SDB: So, TEB decided, 'SDB, you can do all the writing, I'm too busy' so I did this WHOLE chapter...because he's a dick. Lol, so because he pulled a douche bag move, I'm going to give you all a little secret about TEB. Some of you guys realized that in all of his stories, he always has hints of Taang in it. Do you want to know why? His girlfriend...looks JUST like Toph. It's scary as hell, exact same personality, strict parents, and doesn't like wearing shoes. Swear to the Spirits ;D. But that is why, he's channeling his inner love for Toph/his girlfriend. Anyways, I hope you like this, this is the beginning of Kataang with some Zutara...

"Katara." She moaned, not wanting to wake up. Katara dug her head into whatever she was laying against and yawned. "Katara," Whoever it was shook her again. "Wake up." Her eyes finally fluttered open and saw Zuko in front of her. "Good morning sleepy head, do you want to go back to my room?" She shook her head. "Well, you should probably stop sleep on my brother." Katara froze, realizing what she was laying against wasn't just anything, it was Aang's shoulder.

"She's fine Zuko, let her sleep," Aang told him. "It's not like she's hurting anyone." Zuko gave them both a look before going back to the kitchen. Katara lifted her head off of his shoulder and felt a blush creep across her face. She saw a small wet spot on his shirt and wiped her face.

"Sorry I fell asleep on you….and drooled on you." Katara apologized, the scent of burgers and fries wafted into her nose. "How long have I been out?"

Aang checked the clock, "Uh, about an hour." She rubbed her eye with base of her palm. "Did you know that you talk in your sleep?" She stiffened again. What did she say? Did she talk about him? Would he keep it a secret from Zuko?

"I-I do?"

He nodded, still playing his game, chopping a Zombie's head off. "Yeah, you were apologizing a lot. Something like 'I'm sorry Zuko' and saying you loved something." Katara bit the inside of her cheek, she nearly let her dreams confess that she loved him. "Did you and Zuko have a fight or something? You seemed kind of worked up about it."

"It was nothing," She lied.

Aang paused the game as Zuko came out with his food, "Here you go Master Aang." He said sarcastically. Zuko gave him his grease spotted bag and sat down next to Katara, opening his. He gave her a quick kiss before taking out his burger. "So what are you going to do today Aang?"

"He's going to the movies today, with me." Suki said sitting down on the other couch, pulling some fries out of her bag. "Someone has to get him out of this house." Katara's eyes narrowed a little bit at her friend, but Zuko squeezed her hand a little and she smiled at him.

"I'm perfectly fine here, I need to beat this game anyways. I've had this game forever." Aang said, "Maybe some other time Suki."

She pouted, "I haven't been to the movies in forever."

"We'll go with you," Zuko offered.

"No way, last time I went to the movies with you and Katara, you two made out the whole time." Suki took out her burger.

His brow furrowed, "We kissed like 3 times."

"Actually, we did make out the whole time, I remember it because…" Katara trailed off, she was about to say because Aang and Toph were making out too. "Because I never got to see the ending to Eclipse." She could see the sad look on Aang's face for a millisecond before he focused on the game again, even if she didn't bring it up, he still was brought back to the memory.

"I thought that would be a good thing," Zuko joked.

Suki groaned a little, "Why is it that I've had boyfriends back to back before and I'm now one of the loneliest girls in our group?"

"You and Aang could get together," Zuko smiled, "Once you go White, you never go back." Katara hid her face in embarrassment, knowing what he was getting at. Zuko, unlike anyone else she had been with…was, endowed. Her eyes went wide as it finally hit her, Aang was Zuko's brother…maybe he was also as endowed. Katara took a slow breath, trying to calm down the heat that was shooting down between her legs.

She shrugged, "Don't you think it's kind of soon?"

"I think it is…" Aang interjected, "But then again, who cares about my opinion, you know, since I'm here. It isn't like my girlfriend of about 6 years just left to Texas last night." He turned off the game and turned the cable back on. Aang grabbed his food and went to his room.

They all sat in awkwardness, well, just Zuko and Suki. Katara was deep in thought, understanding why he left and hoping he would feel better. "Maybe ask him in about a week." Zuko said in a hushed tone before taking a bite out of his burger.


