Introdution
Welcome to volume two of the Nobody's Listening Trilogy! This volume, sure to contain 35 chapters, will in my opinion, be the cherry on the icing of this series. In this book, you are to find all of the classical elements of story telling: Romance, Drama, Suspence, Action, Murder, Lust,
Betrayel... Just to name a few. You might be shocked, you might be appalled. You might say "How scandalous! That's sexy!". But no matter what your reaction to this book is, you are sure to find at least one chapter remotly interasting. That is my job. To make sure, you, the reader, is satisfied with my writings. Comments of all kinds are welcome. Flame me, commend my efforts, or even say you like the story. All are accepted with open arms. And just a little note - the more reviews recieved, the happier the author!
Signing out-

The wind blew wildly. It was the wind that only appeared before winter faded into spring. An icy chill of a wind that wipped Katara's hair free of it's gilded hair combs. Katara struggled aganist the current as she tried desperately to pile her hair onto her head once more.
"Damned wind..." Katara muttered as she dropped her basket of fresh laundry to the ground. The contents of the wicker weaved basket had now fallen onto the dusty ground. As Katara muttered more curses and retrieved her clothes, she heard a laugh from behind a tree. At hearing this fimilar laugh, she got to her feet, slowly turing to face her stalker.
"Aang..." She moaned with anger. "Sorry... But I like seeing your hair down!" He said in a childish way, walking towards his wife. "Yes. That's all fine and dandy, but I really don't like re-doing it every time you send a wind to bring it down. And look at this-" She shouted as she pointed to her soiled laundry. "- your clothes! I have to rewash them!" She complained as she leaned down and tossed his robes into the basket. At this point Aang felt guilty at what he had done. "Why do you work so hard? I could do my laundry myself." He said in a meek tone. "Yes, but it is my duty as your wife to make your life as simple as possible." She said with spite as she walked to thier manor.
"Aww, Katara, don't be mad!" He pouted as he walked up to her. "Look- I have cleaned for you, cooked for you, even bore your child. But please,
don't make it more diffacult than it already is." Katara said with venom as she entered the house.
By this time, Aang was so mad at himself about what he did, he took the basket from Katara's hands. "You, take the day off." He said in a faux demanding voice. "What?" Katara questioned, looking stunned. "Go read, go swim, even go shopping! Just get out of this house and let me get to my cleaning!" He said with a smile as he nugged his wife out the door. "Why are you doing this?" She asked him. "Cause, I want to let you relax. The only thing you do is clean and take care of Miho. Tonight, you are mine. So, be ready..." He said as he kissed his wife on the lips before he closed the door in her face.

Katara and Hina sat at the water's edge on the beach. The noon-time sun high in the sky.
"So, Kat, that's what he really said!" Hina said in a playful mocking tone. "Yes... And boy, I can't wait..." Katara said with a blush as she leaned back onto the sand, squishing her toes in the natural exfolitent. "You are lucky your husband still loves you in that way..." Hina said with remorse as she placed a dramatic hand on her fore head and leaned her head back. "Kiddin, this man, who said he loved me in every way concivable - has taken a mistress!" She said with an overly dramatic sigh. "WHAT!" Katara asked, shocked at she sat up.
"Yes - Kiddin says he tires of off my wearysome ways!" Hina said with a laugh. "What a loser. Thats all I can say. The man my father chose for me to marry is the scum of the earth!" She shouted to the heavens. Katara let out a laugh. "Hina, I'm sure, he will choose the mistress - then you can marry Kazunari!" Katara said as she got to her feet. "I hope so - Kiddin - I hate the man, oh, wait, I mean - boy!" She joked with a sly tone.
Katara slowly got up off the sand, dusting off her buttocks and thighs in the process. "Well, when you get rid of pretty boy, tell me... I would love to see him leave..." Katara said with a sigh as she headed back to her home. "Katara, where are you going?" Hina asked as she sprinted to Katara's side. "Home. Where else?" She asked with a raised eyebrow. "Well... Don't ya wanna come into the city with me and do a little shopping?" Hina asked with a cheesy smile. "How can I resiste that face?" Katara said in a mock tone as she pinched Hina's cheek. "Katara, let's go!" Hina said as she linked her arm through Katara's.

