Chapter 6

As Amon kept stepping closer to Kyo, she was almost tempted to grab her Sais, just in case. "There is such a thing as knocking you know..." Amon seemed to ignore that. Like he usually did. The man grabbed her wrist tightly with one hand, so that she wouldn't try anything.

"What kind of game are you playing at?" He snarled, unintentionally yanking the small woman a bit closer. All Kyo did was blink up at his mask with an emotionless expression.

"Checkers, what else?" She responded sarcastically. Amon growled and continued to scowl down at her.

"Don't play stupid with me, Kyo." He was answered with another blank stare. "Do you really think that I am stupid enough to fall for such a small and amateur trap like this one?" Kyo rolled her eyes and gave a small tug, testing to see if he would let go of her wrist. But Amon only tightened his grip, slightly.

"What are you talking about?" The thief was beginning to feel annoyed. She had only woken up about three hours ago. Her mind was still somewhat foggy. "Quit being an idiot and let go of me." Kyo gave another tug, but the masked man still held it firmly.

"Everything!" Amon shouted. "You think that you can come in here and make me fall for you? And then wait until I am weakest and what? Hand me over to the Avatar? You're her sister, after all."

"Come in here? Last time I checked, you are the one who keeps coming in to my home." Not only was she annoyed, now Kyo was getting confused. Amon was the bad guy... maybe he was on drugs! The bad guys where always on drugs! Weren't they? Kyo wanted to ask about how he knew that she was Korra's sister. But something at the back of her mind told her she already knew. And that she needed to go have a conversation with her, stupid, stupid, stupid sister. It was bad enough that the very man in front of her was after benders. But Amon knowing that she was the Avatar's big sister couldn't be good at all.

"I'm not talking about your home, Kyo. I'm talking about my heart! Maybe even my soul!" Amon mentally slapped himself. That had sounded super sappy. "I'll give you some credit. You plan almost worked."

Heart? Soul? Plan? What the hell? This man... must very well be on drugs. That was what Kyo had decided. "Oh. Are you talking about that kiss? The kiss that you started?"

Amon glared at her. "Yes. I am talking about the kiss." He spat the last word out like it was poisoned, in a voice full of disgust. "I'm also talking about..." under his mask he furrowed his eyebrows. "I'm talking about..." Why was it so hard for him to say what he fricken needed to say?

"About what?" Kyo demanded, growing impatient and the man.

"About the horrid feelings I get every time I am reminded of you. Feelings that make me want to always be there for you, no matter what... In a romantic way... And I hate it!" Was it just him, or was it getting extremely hard to breath in here?

Kyo pulled her mask off and let it hang loose around her neck. There was a barely visible frown on her face as she spoke. "You have feelings for me."

"I don't know! Yes!" Amon growled in frustration. He let go of her wrist, which now was nice and red from his grip. His own hands where clenched in to fists as he stared down at the floor. Suddenly it was silent. Very silent. It felt like it was ripping him apart. Why wasn't she saying anything? Amon looked up at the woman; she was looking down with a glassy look on her face. "Kyo, say something..." Nothing. "Please!" Amon grasped her shoulders and shook her slightly. "You're driving me mad..." He spoke softly.

Kyo looked up with her eyes slightly narrowed. She grabbed his hands and pushed them off her shoulders, then took a step back from the man. "Leave...Please. Just leave."

Amon let his hands fall to his sides before he threw then up in anger. The man turned and took a step towards her window, but then quickly turned back to face the woman. "So what? Are you going to run away again? Like the thieving coward you are?"

"Get out!" Kyo growled. And that was what Amon did. She felt a horrible pit in her stomach. The woman felt terrible for what she just did. But Amon didn't have the right to call her a coward though! Kyo wasn't a coward. She just wasn't ready for love. She didn't want any love in her life anyways. At least that was what she was going to tell herself.

Damn. That man had a way to ruin her 'thief mode' mood.

Bitterly, the woman looked out the open window and walked over to it. Looking out in to the dark alley below, there was no sign of Amon. As to be expected.

It had been five days since that night. And in five days, Kyo had managed to get herself in to a shit load of trouble. After Amon had left, instead of doing thiefly things, Kyo had went and gotten herself drunk. After that, she remember how, the woman had managed to get herself involved with one of the cities bigger gangs. You remember the five creepy, gang rapists? The ones he had saved her from? Yeah. That gang.

Apparently the gang was called, 'The Agni Kai Triad'. And personally, Kyo sort of liked the name. But she didn't like that gang its self. No one had told her what she had done, and she sort of didn't want to know what she had done, but Kyo was being, in a way, blackmailed. Whether or not it would be considered blackmail, when she didn't know what she was being blackmailed for, Kyo had no idea.

