Chapter Two: The Discovery.
Sorry, I forgot your name, but whoever said that Kuzon being Zuko's son might be a good plot twist etc, yeah, that was in my original redraft for this, but I decided against it.
Also, if I drew some scenes from this fic and posted them on my deviantART would you guys think it'd help?
This is just a redraft of one of the first fanfics I ever written on the Nick message boards. Back then, when I was eight or nine, it was considered insane for Aang and Katara to have a child named anything other than Kataang (woo, we were so creative back then xD). So obviously I had to think of a name, but I didn't want to use Kya/Bumi/Tenzin. My first idea for a name was Gyatso or something similar, like someone from Aangs past, like Bumi. I then thought Aang wouldn't do that, because there could only be one Gyatso.. So I used Kuzon, after his friend from the Fire Nation :3
¬Nine Years Later¬
"Sokka.. You give him it."
"I cant Katara. Its too personal," Sokka took a step back and held his hand in front of his face. "Aang left that for Kuzon. More specifically, for YOU to give to Kuzon."
"I can't, I don't know how," Katara sighed, tightening her grip on the scroll. "I don't know what to say when I give him it, I don't know if I should stay with him while he reads it-"
Sokka quickly stepped forward and covered Katara's mouth with his hand, as he could tell she was about to ramble and distress herself. Her eyes were already teary. Sokka closed his eyes and sighed.
"Just walk into his room, tell him his dad left it. Give him it. If he wants you to stay, he'll ask you to," explained Sokka with a warm smile. He dropped his hand, and scratched the back of his neck. "Go do it now. Better sooner than later."
Katara smiled at her brother and nodded. She had always known this was going to be a personal thing between her and Kuzon, but she had always dreaded it. What if he asked questions? She knew no more than he did. She was unsure of her status with Aang and she had no idea when he'd return. The most she could to was tell stories- something she'd been doing Kuzon's whole life.
She slowly walked into his room, the scroll tightly gripped in her hand.
"Mom? Whatever Yu told you isn't true, I didn't break anything!"
Katara laughed at her son's paranoia. She knew fine well every time he was with Yu they managed to break something. Why they continued to lie, she never knew.
"I'm not here about that," she said quietly, sitting next to Kuzon on his bed. "I'm here to give you this. Sokka and I spoke, and we decided you're old enough to read this now."
Kuzon's hands shook as he reached out to take the scroll. He didn't know what it was, but it intrigued him greatly. He knew there had been a locked box with a scroll in it that sat by Katara's bed, but he never worked out what the scroll was.
"Your dad left this.. Before he left."
"I.. I don't know what to say."
"Don't say anything. Just read." Katara instructed, standing up and heading for the door. She had a feeling Kuzon wanted to be alone.
Oh hello there again, fanfic readers. Sorry this isn't too long, I decided to split the document into two chapters, because I start back school tomorrow (shoot me) so I wont have time to write but I still want to update.
