Fire Queen

Chapter: 11

I woke up in his arms, he holding me for his dear life, I haven't slept so peaceful in so long, I turned around to face him, leaving a small kiss on his lips, making him smile with his eyes still closed, "Morning" he said in his deep horsy morning voice,

"Morning my lord"

"You don't have to call me that, I already told you," he said, tightening his grip pulling me even closer,

"I will not take my chances, you said that before, and I don't like getting on my knees that much" I mocked,

"You are not going to let go of it, would you?" he asked, I giggled, "No my lord, I won't, after everything you did, I just can't let you off the hook"

He finally opens his eyes, "What will I have to do to make it up" he asked, "We will see, but I promise you, I am not letting you go that easily"

"Now let me go my lord," I said, leaving a kiss on his lips,

"No, not unless you call me just by my name"

I tried to wiggle out, making him tightened his grip even more, "My lord" I warned, he buried his face into the crook on my neck, he did a deep Hmm, enjoying my struggle,

"Okay Zuko let me go" he looked back up with a satisfied smile, "Was that hard now," he said,

"Not as hard as getting humiliated in front of everyone," I said, making that smile vanish, he tightened his grip, even more, making it hard to breathe, "Okay sorry, Zuko please let me go," I said,

He kissed my forehead before letting me go, "Thank you my lord" I said getting up before he can drag me down again, he groaned falling back down,

We ate breakfast in my chambers today, this one was nice, in comfortable silence, in the middle of breakfast Jun walk into the chambers holding a piece of paper and a scroll, she got shocked by seeing Zuko here,

"My Lord, Fire Lady" she bowed,

"Jun good thing you are here, how many meetings do I have today?" I asked, "None," she said,

"None?" I asked confused,

"My lady before Kai left, she already canceled all the meeting for today, she gave me this to give to you," Jun said giving me the paper and scroll,

I opened the piece of paper, "What's written on it?" Zuko asked,

Dear Ryu,

I am so sad that i and Jiang couldn't be there with you on this day like always, I know how hard it is for you, I didn't want you to be alone on this day,
I hope Lord Zuko comes to his senses by now so he can be there, the least he can do,

Your grandma gave me this portrait of your mother to give to you before we left, I didn't because I didn't want your past to haunt your future but now I think you need it more than ever,

I love you, Ryu, remember you always have me and Jiang,

Your better half, Kai

How can I forgot today is my mother's death anniversary, I opened the Scroll, My mother's Black hair, sharp features, and contagious smile, her smile made me smile, as a tear ran down my cheek,

"Ryu are you okay?" Zuko's voice brings me back to reality, I wiped the tear-off, I smile at him, "Yeah I am fine, It's just my mother's Death anniversary, Kai wanted me to have her portrait" I said giving the scroll to him,
