Can't believe this story has gotten over 14,800 views since I posted it back in June. I thought of this story when I scrolled through the website for Kataang stories and passing over the Zutara stories (I know I could just filter out Zuko but I don't want to miss any kataang stories that just happen to have him tagged). Reading the summaries of the Zutara stories, I couldn't help but think of how heart broken Aang would be had Katara chose Zuko over him. I get sad just thinking about it.

Lately I've been busy reading Kataang stories, crying about the creators leaving the live action remake (pretty much ruined my day when I found out), and watching LOK. As always I appreciate all the reviews you guys leave me, it makes me happy knowing that people enjoy this story and "Yandere Katara".

Katara arrived at Omashu. She had decided that she couldn't wait longer for any update on Aang's whereabouts, so she sailed off to confront king Bumi. The trip took less than a week. Zuko was busy with his duties so she had left him a message telling him that she was going off to visit some friends in the earth kingdom. Katara knew better than to just tell him that she was trying to get information from Bumi. There was no way Zuko would have let her leave because of Aang.

Katara didn't like having to lie to her boyfriend but she had no choice. She needed to find her best friend and Bumi was her best chance. After spending almost a year with him every day, she grown used to having Aang by her side. Now with him gone, she wasn't as happy as she used to be. Before she met him, she was just a novice water bender who had no one to teach her how to bend and had to step up as a maternal figure for her family after her mother's death. She wasn't sure that she'd ever leave the south pole until she and Sokka freed Aang from his frozen prison. He reminded her what it was like to have fun. Every day that she spent with him was a new adventure. With him gone from her life again, it was like he took a part of her with him.

Katara met with the guards at the gate and told them that she had business to speak of with their king. Since the war ended, the world had heard the story of how team avatar defeated Ozai and stop the war. With that in mind, the guards had no problem with letting her meet with Bumi. They escorted her to the palace and after a few minutes, King Bumi was ready to meet with her.

As soon as Bumi heard that Katara had come to meet him, he already knew it was because of Aang. Once he sat down on his throne, he motioned to his guards to let her in.

"Ah, master Katara. It is good to see you again.", he greeted her.

"As always it is a pleasure to see you again King Bumi", Katara bowed.

"Just Bumi is fine. So what can I do for you? I'm sure that this isn't really a social visit you're making.", Bumi replied.

'Straight to the point. Bumi might be crazy but he isn't a fool.', Katara thought to herself.

"Well, a couple weeks after the war ended Aang left us to fulfill his avatar duties across the world. He never said anything about it to any of us and when I found out…he was already gone. He left a letter saying why he left and how he didn't want to be found but it's been months since I've seen him. I heard that he recently came here so I was hoping that you could help me find him.", she explained.

"You said it yourself that he doesn't want to be found so why bother looking for him?", Bumi asked.

"I believe there is something he isn't telling us, and it could be the real reason as to why he left."

'Yes, and the reason is quite literally YOU.', he thought to himself before speaking. "Well if it makes you feel better, he was quite fine when he was visiting. He stuck around for a week and we spent the whole time together having fun like we used before the war started."

"Has he said anything to you about why he chose to just travel by himself?", Katara questioned.

'I suppose I could tell her the truth…but it wouldn't be right. This is something she has to learn from Aang.'. "He just needs to have time to himself. Besides, he isn't really traveling by himself if he has Momo and Appa with him."

"Everyone keeps saying that he needs time to himself but what for?", Katara was getting tired of everyone saying that. She knew well that Aang was no introvert.

"Considering he woke up after a hundred years, found out he was the last air bender, mastered the other three elements, and stopped the war within less than a year…I'm sure he just needs time to adjust to himself.", Bumi hoped that this explanation would suffice.

"You and I both know that Aang doesn't have to force himself to be alone for that. He knows that we would want to be there for him."

"True but it is what he wants. Not much else we can do about it but respect his wishes.", Bumi then stood up from his throne, "You must be hungry from your trip, let's have some lunch."

The water bender complied and walked with him to the dining area. They sat across from each other at the table and starting eating.

"So what did you and Aang do together while he was here?", Katara wondered.

"Oh we did some sliding down the delivery system, did some earth bending sparring, pulled pranks on the citizens, guards, the cabbage merchant, and each other. Just like we used to a hundred years ago.", He thought to himself before speaking, 'Should I bring it up? Hmm, I'm curious to see how she'll react to this.'.