Aang laid on his bed, flipping through the photos on his phone of the photos of Toph and him. One was of him and Toph in swim wear, she was giving the camera the devil horns as he had his arm around her. When she had left, she had taken a piece of him with her. He remembered when she first brought it up, it was only a month ago. Toph, not one to show her feelings that well, was crying, telling him that she had to do this, something she wanted since she was younger. Aang didn't fight her wishes, she had lived a majority of her life to her parent's design and wanted to do something she wanted. He knew the only time he would ever see her again would be on TV, but Aang knew he had to let her go. Whenever they were alone, they would spend their time either having sex or holding each other. Aang had only seen Toph cry 5 times and all five were spent in that month. A part of him hoped that by the end of the month, she would change her mind, stay with him and they would end up together, but she left. Before she left, she said the worst thing she could have ever said. "I will never love anyone as much as I love you," He breathed, fresh warm tears poured out. A soft knock rapped on his door. Aang didn't answer, just put his phone away. Another knock on his door and he still didn't budge. He heard the door slowly open.

"Aang?" Katara's voice softly asked. He didn't say anything to her, just pretending he was asleep. Aang nearly sighed as she shut the door, thankful for her leaving, but she didn't. The bed went down a little bit as Katara sat on the side of the bed, lightly touching his arm. Her fingers traced over the white dragon on his arm. "I can't believe Toph left you, after she fought me so hard to take you away." A wave of confusion hit him, did she just say that Toph fought her for him? "She wanted you so bad…as much as I did. I wish I told you this before I got together with Zuko or at least when you were awake. But I love Zuko…"

"I know," Aang felt her jump. "Is that what she meant by 'He cared about you and I'm sorry'?"

She was silent for a second, "Yeah."

"Were you ever going to tell me?"

"No."

"Do you want to know something?" She was silent. "I wanted you more than Toph, but I still cared a lot about her before we started going out. Your personality, your sapphire eyes and the way your face lights up every time your favorite song comes on…you could even say that I was in love with you." Her breath hitched. "Zuko made fun of me because I had this journal that I would write in about you, stuff that I won't repeat because they were a little embarrassing." Katara softly smiled, "But now I'm the one who makes fun of him for saying how much he loves you."

Her fingers went to the White Dragon again, before she could stop herself, it came out of her mouth, "Do you still care about me in that way?"

"You'll always have a place in my heart Katara," Aang told her, still facing away from her.

There was another knock at the door, "Hey, is he up?" Aang recognized the voice as Katara's brother Sokka.

"We'll be out in a little bit," Katara told him. The door shut and Katara got up from the bed. "Do you want to come out and see Sokka and Yue? He wants to see your and Zuko's new tattoos." She expected him to decline but he got up from the bed and was face to face with her. His eyes were slowly going back to normal, but she could tell he was crying. Katara wiped his cheeks, "You don't have to, if you don't want to Aang. You can stay in here."

Aang shook his head, "No, she wouldn't have wanted me to do this." He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before putting on a happy face. They went out into the living room where Sokka was looking at Zuko's Red Dragon.

"Wow man, that's really fucking awesome," Sokka exclaimed, "They really did a good job."

Yue saw Aang enter, "Hey Aang." She walked over and hugged him, "I'm so sorry to hear what happened." Yue was Sokka's long term girlfriend. She had short white hair in a pixie hair style and wore a tight purple top and blue jeans.

"Thanks, but it's fine." Aang told her.

She pulled away, "Let me see the new tattoo." Yue looked at his arm and smiled, "Wow, it's like you, Zuko and Sokka are all brothers, why did you pick white Aang?"

"It represents the purity and calm of the soul and the Dragon of the Air. It kind of called to me," Aang explained. "Just like Zuko's represents the lust and anger of the soul and the Dragon of the Flame."

"Mine's more of a cool thing," He joked, "I'm not really angry." Sokka snickered a little. Zuko shot him a look and he instantly shut up. "Anyways, I heard that you got a tattoo also Yue." She nodded and pulled her shirt up, above her bra on her back were two black and white koi fish circling each other, the black one had a white dot on it and the white one had a black dot. "Wow, that's amazing, what is it?"

"Tui and La," Katara answered for him, amazed at the tattoo, "The Moon and the Ocean Spirit, I remember our mother use to tell stories about them when Sokka and I were younger."

