Chapter 16

The overdramatic Kyo brought the knife to her wrist, vaguely noticing that the sun was reflecting off the ridiculously large kitchen knife and shining in to her eyes. She pressed it against her wrist, and then pulled the knife across. It didn't end up being a cut deep enough to kill her, but it still bled. I suppose you could say that, that was more of a test run. Which is sort of stupid when you're trying to attempt suicide!

Kyo took a deep breath and brought it right underneath the first cut. This time... this time it was going to be serious and not just a silly little scratch... the somehow managed to still bleed like nothing else. But, of course, before she could do any real damage, that was along the lines of ending her life, Kyo felt a sharp jab in the back of her upper arm, and her entire arm went limp. The knife fell in to the ground at her feet.

A strong arm from behind her, wrapped around the woman's chest and spun her around to face this mysterious chi blocker. But Kyo already knew who it was. So it really wasn't all that mysterious, was it?

"What the hell are you trying to do?!" He half shouted, half growled at the small fire bender. Kyo looked up at Amon and met his furious gaze. She returned it with an emotionless expression. An expression that made Amon look even more furious. The man grabbed her limp wrist and examined it. As he did, a trickle of the beautiful, red liquid rolled down her forearm at an angle and dripped off on to the ground. "Kyo!" he shouted again, out of frustration.

"Oh stop yelling. It's just a scratch." She growled right back. "Go 'play' with your little bimbo." And with that, she made a sorry attempt to pull her arm away from Amon's grasp. But considering that it had been paralyzed only moments ago, you could imagine how well that went. Using her other hand, Kyo made another attempt to pry his hand from her arm. "Let go!"

Amon's grip tightened and he grabbed her other wrist, pulling the over-dramatic woman closer to him. The man continued to scowl down at her in frustration. "It could have been more than just a 'scratch' if I hadn't seen you. Don't you think?" A dark look passed over his face. "You would have been dead." And somewhere in Kyo's little mind she was thinking something along the lines of, 'Way to go captain obvious.' But she didn't say it out loud. "Do you want to die? Because it's really not something that you can recover from, you know."

At the mention of Ivy, (aka the bimbo), the man let go of her wrists. He couldn't help but roll his eyes in annoyance. But not entirely at Kyo's ridiculous-ness. It was mostly at the memory of Ivy's attempts of seducing him. And he really didn't want to remember some of the things she tried. "She means nothing to me." He spoke in a low tone. "She is just a confused little-" That was when Kyo decided to cut in and finish the sentence, while voicing her thoughts on the teenager at the same time.

"Whore!" Amon's dark and stony expression cracked in to a slight smirk at that. Whore was the exact word to describe Ivy. But then it quickly went away. Now really wasn't the time for laughing, he supposed. The woman he loved just tried to kill herself over a misunderstanding.

"Kyo, why would you even think about suicide over something like this?" This time the usually masked man spoke in a gentler tone of voice. In the, not so, back of his mind, Amon sort of got the feeling then there was more to it than just Ivy being... Ivy.

The woman stared down at their shoes. Was talking about this, really all that necessary? Because Kyo didn't feel like talking. She felt like going to bed. "Because..." and the rest of what she said was mumbled as quietly as she possibly could talk.

Amon wore a blank expression as he looked down at her. "What?"

Kyo rolled her eyes. She repeated what she said, but this time only a tiny bit loud. That time she just got a look from the man that pretty much said, 'Really? Quit being an idiot and just spit it out!' It was amazing what some people's eyes could tell you, wasn't it? The fire bender let out a growl of frustration. "I said, I was tired of the effing universe taking ruining everything for me and taking away the one thing that I...I...I love. Twice!" As she started to go on her little rampage, Kyo could feel her face heating up with embarrassment. Sure, they had done all that wondrous, kissing stuff. But somehow telling the guy you love, that you love him for the first time... it was just embarrassing. And sappy. Kyo hated sappy! "When I got thrown in to prison after you disappeared, everyone kept telling me that you were dead. Exploded. And then they would leave me sitting there in the dark, literally, leaving me with nothing at all. I felt terrible. I blamed it on Korra and when I... got free, I went to pay her back. But that didn't go well for me. I soon came to realize that everything was pointless and empty and that I had nothing else left in this stupid, disgusting world. A stupid disgusting world, that wouldn't even let me die when I first tried. Which is how I even ended up here. I jumped off the cliff behind the arena and got knocked unconscious and half the bones in my body." Damn it. She was trying not to cry. It was stupid to cry right now. In fact, it was stupid to cry at all.

"Obviously, I didn't die. I was found washed up in some ones back yard. And then I found out that around the time you... 'died'..." She couldn't help but squeak the word slightly, "Someone else ended up here too. And when I found out who it was...I got so excited and thought things were going to start being ok or something..." A dark look suddenly passed across Kyo's face, and her eyes narrowed as she looked up at Amon. "Then she came." The woman hissed. "And I can imagine you can figure out what happened next." By now she was starting to be able to move her fingers again. And believe her, that was a nice feeling.

Amon stood there motionless for a moment. And then a sly smirk formed on his face. Kyo scowled up at him. "What are you smirking at?!" she snapped out of annoyance. The man found himself grabbing her wrist again. The used to be bloody one. He glanced down at it and saw that it was all starting to clot up around the 'scratch'. Which was surprising. He would have expected it to have kept on bleeding a while longer. But not enough to kill her. It looked like it had bled a little bit more though. There were bloody smudges in the palm of her hand and all around that area.

With a hand clamped on her wrist again, he pulled the small woman closer towards him, still continuing to smirk. "You love me?" Kyo felt herself get somewhat uncomfortable under his gaze right now. Embarrassed and uncomfortable... Or was that the same thing? Now would be the time for sarcasm.

The fire bender aloud herself to be pulled forwards and tried to stop the blush that she knew was spreading over her cheeks. Why else would they feel that warm? "No, I love that f****** bush over there. And as to be expected, Amon didn't say anything in response to her sarcasm. When did he ever?

And then... they once again found themselves kissing. Again. If Kyo wasn't the one being kissed, she would have thrown up long ago, and would continue to keep on throwing up. "I think I love you too." The man managed to mutter in between a kiss.

Kyo pulled back slightly and raised an eyebrow up at him. "You 'think'?" Amon just flashed her, an extremely arrogant (but at the same time sexy, but you will never know that because Kyo never said it was), smirk, and then leaned back in towards Kyo's lips. All she could do was smirk against his.

You know what the nice part of this kiss was? It was that they weren't going to be interrupted again. By little old medic ladies...Or bimbos... Or Kyo being stupid. Not today.

"I think I really love you." He mumbled in a husky voice, with his lips now to her forehead. "And I will never leave you. Ever."
