The legend of Korra: The Sansar Returns

Chapter 7 part: III

Aya and Wan rushed towards the entrance. Over in the distance, there was a female spirit rushing towards the oasis. As the spirit was running she tripped over her long skirt and face planted on the ground. Behind her were the huntsmen from before. 

"You've got no where to run spirit." said the head huntsman, as a ball of flame puffs in his palms. But as he was about to shoot, Aya leaped in the air manipulating a stream of water and whipped the huntsmen away, giving her enough time to take the spirit and carry her to a safer distance. The head huntsman sends a large fire ball after them, until Wan step forward and redirects the fire ball and throws it to the ground near the hunters, making them fall over. They stand up and run away.

Just then, Kazuya runs towards them, "What's going on?" she then looks at the spirit Aya was holding and gasped in disbelief, "Sister?"

"Wait, you know her?" Wan asked.

"This is my sister, Akari." Kazuya answered, as she rushes towards her sister, "Are you okay? Are you hurt?" 

"Only a few scrapes and scratches but I'm alright." 

"Nonsense, come." Kazuya said, putting Akari's arm around her neck and carried her to the oasis, "So what are you doing here?" 

"Yeah, what are you doing here?" Aya asked raising an eyebrow and folding her arms in suspicion. 

"I came to see you and Kazuya." Akari answered.

"Mother banished you remember." Aya responded folding her arms.

"It was only a minor offense." 

"Killing two innocent humans isn't a minor offense." Aya added.

Akari sighed, "You're right. But I have atone for my transgressions and made amends for what I've done. I even spoke to mother and she said that I'm allowed to come back to the oasis."

Aya's brows furrowed in confusion to Akari's explanation. Raava had no tolerance for spirits who cause harm against humans. And to forgive Akari so quickly isn't who Raava is. Something is off, very off.

"So I hear you're going out to see the Lion Turtles." Akari said to Wan once Akari was better. 

"Yeah, we were planning to go sometime soon." Wan answered.

"Let us come with you!" Kazuya chirped.

"What? Why?" Aya asked turning to her.

"Come on Aya, I've always wanted to see the world." Kazuya replied.

"Yeah, but....who will watch over the oasis?" 

"Aye-Aye can watch over it. You'll know he'll do anything to keep pesky humans away." Kazuya answered. 

"Good point." Aya muttered, cupping her chin. Even though she hated her response. 

"Speaking of humans. I'm surprised you let him stay here." Akari teleporting behind Wan, causing him to blush.

"That's because, Wan was kicked out of his Lion Turtle and had no other place to stay." Aya answered stepping infront of Wan. 

"You know so much about this.... Wan." Akari eyes him then back at Aya, "Do you like him or something?" 

Wan and Aya blushed glancing at each other, "What? No I don't." Aya replied.

"Yeah, I mean, we're just.....um....uh."

"Friends..." Aya suggested, then realized that was a very strong word. 

"W-What she means is that we're just....people who reside in the same space." Wan answered finishing off with an awkward smile. Aya glared at him, Wan replied by giving a nervous smile.
