~Zuko~

After sparring with Sokka, I put my swords down and took a deep breathe to try and relax myself. I turned around to see Zenaida with a cautious look on her face as she approached me. Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, she cleared her throat and glanced at something behind her before looking up at me.

" Uhm...me and Aida were talking and she says that promises to apologize to Toph." she said, her eyes not meeting mine and her voice wavering a little bit. Aida doesn't apologize. But Zenaida doesn't lie. So what do I do?

~Zenaida~

" I am not fuckin' apoligizing to that kid! And you fuckin' suck at lying. Now your just gonna get us even more in trouble. Good looking out, Zenaida." she said with a sarcastic chuckle.

" Do you want to come out or not, Aida? I'm trying to help you and Toph, alright?" I told her as we waited for Zuko's answer. She sighed irritably and groaned.

" Fine. Whatever. But I'm only going to apologize before I do whatever the hell I want again." she said. Zuko shifted his weight from one foot to another, still studying us. I gulped and referred back to Aida.

" You have to apologize. That's a definite. But Zuko will probably tell you to do something to make sure your behave." I told her right before Prince Zuko sighed and furrowed his eyebrows.

" Fine. Bring her out to me first." he commanded and I heard a triumphant, " Yes!" from Aida before everything got dark.

~Aida~

" You will behave, Aida. Do you hear me?" he commanded and I gave a quick nod before turning around and walking back to that girl with the busted lip. I didn't feel one ounce of regret from doing that to her. Stopping right in front of her, I could feel everyone watching me from behind, so I opened my mouth to apologize.......but the damn words couldn't come out!

" I-I a.......So-" I began but the words wouldn't go out of my mouth! Shit, if I don't get this straight soon my ass is going to be grass! Locked up in the fuckin' head of ours again. Why the hell can't I apologize? the words keep choking up in my throat! I could hear the Sokka guy clear his throat and I turned around to give him a hard look which made his tough expression fade away.

" Aida. We don't have all day." Zuko said as he crossed his arms over his chest and leaned agains the wall of the cabin that lead to the downstairs. I turned around to him, frusturated that I could do everything but apologize.

" I'm apologizing to her, not you!" I said and he rolled his eyes. I took a deep breath and faced the Toph girl again, who was looking at the floor. I must refocus for me to.....apologize. It's such an easy thing to do! See, look, I can say it. I am sorry.

" Your saying sorry to Toph, not me Aida." Zenaida said lowly and I growled in frusturation. Okay, I'm just going to get it out of my mouth reeeeaaalllly quick.

" I'm sorry!" I said and smiled to see that I actually said that. With a triumphant grin, I flipped my hair over my shoulder and faced Zuko with a defiant look. " See. I can do anything."

" I didn't say you couldn't." he said in him low and raggedy voice before making his way up to the captain's room. Feeling accomplished, I looked at the Avatar and his two friends.

" What are all of you staring at?" I asked them bitterly and they went on their own ways again. Making sure they were all doing something, I bent down in front of Toph and smirked. " Why did you want to talk to me? Because you wanted an apology, little girl? Well, I just want to let you know that that apology was full of crap." I hissed before rising again, but she grabbed my hair and pulled me down to her level. I sent my fist flying to her, but it stopped right before it hit her cheek.

" Remember, you can't hurt me. But I can hurt you." Toph said with a smirk before throwing me against the cabin wall. I groaned and hated Zuko for not letting me hurt this kid, but I smirked at how clever she was. Rubbing my back, I stood back up and walked over to her. I don't like many people. Well, I don't like anyone actually. But this Toph kid......there's something about her that makes me smile. Ugh, what the fuck am I saying?

" Smartass kid...." I mumbled under my breathe as I leaned on the railing next to her. She looked up at me with furrowed brows as she blew her bangs out of her face.

" Yeah, well I'd rather be a smartass kid than a bully!" she yelled in my face and I threw my head back to laugh at that. I was not a bully. I was a badass.

" I think your mistaking bully for badass, kid, because badass I'll accept." I said and it was her turn to chuckle before leaning back on the crate. I watched as the Avatar boy stroked his boar's head as it ate the feed I found in the storage.

" You think you can be crowned the name "badass" because you slammed a little kid like me into a wall?" she said with a disbelieving laugh. I smirked at that and ran a hand through my hair, catching the Avatar's wandering eyes. I nibbled on my lip just for the amusement and he blushed while rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly. Then the waterbender girl, Katara, poked her head out from behind their boar and shot me an evil glare that I surely retuned. Scoffing, she went back behind their boar, the Avatar giving me a confused look.

" No, I think I am crowned the name, "badass" because I can kick a lot of fuckin' asses." I boasted as I flipped my hair over my shoulder again only for the kid to laugh again. I furrowed my eyebrows, angry that the kid found me funny and hysterical because I wasn't that type of person.

" Right....." she said sarcastically with a little smile. I found myself grinning and wondered for a moment whether I was grinning because Zenaida was meshing herself with me.

" Nope, I'm not doing anything. It's all you." she said lowly in the back of my mind and I wiped the smile off of my face before pushing myself off the railing and grabbing one of those circle floating things that they throw to people when they go overboard. I tested the rope and tied the end of it to the railing as Zuko walked out from the captain's room.

" Aida, what are you doing?" he asked as I threw off my robe and stood in my underware and breastbindings. Sokka and Aang stared and I winked at them before Zuko grabbed my arm. " I asked you a question."

