Chapter 5

Why had he done such a weak thing? He was Amon! And Amon couldn't afford to show weaknesses. Not when he was so far along with his plan. Now he was feeling so confused... They had only met twice for crying out loud!

Amon tore off his clothing and stepped in to his shower. The hot water helped him to relax a bit. But it didn't help the fact that every time he closed his eyes, that whole scene with Kyo played out before him. And each time something inside of him wished that he could have more. With his face somehow hidden in the steam of the shower, he let out a frustrated growl and punched the wall.

Women were just trouble. They were useless. He didn't need any love in his life. Especially someone like Kyo. She stole, lied, (probably), and that woman was so infuriating and unlikeable. Who in their right mind would kiss that face? No, he hadn't been in his right mind when he did what he did... but anyone who was definitely wouldn't have. Amon was quite happy the way he was and he was just going to keep telling himself that. Eventually it would just sink in and he wouldn't have this little dilemma he was in right now.

The man stepped out of the shower, grabbed a towel off the counter and wrapped it around his waist. Then he walked to his room to get dressed.

Despite that the streets had looked empty and deserted that night, someone had regretfully seen the recent occurrence that had happened between Amon and Kyo.

Bolin had nearly choked on his dumpling at the time. The earth-bender had been walking back to Air Temple Island, when he had heard some sort of commotion. A head of him he saw two people, one was a man wearing a hood over his head, and the other was a woman. As he got closer Bolin came to realise a couple things.

First being that the man and woman were Amon and Korra's sister... Kyo or something like that. He had though she was in trouble with equalists again and when he got even closer he saw that they were... Kissing? Korra's sister was kissing Amon!

Clutching the bag of dumplings tightly he turned and ran in the other direction. He could take a different route back to the temple. He was worried what would happen if they saw him run by. Both already knew who he was, and that he was friends with the Avatar. Anyway, Korra should probably know what her sister was in to. That way she could save her before it was too late.

Once Bolin had told Korra what he saw, she pretty much had the same reaction as him. The Avatar had been eating some sort of noodles at the time and choked on them. "Kyo did what?" She demanded through a mouth full of food.

"She was kissing Amon!" A look of fury flicked through Korra's eyes that scared Bolin momentarily. "But maybe he forced himself on her?" He suggested, trying to make it sound a little less bad then it did. It didn't help much though. The thought of a scum bag like Amon forcing himself on Kyo made Korra even angrier.

Korra banged her fists on the table and stood up. "I'm to find that man whore and get rid of him once and for all!" She shouted, walked over to the door and slamming it shut behind her. Just as she did the door opened again and Mako and Asami walked in while watching their friend storm away.

"Ahh... What just happened?" Bolin's big brother asked, scratching the back of his head. The earth bender quickly let Mako and Asami in on what happened. They both looked surprised.

"Well... I can see why she would be upset..." Asami stated, looking in the direction that Korra had stormed out in.

"Yeah! I would be too!" Mako agreed, with a nod. "If someone came and told me that Bolin was making out with Amon on an empty street, I would kill both of you." Bolin blinked and looked at his big brother with wide eyes.

"Are you implying that I'm gay?" The boy honestly looked like he was about to cry. And knowing Bolin, he probably would.

"No! I was just saying that-"The fire bender was cut off by the sniffling Bolin.

"And that I would be low enough to have a fling with the enemy?" With that he marched out of the room with large tearing eyes. And all Asami could do was stand there and laugh.

Sometime during the night Kyo had managed to fall asleep. She didn't know when though, but it was a peaceful sleep and she had forgotten everything that had happened. But the next morning she was so rudely awakened by a banging on her door. Kyo lifted her head out from underneath her pillow and blankets and glared through her open bedroom door in to her living room. Who dared come this early in the morning...? Kyo quickly glanced at the clock. It was 10:30 AM!

Someone had hell to pay, and that was all there was to it.

The fire bender threw her blankets off of her and stormed to the door, pulling it open roughly. "What the hell do you want?" She practically screamed. It didn't make her feel any better when she realised who it was. Korra. "What the hell? How did you find out where I lived? Is there like some big sign that says, 'All the people at Kyo doesn't want to see come this way, because this is where she lives!' or something?"

Korra just ignored her and barged right in, slamming the door behind her. "You where kissing Amon?"The memory of what happened last night came rushing back to the older of the two sisters. Thanks a shit load, Korra.

Kyo narrowed her eyes at her younger sister. "No. I never! Why would you ever accuse me of something like that you brat?" Lies.

"Bolin saw you two do it, Kyo." The Avatar's voice softened a bit.

The thief rolled her eyes at this. "What the hell, Korra?" She attempted to run her fingers through her horrible bed head, "What I do isn't any of your business." Kyo made an attempt to push her sister towards the door. Naturally, Korra had always been the stronger of the two sisters and stood her ground.