Yue let her shirt down, "My mother use to also. But I have them on here for a different reason. I represent Tui, the Moon, and Sokka represents La, the Ocean."

"You do realize that they represent Yin and Yang and those are opposites, right?" Aang pointed out. Yue's face dropped as Katara snickered a little bit.

"How do you know about Tui and La Aang?" Zuko asked.

He shrugged, "I heard Katara and Sokka talking about it a couple years ago, so I read some of the mythology about them, how they manifested themselves in the physical world to help mankind and how they healed the people that were dipped into their waters, some even having their hair turn white, like Yue's." Yue and the Aqua Siblings were impressed, they would have never thought either of them would know anything about their people's mythology.

"Do you know about Kyoshi then?" Suki asked, making her presence known in the room.

Aang nodded, "Yeah, it was said she spilt the isle of Kyoshi from mainland to stop Chin the Conqueror from taking over her land. Also, if I remember correctly, Kyoshi lived to be over 200 years old…230 to be exact."

Zuko shook his head, "Aang, you know too much useless information." His phone vibrated and he opened it. "Oh no…"

"What's wrong?" Katara asked, concerned.

He looked at his brother, "It's mom…"


Aang and Zuko sat in front of the computer, "That was not cool Mom."

"It was the only way I thought you two would answer me," Ursa told them.

"You do realize you are the only person in our family that we still talk to right Mother?" Zuko asked. "After Uncle moved back to Japan, you know we don't want anything to do with the rest of our family, except you."

She nodded, "Well…I need you to do something for me."

"Anything for you Mom."

"I need you to come get your sister."

"Yeah, fuck that."

"ZUKO!"

"I agree with him Mom," Aang said, "We would do anything in the world for you, except with things to do with Father or her."

Ursa took a breath, "Well, you don't need to have that kind of language. I need one of you to come pick her up and get her settled in at College."

"Why can't you or Father do it?"

"We're going to Japan to visit your Uncle. Zuko, please do this for me, I will pay for your gas, food and I'll even give you an extra couple hundred for making the effort." Ursa offered.

Zuko pondered it for a little bit, "Well, I did want to buy Katara something for our anniversary…" Aang just rolled his eyes, knowing Zuko, he would buy the most expensive thing he could find.

"You can count me out," Aang said, "I'm pretty sure after you birthed her, the devil possessed her…because she's a bitch and has literally tried to kill me. She called my ex-girlfriend an emo slut, called Katara a floozy, and I'm pretty sure I've seen her head spin around before…"

"Aang, stop being overly dramatic," Ursa told him.

"…and I'm sure she tried to sacrifice our old dog Appa. Don't you remember that Zuko? She had candles and everything."

"It wasn't Appa Aang," Zuko corrected him, "…It was the neighbor's cat, I remember because there was black fur all over her room."

"Enough you two," Ursa interrupted, "Now, Zuko. I really need you to do this okay? If not for the money, please do this for me."

Zuko sighed, "Okay, I'll do it for you Mother. Where do I need to take her?"

"Washington."

"WASHINGTON?" They both yelled. "Mom, that's at least a two day drive!"

She shrugged, "That's the school that she had gotten into, I'm sorry. But that's why I'm paying for everything. I need you to pick her up tomorrow and take her up there."

"Fine, but addition to the money….I want your home baked cookies."

"Deal."


Katara softly kissed his chest, "What are you thinking about?" She had noticed his mind was totally somewhere else, even during sex. Zuko still didn't answer her, still looking off in the distance. Katara's fingers danced down to his crotch and squeezed a little, but he still didn't come out of his trance. "Zuko, please talk to me."

"I'm sorry, I'm just thinking about my sister…"

"That's something every girl wants to hear after sex," Katara joked. She leaned up and kissed him, "Come on, what if I gave you a special present?"

Zuko shook his head, "Thought I would like that, not right now Tara. It's just about my sister. You know why Aang and I moved out right?" She nodded. "Well there is another reason why we left…Azula…Azula tried to kill Aang."

Katara's head rose off his chest, "Wait, what?"

He nodded, "Aang and Toph were caught having sex again and Azula made fun of them. Toph and her got into a heat argument and ending up getting a little violent. Aang stopped them and Azula left…but came back with our father's gun. She pointed it at Aang…and didn't hesitate. It took 3 clicks for Toph to finally tackle Azula to the ground, sending a bullet into ceiling."

