Here's another chapter for you all. Also, I wanted to say to the people who 'stopped reading because this is Taang', cool, I don't care. I promised there would be Kataang in this and it will happen. Plus, there is a Taang lemon in this, so ha. Thank you for everyone who likes this and doesn't complain, so read on

Aang walked across the roof of his usual vantage point, Toph was already standing there waiting for him. "Toph," He acknowledged. She jumped a little as she turned around to him.

"Jeez, someone needs to put a fucking bell on you or something," She cursed, holding her chest. "You're too sneaky and know way too much about everything."

"That's how I stay alive," His modified voice came out. "Just wondering, are you really going to wear a tube top while fighting crime?"

She looked down at her clothing choice, "It's not like I have a giant rack or anything, they'll stay in."

"That's not what I meant."

"You think someone is going to rape me or something?" She asked, "I can take it off if you want…"

He sighed, "Anyways, Teo said that there has been some chatter about Long Feng running some underground blood trafficking ring. He's been draining runaways and homeless."

Toph smirked and cracked her knuckles, "Then let's go kick his ass! I've been itching for a fight for a while."

"Did you have any idea what you would find when you got there?" Katara asked as she watched Toph run a wet washcloth over his wounds.

Aang shook his head, "No, I thought it was just going to be a basic 'get in, get out' job. I think not knowing what I was going into made it worse."

He dropped down into the sewer, checking his surroundings before letting his guard down. Aang held his arms out as Toph fell perfectly into his arms, "Thanks for dropping in," He joked as he let her down.

"Are you going to tell puns this whole mission?" Toph asked.

"I'm done," Aang said as they walked down the small path beside the sewer water. He noticed a couple times that Toph's head jerked in any direction that made a small sound. "Relax; they won't be able to get the jump on us." Before they could go around the next corner, he held his arm out to stop her from going around. He barely poked his head out and pulled it back, "Looks like we found out spot."

Toph closed her eyes and took a breath, feeling the ground through her shoes, "Well, it's not exactly clear because I'm not putting my bare foot on the shit covered ground…but 2 doormen…6 workers inside and…I think Long Feng is also in there."

"Well let's get this started then," Aang took a silver ball from his coat and turned the corner, he gave it a light squeeze before tossing it to the Vampire to the left of the door, "Here, catch." The Vampire caught the ball and gave it a confused look until the ball illuminated and turned both of them into ashes. Aang led the way to the door, "I told Teo these would work." He grabbed a wooden stake out of his belt and blew a blast of air at the door, blowing the door off its hinges. Aang twirled the stake in his hands as they walked into the room, a group of Vampires around blood packets stacked on a bunch of tables got into an attack position, "Who's first?" They all attacked at once, but they made short work of them. Aang dusted the ash off his jacket, "I hate dealing with these Vamps."

"At least you have a jacket on," Toph grumbled, trying to brush the ash off of her skin. Aang's eyes scanned the room and saw the door on the other end of the room. "There's no escape…he's in there."

"Good, then we can end this," Aang quickly crossed the room and blasted the door open to an image that would forever be burned into his mind. Behind a desk, Long Feng sat prepared for them with a smile on his face. On the ground next to him were a couple of malnourished Vampires, but one in particular caught his attention. "Mom…" He involuntarily uttered.

Long Feng smiled, "Ah, I thought she was just lying about her son being the Avatar…but it looks like she has earned her blood." He took a packet of blood off of his desk and popped off the top and poured it on the ground, his Mother instantly lapping it off the ground.

Aang's fists clenched as he fought the tears that tried to escaped his eyes, "You bastard." Toph growled. She bent the stone behind him, but he quickly dodged it.

There was an opening above him and a street light poured down into the sewer, "It was great seeing you again Avatar, have fun with your family reunion." He jumped up through the opening and closed it behind him.

Toph looked over to Aang whose eyes were still glued to his Mother licking the blood off the ground, she could feel his pain. "I'll take care of the rest of them…" She placed a concerned hand on his shoulder before going to take care of the other Vampires.

