I'm having writers block but somehow over a four day period I pulled this out of my hat. Reviews help, maybe the next chapter will come easier if I get some reviews.
Disclaimer: I do not own The Legend of Korra.
A tiny, yet annoying headache drums inside my head and eventually causes me to wake from my restful sleep. I survey my room and notice my arm around a girl whose face I can't put a name to. I reflect on the previous night and try to make sense of the big blur. Suddenly it all hits me; a smirk plays on my lips as I remember last night. I examine the girl trying to remember her name, but I'm not good with names and frankly I don't really care. Besides she has served her purpose and I probably will never talk to her again. I notice the time and realize that I need to be going to practice soon. I stir in my bed, waking the girl next to me.
"Tahno…" She whispers with her eyes still glued shut. I stop moving and smirk. Her green eyes flutter open and she gazes at me intently. I lean over her, pushing her brown hair out of the way, I start to kiss her neck. She moans lightly at my every touch and I too even moan into the skin on her neck. I trail kisses up her neck slowly with my waved hair skimming her skin. My lips reach her ear and I gently nibble on it then I place my lips extremely close to her ear.
"Shouldn't you be leaving?" I whisper quietly. I pull my head away and stare at her green eyes. She looks caught between desire and annoyance. Without a word she crawls underneath my arm and climbs out of my sheets. I scroll my eyes over her body once more as she dresses herself. Once she is finished she turns and looks at me, still lying in the bed.
"Can you give me a ride home?" She asks sweetly with her hands on her hips. But I know from last night that she is not sweet or innocent. I prop my head up with my arm and just stare at her for probably the last time.
"It's not that far of a walk." I say in my monotone voice. The girl shows a look of defeat and sighs. She grabs her tote and slings it over one shoulder angrily. She walks out of my room and I watch her strut down the hall and reach the front door to my apartment. She looks back to my room with irritated green eyes then lets herself out. I smirk to myself. I love having control. I slowly make my way out of bed and enter the washroom. I prepare myself for the day by showering, styling my black hair, and applying my eyeliner. I know I'm going to be late for the Wolfbat's practice, but I'm the captain and Shaozu and Ming won't argue with me. I grab my keys and head out the door, locking it behind me. I climb in my shiny black Satomobile and start it up. I pull out of my parking space and make my way onto the road. Everything seems like a normal day, people going out for lunch, pedestrians walking around enjoying the weather; everything is how it always is at noon in Republic City. But to my surprise this isn't a normal day, a flash of white runs past me and dashes down the road. I slam on breaks startled by the appearance of such a large animal. What is that? Is that a polar bear dog? I watch the giant white beast run down the street causing Satomoblies to swerve off the road left and right. I stare at the beast as it runs down the city street. Is that someone on its back? It looks like a girl, one with tan skin, dark brown hair and a watertribe getup. I lean over the steering wheel staring at the sight before me. The polar bear dog and its rider turn a corner and finally exit my vision. I lean back into my seat. Did that just happen? I shake my head and sit there for a moment collecting myself, the headache is back. Finally I pull back out onto the road and continue my commute to the arena. I arrive at the large golden building and park in a spot that is only meant for me. I step out of my Satomobile, lock it, and then shove my keys into my pocket. I amble up the front steps to the arena with my hands still in my pockets.
"Hey Tahnooo-oh." A man at the door tries to greet me but I just walk past him silently. I make my way through the back halls of the arena until I reach the locker room. I change into my training uniform leisurely. I take off my normal attire and slip on a long sleeved blue shirt and sweatpants, and then I cover them in the armor like suit. I walk into the gym, tightening the athletic tape around my hand. Without looking up I can hear my teammates already practicing. Ming sends earth disks flying as Shaozu set flames to a few targets he set up for himself.
"Hey where you've been?" Ming asks. He doesn't dare show frustration, he merely asks it out of curiosity.
"I had company." I admit as I finish adjusting the tape around my hands. I decide not to mention the polar bear dog; it was probably just some lunatic that will no doubly be caught by the police. "Everyone warmed up?" I inquire. My teammates simply nod as an answer. "Great, let's get started." We form ourselves into a triangle and start to bend at each other. Unlike other teams that I've watched practice, we use the whole gym when we spar. Rather than just blocking the element thrown at us we train ourselves to dodge and strike. We run all around the gym throwing our elements at one another, flipping off the walls and performing complicated tricks. This is my favorite thing in the world, bending. It's the best sensation ever to have this kind of power running through your veins. Pro-bending is my world. Practice time is my sanctuary, where I forget about everything. But unfortunately practice always seems to go by much to quickly and soon the next team is coming in from the locker room, the Tigerdillos. They glare us down as we continue to train, even though it is no longer our time slot.
