I stood there in shock. Katara had never told me that she was the Water Tribe leader's daughter. Granted I did not tell her who I was but the shock was still over whelming. How could I have not seen it? The way the other water tribesmen treated her with slightly more respect like my fellow fire nation dwellers did to me. I looked at the girl before me again; there was always the chance that it was not the same person. It did not matter how many times I tried telling myself this, my brain had already acknowledged it: Katara and Kitty were the same person.
I walk closer to her, "Hey Katara!" My cheek began to sting, "What the hell!"
"How do you now my real name, I never told you. Nor would my father," she lowered her hand to her side.
"We go to school together!"
"No we don't," Kitty's eyes went to my face, "I would recognize that hideous scar anywhere."
The shock came back. It was like the first time I met Katara. She stood up to and insulted me. They couldn't be the same. Katara never talked about my scar. I mean she asked about it and I told the story of the fire but that was it. She wanted more information but what I was had to be kept a secret: benders should never make themselves known. Realization hit me quickly; maybe Katara knew what I was. I did hint on it when I said that she liked to play with fire, but she did the same when we talked about water. Katara is a waterbender! Maybe Kitty is also... I stared at the teen girl before me. There was the chance that she did have the 'power'.
"Listen up here you bi-" I caught my tounge, "You girl. I'll be back in a moment just stay here!"

"Chief? With all do respect, you daughter is a monster!"
My father jumped up at my words, "Zuko! How dare you! Apolo-"
"Calm Ozai, he is right. Let me guess you got a taste of Kitty,"
I gestured to my cheek, "Yeah, and it hurt like hell." My dad's ears redden at my language.
"And the Kitty, or rather Katara, you know is nothing like that. She is...mellow," I nodded my head in response, "Zuko, you may have caught on to it by now but, Katara and Kitty are indeed the same person. You see...when my children were four and five their mother and sibling died in childbirth. I should have noticed it back then but the death of her mother affected Katara more. She now hated the term Kitty, which is what her mother and I would always would call her. When the children came into their teens, Sokka, my son, went off to the Warriors' Circle along with his Earth Kingdom girlfriend."
"But Sir, you said that the heir of the Bei Fong's was with the Air Temple heir."
"Yes, Toph and Aang are indeed dating. However, Suki is just a random girl who my son met at school."
"Son, he basically did what you sister did: got involved with someone from Warriors' Circle and won't let them go." I barely managed to suppress a groan at my sire's obvious observation.
The blue-eyed man nodded, "Moving on, I expected Katara to have accepted her mother's fate, though part of me knew she would never embrace it. When she turned about twelve she started acting even stranger. Leaving for and during school she was like the Katara you know; but at night...Kitty would come out. She had even started asking me to call her by her old nickname. I agreed but if I did so in the morning she would well up with tears. After a visit to the healers we found out the reason. Overtime Katara's depression effected her brain terribly; she had been forced to grown up to young. So she had developed another personality, one that we call Kitty."