He slowly walked over to his Mother who had now rested against the desk, feeling her power coming back to her. Aang knelt down beside her, taking his mask off, "I'm sorry honey," She whispered. "You have no idea how it feels to not have blood…it's like a slow death."

"It's fine," A lone tear ran down his cheek, "You should have stayed with us…we could have taken care of you Mom…it wouldn't have to be this way."

She shook her head, "I was barely able to hold myself back from revealing who you are…you know what you need to do."

"No, absolutely not," Aang wiped his face, "We can take care of you-" She held her hand up.

"No, the things I've done are horrible…I've killed…please put me out of my misery," She begged. His Mom grabbed the stake from his belt and put the tip against her chest, "You need to do it Aang…don't make me live this life anymore."

Aang hesitantly took the stake, feeling the tears run down his face, "I'm so sorry Mom."

She held his face in her hand, "I know you're going to do great things honey…make sure Long Feng can never do this to anyone again." He shut his eyes as he drove the stake into her chest and she turned to ash. Aang's shoulders shook as he cried, he put his mask back on as he heard Toph come back over to him.

"I'm sorry Avatar…is there anything I can do to help?" She asked.

He stood up and shook his head, "No…" Something quickly caught his ear, a ticking noise. "Run!" They both broke out into a sprint and were blown into the wall in the next room. Toph coughed as the smoke settled, she opened her eyes to see she was in Aang's arms, he must had protected her from the bomb. His eyes opened and looked down at her, "Are you okay?" She nodded. "Then let's get out of here."

Katara silently sat across from them as Toph came back with a newly wetted washcloth with hot water. He hissed softly as it touched his skin, but relaxed as Toph continued to wipe his skin, "After that, I had to come back here and look my Father in his eyes and tell him I had to not only kill the love of his life, but my Mother. But you know what I went through…" Katara's gaze went to the floor, remembering her Father's teary eyed face as he had to explain to her what happened. His constant reassurances that it wasn't her fault didn't help her feel better. "Take solace in the fact that you didn't have to look in your Mother's eyes as she died. Even with the situation your Mother had to go through…I think she would happy to know that her daughter is as strong as you are." A sad smile pulled at her lips, she thought about her Mother watching over her from the other side. "So like Toph said…I have nothing against you…it's because of what Long Feng did-ah," Aang pulled away as Toph ran the cloth over his shoulder.

"I'm sorry," She apologized, taking Katara by surprise. Her tone was filled with sorrow, something she had never heard in her voice. "You have a pretty bad cut here."

"I can, uh, fix that if you need me too," Katara offered, earning a weird look from Toph, "I swear I'm not going to suck any blood or anything like that, my thirst is quenched for now. I would just use a simple spell."

"Do whatever you can," Aang told her, taking Toph by surprise this time. She didn't expect him to even let her near him, especially because of what she was. "She said it herself, she's more of a Witch than a Vamp." He turned to see the look of worry in Toph's eyes. "If it will put your mind at ease, you can stand there while she does it." The Earthborn sighed and backed away, Katara got up and got a bowl of water from the kitchen. She placed the bowl on the table and took a calming breath, pretending Toph wasn't hovering behind her, waiting for one wrong move.

She slowly raised her hands from the bowl, a small tendril of water rising into the air with her hands. Katara's hands were a few inches away from his cut that was now covered by the water. Closing her eyes, she let out another breath, "Heal," She whispered. The water began to glow, Toph watched in amazement at her powers. It was a full minute of silence until the water stopped glowing and Katara put the water back in the bowl. Toph ran her fingers over Aang's now perfect skin, not a trace of the cut showed.

"Thank you Katara," Aang said, "You saved me from another pesky scar." He joked, a small chuckle escaping her lips.

Katara stood up, "It's the least I could do." She stumbled slightly, Toph found herself instinctively reaching out to catch her, but she regained her composure. "Sorry, the spell seemed to take more out of me than I thought. I think I'm going to go to bed."

