Chapter 9 Finding Lan
((( Aang )))
” Unfortunately for you there can be only one monster in this world and I am it!” I heard her say before she did it. Sokka had said she had ripped out a man’s heart before but I didn’t want to believe him. She studies the still beating heart in her hands and looks at it curiously for a while before the look turns to that of a wild animal that is hungry.
“ I think Lan solved that debate.” I point to her and we all look at her. I can see the fight in her. One half of her wants to eat it and the other wants to run away screaming. Spirits above Lan has finally lost it.
“ Justice.” She whispers as she drops it into the fire making it hiss. “ My cousin has her justice.” She backs away from us slowly before running out of the tent.
“ That could have been you.” I look at Zuko and he is staring at the place where she was. I see the fight in him as well. Half of him wants to run and slap some sense into her the other cannot wrap his mind around the brutality she can inflict. He cannot believe she killed that quickly without any thought at all.
I know yesterday when I walked in to see Katara covering herself up and Zuko doing the same I wanted so bad to kill them both. It took them a while to explain but it doesn’t help. I know that they are just friends I know there is no love between them like I feel for Katara and Katara does for me but damn it I am hers now and she is mine! I don’t share! I know the Air Nomads weren’t known for monogamy but I am and the Water Tribes are known for their monogamy. I know it was just going to be sex but I still can’t get my mind to wrap around it!
“ No. That was quick and painless. Lan wants me to suffer.” Zuko resigns to tell me as he and Quan take down Zhao’s body to be burned and I know he is right. No matter what lie Lan tells herself she still loves him and to see what he did cut her deeply. I can only wonder what ripping out Zhao’s heart has done to her? Is this the big fall Iroh said had to happen? I fear that she has fallen too far now. I fear she is past the point of no return and with that she will take us all down with her.
                                                                        * * *
“ Did you see that!? You all burned him and he just got up and walked away!?” Sokka screams for the fifth time and I know it’s ticking Zuko off. I mean him and I were there we know. Me Zuko and three of Lan’s Immortals burned the guy.
“ Yes Sokka we saw it. Aang and I do have eyes!” Zuko crosses his arms over his chest hiding the fact that his fists are balled up tight to keep from slugging Sokka.
Lately Zuko has been on a very short fuse. He doesn’t talk to Katara anymore or any of us really. Lately he just does what Lan does and walks away from us. I don’t think he can take much more of this. Honestly I don’t think any of us can. Iroh has been running around like a hog chicken with its head cut off putting out the little fires that spring up among all of us because the strain between Lan and Zuko.
“ I think we need to figure out how do we stop him?” Katara puts in from where her and Iroh are playing four nations.
Anytime lately we are always with Iroh and June. It’s almost like when we were trying to stay one step ahead of Ozai but there is something missing . . . Lan. Lately Iroh has really been busy playing a peace keeper. I wanted so badly to hurt Zuko and Katara and it wasn’t until I came here to June and Iroh that I was calm enough to deal with them. Katara and June were right . . . until Lan wants to talk about it our relationships with each other will remain strained. I am not even going to think about the fight Toph and Sokka have had. Today they aren’t even speaking to one another. June has been trying to get them to talk . . . speaking of June where is she?
“ Katara how the hell do you stop a guy who picks his heart out of a fire puts it back into his chest and walks away as if nothing happens!?” Sokka goes into a very funny re-enactment of the whole thing making me laugh and Katara rolls her eyes. Toph just ‘humph’s and keeps petting Momo.
Zuko and I were there and I still don’t believe it. Zhao was on fire and managed to get up, pick his heart out of the fire and put it back into his chest. The fire that surrounded him was strange. It was black. A soon as his heart was back in his chest he got up and started walking. Zuko and I threw everything we could at him and I might as well have thrown marshmallows at him for all the good it did. We chased him all the way to the bay and it was as if he just disappeared. How the heck do you stop something like that! ?
“ Zhao can be stopped. It’s just a question of how.” Iroh answers after sipping some more tea.” I’ll be right back.”
“ Well I was losing anyway.” Katara lays down her remaining tiles as Iroh leaves the tent and each of us can only sit and stare at the ceiling or each other. Since this war has started, we have all seen some strange and creepy things and they seem to be getting worse as the days go by. It can’t last forever can it?!
“ Have any of you had the feeling that no matter what you do, no matter how hard you try, everything that you do . . . just doesn’t matter? That all we are really doing is ice skating up a hill and in the end it will all mean nothing. Everything we have done . . . all the things we have given up . . . it will all amount to nothing at all in the end and we have done it all for nothing. ”
We all look at each other before looking at Zuko who still hasn’t stopped looking out at the setting sun. We have all had days like these. We have all had days we just wanted to give up and crawl in a hole. We have all had a day where we just wanted to give up but to hear him the strongest willed person I know actually voice it scares me. Zuko has always been strong he has always kept hope when there was none to be had and to hear him admit defeat is a frightening thing indeed. I have always admired him for everything that he has been threw and still he remained the same but it seems that Lan has broken him . . . and I hate her for it!
“ Zuko of everyone here . . . for you to lose hope . . . it’s just not . . . ” Katara restrains herself from going to him out of love for me. Their just friends I know that now. She looks at me and I wave my head in his direction but he is used to Katara trying to make him feel better so he moves away. Katara is about to try again but is stopped.
“ GET AWAY FROM HER!” I know that scream that is June screaming. Zuko is the first one out the door and running.
