A/N: A collection of stories focusing on how others feel about Aang and Katara.

Disclaimer: I do not own Avatar: The Last Airbender or any of the characters in this story.

I knew the Avatar had a crush on that Water Tribe girl he traveled with since when I first hunted them. The only thought that crossed my mind then was 'I can use this to my advantage.'

But, that wasn't easy.

She was a fighter, so capturing her was more work than trying to capture him. So, I used his strong feelings against him as a last resort.

I also knew that she was his protector. Not that he really needed it as he developed his incredible power because I saw what he can do (and it wasn't pretty). He could handle himself. When his eyes started glowing, I became frightened. Anyone would become frightened. But when she protected him, it seemed like she was doing because she needed to. I knew the Avatar was the last hope for the world, but it was as if she didn't really care about that or anything else when he was in danger. As if she would loose a part of herself if he was hurt.

I began to think that she really did care about him in the same way he cared about her. The Avatar was obvious with his affection, but she needed a bit of deeper studying. The Water Tribe girl was in love, and it was strong love. Though, I'm sure she was still in denial about it then.

When I tried to become a part of their group, she was the one who kept me at a distance. Long after everyone else had forgiven me, she was the one to threaten me. I know a piece of her had been still furious at me for what happened under Ba Sing Se, but I didn't know I had cut her heart so deeply.

Aang died and it was my fault. Katara had no intention of letting me forget that.

My conscious haunted me about that horrible mistake, but I had already come to terms with it. My choice helped me grow into the person I am. But she haunted me more.

Even though the rest were close to Aang, they were able to forgive me. What happened hit her and it hit her hard. Only true love could do that to a person.

A bond that close was unbreakable.

Katara hated me for almost taking away the one person that could make her complete.
