Me: Wheeeeeeeeee! Hello ppl! Sokka and I come with a story!!! That Sokka actually helped me write!

Sokka: *blushes* Just one part.

Me: Well, as you may have guessed from knowing me, it is a slash story!!

Sokka: Yep! She's obsessed! Right, Z?

Zuko: Hmm? Oh yeah, right. She's obsessed!

Me: Oh, hush you two! You know you enjoy it or else you wouldn't be here!

Sokka: She's got us there.

Zuko: That she does. But hey. I can't help it if I like screw-

Sokka: *slaps hand over his mouth* Shhh!

Zuko: Mph!!

Me: Zuko! Watch your language!

Zuko: *bites Sokka's hand* Ok, fine!

Sokka: Ow! Ooooh, kinky, baby! *grins*

Zuko: Shut up!

Me: *laughs* Well anyways, enough of this. Now on to the story!

The Banished Fire Prince smiled to himself as he looked out on the horizon. He had a perfect plan to lure the Avatar into his grasp. He had captured the Water Tribe boy's oldest friend. Zuko had run into her at a market in an Earth village. He was dressed in regular clothes so as not to draw attention to himself. He had a hooded coat on with the hood pulled up over his head to hide his face. Zuko wasn't in the mood for destruction and he didn't want the people in village to start freaking out because he was there. He had literally knocked the girl, Kitaah, off her feet, but by accident. Zuko was already quite bored at that point so he turned on the old charm and started talking to her. Lately, the men on his ship had started to think he was..well..not interested in the opposite sex. And, truth be told, he wasn't. But he couldn't let his men know that. So, when he saw Kitaah, he saw an opportunity. An opportunity to impress his men and make them think he was interested in girls. Even though she was Water Tribe and lower class, he was getting desperate to prove his sexuality. So he chatted her up, because let's face it, although he wasn't interested in girls he did know when one was beautiful or not, and she certainly was. Zuko led her into a small teashop, lit only by candles. He flirted with her and talked away, knowing the whole time two of his men, who were guarding the door, were watching and listening in. Kitaah was charmed by him and not even the tad bit suspicious about anything. About ten minutes into the conversation Zuko asked Kitaah what she, a Water Tribe girl, was doing in an Earth village.

~Flashback~

"Well, I'm looking for an old friend of mine. We were best friends back when we were kids. His name's Sokka. He's really funny and pretty goofy. I miss him a lot." She replied.

Zuko's ears perked up at the name. Sokka, where had he heard that before? And them it hit him. That was that idiot Water Tribe boy that was with the Avatar!

"Sokka? Really. He wouldn't happen to have a sister named Katara would he?" Zuko questioned.

"Yes!! Do you know them?" She looked hopeful.

"Yes, actually I do. They are…acquaintances of mine. And I think I know their next stop on their journey. Would you like to come with me? I could drop you off with them."

"Oh no! I could never ask that of you!"

"I'm not asking. I'm insisting. Please? I will be doing a favor to Sokka and to you."

"Would you really do that for me?" Kataah was a little reluctant to accept his offer.

"Of Course! Now come on! Off to the ship! We better hurry if we want to catch up!"

"Oh I can never thank you enough!"

"No need to thank me. Now come on."

Zuko grabbed her arm and dragged her off to the dock where his ship was. Upon seeing the huge metal ship, Kitaah knew she was in trouble and she tried to escape. She attempted to pull her arm free but Zuko was stronger and pinned her arms behind her back.

"You there! Take this prisoner to the holding cell!" Zuko yelled to a near by guard, throwing Kitaah at him.

"Yes, sir. Right away." The guard bowed and pulled her on to the ship.

~End Flashback~

Zuko was extremely pleased with himself. He had just sent a note to the boy, explaining the situation. He knew the idiot would want to go by himself but the girl and the Avatar wouldn't allow it. As soon as the Avatar landed on his ship, Zuko would catch him in a net dropped from above. Once he captured the Avatar, Zuko would take him to his father and finally take his place in his kingdom.

Now that his plan was in motion, the prince could relax. He collapsed on his bed and allowed his mind to wander. His thoughts drifted toward the Water Tribe boy. He admitted to himself that the teen was very attractive. His tan skin and warrior's body had Zuko drooling on more than one occasion. Fighting with him was so erotic. Zuko shivered at the thought of their bodies pressed together, covered in sweat. He felt a stirring below his belt and let his hand slide down to stroke his erection. Maybe his father would let him keep the boy as a reward for capturing the Avatar. The prince grinned and gave himself over to his needs.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sokka was lying on his back staring at the blue sky. So many different emotions were flying through his head. And they were all about a certain banished prince. Sokka was confused as to how he felt about Zuko. He thought he hated the Firebender but there were new emotions stirring about him. Sokka knew he was very handsome, but he was a Firebender! Not to mention he was trying to capture Sokka's best friend. But he just couldn't push aside the possibility of liking the Prince, as much as he wanted to. He was attractive and brave and strong and an excellent warrior. But he was also cruel and ruthless. He would stop at nothing to capture Aang even if it meant sacrificing innocent lives. But, he had saved Aang not too long ago. And that puzzled the young Watertribe boy. Maybe, the Prince wasn't all bad. Maybe, he did have a heart. Sokka sighed. All these maybes were hurting his head. His stomach rumbled. And he was hungry.

