  Ever since Katara was five, Ryuu would take her to the bar with him because he thinks she would run off. Since kids can't be at the bar, Katara had to stay outside and wait for him. For hours, Katara had to put up with the cold bitter night just to wait. And he would never come out till three in the morning. While she waits she was afraid that a monster would come out of the shadows and gobble her up (since she is six). She would usually hear the drunk men talk about the women and the money,  which are a few things that she trys to ignore. Since she's out at night, there weren't any people out so she was lonely. She would talk to herself, but it was boring. Until,  one night,  one of the bartenders noticed her outside and went to go talk to her. He was a 26 year old man with brown hair and light skin. His name was Shigeo.
"Hey, little girl, why are you outside?  Are you lost?" he asked with a concern face. Young Katara shook her head.  "No, I'm waiting for daddy."
Shigeo was confused"Well where is your daddy? " Katara pointed to the bar. Shigeo started to understand. "Why didn't he leave you with your mother or relatives?" he sked once again. "I only have daddy......." Katara answered. Shigeo felt sorry for her. He asked, "Does he come here every night?" Katara nodded.  "O.k. how about this, I always work her, so how about I talk to you every night to keep you company.  Is that alright?" Katara looked up to see his face, looks at him in the eye and said, "O.k.!" And it happened.  Every night they would talk about what they did during the day and Shigeo would tell her great stories that his grandmother used to tell him. One of those stories that Katara liked, and will always like, were the story of people's soul gping to heaven and shine as stars. The souls, Shigeo would always say, go yo heaven and could be shown at night. That is why there are do many stars in the sky. Katara wanted to up there with the stars,  but Shigeo told her that she was not ready yet. She never knew what he meant.  Until one night, one of the men got angry at Shigeo for no reason and started to threaten him with his empty bottle. The other bartenders tried to calm the man down but he was too drunk to hear him. Katara went inside to see what was going on. The man got furious and stared to get to Shigeo and hit him with his bottle. Countless times, the man stabbed Shigeo with his broken bottle as the blood start to flow across the floor. Katara was shocked and eventually cried. He was the only friend she ever had and now he was gone in front of her eyes. She eventually got over it and started to move on with her life. She never noticed that one extra star was in the sky that night...........
Hey guys so I decided to write short stories that had to do with Katara's friends in the past. She had 12 in all. Some died,  some left. So I hope I don't break your little heart ; A ;.
