Chapter 23: I Would
By KirariSoldier


I would give my life for you-
You mean the world to me-
(Chorus: Baby, Baby, Baby)
You know I love you-
(Chorus: Come on, yea, yea)
Toghter we can run away-
Just me and you-
Will you run away with me?-

The day I wrote these words for you I cried-
I could have died that day, a happy and complete man-
'Cause in the palm of my hands every thin' I dreamed fo' and mo-
And you know that I'm down for your's-
The reason that I made you my wife-
Is 'cause you see me, the real me-
And love me uncondintionally-
And that's why I breathe and live for you and the kids-

You are more than this fame could ever give-
And know my life is satisfyed and complete-
My visions' comin' true of me and you, right, right-
Placin' rings on each other's fingers, sayin' "I do-
You stuck with me through my thick and my thin-
I love you-

Frankie Jay, "I Would"


Haru sat alone at a bar looking sullen. "Man- (hic) -She just left- (hic) me- (hic) for that avatar-
(hic) guy-" Haru said inbetween druken hiccups. "Hey, life is tough. Why do you think I run this bar?" The Bar Tender said with annyonce. "Ok bub, you need to leave, closing time." The Bar Keep said in a gruff, surly vocie. "Sure! Heidi Ho! Whee-- I'm out!" Haru said with druken laughter as he stumbled out of the bar. He made his way down the street, passers-by casting dark glances at his druken form. "Such a disgrace." One village woman gossiped to another. "HoHo! These young men get more unresponcible every day!" The other woman responed with a disgusted look.

As Haru stumbled and tripped down the street, Katara's camp came into view. He continued to walk until he came to her tent. He quickly walked into her tent to find Katara and Aang kissing passionatly. "Hey- (hic) Dude- (hic) What are you doing with my girl- (hic)" Haru questioned in his druken tone. "Haru! Are you drunk!" Katara said as she lept from her current spot under Aang's being. "Hey, Katara? What are you doing?" Aang questioned looking like he could kill Haru. "Aang!
He's drunk! He needs a detoxe!" Katara almost screamed. "Ok, but make it quick!" Aang demanded as he lounged back out on her bed.

Katara took hold of Haru's shoulders and guided him out of her tent, and to her attending women's tent. "Ayaka,
this is Haru. Haru, this is Ayaka. Ayaka, he needs a detoxe quick!" Katara said as she pulled up a chintz chair for Haru to sit. "Ok Miss Katara. Should we begin immediatly?" Ayaka, Katara's Lady-In-Waiting asked in a curtious tone. "Yes! Other wise he will passout! My guess is that he had way too much of that imported wine from Shinji Fukai." Katara said as she whipped a damp cloth across Haru's forehead. "Yes, Ma'am." Ayaka said as she took hold of a deep basin and began to fill it with various herb mixtures and concoctions.

Soon the basin was filled to the brim with a foul-smelling mixture of Satarian orchid, Enchanted barley from the Lunar Planes of Elysion, dried Jupitarian rose petals, and essence of Unagi Eel. The mixture smelled horid, but Haru was made to devour the whole basin. "What is this!" Haru said in disgust as he tried to spit the potion out. "Our special Detoxe formula. You where about to pass out from too much wine." Katara said as she helped the newly sane Haru to Ayaka's bed. "Ayaka, will you excuse us?" Katara requested in a regal way. "Yes, Ma'am." And with that last word,
Ayaka was gone. Katara looked back to Haru. Her heart began to pound excitedly. The sight of him with his dark, raven locks stuck to his face. Glistening sweat on his face gave him an exotic look. He enchanted her. She took in every ounce of his shirtless-body.

The perfectly toned muscular chest, skin tanned to perfection. He was a shirtless wounder. At the moment Katara's heart skipped a beat. Why was she feeling these emotion of arousal from one who was not her bethrothed? 'Stop! Stop! Stop!' She mentally scolded herself for having such thoughts. 'Haru may look perfect... All that muscle on one MAN... What a'
The she gave herself a mental lurch as she tried to pull her head out of the gutter. And then his perfect hand met her perfect cheek. His perfect lips met her perfect ones. It was a moment of pure bliss. One they had shared before. Katara's eyes closed in pleasure as she deepened the kiss. Then her eyes shot open when she realized what she was doing, pulled away from what seemed a living god.

"What just hap--" She was cut off by Haru. "Katara, why do you love him?" He asked as he caressed her cheek with a thumb. Katara did not answer. She savored the touch of his skin on her skin, and put her body to his. At her actions Haru let out a yelp of surprise. "What are you doing?" He asked with a suductive look on his face. "I don't know." Katara said as he pressed her lips to his, placing a vicous kiss upon him. Suddenly Hary took her actions as a sign, and layed her on her back. "What are we doing?" She asked, her eyes glazed with passion. "Who do you love?" He asked as he placed his lips to her neck. "I- I- don't know-" She said as she was suddenly over come with sadness. Why had she gone this far with a blast-from-the-past?