"Kataraaa!" He whined, "I'm hungry!"

"What else is new? You're always hungry, Sokka. But don't worry, we're stopping for supplies shortly." Katara said.

"Thank the gods! I'm starving!" Sokka, satisfied that he would soon be eating, went back to his musings. He summoned the Prince's face from his memories. Those golden eyes and that scar. That scar that Sokka's fingers longed to trace.

"Okay. It's official. I like him. Great!" Sokka said in his head.

"Now what am I going to do?" He mumbled out loud.

"What did you say, Sokka?" Katara asked.

"Hmm? Oh, nothing. Just talking to myself." Sokka said distractedly.

"I heard that talking to yourself is a sign that you're crazy!" Aang said happily.

"Shut up, Aang. I'm not crazy! I'm just thinking." Sokka snapped at his friend.

"Suuure! That's what you say now! But later you'll be having conversations with rocks and singing songs about flying pigs!" Aang quipped.

Sokka opened his mouth to reply but was interrupted by something landing in front of him. He looked up at the sky and there was a large bird circling above. After dropping its parcel, it flew off. Sokka picked the thing up and turned it over in his hands. It was an envelope. It was sealed with the Firenation emblem in wax. On the front, in neat, delicate handwriting, was written "Sokka". Sokka stared at it nervously.

"Well, open it, Sokka." Aang said, getting impatient.

"Hold on a minute. Do you really think it's safe? If it has the Firenation seal on it then it can't be good." Katara said.

Sokka considered the possibilities and decide to open it, since it was only an envelope, and couldn't do too much harm. He carefully tore it open and pulled out the letter that was inside. It read, in dark red ink:

"Dear Sokka,

I have something of yours that I'm quite sure you will want back. It's a girl, by the name of Kitaah."

Sokka gasped and dropped the letter. He quickly picked it up and kept reading.

"Yes, that's right. I have your friend. And if you ever want to see her again, report to my ship tonight at seven, which will be stationed ten miles from at the dock on Kiminto Island. See you soon.

Yours truly,

Prince Zuko"

"That dirty bastard! He has Kitaah!" Sokka growled. All emotions for the Prince, accept hatred, had flown from his body.

Katara gasped. "Kitaah? As in your best friend Kitaah?" she questioned.

"The very same. And if I want to see her again I have to go to Zuko's ship tonight at seven!"

"Well then, we're coming with you!" Aang exclaimed.

"No! That's just what he wants. This is a trap for you, Aang! You can't come! I must do this alone!" Sokka said.

"Oh, Sokka, you can't! He'll hurt you!" Katara cried.

"Are you saying I can't handle myself against him?" Sokka asked, offended.

"No! But he has so many soldiers! You can't fight all of them. You have to take me as back up!" Aang argued.

"No! I will not put you in danger. You will stay here. That's final!"

"But-" Aang started.

"No. He's right Aang. We can't put you in danger. So I'm going." Katara said triumphantly.

"Katara, no. You can't. You have to stay here with Aang. This is something I have to do alone. Please, guys, I have to do this. You just have to trust me."

Katara sighed and nodded her head. She knew Sokka deserved this chance to prove himself. He had been working so hard on becoming a better fighter. They gave him so little credit, but he really was a great warrior. "But not good enough." She thought to herself. She knew he was going to lose but she couldn't argue with him, so she had to give in. They would just have to go rescue him.

"Thank you, Katara." Sokka said, hugging his sister.

After their conversation, time sped by fast. They landed on Kiminto Island, made camp, and before Sokka knew it, it was quarter to seven.

"Okay guys. I have to go. But you both have to promise me something before I do." Sokka said to Katara and Aang. He has a serious look on his face and Katara already knew what he was going to say.

"No, Sokka! I will not leave you behind!" Katara cried.

"Katara, you have to! If I don't come back in an hour then you can't come for me. You have to leave in the morning."

"No way, Sokka!" Aang said.

"Yes, Aang. You have to. Katara, promise me. Promise me, for Mother?" Sokka begged. That was the dagger straight through her heart. Their mother. Sokka know that would get her.

"I promise." Katara said, crying.

"Thank you." He said, pulling his sister to him. She laid her head on his shoulder and cried. She knew she would never see her brother again after tonight.

"What? NO! Katara! You can't be serious!" Aang exclaimed. Katara nodded.

"Aang, you have to listen to me. Sokka's a big boy. He'll be fine."

Aang knew he couldn't win so he gave in.

"Fine. But I don't like it." He said.

"I'll be back, I promise. But if I'm not you have to leave without me. You promised."

Katara and Aang agreed. Sokka pulled them both to him in a hug.

"I love you guys. Be strong. Good bye." Sokka said and jumped on Appa.

"Appa! Yip yip!" he called. Appa took off into the air. Katara and Aang waved to Sokka as he flew off. Katara watched the sky until she could no longer see Appa's giant form. She crawled into her sleeping bag and cried herself to sleep.
