(A/N) I am now adding AtLA

Last time

Toshiro smiled to himself as the door closed. "Our little Kimiko has grown up to be a strong, smart woman, Ayame." He said to the empty room, returning to his paper work.

Now

"How is he?" Toph asked. They had landed in a forest clearing to camp for the night, after putting a day between them and the now Fire Nation controlled Ba-Sing-Se. The rest of the group was asleep; Aang was propped up against a tree, Katara hovering over him, her hair still loose. If Toph could see, she'd have flinched under the glare Katara sent her.

After a moment Katara sighed, remembering that Toph couldn't see Aang's condition. "Not well. He is alive...if only barely. He needs a more knowledgeable healer then me. I can only keep him alive, and no more, I don't know when he'll come out of his coma either..."

"Am I wrong when I say will power has something to do with waking up from comas?" Katara shook her head. "Then why worry? He has will power in spades; he'll be up in no time." Toph said, sounding confident in her Earth-Bending student.

Katara gave a tired smiled to the blind girl. "Thank you, Toph, I needed that."

"I know, now, go get some sleep, I've got watch." Nodding, Katara laid against the same tree as Aang, and fell almost instantly to sleep. Toph frowned at Aang when she was sure Katara was asleep. "Hurry up, Twinkle Toes; you're worrying the women that love you… both of us…" The blind girl had long since given up on trying to hide her feelings, from herself anyway, by trying to show 'affection' for Sokka.

Toph was broken out of her thoughts by Aang groaning in his sleep. "Katara… Toph… no… I l-l-love you both" At that, Toph's heart beat quickened. "… don't die… Zuko!" After that last name, though she couldn't see it, Aang's tattoos began to glow. The noise of the elements going crazy woke the others.

"What happened, Toph?!" Sokka yelled over the wind.

Quickly deciding to censor out Aang's love confessions, Toph yelled back. "I have no idea! He muttered something about Zuko in his sleep, next thing I know his Avatar Spirit's active!"

Katara, who had been blown away from Aang when the Avatar Spirit went active, shakily got to her feet, and began to trek towards the young Avatar, until a hand grabbed her arm. "Let go of me, Sokka." She seethed, not even looking back.

"First off, I'm not Sokka or a guy at all." Toph's sarcastic voice laughed. "And I aint stoppin ya, I wanna help ya. But, he's in the air, so I can't see him; I need you to guide me."

Looking back, Katara smiled at the smirking Toph. "Thanks, I could use the help, those guys are useless."

"Good, cuz ya got it want it, or not.

"Let me do it." Everyone turned to the clearings tree line where the abrupt voice had came from. Stepping into to the light of Aang's glow was a tall silver haired man. The man stood around 6' 6'', had lithe muscle, sleepy silver eyes, short wild silver hair cut off at the of the neck, and wore tan trousers and a loose black sleeveless shirt.

"Who the Hell are you, and what do you think you could do?!" Sokka yelled.

He grinned. "I'm Gin. As for what I could do, watch."' Gin took a deep breath, and yelled. "Aang! Cease this immediately! Your worrying Katara and Toph!" As soon as the names left the man's lips, Aang began to calm down. Katara caught him as he fell down.

"I'm sorry, Katara, Toph, I couldn't let you go, I couldn't master the Avatar State..."Katara sent Toph a look saying 'we need to talk', so Toph would get the message, Katara softly tapped the ground, allowing Toph to sense the message in the vibrations. Toph looked in Katara's direction, nodding to show she got the message. Meanwhile, Sokka and the Earth King approached the silver haired man.

"Who are you?" Sokka asked, the Earth King silently standing to the side deciding to let Sokka do the talking.

The man shrugged. "Like I said call me Gin, or 'Gingetsu' if you want to be formal. I'll explain more tomorrow, Aang should be up by then."

"You'll understand if I ask for any weapons you have on you."