                                                                        * * * *
((( June )))
I watched Lan throw up after killing that shit. Zhao deserved it. He killed Yue and planned to do the same to us all. I followed and watched her throw up again before going back to her tent. I steel myself and walk in. I don’t care if she throws me out the door I am not leaving this time. I let her go last night and should just walk away but something about her is screaming ‘ Help me June’.
I see her on the floor of her tent kneeling and hugging herself rocking back and forth. I watch her and she looks at me and once again I see innocent Lan. I see the Lan I knew so many years ago before Zuko betrayed her heart. I know he didn’t mean to but he did.
“ June what have I become?” She cries to me and my feet move as I sit next to her. “ June what the hell am I doing?”
I kneel so that I can look her in the eye and she does something I have not seen her do in a very long time. Lan cries and I don’t mean a few tears I mean the knock down drag out heaving cries. She lays her head in my lap wrapping her arms around my waist and bawls. I can do nothing but let it happen. I can do nothing but let her get it all out. I hold her by her shoulders and stroke her hair as she lets go of what has been killing her slowly. I wish I had done this so many years ago.
“ You became the thing of nightmares in order to survive. You lived through what you had to Lan. Let it go. Let your hate go.” I whisper into her hair as I lay my head on hers. I let her go and like I told him . . . Lan came back. This is the Lan I remember.
“ My hate for them is all I have left.” She chokes out.
I am about to tell her that isn’t true when I look up and see Iroh. I feel Lan is suddenly still. I try to roll her over so that I can look at her but she won’t move. I have seen and felt this before. Iroh did the same thing when Zuko turned his back on him. I cannot do this again. I cannot live through this again. I look up at the only person in this world other then the one in my lap that I love and I can see where Lan’s love for Zuko turned to hate.
“ Are you happy now? Are you happy at what you’ve done?! IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED!? IS THIS WHAT YOU CAME TO SEE!?” I can’t help it. I want to hate him. Did it have to go this far? Did she really have to fall this hard?! Iroh moves to her and I scream louder. “ GET AWAY FROM HER!”
I can hear the whole camp in an up roar and I don’t care. I can hear people coming but I can’t see them my vision is blurred with all the pain I feel now. He backs away and I can see through my blurred vision Zuko, Aang, and the others. Zuko comes to us and stops short. He falls to his knees and looks at the mother of his sons and his face is the mirror image of mine. We can’t believe it had to go this far.
“ June I didn’t want this. I didn’t want her to fall this far.” Zuko reaches his hand out to touch her and I can feel Iroh’s arms around me.
“ I know. I know you didn’t want this.” I try to say but I don’t think it quite made it out of my mouth that way. I want to shove Iroh away or fight him or something but I can’t. Right now I am a candle in the wind that doesn’t know what to do with the in coming storm.
“ I didn’t ever want this to happen. I thought I could save her before it came to this.” Zuko reaches out and touches Lan’s face. I know he wants to rant and rave worse then I am but he won’t. He will keep it all in and let it out somewhere and sometime else.
“ This is all my fault.” I look to Katara and can only look at her. I can only watch her face that was once so young and innocent look like an old woman. We were all young once and now we all look so old.
“ Zuko had made it threw to her and I screwed it up. I made the demon come out. Zuko was making it go away and I “ She doesn’t finish. She starts sobbing hard and uncontrollably. I pity her. I pity all of them.
Katara buries her head into Aang shoulder. I should hate her but I don’t. This was not her doing this was mine. I didn’t fight harder. I wasn’t as bad ass as I thought I was. I had a chance to put a stop to this three years ago and I didn’t. I bring Lan up so I can hold her against me and I grip her as if maybe if I hold on tighter she will come back.
“ I can’t lose her! I watched one person do this I can’t do it again!” I hold Lan tighter and begin to rock. I feel Iroh against my back, holding me tighter trying to keep me from rocking.
“ No. You won’t have to do this again. It ends now.” I look and Aang is all glowey. I look down and Lan’s eyes are glowey too. I look to Zuko and he is lying on the ground by Lan’s head and his eyes are closed. Katara is also on the floor and her eyes are closed.
“ They are in the Spirit World. They are the three that have to heal.” Iroh whispers to me. I keep Lan to me and hope that this time I have done the right thing. Iroh doesn’t stop me from holding on to her.
“ Now all we can do is wait.” Suki shrugs and the others sit down and we do just that . . . we wait.
                                                                        * * *
((( Aang )))
“ Aang over here!” Katara calls to me from the tall grasses. I can see her waving her arm and I make my way to her. This is not the spirit world nor is it the dream world. It is that place in between where the spirits can come to us or we can go to them. It is the veil among all worlds. It can be a scary place but lately it is like . . . home. It is more familiar to me than any place else.
“ Aang! Katara! “ We both freeze at the sound of Zuko’s cry.
He calls us again and we run to each other before trying to find him. The grasses are rustling and the light is leaving. Finally we can see his head and run to him and the once vibrant day is turning darker and darker as if a storm is coming. The closer we get we can hear a roar and hiss of something as well as the screaming and shouting of a woman. We’re only a few feet away and we see it. A large Ice blue Dragon trying to burn a flame woman and in between them is a cage with a woman on the floor.
“ What the hell is going on?” Katara aks as we get next to Zuko. The dragon is roaring and freezing parts of the grass and ground while the flame woman is yelling back and scorching the earth. Thank fully for us they are on an island surrounded by some kind of icky black water away from us.
“ This is what she should have done long ago.” All three of us turn our heads to see Yue on the other side of Zuko watching the combatants with a very disgusted look on her face.” Don’t get me wrong, I love my cousin greatly but right now she is being so damn stupid. Let’s not and say we mention what this is probably doing to that little girl inside Lan’s belly right now.”
