Sarah went into her hut and flopped onto her bed, "Man this is bad. Turaga Vakama will be so angry." Sarah sighed and got up. She went over to her mirror and looked at herself. She had smoke on her face and her clothes were singed, 'Guess I better go wash up and change.' Sarah went over to her dresser and pulled out a blue tank top with a pair of blue and white shorts. She grabbed her blue sunglasses and left.
Tahu sat on a rock, looking at the matoran. He sighed, he couldn't stop thinking about Sarah, "Tahu are you okay?" Lewa came over and sat next to Tahu, "Yah I'm fine. I just can't stop thinking about Sarah." "You like her don't you?" "Yah I like her. I mean who wouldn't? She's pretty, strong, and she can lava surf really well." "I think you should talk to her later. After the Kohlii game." "I'll try. Thanks Lewa." "No problem. Hey where are you going?" "To the hot springs. I need to look good for Sarah right?" "Right. See ya." Tahu waved to Lewa and left.
Sarah got to the hot springs and looked around. When she was sure that no one was there, she took off her shorts, revealing the dark-red bottom of her bikini. Sarah slipped into the water and dunked under the water. She came up and laid back. Unknown to Sarah though, Tahu was almost to the hot springs. He stepped through the bushes and stopped. Tahu was speechless. In front of him, Sarah was resting in the water, "Sarah?" Sarah gasped and looked at Tahu, "Um, maybe I should go…" "No its okay. I was just…" "Cleaning up." "Yah. What are you doing here?" ""I was going to get cleaned up myself. Would you mind if I?" "No go ahead." Sarah scooted over and let Tahu slip into the water. Tahu looked over at Sarah, who was looking at the locket she was wearing, "Who's that?" Tahu pointed to the picture of Sarah and Lhikan, "That's my old mentor Lhikan. He was killed by Makuta 10 years ago." "Oh sorry." "Its okay, I'm over it." Sarah dropped her head back and closed her eyes. Tahu looked at her face and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, "What are you doing?" "Oh sorry." "Its okay." Sarah leaned her head on Tahu's shoulder. Tahu wrapped an arm around her shoulders, "Hey Tahu?" "Yah Sarah?" "Thanks a lot for what you did earlier. I mean with Pohatu." Sarah kissed Tahu on the cheek and left. Tahu fingered his cheek and smiled.
" Welcome our heroes, the Toa Nuva!" The Kohlii stadium erupted with the cheers of matoran. The toa all took their seats and watched the Kohlii tournament start. Tahu looked around and saw Sarah sitting with the Turaga. He smiled and turned his attention back to the game.
As soon as the game was over, Tahu went to find Sarah. He saw her over by the edge of the stadium, "Hey Sarah." "Hey Tahu your team did well." "Yah but they could've won." "They'll win next time. Want to go for a walk?" "Sure." Tahu hurried after Sarah. They both walked silently through Le-Wahi. Tahu gently grasped Sarah's hand in his own, "Tahu?" "Yah Sarah?" "Could I ask you something?" "Sure go ahead." "Why do you care so much about me? I mean, wouldn't you rather hang out with Gali?" "Gali's already going out with Kopaka. Sarah, when I first saw you, you totally blew me away. I saw you and I thought, she couldn't be real. But you are real, and I'm glad you are." "Tahu…" "Shh I'm not done. Sarah, I've developed feelings for you since we met. I've fallen in love with you . Sarah, I love you." Sarah lowered her head, her eyes brimming with tears. Tahu sighed and pulled Sarah into a hug. She wrapped her arms around Tahu's neck as he buried his face in her neck. They stayed like that for awhile before Sarah pulled away, "Tahu, I think I've developed feelings for you too." Tahu smiled and kissed Sarah on the lips. She gasped and Tahu deepened the kiss. He licked her lips, which opened and allowed his tongue into her mouth. Sarah moaned and broke away, breathless, "Whoa…" "I know. Come on, let's go back to Ta-Koro." Tahu grasped Sarah's hand and they ran back to Ta-Koro. Tahu took her to his hut and shut the door, "Tahu, what are you doing?" "I thought it would be better if we had some privacy." Sara" smiled and hugged Tahu.
"Well now, what do we have here? The Toa of Fire is in love with Lhikan's little human." Makuta laughed as he watched Tahu and Sarah kiss, "Why does this matter to us my love?" Makuta turned to the 14-year-old girl behind him. She had blond hair, blue eyes, and she wore a tight, black, midriff top with a pair of tight, black, leather pants, "This matters to us Louise, because we can kidnap this girl and use her against the Toa." "Oh." Makuta smiled and wrapped an arm around Louise's waist. She leaned against Makuta and kissed his cheek, "Well my love, when do we attack?" "Soon."
