Yue was not one to get angry. Normally, she was even-tempered and rational. However, as she charged through the Spirit World in search of s certain someone, she was finding it very difficult to keep her anger in check.

"Roku!" she called, hands balled into fists. "I need to speak with you!"

"Hello, Yue," the spirit in question greeted, materializing before her with a pleasant smile. "What seems to be the problem?"

"Did you do something to make Katara fall in love with Aang?" Sometimes, it was best to be straightforward and blunt.

He looked slightly taken aback (as expected) and said, a bit defensively, "Now, I don't see why-"

"Did you or did you not?"

"I-" he hesitated, meeting her stern gaze warily. With a sigh of defeat, he said, "Yes." Seeing her narrowed eyes, he quickly added, "But I did so with the best intentions! Aang has faced so much hardship because of my mistakes, I thought-"

"You thought it would be okay to disregard the hard work of another spirit, not to mention Katara's fate and feelings?" she snapped. If she thought she was angry before, it was nothing compared to what she felt now – somewhere in the physical world, waves were starting to build. "This isn't your place to meddle, Roku! You're a Guide, not a Fate!"

"And as a Guide it is my duty to put the best interest of the Avatar as top priority," he boomed, seeming to grow with his anger.

She remained firm. "I'd suggest you stop, unless you want this reported to the Universe."

"That-" he started, eyes widening slightly (the Universe, overseer of all, was a harsh, no-nonsense fellow that could be rather cruel in its punishments). "That would be quite unnecessary."

"I don't have to do it," she said, forcing her tone to remain even, "if you tell me exactly what you did so I can reverse the effects."

Roku had the decency to look ashamed, saying, "I possessed her. It should wear off in about a month."

Feeling her shoulders sag (a month? She didn't have a month to waste on something that should already be finished), she watched in silence as he dissipated, clearly wanting to avoid more of her questions.

It seemed she would have to start from square one.


Author's Notes: I think this chapter turned out rushed, but I still like it. And, incase you haven't noticed, I'm having immense fun playing around with the Spirit World. xD