“ You are what makes us weak!” The fire Woman hisses as she tries to hit the dragon. Her body is in the shape of a woman that is flaming. With each word the flames glow redder and redder. The dragon rear back and freezes the flame with her icy breath. “ Because of you we healed the little bitch when we could have killed her! All our problems could be over if you had let her die! ”
“ You’re the weak one! All you know is war and death! “ She roars back whipping her spiked tail forwards and back while lunging her head trying to bite the woman. With each roar she grows bluer and bluer freezing the ground around her. They are showing signs of tiring. They are panting and now are just circling one another. “ Because of you whole cities lie in nothing but ashy ruins. Because of you we are no better then the megalomaniac on the Fire Nation Throne!”
“ I’ve seen this before.” Katara and I look to Zuko who has his eyes closed and his head down.
“ Of everyone here you are the last person I would think would know . . . but I know you do. This has happened to you before hasn’t it?!” Yue asks him while waving her hand to where the two angry element things have stopped fighting so far and have concentrated on breathing now.
“ When we found you in the Air Monastery ruins! This is what was happening to you!?” Katara’s voice broke in a few places.
“ Yes.” He opens his eyes and watches the two combatants that have started back up calling each other names and bringing all the things they have done wrong to light.” These are two halves of Lan. They both want dominance. With me it was who I was and who I was going to be . . . and mine wasn’t quite this knock down drag out! We can do nothing but let Lan battle herself out.”
“ My cousin has never done anything the easy way . . . then again neither have you Zuko.” Yue turns her attention back to the Island and both the dragon and the woman has stopped fighting but continue to yell at one another.
“ If we don’t do something soon, we will both die here and accomplish nothing!” The dragon roars but nothing else.
“ So what do you propose we do then!?” The fire woman screeches and her flames around her begin to waver.
“ You both survived when you worked together.” The woman in the cage grabs the bars and tries to stand and it is the Lan of old, the innocent Lan that none of us have seen for many years. She is weak from suppression but her voice is clear and strong with her resolve. “ When you stopped fighting each other and made peace only then did we all truly live. I have made peace with the fact I am fire and water. Now you two have to make peace with each other.”
“ She’s right. I will not let any of you leave till peace is made.” We watch Yue glide across the black mess and land softly on the island. She looks back at us and adds.” That includes you three too.”
“ What the-“ I blink and missed it. Katara, Zuko and I are on the Island as well and the black goo has formed a wall around us. I touch it tentatively and it is as solid as any piece of metal.
“ Fine.” Both element creatures resign in unison. The Ice Dragon dissolves first and swirls around in a vapor entering Lan’s nose. The Fire creature does the same as the dragon lifting Lan off the ground and then there is a blinding white light. The Light swirls around Lan bringing her slowly back to the ground. She lands on her feet and falls to her knees.
“ Aang when did you grow hair?!” Lan asks as she finally stands. She looks at my head and I run my hand over my once bald head. I have had hair ever since I came back to the physical world.
“ I have had it for a while now. Yah I know I should probably shave it off.” I rub it some more and feel very self conscious now.
“ Nope. I like it. It works for you.” She laughs as she stands. I want to ask her so many things and tell her so much but I can only say one thing.
“ Lan I am so sorry.”
“ Oh Aang.” She sighs and comes to me holding her arms out. I run into them and she hugs me like she used to like a mother would do for her child.” I am the one who is sorry. You were afraid and lost and did what you thought was right. I should have encouraged you more. I should have told you every day that I believed in you.”
                                                                        *
((( Yue )))
“ I should have told you everyday how much I believed in you.” My cousin tells him and I can see his face is squinched up trying to hold it all back.” I forgive you Aang. I can forgive you anything.”
“ Thank You.” He tells her as he squeezes her again before backing away. That was the easy one. I knew once she found her balance again this would be easy. Katara and Zuko are a whole different matter. Lan is not going to do this the easy way either. I know that there are going to be some words flying and I can’t stop it. I can only let it happen.
“ Aang you can leave this place if you wish. What is going to happen next we do not wish to be around for it.”I hold my hand to him and he looks at Katara and Zuko standing so close together. They have hurt her more than any physical pain that has ever been put on her and the worse part is neither ever wanted to do that to her. ” There is nothing I can do for them. What is going to happen next is among the three of them.”
He sighs heavily looking at all of them before taking my hand and walking threw the wall to the other side of the Island. It is day here which means night has fallen in the Physical world. They have been here longer than I had hoped. It won’t cause any of them any real harm but I had hoped my cousins stubborn streak would have left her but the way she looked at Zuko and Katara I doubt it. It has to be the hard way for Lan. It always was. Sometimes I wonder what would have happened to her if I hadn’t died. Sometimes I wonder that when the war was over if I would have had to be married Zuko to keep the peace or would it have still been her . . . or even Katara. I stop thinking about it because I am dead and she is living and has to deal with it. My cousin has the hard job. She has to live.
“ Can I stay here and wait for them Yue?” He looks at me with those big sad Aang eyes. He has grown up but I still see him as that silly little boy who was so thrilled to see grass in the North Pole. Aang is the type of person that you either love him or hate him.
“ Of course you can. I will stay with you.” He and I both sit down on the grass and watch the clouds pass by waiting for a miracle that is going to take a lot of time and three people are going to get hurt again.
                                                                        * * * *
(((Zuko)))
“So what do you two want from me? ” She is hugging her knees with her back to us. I really haven’t thought about it. What do I want from her? Understanding? Forgiveness? For her to still love me?
