Okay guys, you asked for it, here you go! I'm not really that happy with the ending, but ah well This one's dedicated to frozenwind~! for giving me such awesome inspiration the other day. ;D
Btw, it's un-beta'd for now but once I do i'll edit it.
set 4: dance
Katara took all of her belongings into the ship, getting ready for the long journey ahead of her. Her brother Sokka was finishing up loading a few stocks here and there, which were supplies that was given to them by the new Fire Lord, Zuko. It's been a long time since the two water tribe siblings saw their home, and even though they should've been excited to see it again, they couldn't help but wonder what will become of their friends. Toph already left a couple of days ago back to Gaoling to her parents, and only Aang was left behind in the Fire Nation to prepare for a peace treaty.
"Katara, are you alright?" Sokka asked her, watching his baby sister look out into the horizon with a sad expression on her face.
She sighed, and then turned back to her older brother. "I'm alright Sokka." Wrapping her arms around herself, she continued to glance back to the horizon. "It's just that, it's been so long since we've been home and..."
"It's about Aang, isn't it?"
Katara nodded, "Once we leave back to the South Pole, who knows how long it'll be until we're able to see each other again."
Sokka placed a comforting hand on her shoulder, supporting her like a big brother should in his sister's time of need. "I'm sure we'll be able to see him again sooner than you think, Katara. Just don't think about it, and the time will pass faster."
"I hope you're right..."
*******************************
"So, you're leaving tomorrow in the morning then?"
She nodded. "It'll take a while to get to the South Pole, but I'm sure we'll be fine."
Aang didn't say a word, he just stood there and took in all that Katara had just told him. She was going to leave to go back to the South Pole to help with the rebuilding of her tribe, and possibly wouldn't be back for a long time.
He wished it didn't hurt as much to know that she was leaving and that he probably wouldn't be able to see her for a long time.
"I'll...miss you." He finally said, breaking the silence between the two.
"I'll miss you too, Aang." She told him breathlessly, before approaching him and embracing him in a tight hug. "I'll think of you everyday, and I hope to see you again someday soon."
Aang hugged her back, holding on tight as if hoping she'd never leave his side if he just held on to her tightly. "I'll think of you every second, every minute, every day of my life until I get to see you and hold you in my arms again, Katara."
She smiled, and then gave him a chaste kiss on the cheek before turning around to leave.
He quickly reached out to hold her hand, beckoning her to stop and turn back around. When she did, he quickly approached her and gave her a fast kiss on the lips.
"I love you!"
"Aang..."
"I-I love you more than anything! I've always loved you Katara. Ever since I first met you when you freed me from the iceberg, I knew right then and there that you were the girl I wanted to be with." He took her hand, and held on to it tightly. "I know you can't stay here with me, and it'd be really selfish of me to say so, but I can't help but feel like telling you to stay."
"A-Aang, listen to me..."
"It's okay if you don't feel the same for me, because as long as you're happy then I'm happy..." he choked back a few words he wanted to say, but decided against it incase he jinxed himself somehow.
It didn't seem like he was going to listen to her no matter what she said, so she decided to get his attention in the only possible way she knew she could. She grabbed Aang by the collar of his robes, and kissed him.
He kissed back, moving his lips against hers, until he felt he was flying across the skies on Appa again. When they broke apart, she smiled, giving him another kiss on the cheek.
"I love you." She whispered, giving him another embrace. "I realized I loved you when I saw you fall after Azula struck you with lightning. I felt sad, upset, angry and hurt. I was afraid of losing you forever, and I almost did that day. That's when I knew that what I felt for you was stronger than anything I've ever felt."
"I'll never leave your side Katara," Aang whispered, burying his face in her shoulder. "Even if we're parted for as long as time can try to keep us apart, I'll always be there by your side."
"Promise me you'll never forget about me, Aang."
"I promise."
***************************
Many years have past since the last time Katara saw Aang. When she arrived home, she thought the rebuilding of her tribe would keep her busy enough for time to pass by faster. To her dismay, it didn't. The hours felt longer than ever, and the days dragged on for what seemed like months on end. The years were worst, because they've felt like an eternity.
The Southern Water Tribe was now established back to its original state before the Fire Nation attacks a few years ago. There were buildings, bridges, and many other architectural feats.
Everyone around her was happy to be alive, and to be free from the Fire Nation's rule and terror. They welcomed Sokka and Katara as heroes, along with their father and the other brave water tribe soldiers who bravely fought for their nation.
Katara couldn't help but feel happy and upset at the same time. She was happy to be back home, and to see her people finally happy and at peace. She felt upset because she wonders how long she'll have to feel incomplete without Aang by her side. She's never been apart from him for this long, and during the times she was seperated from him, she felt lost without him.
She still thinks about him everyday, and wonders what he's doing now. She's heard rumors of the peace treaties and conferences going around all over the world. Sometimes she wishes to the spirits to see him again, because she's not sure when he'll be able to see her.
It's times like that when she feels the most selfish. The Avatar belongs to the world, and not to one person. When she feels guilty for feeling selfish, she reminds herself that she doesn't want to belong to the Avatar, but to Aang.
Whenever she's alone, she sits by the middle of the bridge and watches the clouds dance across the sky. She remembers days spent in training, fighting, running, and being around one another. She misses her friends, her old life, and the adventures they've all shared long ago.
Most of all, she misses feeling alive soaring through the skies and sitting beside the legend who captured her heart, in this life and for as long as her spirit exists.

KrystalFruit22: Thank you! I have a tendency of writing bittersweet Kataang-fluff. zukoxme: This isn't the ending, if that's what you thought. these are just drabbles that somehow find a time-line of its own along the way. The next chapter deals with meeting up with one another, and then the next chapters will be just the two of them hanging around, having fun, etcetc. It was originally supposed to be: Aang/Katara = Yin/Yang and now it's all Aang/Katara = Epic Romance That Spans Throughout Years of Seperation. Thank you though~!
