold shower. She turned and faced him, he almost looked panicked. He knew what would happen if she stayed, but not if she left.

"I can't go," she half-whispered. "If I'm not locked up, I'll beg townspeople for…" she couldn't say it to him. "You know…" and she made a pleading face.

"If you stay, I will not be able to control…" he too paused, not wanting to say it. "Myself…" he threw his things in the corner. He had to obey what his uncle had said, he needed to be alone. She needed to get out, before he wouldn't allow it. He shuddered; he definitely did not want to do this with her. She was the last person…second last…Azula was the last person he would want to do this with. He glanced out the window, only a few more precious moments of sanity. Her gaze too shifted out the window, and she cursed inside. She would never have enough time to get a refund and find another hotel, and neither would Zuko. She dropped her things.

"We're just gonna have to separate," she said, trying to stay calm. He gave her an incredulous look. "But I have to admit, that neither of us can leave this room."

"I can't just lock myself up in the bathroom!!" he shouted, as if reading her mind. "I know that there is a woman near me and I'm just supposed to ignore that?" he semi-regretted acknowledging the fact that she was a woman.

"Zuko please…try…" she clutched her head. It had begun. She looked at him and saw him swaggering. He was trying to fight it off, but failing. "Go…" she whispered. A single tear rolled down her cheek. Her lower half was filling up with heat and yearning for him. Her head was screaming refusals, but in a minute or two, her head would be overpowered by her primal instincts. He took a step towards her. "NO ZUKO!" she screamed at him. He fell to one knee. His battle within himself consuming him, but he was losing. The eclipse was winning over both of them. Fire erupted from his finger tips, and he clutched his head. This was impossible. He would never be able to resist her. Especially with her in the same state as himself. He needed her. 'NO!!' he mentally yelled at himself. He watched her collapse on her hands and knees. 'She is too weak to resist…TAKE HER!!! …NO!!´ It was like he was having a fight with his lower regions.

Katara crawled over to nightstand and tried to pull herself up. She glanced back at Zuko, but an urge to kiss him blinded her, and she had to shut her eyes. She couldn't see him, but she felt his heat radiating through her body in thick waves. Zuko stumbled to his feet, and stared out the window, wincing. The sun and moon were almost completely one, and when that happened, who knows what would ensue? He lurched for the bathroom door, and tried to pull himself inside and his knees began to buckle. He caught a brief glance at himself in the mirror before all went black. His eyes were no longer their beautiful gold shimmer, but they were dark, and cloudy, covered with lust and despair. His mind had completely escaped him, and the eclipse had taken over the last of his reason. Katara watched in horror, as Zuko straightened up with a sudden strength.

"Zuko?" she breathed his name in a whisper. He whipped around, and his eyes narrowed on her. But they weren't his eyes; they were the black eyes of the solar eclipse. As a female, she had only a few more seconds than the male before changing into a sex-seeking whore. With her water bending skills she pushed him into a wall, but that was it for her. Using the last of her strength to stall him sent her over the edge. Her mind became clouded with lust and could only concentrate on the handsome man standing only a few more feet away from her. She stood and stared at him, sizing him up. He looked down on her in the same fashion. It seemed to be the longest stare ever, but soon enough they ran towards each other and slammed their lips together.

He wrapped his arms around her back and lifted her up, never taking his mouth off of hers. He walked over the dresser and with his hand swept the contents on the floor. He needed her. She ripped at his tunic, and he pulled his arms through letting it fall to the floor. He pushed the robe past her shoulders, lowering his mouth to her right shoulder, biting hard. She lifted her hands up, and removed the cotton material. He pushed her against the mirror, sliding his leg in between hers. Pressing his thigh against her she fumbled with his pants. He grabbed the thin fabric, and ripped her panties from her body. She finally unbuckled his pants, and let them fall to the floor. He pulled her closer and lifted her knee upwards, allowing him all the access in the world.

"Do it now," she hissed in a voice unlike her own. She wrapped her other leg around his waist and he forced himself inside her. She let out a scream at the sensation. He groaned inaudible words, and drove himself into her, making them lose their minds. All that mattered was this insatiable need for his body conjoining with hers. He pushed deeper, and she threw her head back in complete pleasure. He dipped his head to suck on the base of her throat as he rammed himself into her repeatedly. He was close. He quickly moved her from the dresser to the bed and sank into the soft mattress. She clutched his back as she felt his need for release. He squinted his eyes shut as his body shuddered on top of her. She cried out right before he crashed his lips against hers for the last time. Both of them extremely exhausted as the last vibrations of their act flowed through them.

Zuko awoke as the sunlight poured through the window. His head felt as if someone had beaten him to a bloody pulp. 'Wha- -What the hell?' he thought to himself and his whole body ached with an indescribable pain. Then the bed he was on shifted. He sat up and looked at the girl lying next to him. He sat on the edge of the bed, absolutely horrified. He put his head in his head. 'What happened last night? Right before the eclipse…what happened?" He couldn't remember. It was such a blur, and the longer he thought about it, the more his head throbbed. The bed shifted again. He heard her scream and fall off the bed. He smiled ruefully to himself as he felt her pull the covers off the bed and wrap them around her naked body.

"What the hell are you doing here?" she shouted at him, which only made his head ache more. It was then that she remembered what happened. It was the eclipse, and they were both given the same room. They had acted outside of themselves…it wasn't them it was the eclipse. She smoothed out her hair and sat on her edge of the bed. Breathe…just breathe, she kept reiterating inside her head. He stood and threw fire from his hands. She turned to watch. His face looked extremely pissed. She bent the water from the bathtub and extinguished his fists. He looked at her.

"I'm just trying to blow off some steam…let me go," Zuko clutched his chest. Every time he looked at her, his chest tightened. He felt guilty. Sure, there had been solar eclipses before, but let's face facts, she probably never obeyed her body. His father sent him concubines to satisfy his lust, but Katara was probably not given the same luxury. She walked over to him and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"I have to go," she whispered, sweeping herself into the bathroom to change. When she emerged he too was dressed. She smiled weakly at him as she addressed the door. Her hand was on the lock, but Zuko jumped over the bed running up behind her. She innocently turned around, and he placed his lips over hers. 'This is definitely not the eclipse doing this…' she thought. He broke the kiss and rested his forehead against hers, heaving a heavy sigh.

"I know I was probably the last person in the world you wanted to experience that with," he breathed softly. "But I do appreciate you not flipping out at me this morning."

"It was the eclipse," she whispered back, and his golden eyes opened and stared into her blue ones. "It wasn't us, or what we wanted. It was the enchantment of the eclipse that affects water and fire benders." They both bit their respective lips at the same time.

"Yea," he said, pulling away. "It was just the eclipse…" she watched him return to putting his things away.

"But…" she paused to grab his attention. "At least my uh…my first time," she was a little embarrassed to admit that. "At least it was…" she cleared her throat. "Enjoyable…" and she turned and walked out. He smiled to himself, as he packed the last of his things up.

Later

"Did you follow my orders, Prince Zuko? Did you lock yourself up in a hotel room, and not go looking for trouble?" Iroh asked him, when they met up.

"Yes Uncle, I did not leave my room the whole night."

"Very good. I was having most difficultly because the hotel women were very beautiful."

"Uncle, I do not wish to listen to your night."

"Yes…it is rather personal. Well, the next eclipse will not come for much a while from now, which is good no?"

"Yes," Zuko whispered, wondering if the next eclipse that came around would bring as much pleasure as this one did.
