Chapter 245
Author's Note: All misspellings are intentional and indicative of Zuko's drugged state of mind.Amayu’s worst fears about the mixed drug interactions had come to pass. Zuko was moody, violent, paranoid, and believed they were deliberately keeping Katara away from him. He refused to help getting up, pushing them away each time one of them attempted catch him when he stumbled or offered tend to his bleeding wounds. He pushed himself off the floor, stumbling several times before rising. He paced the room on shaking legs, cursing Katara for everything: for leaving him, for not telling him she’d been unable to heal herself, and for not being able to heal herself. He cursed Mu and Toshio just as loudly for not chasing after her to make sure she was safe.Toshio paled when Zuko began to mention fucking Katara carnally as opposed to an expression of hatred or anger. He hadn't thought that particular side effect would apply to a patient on death's door as the stimulating effects normally applied only to basic life functions such has breathing and heartbeat but he'd forgotten Zuko was a hormonal sixteen year old; arousal was a basic life function for pubescent males.Mu did not share Toshi's concern. He used Zuko's newest request get him to sit down by convincing him the bed would be the best place to wait for Katara since all he would have to do is lay her down and spread her legs once she returned.
“Where is she?” Zuko growled making a motion that would have sent fire at his friend if bending suppressants had not been administered before, during, and after the procedure. They were starting to wear off. He had assailed Mu with a flash of smoke which only made him angrier. “What have you done to me? I can’t bend. You took away my bending.”
“Zuko calm down, we didn’t take away your bending. You only think you can’t bend because you’re dreaming,” Mu said evenly hoping to confuse him.“You’re lying. I’m not dreaming. You took my bending and don’t want me to know it,” Zuko replied looking at the burning fireplace.Toshio saw the action and stepped in front of it then slowly began suppressing the flames. Mu had some success with playing upon his delusions earlier so he decided to try it as well, “Prince Zuko how do you know you are not dreaming? Does this seem like something that would really happen?”“I’m not dreaming!” Zuko insisted.“How do you know?” he asked calmly.Zuko looked from Mu to the doctor, “I’m horny. If I were dreaming you two would be gone and I’d be fucking Katara by now. WHERE IS SHE? Are you trying to keep her away from me so you can fuck her yourselves?”They were saved from having to answer that question by someone knocking at the door. “Don’t open it. You just want people to see me weak!” Zuko accused forgetting his earlier line of thought.“It is most likely Katara, Zuke. She left without taking a key,” Mu explained while walking to the door. “Who is it?’After a long pause a voice replied, “It’s Ty Lee.” Katara heard Mu’s voice so she didn’t say anything.“No, don’t let her in. Azula’s with her. Azula can’t see me.”“Is there anyone with you?” Mu asked loudly.Katara shook her head and attempted to leave. Ty Lee made no physical effort to stop her but reminded her, “Zuko’s in there? Do you not want to see him.”“I don’t want to see Mu," she replied quietly.Ty Lee paused. She had been working at the Ursa House long enough to immediately suspect the worse when it came to men and women, “Katara did Mu do something to you? Is that why you came to the Ursa House? Because he assaulted you?”“He said I was a selfish bitch. That I am worse than Mai and I’m killing Zuko,” Katara whispered.“But how can you be killing him if you want to help him?” Ty Lee inquired while smoothing the rough edges of Katara’s aura.“Ty Lee do you have anyone with you,” Mu repeated more forcefully this time. Zuko was trying to get up so he could prevent him from opening the door.“Katara is with me,” she replied uncertain if that was the right thing to say.“Open the door if it’s Katara,” Zuko yelled managing to use the dresser and heft himself off the bed.“Are you sure you want to go in there?” Ty Lee asked seeing the way Katara shrank back into the hall when she saw Mu on the other side of the door. “You don’t have to.”“Prince Zuko, your wounds please be careful!” Toshio said moving to assisting him.“Let go of me. You just want to keep me away from Katarblar. Let go of me. I need Kataba. KATARABA! KATARBRA!”The Waterbender lowered her head and looked at the floor. There were too many black auras in that room to send someone already upset in there. Ty Lee placed her hand on her forearm, “You don’t have to.” “Sometimes when you aren’t sure about going to the mirror, it screams for you,” Katara replied.Ty Lee followed Katara in the room. Mu and Dr. Toshio were standing next to Zuko. Their hands were extended but not on him. There was blood dripping onto the floor. The room smelled like antiseptic and urine. She closed the door and leaned against it. Zuko’s aura made Katara’s seem bright and beautiful.
