The biggest question you've all been asking is 'when am I going to update (enter story here)?'. Don't worry, I'll update soon, I'm just going to keep updating this story. It's almost over though, a couple more chapters. Read on:

Toph desperately wanted to pull the hair clips from her hair, the hair style her Mother had chosen for her made her look like a 12 year old again. She swirled the cup of what her parents had assumed was juice, but secretly snuck some wine. The dinner party was as boring as stake outs with Aang, though the one time when they finally did it was the best time she had ever had on a stake out. Feeling the effects of the wine, Toph swung her legs to the side and back in front of her as if drunkenly walking a tight rope as she walked on the line of yellow tile out of the main room and out to the hall way. She spun a 90 degree turn with the tiles, her drink sloshing in her cup. Her phone started to vibrate, making her giggle and pulled it out before between her breasts. She flipped out the phone, "You made my boobs tickle," She laughed.

"Toph? What's wrong with you?" Aang said on the other line, "Please don't tell me your drunk or something."

Toph smiled, "I'm not drunk…I'm just buzzed." She sipped her wine, "What are you up to lover?"

"Let me in," Toph spun around quickly, almost spilling her drink to see Aang in window, his mask around his neck. She snapped her phone shut and she quickly hobbled over to the window, her heels clicking loudly against the ground and opened the window. He jumped down and shut it behind him, Aang turned around to see Toph pushing her phone back between her bosom, a laugh escaping her. "You clearly need to stop drinking." He tried to take the cup from her hand, but she pulled it away, this time some wine finally escaped her cup.

"Get your own," She whined. "What are you doing here in that? Shouldn't you be watching the Half Blood?"

"You mean Katara?" Aang corrected her, "She's perfectly fine being along right now. When are you going to be done here, I could use some back up. I'm going to search for some tips of where Long Feng is."

She sipped her wine, twirling back and forth and watching her dress follow, "Why haven't we made love lately?"

"Toph, get ahold of yourself," Aang told her, "We're in business mode here."

"Business Mode," She snickered, "We should be in 'Getting busy' mode." Toph leaned in, "You should take me in the bathroom, I can just imagine the look on my Mom's face when she sees me getting railed in the bathroom by the Avatar."

Aang finally put his hand over her mouth, "Jeez Toph, you're a horrible and incredibly light weight drunk. You need to go home."

The orchestra in the next room started to play again and a happy smile appeared on her face, "Dance with me!" She set down her cup on the nearest table and she took his left hand and put his other hand on her waist. "Come on, dance with your drunk girlfriend." Toph demanded, her head resting on his leather jacket. Aang rolled his eyes and slowly danced with Toph, he could hear her humming the tune, she obviously had heard this song many times. "I wish we could stay in this moment forever," Toph mumbled, "and by that, I mean me being drunk and you holding me." Aang kissed the top of her head as she laughed at her own joke, "You know it was funny."

"You're not as funny as you think you are," Aang whispered. "I need to go soon so that I don't get caught. I don't need anyone else knowing who I am."

"Why are you always so serious? It's always business with you," Toph grumbled.

His thumb made small circles on her back, "Because one of us has to. You knew what you were getting into. When I put on his jacket and mask, I'm serious. I'm that way so that no harm comes to me, you and innocent people. Just look at my record, I've done my job very well." He kissed her soft lips, she stood on her toes to kiss him back. "No more alcohol for you tonight okay? I'll see you tomorrow." Aang gave her a last kiss and left out the window.

Toph sighed and looked at the cup of wine, "I'm sorry, I've got to listen to the boyfriend, we could use a little separation." She turned to see two guards behind her and a small stepped between them, who she quickly recognized.

"It's nice to see you at my party…Blind…Bandit," He smiled.

"Long Feng…"

Aang climbed through the window to hear a commotion in the kitchen, he shut it behind him and lowered his mask. He went through his room to the hallway that led to the kitchen, Katara was hurriedly going through the fridge. "Katara, what's wrong with you?" She ignored him as she tossed out a shelf along with the food along with it as she continued looking. "Hey! What the hell are you doing?!" Aang pulled her away from the fridge as she clawed at him for a second before he realized what has happening. This was the exact reason when he met her that she was placed in a cell, she hadn't had blood.

