Modern Au

Sometimes, destiny has a weird way of sneaking up on you and changing your life forever. Kai and Jinora were completely different people, with completely different lives; but somehow, they were made to be with each other, each to complete the other, and to fill the void in the others heart. But, as in every love story, no one is ever perfect... and thats what makes it great.

Kai's past had not exactly been... ideal. His mother and father were killed in a car accident when he was 5. Ever since then, he'd been in the foster system. Somehow every time he felt like he was home with his foster family, he was moved to a group home or a new family. There came a point where Kai had just given up, until he turned 18, this would be his life, just being passed along... unwanted.

Jinora's life was quite different. She was the oldest of four children, she had a mom and dad that loved her. She was an exemplary student, was extremely talented at karate, but it seemed to her as her whole life was already written. Everyone expected she would grow up to be the president or something, but she wasn't sure she was happy.

One fateful day, their lives would be changed forever in ways they had never imagined. Jinora was walking home from school, like she did every day. Her father had finally let her do so, when she proved to him that she could protect herself.

Kai tried his best to stay out of trouble. He knew that if he did, he could make a better life for himself. However, sometimes he found himself hanging out with the wrong crowd, at the wrong time. And today was one of those days. His Friends, Jake and Sam, always found their way into trouble no matter what.

Jinora headed down the empty streets, music in her ears. She thought today would be just an ordinary day. Suddenly, a shady looking boy whistled to her, catching her attention.

"Sam, don't mess with random people." Kai whispered to his friend.

"Its OK dude, besides, she's pretty."

Jinora took her headphones out and looked around, until she faced the three boys. She only chose to put her music back on and continue walking.

"See that IPod she's got there, in about a minute, it'll be mine." Sam said to Kai and Jake. Sam then walked towards Jinora and put a hand on her shoulder.

"Don't you dare touch me!" She stood tall and got herself into a martial arts stance.

"Relax princess, me and my friends here only noticed what a nice iPod you got there."

"I told you, back off!" She shouted at him.

"Now hand it over and we won't have any trouble." Sam smirked.

"Sam stop!" Kai shouted, getting Jinora's attention.

"I told the girl if she doesn't want any trouble, she'll hand over the iPod."

"And you won't get any trouble as long as you back off!" Kai walked towards him.

"Seriously-." Sam started.

WHAM!

Jinora landed a kick right in his face, causing him to run off, grabbing Jake and hitting the streets. Kai then walked towards her to make sure she was okay.

"Hey are you okay?" He asked, helping her pick up her things.

"I'm fine, I can hold my own." She said, trying to avoid eye contact with the street boy.

"I know, that was really awesome actually." He said, causing her to blush. there was something about her, something he couldn't ignore. She had a strong but gentle air to her.

"Thank you though, for standing up for me." she smiled at him, almost taken back by the brightness of his eyes.

"Your welcome, and for the record I could have done that."

"You could do karate?"

"Hey I know karate, Tai Kwon Do, and like three other Japanese words." He said, causing Jinora to erupt in laughter.

"Haha, I'm sure you do. I have to go now."

"Wait, I don't even now your name?"

"I'm Jinora." her name rang in his ears, he knew he would never forget it.

"I''m Kai. See ya around?"

"Yeah. I'm sure of it." Both of them walked away, blushing furiously, not sure what had just happened. But they both knew that they would see each other again.

So? How I adore Kainora. I love the idea of exploring their lives in our world. Next chapter we will definitely have some new character appearances.
