Sorry I took so long with this chapter. Life has been keeping me very busy.

"So what did you do to Haru?" Katara asked. After hearing about how her beloved Aang killed Jet for touching her, she was eager to hear about what he did to the earth bender that was infatuated with her. All that she remembered of Haru was how he looked and not much else. From what Sokka had told her, Haru tried to get her attention, talking to her once at another party but she was too focused on Aang talking to another girl to notice. Katara never really paid attention to any other boys other than Aang. Why would she after all? Aang was the only one she truly had eyes for.

"Let's get out of here first before I tell you about Haru. I'd rather not stay here after what happened", Aang answered. The couple stood up from the floor and held hands as Aang lead Katara to the door that was at the corner of the warehouse. Katara turned her head and looked back at the spot Aang had buried Meng.

'Serves you right you little goblin', she smirked. Meng's plan had backfired on her and Katara couldn't help but wonder what went through the dying girl's mind before she was buried. They stepped out of the door and were finally outside. There was a full moon in the dark sky. Katara felt elated, finally out of the building with her beloved. Aang grabbed hold of his staff that he left at the side of the door. Then Katara remembered that he had yet to tell her how he knew where she was.

"You never told me how you knew where to find me" she pointed out. Aang's body went stiff.

"Oh um…well you see…" Aang started to rub the back of his neck, looking away from her. From what Katara knew about him, Aang only did that when he was nervous. She couldn't help but wonder why he be nervous after what she said.

"Aang, sweetie you can tell me. You don't need to be so nervous" she reassured as she put her free hand on his cheek, turning his head so that he was facing her. Aang sighed.

"Okay. I put a tracker on your phone so that I would know where you were even when it was turned off" he admitted.

"YOU WHAT?!" Katara snapped. She pulled her hands back and balled them into fists. Aang flinched at her reaction. "I can't believe you!"

"I get that you're mad but I only did it because I wanted to make sure you were safe"

"By tracking me? That's crossing the line Aang" Katara crossed her arms and turned around, her back facing him.

"I'm pretty sure we both jumped the line when we started killing people because of our feelings for each other Katara" Aang remarked. Katara said nothing in response as she fumed. Aang let out another sigh as he put his staff against the wall and wrapped his arms around her waist, resting his chin on her right shoulder.

"I know that what I did is an invasion of your privacy but I did it because I love you Katara. Besides, it did help me find you here at this warehouse with Meng."

Katara melted at feeling the heat of his breath on her as he held her tight in his arms. Her heart fluttered when he said that he loved her. She knew that she couldn't be mad at him for too long.

"How did you even put a tracker on my phone?" She wondered, still not looking at him.

"I asked Teo to create an app that connected with your Bluetooth. I downloaded it into your phone when you left it unlocked with me before the dance." Aang explained. Katara turned her head to look at him.

"How did you even get Teo to help you out? I doubt he would do that willingly"

"In exchange for the app, I agreed to help him ask Toph to be his date for the dance."

"Oh…well I'm still mad that you did this behind my back Aang. But If I learned anything in the past hour it's that we need to be honest with each other. Especially now that we're a couple. There shouldn't be any more secrets between us."

"You're right. I promise not to hold anything back from you and I'll delete the app from your phone."

Katara turned herself around, still in his arms and put her hands on his shoulders.

"You don't have to delete it, but I want to be able to track you as well. It's only fair and I'd be lying if I said I never thought of doing the same to you before" Katara replied.

Aang nodded, "Of course. Since I already have the app on my phone then you can just use yours to connect with mine"

"Good. I expect to know where my boyfriend is at all times" Katara giggled.

"Well if I had things my way then I would spend all of my time with you" Aang smirked. Katara blushed at his words.

"Why do you always have to say things that you know will make me blush?" She pouted.

"I just can't help it, plus you're really cute when you blush like that" Aang answered.

"You are such a tease!" Katara playfully smacked his chest. Aang chuckled he pulled his left arm out and reached for his staff.

