Chapter four: The Two Sides Of Toph
Aang stepped into the barn where Appa and Momo where staying to make sure his friends were okay. There was only one problem Appa was gone. Momo was asleep by a large lump of Appas fur and purring softly. The Avatar rushed over to him quickly and grabbed him up.
?Momo where?s Appa?!? Aang asked him. Momo looked around and then shrugged and began to fall back to sleep after crawling back onto Appa?s fur. ?Well Momo?s not worried so he knows Appa?s with someone trustworthy.?
?Good morning Aang!? Katara called out to him from outside of the barn. Aang put on a smile and went to his bride-to-be. Sneaking up behind her he placed a chaste kiss on her neck.
?Good morning my dearest.? Katara smiled and continued rummaging through a large bag she had in her hands. ?What?s in the bag?? He stuck a hand in to try and pull out a random object.
?Aang!? Katara shouted at him and pulled away. ?This is bag of somethings I bought for Toph yesterday, but I forgot to buy this one thing so I was going to ask if I could borrow Appa.?
?You can?t?? Aang said softly.
?And why not?? Katara asked tapping her foot against the stone.
?Because Appa?s not here Katara. I loaned him out last night. Sorry.? The Avatar rubbed the back of his head and his fiancé turned with a huff and left.
?You could have told me that last night!? Aang shuddered at her coldness and formed an air ball and rolled around on it for a while hopping Appa would show up soon so Katara would be happy with him again.

Zuko felt her arms wrap around him and smiled against her mouth. Pulling her closer to him he began undoing the tie for her hair so he could run his fingers through those inky black tresses. He felt her face grow warm under his cheek and smiled wider. She was shaking slightly and he couldn?t tell if it was from anticipation or nervousness. Parting his lips he took her lower lip sucking and nipping at it. The Fire Lord felt her hands tugging slightly on the hair at the back of his head and he ignored it. Picking her up slightly he blindly found his way while carrying her to his bed. Laying her down gently lying on top over her. She moaned lightly at the feel of his body. Slowly he began trying to find away to get her clothes off with out them having to part.
?Z-zuko? N-no? We c-can?t? I? you? love?? She whispered against his lips. He kissed her nose lightly.
?I love you too,? he whispered and heard her sharp intake of breath. ?Mai.? He put his lips down on hers and felt her struggle. Then Zuko felt a sharp pain in his side as he was thrown out of his own bed. Jumping to her feet she held him prisoner with his ankles shackled inside of the floor. Rushing over to him she slapped him as hard as she could.
?Open you?re eyes Sparky!? Toph demanded. Zuko startled did as he was told and instantly felt like a mountain had collapsed on top of him. Her clothes were half open and dishelmed and her hair hung down her back in messy tendrils. ?I am not Mai!? he could hear the hurt and the anger in her voice. ?I thought maybe you were getting over her and that?s why you kissed me! I can tell now that I was merely going to be a replacement!? her words stung Zuko like thousands of Mai?s knives.
?Toph please don?t! I didn?t know what I was doing!?
?You are damn right you didn?t know what you were doing Sparky! Now you don?t have to worry why I was being the fragile girl my parents raised me to be! It?s because you?re only attracted to that kind of person! Trust me I will never let you into my heart again! Go to Katara for you?re advising needs! I?m gone!?
?Toph no please!? Zuko felt his throat closing. ?Don?t leave me alone! You?re the only person who understands! You?re the only person who can help me!?
?You should have thought of that before you broke my heart. When Uncle Iroh returns he and I will be leaving. I will keep an eye out for you?re sister. Goodbye my Lord.? Toph ignoring the pain in her heart at leaving him the way he was walked slowly and surely out of the room and as far away from Zuko as she could get. The Fire Lord felt himself shudder and begin to cry. He heard people rushing towards the open door to his room. The rock around his ankles loosened and the floor became whole again. One of his guards rushed into his room.
