Chapter 144
Katara cracked one eyelid, the room was unfamiliar but she recognized the mask on the dresser. She closed her eyes when she heard the owner’s footsteps. It was difficult to pretend to be asleep when he oiled between her legs and climbed on top of her but she managed to do so. He was quiet and gentle then rolled over to face the wall as soon as he was finished. Katara waited until he began snoring to scream loud enough to startle him so he’d roll over.
“Zuko?” she said astonished. “You were the man in the mask all along? In the hotel room? And that cabin? Was that you?”
He rolled over and turned his back to her.
Her surprise quickly turned to anger, “Dammit Zuko! Why did you do that to me? Was it fun? Did you enjoy making me think I’d been sold and would never see my family again? Dammit Zuko! I hate you! I hate you with every fiber of my being. I loathe you. I despise you! You’re nothing but a spineless coward!”
“I know,” a muffled voice said quietly next to her.
“What?” Katara uttered in surprise. He was supposed to fight back. He wasn’t supposed to agree with her.
“I know. I’ve been told that all my life. I don’t need you to remind me that I’m nothing but a pathetic screw-up,”
Katara rolled over and the chains twisted but she needed to see him. The pillow was wrapped around his head and he was pressed as closely against the wall as possible. “Zuko?”
After getting no response she called his name again, “Zuko.”
She screamed at him, “Zuko, say something.”
He flinched and huddled closer to the wall. Katara called his name several times but he didn’t answer.

Katara tried to talk to him for the next few days but he still didn’t respond to her. Even after they moved back into his room from the smaller room where he’d been hiding her he wouldn’t say anything. He would put the mask on to unchain her so she could tend to her basic needs. When he was up and about she was blindfolded and chained to the bed. Only this time the chain was long enough for her to sit and stand.
He ignored all of her attempts at conversation; if she cried he left the room and didn’t return for hours. At night he would roll her onto her stomach then silently use her as fast and gently as possible. Now that she knew it was him he didn’t even try to kiss her. He’d disappear as soon as he finished.
By the time her fifth day of lucidity rolled about Katara couldn’t stop sobbing. She was lonely. Sokka hated her. Aang hated her. Zuko hated her. She had no one. She never thought it was possible to miss someone when you were right beside them let alone that she would ever miss Zuko.
She’d cry herself to sleep each night only to wake up and start again the next morning.

Mai was ecstatic. Zuko had finally come to his senses and gotten rid of the Waterbender two ports ago. They had been on several dates and their relationship was becoming more intimate. Even Ty Lee had commented on the changes in her aura. As close as she felt the two of them had gotten over the past four weeks there was still one gap between them. She remained a virgin. She had to sleep with Zuko to secure both of their crowns.
She asked Azula for her master key deciding to solve that problem. She tried it in the lock on Zuko’s door it didn’t turn. She examined the lock then tried again. She tried all of the keys on the ring but neither one of them fit; she should have known Azula would not give her the means to help Zuko inherit. She pulled out two senbon and was picking it when Zuko walked up on her. Mai returned the senbon to their pouch and smiled at him, “Zuko, you’re back, I wanted to surprise you.”
His reply was less than enthusiastic, “Why are you trying to break into my room?”
“I wanted to have breakfast with you,” she explained.
“And you had to break into my room to do it?” he asked with his teeth clenched.
“Zuko, it’s not even dinnertime, but I’m inviting you to breakfast. Shouldn’t that mean something to you?” Mai asked coyly.
“It means I want to know why you were trying to break into my room,” he repeated.
Mai realized they mostly spent time on deck or in her quarters since they’d gotten back on Ursa. Zuko had disappeared for several days but she didn’t think much of it. They’d been back at sea for a week and were still two days from the next port. It didn’t make sense for him not to have invited her to his quarters overnight, “Zuko, why haven’t I been invited to spend the night with you?”
He answered, “The last time I did you told me it was improper. Why were you trying to break into my room?”
“Because I want to spend the night with you; Zuko we need to consummate our relationship,” she replied.
“Why? What makes it so important now and what made you change your mind” he asked already knowing the answer.
She wrapped her arms around him and stood on her tip-toes to breach the short distance to look him in the eye as she kissed him, “We are engaged Zuko and I’m your girlfriend, why wouldn’t I want to have sex with you?”
“Girlfriend? What do you mean? We haven’t gotten back together,” he said confused.
“What do you mean we haven’t gotten back together?” she asked coyly. “We’ve gone on dates, you’ve gotten rid of the Waterbender and I’ve pleasured you. What’s that if we’re not together?”
Zuko took a step back from her and disentangled himself from her arm, “Mai, I have enjoyed spending time with you these past few weeks and I’m sorry to have given you that impression, but I have no intentions of us getting back together or ever getting rid of Katara.”
