There was one particular couple (a surprising couple) that she couldn't help becoming fixated on. Sokka's sister –Katara, if memory served her right – was trapped in Ba Sing Se with that scarred boy she fought at the North Pole.
One might wonder how she was able to see them, since they were far below the ground. Well, it's the same reason she can be a fish in a pond, a moon in the sky, and a spirit in a swamp, all at the same time. The laws of physics don't really apply when you become the moon spirit (or any spirit, really).
Anyway, the reason they caught her attention was because of the irony of their aura colours at the moment. Katara – strong, passionate, temperamental, kind-hearted, controlling Katara – was red. Red. And, believe it or not, the boy (Prince Zuko? Was that what she had called him?) was blue – lonely, sad, self-conscious, and just plain tired.
Now, there are different meanings with different shades and sizes and shapes of auras, but at that moment all Yue was concerned about was the insane irony of the situation. That and the fact that red and blue people often made good matches (which was also ironic, actually. Two enemies as potential soul mates? That was beyond bizarre).
And then, too add to all the weirdness, they bonded. She knew they bonded because they exchanged a piece of each other's aura. Not only that, but it was an eternal bond – even after the fighting and almost-death and everything else, they still carried a fragment of each other's aura with them.
Hm. Interesting.
Author's Notes: Yes, this is a Zutara fic. Shouldn't be surprising if you know my other fics.
Didn't mention this before, but the current title is subject to change. Any advice on a better one would be loved.
