Ok! I finally got it done, writer's block is once again evil, and I think it'll be happening for a while. And I also got really sick for the past week. So now i have a ton of makeup work for school *sighs*. At least I finally got this chapter finished! Sorry it's not long, but I figured this is a good stopping point until I can come up with more.

Disclaimer: I don't own Avatar, blah blah blah...


I just sat there, staring after him. It didn't process through my mind for several seconds. I gasped as I realized what happened, Akura left. I didn't know what to think, my heart's torn in two. I couldn't bear the thought not seeing Akura again, nor could I think of not seeing Zuko again, why is my life so hard? I ran out of the shop calling for Akura, I looked around and ran the direction I he would, to that place where he would overlook the city and think, or just look at the beautiful sight, is what he said.

Meanwhile, Akura sat outside the city, tears flooding his face. he wiped them with his arm. Leaving Olivia was going to be the hardest thing he'd ever done, but it was for her own good. he got up at started back toward the city. She had to know the truth before he left for good.

I got to the place he showed me, Akura wasn't there. I dropped to my knees and cried my heart out, hoping that if anyone saw me, it'd be Iroh. Did Akura really leave Ba Sing Se?


I was still crying when i heard footsteps behind me. I whipped around, hoping to see Iroh…or better yet, Akura. It was Lee. "What do you want," I spat angrily.

He held up his hands, and I broke down again, throwing myself into his arms. He just held me, while I sobbed uncontrollably into his shoulder.

I heard another sound and looked up. Akura stood there in the street, a look of torment on his face. I saw tears well up in his eyes again before he hung his head. He turned and ran away, leaving me and Lee alone.

"No," I screamed, forcing myself out of Lee's grip, "Akura, come back!" I ran after him, leaving Lee standing there.

I caught up to him at the gate. I spun him around. He was crying. "Olivia, i just want you to be happy...if that's with Lee, then ok. I'm ok with that. Just remember... I love you, Olivia." Suddenly, he pulled me to him and kissed me. When he pulled away, he looked at me one more time, and he started to leave.

I reached out towards him, "Akura, don't leave." I don't know what I would do without him. But at the same time, I had a war going on inside me, Akura, or Zuko? "Please...don't leave."

Akura stared deep into my eyes. "I'm sorry, Olivia, but if you love Lee, then tell me, so i wont be a distraction. Please, Olivia, i can't stay if you love him, it would be too hard. I'll give you some time to sort it out, if you want. But I'm leaving in a week

I ran to Akura and embraced him, "Thank you so much, you don't know how much this means to me, Akura." I just hope I make the right choice, for everyone, and I hope it's enough time

"Don't worry about it," he said with that cocky street smile again. he winked like he knew something i didn't. He then hugged me and, with an acrobatic back flip, disappeared onto the roof.

I tilted my head and smiled, the Akura I know is back, if only for a while. I started walking my way back to the apartment, then I realized it, "Crap, I'm already lost." I noticed that light was already peeking through the sky, I guess that means Zuko and Iroh are already back. So I kept on walking, talking softly to myself, hoping that I would find the way. I really wanted to get some sleep. It was no use. I stopped in and looked up at the sky, "why am I so bad with directions," I yelled, frustrated at myself.

An apartment door opened in front of me. "Olivia, you found the right place," Iroh informed me.

I smiled innocently, "oh…I knew that." We already moved to the upper ring today, so everything was unfamiliar to me.

Iroh just smiled, shaking his head as he held open the door for me, and closed it quietly as I stepped inside. "Zuko is running a fever," Iroh saw the worried look on my face, "don't worry, he's just going through a change. But we must talk about what happened."

He briefly looked at Zuko, then back to me, "he told me that he found you crying…and you saw Akura and ran after him. Tell me, what is the story behind that?"

I looked at Zuko, what if he woke up while I was telling this to Iroh, I really don't want Zuko to know why this is happening. "How about we'll talk in the kitchen," Iroh suggested, and we moved to the kitchen.

I took a deep breath; bracing myself for the story I was to tell him.

Surprisingly, I wasn't in tears, which I consider a good thing. But I still had trouble telling Iroh it, because of the pain it's caused, and is causing.

Iroh sighed, and looked at me sympathetically, "I'm sorry, but I can't help you through this. I can only say, listen to your heart and you will make the right decision."