“ You are not going to make this easy are you. You are going to be a royal . . . bitch aren’t you?” Katara stands before her with her hands on her hips glaring down at Lan’s head. Why do I have the feeling we are all going to bleed today?
“ What do you expect from me Katara!? For three years you were practically married to my husband and well . . . screwed each other every night . . . ” She screams back as Katara gets on her knees so that they are eye to eye.
“ He did it to keep me alive! He did it to keep me safe! He saved his wife’s sister the only way he knew how!” Katara has toned her voice down and trying to plead our case but I don’t think it is going to work. I know Lan she wants me and Katara to hurt as much as she does.” We didn’t do it to hurt you Lan. None of us ever wanted to hurt you.”
“ Are you going to let her do all of your talking?” She turns away from Katara to look at me with hate. Good she is getting angry. There is hope yet.
“ What do you want me to say that I haven’t tried to already? What can I possibly say or do that will make you believe that I still love my wife and want her back?”
“ Well running to her at the first sign of trouble doesn’t help! Tell me something cause I am just dying to know?” Yes I am going to bleed today. I knew this was coming. I wanted it to happen long before this but still I am ready for it. She is on her feet and in my face and I am not surprised.” All the times you were screwing me were you actually thinking that it was her!? I mean tell me honestly all the times you would say ‘Lan I love you’ in your head were you really saying ‘Katara I adore you and wish Lan could be you?!”
“ Lan stop!!! That wasn’t it at all!” Katara comes between us keeping us away from each other. I have never hit a woman without bending in my life but right now I am willing to make an exception. I had told Lan long ago that I didn’t want Katara and I still don’t for her to even think I wanted this . . . but she wants me to hurt and I can only let her hurt me. Katara is going to try to stop it and that will only make Lan want to hurt her.” If anything it killed him every time he did! It killed him that he had to use me to keep me safe! He would cry every time because he was betraying you! You were and are the one he calls to a night when the nightmares came!”
“ Oh please could you tell the truth for once in your life Katara?!” She screams back and now they are in each others face screaming.” You wanted it to happen! You were happy for the chance to fuck him! You have always wanted to know what it was like! You always wanted to know what it felt like to be fucked by him and you loved it!”
“ So what if I did! Yes I did enjoy it but it was only sex Lan! Yes I wanted to know what it was like! I know now and don’t want it! Curiosity isn’t a sin yah know! Sex without Love is just sex! That was all it was!” Katara screams back and now they are shoving each other. I should stop it but . . . I think I would just make it worse.
“ You’ve won Katara! You have him now! Aang believes every lie you tell him about how you love him! You have Aang and Zuko wrapped around you freaking dark-skinned finger! So take your victories you little whore and leave me be!” She screams at her and slaps her hard across the face.
“ You stupid bitch you still aren’t listening to me!” She screams and tries to hit Lan back which only makes them fall on the ground and what was once a screaming hitting match has now turned into a tearing off clothes kissing match.
I try to move and stop it but my feet will not move. I can only sit on the ground and watch as my wife and her water sister are completely naked sweat glistening off them their hair wild looking as they are touching each other everywhere. I can only watch as Lan’s hand disappears between Katara’s thighs and Katara’s disappears between Lan’s. Soon Katara is moaning and bitting Lan’s shoulder. Even my fantasies aren’t his wild.
“ Oh my!” I look beside me and Yue is in utter shock just watching in disbelief as I am.
“ I knew something was going to happen but this?!” If my mouth hasn’t dropped to the ground, it has now.
“ Ocean and moon spirits Aang and Zuko could learn some things from you! “ Katara screams as she throws her head back. Katara has ignored her attentions on Lan and now Lan is using both of her hands to worry Katara’s very hard and taught nipples as Lan’s head is now between Katara’s legs
“ Well would you rather they fight it out!?” Yue tries to keep her attention on me but like me we both have to look. It’s like a train wreck you want to not watch but you’re compelled to.
“ No. This is much better then what I thought would happen.” Actually even I could not have dreamed this up. Even I did not think this would happen but I think I know where Katara is going with this. At least I think I do.
“ Hang on Zuko it’s about to get wilder for you.” Even as Yue evaporates into mist her snow white hair is still shaking and her laughter still fills the space that she has left.
Katara is gasping for air and I see her motioning me the best she can to come to her and Lan. I do kneel behind them and Lan lifts her head as Katara has climaxed again. She looks to me but Katara claims her mouth. With her free hand she is pulling at my pants and I take them off. I know most men would have already jumped and would be having the time of their lives but one wrong move and the point I think Katara is trying to make will be for nothing.
“ Lan kiss Zuko.” Katara tells her as Katara’s fingers lightly run themselves up and down that nice cinnamon triangle between my wife’s legs.
Lan does finally kiss me very tentatively and slowly at first until Katara’s fingers enter the heaven I wish to be in. Soon Lan has her nails raking the back of my head trying to consume me through my mouth. I feel Katara take my rock hardness into her hand and position me to enter the line of her heart-shaped butt. Before I can protest she has scooted and I am so far inside her I can feel Lan’s fist on the other side.
Katara has set the rhythm as her head is thrown back over my shoulder. Lan is assaulting her dainty v with her fist while I am behind her assaulting her other passage. Katara is gripping my hips hard and I can feel her nails bitting into my flesh but I don’t care. They, we aren’t fighting and that is what matters now. Soon Katara is gripping Lan’s fist to stop and she does. She kisses Katara full on the mouth and I have stopped not wanting anything I do to mess this up but I am not satisfied. I am far from it.