"Do you have everything you need?" Aang asked her, she gave him a nod. "My room is just two doors down from yours, if you need anything, come ask."

"Thank you," She said before returning the bowl back to the kitchen and then going into her room. Katara's eyes adjusted to the Moon lit and collapsed onto her bed with a smile on her face, knowing she had finally made progress with Aang and Toph.

Soft gasps left Toph's mouth as Aang kissed her neck. He was seated against his head board with Toph chest to chest against him, her arms and legs wrapped around him. Her back arched when his hands ran up and down the sides of her body. She always imagined being with the man she loved like this, but she never would have thought it would be Aang. His voice slipped from her lips when his kisses reached the underside of her jaw. They went up to her chin until he finally kissed her lips, their eyes melding together with their foreheads pressed against each other. "You know, I should hate you for all the sleepless night I had. Missing your touch…" She kissed him, "Missing your lips…and not to mention your-"

Aang put his hand over her mouth, "I'm going to stop you before you make this moment less romantic. You know why I didn't tell you…I still think it's a bad idea. I don't want to put you in any danger that you can't handle." He kissed her collar bone, "But I guess being able to be with you is always worth it. I've been looking for an excuse to be with you again."

"Bending me over on an external air conditioning unit worked just fine for you before, why fix what isn't broken?" She smiled.

"Do you see what I mean about you making moments less romantic?" Aang rhetorically asked. "But then again, I knew what I was getting into in the first place."

Toph kissed him again, "You're damn right you did, now make me yours."

"Of course," Their lips connected and he let her down easy on the bed as he took his position above her. She moaned against his lips when she felt him prod her entrance, Toph opened her legs wider, allowing him full access. Her nails went into his back as he slowly entered her for the second time that night. His left hand gripped the end of his bed as he took a slow rhythm inside of her, savoring every moment with the Earth Born. Toph was overcome with pleasure as Aang's thrusts hit deep inside her core, she panted against his neck and her hips began to move against his, adding to the pleasure. Her fingers began to rub her jewel, bringing her closer to her impending climax. Toph's breath began to hitch in the back of her throat and her toes began to curl and-Aang's phone began to ring. Her awaited wave of pleasure stopped with Aang as he turned to the phone, "It's Teo."

She turned his face to hers, "I don't care," Toph panted, "Finish what you were doing." He let it go to voicemail as he continued, his pace a little faster than before, bringing her back to her heightened pleasure. "I'm close," She breathed, "Keep going." She tried her best not to moan loudly as he thrusted harder into her, but he again stopped when the phone rang again.

"He wouldn't be calling if it weren't important," He said.

Toph growled, "You answer that phone and I'll rip your dick off." She rolled him over so that she was straddling him, Toph quickly moved her hips along his length. After ignoring 6 more of Teo's phone calls, Toph was able to get back to the edge of her climax. Aang's thrust into her hit deep inside of her, finally bring her over and she collapsed on his sweaty chest. "It's not as easy if you don't help." He grabbed the phone off of his table and called Teo.

"What's going on Teo?" Aang asked. Toph heard Teo talking on the other side, but was too busy nuzzling up to Aang's neck. "I was busy…I do have a personal life when I'm not wearing my mask…whatever, what's going on?" His hand absent mindedly ran through her hair. "People being drained in the street? How many reported? Okay, that is the usual amount of people per month, but why do you think they had a public display? Okay…I'll look into tomorrow night…Teo, relax. It's probably because we took the Half Breed and I injured Long Feng. We'll look into it, there isn't much we can do right now. Good night Teo." He hung up the phone and let his head hit the head board. "4 girls were publically drained tonight…"

"Why is Teo freaking out? Before we started doing this, it was like 8 or 9 every other week." Toph said.

"One of them was Ty Lee…but they didn't find her body."

