Zuko looked at the girl on his bed with a blank expression. Her hands and feet were tightly bound with rope and she was gagged with a silk scarf embroidered with the fire nation symbol. Still, she was free to look at him, and he could tell that she was fuming. He didn't blame her.
Zuko ran his hand through his hair and frowned. He had thought she had been put in a cell along with Uncle and the Avatar.
The tightening of his stomach at the thought was expected, as was the sharp pain in his temples. He now had what he thought he always wanted, but the guilt on his conscious was getting worse, not better, and recently he had started feeling physically ill because of it..
Katara was struggling to get out of her bonds, no doubt to try to attack him. And he wouldn't blame her for it, if she did. Anyway, what was she doing in his room? What the hell was he supposed to do with her? He stood, mute and confused, in the doorway for several long seconds before he finally realized that she was dressed exactly like a fire nation concubine.
Oh.
Azula had really gone too far this time. His sister had always been abnormally cruel, but this... this was far too much.
Without another thought, he strode over to the bed, trying desperately to ignore the thin and revealing fabric she was draped in, and undid her gag.
“You. You bastard. Where is Aang? What have you done with him, you backstabbing son of a bitch? He was near death, but you don't care, do you? You don't care if she kills him! And to think that I trusted you for a moment; that I actually thought you might have changed, but no. You're still the same asshole you always were. When I get free of these bonds, so help me I will kill you. You slimy, arrogant --”
“Shhh.” He said, covering her mouth with his hand in an effort to silence her. He met her ice blue eyes with his golden ones for several long moments before he dropped both his eyes and his hand at the same time. “I didn't have a choice.”
“What? What do you mean you didn't have a choice?” She spat, incredulously. “You had a choice. You have always had a choice. You just seem to be adept at making the wrong ones.”
She was seething, her chest rising and falling rapidly with her fury, her cheeks red and her hair in disarray from her struggling. She looked... cute. Unbidden, his gaze fell to her developing breasts, which were partially revealed by the outfit she had been forced to wear.
When she noticed where his eyes were, she blushed furiously and turned her head. “Perverted bastard... I suppose you are going to do now what... what your sister brought me here for...”
She swallowed, suddenly uncertain and shivering slightly with fear.
It took him a moment to register exactly what she said, and when he did, he was furious.
“What? No... no!” He said, emphatically, “ I would never dishonor myself by taking a woman against her will. I am a prince of the Fire Nation!”
He refused to even look at her for a moment, and didn't see that she was studying him, her eyes narrowed slightly in confusion.
“I just... I can't figure you out, Zuko. You don't make any sense at all.” She finally said before sighing to herself.
Zuko felt disgusted... disgusted with Azula, disgusted with the situation, but mostly disgusted with himself. He sighed and sat down on the bed next to her, ignoring the wary look in her eyes and the slight flinch when his arm accidentally rubbed up against hers.
“I know.” He said, his voice soft and sounding defeated. She turned to him, gave him the same look that she had given him briefly in the cell before she had offered to heal him. She opened her mouth to say something, but didn't get the chance, for at that moment the door swung open revealing his sister flanked by a half dozen Dai Li soldiers. She had in her hand the small bottle of water that Katara revealed to him the other day.
Azula's golden eyes took in their position almost immediately and she smirked. “Sorry to interrupt, Zuzu, but I need her.”
Zuko cringed a little, as he always did when she called him Zuzu. He narrowed his eyes suspiciously and stared at his sister.
“Why?”
Azula frowned.
“The Ba Sing Se healers say that our little prisoner will not survive another day, without a miracle.”
Zuko successfully managed not to break eye contact with his sister when Katara gasped.
“This will not do... he must not die before father arrives.”
Two of the Dai Li warriors walked towards the bed, each taking Katara roughly by the arm and dragging her to her feet, her hands and feet still bound. They tried to take a step towards Azula, but Katara could not walk and fell immediately to her knees, forcing them to drag her. At this, Zuko shot to his feet.
“Do you expect them to drag her all the way to the dungeons?” He asked, annoyed, peripherally noticing the strange look Katara was giving him again.
Azula said nothing.
Zuko stared at her for a moment before falling to his knees in front of Katara. Taking a small knife from his belt, he cut the ropes that bound her feet together. He then helped her to her feet, shooing away the Dai Li warriors in the process. His grip on her arm was much more gentle than theirs were, and she gave him a brief grateful look before schooling her expression into a more neutral one.
This silent interaction did not escape Azula's notice. She narrowed her eyes in thought, but didn't say anything. Instead, she turned and led them all out of the room.
Zuko shrugged briefly, giving the girl by his side a quick apologetic look before leading her out the door.