"Sounds like you two had a lot of fun together.", Katara replied with a bitter tone. It didn't go unnoticed.

"That we did. If only you saw his face when he woke up with ten women from the Omashu brothel I had sent into his chambers."

Katara spit her drink. "You sent prostitutes to him?!"

"Yes, I did. Figured that I treat him to something nice.", Bumi cackled. He recalled how his friend looked once he evaded the women.

"Why would you do that?!", she couldn't believe that Bumi would do such a thing but then again…he was crazy.

"Why not? After all that he's done for the world, I would say that he deserves an appropriate service for his deeds. And as far as I know, he doesn't have a girlfriend, so it isn't like he had anything to hold him back."

"He shouldn't be doing such things to begin with.", Katara slammed her hands on the table. She turned her head. There was something she had to know. "D-d-d-did he…he do it?"

"Do what?", Bumi questioned.

"Have s-sex with the w-w-women?", Katara stuttered as she turned back to him. She twirled her hair with her fingers anticipating Bumi's answer.

"Heh…no he didn't. He ran out of the room before the women had their way with him."

Katara let out a sigh of relief. She was glad to hear that Aang didn't do anything with the sex workers. She didn't know why but she just was. After processing what Bumi just said, it seemed to her that Aang was doing just fine while she was miserable and missed him.

'If he can take some time to have fun with Bumi then why hasn't he come back to me?'. She could only hope now that Bumi knew where Aang was at the moment.

"Do you know where he is right now?", she finally asked.

"What makes you think I would know that?"

"You're his best friend. I'm sure that he would have told you something."

Bumi made sure to choose his words correctly before speaking. "He might have gone south from what I remember. My memory has been foggy lately."

Katara narrowed her eyes. "I don't believe that for a second. You know exactly where he went."

'She is quite perceptive.'. "Believe what you want.", he replied with a smirk.

She pushed back her chair as she stood up, "Tell me where he is!"

"And if I don't?"

Katara opened her water pouch and bent the water out, "I'll make you tell me."

With that, she bent the water she had into several sharp icicles and aimed them at Bumi. His guards started to move but their king put his hand up to stop them. Bumi wasn't fazed by her threat in the slightest.

"You would threaten the king of Omashu?", he asked.

"If it means I'll be able to find Aang then yes! I would threaten the king.", Katara replied with a determined look in her eyes.

"If Aang wanted you to find him then you would have already. Besides, he is a busy man with work to do."

"IF HE CAN MAKE TIME FOR YOU THEN HE SHOULD DO THE SAME FOR ME!", Katara hollered.

"He made time for me because I hadn't seen him for a hundred years. With the war over, there was no better time."

"Just tell me where he is! I won't hesitate to beat the answer out of you.", she demanded.

"Attack me and you will start another war! You and I both know that is the last thing the Avatar needs to deal with after just ending the last war. How do you think he would feel knowing you attacked his oldest friend?", Bumi responded. 'Just how far is this girl willing to go for you Aang?'.

Katara felt her resolve begin to waver. As much as she wanted to find Aang, she didn't want to cause any trouble for him. Plus, she knew that Aang wouldn't forgive her for attacking his friend. She bent the water back into her pouch. Her arms slouched down to her sides as she kept her eyes on Bumi.

"Please Bumi…I need to see him. I just have to.", Katara begged, "He just left without saying anything to me and…I-I miss him so much."

Bumi felt sorry for her. He wished that he could tell her, but he knew that Aang trusted him not to reveal his location.

"I'm sorry young lady, but I will not."

Katara walked away from the table and headed towards the door. She stopped right in front of the door and spoke again.

"Just tell me this then. Is he avoiding the rest of us…or is he avoiding just me?"

"I know you're tired of hearing this but give him time Katara. We both know Aang well enough to know that he will come around.", he avoided answering her question. She didn't say anything else as she opened the door and left. She ran out of Omashu as quickly as she could.

Once she was a mile away from the city, she looked around to see if there was anyone around and found no one nearby. Katara let the tears she held back flow now as she fell to her knees. Bumi may have avoided answering her question but now she was certain. Aang was avoiding her. She suspected that Aang left because of her but now that suspicion became fact. Aang left her and there was nothing she could do but cry at the realization.

Meanwhile, Aang was still on Kyoshi Island with his friends. Tonight was going to be the last night that they spent together. He, Appa, and Momo were going to travel to the northern water tribe while Sokka, Suki, and Toph sailed back to the fire nation.