“What? You haven’t gotten rid of her? What you mean you haven’t gotten rid of her? I was in your room in between ports but I didn’t see her,” she hissed.
Mai’s eyes narrowed as she remembered one small detail she’d overlooked. If his room was anything like Azula’s it had a smaller room attached to accommodate a nursemaid. “Is she in there? Is that why you haven’t invited me to spend the night with you?”
“Yes,” he admitted bashfully.
Mai wiped her lips and tongue with her hand, “But I used my mouth on you!”
“I tried to discourage you from doing so, but you insisted. What was I supposed to do when you grabbed my hands and wrapped your lips around my dragon?” he replied defensively.
“You know that is an act that is only done between engaged or married couples. I would have never touched you if I had an idea that you didn’t consider us together. What do you think I am? Some kind of whore?”
“No Mai, I don’t think you’re a whore. I never said we weren’t engaged. I still intend to honor Grandfather’s marriage arrangement, but I don’t want to be your boyfriend at this time,” he explained.
“Why not? Is it because of your who-Waterbender”, she began before stopping abruptly and changing words as Zuko’s faced darkened.
“Katara is part of the reason but not the main cause of it. Mai, we have barely talked since we broke up and nothing major has changed between us during that time. I’m sorry if spending time with you was misleading. It was not my intention,” Zuko explained.
“So what was your intention Zuko?” She inquired coldly.
“I didn’t have any intention. I just needed a friend and you came around at the right moment. I may not want to be your boyfriend but I do value your friendship,” Zuko replied.
“You value my friendship? What does friendship have to do with a marriage arrangement? What does friendship have to do with me sucking your penis? I trusted you Zuko and you used me,” she accused.
“Mai I’m sorry,” Zuko said defensively. “I didn’t mean to use you or mislead you. I never said we’d gotten back together just that I’d had fun spending time with you and missed being your friend. You were the one who kissed me. You were the one who pulled my pants down and put your head in my lap. I probably should have tried harder to stop you and never should have touched your breasts, but we are engaged. I didn’t think what we were doing was abnormal or you’d infer we were back together.”
Mai looked at him, “So if you hadn’t caught me breaking into your room, would you have slept with me too?”
“Mai,” Zuko called her name softly while reaching for her hand. He’d messed up again. He didn’t mean to hurt her feelings or make her think they’d gotten back together.
She jerked away from him. “Answer the question Zuko, if you hadn’t caught me breaking into your room would you have slept with me?”
His shoulders slumped, “Yes.”
Mai’s face had grown stony and Zuko knew his words had upset her. She stepped back towards him. The vocal inflections imperceptible to all but her closest friends were missing when she asked, “Why? Why would you sleep with me when you haven’t gotten rid of the Waterbender? I haven’t seen her. No one has. Why would you let everyone think she was gone? Why would you let me think she was gone?”
Zuko pinched his forehead in frustration and groaned, “Mai.”
Her voice remained flat as she began making dangerous accusations, “Have you grown bored with her already? Does she no longer excite you?”
“No, that’s not it. She doesn’t bore me and I’m still excited by her,” he yelled. He couldn’t risk anyone thinking he’d grown tired of Katara.
“So why would you have slept with me when you still have her unless you find her boring?” Mai questioned loudly hoping someone would hear it.
“Because for once I want to fuck a woman that’s willing,” Zuko screamed back at her.
Mai’s face remained a perfect mask but her clipped tone expressed her feelings, “Zuko, I still have doubts about giving you my virginity, but to secure our marriage and your throne I am prepared to do what is necessary.”
“So you don’t want to sleep with me either?” he retorted harshly.
“What I want is for you to become Fire Lord, my husband, and the father of my children. Sex is merely a duty that must be fulfilled to obtain those things. I guess I should take comfort in the fact that even though the Waterbender received your first sowing there is no danger of anyone challenging my children for the right to inherit.”
Zuko bristled. “If you wish to keep your life you will leave my presence and never speak of the child that I lost again. And just so you know, Bingwen recently confirmed that Katara may be capable of having children. She may not get pregnant as easily as she did the last time, but we are young. There are still plenty of opportunities. She spends every night in my bed receiving the milk of my dragon. In time another of my seeds will reach her womb. I plan to watch it grow in spite of how other people may feel on the matter.”
“You lie,” Mai hissed covering her mouth in horror.
“No Mai, I do not. That is the main reason I tried to keep your lips off my penis. At least I’ve kept my promise that I would be the only man to taste her sweet phoenix unless you’ve been kissing Azula.”
Zuko caught her hand when she tried to slap him, “Leave Mai. From now on, I promise to keep my distance so long as I or Katara is not provoked by you.”
