A/N: Thanks for reading this chapter. Sorry for all the delays in updates. Between school, work, and family obligations my schedule is packed. I will continue this story if readers are interested. There are several more chapters until the planned ending. I just have to find time to write them.
Stay
Sleep eluded Zuko while Azula was missing. Days and nights passed. His body was running on empty. Nine hours asleep in 10 days clouded his judgment. Paranoia and doubt started to take hold. The sun had set on another day without Azula. The fire lord was sure Miso had taken his princess.
"You called for me Fire Lord Zuko", Colonel Yar’s words cracked the silence in Zuko’s throne room.
"Yes, I need you to find Princess Azula and bring her back, Colonel Yar. She should have been back over two days ago. I don't know where she has been taken. Find the water bender, Miso, and you will find Azula."
"I will start the search immediately."
Iroh arrived as Yar was leaving. Yar's face was more serious than usual. The stern look concerned Iroh. The old man shook his head gently before continuing.
The huge bags under Zuko's eyes caused Iroh to pause. The old man quickly deduced Yar and Zuko's meeting was about Azula. Azula and Zuko's relationship had always been a complicated one. Recent events had made the relationship even more complicated. The knowledgeable uncle worried for his nephew. Zuko had not been the same since he returned from Fire Fountain. Iroh saw him snap at servants. The young fire lord was unfocused in meetings. The worst part Zuko would not talk about what was wrong. He just kept things to himself.
"Uncle did you need something?"
"I want to see if you wanted to have afternoon tea with me."
"No".
"Perhaps we can go for a walk. It's been awhile."
"No."
"I was hoping to speak with you."
"About."
"What's wrong? You haven't been sleeping."
"I am fine."
"You"
"I said I'm fine, " he snapped. Zuko's voiced returned to an almost normal tone. "I am busy Uncle."
Iroh's eyes darted around the empty throne room. "I'll leave you, to your duties, Fire Lord Zuko." The old man turned away from the cranky fire lord. Iroh knew something was wrong with Zuko. Everyone knew something was wrong. Iroh sighed as he left the room.
"Your tea idea didn't work, huh".
"No. I am worried. Fire Lord Zuko, is so tense and tired he's going to burn himself out."
"We need to find a way to help Zuko relax. He's just not himself." Aang snapped his fingers. "I know I'll take him to the Northern Air Temple. Some time away will do him some good. It'll give him a chance to meditate."
"Meditation isn't going to work. He's acting a like a cranky baby. Zuko needs a nap. Twinkle Toes, we need to find a way to knock him out."
"Toph is right. He needs to sleep."
"How are we going to get him to sleep? We can't even get him to leave the throne room."
"There's always the hard way. One rock to the right place."
"I have a better idea. We'll need help."
////////////
"Forgive me for intruding Fire Lord Zuko." Saikura bowed before Zuko. "You seemed stressed." She took a few steps forward.
"Saikura, I don't want to play."
"I am not here for that. I thought you might want to eat something."
"I am not hungry. I am busy. I don't want to be disturbed."
"How about something to drink? I had the chef prepare his famous power punch. If you're not going to eat at least drink something to keep up your strength. The generals swear it's the best drink to drink before going into battle. You will feel rejuvenated. "
"Fine."
"I'll have them bring it in right away."
////////////////
"Can't we go any faster? At this rate it'll take weeks to get back to the Fire Nation."
"Azula, Appa going as fast as he can."
" We'll get there by nightfall," added Sokka.
"Azula, you seem anxious about returning. "
"I am not anxious. I am late, and it's your fault Miso."
"I apologize for making you late", Miso bowed his head, " but I have no regrets", Miso smiled his perfect smile. His smile was confident, sincere, and a little flirtatious all without coming across as a come on.
///////////////
The servants tucked Zuko in his bed. The power punch Saikura gave him knocked Zuko out. The power punch contained an herbal sleep remedy, which placed Zuko in a deep sleep. He slept as Aang and the others moved him from the throne room to Zuko's bedroom. It worked so well Zuko did not awaken as the servants dressed him for bed.
"Lord Zuko, Princess Azula has returned."
Zuko could see the sky bison coming in for a landing in the distance. "Appa is headed for the main courtyard." He ran in Appa's direction. Aang and Toph were already there when Zuko arrived. Appa landed several yards away from them. Zuko's heart seemed to skip a beat when he saw Azula. Their eyes locked. His feet froze. Confusion filled his mind. His next move could determine how their relationship would be perceived. Aang started running toward Katara and she began running toward him. They met in the middle in a passionate embrace. Zuko wondered if that was what he should do. Nothing about Azula screamed public display of affection. If he greeted her like a sister it would still be weird. They hadn't had a true brother sister relationship for years.
"What should I do?" Zuko eyed Miso helping Azula off of Appa. He started to run toward her. Kính stepped in Zuko's path. The fire lord barely missed running into him.
"Fire Lord Zuko have you forgotten about the Arc of the Avatar?"
Zuko’s eyes remained focused on Azula. Azula's face showed her displeasure. "I don't have time for this, Kính". Zuko brushed by Kính. The young fire lord started running faster toward his princess. The distance between them increased. Aang and Katara blocked his path.