"Why didn't any of you guys tell me this?"

"We didn't tell anyone. Aang didn't want to…but it's been on my mind…" Zuko trailed off. "We haven't seen our sister since that day."

She crawled up a little closer to his face, "Do you want me to come with you?" Katara kissed his neck, "Maybe on the way back," She kissed him again, "I," Another kiss, "can," Another kiss, "take care," She kissed his chin. "of you."

Zuko captured her lips between his, "It would be better for you to stay here. The faster I get 'her royal highness' up to Washington, the faster I can come back down here to caress my lovely Tara." He squeezed her butt, making her yelp and kiss him again.

"When you're gone, can I stay here then? Yue is having her apartment fumigated and is going to stay with Sokka. If I have to hear them having rough sex ever again, I will kill myself." She cringed at the last time she had heard them.

"Yeah, you pretty much live here anyways…maybe you should, I don't know, move in?" He suggested.

Katara smiled, "You really want me to move in with you?" He nodded. She caressed his face in her hand, "You really know how to get a lady to swoon to you don't you?"

"Swoon? You're naked in my bed, I'm a past swooning," Katara rolled her eyes playfully, he was too smooth. "You know, I think I'm ready to go again." She smirked sinfully and started to go down but he stopped her and moved her up and onto her back. "My turn."

He kissed down her body until he reached her burning center. "Oh Zuko."


Katara pulled the cotton tank top away from her sweat covered chest. It was over 100 degrees out today and Zuko didn't have AC in the house. She watched as he packed some clothes, knowing he was going to have to make a two day trip there and then another two days back. It surprised her that he wasn't sweating at all, he barely showed signs of any heat effecting him. He zipped up his backpack and slung it over his shoulder. "Are you sure they can't give her a plane ticket and she can find her own way to her College?" Zuko shook his head bringing a pout to her face, "Come on my Red Dragon," He rolled his eyes at her newest nickname, "You know how much I love hot and sweaty sex, when I can feel a bead of sweat rolled down to the small of my back, and of course when instead of a hot shower after, we take a cold shower and have another round."

"If you don't stop, I won't be able to walk out of this room without sporting a hard-on," Zuko said, giving her a small kiss, "Don't worry, I'll be back in four days at the most, maybe 3 if I want to pull a all night drive to get my sister the fuck out of my car."

She frowned, "Don't push yourself too much, I want you alive, not dead on the side of the road."

"Relax Tara," He laughed as they left his room, "Everything will be fine. Aang!" Zuko called, "I'm leaving!" There wasn't an answer. They walked into the living room and there wasn't any sign of him. Zuko shrugged, "Huh, weird. Anyways, I'll miss you Tara." Katara pulled him in for long kiss, almost pulling him over to the couch for another quickie before he left. He smiled against her lips, "Tara enough." Zuko mumbled against her lips. He was finally able to pry her off him. "I love you babe."

"I love you too." Katara kissed him one last time before he left. She sighed, falling back over the top of the couch, but landing on something hard. Turning to her right, she saw Aang fast asleep. Katara was about to move to get off him, but he woke up.

"Uh…Hi Katara." Aang said, "May I help you?" She shook her head, not able to move yet. "Though I have no problem with you being on me like this, I'm sure Zuko wouldn't like it."

Katara finally found the words she was trying to say, "Zuko's not here." Okay, not the ones she should have said.

His brow furrowed a little, "So when Zuko's not here, he's okay with you laying on me?" She shrugged. "Again, I have no problem with it, but I'm sure Zuko would." She finally found the power in her body to get off Aang, her face fully red.

"Sorry about th-AT!" She cried as she lost her balance and fell on him again, but now face to face with him. Her lips were oh so close to his, if she just moved one more inch…

"You're just looking for an excuse to be close to me aren't you?" Aang smirked. Her eyes narrowed at him. He pushed a loose strand of her hair out of her face, "You know, you're still as beautiful as you were in High School." Katara blushed. She felt his arm go around her waist and pull her to him before he flipped their positions. Her heart was about to beat out of her chest as she stared into his silver eyes. Aang gave her a wink before getting up from the couch. "I'm guessing your staying here while Zuko is gone…this will be an interesting 4 days."