Aang sat with Miho at there giant cedar dinning table. "So..." Aang said with mild bordum. "I'm hungry." Miho stated simply in her childish voice.
"What do you want to eat?" He asked with a raised eye brow. "I want... um... some dumplings! With some candies! And some sweet rice!" Miho said with excitement as she started hopping up and down. Aang grimaced at the sight. "How do you make dumplings?" He questioned with a slightly scared look.

Katara sat oggling the most exquiste bracelets she had ever seen.
"Hina! Just look at those!" She almost screamed as she pointed to a batch of gold bangles with sapphires embedded within thier elegant carvings.
"They look just like my favorite combs..." Katara mumbled as she counted her coins. "Hina... do you think I could borrow some money?" She asked,
gving her a pleading look. "Ahh, Kat, you don't have to ask!" She said in a dissapointed tone as she through her bag of gold coins at her best friend.
Katara gave a squeal of joy upon reciving the sack. "Thanks Hina!" Katara said as she paid for her set of bangles.
There day went as planned. Over spending on things they really had no use for. Brillant tunics in colors that flattered their respective pallets. Katara had bought many tunics made with silks dyed spring blue, oceanic turqoise, and a percular shade of olive green. Hina had stuck to the colors she had grown to love. Light pinks, dark mauves, and the occasional red wine where all found in her newly purchased wardrobe. As the young women walked home,
expensive purchases in hand, a thought struck Katara.
"Hina..." Katara asked as she froze in her tracks. "What? What's wrong?" She asked with worry as she looked to her friend. "I just remebered - - - Aang can't cook"
She said with horror as she ran home to her husband and child. When she came to her front door, she hoisted it open, dropping her things on the teak flooring.
"Aang? Where are you? Miho?" She called.
"In here!" Aang shouted from down the hall. Katara drew in a sigh of relief as she gazed upon the sight before her: Aang held their daughter on his lap while she played with her doll.
"Did she eat yet?" Katara asked as she walked to them, taking Miho in her arms. "Um... if you count rice candy and onigiri as real food..." He said with a faint blush.
Katara let out a laugh at his words. "I think she has had to much sweets for today... Time for bed..." She cooed as she carried her sleepy daughter to her bedroom. Upon her return from tucking in Miho, she noticed Hina sitting by her front door. "Hina! I am so sorry! I forgot about you!" Katara said with embarresment.
"It's okay! I need to get home any way, don't want Kiddin to have a freak out feast, would you?" She said with a wink as she shut the front door. Katara laughed and shook her head as she walked back into the main hall.
When she entered the room, Aang immedieately sprang from his seat and walked over to her. He began to speak, but Katara touched a finger to his lips, and he kissed it. Gently, he turned her palm up and traced some signs on it with his finger tip. Laughter made her tremble, and then they where kissing, kissing as if they had never kissed before.
Aang led her to thier bed, not caring that he had knocked a vase from a table in the process. When they reached thier bed, they fell into each other, almost,
as if instantly. They tore at each others clothes, wanting nothing to seperate them. Once joined, they made love until bathed in sweat.

"Sire, it's time! War between the Northern Water Tribe and the Eastern Earth Kingdom is approching. The Virgin Healer and her High Priestess are needed immeditely!" An official said in a panicked tone.
"Yes, send for Lady Katara of Nagata... Her handmaid and High Priestess will be a girl from our tribe..." A man with slowly greying hair said in a regal tone as he stroked his chin, as if to help him think.
"Hai!" the official said as he commanded a party to set out and retrive Katara.
"Yes... This girl's time of legend is forth coming..." Lord Pakku said in a hushed whisper as he turned to leave the royal court...
