Make a Zutarian Fic!

[Mashnii]

"Fine." She let out a sigh of exasperation, and holding the bird on her lap, dipped her hand in water.
"Why can't you just heal it?" he demanded, glaring at her.
"I need water." His eyes fled from her out of embarrassment, and, turning around, said, "Fine, whatever. Just do it." He crossed his hands behind his back, and in seeing this, the watebender gently placed her hand on the bird's foot. Immediately, her hand began to glow, as did the foot, and, letting it go, it chirped brightly and lept onto the Fire Prince's shoulder.
"Thank you," he said, still facing the other direction. His voice seemed grateful, and soft, yet somewhat ashamed. "For fixing my pet." She stood up, slowly and cautiosly, replying,
"Don't mention it." She brushed her hands against her skirt, eventually staring at the tall figure. "So, um, can I go back now?"

Okay, so, I'd like to make a rule, if I may. That before you add to the story you post: "Story in Progress" or something so no one posts at the same time. This was used when writing the Creation's COTL and it worked really well.

[Mashnii]

'Kay! I'll remember to do that!

By the way, am I getting hate-notes from my fellow Kataang shippers? I mean, I just wanted to try something different...

[storybookgirl]

I don't see why you would. I was thinking about starting a "Make a Kataang Fic" thread, actually. Even though I'm not Kataang. Unless someone else wants to start it.

[Mashnii]

Cool! Well, shall we continue? I suggest you do. I don't wanna decide what Zuko says!

[thiylan]

Masphipfaeri, I don't mean to criticize or anything, but the bird that was being talked about by previous people was the ostrich-thing that Zuko stole from Song. I'm not sure if it could stand on Zuko's shoulder with out hurting him. ;D Would be cool if it could though.

[Mashnii]

Ha! I was thinkin' about that! ;D Oh, well...stupid me...

Okay, can we, well, y'know, continue?

[thiylan]

That would be good, wouldn't it, Mr. Darcy (look at sig) anyways...

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

Zuko looked at her for several seconds before anwering, "Tomorrow you may."

Katara's anger flared and she stood up with a growl, "What do you mean tomorrow! Why can't I go back now! You said I could!"

Zuko smirked, "Are you scared of being away from that loud-mouthed brother of yours?"

Katara returned his smirk, "No, I'm disgusted to stay with you for one more minute." She stepped a few feet away from him, her back facing him. "I can't believe that that bird even likes a spoiled prince like you."

"And I can't believe that the Avatar likes a worthless little peasant like you!" Zuko shot back. A small flame ignited on his hand, fueled by his anger and humiliation. "Why don't you just go away right now? Go back to the Avatar. See if I care. If you're disgusted to be around me, I'm humilated to be within a two-mile radius of you!" Zuko turned harshly and stomped away from her, pulling his bird-thing along with him. How dare that peasant call him a spoiled prince.

[Mashnii]

"Well, FINE!!!" She thrust her fists back, storming off. "By the way, I'm not a peasant! My name is Katara!" She continued to stalk away, but as she soon disappeared into the trees, Zuko's brow furrowed. His jaw began to ache from pressure, but he ignored it. Katara...
There was something about that name...something about it. Katara... There was not just something about the name, but her. Her. That girl.

He was going to go after her.

[waterbendergrl06]

Katara sat down and wondered where she was. Now she sort of wished she hadn't of run off. What are you thinking! Why would you wanna go back with that arrogant, no good, always smirking fire nation prince! Come on Katara you can take a little forest! But it wasn't a little forest, it was huge and nowhere near a village or none she knew of.

"Keep on licking!" a voice said from a while away. "The sooner I get free, the sooner I can get back at that waterbender who froze me here!" Katara stiffened. The person was talking about her and the person was Jet. She had completely forgotten about him. She didn't know where to run because she didn't know where Jet was or Zuko and she didn't want to run in to either of them. Suddenly two huge arms wrapped around her and brought her to...

[storybookgirl]

-to hold her so that she couldn't get away. Katara screamed.

*You're stupid, Zuko! You've known her name for a long time now! The same with her idiot brother and Avatar friend. So why is this all affecting you this way and now! You're only going after her because you don't want her to get eaten by a platapus bear. ...yeah, that's it. Because you couldn't let someone just die, especially because she's a girl. And it would be very unpleasant for the platapus bear, too.*

Zuko froze when he heard a scream echo through the forest. It was a very feminine scream...and he knew just who it was.

[thiylan]

For a few moments, Katara was dumbfounded. So, she had just fled from Zuko and now she was going to be taken off to Jet. There was only one thing to be decided here. Who was she more appalled by? Zuko or Jet. Zuko or Jet. Jet or Zuko. Hmmm.

"HELP!" she screamed, her actions seeming belated. "AANG! SOKKA! HELP!! ZUKO-" her voice cut off all of the sudden. She had just called for Zuko to help her.

~~~~~~~

"We have to find her Aang!" Sokka's voice was threaded with fear and fustration. He paced back and forth by Appa, who Aang was sitting on.

"I know Sokka, but we don't know where she is." Aang looked around to emphasize his point.

"Or who she's with," Sokka added.

Aang looked down, "Yea..." he had seen the Blue Spirit mask, but what would Sokka say if he found out his sister was with Zuko?
---------------------------------

I thought we needed to see what Aang and Sokka were doing.

[Mashnii]

Zuko dashed through the trees, evading the thin, wooden bodies. Her scream continued to pierce the silence of night, slashing the calm peace that usually comes with the silver orb of the moon.
"Pe-," he stopped himself for a moment. "Katara!" His heart halted; he stopped breathing; he had called her name.
--------

[thiylan]

Katara looked down at the fast moving ground, then, all of the sudden, the world came to a jolting halt. Her breath caught in her throat and her eyes widened at that acid voice.

"Katara. I have been longing to see you again."

~~~~~~~

Zuko had quickly begun his dash again, but Katara's screams had ceased. He ran in the direction he had last heard her calling from, his feet slightly stumbling from the weeds and vines that cluttered the forest floor. He approached a tree house village, or at least the edges of it. He crouched down behind a bush, but a sound alerted him and he looked to his left, only to be met with ...

EDIT: Thank you to whoever (I'm sorry I can't remember your name) deleted their last post. I forgot to put Story in Progress.

[Angel Eyes]

the Avatar and Katara's idiot brother. Both parties paused and stared at each other. Zuko realised that he had forgot to put his mask back on. The Avatar had his lemur curled around his head while the brother had a slug.

"You!" snarled Sokka, preparing to leap at Zuko.

"You have a slug on your head, peasant," snapped Zuko.

While Sokka yelped and tried to wrestle the slug off, the Avatar was glaring at Zuko.

"Where is she? Where is Katara?"

"I don't know."

Aang narrowed his eyes.

"What do you mean you don't know? You kidnapped her!" he hissed quietly at Zuko.

"She left, after she healed my pet," snapped back Zuko.

Just then, another scream tore through the night...
