(also there is a Naruto refernce here since I was told I should watch it XD)
blood was spilled across the Floor of the Fire Nation Palace, United Republic troops standing in victory. Izumi Laying on the floor, coughing up blood. Asami, Korra, Mako, and Bolin surrounded on all sides in the Fire Lord's chambers.
Raiko walks in. "You are very foolish, Avatar. You never know when to stay out of other peoples business. Now Surrender The Fire Lord over to my custody, and we will let you and your friends go free."
Korra's eyes widened then seared with anger. She turned to Asami and then to Izumi. She looked back at Raiko, glaring. "Never!" She yelled as she threw a fireball at Raiko.

1 Year Earlier...
Korra and Asami Stepped into the portal, And Asami was Amazed by the beauty of the spirit world. The sky filled with Oranges, Blues, Greens, and yellows.
"Korra, This place is beautiful!" She mused.
"Yes it is. But so are you." korra said, taking her hand."I know a place we can go to... But its far away. We can meet a friend of mine here."
"Who?" Asami had a look of question on her face. "I'm sure you know who it is. now C'mon, we've only got a few days before we go back."
They set off walking, Halfway through their walk to Korra's friend, Raava Budded in. "Korra." Korra turned around and then she realized it must have been Raava calling her.
"Raava? Is that you?"
Raava let out a small laugh. "Like I've never heard that question before." The spirit said sarcastically. Asami turned to look at Korra.
"Korra, Who is talking to you?" Asami asked.
"Its Raava, My Avatar Spirit."
"Wait, She can - Oh yeahhh... I forgot..." Raava Said.
The Couple Laughed at Raava's Mental mistake before Korra asked why Raava was calling for her.
"so why were you calling me? Normally you don't do that unless there's an emergency..." korra asked.
"No special Reason. After all you are the only avatar I've managed to hold a full conversation with since Wan passed." Raava said.
Korra nodded before turning to Asami.
"So you are The Spirit that Korra always talks about?" Asami asked.
"Yes. I am Raava"
Asami nods. "It is an honor to speak with you, great spirit"
"It's my pleasure to speak with the Avatar's Girlfriend." Raava said, Asami blushed.
"Alright You Two, you'll have more time to talk later. Now Raava, if you will leave me and asami to our vacation. please?" Korra said. "As you wish" Raava said.
Korra noded, then sat down, watching asami gaze around the spirit world.
"Enjoying the view, 'Sami?" Korra asked.
"Its beautiful." She replied.
"You gonna come sit with me?" Korra asks, patting the ground next to her.
Asami turns around and smiles then Walks towards Korra, sitting down next to her and leaning her head on Korra's shoulder.
"I love this... Us. I actually feel... Happy." Asami said.
"I do too. I-I love you Asami." Korra said, Drifting off and letting sleep capture both their eyes.
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
The next morning seemed to come quickly. Almost too quickly for Korra. Asami was up already, which was finished brushing her hair and walked over to korra, gently shaking her awake. After a few moments, korra woke up with a groan.
"Ugh... Morning already? Cant we sleep in? We're on vacation for Raava's sake."
Asami was about to say something when Raava interrupted her.
"Did someone call? I heard my name." The spirit said.
"No Raava, I didn't call for you." Korra replied.
"Aww okay... Oh and I have something to show you two, once you look presentable of course." Raava announced.
Korra and Asami exchanged a couple of amused looks. Korra got up and changed her clothes, washed up a little bit, and then had Asami brush her hair out. A few minutes later The couple heard Raava calling out to them.
"Korra are you ready?"
"For what?"
"My surprise"
"Yes Raava... Show me..."
Korra felt a rush of energy, and dropped to her knees. For a moment it felt like she was going to pass out, but when she looked up, she could see a bright figure. It was a girl with light skin, about 5'5, skinny all around, Dark blue hair with streaks of white running through her hair, Bright Blue eyes. In her mid section there was a tiny red and black diamond.
"Woah." Asami said, staring at Raava in amazement. She taps korra's shoulder trying to get her attention. Korra responds with a bit of a jolt. She looks at the figure before her and she has a loss of words. Raava finds amusement in the couples shocked stare.
"How are you able to do that Raava?" Korra asks.