“ What now? I whisper into Katara’s ear and I am not sure if she laughed or Lan did.
“ Now Its Lan’s turn.” Katara smiles at me evilly as she stands up and positions Lan in front of me with Lan’s back to me.
Soon Katara is flat on her back and feasting between Lan’s legs. I can only hold Lan and feel her body react to the carnal pleasures that Katara is delivering. I can feel Lan’s reaction to Katara’s stimulus and decide to add some off my own. Once again I take the familiar weight of Lan’s ample breasts into my hands and gently rub them and squeeze them in equal measure. Lan’s back begins to arch and she grinds her hips as much as she can into me causing me to groan in her ear with longing.
Soon I cannot wait and try to get Katara to stop so that I can take over but Katara drives me hard into Lan’s back side. I freeze not knowing if I have hurt her and she turns her head and I claim her mouth as my own as I keep going in and out of my wife enjoying every moan and gasp of pleasure emanating from her. It seems so much louder here then in the physical world for every gasp and sound echos causing heat and shivers to run up and down my spine. Lan’s free hand that isn’t holding on to me is working itself in and out of Katara’s wet passage and I can feel both girls are so close. I can hear and feel everything they do and I believe this is so wrong but I can’t stop. It feels all too good.
Katara has made Lan’s hand leave and now Katara and I are bent on one thing . . . Lan’s pleasure. I felt Katara’s wash over and around me but the building in Lan’s is incredible as well as my own. This one pleasure that I have has been denied me for so long. I savor ever moan gasp and call of my name that comes from her as I posses her mind and body once more.
All too soon Katara has brought Lan over the edge as her body spasms uncontrollably and her skin feels on fire. Katara comes crawling up Lan’s body like a hungry cat. She presses her mocha skin to Lan’s pale one and holds her. She looks to me and I can only see Lan in Lan’s name I am not sure. I open my eyes and see Katara’s smiling face before she gets up. I hold onto Lan a little longer to me while her breathing slows and Katara has already begun to find her clothes. Lan does not struggle to free herself from me until Katara comes back on her knees fully clothed.
“ There were all even. We have all enjoyed each other separately and together.” Katara laughs as she takes Lan’s hands into hers.
“ You’re crazy.” Lan whispers as she tries to get out of my grasp. I am so drained I can do nothing but let her go and watch her curl up in a sitting position ball with her back to me.” I still can’t believe we just did that.”
“ Maybe.” Katara will not let it alone. She needs closer and so do we all. She comes to her friend handing Lan all her clothes.” But now we can all-“
“ No, we can’t.” Lan snatches her clothes back angrily and jerks them on herself.” We can never go back to the way we used to be. We have all changed too much for that. I mean look at what we just did. The Katara I know would have completely gone mental if anyone even suggested that and Zuko I am not even going to go on how many issues you just worked out here but couldn’t . . . ”
She turns away from me and will not finish it. I know what she was going to say. ‘Why couldn’t you and I have done this long ago? Why did Katara have to help?’ I would have gladly let her do anything to me at all if I thought she would have come back to me. I would have let her tie me up. . . . and do anything at all to me she wanted if I thought for a second she would come back to me.
“ I admit that but, you still do . . . ”
“ Look, all of you here and there are important to me yes.” Lan stands up and takes Katara’s hands into her own but she doesn’t look at her. “ I will give you that but that is as far as it goes. I don’t hate you anyone well, Zhao and Azula and Ozai are still on my hit list . . . Point being I don’t want to hurt anyone . . . be happy with that.”
“ I guess I will have to be. The rest is between you two now.” Katara sighs and hugs Lan tightly and unlike with me Lan let’s her and actually looks as if she is enjoining herself. I have finished dressing myself and Yue has come for Katara. I don’t know how I know but I just do. Now it is only going to be Lan and I and the demon, curse, or whatever has come between us.
“ Yes it is. Are you going to tell Aang about this?” I know it is none of my business but I had to ask. Lan has her back to us. I don’t want anything to come between her and Aang like what has torn Lan and I apart. If I can save Katara and Aang all of this, I will.
“ Should I?” She looks to the wall and back. It doesn’t matter. We only did this in our mind but not with our bodies but still he has the right to know.
“ I would . . . but not today.” I tell her and she is about to leave with Yue when she asks one last thing.
“ Can I trust you two to work it out without me . . . I mean of course you can but will it come to blows? Are you two going to hurt each other!?” She looks around me to Lan who will not answer her.
“ No.” I tell her and try to smile reassuringly but I can’t. Knowing my wife, it just may come to them.
“ Maybe . . . I dunno.” Lan still has her back to us but at least has given an answer.
Katara sighs heavily and takes Yue’s hand.” Okay. I love you both.”
I squeeze Katara’s hand and watch her leave with Yue. Now it is Lan and I. She will not look at me so I sit next to her on the cool grass within arms reach. I have wanted to tell her so many things. I have also wanted to ask her to forgive me for not thinking ahead of what to do but I don’t think it will work now. It would be selfish now to say all of those things and she doesn’t want to remember the past anymore. She doesn’t want to remember the short life we had together. She only wants it to be over now. She only wants to forget. I can’t blame her. I want to ask her if our positions were reversed and she had to use her body to . . . I don’t know, save our children would she? I know the answer to that and looking at her from her point of view it is a hard thing to swallow . . . but I have for many years now. If she did have to do it I would understand and forgive her instantly.
