Katara

( All characters have been aged up to be at least eighteen)

Katara was feeling a mix of embarrassment and frustration as she made her way thru the Red Light District of Ba Sing Se. Normally she would never come to such a place, if she ever caught Aang or Sokka here she would give then a ear full and then slap them around with a water whip. The only reason she was here, she needed a job. For whatever reason the Earth King, who they still couldn't see. Had denied them any support. So they where on there own, for money.

Aang had made a small zoo, sadly he really didn't make anyone pay. Plus he seem to like staying with the animals. Toph, had made a small name for herself in some combat arena but kept betting her winnings or just spending it. Sokka, he was to busy with this poetry club he meet. They kept inviting him and only him to stay with them. So this left her all by herself.

She tried to find work outside the red light district but there nothing. Heck, what few places that where hiring. Just told her to go to the red light district.

Katara just sighed, as she continued searching. She did find plenty of jobs here, brothels, strip clubs and several erotic female sports where all hiring. Her stomach growled, she haven't eaten anything in a day. She noticed countless men eyeing and mentally undressing her. The only thing stopping her from beating them up, was the fact the red light district was constantly being patrolled by Dai Li agents.

She doubt they would take her side if she cause any trouble. It was getting late and the streets where getting busy. Then she walked passed a giant building with a massive line going around the block.

The Jasmine Dragon, she reed the sign.

It was an all in one brothel, strip club, strip fight, mud wrestling and restaurant.

She just glared at the long line of men. She wanted to so badly to thrash each and ever one of them.

" Pardon me." Said a female voice.

Katara turned around and saw a buxom woman. She long black hair and green eyes. She wearing a form fitting extremely short jade green qipao. It had a cleavage window, showing off a ton of the woman cleavage. The dress was so short, if she bend over she would expose her panties. She was wearing a pair of green thigh high stockings and green heels.

" You wouldn't be looking for work ?" Asked the woman, Katara swallow her pride and nodded.

" Well, we here at the Jasmine Dragon are very short staff. So we're hiring for all positions." Said the woman, smiling.

She looked Katara over, which made the water bender blushed.

" You would make a killing, even as a waitress." Said The woman, smiling.

Katara hated the idea of wearing such an outfit as she severed food to drunken men. She stomach growled once again, it seems her choice where either **** herself or go hungry.

" So interested in a job ?" Asked the woman, Katara nodded.

" Wonderful, my name is Setunna. I'm the main manager here. We got news owner a few weeks ago. The old ones bet the place in a gambling den, a pair of refugees won it." Said Setunna, smiling.

She escorted Katara even, as the men in line smirked and eyed her.

" The owner's nephew is in charge of hiring all new girls. Surprisingly he's very nice and hardly does anything lewd with any of the girls." Said Setunna, smiling.

Katara was shocked by this, she was expecting the owners to be totally pervert who use the girls at there pleasure. Maybe this would be that bad, she thought.

Zuko was sitting at his desk, as he helped with the paper work. He couldn't believe his luck. Him and his uncle came here with nothing. Yet, somehow his uncle won one of the most popular places in the red light district on a Pair Sho game.

Zuko was almost living like a prince again. Even if he could never returned to the Fire Nation, living like this wasn't that bad.

Someone knock at the door.

" Come in." Said Zuko, as he quickly finished the paper work.

Setunna walked, " Master Li, I found a beautiful girl needing a job. Do you have time for an interview ?" Asked Setunna, smiling.

" Sure, we have only gotten more popular since my uncle took over. So we need all the help we can get." Said Zuko, smiling.

" Wonderful, she extremely beautiful and from the water tribe no less." Said Setunna, smiling.

Zuko was a little bit shocked by that, as he didn't thing anyone from the Northern Water Tribe came down here.

Setunna escorted Katara in, both her and Zuko looked at each other.

" Didn't I say she was beautiful, well I leave you to the interview." Said Setunna, smiling. She quickly left and closed the door behind her.

For several moments neither Katara or Zuko said or did anything. He didn't want to fight here, to many people and he didn't want to ruin the reputation of this place. For Katara's part she was completely shocked to see Zuko of all people. Should he be with the Fire Nation, could he be a spy. Katara didn't want to fight either as to many people.

" Listen Katara before you start attacking. Me and uncle are now wanted criminals by the Fire Nation. My father even sent my sister to personally kill me and uncle." Said Zuko, as put his hands up.

Katara looked at him, he wasn't lying. That was something the ex-prince was horrible at.

" So you just snuck in here and somehow won this place." Said Katara, eyeing him.

" My uncle is the best Pai Sho playing ever. You can't blame him, if some drunken jerks bet this place on a Pair Sho game." Said Zuko, smiling.

Katara just groaned, stranger things have happened.

" So why are you here ?" Asked Zuko, as shouldn't she be with the Avatar at the palace or something.

" The Earth King, honestly didn't care if we're here. So me and my friends are on own." Said Katara, folding her arms.

" Really, the Earth King doesn't want to the Avatar here." Said Zuko, this didn't make sense.

Yes, he heard the Earth King was a shut in. Never coming leaving the palace his entire life and only coming out for parties at the palace.

" I know it doesn't make sense but if wasn't true. Why would I be here." Said Katara, glaring at him.

" That does make sense but why would you want to work in the red light district ?" Asked Zuko, Katara signed.

" Because no one else is hiring women. The city thinks women should only work here. It's almost as bad as the North Pole." Said Katara, growling.

Zuko heard the Northern Water Tribe was extremely sexiest and did see almost all businesses outside the red light district down right toss any woman looking for work.

" So are you going to hire me or not ?" Asked Katara, Zuko grinned.

" Sure, if you pass the interview." Said Zuko, leaning back in his chair.

Katara glared at him.

" What, here at the Jasmine Dragon. We only hire the most beautiful women. Are customers deserve only the best." Said Zuko, smirking.

Katara growled then sighed, she should go right now and tell the Dai Li about Zuko and his uncle.

" If you thinking about telling the Dai Li, it wouldn't matter. They're are corrupt as hell. We pay a good amount of gold and offer them free services here. In exchange me and my uncle are protect from any criminal charges and pay almost nothing in taxes." Said Zuko, smirking.

Katara just lower her head, the only leverage she had was gone.

" So how the interview work." Said Katara, as she had no real option.

Zuko just grinned.

" Well first.....