"I'm completely out!" She pulled at her hair as she quickly paced back in forth, "I thought I had enough, but we're out. I've been here too long and I didn't bring enough." Katara ran her hands down her face as she took a breath before her eyes opened to look at him, he knew that look. Her nose raised a little as she took a few breathes with her mouth starting to fill with venom, "You smell so good tonight," Aang got prepared as she took a couple steps towards him, "Your scent mixed with sweat…it's flooding my senses." Before he could defend himself, Katara waved her hand and sent him into the counter, he collapsed onto the ground. Another wave raised his hands up against the counter and held them by invisible restraints and did the same to his legs onto the tiled floor. He would be impressed with her powers if his life was about to be threatened. She swayed her hips as sexy as she could as she walked over to him and mounted him. Katara pulled his hood back and removed his mask, tossing it across the floor. Katara let her lips barely graze his skin as she inhaled his scent, "I've never smelt anything more delicious than you Aang." He cringed when her tongue made a trail from his throat to the side of his neck, she approved with a higher pitched moan, "Even your skin tastes delicious."

"Katara, you need to stop this," Aang told her, "You can't change me, if you do, then I can't help you Katara. If you do this, Toph will drive a stake through your heart."

Katara just snickered, "It will be worth it. But don't worry, I'm not just going to drink from you…I'm going to do something I've wanted to do for the longest time." His brow furrowed when she started to kiss his neck.

"What are you doing?" He tried to pull away, but it proved to be pointless. She didn't answer as her kisses went up past his chin, finally planting a full kiss on his lips. Aang forced her face away with his, "Stop Katara."

"Just because I'm a Vampire, doesn't mean I don't have needs," The look in Katara's eyes told it all, she wasn't in the right state of mind, but she definitely meant these words. "It's so hard to get you out of my mind, there is nothing more I want than you, not only as a life source…but also a lover." He groaned when she bucked her hips against his, her panties underneath the giant shirt she wore were against his increasingly hard arousal. "You want me as much as I want you." Aang saw his escape from this increasingly horrible outcome as her hands traveled down to his pants and undid them. Her hand quickly snaked into his pants and grabbed him, he squeezed his eyes shut and threw his head back, trying not to lose himself. "It's just as I imagined it."

"Katara…" He struggled to speak and pulled him out, his 'problem' would have to wait. "Katara, let me at least get the condom I have in my pocket. You wouldn't want to get pregnant. Just let go of my hands and I'll put it on, I'll even stop fighting you, just let me get it please."

She smirked, "I'm not stupid, I'll get it." Katara reached for his front left pocket.

"Wait!" She quickly pulled her hand away, "That's the wrong pocket, you definitely don't want to put your hand in there." Katara reached for the other, "Not that one."

Katara growled, "Fine." She waved her hand, letting his hands go, but put her hands on his wrists for a second, "Don't try anything funny now," She said with a lust filled smile.

"How am I going to get away without my feet?" Aang replied with a smile also. His right hand reached into his jacket pocket and quickly pulled out his Thunder Fist and drove it into her stomach, knocking her off of him and her head hit against the fridge door, successfully knocking her out. He felt the invisible restraints disappear and stood up, Aang put his raging need back into his jeans with a grunt from the uncomfortable spot it was put in and zipped up his pants. "I need to really thank Teo for this." He set everything back in the fridge and shut it, looking down to Katara, wondering how long he had. His Dad wouldn't come back any time soon while he was on his business trip. Aang decided the safest bet was to stop by Katara's house and get some blood to not repeat this situation. "Stay here," Aang pointed towards Katara's unconscious body before leaving out his window.