“Kataraha! They tried to keep me away from you! Why did you run? Do you not want to be with me? Katarbla do you not want to be with me? Do you want to leave me? Like Uncle Iroh, Lu Ten and Mom left? Do you not want me either? Like father?” Zuko’s stream of questions began as angry yells but tapered off to a quiet whisper, “Do you not want me Katabra? Are you going to abandon me too?”“I’m tired Zuko,” Katara said moving towards him as she reached for her. “I’m so tired. All I want to do is eat and go to bed.”She managed to remain upright as Zuko snatched her to him and let his entire weight collapse on her. She wrapped one arm around his bottom and the other around his neck. She held him in that awkward position until he stopped trembling in her arms. She tilted her head to look at him. His eyes were closed and she thought he was asleep until he opened his eyes smiled, “I love you Kataahra. You’re the only one that came back for me. Promise that if you have to leave you’ll always come back even if it is to kill me, promise you’ll always come back for me.”Katara could hear Mu swearing in the background as she caressed Zuko’s scarred cheek, “I promise no matter what happens so long as there is breathe in our bodies, I will always come back for you.” She placed her hand over his heart, “This will continue to beat until I rip it out of you.”Katara frowned and flattened her hand then her ear against his heart. It was beating too fast, way too fast for it to signify anything but trouble. She realized how much blood was on the floor and was trickling on her arms, “I’m tired Zuko, let’s go lay down.”He nodded and leaned heavily on her as they stumbled the arduously short distance to the bed. Katara lay back and pulled Zuko atop her. She placed her right hand on his left side to monitor his heart and placed her left on his neck to monitor his carotid. Once she had compared those measurements she reached between their bodies with her left hand to take his femoral pulse.“Oh, yeah, Katahbla, I’ve been waiting for you to come back. I need your sweet phoenix so bad,” Zuko groaned shifting to place his erection closer to her hand.Katara’s eyes widened. Zuko’s heart was racing, his pulse was weak and he was erect. “Go get Amayu.”“But her shift has not ended,” Toshio argued.“Why do we need her? All of you, get out!” Zuko yelled as he began fumbling with the blanket Katara was wrapped in.She grabbed his hands, “Zuko, Amayu said we had to get her permission before we become intimate. Since she’s not here can Toshio measure the pulse in your legs and feet? I can feel how hard you are and how fast your heart is beating so I know how much you want me. I want to make sure everything is okay before are intimate.”“Everything’s fine. They just need to get out so we can have sex,” Zuko replied resituating himself between her legs.Katara swallowed heavily. Zuko had not been asking for sex lately. He had been specifically asking if he could love her or make love to her. She hoped she could distract him by saying the same thing. She lifted his hand and held it against her cheek; checking his radial pulse while doing so. “I want to give myself to you but first I need to make you’re healthy enough to accept my gift.”“I can feel your heart beating, can you feel mine?” Katara said guiding his head to her chest. “Your heart is beating so much faster for me than mine is for you. You said that I’m your phoenix and you’re my dragon and their mating causes an inferno. What if I make you explode? What if we make each other feel so good I can’t bring you back with me from the spirit world?”“I don’t need to hear this,” Mu grumbled. “He’s been saying for a while how much he wanted to fuck you. Are you so shameless that you plan on letting us watch?”He was slapped for the second time that day. Ty Lee had understood what Katara was trying to tell them. “There something wrong with him you pervert. Heart rate increases with blood loss but blood pressure decreases. Erections are dependent on blood pressure and vascular flow. She wants to have the pressure in his legs and feet checked to make sure he’s in that condition because he’s amorous not because his heart is overworking itself to push blood to his extremities but there’s so little in his body that’s as far as it will go.”“Zuko please, can Toshio check you?” Katara asked as he kissed her neck while fumbling with her blanket.“No, they need to leave Kataraha. I’m fine. I want you,” he growled while glaring at the room’s other occupants, “Get out!”“No Zuko, wait please, let him check you. I promise to make it so good for you so long as he says it’s okay to do so. Please,” she implored looking up at him.“Katara…” he growled her name and Katara could tell the correct pronunciation was only due to the abruptness.“You’re hurting Zuko. Let him check you,” Katara pled. She could feel the arm behind him getting stickier by the moment. She needed to do something otherwise he could have a heart attack and bleed out on top of her in a room full of doctors. “Zuko, do you remember the night you took me to see Sokka and Aang after I learned the man in the mask was you. What I did that night was something I learned from Lady Sakura. She taught me other tricks Zuko. Tricks I’ve been waiting for a special moment to perform for you,” Katara’s stomach turned as she made her next offer, “I promise that if you eat something, let Toshio check you, and let me change your bandages I’ll do one for you.”She extended her tongue and licked his lips practically purring, “I promise to do a magnificent trick for you so long as you let us make sure you are healthy.”Katara whispered in his ear describing what she would do and he ground his penis against her. She licked his earlobe and bit it, “Do you want to feel that on your dragon?”