“ So what do you want from me?” She finally aks me what I knew was to come. Yue has let the black wall down and we can see the setting sun. I know Lan is cold. She always said she was coldest when the sun and the moon passed each other. I so desperately want to hold her but now I will have to wait till I am invited. I know what I truly want from her but she is not ready to give it . . . not yet. The fact that she is here now and not trying to kill me is a big leap for her. I must settle for the little things now.
“ Will you let me hold her . . . when she is born!?”
“ How the hell did you know it was a girl! ?” She looks at me ready to spit fire.
“ Yue.”
“ Big mouth.” She mumbles and looks back to the sun and shrugging.” You’re her father. You have some rights to her. I guess so.”
“ And when this is over what about my sons? ” I have to be careful now. I want her back at my side. When this is over, I will need her but for now I have to walk on eggs shells or this un easy peace I guess you would call it will be shattered.
“ Look you . . . ” Her hand has come ready to slap me and I grab her wrist only to stop . . . not to hurt.
“ I am not insulting or insinuating Lan. I am asking you as their Mother who has taken care of them on her own who has done everything . . . alone . . . if I can see them when this is over?” I have her held lightly and she can get out of it easily but she hasn’t. I hold her wrist between us and look at her eyes that I have always loved to see. Those big blue eyes of hers that remind me of the sea. I once hated the sea. I hated it because I was exiled to roam it looking for Aang. Now I find comfort in the waves washing on the shore. It is also because of the sea I found this woman.
“ I...I...I guess.” Lan was always sure of herself and for her to stutter now . . . I am going to try. I move her closer to me by her wrist and she moves to my side easily. I can feel her fighting herself. I can feel her skin is itching with desire and her mouth is slightly parted like when she would want me to kiss her. Do I dare try?
“ Will you come home with me?” I whisper and whatever spell I had her under is broken. Her eyes have turned to a steely blue as she backs her head away from me.
“ No.” She states as she frees herself from me more forcibly then she has to. Lan stands up and begins to wade into the black goo to the other side. I cannot see Yue or anyone but I know Yue is here for Lan is now stuck, waist deep in the black goo. “ Yue!!!”
“ I think your cousin is trying to tell you something.” I kneel on the bank and try not to laugh at her being stuck.
“ Look. You and I have children together. I will let you see them and be apart of their lives be happy with that!” She screams at me while Yue is trying not to snicker behind her. I do my best not to either but if Yue keeps it up I am going to lose it.
“ I want my whole family back.” I reach my hand out to help her but she slaps it away.
“ Ha that is a laugh. Ask your uncle about your ‘whole family’!” As soon as she says it she begins cursing herself. Yue’s hair whips up as she stomps her foot and Lan is up to her chest in the goo. I will have to ask Uncle what she means later.
“ All right! All right! “ Lan screams as she begins to sink into the black goo more. I pull her up by the hand that is free. “ What exactly do you want!?”
“ Do you love me!?” I know that is the dumbest question I can think of but I need to know. If she says yes there will still be hope and I can build from there.
“ No.” Lan has figured out that she is the one who is really in control and has left.
“ Why does she have to do this!? Why does it have to be this way!? “ Yue screams and stomps her little foot.
“ Because it’s easier for her to run from me then to face me.” I watch the black goo turn into water and then a solid sheet of Ice. I tentatively walk across it and look at Yue. She is my only way back now.
“ Why haven’t you given up by now . . . and moved on!?” Yue and I begin to walk through the grasses to where I entered this world at.
“ For the same reason you haven’t and never will . . . I love her Yue.”
                                                                        * * * *
“ Katara . . . what . . . has . . . come . . . over you!?” I manage to get out through more heavy breathing. This is the fifth time I have taken her and she doesn’t show signs of stopping anytime soon. I don’t think I can take much more. It’s now beginning to hurt. I never ever thought I would have too much of Katara. Ever since she came out of the spirit world, last night she has been this way. I have been doing this all morning.
“ No words right now Aang!” She rasps as her nails dig into my shoulders.
I know she has got to be sore from being taken from behind all the way to now up against a wall but she keeps begging me fore more. I have come in her so many times now I have lost count and still her hot little box craves more. I am her slave and I obey as I pick up the pace and pound her harder. Her cries of ‘more’ and ‘yess’ fuel me and her nails raking me is torture but what her body is doing to me is worth it. I feel as Katara ‘s body tightens again and the release like a quiver and using my earth bending dig my fingers into the earthen wall to keep us up right!
“ Aang! Aang! Please I can’t take anymore!” That cry alone has driven me insane as I grab her hips and slam into her one last time causing her to cry out either in joy or pain as I fill her one last time for the day. I feel as if my brain has come out through me and into her but I still manage to get us safely to the floor before we fall and hurt ourselves.
“ Katara what happened to you in the Spirit world?!” I finally manage to ask once I get all my breath back.
“ Aang you know I love you right!?” She presses her soft skin into me and I am putty in her hands. She could tell me right now that her Zuko and Lan are planning a three way and I wouldn’t care. I would even tell her to bring them here and let me watch . . . Whoa!!! Talks with June are starting to get to me.
“ Yes.” I begin to rub her back like Zuko told me she like and she begins to purr just like a cat. I love it when she does that.
“ Lan and Zuko and I had . . . to . . . well . . . ’do’ something to get us over it all.” She shrugs and looks into my eyes and I just know what it was. They did have a threesome in the spirit world. She looks at me as if any moment I am going to get a glowey and go on a rant . . . but I’m not.
“ You had to have each other. You had to prove that with just you and Zuko it’s sex but throw her into the mix and it’s still just sex for you but for them it is something deeper.” June’s talks were her way of telling me what was going to happen. It was her way of warning me that things were going to get weird. I really like June now.
