-------------------
The two stared at each other, the more hurt they got the longer they stood apart.
Then, Zuko walked towards her, or so she thought….
He ignored her and walked straight on past, his golden eyes fixated on the marble floors.
Katara shed a silent tear, letting it hit the ground. She continued shedding silent tears as he was halfway down the hall. Suddenly, she turned around and shouted, "Zuko! Stop!"
She caught him in a hug from behind, crying into his back.
"I'm….sorry….."
She heard him sigh, not a hard one either. Looking at his side, she saw a bloody cut with bruises, the fabric around the cut all bloody and ragged.
"You're hurt…."
Zuko paused and slowly closed his eyes.
"Katara…..that's to the cut you gave me…..that cut runs deeper….than the love…we ever had….." He whispered.
"….." Katara was silent as she held on tighter.
"Let go of me." Zuko muttered, as he tore her arms away from his. He continued to walk down the hall, completely ignoring the cut on his side.
Katara looked at his retreating figure and surprisingly, she didn't cry, not even a single drop, that's because the rain were the tears, the tears she created.
--------------------
Zuko walked into his room and closed the door behind him. He gritted his teeth and leaned himself by his forearm, slowly leaned his head on his arm and tears spilled out.
He watched the world in front of him blur as the tears came faster, soft falling sounds of his tears echoing in his mind.
He heard the rain gain strength, falling harder onto the earth.
Biting his bottom lip, he pulled out a ring, with the yin yang symbol on the diamond and the blue and red circled each other.
The diamond ring blurring again, he held it in his hand and walked towards his bed.
Lying down, he held the ring in his hand until the edges created marks on the palm of his hand.
---------------
Katara pulled off the necklace that Zuko gave her, watching the yin yang symbols circle each other. She sat down on the stone bench, the rain finally clearing up, the gray clouds still lingering in the sky.
She held the necklace pendant to her heart, the wind blowing her tears away.
Again, she stared at the necklace until her vision blurred, tears and sleepiness mixed.
Lying down on the stone bench, she held the necklace a distance from herself, her hand dangling from the sides of the bench, holding the necklace.
Slowly, her eyes closed, the end of her tears sliding down, creating tear stains on the bridge of her nose and creating a small dot on the bench where her head rested.
------------------
Zuko was watching, the ring slowly sliding away from his fingertips, tears also staining the bridge of his nose and creating a small wet, dot on his pillow.
The ring fell out of his fingers, hitting the ground and causing the ring to crack slightly at the middle of the yin yang sign.
Maybe we weren't meant to be……
-----------------
Katara, breathing softly through her mouth, failed to notice the purple necklace slipping out of her grasp.
The necklace slipped through her fingers and hit the ground, cracking in half at the yin yang sign, creating yin and yang to be separated.
Maybe we weren't meant to be……
A/N Ok, I know lots of you are thinking… "Where's the romance and the fluff?" Remember Z man? He told you about how there's more "fluff, angst, drama, and romance" coming?
R&R!
