Reconcile II (hiatus)

REPUBLIC CITY

The saliva and spit that was dripping down Korra's face made the girl startled and wake up. She was welcomed by Naga who was continuously licking her.

She patted her polar bear dog. "Naga! I've missed you so much girl."

After she had a little time playing with Naga, she realised something. "Wait a minute.. how did you find me?"

"Took her for a stroll... she sniffed you right out of me."

"Mako?!" Korra exclaimed. "What are you doing inside my house?"

"Um.. it wasn't my intention to come here I promise. I was walking Naga around and then all of a sudden she ran here!" reasoned Mako.

Korra squinted her eyes suspiciously. "Right... so you came all the way from the island to here with Naga."

"No." said Mako. "Asami looks after Naga at her mansion. I just took her for a walk since Asami has somewhere to be. Her homes not that far from here you know."

That made Korra jump up. "How long a walking distance from here to her home?"

"Six minutes? I don't know but it didn't take me that long to get here." shrugged Mako.

And with that information, Korra headed straight for the door. She was already sprinting across the street within a couple of seconds.

"Excuse me." she called out passenger. "Where is the Sato mansion?"

"Keep going straight and then turn, it's the biggest house in the block." said the guy.

Korra bowed to show her gratitude before she continued to run. "Thank you."

Following the directions of the guy, it took her to a completely different area then described. The road was dirty and deserted. The homes were rusty with graffiti all over them. No mansions could be seen.

From the moment she saw shady-looking men walking out of those abandoned homes, she knew it was a trap.

A guy who presumably looked like the leader out of them, started to make his way to Korra. "Well if it isn't Miss Avatar. Finally decided to come out of hiding didn't you?"

Korra glared at him. "What if I did?"

"Look, I don't like you at all. I personally think there should be a new avat-"

Korra had shut him up as she threw a boulder of rock at his head. "And I didn't remember asking."

"Get her!" yelled the man on the ground.

A couple of his so called men started to chase after Korra. It wasn't everyday were she would be chased by benders so she decided to have a little fun with the moment.

Using her air bending as an advantage, she leaped from roof to roof. The men managed to track her down but at a rather slower pace. So whilst Korra was jumping from different roofs, they were struggling to jump from even one.

The men who were after her suddenly stopped due to fatigue and the fact that Korra had lead them rona place which was open and packed.

When Korra looked closer, she saw that there was some sort of ceremony going on for someone. A massive crowd of people were watching someone at the front. Sadly, she couldn't see who.

Since she had nothing better to do, she plopped herself at the edge of a roof. Her feet dangled of the building. Her eyes though, were locked on the person at the front.

She had a gut feeling that it was someone she knew.

The crowd had shut up after a while. A familiar figure stood on the high ground, and spoke into the microphone.

"It is is an honour to be here today. As the president, I will be..."

Korra opened her eyes widely. She was surprised to hear that Zhu Li was the new president. At the same time, she had an inner rush of joy that Raiko was finally out of the office.

"Everyone please welcome Miss Asami Sato!"

It must've been the name that had snapped Korra out of her deep thoughts. She darted her eyes directly at the stage where Zhu Li previously stood.

After all this time, Korra finally got a glimpse of Asami. She hadn't changed much, apart from the fact that her hairstyle was different and so was her clothing. A simple red v-neck sweater with a tight black skirt and open hair was the fit.

"Asami.." Korra muttered to herself.

The heiress was reading out a speech, but Korra wasn't listening. She was still in awe after seeing Asami. The feelings which she thought were sighed deep in her heart, were slowly starting to return.

When Asami suddenly stopped reading, Korra got confused. The shocked expression on the heiresses face gave it all away.

She had seen Korra.

Asami obviously didn't expect Korra because her reaction was priceless. She showed the most surprised look ever, and even messed up her lines.

Korra, who wasn't thinking, decided to take advantage of the moment. She purposely started to flirt with Asami, by blowing kisses at her and winking etc.

"Do you have anything to say about this Avatar Korra?" asked Asami.

Korra didn't expect that Asami would call her out like that. She didn't know what to do or what to say that at that moment and started to panic. It made it even worse when people started to look at her. All different types of reactions were heard. Some were shocked, others spat out spiteful words and others were glad that she was back.

Her body started to move on its own, as quickly escaped that area. The fear she had felt at that moment made her feel that she had to run away.

It didn't take long for her to find her little home. She immediately went inside and locked the doors.

Sliding her back against the wooden wall, she threw her head in between her knees. "What have I done... Asami was probably angry at me. Imagine I made her mess up an important speech." Korra whimpered to herself.

She had spent a solid twenty minutes beating herself up. It made her realise that maybe it was too early for her to come back.
