Summary: Jet is persistant to reveal that Zuko is from the fire nation. Pushing Zuko to the limit to get his results. The city no longer save for the three of you, but great news might perhaps persuade you to stay just a bit longer. [series]

Zuko felt a heavy pounding in his head. He tried to sit up, hand pressed against his forehead. Slowly his eyes opened, adjusting to the upcoming morning glow. A blurred figure calling something out. Blinking he tried to focus his vision. With a few blinks became you clearer as your voice. - "Zuko." - you called out worriedly. Shaking him by his shoulder awake. - "Y/n." - he said hesitantly as you helped him sit better up against the wall.

He weakly moved his hand up, touching your cheek brief. - "Princess!" - another voice came through. You leaned closer to Zuko, hands laying on his shoulder. - "He knows you're fire nation." - you warned him. Zuko tensed his expression, pushing you a bit aside for him to see. Jet. Jet stood a bit further away with his crew. Zuko wanted to stand as you assisted him. - "Did you take her?" - he needed to know, pointing at Jet. - "I had to tell her the truth!" - Jet replied.

You saw him get worked up, knowing very well how his temper went. You touched his shoulder, looking up at him. Slightly shaking your head. Zuko grunted soft, looking away. Jet pointed his blade at Zuko. - "He's from the fire nation." - he shouted loud, looking around. Some curious people opened their windows. Others who just stepped outside, stopped to stare. - "The fire nation is here." - he called out pointing at Zuko.

Zuko clenched his jaw. You took his hand squeezing it hard to tone his temper. Some people took a curious look at Zuko before shrugging their shoulder and continuing with the start of their day. His crew looked embarrassed around. - "Jet... knock it off." - one of them said tugging at his shirt. Jet shrugged his arm, throwing his grip off. - "No, I'm telling the truth." - he replied desperately. Some villagers stared questionable at Jet.

You turned to look up to Zuko. He met up with your gaze, untensing a bit as no one seemed to believe Jet. - "Jet... just stop." - another of his crew said between clenched teeth. Some people started laughing. - "The fire nation here? Ba Sing Se is too heavily guarded for them to enter." - one of the villiagers laughed out. It frustrated Jet that no one was listening. People started to move away.

Having enough of empty words. Jet felt his head burst with anger. - "I'll show you." - he called out, pointing with his blade firm at Zuko. Zuko moved a step forward as you tried to hold him back. - "I'm not going to fight you." - Zuko let out. Jet groaned loud. With his blade in the ready, he ran up to Zuko. Zuko shoved you aside, jumping back when Jet came slashing his blade down.

It clattered against the ground. Grunting loud he moved his blade up. Swaying it at Zuko. Zuko kept moving and jumping back to avoid being hit. - "Fight me." - Jet called out slashing his blade down. Zuko stumbled back against a cart with cabbages. Some cabbages rolled off the cart onto the streets. - "My cabbages!" - the vendor cried out. Zuko grabbed a cabbage throwing it at Jet. Jet sliced it in two with his blade when it came his way.

Jet came swingingly with his blade at Zuko. Zuko ducked down to avoid getting hit. Having slightly enough of Jet, he kicked him back. Jet stumbling back on his feet. Regaining his balance quick. Zuko threw a punch his way as Jet blocked it. Standing at the side-line, you watched anxiously. Hoping Zuko wouldn't slip his firebending through it and expose him to the earth Kingdom.

Zuko and Jet were fighting or rather Zuko more deflecting his moves. Jet attacking with a blinded rage. Jet got smacked against another cart with spices. Glancing over his shoulder, he collected some spice powder in his hand. Throwing it at Zuko to blind him. Zuko moved his arm over his eyes, turning away. The spices hitting his arm. Lowering his arm he gave Jet a glare.

You noticed more people had come to look. Whisper to each other and point at the fight. Jet's crew had backed away, not wanting to be associated with him. Jet raged like a mad man doing everything in his might to make Zuko firebend. Zuko fought back with only the strenght of his own body. - "You are fire nation!" - Jet called out with anger.