He left her on the couch as she felt her heart beat against her ribcage. Katara cursed herself for loving two men, especially when one of them was the brother of the other. She loved the Red Dragon and always would, but the White Dragon had her heart also. Why did Toph have to leave? Katara felt her iPhone vibrate and she pulled it out of her pocket. Someone was trying to video chat with her, but she didn't recognize the number. She pressed accept anyways and sat up. It took a little bit, but a familiar face popped up. "I'm surprised you picked up Sweetness." It was Toph. She looked the same, but had a slight tan. Toph had on a pair of black sunglasses and was most likely in a hotel by the tacky wallpaper behind her.

"Toph?" Katara covered her mouth, hoping Aang didn't hear her from where ever he went off to in the house. "Where are you?"

"Texas, I thought you would have known that by now." Toph said.

"Toph, please come back, Aang misses you so much…I even kind of miss you." Katara admitted.

She saw her mood darken, "Katara, I can't do that. I need to follow my dreams."

"You know how much you mean to him Toph."

"And you know how much he means to me," Toph said. "I love Aang with all my heart. It broke my heart to leave him, but we agreed with me that this was what was best. There was no way I was going to uproot his life for me Katara, he's still in his 20's, he has his whole life to find someone else that will be perfect for him. Maybe even someone like you."

"But you know I'm with Zuko."

She nodded, "Yeah, but I know you still love Aang. Even if you won't admit it or not even know it…a part of you is still in love with him. Why else would you date a near copy of him?"

"Zuko is different than Aang, you know that." Katara said.

"Yeah, personality wise, but the hair, the smile, the sparkle in their eyes when they see you…it's the same." Toph explained. "As much as I hate to admit it Katara, the only other woman I would ever want to see Aang with…is you." Katara swallowed the lump in her throat. This wasn't really helping her deal with her relapsed feelings. "Now, this isn't the reason I wanted to talk to you…well, kind of. I wanted to know how he was doing, but I didn't want to reopen fresh wounds with him."

"He's been doing good. You know him, he doesn't want to burden us all with his troubles, but he did cry a little bit the other night." Toph wiped her eyes as she nodded. "I'm just hoping he gets better soon. How has Texas been?"

She shrugged, "Okay." Katara heard the crack in her voice, she was obviously holding back tears. "I got a mechanic helping me with this bike I got. His name is Teo. Dude's a wonder with two wrenches. I should be able to get to ride in the Amateur Circuit soon."

"That's good Toph…" Katara trailed off. They were both silent for a minute. "I hope everything goes good for you Toph."

Toph smiled, "Same with you Sweetness, I got to go…but please listen to what I asked…maybe give Aang a chance." The phone call ended and Katara shrunk down in the couch. What she didn't know, was that Aang was in the kitchen and heard the whole conversation.


Dinner between them had been awkward between them. Katara had went directly to Zuko's room after dinner and hadn't left since. It was now 12 and the heat hadn't ceased. She was now just in her bra and panties, sweat was still going down her body. Katara would have to bring up to Zuko when she moved in that he was going to need some fans. Her mind had wandered to the room next to Zuko's. Aang was alone in there now, but she assumed that he was probably asleep. Toph's advice rang in her head. Not only did she want Aang, but she literally got the okay from his ex-girlfriend to go after him. Things would never be the same again if she slept with Aang while Zuko was gone. But was she okay with it? Her lust said yes, her rational thought said no, her common sense said no…but her heart agreed with her lust. Katara got off the bed and slowly walked over to the door. Her hand hovered above the metal knob, know this would be a life changing decision. She opened the door and walked to his door. It was already open and she could see him lying in his bed. Katara stood to the side of the doorway, watching him sleep. "Katara?" She jumped a little. "Are you okay?" Aang asked, still lying in his bed.

"Yeah…um…I kind of had a nightmare." She said. "I'm just kind of freaked out."

"Do you want to sleep in here?"

There was no going back after this. "Yes."

SDB: So hopefully if TEB reads this, he will know that he shouldn't stick me with writing all day when I wanted to do things today. Though I do like writing...he sticks me with writing Zutara and I don't really care for it. I mostly don't like Zutara because Zutarian Authors usually make Katara a complete bitch and say 'I never loved Aang' and shit like that...then again, I'm no better. In conclusion, This is SubDelBub signing off on TEB's account ;D