Tears poured down the young girl's face as she sat in the corner of the cell she was thrown in. Her hand ran over the mark on her neck but hissed in pain as she touched it. The images of her friends being feasted on by Vampires kept flashing through her mind, bringing more tears to her eyes. She heard some shouting and backed up into the corner even more, hoping if they were coming to finish her off that they would be quick. Some guards ran past her cell towards the shouting that continued to get louder, but where blown back with fire. A man with a blue mask and a coat stopped in front of her cell, fire amplifiers in his hands. He turned them off and got down to his knees in front of the cell and took off his mask. "Ty," It was her boyfriend Zuko. "Come here."

She didn't even want to know why he was there, she was just glad he was here. Ty Lee rushed over to him and hugged him through the bars as she continued to cry, "Please," She cried, "Get me out of here."

"Stand back," He told her. She listened as he turned his amplifiers back on. Zuko aimed his hands at the cell door.

"That won't be necessary Fire Demon." She saw him turn to someone out of her sight. Zuko created two fire balls in his hands, ready to throw it at the unknown man as he walked into view. His piercing gaze stuck more fear into her heart as he unlocked the door to the cage. Once it was open, Zuko pushed the man aside and came into the cell, picking Ty Lee up bridal style. She held onto him tightly as he walked back out of the cell. "I'm sorry for this inconvenience that we might have caused the Demon Overlord." Even Ty Lee could hear the smugness in his voice.

"Don't you speak to me you bloodsucker," Zuko spat, "What you have done cannot be forgiven…you have messed with the wrong human."

He smiled, "I wouldn't use that term around her now…since she is one of us." Ty Lee held on even tighter to Zuko.

"Expect no help from the Demons until you create the day walker cure. If she cannot walk into the sun for more than a month…let's just say you would be so lucky that the Avatar got his hands on you before I do." Zuko threatened, the man's brow furrowed, "You knew who you were messing with when you followed her…you don't fuck with the Demons Long Feng."

Long Feng took a step forwards towards Zuko, "I can do whatever I like, your people follow us, not the other way around. You get us that Half Blood and we can finish the cure for our people, then you get your army and we get everything we were promised…like the Avatar's head. Tell your Father that we are going to need some more blood packets…though you can keep a couple for her…she's going to need it." His sickening laugh sent chills down her spine as Zuko pushed passed him and stormed down the hall. Ty Lee stayed silent as she let everything sink in. Her boyfriend, was a demon and he worked with the people that had attacked her, but this wasn't supposed to happen. She stopped trying to figure it out, knowing that it would only further her confusion. A limo welcomed them as he left the building, the driver held the door open for them as he set her in.

"Go directly to my house, nowhere else. If this car stops for anything more than a red light…" Zuko threatened. The driver nodded understandingly as Zuko got in and shut the door. "Are you okay?" He asked her.

"What's going on Zuko?" She cried, "You work with those Vampires that attacked me? Why did they take me? Why did they bite me?"

Zuko shed his coat and mask, along with his fire amplifiers, before putting his arms around her as she broke down again. "I'm sorry that you had to get mixed up in this Ty. I never wanted you to know about this…what I am or what I do." His rested his cheek on top of her head, "My Father runs the criminal underground and I work for him. There is this deal that's going through with the Vampires right now and…well…long story short, they're pissed off. Long Feng is known for being a complete asshole and he took his anger out on me for messing up."

"I just want to go home Zuko," Ty Lee said, wiping her tears away.

He sighed sadly, "Ty…I can leave you alone anymore. You've been targeted by the Vampires and no doubt with what I just did pissed them off even more. I need to protect you…especially with the state you'll be in." Zuko took her hand in his, "You're a Vampire now Ty…I know how to protect you from harm."

"But you were the one who got me into this," She looked up to him through tear filled eyes. It pained his heart to hear that coming from her.

"I know…and I'm sorry. You know I would never purposely put you in harm's way Ty, you know I care a lot about you." He said. "I swear, they are close to a cure so you can walk in the sun again without dying. You will be the first person to be cured Ty, you have my word." Zuko kissed her hand, "I don't care if you don't like me anymore…but at least let me make things right." She looked at him through sad eyes before laying her head on his chest and he held her tight as the limo continued down the street.