Gin shrugged again. "I would, but the only weapons I have on me are my bending, martial arts, and these." As he spoke, he showed an example of what he meant. First he bent a boulder from the earth a foot from him, when the boulder was at head height; he shattered it with a high sidekick. Walking over to tree, Gin made a show of sinking his nails; painted a reflective black, into the tree with no visible effort. "If it makes you feel better, I'll sleep in a different spot." He suggested, pulling his nails, no claws, from the tree.

Sokka shook his head. "Nah, you can stay here. Any objections, Earth King?"

The King shook his. "None. And please call me Tsuchi, I can't much be called 'king' under these circumstances, though I'm beginning doubt I ever should have been called that..." Sokka nodded.

"Don't blame yourself. What about you girls?" Sokka called to the two girls hovering over Aang.

Toph answered, Katara was busy making sure Aang hadn't worsened his condition, feeling Katara's answer with her 'sight'. "Nope."

"Thanks. I really didn't want to walk around any more, to lazy." Gin sat against a tree. "Night all." With that, a light snoring filled the clearing.

"G'night girls, Tsuchi, animals." Sokka said, getting back into his sleeping bag, Tsuchi following suit.

After a few minuets of silence Katara and Toph spoke in tandem. "We need to talk." A more awkward silence preceded their tandem statement. After another minuet of silence, Toph broke it. "Wanna play questions?"

Katara smiled at the solution to how they were going to have such a conversation, and nodded. Toph continued. "You first."

"What are your feelings towards Aang?" Katara blurted out before she could stop herself.

The blind girl sighed. "I honestly don't know. I know he was my first real friend; I worry for him and I feel...comfortable around him. I also can some how, always, feel his presence. Which has happened with only one other person, and I don't get that either...What are your feelings for him?"

Blushing, Katara answered as fully as she could. "I'm not positive either. He was the first male friend I've had that's my age; Sokka doesn't count. Same as you, I feel the same as you, comfortable, around him. I too have a weird ability to sense him, again like you, I also feel this for another person. What's this 'feeling' like?"

"I don't just sense his vibrations; I can fell him and his..."

"Emotions?" Katara finished. "The same for me."

"...Who's the other person this happens with?" Toph asked.

The dark skinned girls blush deepened. "You, though it's no where as strong as the one with Aang. What abou-"

"You." Toph answered before Katara could even finish the question.

There was silence for a bit until Toph, in the most...timid voice Katara had ever heard her friend use, asked. "Katara?"

"Yeah?"

"Can I ask you something?"

Katara giggled, still a bit surprised at the other girls uncharacteristic timidity. "Of course, we are playing questions after all."

"…Could you describe Aang and yourself to me? And I mean your physical appearance." Katara immediately understood the question; Toph's 'sight' gave a rough picture of a person's appearance.

"Sure, Aang's…" For the next 10 minuets, Katara described Aang's physical appearance to Toph. When she finished, Toph gave a frustrated sigh. "What's wrong?"

"I asked for a description of both of you, not just Aang, Katara."

Katara blushed; they both seemed to be doing that a lot during this talk. "Humm… I don't think I can do that with out sounding mocking to you, or make it believable..."

"I have an idea…" Toph said, blushing a shade of red Katara didn't think healthy.

"Oh?"

"As you speak, I can trace you with my hands…" Hearing the idea, Katara could feel what was left of the blood in her body rush to her cheeks.

Katara thought on it, before nodding. "That's fine, Toph." Toph's eyes widened, surprised at Katara's acceptance of the idea. Ten minuets later, and even more blushing, Toph had one more thing to add.

"I didn't tell you everything that I heard Aang say before the Avatar Spirit went active."

"What else did he say?"

"Katara… Toph… no… I……. love you both…" Toph repeated the words that had made her heart beat so fast, finding that, even the memory, caused the same reaction. Her 'sight' told her Katara had the same reaction.

For some time there was silence, both women mulled over the implications of Aang's words. Finally, Toph broke the silence. "I believe I can bring myself to share him, if it's you I have to share him with."

