Kyo's eyes adjusted in a rather slow manner to the sudden burst of light in this room. But soon enough she saw a tall and muscular looking man with, just about, shoulder length, brown hair standing with his back to her. The woman felt a flutter of hope in her stomach as she slowly took another step in to the room. Kyo had only seen him once without a mask, and it had been at a bit of a distance, but she still saw Amon's face and would never forget what he looked like.
"Amon...?" She called out to the, currently, unknown man in a quite manner. Which, seeing as you know Kyo's personality, was rather uncharacteristic.
The fire bender swore she saw the man tense slightly. Then he spun around quickly to face her. Kyo suddenly felt a rush of excitement and her head felt rather light. It was him! She was sure of it!
The man's brown eyes widened, a little more than just slightly. And his mouth dropped open. He looked shocked to say the least. "Kyo...?" He blinked rapidly and took a bunch of steps towards the woman at an alarming, walking speed. He stopped when he was a little less than an arm's length away and slowly reached out a hand wrapped in a white guaz, towards Kyo. Lightly it brushed against her cheek.
Kyo couldn't stop the feeling of a thousand raging butterflies in her stomach, at his touch. Him obviously being Amon. She extremely, extremely, hoped so. His hand grasped Kyo's shoulder and she was pulled towards him and embraced in his muscular arms. Very tightly may she add. Sort of like he was worried that if he let go, then Kyo would melt away in to nothingness.
Despite how weak her arms felt, she managed to also rap them around Amon's torso, squeezing him as tight as she could. She really could only hug his torso though. His arms were preventing her from hugging anywhere else. She could barely move. But she didn't mind at all.
Kyo buried her face in to the, used to be, masked man's chest and she couldn't help but take in his, oh so familiar scent. It was definitely Amon's scent. Call her a blood hound if you must. "You're alive!" She exclaimed in a shaky voice. Though, it was rather muffled because of Amon's chest... Who honestly gave a shit right now though? And she wasn't going to be a big baby and cry. Kyo was honestly going to try hard not to. But she was just so happy right now. Maybe the universe didn't completely hate her after all.
"How the hell did you get here?" He asked in almost a whisper. Kyo couldn't help but give a shiver of delight, as his breath blew in to her ear as he spoke. Turning her head to the side, so that she could breathe again, and talk.
"Does it matter?" She asked, closing her eyes for no particular reason at all. Kyo wasn't about to tell him that she jumped off a cliff to, at the time anyways, hopefully land to her doom, but instead ended up waking up in some farmer's back yard. That would ruin the mood.
Amon didn't say anything to that. Which must have meant that he agreed? His grip on the small woman loosened up immensely. That definitely helped with her current little breathing problem, Kyo looked up at the man, taking in his appearance and burning it in to her memory. Amon looked down at her and gave a small and deep chuckle at the overjoyed expression on Kyo's face. She looked like a little five year old, that got told they get to have three Christmases this year with extra presents. What little kid wouldn't love that? At any rate, the man found it rather amusing.
"Why…Why aren't you dead?" She asked. Ok, so telling him that she tried to commit suicide and ended up here would ruin the mood, but this wouldn't? Damn, Kyo felt smart. Extremely smart. Amon ran his fingers through her short hair, with a somewhat relaxed and lazy looking expression on her face. If Kyo could purr she would. The man's fingers running through her hair felt good, and it made her feel sleepy. What a weird thing to feel at this time.
"Because I have no intention of dying at this moment." He spoke, in that wondrous and husky voice that Kyo felt like she hadn't heard in ages. A month and a half certainly was ages, for her. The fire bender couldn't help but smirk at his response.
She stopped smirking though, as she remembered that there had been another man with Amon during the little accident on that boat. Tarlock or something along those lines. "What happened to the other guy?" She asked curiously.
At the mention of the other fellow, Kyo saw pain, sorrow and guilt all flash through his eyes at once. His eyebrows furrowed in though, as both his hands slowly trailed down Kyo's sides, stopping at her waist. He pulled her closer to him and placed his chin on the top of the woman's head. If she hadn't missed him so bad, she would have punched him and assumed that this was some sort of mockery of her height.
Apparently he didn't want to talk about the other guy. They must have been close or something. Kyo's arms trailed up his back and she pulled him in to another hug, but this time, she titled her head up, in a rather awkward manner may I add, and planted a light kiss right in the spot where your jaw and neck finally meet. In all honesty, she really didn't care about what happened to the other guy. Tarlock. The council member had always struck her as kind of creepy. But she wasn't going to say anything just in case.
Amon removed his chin from the top of her head and breathed in to the woman's ear, "I've missed you. A lot." And with that, his lips covered Kyo's. The woman kissed back, and eventually, she felt his tongue asking for an entrance. Her mouth opened enough for Amon's tongue to enter in to her mouth and explore everywhere in it.
The man let out something between a moan and a sigh, as Kyo stroked his neck with one hand and ran her fingers through his hair, in a similar manner that he had done to her.
But it was all over soon enough, when a rather loud and obnoxious bang was heard, from the door slamming open.
"Oh, Noatak!" And extremely feminine voice sang from the doorway. Kyo's eyes snapped open, as did Amon's, and she slowly pulled away from the kiss. Staring at Amon's neck for a second, Kyo finally turned and looked over her shoulder. There stood a girl about Korra's age, if not a little older. She was beautiful in every way and it was only natural that the fire bender took an instant hating towards the wretched bimbo. Long, beautiful hair, full, red lips… flawless skin. Tall. And a wonderful figure.