They all sat together around the same bonfire as before with the other Kyoshi warriors except Ty Lee who had left with Mai to visit her family. Aang had asked Suki to bring the warriors to the bonfire so that he could give them all a surprise.

"Alright Aang, the girls are here. So what did you want to show us?", Suki spoke up.

"There is someone special that I think you all will be excited to meet. After all that you girls have done traveling all over the world and helping others, it's the least that I can do.", he responded.

"Trust me babe, you're going to love this.", Sokka assured Suki. Aang already told him and Toph earlier what he had planned for the Kyoshi warriors.

Aang stood up from where he sat in front of the fire and walked a few steps away from the bonfire.

He turned back to the group, closed his eyes and took a breath. When his eyes opened, they were glowing along with his tattoo. The wind started to blow fast and Aang was engulfed in a tornado. The Tornado dispersed quickly and revealed Avatar Kyoshi standing in Aang's place.

The Kyoshi warriors couldn't believe it. The Avatar that they aspired to be like was right in front of them. The girls lined up horizontally and kneeled down in front of her. As captain, Suki was the first to speak.

"Avatar Kyoshi, it is an honor for us to meet you. The teachings that you have passed down are still with us even today."

"Even after my death, I still made sure to watch over everyone in the village. All of you and the warriors before you have made me proud. Now stand up, you don't need to bow down to me.", Avatar Kyoshi spoke. They listened and stood on their feet.

"I have watched over you and spoken with Aang about all that you've done. Letting me take over so that I can meet you all was his idea. I'm afraid I can't stay long but if you have any questions then I will answer them to the best of my abilities."

The Kyoshi warriors were quick to ask their questions. Some personal and some were about fighting. After a few minutes Kyoshi had managed to answer every question that she could and even showed them some fighting stances.

"Thank you for taking the time to grace us with your presence Avatar Kyoshi.", said Suki.

"It was my pleasure. Again, you have all made me proud, especially you Suki.", Kyoshi responded with a smile.

"Oh I've only just did what was expected from me", Suki blushed.

"Nonsense. I'm aware of the work you did to help Aang defeat the fire nation. You have earned your title as captain of the Kyoshi warriors. The team is in good hands with you as their leader. Do continue to help Aang however you can."

"Always. The girls and I will do our best to honor your legacy.", Suki and her team bowed.

"Good.", Kyoshi dropped her smile and turned to Sokka, "You come here!".

Before Sokka could move, she used her air bending to pull him towards her. When he was close enough, Kyoshi grabbed his shirt collar and raised him up in the air.

"WHOA! What's the big ide—", he tried to speak but was interrupted.

"I'm only going to say this once to you. All the Kyoshi warriors are like my daughters, so remember this young man…if you hurt Suki, I will not hesitate to take over Aang's body and castrate you myself. Do I make myself clear?"

Sokka nodded his head. He was too scared to say anything while Toph and the Kyoshi warriors laughed at him.

"Man! Lady you are one hell of an Avatar.", Toph said after wiping a tear from her eye. Kyoshi dropped Sokka and turned to her.

"I've seen what you could do. You used your disability to your advantage and became an amazing earth bender. To create even metal bending at such a young age. I look forward to seeing what you do next.", Kyoshi stated with another smile.

"I won't disappoint you Kyoshi. I am the world's greatest earth bender after all.", Toph smirked. She tried not to show it but it meant a lot to Toph that she impressed Kyoshi.

"Such confidence, I like that.", Kyoshi then turned back to the warriors, "It is time for me to go my daughters."

"Um before you go…can we hug you?", Suki asked.

Kyoshi spread her arms, "Of course you can."

They all came together and hugged the Avatar.

"It was a pleasure to meet you girls. Keep making me proud.". The wind started to blow again and engulfed Kyoshi and the girls. Once it dissipated, Aang had returned and in the arms of the Kyoshi warriors.

"THANK YOU SO MUCH AANG!", Suki spoke, and the other girls expressed their thanks as well.

"No problem. You all deserve it after all you've done.", Aang replied. The group hug was then broken off.

"Did she have to threaten me like that?", Sokka wondered as he stood up from the ground.

Suki and Aang looked to each other and turned back to him.

"Yup!", they both said in unison.

"Someone has to keep you in line Snoozles.", Toph spoke up and everyone but Sokka laughed.