Katara groaned as she drifted into consciousness, the smell of blood was in the air. She tried to move, but she felt ropes around her wrists. Her eyes shot open and she saw that she was back in her room. Katara tried pulling at the ropes, but finding no way out, the memories of last night flooded her mind. "Here," She turned to her left to see a blood packet in Aang's hands, he brought the end to Katara's lips and she greedily drank, enjoying every drop, even if it was cold. Before she could ask for another once the bag was done, Aang had another waiting for her, which she also quickly finished. Katara let out a satisfied sigh as Aang threw the empty packets into the garbage. "How are you feeling?" Aang asked.

"I'm feeling like a complete idiot," Katara said, referring to the night before.

He shook his head, "No, I mean physically." Aang pulled back the covers and Katara saw the scorch marks in her shirt. "Apparently the Thunder Fist has a lot more kick than I thought it would, it burned a hole through the shirt." Katara looked down to see the hole and the irritated skin that showed through it. "The only other person that I tried this on was Zuko, though I let him get a lot farther with me than you did." Katara laughed at the joke, enjoying the fact that Aang tried to diffuse the awkwardness that was bound to come between them. "I put some numbing ointment on it so you shouldn't feel it for a while." Aang untied her, if her arms could talk, they would have thanked him. She rubbed her sore arms as he sat forward in the chair, "All joking aside, I think you and I need to talk."

"I'll go first," Katara told him, "I'm really sorry about last night, I'll make sure to keep track on how much packets I have and warn you before then. That shouldn't have happened and I'm very embarrassed that it did...thank you for not letting me get too far."

Aang had a serious look on his face, "Katara…that's not what I'm talking about." Katara was hoping that he wouldn't bring this up, thinking that the joke would be the most they would go into this subject.

"I don't know what came over me…"

"I agree…but I know it wasn't false. Katara, you have romantic feelings towards me don't you?" The silence in the room that they were dropped onto both of them could be cut with a knife. She couldn't look at him as she bit her lip, she had wished they could forget about everything last night, just wipe the slate clean. Even if she wanted to confess her feelings, Aang had Toph and obviously loved Toph, he wouldn't want to be with her. Being a Vampire didn't help her case either, neither did trying to suck his blood or rape him last night. If Aang did want to be with her, she would feel terrible about Toph, they had gained a good friendship with her and hurting her friend is something she never wanted to do.

Katara could only do what was possible to keep what was between them, no lying, no bullshit. "Yes…" If she thought the first silence was bad, this was even worse. She had always heard stories of failed experiences of telling the person you care about your feelings, but this was her first time experiencing it. Katara just wanted to curl up under the covers and stay there until the end of time. His stare on her didn't help, she wished he just shut her down already so she didn't have to feel this anymore. "I'm sorry…" She whispered.

"You have nothing to be sorry about Katara," Aang finally said, "You can't choose who you have feelings for…" He paused for a couple moments, "As far as Toph is concerned, nothing happened last night. You didn't try to drink for me nor did you try to have sex with me…and she won't know what we talked about here."

She squeezed her eyes shut, holding back her emotions, "Toph knows…about my feelings."

"When did you tell her?"

"I didn't tell her…but it was after you fought Long Feng," Katara said, "I told her that it wouldn't matter if I liked you or not, but I could tell that she didn't believe me."

Aang nodded silently before standing, "You should get ready to go to school, we're leaving in 20 minutes." He left the room in silence as Katara rubbed her eyes, hoping this day would go by fast.

Zuko bit off a piece of his toast as he flipped through his phone, his email completely filled with cryptic messages sent from the Vampire Clans, he continued to delete every single one. His eyes temporarily left to screen to see his sister enter the room with Ty Lee behind her. Just like it had been every other day, the room didn't allow one ounce of sun light to fill the room, so Ty Lee was perfectly safe. Though he wasn't able to figure it out, there was something very off about his sister today. The way she looked, the way she walked, the way that Ty Lee happily walked behind her. Zuko exited his emails and put it back into his pocket as Azula stopped beside him, "Zuko, I've come to apologize for my actions yesterday." The way her voice sounded was off also, almost like… "I've only wanted to be close to you and I have been shown that what I do only pushes you away. That is the reason why I attacked Ty Lee yesterday, I was jealous that you showed her more concern than me." Zuko put his toast back on his plate before standing up and looking into his sister's eyes.