The brat seemed to make no notice to the fact that Kyo was there and that herself and Amon where entangled in one another's arms right in the middle of the room. She felt the man's grasp on her tighten for a second. Both of them allowed their arms to fall back to their sides. Kyo stepped away from the man and sent around of death glares towards the oblivious girl.
"Noatak! Do you want to go to a party with me? Pleeaaasssseee?" She skipped right in to the room and latched on to his arm, like the little leach she was. Well, Kyo had just decided that, that was what the girl was. "Everyone is just dying to finally meet you!"
The fire bender breather through her nose, and wasn't surprised to feel smoke creep out of her nostrils, from anger. They would die alright. Starting with that little brat right there.
Amon glanced at Kyo, breathing in and feeling slightly worried about the dark expression on the woman's face, along with the smoke that appeared to be seeping out her nose in a way that much reminded him of a dragon. A very scary dragon. Looking down at the girl attached to his arm with a slight scowl on his face, the man made an attempt to pull it out of her grasp. "Ivy…" He warned, fighting off the urge to blood bend her right out the window.
It was a shame that this girl had to live in the same building that Amon was currently residing in. One time he had woken up in the middle of the night, to her leaning extremely close to him with a lustful look in her big blue eyes. That hadn't been creepy at all. Hence the sarcasm in that.
'Ivy' tightened her grasp and smiled seductively at the man, before slightly whispering in his ear, "Come on… I promise you will have a very good time…"
Kyo's fists clenched at her side, at the girl's action. Lets see… burn the entire building down along with everyone in it? Or stalk out angrily and go do something stupid? Being as it was Kyo, definite wrong ideas started to form in her head about Amon and this little bitch. She didn't even notice the looks and attempts to escape that the man made towards the girl.
"I won't interrupt you're little moment then." She snapped, sending another round of death glares towards the two. The universe really did hate her. And it was probably laughing at Kyo right now, thinking something around the lines of, 'Oh, look! Dinner and a show!"
Amon ripped his arm from the brat's grasp and managed to shove her to the side, he growled a "I don't do whores, love." Ivy squeaked slightly in surprise of his actions, the scary expression se received and the ton of his voice. As he went to look at Kyo and save them both from this misery, he was just in time to see the small woman stalk out of the room and house.
Of course it had to be this way. This was Kyo he was dealing with, and Ivy wasn't making the situation any better. Amon, or Noatak, which ever you prefer, shot Ivy one last deadly glare, before quickly trying to follow Kyo.
"Wait! Noatak, where are you going?" The bimbo bitch squealed after him. He prayed hard that she didn't up and decide she was going to follow him. Otherwise Amon would blood bend her to her sad and pathetic little death, right then and there. He was surprised that he hadn't done that already though.
The wind blew rather hard, as Kyo marched through the forest, right back to Winter's home. She should have expected that when she finally loved someone, they would go and cheat like that. Kyo thought that she had been loved for once! Now she was just going to go, say goodbye to the people who had oh so generously, taken care of her. Then she was going to kill herself again. And she wasn't being over dramatic!
Kyo started trying to list ways of how she could do it this time. But this f****** wind kept on interrupting her train of thought. "Shut up, universe!" She yelled. At the wind. Don't judge her, the woman was upset, ok?
When she finally arrived back at the house she had been staying in, it appeared that no one was home. That sucked.
The woman went and scribbled down a note, which simply read, 'Thanks for everything.' And left it on the table. Kyo went in to her borrowed bedroom and looked around it. The only thing she had really brought with her was that mask. She didn't need that mask. Not anymore. It looked like almost everything was all set then. Except for one last thing. How would she choose to die today, hmm? She supposed that she could just tie herself to a tree and set the forest on fire. Hopefully she would die from lack of oxygen first. Or she could just hang herself from a tree. Or… cut her wrists open, maybe? Sure it would hurt at first… but she would probably just fall asleep eventually, and never wake up. That worked for her.
But she wasn't going to go it in this house. Kyo admitted that Cheza and Genji where rather cute. And she really didn't want to scar them. Or Hana and Winter for that matter. Kyo imagined that Winter would probably handle it a lot better than Hana or those kids ever would though. But maybe not. Looks where always deceiving. Always. And can you imagine cleaning up the mess? Wouldn't that be fun…
No, if that was the way she was going to die, Kyo would do it out in that lovely little forest. Blood red would look quite nice, along with the earthy colors of it. The woman grabbed a sharp kitchen knife and off she went.
He had seen her march off in to that forest. He was sure of it. But now, here Amon was, walking around and around and around. He loved her. He really did. But Kyo could be so difficult! With a slight growl of frustration, Amon/Noatak punched the trunk of a tree. Woman where confusing enough for Amon, half the time. And it didn't help at all that he had an insane little teenage bimbo whispering suggestive things in to his ears and try to seduce him. But failing. Oh, and watching him in his sleep. He really didn't appreciate that either.
The man ignored the pain that shot through his, still injured but healing, hand as it made contact with the hard and bumpy bark of the tree.
Then he saw something out of the corner of his eye. Like sun reflecting off of metal. Turning his head in that direction he saw most of Kyo, standing at a distance from him. With a knife. And she was upset. Upset and knives usually didn't go well together at all.
So you guys got what you wanted =P With a slight twist. It was definitely different from what I originally had planned for this chapter. I also feel that this story only has a couple more chapters in it before it comes to an end. I really don't want to ruin it by dragging the poor story, on and on and on.
Anyways, what did you think? Did I get somewhat out of character with Amon? I couldn't help but feel that I might have… hmm…
