Chapter 7

"Katara."
She looked to the door only to see her brother with a serious expression on his face.
"Sokka what's wrong?"
"Zuko…He's here."
She dropped the plate she was holding.
They went outside and instead of being greeted with disgust, a smile and a familiar face was there.
"Iroh!" The sibling exclaimed. They went and hugged him, happy to see an old friend.
"Iroh? What happened! How did you-"
Iroh signaled Katara to stop.
"I am not as young as I used to be and the cold is chilling me to the bone! Is it possible if I come in for a nice cup of tea?"
Katara nodded.
"Please come in Iroh!"
And Katara led him inside. Sokka apologized for he couldn't make it.
"The people will want me to keep an eye on the soldiers-No offence."
"Non taken." Iroh smiled.
Sokka smiled back and left towards the port.
"Iroh there's so much to talk about! And I have a very important person to introduce you to!"
The waterbender said with a grin. Iroh smiled back.
"I can't wait…"
"You won't have to!" She said and then called out.
"Yuki!"
Yuki came running.
"Yes Mama!?"
Iroh's eyes went wide at the miniature Katara.
"Iroh…This is my daughter Yuki. Yuki this is an old friend of mine, Iroh."
Yuki bowed. "It's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Iroh!"
Iroh laughed at this girl's politeness.
"No need to be so formal! And you can call me Uncle Iroh!"
Katara and Yuki both looked at Iroh and both smiled.
Identical…Iroh thought with a smile.
"Yuki, uncle Iroh would like a cup of tea! Bring him to the kitchen as I get the leaves. Ok sweetie?"
Yuki nodded happily grabbed Iroh's hand and started dragging him to the kitchen, and Katara left outside in search of some leaves.
"So Yuki…tell me about yourself child."
He asked once she sat him down on a chair.
"I'm five years old, and a waterbender like Mama!"
He nodded and observed the child who was looking around for a tea set.
And then he noticed something, just behind her ear right before the hair, was a birthmark.
His eyes went wide as he recognized the mark.
No it can't be!
Before jumping into conclusions he asked the child another question.
"What about your father?"
Yuki stopped in her tracks, Iroh couldn't see her face. But then she held her hands and faced him with a giant smile.
"I don't have a father. But that's okay I have uncle Sokka! And either way uncle Sokka told me that he was a prick and that I don't need him!"
It was obvious that she was sad.
"But Mama says…that when she first saw him he tried to cheer her up when she was very sad... Someone who tries to cheer some else can't be that bad right uncle Iroh?"
This time she let the masquerade fall.
Iroh nodded. "You are a very wise child, Yuki." He said with a smile.
Yuki smiled back and wiped away the few tears that threaten to fall.
"Found some!" Said a very pleased with herself Katara.

Inu-san: Sorry for the long update! I just finished hell with my computer. First it crashed. My uncle couldn't figure out what was wrong with it and he said that I might need a new hard drive and say good bye to all my stuff…I went threw depression…And after like two weeks he finally gives it back to me but my mom canceled the internet!
Yeah…
I felt very Harry-in-summer-ish.
And yet when I was writing chapter 20 I was EXTREMELY FLUFFY. I mean I think I should put up some serious warnings before even posting it about how out of character Zuko was.
Now I feel much drained.
I blame my math and tech teacher who made my afternoon class WAY too long for its own good… Mr. Tech who's nice and all but he just speaks so slowly! We never move! And by the end of this twenty minute lecture we end up back at square one! And Mr. Math is also nice and all but he teaches Math…And I hate math.