But the job they had given her, involved stealing and spying on a rival street gang. The Red Monsoon Triad. Or something like that. Despite that the job they had given her was made up of things she loved to do, Kyo really didn't want to do the things wanted her to do. Now, if they had came up and asked her if she would do it, then the woman would have snatched it up. But because she was being forced, it was only natural she didn't want to do it.

Anyways, back in to present time, Kyo stood on the roof of some restaurant and watched as a man in a brown Fedora walked beneath her, with his hands stuffed suspiciously to the hands of his coat. She hadn't been given his name but she had been shown what he looked like.

Kyo followed him, jumping from roof to roof, ducking every time he happened to look up and around.

At one point, typically, the man turned in to another alley. Pulling his hand out of his pocket, Mr. Fedora guy held out a wad of yuon to another man, standing in the shadows by a dumpster. The guy in the shadows took the yuon and handed out something for Mr. Fedora guy.

Leaning over the edge a little bit more, Kyo saw that it was some sort of bag. Most likely containing some sort of illegal drug. That's what they usually held. After Fedora guy and shadow guy both left, Kyo grabbed the ledge of the building and jumped off; using the wall opposite of her and the one she was grabbing on to and slid down to the ground. Then she continued to follow Fedora guy. But sometime he must have sensed he was being followed.

Fedora guy turned and did a quick motion with his hand, making a chunk of earth come out of the ground and sent it sailing at Kyo. Bystanders in the way, and all around let out a gasp, or scream of some sort and jumped out of the way as it flew by, or towards them.

The thief punched her fist out a large blast of fire out of it, to block the earth chunk. So much for laying low.

While the fire blocked the earth chunk, another piece of the earth shot out of the ground in front of her and hit Kyo right under her rib cage and sent her flying backwards, with an unsettling crack. Most likely one of her ribs breaking.

As she hit the ground, the woman felt pain racking through her body. Even more so, when she forced herself up on her feet. The man was on the run now. Using her fire bending, Kyo shot fire out of the bottom of her feet and started to rocket in the man's direction, ignoring the screams and shouts of random citizens.

As she was right behind them Kyo dropped to the ground, but not before stumbling forward and almost falling on her face from the sudden excruciating pain that shot through her body. Specifically, more around her rib area. Kyo sent three waves of fire at the man as he ran across the street. Two hit some random Automobiles, making some sort of big jam up, but the other one got the back of Fedora guy's neck.

Once he yelped in pain and stopped running, it was then Kyo realised something. She wasn't supposed to be chasing this guy. She was only supposed to spy on him and the return back to the Agni Kai triad.

This probably wouldn't end well for Kyo. Despite that she told herself she didn't want anything to do with Amon again, the fire bender almost wished that he would come and save her or something along those lines.

The Agni Kai Triad hadn't been happy when they found out, to say the least. They especially weren't happy because some how they had found out what happened through a spy they had in the red monsoons. And Kyo had been punished for it. And gotten what sounded like a death threat almost if she ever did something as stupid as she had done again.

Kyo flopped down on to her back on her couch and stared up at the ceiling. Her body ached so badly. It was pretty badly bruised. Especially the left side of her face. Courtesy of the Agni Kai Triad. Not to mention she had a broken rib. The thief supposed that she should go see a healer, but she honestly didn't have the energy to go and find one. Instead she fell asleep.

Unfortunately in her dreams, Amon's masked face kept coming up. And he always kept saying something to her, but Kyo could never hear what it was. Ever.

She couldn't have been asleep for more than two hours when she was so rudely awaken by a knock on her door. And she was wondering why she was starting to lose her magic thief tough. Now she knew the answer. Because she was hardly ever getting any proper sleep!

Kyo started to doze off again, and whoever was at the other end of the door knocked again. Painfully, The woman forced herself off her couch and groggily stumbled towards the door.

When she opened the door, guess who was standing there? No it wasn't Korra or Amon. It was Tadao. the leader of the Agni Kai triad. If he was at her door this late at night, it couldn't have been good.

The man let himself in and Kyo watched him take a seat on her couch."Well don't just stand there gaping at me like some dumb animal. Shut the freakin' door!" He demanded. The woman did but continued to half glare at the sick, disgusting man, and half shot him a questioning look.

"...And why are you here?" She questioned suspiciously.

"Them stupid ass chi blockers are out looking for me." He answered calmely, putting his feet up on the coffee table.

"So you decided you would hide here?"

Tadao shrugged. "Yeah. They were getting close on my tail and here was the closest spot I knew I could hide."

Kyo glared at him. What a stupid, bastard of a man. Her door suddenly flew open, and guess who walked in this time? Chi blockers. Yay.

Sorry for the crappy chapter . Hopefully it will be better next time!