Zuko remained silent, not enganging with his accusations. Jet grunted loud that he wasn't getting Zuko to show his true self. His gaze fell on you on the side-line, watching with fright. - "If you won't show it, she'll make you." - he said. Zuko's eyes widened when Jet threw a dagger your way. Gasping loud you tried to jump away.

The dagger getting caught in your clothing, pinning you against the wall by your waist. Zuko came running over to you, pulling the dagger out. - "Are you alright?" - he asked touching your cheek. From over his shoulder you saw Jet make his way over. Shoving Zuko aside, you called upon water. Sending a flood to sweep him off his feet. Jet got hit, rolling backwards over the street.

Coming to a stop as a group of mysterious men stood behind him. Two of them grabbed him. Jet looked in a panic around as they dragged him off. - "No, he's fire nation. Take him. I'm not mad!" - Jet shouted but no one was listening. You held Zuko by his arm, watching Jet get dragged away. The townspeople seemed to give it little attention or they were too afraid to look.

Zuko took your hand, leading you away. Not caring who had taken Jet for it served him right. You swallowed nervously, following him on foot. - "Zuko..." - you started wanting to speak about it. Zuko remained quiet, simply tugging harder on you to keep up. You didn't like the silent treatment, but couldn't blame him. - "He saw Iroh heat up his tea." - you told him. - "I couldn't get it out of his head." - you went on out of breath.

He remained silent, dragging you back to the sleeping place. - "Zuko!" - you called out wanting to have any reaction out of him. - "I only seem to attract trouble...I'm really sorry. Maybe I should remain behind to not endanger your task any further." - you finished pained with guilt. Zuko suddenly stopped, turned round and pulled you close to him.

"No." - he answered hugging you tight. You embraced him back with a tight grip. Pulling back, he touched you chin to cheer you back up. The small gesture made you smile faintly at him. The two of returned to Iroh. When you entered he sat down with a cup of tea. Quirking his eyebrow up at the sight of you two. Something told you he thought you'd still be sleeping. He gently blew on his tea when Zuko sat down with a heavy sigh.

"It's good to see you bond. Bonding is good." - Iroh said receiving a glare from his nephew. You joined them quietly. Iroh noticed the silent tension wondering if anything happend. Quirking his eyebrow up once more. - "We can't stay." - Zuko cut through the silence, tapping with his fingers on the table, looking away. - "How so?" - Iroh asked.

You turned your gaze down, pressing your hands between the folds of your dress. - "It just isn't save." - he replied not throwing any accusations at his uncle for heating his tea so carelessly. Iroh drank his tea empty. With a deep sigh he got up. - "I'm in need of tea herbs. Anyone want to join me?" - he asked. You didn't return his look. - "I'll think I better stay in." - you responded not in the mood to get back outside.

"I'll stay with her." - Zuko answered after seeing his uncle turn to him. - "You... you don't have to do that." - you told Zuko not wanting it to be forced. He dismissed your words, sending his uncle off. After a moment of silence, you moved a bit closer to Zuko. - "How is your head?" - you questioned. Zuko touched his forehead, already forgotten about the stomp. He shrugged his shoulders not caring much.

You moved even closer to him as Zuko watched you tentive. - "May I?" - you asked moving your hands up. He slowly nodded. You let water flow from your flask. The water surrounded your hand as you leaned closer. Touching his neck as you brought your other hand to his head.

Zuko closed his eyes feeling the sweet sensation from the healing water. He opened his eyes once more, staring with wide eyes at you from how close you sat to him. Making him swallow nervously. Drawing his gaze down to your lips. You lowered your hand, mesmerized by his gaze. Anticipating the moment. Sucking in a breath, he neared his head.

Tilting it a bit to reach your lips. Kissing them tenderly. Zuko deepened the kiss, holding your cheeks. It was blissful as it made you tug at his shirt. Wanting him even closer. Zuko removed his lips from against yours. His gaze drifting shyly away.

You turned your posture more to the centre. - "Where will we go then?" - you asked drawing a circle on the table with your finger. - "I'm not sure yet." - Zuko replied his gaze on your hand. Debating if he should take it. His hand was already going half-way up to you. Pulling the last second away when his uncle barged in. Panting. - "The avatar is here." - he breathed out.