"Ty…did you drink from my sister last night?" Zuko finally asked, looking past his sister.

She awkwardly laughed, rubbing the back of her neck, "….Maybe?" Zuko pinched the bridge of his nose, "Hey, I'm sorry! She smelt like you, but with a slight hint of cinnamon. I just told her that she should tell you how she really feels about you."

He lifted his sister's eye lid to get a better look at her eye, "Well, you seduced her."

"I seduced her?" Ty Lee asked with a giggle.

"It's a power you have as a Vampire," Zuko told her, "You sucked her blood, giving you a momentary burst of power, whether it is strength, speed or hypnotic power. You gave her a command and she was hypnotized into doing it." He snapped his fingers in front of Azula's face, she didn't budge an inch. "Yep, she's pretty out of it, how much blood did you take?"

"Enough…"

"Enough isn't a measurement Ty." She looked down at the floor, her hands behind her back and the end of her foot tapping against the floor, "I'm not mad you, I just need to know."

"At least two mouthfuls…" She answered.

Zuko let out a relaxed sigh, "Okay, good. If it were anymore, she would be completely under your control…while the thought of that sounds great, my Father wouldn't be very happy about it. It's going to take her awhile to regain her functions. Tell her to go get you some blood."

She gave him a nod, "Azula, go get me some blood." Azula spun on her heel and walked towards the kitchen, "This is going to be fun!"

"Yeah, but she's going to be pissed when she regains control of herself," Zuko said, sitting back down in his seat. Ty Lee sat down in his lap, her left arm around his neck and her legs hanging off his left leg.

"You know she meant what she said right?" Zuko nodded as he finished his toast, "She just wants you to show her love…I kind of provoked her into attacking me. I told her that you cared more about what happened to me than when she was taken into your 'family business'."

"Well it's true," Zuko commented, "But I don't think that's the best thing to say to someone that has power over you."

Ty Lee nodded, "I know…but will you at least try to have a good relationship with Azula? She's really heartbroken over it. Because of your Father," She lowered her voice, knowing his Father could walk in at any second, "She can't express her love like you…she truly loves you Zuko, just like…uh…" Zuko's eyes widened, he knew exactly what words Ty Lee was about to speak, 3 little words that neither of them had spoken yet. Though those feelings had been obvious between them, neither of them had said it. She continued to stumble with her words until he kissed her, taking her by surprise, but kissed him back.

He broke the kiss, "I love you too."

"How about since you have a while until school starts, we-" Ty Lee whispered the rest into his ear and a smile came across his face.

"Sounds good to me, but have your breakfast first," Azula came back into the room with a blood packet. Ty Lee thanked her and quickly finished the bag with a satisfied smack of her lips.

Ty Lee smiled, "Thank you Azula, make Zuko a good lunch for school and have it done in…10 minutes?"

"20."

A blush hit her face, "Correction, 20 minutes." Azula turned around again and went back into the kitchen as Zuko pulled her towards his room, her giggles filling the hallway.

Katara found herself lost as she looked out the window at the blue sky with the periodic cloud that passed by, ignoring the gossiping and boring stories being told around her. If she could add to the list of things she hated about this school, she would add the conversations that happened during lunch. But the conversations weren't her concern at the moment, she continued to think about Aang. Though it was mostly embarrassment from the situation earlier that morning, her mind continued to point out the fact that Aang didn't turn her down. She wished that she could put all her hopes on that fact, but all other facts that were against her were too overwhelming. "Katara," She turned to look at Suki and Yue, "What's wrong? You barely even touched your food."

"She doesn't even eat," Suki quipped with a laugh, "Food doesn't have any effect on her."

"I know that," Yue rolled her eyes, "But there is still something on her mind."

"I'm fine," Katara put their minds at ease, "I'm just thinking about when I can finally come back home."

Yue rolled her food around before speaking up again, "Do you want to have a sleep over when you get back? We could make it a whole event thing, go see a movie, get some food and spend the night at my house."