“ Yes.” Katara is on the verge of tears either with joy or . . . guilt.
“ Katara it was in the Spirit World. It doesn’t count. Besides did it work!?
“ I don’t know. I think it did but not as well as I had hoped.”
“ Only time will tell . . . for now, I need sleep.” I bring my arms to wrap around her holding the love of my life to me.
“ What about your bending training!?” She tries to get up and pull me up but I don’t let her.
“ Fuck it! The world has waited for me for One Hundred and three years now . . . They can wait three hours!”
                                                                        * * * *
((( Zuko )))
“ That was . . . very intense.” I awaken and my mind is so tired but my body is far from it. I look around as I sit up and I know I am in Lan’s tent. She looks down at me curiously while standing over me and that is when I can smell it, taste it, whatever you wish to call it. All males human and other wise can tell when their mate is in heat and with Lan I can taste it. It’s thick and rich and she is fighting it. I don’t plan to fight it. I plan to use it.
“ Yes it was.” She walks away from me and looks over her table of maps. She begins rifling through them trying to ignore me.” If your well enough to walk I would like you to leave.”
“ Once I find my legs first.” That comment alone will buy me a few minuets but soon she will demand I get out.
“ Fine. Once you do there is the door.” She points to the flap still intently ruffling through the tattered maps hoping to drown me out. I am tired of her walking away. I am tired of her running from me. It’s time she face me head on like we have always done . . . in the past.
“ We didn’t finish our conversation. You left in the middle of it.” I stand up and test my legs. I can walk just fine and I am ready for a more physical labor.
“ Yes we did. You will be apart of your children’s lives . . . as for me . . . you are no longer a part of mine.” She is still fighting it. I have changed. I will not leave that easily. It is not over for me. I stand next to her and look at the map that seems so important to her right now. The green dots are us and the reds are The Fire Nation . . . so far all the red dots have been pushed back to the harbor.
“ No. The children you and I are-“
“ Look!” She finally turns to look at me and I can see it. The lust has built in her so much it has turned her eyes’ violet.” You are only good for one thing and one thing only right now. So if you have the energy I suggest you shut your mouth, drop those pants bend me over this table and fuck me till I can’t walk. Otherwise, take you and your conversations out of here.”
“ I have more energy then you can handle my little flower!” I growl at her as I kiss her brutally and rip the black silk from her body. I kick my boots off not caring where they land. I stop kissing her only to spin her around and push her so that she is leaning on the damn maps she thinks will replace me. I get my pants down far enough only to release the tool of her punishment. I enter into her harshly and she arches her back up to it like a cat in heat. I dig my fingers into her hips and move her back and forth over my length reveling in the harshness of it.
“ Spirits above Zuko don’t stop!” She cries as her hands fling the papers away and her nails begin to leave rivulets in the wood. She throws her head back causing her hair to fly up and back in a great red wave.
“ Why do you like it this way!?” I growl as I wind my hands in her hair and pound her harder and harder as her succulent oyster just takes it all.
“ There is nothing wrong with this. There is nothing wrong in dominating your part . . . t. . . . ner.” Her skin is glowing with her exertion to explain and to enjoy. Soon her hips are rocking back as I slam forward. We have set a very frantic rhythm.” There is nothing wrong as long as I like it. There is noting wrong . . . with . . . you . . . showing . . . me . . . who . . . is . . . MASTER!”
She screams the last part and I feel her squeezing me and taking every last drop of me into her. I have not flagged. I have waited too long for this. If it takes me all day and her legs are sore I don’t care. I have craved her to want me and accept me for too long.
“ So you like to be dominated over!” I flip her over still staying inside her and pin her to the table by her wrists. She flings her head back and forth as her legs wrap themselves around my waist. “ You didn’t like me being gentle?”
“ Gentleness has its place . . . but not now!” She tries to free herself and I know deep down this is who I am. Every now and then I wanted to do this. I know now that she knew and it was all right for me to do this. It was okay to let the animal out to meet hers. ” Right now I want the real Zuko. I want his animal and mine to finally have each other!”
“ As you wish.” I pull her so that she is standing. I use her hair to keep her head back. She lifts her leg and wraps it around me as we use the table for support. I nip her neck harder then I normally would but she doesn’t seem to mind and primal noises of pleasure wind their way out of her core and into mine.
We do this all through the morning and into the afternoon. Soon we are lying on her bed panting and covered in welts from each other nails. I have had her against a wall bent over a chair and her damn desk and now I want one last way. I do not like it when a woman is on top of me since what happened to me at the Jade Pavilion and she knows this. I hope with this one gesture I can bridge the gap between us. I roll her so that she is on top of me and feel her hairs tickle my chest as she sits up and looks at me with surprise.
“ Zuko! Are you sure . . . I mean . . . ” I put my finger to her mouth to silence her and use my other hand to push her back. Her swollen little v passes over my length causing her cinnamon curls to scratch and torment me with sweet desire.
“ I want this.” I breathe to her as I slide her back and forth over me coating me with her essence. I lift her hips slightly and slide her back one last time to feel that I have entered into her as far as I can go. She closes her eyes and brings my hands to her swollen pink nipples and I pinch them as she sighs and rocks her hips that were made for pleasure back and forth. Her hands move over my chest and down to my stomach as she uses me for leverage. I am aching to release and show her my devotion but I hold it back and wait for her.
“ Zuko my love do not wait for me.” She sighs and I sit up so that I can swallow her cries of pleasure.