"You up for some gliding?" Aang asked.

"Only if you promise not to drop me" Katara replied.

"I won't drop you sweetie. I promise"

With that, Aang opened his glider and set it behind him. Katara wrapped her arms around him and held on to him with a tight grip. He wrapped his left arm around her and held the glider with his right arm.

"Ready?" He asked.

"Ready!" Katara smiled at him.

Not waiting any longer Aang jumped up and they started soaring through the sky. Katara panicked and nearly squeezed the life out of Aang as they flew until she got used to being in the air. They agreed on going over to Aang's house. After a half hour of flying, the lovers landed in front of Aang's house.

"Is Gyatso home?" Katara asked.

"No, he has some business with the white lotus and won't be home until next week" Aang answered.

"So we have the place to ourselves?" Katara asked with half-lid eyes and a seductive tone. Aang winked at her in response. They walked into the house and Aang pulled Katara up the stairs with him.

"We're already going to your bedroom? Not that I mind of course, I just want to freshen up before we do anything" Katara said.

"Ha ha. Get those dirty thoughts out of your mind young lady. There is something I want to show you first" Aang chuckled. He opened the door the door to his room and they walked in. Katara looked around to see if there was anything new. This wasn't her first time in Aang's room. Growing up, the two had many sleepovers at each other's houses. For so long she fantasized about her and Aang doing the nasty in his room and hoped that she wouldn't have to wait long for her dream to become reality now that they were together. Aang let go of her hand and walked up the large bookshelf he kept at one corner of his room.

'Is he going to show me a new book?' Katara questioned herself. Aang turned around and spoke.

"Since we're going to be more honest with each other going forward, I want you to know everything. What I'm about to show you is something I never wanted you to see before because I was scared of how you would react. Now I believe it's only right that I show you"

He turned back to the bookshelf and pulled out a blue book. The shelf started to roll forward, revealing a dark room. Katara eyes widened, Aang managed to surprise her again and it wasn't even morning yet. Aang went into the room with her behind him. There wasn't any light until he pulled the switch. A light turned on from the ceiling and Katara saw pictures of herself everywhere. The pictures covered up the walls, there wasn't a space that was left uncovered. The left and right walls had multiple pictures while the wall in front of her was just a huge poster of her.

"You made a shrine for me?" She turned back to Aang who was rubbing the back of his neck again, looking at her nervously.

"Y-yeah I did…" he stuttered, hoping that she wouldn't be weirded out. Katara looked back to the photos, astonished and feeling insecure.

"It's bigger than the shrine I have for you…"

"It's not tha-…wait! Your shrine for me?" Aang exclaimed. Surprised at what she had just said. She turned back to him, flustered.

"I have pictures of you set up in my closet but…", she gestured to all the pictures in the room, "not as much as this. At most it's just ten pictures and I light up an incense for it whenever I tried…well "talking" to it. I would usually speak my feelings for you to it"

Aang stared at her and then began to smile, "Well I'm glad to know I'm not the only weirdo here with a shrine"

"I guess you're not" Katara laughed. She jumped on to him and wrapped her arms around his neck, "Thank you for showing me this Aang. Now I know that you and I are truly meant for each other"

Aang returned the embrace happily. The lovers broke apart and left the shrine room, making sure to close it as they stepped out. They both went back downstairs and into the kitchen. Aang grabbed a bowl and filled it up with water while sat on the counter. Katara's face still had some bruises and he offered to heal them with his water bending. Aang started the healing process on her left eye and as he was doing so, Katara remembered a certain earth bender.

"So Haru…" Katara spoke, waiting on Aang to tell her about what he did to Haru. Aang perked up, remembering that he had yet to tell her.

"Two months after I killed Jet, Sokka told me how Haru tried talking you at the party…I think it was Toph's party at her mansion. We go to a lot of parties now that I think about it" said Aang.

"I guess" Katara shrugged, "What exactly did my brother tell you?"