"Well for starters, we are of course in the spirit world. And ever since we've defeated HIM-" she points to the dark colored diamond on her chest." I have become much stronger And have gained some new abilities that I have never had before. Not even with Wan."
"Ok first off, I like the sound of new abilities, But how you you remember Wan? I thought the other avatars were destroyed by Unavaatu?" Asami said with a confused look.
"They were. But that doesn't mean that I don't remember them. One more thing, They may no longer exist, but I still have their memories." Raava explained. "If I hadn't spoken with you before we were severed, I would not have those memories... Nor would you have your own. The only reason you are still alive after Zaheer's poisoning is because of your past live's memories."
Korra cringed at the word poison and thought back to that terrible day
*FLASHBACK*
"When I get out of here, none of you will survive!" korra yells.
"you won't get out, unless the metal clan taught you a way to bend platinum."
"You- You killed my father!" she blasts fire at Zaheer from her mouth, Missing by Zaheer by a few feet.
"I feel your pain, I also lost someone I loved today. But your pain will soon be over. Bring the poison." Zaheer said as 2 men in dark robes moved up with a bowl of the poison.
"once we administer the poison, your body will naturally react, forcing you in the avatar state in an effort to keep you alive, but sadly for you, you will be entering it for the last time."
"No! The avatar cycle!" korra sputtered.
"yes, when we dispatch you into the avatar state, the cycle will end. So we lucky few, this band of brothers and sisters in anarchy, are going to witness the beginning of a new era of true freedom. Together, we will forge a world without kings or queens, without borders or nations, where a mans allegiance is only to himself and those he loves. We will return to the true balance of natural order. And although you again will never be reborn, your name will echo throughout history. KORRA, THE LAST AVATAR!" There was a pause. " Administer the poison."
Seconds later the poison is in her system.
*END FLASHBACK *
Korra looks up after the flashback and turns to Raava. "I'm over that now. Its in the past. I'd like to leave it there."
"Both of us would" Asami said.
"very well, I can respect that. Well, back in I go... We had some place we need to be right?"
Korra nods. Raava's human form faded and then remerged with Korra. After korra regained her full consciousness, The couple walked hand in hand down a dirt path.
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
A few days later, and a lot of bathroom stops. The couple came upon a hut, small, but elegant. In the distance they saw a table surrounded by spirits, one of which was very familiar to korra. Korra immediately knew who it was. Iroh. She began running towards her friend, Dragging Asami behind her. As she approached the spirit, she slowed down until she eventually came to a stop, right next to Iroh. He was playing Pai Sho with another very familiar spirit, who looked up after moving his lotus piece.
"Stinky?" He asked "I-Is that you?"
Korra looked a little unnerved by the question but then she remembered this spirit from Wan's time.
"Aye-Aye?" korra replied, "Its been so long"
Iroh looked up from the table and then realized korra was standing over him.
"Why hello korra, its good to see you again. I see you've brought along a friend." He said looking at Asami as he spoke.
"Actually, I'm not just her friend Iroh. Korra is my girlfriend." Asami said
"Oh, I see. Well I am glad you two found each other. Love is a mysterious thing, but so is the spirit world. I've found so many things and have made so many friends. But enough of me, You seem like you are here for a certain reason." Iroh said, looking a bit quizzed.
"No actually, for once we are on vacation. And its been a great few days so far... And I guess we just decided that we are a couple" Korra said.
Asami nods and looks at the Pai Sho board, then at Iroh.
"Umm, Iroh, you know that your lotus piece is going to be taken right?"
"that's what you think." he said, moving one of his other pieces to capture
Aye-Aye's White lotus tile. The spirit looked at iroh in disbelief and then down at the board.
"Well played Dragon of the west." The spirit said. He then turns to korra and says "I'm very glad to see you again. You should come and see me again sometime. In this life- Iroh jumped in, Or the next"
This comment brought a single tear to Korra's eyes. "Thank you Aye-Aye it means a lot to know that there are spirits besides iroh and bumju that don't resent me." The spirit faded and iroh turns to korra. "So, any plans?"
The girls looked at each other and then back at iroh, shaking their heads.
"No, but we do not have much more time here. We have less than 2 days before we must be back. Were going to leave tomorrow morning." Korra says.