“I promise to make it good for you so long as you eat something, let Toshio give you a full examination and let me change your bandages. Will you let me give you that pleasure?” Katara asked pulling away from him so that her breasts were in his face. “Will you let Toshio examine you, me feed you and change your bandages so I’ll have the peace of mind while I fully enjoy your body?”“Katara they need to leave,” Zuko whimpered as Katara withdrew slightly further from him.“No Zuko, they need to check you, then they can leave,” Katara caressed his torso as she moved her hand into position to monitor his heart rate.She leaned forward and kissed him on the tip of his nose, “Then they need to come back and check you again once I’m finished.”“Just to make sure I didn’t hurt you too badly,” she said accenting each word with another light peck deliberately allowing the blanket to fall away so the sleeveless shirt exposed a bit of shoulder.“Kah-tah-rah,” Zuko whined. The Waterbender stood up and pouted, “I can understand if you don’t want me. I made you angry enough to push me away earlier. I took your shirt and I’m wearing it without permission. I even have on a pair of your briefs. I guess it doesn’t matter that this time I remembered to call them briefs instead of manties or man panties. I know how angry it makes you when I refer to them as such.”“Is that why you won’t get checked so I can make you feel good, because I’m wearing your manties?” Katara asked with a sultry pout. Her eyes widened in mock surprise, “I called them manties! Do you want me to take them off? That’s what you usually tell me to do when I call them call that.”Her voice deepened as she mimicked him, “If you can’t call them briefs then don’t wear them. Take them off.”“Do you want me to take off my manties Zuko and see what goodies are hidden inside and what tricks I learned from Lady Sakura?” she asked just out of his reach.“Yes," he whimpered.She knelt on the floor and leaned forward so all he could touch was her face, “Will you eat? Can Toshio exam you? Can I change your bandages? Will you do that so I can …”“YES! Yes you evil woman! Yes!” Mu screamed on his friend’s behalf. “Zuke some of us are married and don’t need to see this while their beautiful perfect wives are happily being faithful thousands of miles away in the Fire Nation. If we were ever friends you will let this she-devil have her way with you and tell me all about it later.”Mu turned to his sister-in-law, “If you say a word about this to anyone, particularly your sister, I will let it be known that we have so many elephant-mice on the Ursa because you open the ventilation duct in your room to feed them.”Ty Lee’s jaw dropped, she loved animals, but not elephant mice. “I…but…” she stammered realizing he knew her secret.“The mice Ty Lee,” Mu said stopping her before she could incriminate herself, “Mice leave droppings and it takes longer for them to come back to the stables.”“You’re the one that got married and left your woman. Do you know how it feels to be left? It’s depressing. Quanli is at home sad, depressed and unwanted because she got left by her husband. Just like I got left by my Katarblar,” Zuko screamed from the other side of the room.He looked at Katara and reasoned as only the high can, “You left me after you promised not to. How do I know you’ll do anything for me if I let myself get poked at? You could be working with them to keep you away from me.”Katara leaned forward giving Zuko a good view of what was inside the shirt she’d hastily thrown on and whispered, “Zuko I was bathing when you called for me. I was so desperate to get to you I reached in the wrong drawer. I am wearing your shirt and underwear. If I wanted to be kept away from you, don’t you think I would have put on something else?"This shirt isn’t like your other shirts. The fabric is different; the others don’t give me the same sensation as they rub against my nipples. It’s smooth and rough, a little like your tongue but dry instead of warm and wet. If I wanted to keep myself away from you I would not have come back and I certainly would not tell you this shirt makes my nipples wish you were well enough to suck them.”“I, or rather we,” Katara said looking down at her breast, “have a selfish reason for wanting you to eat, be examined and to change your bandages. The trick I was going to show you isn’t really a trick; and while her demonstration using the eggplant was rather memorable it is truly not something that I learned from Lady Sakura.”Katara reached out and caressed his cheek as she laid her head next to his, “It’s something I learned at home from the other women when they talked about how much they missed their husbands. It’s something they would to for their men to show their appreciation. In the Water Tribe we call it ‘Eel Fishing between the Icebergs’. In the Fire Nation it’s called ‘Dragon Soaring through Valleys’.”Katara leaned back to allow him to look down her shirt again, “I think these qualify as valleys more so than icebergs. They aren’t that large. What do you think Zuko?""Do you think your dragon would like to soar through my valleys or that they even qualify as valleys?” she said subtilty jostling her breasts with her hands. “Do you think your lips and tongue would like to help my poor spit deprived nipples by giving them the sucking they’ve been longing for?”Zuko nodded.