Author's Notes: Next on the list: K-M. About these... out of all the words I could have used for 'K', I used 'Kindred.' Kinda weird, I know, but I like it. Lips I really didn't know what to name so it got stuck with a letter I hadn't used yet. And Moon was the very first one I wrote, and looking back I might have approached it differently, but it's nice. It's one of those scenes I think every Tokka writer has felt the compulsion to write, so I just went with it.

I hope you enjoy, and please review!

Kindred

Toph and Sokka were kindred spirits.

The blind girl and the non-Bender were alike in the way that they were different.

She was blind; therefore she was different. She couldn't see as they saw, couldn't appreciate beauty quite like they could. Sometimes, she thought she could see better than they could.

He wasn't a Bender; therefore he was different. He couldn't fight like they could, couldn't offer the same kind of protection they offered. Sometimes he thought his fighting was stronger than theirs.

The blind Earthbender and the seeing warrior were more alike than they thought. They were kindred spirits.

Lips

Toph took a basic Earthbending stance and breathed. With a sharp jab of her foot she raised a rock and with a fist hit it, sending it whizzing above Sokka, who ignored it. Suddenly she collapsed.

"I can't stand it anymore!"

"Can't stand what?" asked Sokka, not looking up from his machete.

She sat up across from him. "We're not doing anything!"

"Then find something to do."

"Fine." She squinted her blind eyes at him and tapped her fingers on the ground.

"Toph, what're you doing?"

"Trying to find your lips."

"Why?"

"So I can kiss you."

And she did.

Moon

Toph stood very still, her back pressed against a tree and her feet planted firmly in front of her. Feeling him tip his head up—the vibrations traveled down his spine and up her legs—Toph pushed herself up and walked over to him. He tensed when she settled down next to him.

After a moment of silence she said, "If I could see one thing, it would be the moon."

His heart sped up as he asked, "Why?"

She tilted her head down to the Earth. "It must be very beautiful for you to stare at it so much."
