A shadow in the fading black snuck past the sleeping mob in the temple. The shadow stood, staring at the pile of warriors. Not even warriors really, technically most of them were still kids, even her. Her head fell. Loved ones aren't the only thing this war has robbed us of, she thought to herself, It's taken our right to be kids. To laugh and play and never have to worry about a thing. She turned and let out a heavy sigh, but her eyes suddenly flew opened. Looking down she saw a small sleeping mass of white fur. Just as her boyfriend did only days earlier, she quietly stepped over the lemur and headed down a hall.

Unbeknownst to her, one of the figures in the mob was not sleeping. The great chief's sleep was disturbed by the light footsteps of a highly trained warrior(A/N lol Hakoda has really good hearing). He watched the figure disappear from the rising sun's light and down the hall. Hakoda wiped the sleep from his eyes and gazed around. All of them were accounted for, except one. The warrioress with the blazing fire-red hair, Suki. He rose from his pallet and followed her.

She reached her destination and sat down on the edge of the platform. Sokka had shown her this very place the previous day. Once again she sighed, as if it would somehow make all her problems vanish. Her deep train of thought was interrupted ,when from behind, she hear a rustle.

Hakoda watched as the young woman sat down on the edge of the temple floor. He watched her sigh, yet again, and then stare off into the distance. A puzzled look crossed his face as he recall the day of their escape. This girl, she seemed like an unbreakable and unstopable rock wall, as I watched her scale the damn vertical walls of the prison...... but now.....she seems so lost, so confused, so ....hurt. He took a step closer, but stopped when he saw her spin around and cry out, "Who's there?"

The fiercenes in Suki's eyes disapperedas she saw who stood in the dimming dark. "Chief Hakoda" ,she paused," I'm sorry I didn't realize that was you....um...stalking me."

Hakoda chuckled and replied," That's quite Suki. I guess I shuoldn't have been 'stalking' you."

The two sat in silence. Suki watched as Hakoda sat down beside her and meditated. After glancing around, Suki followed his example and began to clear her mind. That is, until Hakoda spoke up. "So what were you so deep in thought about when I startled you?"

Suki's eyes shot open and she swallowed before croaking out," I-I-t's really n-n-otthat important." She gave a weak laugh.

"Miss Suki, I should let you know before you continue lying to me, that after raising my two children I know when something is bothering a person."

She sighed and her face fell as she spoke up once more,"Today is the anniversary of my parent's death."
