PLEASE FAV, COMMENT, AND OR WATCH ME!

"i'm ready to listen." Katara said as she walked into Sokka's tent.

"you are?" asked Sokka as he looked up from Suki. "hey SUki, could you let Katara and I have a moment to ourselves?" Sokka asked Kevin.

"of course, Sokka." Suki said as she gave him a kiss on the cheek and left.

once Suki was out of the tent Katara turned to her brother. "why? why didn't you tell me?" she asked.

"i didn't know how to. i figured if i just walked out of the bushes i would scare you." he said with a sigh.

"no you wouldn't. i would have rejoiced because i missed you!" she all but yelled.

"i wanted to. i really did. but everytme i was about to i saw you talking to people. using dad and i as martyrs and... i just couldn't. you were keeping the fire nation focused on you. you were a distraction that we had been waiting for. and by the time i realized it it had already been 5 years. you would kill me yourself if i told you now." he said in one breathe.

"was that really what you were using me for? your own sister as a means?" she said outraged.

"no, it wasn't like that." Sokka said as his hand pulled at his hair. "while you were a distraction i could keep tabs on you. i could send people to be around you that would make sure you didn't get hurt."

"that is how i got out? i thought those men last year didn't look right. you sent them to get me out if everything went to the spiritworld in a basket?" Katara said as she started to pase.

"it wasn't suppose to end with 500 people dead." Sokka said as he looked at the dirt floor.

"i still haven't found out how the firenation found out we were coming." Katara said as she wiped a tear from her cheek.

"neither have we. i just about wanted to run to the fire nation myself once i got the report you had almost died." he said while looking up at her. "Zuko was the only reason i didn't run after you. he told me to wait until you got handed to us. and he was right. you got handed to him and he gave you to me." he said as he stood up off of the desk.

"i thoght you were dead." she said as she walked into his arms.

"i know, i know." he said as he stroked her hair. "im so sorry little panguin seel."

they just stood there for what felt like forever. she didn't know how much she missed him till that moment. him comforting her and telling her everything was going to be ok.

once they broke apart she wiped the tears of of her face and gave him a watery smile. "i missed you big polar bear dog." she said as she left his tent.