I force my tongue into her mouth just as she is taking me into her. I can feel the heat in her stomach building as it is in mine. I can also feel our daughter enjoying the rocking motion and the warmth we are offering her. I feel Lan’s velvety walls bringing me in deeper and caressing me that soon I cannot control myself anymore and I thrust my hips upward to spear that one spot inside her that always brings her to finish. I swallow her scream into me as her body spasms from her release. I fall back to the bed with a thud and feel that comforting weight of Lan panting on my chest. Soon she is breathing slowly and deeply and I know that she is asleep and I am still deep inside her.
                                                                        * * * *
((( Lan )))
I wake up and my thighs are so sore. I crack an eye open and can see the sun is slowly setting as it peaks threw my tent. I feel something is inside of me and look down to see a male chest has become my pillow. I sit up quickly and realize I have fallen asleep and Zuko has to. I move my hips a little and he only turns his head with his eyes still closed. I cannot keep the evil grin from spreading as I move my hips a little more enjoying every bumpy vain as it rubs itself inside me.
Should I keep doing this even though he is asleep? Is it wrong to give myself this one devilish decadent pleasure that his body is more than willing to give me even though his mind isn’t in it? I tell myself ‘OhhhhYeahhhhh!’ I have always craved his body and last night proved it. I know I was weak and screamed I loved him. I know that this is a weakness I will have to drive from me somehow but I don’t care right now.
I try not to ruin my pleasure with those thoughts he is asleep and I can enjoy myself with him. He is moaning but his eyes are still closed and he probably thinks he is dreaming. I am so wrapped up in this sinful vice of mine that when his hands slowly make my way up my sides I think nothing of it. I also think nothing about his skillful hands slowly making their way to my aching breasts. I think that he is still asleep and dreaming for my eyes are closed. I think nothing of his gasps as I move my hips till I find that one little spot that he usually finds on his own that just sends fire throughout my body. I can feel his royal princelyness is quivering inside of me sending more ripples of pleasure threw my body.
“ Are we ready for more my flower?”
                                                                        *
((( Zuko )))
“ What the!?” Her eyes snap open at my announcement that I am awake. She gasps as I grab her hips sealing myself inside her.
“ I have been awake for some time. I did not want to throw your concentration off.” I tell her as she groans that I have moved myself to find that one spot in her body that makes her open for me like a flower does for a bee.
“ Oh you demon!” She hisses with a smile as her nails run across my shoulders and down my chest sending delicious pain to pull at my already aching groin. It is not deep and goes away after a few seconds but the sensation lingers.
“ Yes but I am your demon!” I tell her as I sit up and take one of her bruised nipples into my mouth. I graze it lightly with my teeth and cannot help the laugh in my throat at hearing her breath hiss between her clenched teeth. Her fingers are in my hair as she holds me to her engorged breasts. I run my free hand up and down her back feeling her soft skin beaded with sweat.
“ Zuko finish us now!” She begs and I can feel her well used swollen lips tightening more and more around me as I raise my hips as hers comes down. I let her nipple graze my teeth as it comes out and I lie down on the bed to give me better access inside her. I can feel that little kernel between her lips growing harder and harder with each thrust we give one another. Soon she is crying out with her violent release and my cries match her as I quiver inside her. She collapses on my chest breathing I love you’s.
“ As I love you.” I whisper into her hair and wrap my arms around her.
“ That was great!” She breathes as she falls off me. I watch her try to get up and wince at the soreness of her tender thighs. She wraps a sheet around her and slowly stands on her feet propping herself up on her dresser. “ Now get out.”
“ Sex was never a problem between us Lan.” I sit up a little and rest my weight on my elbows. I then use my feet to try and get that damn sheet off of her. She backs away and finds my discarded pants.
“ No, it wasn’t.” She throws them in my face and backs all the way out of her sleeping area and into her receiving area. “ That was all it was today . . . just sex and now we’re done. So get out.”
She ties the sheet tighter around her and waits at her tents entrance for me. Damn her right to hell. She is cold. I jerk my clothes back on and stomp into my boots she has thrown at me. I want her to hurt now. I am tired of just taking it from her. I have taken it all from her enough. I can only say I am sorry so many times. After all that was said . . . after all that we just did . . . for her to throw me out like this is more than I am willing to take!
“ If I wanted something cold to be with I would have married and Ice Berg!” I jerk the flap open to see that she is fully dressed in her Water Tribe finest and glaring at me.” Should you ever require to be serviced again I may be available . . . I would have to see. There are warmer bodies than your highness!”
“ Don’t you ever forget it!” She looks at me and her eyes are red. Good we are going to fight. It’s about time.” That I am from a royal line!”
“ I am as royal as you are!” I shout back at her.
“ Last time I checked I am the one who is a Queen and you are still just ‘Prince Zuko’.” She sneers as she gets into my face. I hate her. I want to bite her slap her . . . just plain fight her!
“ At least my Father isn’t a traitor!” A soon as it comes out, I want to take it back. Her father was an honorable man and that was low even for me. I can feel the steam rising off of her and before I can apologize she is screaming at me again.
“ At least I know who my father really is!”
“ What!?” I grab her ready to shake her and she slaps me so hard I am seeing stars!
“ Ask the man you call ‘Uncle’ who your real father is!” She backs away from me before screaming so loud . . . ” NOW GET OUT OF HERE!”
I leave her tent before I do or say something more that I will regret later. I take a few steps before cursing her and blowing fire burning something at the entrance of her tent to ashes. That is the second time she has made a comment about my family. It’s time now to get those answers from Uncle. His and June’s tent is not very far and I storm in that direction hoping to have some answers and some peace.
