Fire Queen

chapter: 3

"All done," Katara said healing my hand, "Sorry I couldn't help with the scar"

"Don't worry about that I have no problem with scars, I like them, now I will always remember how Zuko owes me his life" I joked, "Thank you" I said putting my hand on her shoulder, they arrive this morning, we told them everything

Zuko and Aang are sitting in front of us, his eyes fixed on my hand, he woke up angry and is still angry, I raised my hand to show him, "See good as new" I said, he gave me a little smile,

"Are you guys ready to see her?" Suki asked walking up to us, "Yeah" I answered standing up, "You are not coming" Zuko said looking at me,

"What why?" I asked,
"Because I said so," he said getting up,

"Zuko that is so unfair, we decided last night that I will" I yelled,

"No we didn't, you did, I heard what you had to say and now I have decided that you are no longer a part of the project" he tried to walk away, I got up to him and turned him around,

"Zuko you are not doing this to me, you have made more progress with me in two days, then you have in months, come on you can't do this, if you wanted a girl who needs you to keep her safe you married the wrong girl, I am more than capable to keep myself safe other than that, I safe your ass, you should be the one out not me"

"Ryu I have made my mind, you have no other option but to obey" he yelled back, I took a step back, I lowered my voice "Obey, I guess when you said we were friends and partners that was a lie, because friends, partners, family don't obey, good to know where I stand"

"My lord" I bowed and turned around to leave, "Ryu" he screamed but I kept on walking,

Who does he think he is, I walked to my room, "Ryu..." Kai was about to say something, "Not Now Kai, Leave me alone"

I walked into my room closing the door behind me, he thinks he can treat me like this, I sat on the bed, he well actually can, I hate this, whenever everything gets better, when we establish something in our relationship he pulls a stunt like this, he has to push me away, he thinks I am someone who needs protection, I am the best bender in my whole freaking island,

I walked out of the glass door and sat on the wall, the birds flying free in the sky, I envy them, how free they must feel, while here I am chained down, first because I had a duty to my tribe and now to my nation, will I ever be free, well not until I love people, you like it or not the people you love holds you down, keep your feet on the ground,

What felt like Thirty- forty minutes he joined me, "I knew you will be here" he said, he is way calmer now, I didn't reply, he sat next to me,

"She is not talking"
"Sorry to hear that" I replied,

"Ryu come on you know I did this because I care about you" he put his hand on my leg I pulled away,
"I don't want your care I want your trust and respect"

"I trust you and respect you",
"No you don't, if you did you will trust me enough that you will believe I can do this other than that you disrespected my skill by doubting it"

"Ryu, I am not doing that," he said, I climbed off the wall, "What will you like for lunch, My lord?" I asked,

"Ryu what are you doing?" he asked confused, "You are not letting me participate in the thing that matter, what left is being your wife so doing that"

"Ryu I am not telling you to do that" he stands up too, "Then what do you want me to do?" I asked,

He turned to the city, "Ryu I just can't put you in danger, I can't let you get hurt because of me"