"So you did kiss him then?" Korra glared at her. "Or did he force himself on you at the time? And it's all just a total accident?"

Kyo rolled her eyes again. "Korra, get out of my house and don't ever come here again. Unless you're invited. My problems are my problems. I will solve them myself. You aren't my mother." Roughly she pulled the door opened and motioned for her darling, little sister to leave. "I trust you can find your own way home." Yes that was sort of Amon's line but there was no copyright claim on it, last time she checked. And it worked very well at this moment. As long as Korra didn't try stabbing her in the neck and it ended up being a kissing session. That would be disgusting, and be a whole new meaning to, 'sisterly love'. Kyo, personally, would rather not be the one to create that new definition.

Korra took a step towards the door before turning and looking at Kyo again. "Look, I'm sorry if I acted like I was the boss of you... I'm just worried... Be careful, ok?" The fire bender didn't say anything. "Amon is evil... and if you really where kissing him back, then let me tell you. He was just using you, Kyo!"

Kyo pushed her sister the rest of the way out. "I know what Amon is." And with that she slammed the door on her sister's face. The woman turned and leaned against the door with a sigh, then slowly slid down so that she was sitting on the floor.

Amon had everything planned perfectly. In about a week they were expecting General Iroh and his fire navy fleet to arrive at Republic city. And he had just the greeting for him. Those plans that Kyo had stolen, which he had successfully managed to swipe it back, where blue prints. Blue prints on what Hiroshi called, 'biplanes'. With those prints back, they could finally finish the biplanes off, hopefully by tomorrow. Then would be the fun part. The test drive. They would come in extremely handy.

Amon had just finished checking on how construction was going so far and was now pacing around his living room pointlessly. As he did something caught his eye. That ring. The masked man had to smirk at the memory of when that horrid Kyo girl tried to steal it from him. It really didn't have any sentimental value to him. He had found it on the road one day when he first came to the city. Someone had obviously been unfortunate enough to loose it. He had taken it because it looked too expensive to just leave there. And it may have come in handy someday. Up until she had tried to steal it, Amon had actually forgotten about it. What a stupid woman she was.

Behind his mask, Amon scowled at the ring before flopping down on to his couch and lying there, staring at the ceiling. Yes... A stupid woman. She was trying to toy with him. Amon was sure of it.

That Kyo... She would keep trying to toy with him until she could weaken him. And then who knows what she would do. Maybe she was a bender, and she would catch him unexpectedly and deliver him to the Avatar at his weakest point. That had to be it. Somehow when he pinned her against the wall she had done something to him and that was why he kissed her! Why else would he feel like he was starting to get some sort of romantic feeling for her?

Well, whatever game that Kyo woman was playing... She would lose; Amon would make sure of it.

There was a knock on his door. The man sat up and looked in that direction. "...Come in..."

The door opened and in walked two of his chi blockers and a blind folded Avatar. "Sir... The Avatar... She requested that we bring her to you." One of them spoke. What the hell? Amon motioned to two blockers to leave the room. They did, pulling the door shut behind them.

"Well Avatar... I can't see you surrendering any time soon." He stood up and circled the teenage girl "So what, pray tell, are you here for?"

The Avatar shifted slightly. "I'm here... On behalf of my older sister. And you. You..." The Avatar shuttered for a second. "You kissing my big sister."

The man raised an eyebrow behind his mask. "You're sister?" The Avatar had a sister? Wait. Kyo was the Avatar's sister? He was pretty sure that, that was what she was talking about. Wow. You learned something new every day, didn't you? And with his theory before about Kyo trying to string him in to something... It would all fit together perfectly.

"Kyo." She stated bluntly. Yeah, he guessed right.

"Yes. I kissed her. "The Avatar frowned. "But it meant nothing. It was just for... Entertainment, I suppose you could say. A man needs entertainment in his life."

Korra growled at the masked man. "That's all I needed to know. Now will you be so kind enough to let me go."

Amon gave a slight smirk under his mask. "Just this once." He called in the chi blockers who brought her here and they escorted her out, once again closing the metal door behind them.

Amon suddenly felt a pit in his stomach. One mixed with guilt and something else. He couldn't tell what it was.

He was clear of one thing suddenly, at this moment. If Kyo was trying to string him in to something by using all this romance crap... Then it was definitely starting to work. He was falling for the Avatar's sister. And he had to do something about it fast.

The day went by fast for Kyo. Probably because she spent the entire day sleeping. But tonight she needed 'exercise', if you caught her drift. As she changed in to her typical, black, thieving outfit and pulled her mask over the bottom half of her face she heard her window open, and someone step inside.

The woman turned, and wasn't surprised to see Amon standing there. In the moonlight of her window she saw that his brown eyes where narrowed as she slowly started walking towards Kyo.