Katara smiled. "I'm willing to try this if you are. Now, on a far less serious note," The smile shifted into a smirk. "how does it feel to be the first Steel bender in this century?"

Toph smirked. "Damn good."

"You can bend steel?" Gins voice spoke. Swirling to look at the silver haired man, the only sign they could tell he was a wake was the halting of his light snores and the fact he had spoke.

"You were eavesdropping?" Katara asked.

You could hear the smirk in his voice. "Kinda hard not to. Though it got a bit boring with the descriptions, though they were important weren't they?" Here the smirk in his voice faded, replaced by a semi-serious tone. "I thank you for attempting such a relationship. If there's one thing I've seen in my travels, it's the mutual liking of a person tearing the best of friends apart. Just remember Aang'll never be able to show both of you the same affection at once; there will be times where he compliments one more then the other, don't let your individual pride tear you three apart." Having said what he wanted to Gin went back to sleep, his light snores once more filling the clearing.

"Katara?"

"Yeah?"

Toph stretched out her hand. "Friends no matter how this ends?" Katara smiled, nodding.

"Yeah, friends forever." Shaking hands, the two girls leaned against the same tree as Aang, Toph bending a much larger then normal earth tent that enclosed all three.

With those three inside the tent, and the others long since asleep, no one noticed Gin lift his head to face the full moon hanging in the sky. "Soon my friends I shall have your deaths avenged, Zela will soon be dead. Good moon, my friends."

Sokka was first to wake as the sun hit his eyes. Stretching, he pulled himself out of his sleeping bag with a yawn. Scratching his ass he walked over to the stream by the campsite, and splashed some water in his face to help wake himself up. Still bleary eyed, he went through his mental check list.

"Hmm, Appa-check, Momo-most likely off foraging, Tsuchi-check, supplies-check, Toph…" Here Sokka noticed the extra large earth tent. "I guess the Benders slept in one tent… If I didn't know better, I'd call Aang a very lucky man…" Sokka chuckled here. "Right before I pound him into the ground for touching Katara. Hmm, where's that weird guy?" Sokka asked himself, not seeing Gin anywhere. Sokka's paranoia kicking in, he walked over to the tent.

Right before he knocked on the 'door', Toph slid it open. "What do ya want, Sokka?"

"Are Aang and Katara in there?"

Lightly tapping the ground Toph gained an alarmed look, which immediately got Sokka worried; Toph didn't get worried easily. "What's wrong?"

Toph ignored him in favor of giving the ground a more solid hit. "I can't sense Aang, or that Gin guy from last night."

"How far off did you send the vibrations?"

"As far as I could."

Sokka winced, he didn't know the max distance of her 'sight', but it was further then he could see. "Wake Katara up, we'll go look for him. Even if that Gin guy did take him; if he wants Aang alive he can't of gained that much ground." Nodding Toph collapsed the tent, and walked over to where Katara was sleeping.

Quickly explaining the situation to Katara, the two girls nodded; having the same idea. Sokka raised an eyebrow, he understood why Toph had closed her eyes with a look of concentration on her face, but why had Katara done the same? After a moments silence, they opened their eyes, and pointed in the same direction. "He's that way." They spoke together. Grinning at, or towards, each other, they took off at a run along the riverside upstream.

Though curious as to what the Hell just happened, Sokka fallowed with out questioning it; there'd be time for that later. After a few minutes of running, they found Momo, foraging for fruits as Sokka had predicted. "Hey Momo, have you seen Aang around?" Katara cooed as they slowed down.

Momo cocked his head to one side. Gliding over to them, the Flying Lemur landed on Toph's shoulder tugged on her hair a little, and took off the way they had been going. Nodding to each other, they took off after the fruit eater. Ten minutes later they arrived at a clearing, what they saw shocked them.

After all, who wouldn't be surprised to see a man who just yesterday was in a coma fighting at his best? Not to mention the opponet was the silver haird man from yesterday, flying over head with, silver tipped, black angel wings?

(A/N)Yo! Well here's the 3rd chap.R&R please.

Laters.