?My lord!? The guard said as he came in and Zuko was already standing his back to the man.
?Yes?? Zuko asked.
?You?re Uncle has been found. He just returned while riding on the back of the Avatar?s flying bison. He had went to go find the perfect breakfast tea and ended up winning a game of Pai Sho. He said he would have to check on Lady Toph before coming to see you.? Zuko turned and nodded to him stating that he could go. After his door closed the Fire Lord collapsed to the floor trying to think of what to do.

Toph was destroying things in her bedroom when there was a knock on the door. She quickly turned and stared in the direction of the worried vibrations on the other side of the heavy door. The earthbender fixed her hair as best she could and made her way to the door slowly. Turning the door knob she took a deep breath to calm herself. She opened the door and lowered her head.
?Toph what is wrong?? Iroh asked her softly making his way into the room. As soon as the door closed Toph collapsed onto the floor sobbing which was a particularly hard thing for her to do. The blind bandit never cries. Iroh brought over two cushions and sat down beside her on the floor. ?What has happened??
?I went to breakfast with Lord Zuko this morning.? She mumbled in-between sobs. Iroh didn?t need to hear more he had a feeling he knew what had happened. The old man reached over and took the small girl into his arms. ?I love him Uncle? I just don?t know if I can stay here anymore?? Iroh patted her head softly and rubbed her back.
?I know my words do not mean much at times like these, but you have always been the daughter I never had. Since the day I met you I always knew you were strong. You reminded me so much of Zuko for the longest time. You have matured though. You have become a very beautiful and understanding woman, and still so very strong. Zuko will warm up to you eventually. I have faith in my nephew. Give him another chance Toph.? Iroh held her as she cried. ?I should not have left for tea this morning?? he thought and felt the girl lift her head and she wiped her eyes.
?You don?t understand Uncle. Sparky could never love someone like me. He wants and needs someone like Knives in order to be happy? I?m just not that girl. I?ve went to the land of fairy tales and come out changed. I can?t love him?Not anymore.? She stood up determined and went over to her bed. ?I need to sleep? My head hurts? Thank you Uncle Iroh.?
?You?re welcome. I?ll go pack. I think we need to get back to the shop.?
?I agree.?
?Sleep well.?
****
Zuko had heard everything he stood outside Tophs room and his stomach turned at her words. He watched as his Uncle came out of the girls room shaking his head. Iroh put a hand up to silence the boy and then motioned for him to follow the man back to his chambers.
?Zuko what did you do?? Iroh asked when they were far enough away from Toph?s room. The Fire Lord sighed and ran a hand through his hair.
?I kissed her Uncle.? Iroh turned and looked at him confused. ?She had reminded me so much of Mai that I kissed her, and I think I was trying to have my way with her when she said in not so many words that she loved me? I told her that I loved her too?? Iroh knit his eyebrows together in thought. ?But I called her Mai after that and now she?s leaving me. Uncle I don?t want her to go.?
?Perhaps it is best right now that she does. You both need to be away from each other for the time being. She needs to think and so do you nephew.? Iroh said as they entered the older mans room to have tea.
?But Uncle I need her.?
?No you need to think of what you want and what you really need and if Toph fits into that picture so be it.? He sighed and started making the tea. ? There is something you need to know. Love is Blind Fire Lord Zuko. For as you know hearts can not see. That is something you need to think on while Toph and I are away at the Jasmine Dragon.? Zuko nodded and lowered his head toward his chest. ?It?s been such a long day and it?s not even lunch yet.? he thought and rubbed his temples. ?She and I will leave tonight. I will ask the Avatar to escort us back to Ba Sing Se on Appa. Please think on what I have said nephew.? The Fire Lord nodded again.
?I hate to see you both leave.?
?Hopefully we will be back soon. Perhaps I could write you and you can come visit the shop?? He handed the young man a cup of hot tea and down with his own cup of tea.
?That would be nice Uncle.?