"That Haru was trying to flirt with you the whole time but he mentioned that you barely paid him any attention"

"Sokka wasn't wrong. I was more focused on you talking to some girl that I didn't know. The girl in green with pony tail"

Aang moved the healing water away from her face as he tried to remember who Katara was talking about.

"Girl in green with a pony tail…Oh! I was taking to Jin. She was my lab partner during biology. We were just catching up since we didn't see each other for a while" Aang explained.

"Oh okay. Guess I don't need to worry about killing her then" Katara nonchalantly said.

"Let's just try not to kill anyone for now. I belong to you and you only" Aang assured her and then gave her a quick kiss to her cheek. Katara smiled at the affection her beloved gave her. Then Aang spoke again.

"Compared to what I did to Jet, Haru didn't suffer…much."

Last Year

Aang couldn't be more annoyed. Just when Jet was finally gone, here came Haru who decided he wanted Katara. It didn't help that the earth bender was considered one of the most handsome boys at school according to most of the girls and some boys.

'Out of all the girls at school, he just has to go for my goddess. What am I going to do with this guy?', Aang thought to himself. From what Sokka had told him, Katara didn't really talk to him since her attention was elsewhere but that wasn't going to deter Haru.

Two weeks passed since Toph's party. It was evening time when Aang at the library studying for a philosophy exam he had coming up. As the avatar, it was a requirement for him to take that class which Aang didn't mind since he found the subject interesting. As he looked through his flash cards of quotes said by famous philosophers, he felt a hand on his right shoulder. The air bender looked up to see Haru standing behind him.

"Sup Aang!" Haru greeted him.

'Great…him' Aang put up his brightest and fakest smile. "Hey Haru. How you doing?"

"I'm good man. I've been hoping that I could talk to you" the earth bender replied. Aang stacked up his flash cards before replying.

"What did you want to talk to me about?"

"Well I was hoping I could talk to you about Katara"

'This cannot be happening right now'

"What about Katara?" Aang asked, though he feared what Haru's answer would be.

"I really like her and I think we would be great together, but I don't know how I can get her to look at me. Since you and her are like childhood best friends then I was hoping that maybe you could help me" Haru explained.

'Over my dead body you fuc-…wait I can turn this around'

Aang stood up and placed a hand on Haru's shoulder. "As long as you promise me that you'll be good to her then I'll help"

"Holy crap really?!" Haru exclaimed. A librarian made a shush sound at him, indicating to keep his voice down while in the library. Aang packed up his school work into his bag and suggested that they leave the library. The boys walked side by side and got out of the building. Aang turned to look at Haru.

"Mind if we go over at Lake Luna?" Aang asked.

"Yeah I don't mind, I can drive us both there if you want to" Haru replied.

'Perfect!'

"That would be swell"

They hopped into Haru's green Jeep and drove out to the docks. During the drive, Aang got to know his romantic rival a lot more. Haru's parents owned a small grocery store in downtown and Haru was an excellent singer with dreams of signing with a label in Los Angeles. From what Aang could tell, the earth bender was a very nice guy and could even see himself being friends with him. After a forty minute drive, they arrived at Lake Luna.

"Didn't Koko drown at this lake during the party?" Haru asked as they stepped out of the Jeep.

"Yeah she did" Aang confirmed.

"I remember hearing people at school saying that she was supposed to be a very good swimmer. Don't see how she could have accidentally drowned."

"Well everyone at this party was drunk, including me and the gang. Maybe she was too wasted to swim" Aang suggested. Haru just shrugged his arms in response. They walked to the edge of the lake and looked around. No one else was around but them.

"So why did you wanna come here?" Haru wondered.

"I like coming out here to meditate. Doing meditation here with Mother Nature just feels perfect" Aang answered. "So tell me Haru, when did you realize that you liked Katara?"

"Ever since I first laid eyes on her. She is just so…beautiful. She's smart, kind, and has to be the strongest water bender I've ever met." Haru looked out to the lake as he fantasized about Katara. Aang looked down at his reflection within the lake.

