Zuko started to tremble then finally he turned around, dragging Ki away from the palace. "I can't do it" he said softly. "I can't do it. I'll put you on a ship to take you as far away as possible, and if you can get back here, fine".
Ki stared at him in disbelief. "I can't believe this! I can't believe YOU! What the hell happened to 'Shut up' or 'Get lost' or 'useless, stuck up and stoubborn' or...or 'thing'" she exclaimed. Zuko slapped her for the second time that day. "I'M TRYING TO GIVE YOU FREEDOM AND YOU'RE PROTESTING?! WHAT IS WITH YOU?!"

Lie smiled. "Now now, No need for violence. Play nicely you two." She said as she pulled out her knife. Just in case anyone from the palace had heard the commotion. For they were being rather loud.
One thing did stick out on her mind as she twirled her long silver hair waiting for them to be done. Why had he chocked up now? They were so close and it made no sense. Pushing that question , along with a few others, out of her mind. Lie waited for them. 'It might be awhile.' she thought to herself.

Ki bristled. "No, Zuko. What's with you?! We're like, 30 feet fro mthe god damned fire lord and you're backing down!!!" she shouted. (Excuse me. Someone is about to swear) Zuko snapped the chains and yelled at the top of his lungs "GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY FACE!!!!!!".
After this a deadly silence fell. It was so quiet Zuko could hear Ki's tears hit the ground. She didn't know why it had hurt so much, or why she was crying at what he said. She didn't even have the heart to say 'fine'. She didn't have the heart to move, or look away. She just stood there, staring at him as tears fell steadily.
Zuko had also lost the will to speak. He twitched slightly, opened his mouth, shut it. Opened; shut. Then he turned away so no one coudl see him and said gruffly. "What are you waiting for? Go." ((Dundundun O.o ))

The smile had vanished from Lie's face. All she wanted to do now, was leave him a bloody mess on the ground. "You...YOU CAN NOT TREAT PEOPLE THAT WAY!" She exploded. It was the first time in years she's exploded. "I don't know who you think you are." She yelled at Zuko, "BUT YOUR NOT THE RULER OF THE WORLD! And you," She said turning to Ki. "You need to knock it off. HE"S LETTING YOU LEAVE!!" She didn't know why she was yelling at Ki, because Ki hadn't done anything wrong. Maybe she wasn't exactly the nicest sometimes but nothing wrong. "I don't get either of you. Both of you need to knock it off." She said, out of breathe.
That was the first time in about ten years that she'd gotten that angery. It had drained all her engery then, just like it did now. Falling to the ground, she put her hands down to break her fall.

She closed her eyes.
He remained turned away, the slight shuddering of his body betraying his current state (does tears mean anything to fill in any brain gaps you may experience at ths point?).
Her voice shook. "I don't understand though. Why would he bring me all this way and let me free? It's not like him Lie. He's supposed to hate me and drag me away to be tortured. It doesn't make any sense and it makes angry because no one in the Fire Nation is supposed to care. Their not supposed to give it all up at the last second. It doesn't...make...sense. Lie, why is he letting me go?". The last part was so soft Ki wasn;t even sure if she would hear it.
Zuko still refused to turn around. He hated to admit it. But right now he just wanted to hug her. Hug them both and tell them it would all be okay. But he wouldn't do it. He didn't have the guts.
He wasn't strong enough to show them...'my tears'

Lie smiled as she stared at the ground. "The fire nation, is taught to hate. There taught not to care. So thats how they learn. Thats what goes on, generation after generation. Finally after they leave this god forsaken place, they're ways melt away. They regain their care, courage, humanity." Lie said, in trance of her own.
"Then they meet someone they like. Someone not from the same place or not of the same values. They try to.."be where their from" but, when they do what they were told to they can't do it. Let chicken out." Looking up she glanced from Zuko to Ki. "It has happened. It happened to me..........." her voice suddenly got very soft. "I will never forget that."

"I was taught...not to care. And I was kicked out. I thought I would be able to come back if I brought Ki...but," he paused turning. "I don't want to come back. I want to run. Let's get out of here".
Ki blinked, looking at Zuko's tear streaked face and couldn't help giggling. "What?" Zuko growled. "Sorry, sorry. Here..." she handed him a hankerchief and he used it, quickly wiping the liquid from his cheeks. He couldn't help but grin as he gave the damp cloth back to Ki. "Good lord, Zuko. I have found myself a human waterfall" she said, holding it with two fingers. Zuko chuckled hesitantly and the three (small powerplay) began to walk back to the dock.