Katara gave her a smile, "Sounds like a plan. How about you Suki?"

She gave Yue a glace who returned it, "Um, it matters when you're going to be free, you know how my schedule is. But if I can't make it, I hope you two have a lot of fun."

"Of course we will," The Half Blood said, she briefly looked past Suki to see Aang, clearly stressed out as he talked on his phone. "I'll be right back." She got up from the table, leaving the two girls.

"You know, you don't have to make it so obvious," Suki told her friend as she popped a fry into her mouth. "Though Katara still has no idea, so maybe you'll just need to write it on a billboard."

Yue sighed, "You have no idea how hard this is, it's not like it's as easy as telling a boy that you like him. It's usually a 50-50 thing when confessing your feelings, either she does or she doesn't, but since I'm a girl, it's more of a 25-75 thing. I can either be told that she doesn't like me that way or worse, she will never think of me in that way…at all."

"It won't be the end of the world, there will be many more…lesbian fish in the sea," Suki couldn't help but crack a smile. She shot her a glare, "I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself."

Katara approached Aang slowly, hoping everything was still okay between them. "You need to find her," He said to whoever was on the other side of the phone, "She's not picking up, after last night, I don't think she's just sick." She slowly sat down beside him as he ran his hand over his face, "Once you track her phone, call me immediately, you got it? Good." Aang closed his phone and let out a huff of anger.

"What's going on?" Katara asked, Aang turned towards her as soon as she spoke up.

"It's Toph…she's missing."

Long Feng confidently strolled through the metal hall, every step he took rang off the walls. His brow furrowed as he heard laughing down the hall. Increasing his pace, he made it to the room and pulled the door open, "Then I said, don't take my money, take my boyfriend!" The guards around the hung up Earthborn burst out in laughter. Long Feng cleared his throat, cutting of the guard's laughter as they turned around to him. "Ah, party killer is here," Toph joked. "Did you bring the lobster I asked for? Room Service is just so hard to get here apparently. The company is nice here though."

"Out," Long Feng spoke to the men, all of them quickly leaving. He stepped into the room, shutting the door behind them. "You are a strange specimen. I've tortured a lot of Earthborns like you, but none of them as strong as you are."

Toph shrugged, "I'm okay at this, all you really have to do is just be able to hold your hand over a fire without pulling it out for about 4 minutes, once you get there, torture is a cake walk."

He narrowed his eyes, "You just love spewing whatever you can out of that mouth don't you?"

"My mouth is only good for about 3 things, spewing out whatever I want, eating and I think the last one is out of the question right now, not a really good mood this room is giving off," Toph said. "Though, you could lighten it up with some candles and I might think it over."

"Enough!" Long Feng stopper her rant. "Are you ready or not to give us the answers we want?"

"I've been here for about, 5 hours or so? So uh, no," Toph shook her head. He walked closer to her and she brought her foot up to kick him between the legs but a chain held her foot inches away from her target. She saw him jump a little making her laugh, "Ah, I got you good!" Long Feng rose his hand to slap her and she presented her cheek, "Go ahead, slap me, I dare you."

Long Feng pushed her head to her shoulder, leaving her neck vulnerable, "I could end you right now Earthborn."

"Then you won't get your answer," Toph said in a playful tone. He let go of her and listened to her laughs as they rang off the walls, "I'm untouchable!"

"I could change you, then how would your precious Avatar feel about you then? Would he even want to touch you?" Long Feng smirked.

Toph nodded, "Yeah, pretty much. Do you know how much more powerful you would make me? I would be unstoppable. If someone got their hands on a cure, I would be able to obtain it and your door would be the first I'm going to be knocking on…well, if you survive tonight."

"What do you mean 'if I survive tonight'?" He said in a whiny tone, pretending to be her.

"You should have searched me when you took me last night…" Toph laughed, she pulled herself up by her chains and let herself fall, the action caused the phone that was hiding between her breasts to fall down her dress and she caught it between her knees. "Long Feng…you don't have to worry about me telling where the Avatar is…the Avatar is coming to you."
