The long awaited reunion between Zuko and Katara came at last. If she was sitting, Yue would be at the edge of her seat.
Their auras had changed over the months, as auras often do. They always stayed within the their normal range of colours, but that didn't mean big changes couldn't happen – an obnoxiously cheerful lime green could fade to a soft spoken sea foam.
In this case, both Zuko and Katara's had darkened to a purple-y tone, the slivers of each other entangled within their auras blending together almost seamlessly. The darkening was caused by fear and regret and guilt, though they both had very different reasons for feeling such things. Nonetheless, Yue decided this was a good sign – they were in a similar state of mind, so they should be able to relate and connect with each other... right?
But things didn't go as well as she had hoped. The moon watched helplessly as Zuko struggled to apologize for his past and explain his desire to help, only to receive rejection in response. Anger and hurt and mistrust radiated from Katara as she sent the boy away, a fact the ever-perceptive Toph seemed to pick up on.
And even when he finally received acceptance, she continued to reject him (Yue, in a twisted way, was pleased to know how horribly this tore Zuko up inside. That was a sign he liked her, right?).
"I'll make sure your destiny ends, right then and there. Permanently," Katara threatened, eyes narrowed and tone menacing. She had leaned in close to Zuko so he got the full effect of her rage, and Yue toyed with the idea of making him kiss her.
Definitely not a good idea, she quickly decided, seeing as Katara had been somewhat displeased when Aang, her best friend, had kissed her unexpectedly. Who knew what might happen if her former enemy did?
It seemed there were a lot of kinks to work out before their romance could blossom.
Author's Notes: I've decided to spend the day typing up fic updates, so expect a bunch more posts from me. Probably not all on this, though.
Anywho, hope you enjoy this chapter. =D