“Why are you nodding Zuko? Is it consent to be examined? Permission to feed you and change your bandages?” Katara asked louder as she rocked back.“Yes,” he murmured scooting forward attempting to follow her.Katara caressed her breasts and pinched her nipples as she reach out to place her hand on his arm, “Which is it? Say what you are agreeing to out loud and on your honor as a son of Agni and Crown Prince of the Fire Nation. Promise me that I can do what is necessary to take care of you?”“So that’s what he meant,” Ty Lee murmured as Zuko swore to let Katara do whatever she wanted to help him. He even promised that he would let Toshio, Amayu, Ty Lee, Mu, Chu-Hua, Fan and Azula examine and he didn’t care if he were wrapped up like an Earth Kingdom mummy so long as Katara got naked with him.After exchanging dating history with Sokka Ty Lee had asked if there was a difference in the girls from the different nations. He had said Water Tribe girls knew how to be sexy but girls from the other nations didn’t. She had taken offense at the time but after watching Katara she was tempted to see if there were any girls close to their age other than Mai and Azula who had gone to one of the girls’ academies. The teasing lilt of the Waterbender's voice making such sinful promises was also having an effect on her. Toshio said gulped a large cup of water and fanned himself while muttering, “She should be taken from the prince, brainwashed, and sent after our enemies,”Mu turned from the wall he was staring at to look at the other male in the room. It appeared he too was having difficulty with the scene in front of him. “Weren’t you over there? Let me guess another man who believes in the superior beauty of Fire Nation women is beginning to understand the lure of the exotic?”“I am but a man Mu,” Toshio said quietly. “Like you I am happily married and my wife is thousands of miles away from here. While I do not share your belief that a man should live like a monk in these circumstances my wife has more than earned my love, respect, and devotion. I am also a physician so I know what a lack of discretion can do to the anatomy. I do not judge others for doing so but I gain no pleasure from causing a female to seek the benevolence of Princess Ursa. We are in a town without a high end establishment in which I can thoroughly examine and procure the most expensive and least used whore.”Toshio watched as Katara helped Zuko to seated position and hugged him as best she could with his injuries. She chastely kissed his cheeks, forehead, chin and hands before hugging him again.The arrogant physician’s shoulders slumped, “I never thought I would envy the prince his Waterbender or regret giving him coca. I thought he was in such poor condition the most common effects of the stimulant wouldn’t affect him. I knew I was taking a risk but I thought it would be better if he were given something to keep him alert in case she attempted to harm him. I was wrong to gamble with his health in that manner. If she is willing to go to such lengths to convince him to be treated then that harridan was correct in asserting he has nothing to fear from her. I may have killed our country’s prince because I was unwilling to trust Dr. Amayu’s assessment of the Waterbender.”Katara cuddled with Zuko a bit longer before calling the doctor over. Zuko cooperated and let Toshio measure his blood pressure, heart rate and temperature. He sat peacefully in the chair with his head on Katara’s chest and wrapped his arms around her as she guided antiseptic over his wounds to clean them. He allowed Ty Lee to cleanse his aura and Toshio to perform acupuncture on him. It would serve as a non-narcotic bridge until the coca was out of his system and another painkiller could be administered.
Arraye: thank you for reading that scene even thought it was disturbing. I’m still overwhelmed that my words get such an emotional response.
Sokka is just as screwed up if not more than she is. He loves her and he feels like a failure each time he sees her with Zuko because he failed to protect her. He’s also jealous that even though she’s been beaten and raped Zuko is the only person who’s done those things to her while he’s been free entertainment. Deep down he knows it is wrong but one of the ways he copes with his own issues is by pushing the blame onto her.
Kain: Don’t worry about it I completely understand and I do appreciate the thought.
Katara is still Katara. She might be in a bind right now but she hasn’t lost her feistiness or will to fight. She’s in survival mode and Zuko is the one who is there to throw her a rope. She knows she’s in too deep to snatch him off the dock and drown him without going down and taking her loved ones with her so she is clinging to him until she reaches calmer waters.
Good ole Fire Nation honor and love for Princess Ursa equals death to those who disrespect her and the safe place she fought to bring into existence. Their legal system is very hypocritical and complex but there are some laws like that one and the lack of discipline for soldiers which can’t be bent.
I’m glad you liked the part about Ty Lee. She’s one of those characters with hidden depth just waiting to be explored. Canon goes into a little of it but I wanted to dig deeper. There’s too much of a “huh WTF?” between her following Azula and becoming a Kyoshi warrior.
