Disclaimer- I do not own Anything besides my own story plot.

It was a few weeks since Katara got closure with help from Zuko. During the nights of the full moon, Katara thought about things…a lot of things. Some things were important like plans for after war when Aang won against the Fire-Lord. But some were a bit pointless or didn't need much thought.

But as the days went on in the Western Air Temple, Katara noticed things while she was cleaning. She woke up early, when the sun rose usually with Zuko and Aang. They went to this special point in the temple to meditate so the boys didn't get in Katara's way of cleaning and vise-versa.

She thought about her importance in the group a lot lately. She did this while going about on her chores for the whole group which for the record, was a very long list. She made a mental list about everything that needed to be done. She had tons of stuff to do, which she also had to do by herself. Even manage the food things alone by herself she had to

Cook enough for everyone and create separate meat free meals for Aang

While cooking, be careful of how much food is being used so that food supply doesn't run out quickly

Actually check the food supply.

Get Momo and Appa stuff to eat Ex. Berries, twigs, etc.

Constantly watch for Sokka to make sure that he doesn't eat more snacks.

Walk to the town that was not close by at all, at least a 30-minute walk, by herself to get things for lunch or dinner or general food stock.

But that was only minor things she had to do. She had to budget all their money, clean the place, watch to make sure that Aang stayed on track with his training, etc.

For every one thing she had to do, there were a million other things that had to do with the original chore like her cooking chores.

In simple words, she did almost everything for the group except help Aang with his other elements training and help decide battle plans.

However, although she couldn't help Aang with his other training, she made sure he paid attention to the lessons and she had to constantly heal him or anyone else during training.

And when the others made battle plans she gave the occasional tip to them, which actually helped and made things easier for everyone.

After all this hard work, you wouldn't believe the amount of thanks she got! She was unbelievably tired and was always the last to sleep and one of the first to wake to prepare the day for everyone else.

You would have thought that they constantly showed their gratitude and let her take a break once or twice.

Well you thought wrong, nothing, no thanks or any signs of gratitude except for Zuko who constantly showed his. Actually she got tons of complaints from them instead. "Ugh! Katara this tastes horrible" "Sugar Queen can you stop that?" This only went on and on everyday; she eventually got tired of it so she just stood quiet.

Besides the very unfair division of work, she did everything for everyone, except Zuko who pulled his own weight, and no thanks or gratitude, she started to feel like a drag.

And the 'arguments' (If you could call it that, she never said anything during them) with Toph didn't exactly help her thoughts either.

"Can you stop babying us?"
"You are not my or anyone else's mother!"
"Just stop making yourself seem important by bugging the rest of us!"

She could go on forever, but the more she thought of it, the clearer her two choices became. She could just be the annoying 'mother' by just cooking and cleaning and doing everything for them with no thank you in return.

She didn't want a whole grand parade in her honor but an occasional thank you wouldn't kill either.

But she saw another option, she came up with it when she was looking through her own personal pack and found an old familiar outfit. She could leave and help out in her own special way instead of being a housewife for the group.

She seemed to actually like this idea and could benefit from it. Another bonus was she could get that thrill she always wanted. And by all the comments she got from them, she was pretty sure they could take care of themselves.

In fact she thought it would be better for them, they always complained she would always get in the way and annoy them or mother them. So, it was a better choice for both parties. But a part of her wasn't sure she could go through with it.

However, this changed and her mind was made up after everyone (except Zuko) complained and got into a huge argument with Toph. All the other times they complained about her, was nothing compared to today, so with her mind set, she packed everything after everyone else was asleep. But before she did that, she wrote two letters. The first one was to the Gaang.

Dear Aang, Sokka, Toph and Suki,

I came to a very important decision, I'm not needed anymore. And sometimes not even wanted with the things you used to say. But I decided that I should leave, it would be better for the both of us. You won't have me on your backs and in your hair anymore. You can have the freedom to do whatever you want like you always wanted. And I am sure that you guys can take care of yourselves you said so yourself. But please do me a favor and do not try and find me. You will only get into more trouble. You have to just keep on going and training I'll be fine.

Take care and please be safe.

Love, Katara

The next letter was sent to Zuko. Unlike the first letter where she left in plain sight where she knew that they would find first thing after waking up, the second one was placed in his room on his nightstand.

Dear Zuko,

I wrote this letter to you personally because I believe you are the only one capable of making sure that everything goes alright. You can make sure Aang is ready to defeat the Fire lord. And that everyone will be okay. You are really the only one for this job. You will be the first one to notice that I left; do not look for me if anyone asks you to, please. And just because I am leaving doesn't mean that I won't help out.I will be fine, who knows we might see each other again, but until then please take care of yourself and watch over the others.

I hope that you know I have already forgiven you and I am now trusting you with my family. Goodbye

Love, Katara

After placing both of their letters in their spots, she picked up her two bags and she was gone. She left without a trace, no evidence except the two letters. When she was out of the temple, she looked back.

She whispered a small "Goodbye" and turned back and continued to walk back on her path. But not before a single tear raced down her cheek.

It rained that night; she welcomed it and showed that there was change.

Author's Note

First I wanted to say this could be a one-shot or have multiple chapters. You decide o_O

To do this, please from one reader or author to another, review.

Also this is my first Avatar Fan-fic so please review so I can see how I am doing.

The last time I wrote a story I did not even get more than four reviews which broke my writing heart.

I will even go for 'Your story rocks!' because I just want to know if people are actually reading my stories or not.

So a small review (A constructive criticism one would be nice) would make my day and inspire me to write more.

So please review for the sake of Fan-Fiction
