A/N: OK, so I see you guys liked the last chapter. Hurray! Oh! And every chapter will be the next day ( so the last chapter was considered yesterday ) in this story. Uh…. So I'm going to answer some of your review questions now.

Agent-Arizona: OK, so the reason Ushio was left alone was, well… because she thought that Ushio deserved to know who her dad was. Ushio meeting Mako…. Was an absolute coincidence. Ushio has brown hair and amber eyes. The setting is in Republic City.

Makorra1: No. they are not going to find out who Ushio's mom and dad in the next chapter. A few more, then I'll tell everyone.

i MAKO POV

OK, so I told Tenzin what I found out yesterday, and he said that I had to find out more, and that I had to make her less shy around everyone but me. Yeah…. The second one's going to be hard.

But I don't have to worry about that now, since I'm on a picnic date with Mana, and Ushio's just wandering around the island right now. At least for now, I can get a break.

"You know Mako, I feel like I haven't seen you in ages" Mana says as she leans over to kiss me.

"Yeah, me too" I say as we kiss.

"I feel like you're obsessed with this Ushio girl, I feel like she's taking up all your free time, when you should be spending it with me!" She tells me with a small frown.

"C'mon now Mana, don't tell me your jealous?" I ask/accuse her. (for fun).

"What?! N - no! It's just that she's – your always spending your time with her! We – she's breaking us apart!" She tells me in a matter-of-factly tone.

"Mana, she's 5, her mother left her, she doesn't even know who her dad is, and she's lost, afraid, and alone. She has no parents to look after her right now. That's a similar thing that happened to me and Bolin. Except our parents were murdered." I tell her.

"That still doesn't give her an excuse to – to only want to be with you!" Mana says, getting angry.

"She's shy! What's wrong with that?!" I ask her, getting angry with her too. I mean, Ushio is 5! Her jealousy issues are out of control.

"She's just using an act to get to you!" She's yelling at me now.

"She's a five-year-old!" I retort.

"You need to get away from her" She screams.

"You need to get a grip! Your jealousy issues are out of control!" I yell.

"well- uh- she" She's lost for words now.

"I need to get away from you right now" I tell her, then walk away. She just stares at me, for the first time in out relationship, I didn't try to make amends, I didn't try to calm her down, I didn't apologize, I spoke my mind. I haven't done that in a long time, I – I haven't done that since Korra. I hate to admit it, but I still love Korra, if she was here right now…. I-I wouldn't know what to do.

I see Bolin as I walk inside the house, and I know he's going to say something. "What did you do this time bro?"

"I don't want to talk about it" I tell him, slightly irritated.

"OK, then. Well…. Tenzin thinks it's the perfect time for you to try to make Ushio make friends, starting with me. Since, well… you know I'm the friendliest" He tells me. "there she is now"

"OK" I reply. "Ushio!"

Ushio looks up, then runs to me, and hugs me. "I missed you!" She exclaims happily. I can't help the feeling that I missed her too, she's like family to me.

"I missed you too kid" I tell her. She looks at Bolin, then holds me tighter, for a five-year-old, this girl's strong.

"It's OK, Bolin wont hurt you, go say hello" I say, and she slowly nods.

"Nice to meet you" She says to Bolin.

"Yeah, nice to meet you too, I'm Bolin" He says. They talk for a while and Bolin leaves.

"Why not, you go meet Asami?" I suggest.

"Kay!" She replies.

So we walk to Asami, and she stares.

"Say hello, Ushio" I tell her.

"Hello lady!" Ushio greets.

"Hi there, I'm Asami Sato" Asami says.

"She used to be my girlfriend, Ushio" I tell her

"Ah?" She asks, surprised.

"You know Mako, she reminds me bit of you, I mean, she's skeptical about people until she gets to know them better" Asami tells me.

"Yeah, I guess so" I admit.

"Well, I have to get going now, bye" She says.

"Now, aren't you glad you made some new friends today Ushio?" I ask her as we walk to the house.

"Yup!" She answers.

"You say that your mom left you a note when she left, do you have any idea where it could be?" I ask her

"Yeah" She says as she hands me the note.

"So you've had it with you the entire time huh?" I ask her

"Yup!" She replies as I read the note.

Dear Ushio,

I am leaving you this note as I leave, I am so sorry Ushio, so, so sorry. I thought that you deserved to know who your dad was, but if he ever saw me again, I don't know if he would be angry, or happy, or anything really, I couldn't see him again of course, after I left, after all I did to him. So you have to find out about him on your own. I'm so sorry for leaving you like this, but when you do make a bond with your dad, I'll come to you. If he would still love me, maybe we could be a family. Don't think that I don't love you, I do. But you deserve to know.

Sincerely,K

It looks like Ushio's mom didn't sign this, or rather, she just put a K there. I guess she knew that Ushio would take it with her and she didn't want anyone to know who she was, but this note leaves me curious to who Ushio's mom is, she sounds really nice.

Come to think of it, Ushio makes me think of Korra, she looks a lot like Korra. Well, except for her amber eyes that is. But what if she never finds her dad? And what if her mom never came back? I would want to take care of her, I've only known her for a few days but she feels like family to me. But, would she want to be with a mean guy like me? And I have Mana too. I think what Mana meant to say was that I had to choose between her, or Ushio. To be honest, I think I would choose Ushio. Mana has some jealousy issues too, so I guess we are over.

A/N: OK, so how did you like the chapter? That's going to be the final update for this week. I'll see you guys next week, REVIEW!