Damn. I knew he'd say that. "That's alright," I sighed tiredly. "I knew you would say that," I murmured in deep thought.

I then went into the other room, and sat by a resting Zuko. He looked so peaceful now; he wasn't thrashing around like he was when Iroh and I were talking. I softly combed his hair with my fingers as I thought.

"How about you go to bed," Iroh suggested, "you need to get some sleep. I'll watch over him."

I sighed, placing a gentle kiss on Zuko's forehead and went to bed, falling to sleep with unexpected ease.

A blinding light hit my eyes, forcing me to blink until they adjusted. I looked around, and the place was unsurprisingly familiar. As this place was a dull gray and had three figures talking in hushed voices in the shadows. They noticed my appearance and turned towards me.

A soft, heavenly laughter came to my ears, "so now you're walking around and calling us 'angel-dudes' we're more like…Universal Watchers. We have a longer title, but you could call us Watchers for short."

Oh, so it's them again, "what do you want now?" Am I going home? Of course not, they want to be entertained.

The leader revealed himself once again, showing his angelic beauty. "We have noticed you need help with the…situation that you are in." I crossed my arms, hiding the hurt in my eyes as I thought about it. His eyes filled with concern and sorrow, "you can't hide anything from us, no matter how badly you want to. And you do need help…don't you?"

I shifted my weight as I looked back to eyes and nodded, feeling my eyes starting to water.

He nodded back and continued, "You've been under a lot of stress lately, and you really don't want to make a mistake on this."

"You're actually helping me," I asked, bewildered.

Reassuring me with a gently smile, he agreed, "sort of, but there's things I want you to know first." He shook his head to get his silky brown hair out of his eyes.

"Then tell me," I said desperately, taking a step closer to him.

"You are impatient," he mused, "it's not a usual thing to get from you, but I understand. You have met Akura. We sent him there, as you know, he is from the same place as you. His name there was different, as he told you. Now it's time for you to know your true name in this world, Kyoko. That's what you have been called this life, including the wanted posters that are around the Fire Nation. Olivia will make a good alias." His hand went under his chin as if he were studying me, "you'll figure out something by that. You will be gaining much more memory soon –but not all of it- sometime soon with a…event that is coming up. I'll tell you later how to gain the rest of your memory..." he paced around me. "Now about your 'situation'," he stopped in front of me, looking somewhat smug, "you know who you want, but you always think about the outcome if you choose one and not the other. You hate making people upset. You will make the right decision if you think for yourself. Be greedy for once. I'm not telling you to be gluttonous about everything, just about this one situation."

He smiled and put his hand on my shoulder, making sure I have his attention, "no matter how easy the decision is, I know it's hard for you, because you have a big heart, and that's a good thing."

I hugged him, unable to hold in my crying, "thank you."

The Watcher chuckled, "it's nothing. My name is Alex, just so you know. Now it's time for you to wake up."

I shot up, drenched with tears, instead of sweat for once, then I scanned the room as I identified where I was: the new apartment. I swept my feet out of bed as I sat there, calming myself down, remembering the dream that I just had.

After a few moments, I regained myself and walked to the room where Zuko slept. I looked out the window, it was already night. Whoa, I slept for a long time. Zuko was still asleep, so I walked quietly to the kitchen area and got some tea.

Iroh came into the kitchen, getting some water, "did you have a nice sleep?"

I took a seat, "yeah, I guess…have you ever heard of Kyoko?"

He looked at me, pausing his work, "why, yes. She is high on the wanted list for the Fire Nation. There's a very high price on her head. Also, she's had a brief history with the Fire Nation, too. She hasn't been known to kill, but to rescue those the Fire Nation has captured…why do you ask?"

"I had a…dream last night. And I know my real name now, Kyoko," I told him.

Iroh didn't appear shocked, but he smiled, "At least you have a good alias. I won't ruin anything else for you, you can figure out the rest for yourself."

I knew this would get nowhere if I begged, so I just nodded, finishing my tea. "Olivia," Zuko weakly called.

I turned around and sat by him, as he was awake. "What is it," I asked softly, happy to see he's getting better.

"You…you love him…don't you?"


I guess it's good for a short chapter...idk. please review!!!! :)