{{Not an issuse. I would have followed anyway}}
Lie followed in silence. Thinking about so many things all at the same time. Why was she following them? Why was Zuko kicked out? How come he didn't want to return home? Why didn't Ki just run? Looking up at the back of Zuko she smiled. 'one more thing. WHY do you look at him and smile?' she asked herself taking the smile off her face and returning her gaze to the ground.

They got to the dock and Ki paused. "You're sure?" she asked. Zuko looked at her oddly. "Of course. Why else would I walk away?" he asked. Ki shrugged "I don't know. I don't want to force you into anything is all" she said, looking away.
Zuko snorted. "Oh, believe me. If I didn't want to be here; I wouldn't be"
"Hehehe" Ki laughed, grinning at him. "Are you sure?" she teased. "Oh, you're so cold hearted!" Zuko exclaimed, throwing his arms in the air. "Of course I am! I have to be like you to stick around you, don't I?" Ki said with a satisfied smirk. "You..you...waterbender!" Zuko said, for lack of insult. "Why yes, yes I am"((ooc much? ;; Kinda scary XP ))

{{OOC: Nah, its fine.}}
Lie smiled as she listened to them tease one another. 'He's terrible at insults.' she thought to herself still looking at the ground. Her eyes hadn't come up and she was debating following them at all. There was something about him that remind her of someone. Someone, she's perfer to think still alive. "So....may I ask where exactly your going?" She said to Zuko. Not looking up still.

"To some neutral village I'd expect" Zuko said, shrugging noncommitadly. "Sounds like an idea" Ki agreed, nodding. They boarded a ship and Ki looked at Lie. "You should come alone".

Looking up, she smiled. "if you want me to." She said boarding the ship with them. Why she did, she had no idea but she did. She wasn't going to find him in this village or the next one, or the one after that. Yet, she followed them.

"Lie...I don't know who you're looking for, but you'll never find him you know. Sometimes I still wish my Prince was alive, but he died. I was in denial for a long time...but you have to accept it" Ki said suddenly. "You'll find someone else. I might have...I don't know".

Shooting her head up to look at Ki, her eyes flashed with a mix of anger and pain. "I..." She stopped. 'Keep your voice calm Lie. Calm.' she thought to herself. Breatheing in and out a couple times, she collected herself. "Ki, He has to still be alive. I am not in denial, he swore to me we'd meet in this life again." Her smile refused to return. Her eyes just kept flashing between pain and anger.
"And if your going to tell me otherwise, stop. Besides watching you flirt with Zuko isn't helping." She said, trying not to let her emotions seep into her words. Zuko was just like him in so many ways and she hated it. Watching Ki flirt with him like that made her sick in a way. In her mind it was like she was flirting with Skyly. Even if she wasn't. It was hard to explain really. Maybe she was just jealous of them. That they could start to form feelings when she was stuck waiting for someone she didn't even know if he was still alive. 'Stop, your being stupid.' she yelled at herself. 'Zuko and Skyly were completly differen't people.'
Suddenly, she felt her ring in her pocket. Pulling out the ring, she began to cry lightly. Slipping it on, she fell to floor and cried. She just....cried. Her wedding ring on her right ring finger. Shining where she made the slightest movement.
{{To much? o-O}}

((No comment )) Ki fell down beside her and laughed softly. "I can't help it. Sometimes it's hard though...But...even though my lover is dead I...I know how you feel. You wish you could hold them, or feel their arms arond you...and the feeling is just so hard to bear sometimes." she looked up at the sky, her face slightly flushed from holding back tears, knowing it wouldn't help. But as she spoke her voice shook.
"I cry at night...but I know he isn't coming back for me. I wish someone would make the pain go away and Syaoran would keep all his promises to me, but I know he can't a-and I know he won't" she whispered, bowing her head. Then she stood abruptly. "I-I'm sorry. You don't have to see this" she whispered, running inside the ship into their room.
Zuko watched the girls talk and Ki dissapear inside. He watched Lie for a moment, then slowly descended below to Ki. ((They'll all 3 be in the same room. Hope you don't mind))
