Meanwhile...(bum bum bum)
"There's no one else left in this stinking city," Prince Zuko exclaimed.
"Well not many people are up at two in the morning," Uncle Iroh said.
"Uncle I am not giving up,"
"I know you're not,"
Prince Zuko looked around. She had to be somewhere on this island. Somewhere in the city. Maybe she was safe in an islanders home. Maybe she was alright. Maybe she was...
No! No, he would not think like that. Kaori was alright. She is okay. But there was no garentee. She could be- wouldn't be... But there was always a chance. Zuko pushed away the thought and saw a light on in a nearby building.
"I'm going to try over there," he mumbled.
"Suit yourself,"
They knocked on the door and an old man answered. He looked up at them and gasped. He slammed the door but Prince Zuko caught it.
"We didn't come here to threaten and hurt you. I just have a question," Prince Zuko said.
"What is it?" the old man asked supiciously. (so sorry for spelling)
"I was wondering if you saw a girl with black hair, and she is kind of tall. She is wearing a white shirt and a tan skirt. Her name is Kaori. Please if you've seen her tell me,"
"Kaori... Kaori... That name rings a bell. Oh yes," he paused for a moment,"I remember now. I will show you where she rests,"
"Thank you,"
The old man took them back by the docks and past. They went up a trail and finally to the top of a hill. Prince Zuko felt his heart sink.
"She died yesterday. So young too," the old man said sadly.
The old man walked away. Zuko stared at the grave. No. No it couldn't be Kaori. Not his Kaori. The gravestone simply said Kaori on it. He sunk to his knees, staring at the grave. No. No. No.
"Prince Zuko..." Uncle began.
Zuko shook his head to stop him from speaking. He didn't want Uncle Iroh to speak right now. He was confused and angry. It was his fault she was dead. He left her. He made her run so he could cover for her. It was all his fault. His fault...His fault...
A guard ran up to them.
"Prince Zuko, sir, we spotted the avatar leaving the city just moments ago,"
Zuko was silent for a moment. The avatar... He had no reason to stay at the city. No reason at all. In fact, all now he had left in his life was the goal of going home. Getting his dignity back.
"Quickly we must catch them!" he exclaimed.
"Prince Zuko I do not think that now is the right time.." Uncle Iroh said.
"If we don't go then we'll lose the avatar! This is our only chance."
Uncle Iroh shook his head and followed slowly behind Prince Zuko and the guard. None of them however reilized that there were flowers infront of the grave. Behind the flowers was a message.

"So you need a name," Sokka said.
"A name? Why would I need a name?" Kaori asked.
"Because then we won't have to call you that girl," he replied.
Kaori nodded slowly. They were sitting on Appa gliding through the air.
"So what name do you want to be called?" Katara asked.
"Um...I don't really know any good names," Kaori said.
"How about...Sarah!" Aang said.
"Sarah... Well it's good enough for now," Kaori said.
"I like that name. Good thinking Aang," Katara said.
Sokka smiled. He noticed Sarah though. She was looking away from them all and frowning. He went over to her and sat down.
"Are you okay?" he asked her.
"Sure," she said trying to smile.
"Come on, you can tell me,"
"Well if you must know...I remember something..."
"Really? What is it?"
"A name...Teken I think,"
"Teken?"
"Yeah,"
"Wonder what that could mean,"
"I have the same question Sokka."
He put his arm around her and kissed her forehead. Kaori smiled and closed her eyes. She was happy. There was an odd feeling she had then. The same kind of feeling she had when she remembered the name Teken.
She couldn't place her finger on that feeling though.
"I'm so glad I met you Teken,"
"I'm glad I met you too,"
"Look Teken, land,"
"We must have made it,"
"I'm glad,"
She leaned forward and looked him right in the eyes.
"If I kiss you will you get mad?"
"No, not at all,"
"Good,"
Kaori smiled in her sleep. Everyone else had fallen asleep to. Except Aang who was humming a song. But in her sleep when no one, not even herself, could hear she whispered something. But there was no way for her to remember what she had said. Katara, Aang, and even Sokka couldn't hear it.
"Zuko..."

Okay so yes the feeling "Sarah" (thanks for that name!) is having is like love. Now yes it's soon but she lost her memory so she really doesn't know when to fall in love. She's like a rock.. But she has this feeling with Sokka and claims it's love.
So next chappie is gonna be a good one! Trust me!