"Yeah…Katara is pretty amazing" Aang sighed as he saw watched his reflection turn into an image of his goddess. "She's the sweetest person I know and absolutely breathtaking. Her piercing cerulean eyes, her smooth skin, her long hair, and smile…Katara is just so perfect."

"You two are best friends but it sounds like you're in love with her" Haru teased.

"I am in love with her" Aang said with no hesitation. Haru snapped his neck towards Aang and looked at him with wide eyes, his shoulders tensed up. The air bender just kept looking down at the water, smiling.

"Did you want us to come out here just so that you can tell me to back off?" Haru demanded, his eyes narrowed at Aang, "To fight me for her?"

"No Haru. I'm not going to fight you for her" Aang replied, still not looking back at him. Haru let himself ease up, his shoulders slumped down. He looked back to the water, wondering what Aang's goal was.

Aang stepped back from the edge of the lake and stood behind Haru.

"I'm going to kill you for her" he stated. Before Haru could react, Aang put his arms up and swirled them in a circular motion. Haru turned around to face Aang and attempt to use his earth bending but stopped as he felt his lungs start to constrict. The oxygen was getting pulled away from his lungs. A ball of air was surrounding his head, pulling away his ability to breathe and making him suffocate. Haru started to choke and gasp for air. He looked to Aang who had was just smiling at his suffering.

"I'm not letting filth like you get anywhere near my Katara" Aang spoke with a chilling tone.

Haru felt the last of his oxygen sucked out of his mouth. The world from his eyes darkened as he collapsed to the ground. Aang let go of the oxygen he sucked out of Haru and let it go freely into the air. He knelt down to check for a pulse and found none. Aang had done it again, he took another life. All for Katara's sake and he still didn't feel guilty. Aang had to hide the body and make sure that no one could find it. Unlike Jet, Haru had parents that cared about him and wouldn't stop until they found him. Aang was going to have to bury him.

The sun began to set as Aang pulled Haru's body back to his jeep and placed him into the trunk. He fished through Haru's jean pockets and found the keys. He closed the trunk and drove the Jeep to the far left side of the lake. After parking the car behind some trees, Aang turned the car off, pulled his backpack with him and stepped out. He looked towards the trunk where Haru's body stayed.

"I think you and I could have been great friends Haru, but you made the mistake of pursuing after my goddess and I can't let that slide. I'm sorry things had to end this way…you could have had a great singing career"

Aang spread his legs to each side, bent down and stomped on the ground with his right foot. The ground beneath the Jeep sunk down, taking the vehicle with it. Aang had dug ten feet hole with the Jeep at the bottom of it. Aang stomped on his left foot and closed the hole, leaving the Jeep and Haru buried deep down. Aang checked his surroundings to make sure that he was alone and fortunately he was.

Unfortunately for Aang, he didn't have his glider with him so he couldn't fly away from the lake. 'Guess I'm walking home.'

Present night

"So you just…sucked the air out of his lungs…I didn't even know air benders could do that" Katara muttered. Aang had kept up with his healing while he told her how he had killed Haru. Her blackened left eye had lightened and healed up nicely.

"It's a forbidden air bending technique. All master air benders can do it but because we cherish life so much, we never use it and restrict any use of it." Aang explained.

"Yet you still used it to kill Haru."

"To keep him away from you. Forbidden or not, I'll do anything for you Katara"

Anything for you…the words echoed in Katara's mind. It was like what both their mothers had said, and it proved to Katara that once again that Aang was truly meant for her. They loved each other so much that they were willing to kill anyone.

Aang pulled her off the counter and held her in his arms. Katara instinctively wrapped her legs around his waist and put her arms around his neck. She rested her head on the crook of his neck and shoulder as Aang carried her out of the kitchen and to the living room. He sat down on the couch with her still in his arms. He loosened his arms around her while she unwrapped her legs but kept her arms around his neck. Katara rested forehead against Aang's as they stared into each other's eyes with love.

"Aang"

"Yes sweetie?"

"Let's get married"
