I do not own Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Chapter 5: Search

When I woke up in the morning I felt a surge of guilt flow through me. Why did I yell at Aang like that? I should probably apologize, although I still want to figure out what's going on. I decided to follow Aang to wherever he was going.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Aang told us he was going to see the members of white lotus so he could tell them about his culture. I didn't believe him so I walked out the door and followed. He stopped at a house with no windows and a blue door. He walked in, and I didn't know how I was going to go in undiscovered. I sat outside for about five minutes thinking.

"This is useless..." I said with a sigh.

Then, an idea hit me. What if I barge in? He won't expect it, and if he is kissing someone else, I'll catch him! So I walked to the door, took a deep breath, and slammed it open. I could not believe what I saw. It was fifteen naked girls and one was touching Aang.

"Oh...MY..." I was beginning to yell when I saw Aang's eyes on me.

"Katara! This...this isn't what it looks like!"

I put my hands on my hips. "Sure it isn't!" My face started to fill with red hot tears.

"Katara can I please just talk to you for a minute!"

"No!" I said as I slammed the door behind me.

(Later that day)

I ran home sobbing harder than I ever had. He's taken this too far. I hopped on my bed and dug my face in my pillow screaming. I was interrupted by a knock on my door.

"Whoever it is...GO AWAY."

The person behind the door walked in and sat down on my bed. I lifted my head to find it was Aang, and I slapped him across the face.

"Ow. Katara! I just wanted to tell you what was going on!"

"Fine, but you better be snappy because I don't have all day."

For the next five minutes he explained to me that he needed to do it for the sake of his people and that it was a lower chance of me having an Airbender baby than them. This made me feel a little better, but I was still mad.

"Well, can't they at least call off the program until you're older?"

"Yes, that's why I'm here. I just went to talk to Iroh and he said they would call it off until I was sixteen." He shifted and turned red. "Maybe...during that time...we could...try to.." he hesitated, then said it. "Try to have an airbender of our own."

I blinked three times making sure I heard what I thought I heard.

"Aang...I don't know...we're a little young..."

"I-I...know but...If you have an Airbender I won't have to do this program then."

"Okay...but not right now. I need some time to soak this in."

"It's fine...I think I do too. Maybe in a couple months." He coughed then his ears turned red.

"I felt myself blush at the thought and I kissed him on the cheek then moved to his lips. He kissed me back and I took his shirt off. I moved my lips to his neck and kissed it lightly. He let out a small groan and it made me giggle. I picked my head up and looked into his eyes and knew, then and there, that he was the one I wanted to be with forever.