"I see. Well you should get some rest. You will have a long journey back. I have a room reserved for guests. You can stay there for the night. Or whenever you come to visit."
"Thanks Iroh. Its much appreciated." Asami replies while petting a puppy spirit.
With that, the couple walked into the guest house and jumped into bed.
"So that is Iroh. Lord Zuko's Uncle?"
"yes, he was also a great mentor to aang when he was the avatar. He was also credited with having the best tea shop in the earth kingdom." korra responds, while tossing her shirt on the ground.
After a few minutes, korra faces asami and leans in. Their lips met and the spirit world seemed to brighten up a little. They exchanged goodnights and drifted off into sleep.
When the next morning came around, the couple shared one last cup of tea with Iroh and began to head back.
"Goodbye Korra, come see us again sometime!" Iroh shouted as the couple faded from view.
Much walking over the next day put a strain on the couples legs. They couldn't stop if they wanted to make it back in time. They encountered many more spirits on the way back, and they were complimented on their appearances.. Well more asami than korra... But the point was both looked nice.
They finally reached the portal that led back to republic city. Neither one of them wanted to leave the spirit world. Asami turned towards Korra and said, "No matter what the others think of us, I will love you through it." With that, the new couple turned and walked through the portal, still holding hands.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Blinding flashes of light greeted the couple back into the physical world. The press, Tenzin and Jinora were anxious to greet the avatar and her friend, but they were shocked by the sight of Korra's hand In Asami's. The press cameras kept flashing constantly until korra had enough and metalbent them into the portal behind them. The couple pushed through the crowd and hopped on Oogi along with Tenzin and Jinora. On their way back to Air temple island, Jinora stared at the couple. After a long akward silence, jinora blurted out, "So when were you gonna tell us?" Tenzin quickly tuned out the conversation, simply because it was not his business. Korra and Asami's face turned bright red. "Well uh.. We-"
"We were going to tell you guys tomorrow but seeing as how we didn't expect so many people to greet us back." Asami replied.
Korra seemed a bit taken aback by Asami's quick response and thought to herself,"How is she so confident about this? Am I NOT her first girlfriend?"
Minutes later, Oogi landed on the island where Mako and Bolin were waiting. Mako was less than pleased when he saw the couple come down from Oogi, Bolin rushed over to His long time friends and bear hugged them. Mako walked up and stood with his arms crossed.
"So this is what I get to come back to. Did you two ever think that I wouldn't care if you two are tog-"
"ZIP IT MAKO!" Korra yelled. "You told the both of us that NO MATTER WHAT you wanted us to be happy! Did you not?"
Mako recoiled at this outburst,and tried to come back with something but he just turned around and walked away. Tenzin Walked up to Korra and said,
"Well you're still a bit hot headed.. I believe that you did well to remind him of his past words but you still need to tone down a bit. Oh by the way, your parents are inside, maybe you should tell them korra."
Korra looked nervous and Asami could understand why. She had gone through this conversation before, with her first girlfriend, Sakura. Asami convinced her father to be able to accept that she was more into girls than guys. Asami stopped Korra and pulled her to the side.
"Korra, are you nervous? And don't lie." she asked. A long pause ensued. Korra then turns away and says, "honestly, I'm not sure how I'm going to tell them. I've never had to explain something like this to them before. I know I don't have to ask, but can you help me?"
Asami expected this answer. She knew it was coming, so all she could say was. "Yes dear. All the help you need."
"Thank you" korra said, letting out a sigh.
"All you gotta do is follow my lead. Got it?" Asami winked. Korra nodded in response.
As they walked into the Mini Temple, Opal Was first to greet them.
"Hey where have you too love birds been?" Opal said.
"WHAT?!" the couple yelled.
"How did-"
"Bolin... He's not stopped talking about it since he got back here. Spirits know I love him to pieces but he should have let you two tell us." Opal explained.
"So we don't have to tell my parents?" Korra asked.
"I doubt it, but you will have to go in there and make yourself known." Opal said.
"ok"
The couple walks into the room and korra's hand clutches Asami's. The door opens and Senna and Tonraq look in their direction. There was a moment of silence and then Senna spoke up.
"Glad you came by. Care to tell us about your adventures?"