" And I'm about to give you the answer." I said with a small smirk as I grabbed the circular floaty.

~Zuko~

She turned around and jumped off the side, the rope make a -swish- sound as is went down with her.

" What the hell?" I said as I rushed to the side to see her already sitting comfortably in the lifeguard ring. She was laying back, hands held behind her head as she smirked up at us. " Aida, get your ass up here right now!"

" Aw, come on Zuko! I promise I'll fuckin' behave! I'm not causing any trouble down here!" she said, the command already taking it's effect as her fire acted like rockets as it propelled her up to the deck again. Landing on the deck with irritation scribbled on her face, she crossed her arms over her chest.

" No, because you might do something stupid to get us caught." I said as I began to walk to the cabin. She groaned in frusturation and wrapped her arms around mine.

" Please! Pretty fuckin' please! I just want to relax! Shit, I swear I won't cause any damn trouble!" she said and I sighed because I knew Aida wouldn't lie to me when she just got out of trouble.

" Fine." I said and she punched my arm playfully, even though it hurt like a bitch. " Ouch! Why'd you do that for!"

" Thank you!" she called back as she began to run to the edge, everyone watching her. She hopped off the edge again with a, " Whoo!" and everyone smirk when we heard a splash.

~Aida~

I relaxed in the floaty as I soaked in the sun. I hate that our skin is so pale. Running my fingertips over my toned stomache, I smiled at the memory of my first killing. But my peace and relaxation was ruined by that damn kid.

" Hey, you better get up here before you get all pruny!" she called from over the railing. Her blind eyes looked down at me with furrowed brows but a little grin on her face.

" What the fuck do you care, kid?" I asked, trying to sound calm so Zuko doesn't make me get out of the water. She gripped the railing and leaned over a little.

" You don't have to get all mad and angry! I'm just trying to save you from complaining about getting pruny." she said as she blew her bangs out of her face. I chuckled at the lame excuse and leaned back in the floaty, watching the cloud-less blue sky.

" Whatever kid." I said and was about to flip her off when I remembered she couldn't see. I kicked my feet around in the water, making the floaty move me backwards.

" So......where were you born?" she asked rather unsurely as she leaned on the railing of the ship, still looking down at me. Why was this liitle girl talking to me when I just busted her lip? Isn't she scared?

" Why the fuck are you talking to me, kid? Don't you got something else to do rather than annoy me, because that's what your doing!" I said and she sighed before blowing her bangs and leaving the railing. I did feel kind of bad, but she was annoying me!

~Zenaida~

Later that day as I sat in Prince Zuko's room while he looked over a map, I tried to keep myself from drooling because he was shirtless once again. My eyes couldn't shrink from the large size that they were at already and I just couldn't.....breathe. I mean, he was breathe taking. Okay, look away. Oh damn, he caught me. Okay, just act normal.

" Uhm....I have to pee." I blurted out and looked around the room panicking because I couldn't move. Darn, c'mon legs. Start working! Aw, and what did I just say? Did I just say that I had to go pee? That's real smart.

" Nope. Your not going anywhere, Zenaida. I'm going to make sure you stay right here and torture you with his body." Aida said with a chuckle and I groaned because she wouldn't let me move! Ugh, this is just great! I watched as he turned to me with furrowed brows, the saliva in my mouth building up. I swallowed it when he walked over to me and sat next to me. Oh gosh, our arms are touching! Skin to skin contact like this is going to make me melt. I mean, we've touched before, but we're always protected by our clothing. I was wearing a short-sleeved robe. And our arms are touching! Oh, my, gosh. Why am I going ga-ga over something like this? It's just his arm........his masculine arm that could rip me in half.

" Then why don't you go? You don't need my permission." he said and I opened and closed my mouth uselessly. What was going on with me? I know this isn't Aida doing this. I'm feeling something wierd.....you know...down there. Oh Gosh! What is this feeling....

" Uhm....." I began and clenched my jaw as Aida pushed my head forward and our lips crashed hardly against eachother. It kind of hurt at first, but then his arms wrapped around my waist and his tongue enetered. Wow, thank you Aida.

" I expect payback for my generousity." she says with a smirk in her tone and I knew that there'd be a catch for her making a moment like this. But as our tongues play greedily, I find myself slowly being lowered on the bed and Zuko's mouth detached from mine and slowly began to travel......downwards. My body went stiff as his mouth kissed my chin, neck, chest and his hands slowly undid the tie on my robe. Oh, gosh, what do I do? Is he going to hurt me? Oh, no.....

" C'mon, Zenaida! Stop being such a pussywhip and enjoy the fuckin moment!" Aida yelled in my head and she always seemed right about everything so I relaxed and let the good emotions flow in. My robe opened up, showing my still damp breast bindings and underware. A shiver went up my spine as he ran his hands over my stomache. A kiss was placed on my navel as his hands roamed up to my breast bindings. I felt an awkward feeling and grabbed his wrists while sitting up.

" Woah, there, Master......" I said with a nervous chuckle as he blushed in embarassment. I felt bad from stopping him but all of those memories with his father invaded my head. I wasn't sure if I could enjoy what I was supposed to enjoy all because of him! Damn..... " I'm going to go pee now." I said and quickly made my way out of the room, embarassed and angry.
