By the time everyone else was up, Toph had long since ended her teasing, and both Katara and Zuko retained their normal coloring.

The two teens went about their usual routine, Katara handing out breakfast, and Zuko setting himself off on his own, while still remaining in the group, but, to those that were actually looking, they could see that the two were purposefully avoiding each other, albeit, reluctantly. And, the fact of the matter was that one person was actually looking, and what he saw didn’t please him.

Haru quickly finished his meal, and then, stalked out of the hall, leaving his confused friends behind. Katara sent Zuko and Toph a look, and they both nodded in response. Haru knew, and by the looks of it, he wasn’t happy about it.

Haru wasn’t happy about it at all. He paced angrily in his room, making a new plan of action. Obviously, talking to Zuko wasn’t going to get him Katara, so he would have to do it the old fashion way. Bending

With a dark smile, he planned out every move he would use, and every defense against Zuko’s fire. He would win over Katara, even if he had to eliminate Zuko.

Back at the main part of the temple, everyone else was beginning their day. Katara had gathered the dishes, and sent her brother and Aang to clean them, much to their displeasure. They made up for their lack of enthusiasm by having a splash war instead of cleaning the dishes as thoroughly as they should have been.

But, Katara couldn’t find herself able to scold them. She was into much of a good mood to be worked up over anything like that. The other’s noticed, but didn’t pay it any mind. After all, they didn’t want to get yelled at.

While the three of them finished cleaning up, Toph, Teo, and The Duke were packing up the cooking supplies, and getting Momo and Appa feed and watered. And Zuko, well, he was keeping watch. He had a very familiar feeling that something bad was going to happen, and his past experiences told him that when he got said feeling, he better listen and keep his guard fully up, especially now more than ever.

He had someone he wanted to protect at all costs; someone with blue eyes and a warm smile, and it wasn’t Sokka.

Looking over to that person, he watched her move about gracefully, expertly maneuvering through the chaos, giving gentle orders on how to do things, and being everywhere at once.

She must have felt his gaze, because she momentarily paused from her work to look at him, giving him a small smile before hurrying back to the things she needed to do, no one aware of her lapse of attitude other than him.

Smiling softly, he almost forgot the strange feeling of danger he felt, that was, until he was sent flying by a pillar of stone that seemed to appear out of nowhere.

Instincts taking over, he easily flipped over in the air, and kicked off one of the stone pillars, and sent a roaring fire ball toward the bender, a battle cry escaping his mouth.

Everyone stopped their work to see what had happened.

There was Zuko, his fists ready to send fire toward the Earth Bender who attacked him, which was none other then Haru.

“Haru? What did you do that for?” Aang asked, naively wondering why his two friends were glaring at each other with such ferocity.

“Because Aang, he stole something of mine, and I’m taking it back!” The normally mild Earth bender spat out, his gaze flickering to Katara before setting themselves back on Zuko, the shining green color hardened.

“What? What are you talking about?” Sokka asked, confused beyond belief.

“I stole nothing of yours Earth Bender! She is mine and mine alone!” Zuko growled out, ignoring Sokka’s confusion.

“What’s going on?” The water tribe male persisted.

“You have no claim to her Fire Bender! She belongs to me!” Haru said, also ignoring Sokka.

“WHAT IS GOING ON?!” Sokka finally exploded, a look of frustration on his face.

“Haru wants Katara. Zuko has Katara. Katara likes Zuko. Now, Haru hates Zuko, and Zuko wants to burn up Haru. Follow me, Sokka?” Toph finally spoke up, knowing keeping the secret she swore she would was pointless now.

A moment of silence passed. And then another. And then…..

“WHAT?!” Teo, The Duke, Sokka, and Aang shouted at the top of their lungs.

Even Appa and Momo put in their thoughts.

“Yeah, my thoughts exactly. It’s like a freakin’ soap opera here.”

“What do you mean you like Royal Fire butt?! How did this happen?!” Sokka cried out, looking at his sister in disbelief.

“W-Well…it’s a long story. We just started talking one night and then it went from there.” Katara said, blushing slightly at the memories of that night and from her brother’s look.

“Zuko, is this true?” Aang asked softly, looking at his friend with wisdom beyond his years.

“It is Aang.” The prince replied, meeting his gaze steadily, but not letting up his fighting stance.

“You both want this?”

“More than anything.” Katara replied, gazing at her lover with blue eyes filled with emotion.

The Avatar was silent for a few minutes, mauling over his thoughts on the newest development. Finally, he began speaking once again.

“Alright then, that’s all there is too it. You both want this, and we can’t stop you. Haru, I’m sorry, but you need to back down.” He said, giving his friend a sympathetic, but firm look.

The Earth Bender was in disbelief. Even Aang was siding with the Fire Bender. This wasn’t supposed to be like this!

His anger boiled, and he felt raw rage build up inside of him, before it was finally too much to handle.

With a savage roar, he lunged forward, his stance stiff and unmoving, sending the a wave of rock toward Zuko.

He would have Katara. He would battle for what was his.

Almost done with my gift to you all! Only a few more stories to update!
