Well, here starts a series of Katoph drabbles…All of them are song fics and they are based upon different musicals. Anyways, the first installment is based on the song, "Loathing" from the Broadway show, ""Wicked." Enjoy!!

(Note: This takes place when Toph first joins the group…)

What is this feeling so sudden and new?

I felt the moment I laid eyes on you
My pulse is rushing
My head is reeling
My face is flushing
What is this feeling?

Fervid as a flame,
Does it have a name? Yeeesss….

Katara glared down at the stubborn earth bender, her cerulean eyes gleaming with anger.

"Sugar Queen?" She almost screamed, greatly taken aback at the new and irking name Toph had fashioned for her. Toph shot her a dark look, though she couldn't see the frustrated water bender, and replied scathingly.

"Yes. Sugar Queen. While you were off prancing about, flinging water around with Twinkle-Toes over there, I was hard at work, preparing a lesson in earth bending. And you tell me that I never do anything? Please, Princess…I could out work you in ten seconds flat." Katara was almost shaking in rage when the younger girl had finished her rant, the water behind her beginning to slosh dangerously.

"You? Out work me? Boy, have you gotten it mixed up. I have been training Aang for months! And ever since you showed up, I've never had a problem! Everything that goes wrong is all your fault!" she shot back, stepping a great deal closer to the shorter girl, staring down at her, her eyes glinting with furry. Toph chuckled, as if to demean her, and shook her head, stomping her foot on the ground, causing a rock to shoot up from the earth under Katara's feet. The water bender cried out as she was flung into the air, but thought quickly, and bended a slide of ice that she could slip back down to the ground on. After regaining her footing, Katara swiveled her head around, shooting the earth bender a death glare.

Loathing… unadulterated loathing

For your face
Your voice
Your clothing
Lets just say… I loathe it all.
Every little trait however small,
Makes my very flesh begin to crawl,

With simple utter loathing
There's a strange exhilaration

In such total detestation.

It's so pure so strong!
Though I do admit it came on fast
Still I do believe that it can last
And I will be loathing,
Loathing you my whole life long!

"Oh…That's it!" she screamed, throwing her hands into the air. A large block of ice detached itself from the lake behind her, and broke apart into hundreds of tiny, dagger like shards. With a flick of her wrist, Katara sent the ice blades flinging at the earth bender, her mouth twisting into a galled sneer. Toph, who was ready for this kind of attack, bended a large rock wall, blocking the ice with ease. After all the shards had broken against the wall, Toph lowered it, a distasteful sneer creasing her lips.

"That the best you got, Sugar Queen?" she taunted, yawning for dramatic effect. "I thought you were a master!" Katara's expression was choleric.

"My best? Most certainly not! Try this!" she yelled, bending a massive wave in Toph's direction. The younger girl's eyes widened momentarily, but she thought swiftly, and dug her feet into the ground, then bended herself under it, waiting for the water to pass over her. After the roaring above her was silenced, she resurfaced, guffawing.

"Come now! How is Twinkle-Toes supposed to defeat the Fire Lord with bending that pathetic?" she questioned, cocking an eyebrow at the infuriated bender in front of her. Katara's cerulean orbs flashed dangerously, discarding all restraint that she had been nice enough to use. Without any warning, Katara bended tentacles around her arms, and slew them in Toph's direction. It took a moment for Toph to register what had happened, and by the time she started to pivot to avoid the attack, it was too late. One of the watery arms connected to the young earth bender's shoulder, sending her flying backward into a tree. Katara smirked, and let her water drop, staring coldly at the downed girl.

"Aw. Is the poor little blind girl hurt?" Katara mocked, her usual kind, and nurturing personality pushed entirely from her instincts. "Maybe I should have gone easy on you…" Toph shook her head, clearing it of the after math of the strong assault. It took only a second for her to leap to her felt, her milky eyes almost glowing with acrimony.

"That does it. You. Me. Right now." She snarled, stanceing herself. Katara's smirk grew in size.

"Fine. Just don't cry when I kick your pale little behind…" she taunted, bending a water whip up from the lake.

Though I do admit it came on fast
Still I do believe that it can last and I will be
Loathing you forever
Loathing, truly deeply

Loathing you
My whole life long!!

Toph growled deep in her throat, voicing her rage at the older girl. It was complete silence between the two for a moment, each waiting for the other to attack. After a minute or two, Toph dropped her stance, frowning.

"You gonna go any time soon?" she inquired, her glare never ceasing. Katara sighed, and also dropped her stance, he eyes full of regret.

"…Look…Maybe we should…Just try and get along…" she said, her normal, mature side taking hold once again. "The only thing we are gaining by fighting is wasting time that we could be training Aang. So…Truce?" she requested, holding out her hand to the earth bender. Silence ensued for a time, and Katara could tell that Toph was contemplating her proposition. After a moment, the girl nodded, and grasped Katara's hand in her own, shaking it.

"Yeah…Why not…We are on the same side after all…" she stated, causing Katara to smile genuinely.

"Good…Now…About that spar…"

Egh…What can I say. I was bored. So, lemme know what you think of the first chapter, even though it was dreadfully short. I'll be adding another one…Tonight hopefully. If I don't have to do too many chores, that is. Hehe..
