So…yeah…last chapter…here it is :)

"Hello Tahu." I quietly greeted him meekly, waiting for rebuff.

Yet, no rebuff came.

"I am…" Tahu looked as though he was choking, "Sorry…I never meant to take it that far, and now that-"

I shushed him with a finger to his lips.

"You know how you said water was the weaker element," I took a deep breath.

I saw his head nod dolefully, "I-"

I cut him off again. "I figure you were," I turned my head away, 'Do it for the sake of the team.' My mind told me as I forced the words off my tongue. "Right. Water is one of the weaker ele-"

The rest of my sentence froze and died into nothing. For one of the most shocking reasons. A reason that had never in my memory, taken place.

This reason?

Tahu, Toa Nuva of Fire, guardian of the flame, pigheaded, arrogant, loyal, hotheaded Tahu was…hugging me.

I sat frozen in shock as he quietly spoke, remorse woven into the words, "I figure both fire and water have cons and pros. I also figure that I can be a little, annoying at times."

I snorted, "A little?"

Tahu sniffed indignantly, "At least I'm apologizing!" I nodded, allowing this. "But as I was saying, I also reason that fire and water have enough pros and cons to last a lifetime, and that we shouldn't waste time on them. Water and fire are equal in my eyes. Although I doubt that fire is on the same level as water in your eyes." Tahu released me, and for the first time in the duration of this conversation, looked me straight in the eyes. "And I accept that. After all, I deserve to be looked down on by you after all I've done."

I stared at Tahu in shock. Never before in my lifetime had I ever heard of this mighty toa of fire apologizing this straightforwardly. NEVER. And as I numbly watched him slowly get up and begin to walk away, I found my voice.

"Tahu." I sighed, lowering my eyes and glancing the water. "There is absolutely no reason as to why I should look down on you at all," I raised my eyes to his still form, and stood, taking a few silent steps forwards. "Sure you can be a little, annoying, as you so adequately put it. But," I breathed out and continued forwards, "As you said, fire and water each have their cons and pros, and I don't see the logic as to why I should look down on you at all."

I closed the remaining gap of space that separated us, and placed my arms around him in a hug. "We're equals." I breathed as I felt him relax and chuckle lowly, turning around to return my hug.

YES!! I finished! But…it was so OC!! GAH!! Either way, hope you enjoyed reading :)
