A/N: OK so I got a lot of good reviews! YAY! I see that you guys like this story! I know that Mako's new girlfriend's name is lame ( that rhymes ), but I just searched for a name and BOOM! That was the one! So there. I'll try to keep the characters 'in character' so wish me luck! Remember! This story is going to be told by Mako's POV only! Oh, and the gang are still living in air temple island! Anyways, here's chapter 2!

i

i MAKO POV

We took the little girl ( Ushio ) to air temple island last night. She seemed so afraid of everyone. Well, everyone except me that is. She seems so afraid of everyone else, but how come she got talking to me so easily? She's still asleep now, as far as I know.

"Mako!" a voice called, then I recognized it, it was Asami.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"I just came by to tell you that breakfast is almost ready, and that Tenzin said that you should wake Ushio up" She told me.

"Alright then" I say as Asami and I make our way to Ushio's room.

"Ever since yesterday when we met her, she was always so shy to people, how come she trusts you so easily? You probably don't know the answer to that either, do you?" She asks me.

"No, no I don't know the answer to that question. But I want to find out. I want to unravel the girl's mystery" I tell her.

"Oh! Well, that's good, because Tenzin wants you to find out more about her! I guess he also wants to know about Ushio" She says.

"Oh, well, OK then, I don't know what, but there's something about Ushio, there's a childlike quality in her that just makes you want to take care of her all day long." I tell Asami as I open the door.

"Oh, well, I have to get going! Bye Mako!" She says as she walks away.

As I walk into the room, Ushio is sleeping soundly, it's weird, but in a way, Ushio reminds me of….. Korra. Oh Korra….. Get a hold of yourself Mako! What are you thinking?! She left Republic City remember! She left me stranded alone in this world! She left everyone!

I walk over to Ushio and say, "Hey, hey Ushio, Ushio wake up, it's morning!"

She pulls her face out from under the covers and just stares at me with those big amber eyes. "Morning Ushio" I say

"Morning" She replies

"You better get ready, breakfast is ready" I tell her, and she sits up in bed, yawns, then smiles and says "Kay!"

So I wait for her to get dressed and we walk to the dining room. As we go in, Bolin says, "Hey there Ushio! How are ya?!"

Ushio just stares at him and comes closer to me. We all eat breakfast in silence.

A few hours later…

I'm just sitting here with Ushio, Asami, and Bolin. It's winter now, and it's getting pretty cold, but it doesn't bother me of course, since I'm a firebender.

"Hey Mako, I think now would be a good time to ask her some questions" Asami whispers to me.

"OK" I reply.

"Ushio!" I call.

"uh-huh?" She asks.

"umm… are you a bender?" I ask. But she probably doesn't know yet anyway.

"yeah, firebender" She answers. So she's a firebender huh? I never would have guessed.

"Oh, what's your mother's name?" I ask. She stays silent for a moment.

"I'm not supposed to tell anyone that, at least, not until….." She trails off. Until? Until what?

"Until what Ushio?" I ask curiously.

"I'm not supposed to tell until I find my daddy" She says, so she was born without a dad? That's so sad.

"it was just me and mommy, that's how it used to be." She continues. "I woke up one day and she was gone. I couldn't find her anywhere. I found a note saying that I needed to know who my daddy was. So I decided to find my daddy, I know he's in this city, that's what mommy always told me, he-he doesn't know I exist though. I know what he looks like though." She tells me.

"Oh, well…. What does your mommy look like? How does she act?" I ask her.

"She has real long hair that reaches to her shoulders, and she's pretty, and she's nice." She tells me.

"What's your last name?" I ask.

"Furukawa" She answers.

"Do you have any siblings?" I ask.

"No, it's just me." She answers

"Oh. Well, why don't we go inside now?" I ask her. I think that's enough questions for today.

"Kay!" she answers, and we head back inside.
