Kaori giggled silently and snuck away from the others. She wandered off a bit and came to a lake. there was a large waterfall empting out into the lake. She stretched her arms out and yawned. It was early in the morning but she felt like a swim. She began to unbutton her top when she heard something. Quickly she turned around, her eyes darting everywhere. She picked up a rock and threw it into the trees.
"Ow!"
"Sokka?"
"..."
"Sokka why are you spying on me?"
"I wasn't spying on you! I was...protecting you,"
"Protecting me?"
"Yeah in case any theives or bandits came,"
"Well that's very noble of you but I assure you that I can take care of myself,"
She giggled and he blushed. She tilted her head.
"How come you didn't wake the others when you saw I was gone?" she asked.
"They need their sleep,"
"Oh okay..." she paused," Would you like to go for a swim with me?"
"Um...no thanks,"
"Come on! It will be fun! Swimming is great fun. Truely it is. And it's not like I'm asking you to skinny dip with me,"
His ears turned red. She burst out laughing.
"Look I'm going for a swim and if you want to stand there be my guest,"
She dipped her toes in the water.
"Eek! It's cold..." she said startled.
She shrugged and dove right in. Her head didn't come up for air for several minuetes.
"Teken!"
Kaori shot up in the water. What was that? It was like she heard it in the back of her mind. The name sounded so firmiliar yet she couldn't grasp it.
"Kaori are you okay?" Sokka asked noticing how she was just standing there.
"Oh I'm fine," she said.
Then she smiled mischeviously. She dove under water quickly. Sokka scanned the top of the water for her but couldn't see her. Kaori jumped up and splashed him. He was covered with water. She burst out laughing at him again.
"Great. Now I'm wet,"
"The more reason to come swimming,"
She swam over to him and grabbed his ankle.
"Hey let go of me! I said let- Ahhhh!"
She pulled him in. When he came up for air Kaori splashed him. He laughed and splashed her back.
"Bet you can't beat me to that rock," she said.
"Yeah right. I'm from a water tribe. Waters our thing," Sokka replied.
He beat her. Kaori pouted and Sokka laughed.
"I could of won if I didn't step on that rock," she complained.
"No way, I beat you and that's that,"
"Fine,"
They heard voices off in the distance. It was Kaori and Aang. They waded over to land and Sokka pulled on his shoes which he had taken off after being pulled in.
"Sokka..."
"Yeah Kaori,"
"I wish...I wish I had met you earlier,"
"What do you mean?"
"If I had met you earlier then I would have spent more time with you. This side of me, that doesn't remember anything...really likes you,"
He blushed.
"So yeah...I just wanted to say that...and oh right-"
She leaned over and kissed him on the lips.
"I wanted to do that to,"
"Prove to me your'e not predictable. Kiss me,"
There it was again. That stupid voice in her head.
"Well uh...I guess we better be getting back," Sokka said.
They raced back over to where Katara and Aang were.
"Where were you guys?" Katara asked.
"Were you kissing?" Aang asked laughing.
"Well actually-"
Sokka put his hand over Kaori's mouth.
"She got lost," he said.
"Well anyway we spotted Prince Zuko and his army here on the island. We better get going or they'll find Aang. How they tracked us here though is beyond me," Katara said.
"Zuko? Who's Zuko?"
Kaori put her hand on her head.
"Kaori did you hear me?" Sokka asked.
"What no- no I didn't. What did you say?" Kaori asked.
"I asked if you wanted to come with us," Sokka said.
They were all sitting on Appa. Sokka had his hand reached out to Kaori to help her up. Kaori tilted her head and smiled.
