Nobody's Listening Act 2 - Chapter 2: Why
By KirariSoldier

Hey...

I have decided after numores emails not to re-write this story. You all have shown me you truly like it, so I will continue the 'Nobody's Listening Saga.
Thank you to all of my reiviewers! Also, I will not be able to update this weekend, or all of next week, I am going to be out of the country! A trip to Osaka...

And for this chapter, you can kinda call it a promo for the next 2 chapters...which are bound to be full of steamy romance, dreaded suspence, and plenty of that so-called drama...

Always,
Danielle

/ Early Morning /

He stood in front of his full lenght mirror as a tending women dressed him in battle armor. A stone look upon his normally bright face, now nothing more than a look that would make anyone quiver in fear. The tending women finished his dressing, and was promptly excused. He looked a knight in shinning armor, only he was dressed in traditonal Imperial Watertribe Sento Yoroi, or battle armor. He was gleeming from head-to-toe,
even though he looked like he was about to fall apart from despair. After he willed away all his attendents, Aang collapsed into a giant chintz chair and covered his face with his hands. heaving deep breaths as he tried to hold back tears of sorrow.

Soon after, a quite knock came from the solid oak doors that shielded him from the eyes of passers-by. He did nothing, not even looked up to see who it might be. The almost silent pounding at the door preisisted, he could take it no more. "Who ever is knocking, please go..." He said with a weak vocie as the doors where slowly opened. When the heavy doors where fully open, they exposed a frail looking women and her child.
Aang looked up to see his wife and his son. His wife, Katara, looking sickly, and his son, Yue Sheng, looking happy and full of life, resting on her hip as she struggled to hold him still as he reached and whined for his father.

When thier eyes meet, each felt a jolt of sadness, and that something was ending, something they had both hoped would last forever. And when their eyes meet, Katara's welled with tears, her face now streaked with streams of tears. Aang quickly lept from his seat and ran to his wife and child. When he approached them, she backed away. She grinded her teeth togther to stay her tears, but it was no use, they dripped down her face with not control. Aang slowly walked up to his beloved and son, when he was but 2 feet from them. Katara quickly dashed into his arms, and buried her face in his chest.

Aang held his loved ones in his arms as tight as he could, never wanting to let them go. This was going to be that last time Mother, Father, and Child would ever be togther.

She was soaked throught to the bone, her hair a tangled mess of knots and snags. Even though she was so close to the one she loved most, nothing could stop her shivering and sneezing. She looked up to her husband, and placed a gental kiss on his lips before her knees buckled and she fell to the dampened earth below. As she feel she caught ballance by holding onto his legs, only to have him fall to the ground along with her.

Both husband and wife where covered in mud, sitting on the ground next to an over-flowing man-made koi-pond. His fingers tangled in her hair, her hands losening the knot on his sash.

Stay tuned for more, romance, drama, and suspence!