They all sat around the bonfire again and eventually went back to their cabin to sleep. They all had a journey to make the next day and would need any rest that they could get.

The next morning, they were all packed and ready to go. Aang jumped off Appa's saddle to say his final goodbye to his friends.

"It was good seeing you all again.", Aang spoke as he met up with his friends.

"It sure was. Don't think this is the last time though, I expect to see you again soon Twinkle-toes.", Toph replied and punched his shoulder. Aang rubbed the spot she hit, he could never get used to how hard Toph hit him.

"Don't worry. This won't be the last time we see each other.", he assured her.

"I hope you're able to work out your feelings Aang. In fact, I'm sure you will, you beat Ozai your way so I'm sure you'll be able to get over your feelings.", Toph hugged Aang and he returned the embrace.

"Thank you Toph. It means a lot to me.", they broke the hug and Toph stepped back as Suki walked up to Aang and embraced him in her arms as well.

"I can't thank you enough for last night. It means a lot to me and the Kyoshi warriors what you did for us.", she spoke as she pulled her head back.

"Don't worry about it. I just thought I could do something special for you after all you've done to help me.", he replied. Suki put her hand on his cheek before speaking again.

"Now remember what I've told you. Take as much time as you need to, and if you ever need us then we'll come as soon as possible. You will never have to worry about being alone".

Aang nodded his head and thanked her. Suki kissed his cheek before breaking off the hug. Then Sokka came up from behind Suki.

"Now I expect a letter from you as soon as you land at the North pole young man.", Sokka spoke with his "Wang Fire" accent.

"Sure thing Sokka", Aang chuckled.

"So what exactly are you going to do there?", Sokka wondered.

"Well it's been a while since we came to the northern water tribe and it's a good place to learn how to heal myself with water bending. I could also use it to heal others that will need help as well."

"Knowing how reckless you can be sometimes…yeah you'll definitely need those healing abilities."

"You guys have any plans at the fire nation?", the air bender asked.

"Just the usual. Helping Zuko smooth relations with the water tribes and earth kingdom. Nothing too major."

"Have fun with that."

"Oh yeah…I'll definitely have fun doing political work.", Sokka replied with a flat tone.

"I'll miss you guys"

"We'll miss you too buddy"

The two friends hugged it out. Toph and Suki got in and made it into a group hug. No one said anything until a sniff was heard. Toph, Suki, and Sokka turned to see Aang with tears in his eyes.

"Aw Aang don't cry…W-we'll see you again.", Suki stuttered as she started to cry as well.

"But it's my fault things are like this. If I could have just stayed then we wouldn't have to meet up like this.", he replied.

"Look at me Aang…", he turned to Sokka, "Do not blame yourself for this. If you had stayed then you would have been suffering. You were only doing what was best for yourself and Katara. The situation we're in won't be forever. Things will work out eventually."

"N-n-now quit being a s-s-sissy al-ready…", Toph demanded. Her bangs covered her eyes, but the others could see tears dripping down.

"Don't beat yourself up over this Aang. We'll get through this eventually. We l-love you-u-u no matter…what.", Suki did her best to be assuring but she couldn't stop crying.

The four of them finally let their tears out together. No one but Appa and Momo saw them as they cried together. After what felt like an hour for them, they let go of each other. It was time for Aang to go. He jumped on to Appa's head and took the reins. He wiped his tears as he looked back at his friends who were doing the same.

"As soon as I land at the north pole, I'll send you a letter."

"Until next time little brother", Sokka bid with a sad smile.

"Don't go slacking off on your training either. You're not an earth bending master yet.", said Toph as she crossed her arms.

"Stay safe out there Aang.", Suki finally said.

Aang nodded in response and turned down to Appa. "Yip Yip"

With that, Appa soared into the air and flew in the north direction. Aang looked down to his friends and waved. They waved back at him until they couldn't see Appa anymore.

Momo jumped on to Aang's shoulder. After seeing his friend crying with the others, all the lemur wanted to do was help comfort Aang.

"Alright you two…", he spoke to his furry friends, "Let's get to the north pole!"

If you guys like this chapter then be sure to leave a review for me. Reviews keep me motivated. I'll get to work on the next chapter of "Yandere Katara" as soon as I can. I'm thinking maybe after I am finished watching LOK (I'm currently bingeing through book 2). Hope ya'll have a good day.
