The legend of Korra: The Sansar Returns

Chapter 15

I quickly went outside of the room and headed towards the meditation pavilion. Thought filled my mind but the words boomed in my head. Suddenly, I heard footsteps.

"Yukari!"

I turned my head slightly, seeing Tenzin followed by Yuuto, "Go away!" I snapped angrily.

"I know this is a lot to process." Tenzin said.

"You think?" I asked, "You told me that my parents died during a robbery. So you lied to me? "

Tenzin looked away in compunction, "I know that your upset, and you have every right to feel this way. But you have to understand--"

"Understand what? What's there to understand?"

"Enough!" Yuuto shouted and interceding between both of us, "If you want to know what happened, I'll tell you."

Zenji's POV

Later we were in the dinning hall. Korra chows down on food. Yukari however wasn't hungry as she sat there staring at my food.

"The food tastes amazing, Pema. I'm finally starting to feel like myself again." Korra said.

"We're so thankful you're home safe. Honey is everything okay? You haven't even touched your food." Pema asked picking up Korra plate while Asami assists her.

"You're probably wondering what happened when you were younger." Yuuto spoke up. Yukari glances at him. He sighed and spoke, "You were just a few days old when this happened. We were heading back to our flat since we were heading back to the Fire Nation the next morning when we were ambushed by the Equalists. Back then they didn't had a name, so it was a bunch of nonbenders who could chi-block. I did all I could to fend them off, and I told your mother to take you somewhere safe."

"It was the middle of the night, and that was when Pema and I were newly weds. Your mother knocked on my doorstep and pleaded with me to take care of you. She didn't specify why, but she insisted." Tenzin continued.

"So you weren't the one who killed my mother and sister." I spoke up coming to the realization.

Yuuto shook his head, "Amon lied, and twisted my upbringing story for sympathy. As I lied there, almost to the brink of death. Amon proposed that he could call off the ambush if your mother and I renounce bending and join him. I told him I would rather burn myself alive than to follow him. And....that when....he.."

I placed my hand on his shoulder, "I understand. You did all you could to protect me." Yuuto's eyes widen as tears flowed down his face followed by him sobbing heavily. I consoled him as I too felt emotional. I never cried so hard before just then I felt a hand embraced both him and I. It was Yukari, or should I say my long lost sister. Everyone in the room was touched by this.

Yukari's POV

Once we let go of our embrace Tenzin spoke up, "Korra, I realize you've been through a lot, but I need to know everything that happened."

"Well, first off, Tarrlok isn't who he says he is. He's Yakone's son." Korra answered.

"I knew it." I muttered.

"It all makes sense now. That's how Tarrlok was able to blood bend us without a full moon." said Chief Beifong.

"But how did you escape? And where's Tarrlok?"

"Amon captured him, and took his bending." Korra stated.

"What?"

"Yeah, he showed up out of nowhere. He almost got me, too. But I have to ask how did you find me?" Korra asked me.