"Zuko, isn't it great Azula is back in time to open the arc this month."
"Aang."
"Aang is right Zuko no more excuses."
"Katara, I need to get to Azula." Zuko squeezed between the two lovebirds. He was just a few feet from Azula. She looked even more upset up close.
Li and Lo appeared in Zuko's path. "We think it's best for Princess Azula to return to Hearth Island."
"No."
The old twins turned to Azula. "Do you want to return to Hearth Island Princess Azula?"
Azula turned to Miso. "What do you think Miso? Should I return to my home?"
"Why are you asking him? Your home is here”, yelled Zuko.
Miso smiled his perfect smile. "Let's return to our home Azula. Hearth Island is where we belong. It is obvious Zuko can't protect you, heal you, or love you like I can."
"You stay away from her." Dagger like flames formed in Zuko's hands. He charged at Miso, but the ground moved under his feet causing him to fall. He looked over his shoulder at Toph.
"Sorry, Zuko but she's made her choice."
"Too slow as usual dum-dum."
"No". Zuko woke up yelling. Sweat covered him. Ragged breaths escaped his lips. "I need to find her." His body refused to move. The sleep over took him once more.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Less than an hour later, Azula arrived. "Zuzu, I am back". She expected Zuko to be overjoyed at her arrival. Azula hated to admit it, but she want him to greet her like Aang greeted Katara.
After Appa landed in the main courtyard. Aang blew passed everyone. The avatar scooped up his fiancée and spun her around. To young lovers beamed as they stared into each other’s eyes. Katara's arms draped around his neck; she kissed him sweetly. Sokka and Suki ran to each other as if they had not seen each other in a 1000 years.
Azula’s face twisted at the memory. Azula lit every lantern in the room. The light did not faze the fire lord. "Zuko", she raised her voice.
The sleep was too deep. Azula's voice could not reach the slumbering fire lord in this world. However, his dreams were always opened to her.
Warm water covered Zuko from the waist down. He knew he was in his tub without opening his eyes. His body relaxed. "I can use this time alone to gather my thoughts."
"Does that mean you want me to leave?
"Azula". Zuko's eyes sprang open. "No” He started to move toward her.
She stopped by placing her hand on his chest. "It's good to see you, Zuzu. I'm not here for what you think. You have the real world me for that.
"Then why are you here?"
"I'm here to give you some advice. Don't screw this up dum-dum."
"What are you talking about?"
"The covenant dum-dum. We both know your secrets will come to light if you aren't careful. Saikura, Ozai, the truth about the arc and the convent could all come to light. I'm not easily fooled, and you’re not good at hiding things from me. You’ll have to be at the top of the deceit game to hide all your secrets. " She rose out of the water. "Also, you should wake up. Don't you feel"
Zuko's eyes opened. Azula was asleep next him. A mixture of relief and happiness washed over him. "You came back."
"I live here," she mumbled into her pillow.
He pulled her close to him and held her tightly. Zuko nuzzled against her neck. "You've been away too long. I've missed you."
She turned to him to face him. She wanted say something but his honesty robbed her words. Her eyes searched his face in the light from the rising sun. The sincerity in his eyes told her he was telling the truth. Azula didn't have to speak. Her lips meet with his.
Reluctantly, his lips pulled from hers. Her lips parted to speak. "Don't talk", he placed a finger on her lips, "just listen”. He kissed her frown away. She stared up at him waiting for him to say something. Zuko wanted to tell how much he missed her. Tell how miserable his days and nights were without her. He wanted to tell his secrets. Confessing to his mistakes would be a mistake, but he wanted to chance it anyway. He wanted her to know he needed her, wanted her.
He opened his mouth, but his mind failed. Where should he start? How should he start? What should he say?
He kissed her like he should have kissed her on their wedding day. The kiss grew more and more passionate. The kiss moved from her mouth to her chin to neck. A bite, from him, took her off guard. This time Zuko would be the one leaving his mark on her. Azula was so caught up she did not realize he'd opened her robe until he brushed the material aside. He worshiped each breast, not just the nipples. His mouth and hands worked in unison. It felt as if she had a volcano inside her. Each touch and kiss brought her closer to erupting. Her moans told him to continue.
His trail of kisses moved down the flat panel of her stomach. Then skipped down to her right knee to start a new trail of kisses upward. The inner thigh kisses and nibbles left her wet with anticipation. "MMMM", he groaned as he breathed in her scent. His fingers teasingly massaged her mound. Her hips rose slightly off the bed prompting him to smile at her eagerness. A finger parted her folds, as his tongue collected her wetness. Circling her clit with is finger increased her moans. Hearing her satisfaction intensified his hunger. He ravished her. Soon what felt like the volcano inside her erupted. He grabbed her hips and continued tasting her. Zuko didn’t want to waste a single drop. Zuko kissed way back up to her mouth. The kiss he gave her sweet and soft.
Zuko spooned with Azula. The way he held her made her feel cherished. She couldn't help but smile. The way he held her changed. It went from a loving hold to a clang. He held her as if she were going to slip away from him. "Stay with me", he whispered in her ear.
Azula could hear the plea in his voice. She felt the desperation in his grip. '''Yes”, she responded as she intertwined her fingers with his.