Katara tied her last shoe as Aang put on his beanie. Gyatso came through the living room buttoning the last button on his dress shirt, "Okay, I'm off to work, have a good day at school. Aang make sure she knows where all the food is and Katara, be sure to make yourself a home while you are here."

"I will Mr. White, thank you for the hospitality," Katara said. He shortly left and Katara went directly to the kitchen, pulling out a blood packet from the fridge. She pulled off the top and took a long drink from the packet. "I'm sorry to say this, but I thought he would never leave." Katara walked out of the kitchen, taking small drinks from the blood, seeing the look on Aang's face. "Still not use to it?"

He shook his head, "I don't think I ever will be."

Toph poked her head out of his room, "Is he gone?" Aang nodded. She breathed a sigh of relief and came out of his room, tying her hair up in a ponytail, "Your Dad is such a hard ass about girls staying the night."

"I heard why last night," Katara said with disgust.

"We didn't have sex for the longest time, the first time was long over-due, the second time I only got to finish, so of course he needed to get his-"

Katara held up her hand, "Please stop…just…stop. I don't need to hear about that. I might have wanted to be more familiar with you guys, but that's a little much. It's hard to imagine that the two biggest 'hero's' in Ember Island are sex addicts."

"Well you got to have sex to understand it," Toph joked, "Trust me, once you find the guy you want to be with, you want to jump his bones every chance you get…but I don't have to tell you that do I?" Katara's face went red while Aang stayed in the dark of what they were talking about.

Katara cleared her throat, "Well, that may be, but it's not like I can have a normal life. Not a lot of guys want to get into bed with a Witch…or even a Vampire."

"Yeah, sex is usually keeping blood in a certain part of the body instead of taking it out," Toph said as she went into the kitchen, grabbing a drink. She came back out, "Are we ready to go or what?" The walk to the school was surprisingly short to Katara, usually it took her 40 minutes, even on the bus.

"Let's go over some ground rules," Aang whispered to Katara as they walked up the stairs. "Don't tell anyone else that you're staying with me, just act like everything is still normal. If you need to contact me, call me."

She rose an eyebrow, "But I don't have your number."

"He put it in your phone when you weren't looking," Toph told her, "He's really sneaky like that. My number is probably in there too."

"You should be safe here," Aang continued, "The blood-I mean, Full Blood Vampires won't be able to step even one foot outside…just watch out for the Demons, they'll be easy to spot."

"Gotcha…you know, I'm really glad you and I could get along Aang," Katara smiled.

Aang softly patted Katara on her shoulder, "We're not there yet…" He took Toph's hand and they walked into the school, knowing all the progress that she thought she made last night went down the tube.

She sighed and went into the school, going to her locker. Katara unlocked it and grabbed her book from the top shelf. "Well if it isn't the only Half Blood in town." She froze, her hand had a death grip the locker door. Slowly moving her locker door out of the way, she saw the scarred Demon boy leaning against the lockers. "If you shout, yell, or even move, I'll make sure your death is slow and painful." She swallowed the lump in her throat as he froze her in fear. "You shouldn't have ran away Half Blood…you've put me in awkward situation."

"You had your people kidnap me to kill me," She said through her teeth.

"I had nothing to do with that, but now, because the Avatar took you…I'm personally involved now. Don't worry, I'm not going to take you in right now, too many witnesses. But I just thought you should know, I'm going to be the one who does it," Zuko told her. "You can't run from your fate Half Blood." He leaned in close, "And when I do you're going to tell me who the Avatar is."

She shut her locker, "I have no idea who he is…but I know he'll kill you before you even touch me."

"Katara," They both turned to see Aang, "You coming to class?"

"Yeah," Katara locked her locker, "Good luck with your plan Zuko, but I believe The Avatar will be more successful with his plan in stopping you." She walked off as Zuko and Aang shared a heated stare. Zuko pushed himself off the lockers and walked down the hall, knowing there was something behind that stare from his old friend.