"Hey Wolfbats…your time is up." The Tigerdillo captain announces. I pause my water whip motion and redirect it at the Tigerdillos. The whip snaps at them inches from their faces, but returns to me and I stream it back into the tub of water.
"Were not finished, so how about you and your little loser squat just sit and watch how it's done." I mock, taking a step towards them. The Tigerdillos stare at me in shock. The earthbender on the team steps up and stands face to face with me.
"I'm gonna make you eat those words!" He yells in my face. I stand unmoving with my eyes locked on the earthbender. Does he really think he can intimidate me?
"Do it." I taunt. The earthbender lifts up a fist to punch me. I don't care if he punches me, Butaka will take him out of a few games if he does, and that would just be one less team we have to worry about. He is just about to strike when his teammates grab him and pull him away from me.
"Not here! We'll settle this in the ring!" The Tigerdillo captain yells, clearly aggravated. I smirk at the furious earthbender and motion for Ming and Shaozu to follow me back into the locker room. We walk past the Tigerdillos at a slow pace, while they watch us angrily.
"See you in the ring then, losers." I say over my shoulder before we reach the locker room. Ming and Shaozu laugh and tease about the looks on their faces once we enter the locker room.
"Hey Tahno, you wanna come with us to lunch?" Ming asks while taking his gear off.
"Who's buying?" I ask while removing my chest pad.
"I will." Shaozu volunteers reluctantly. I nod my head in agreement and start to change back into my normal clothes. In a matter of minutes we are all changed into our usual attire and we proceed to exit the arena. We step out the front doors and are greeted by a small crowd of fan girls. Once they notice us on the steps they all scream like they have seen a spirit.
"Look! It's Tahno!"
"Shaozu!"
"Ming! Oh my god! Tahno!" They are screaming all of our names at different times and it just sound like a mob. I see some girls clutching pictures of me, I sigh, I'm not really in the mood to sign anything. I saunter down the stairs with my teammates following. The girls get louder as we approach. I can feel the headache returning and I thrust my hands into my pockets. I penetrate the crowd of fan girls and they clear a thin path for me and my teammates. None of the girls have the courage to touch me they all just scream my name and ask for autographs.
"Tahno I love you!" One girl screams.
"Who doesn't?" I sneer. I try to ignore the rest of them and head in the direction on my Satomoblie. Once I reach it I salute with two fingers to Shaozu and Ming as they both climb in their own cars. They wave back and we all start our engines and head to the restaurant we agreed on. It's hard to get out of my parking spot when these insane fan girls are surrounding my Satomobile. I rev my engine loudly which seems to scare most of the girls into backing off. I pull out of the parking lot and drive down the street towards the restaurant. I park my car next to Shaozu and Ming at the corner where the restaurant sits. We meet up in the front and enter the building together. We are immediately seated in the corner of the joint and we sit and wait for our server.
"So who else won last night, Shao?" I ask Shaozu, who always watches every match to scope out the competition.
"The Badgermoles, Catgators, Hog Monkeys, and the Fire Ferrets." Shaozu announces.
"So nobody serious." I add. Suddenly our conversation is interrupted by three girls. They approach us shyly. When they finally do reach us only one of them speaks.
"Hey, I'm Siku, this is Ila and Akai." Siku greets while motioning to her friends. Ila and Akai wave from behind Siku. "We're really big fans of the Wolfbats and we were just wondering if we could sit with you guys…" Siku admits shyly. We do look a bit bare today; maybe we could use a few girls for a posse effect.
"Sit then." I order. The girl's faces light up but just as they're about to sit a crash is heard from the back of the restaurant. "What was that?" I turn in my chair and see people on the other side of the restaurant looking out the windows. I stand and walk out of the restaurant, curiosity getting the best of me. Nothing seems to have happened in the front but once I turn the corner I see a Satomobile crashed into the building next to us, a girl standing behind the damaged vehicle, and a polar bear dog. My eyes widen. It's the same girl. I hear the sirens of the police airship over head and I look up to see metalbender cops zipping down from the airship. The cops pull three guys out of the crashed Satomoblie and arrest them. I can see the tanned watertribe girl talking to a metalbender cop but I can't make out any words. The cop tries to tie her up with his ropes but she catches it in her hand. Before I know it the girl has jumped back on her polar bear dog and is running away with the metalbenders right on her tail. "Who the hell is this girl?"
Hope it's not too bad. When I have writers block I can't really tell a good story from a bad one. Reviews help, thanks for reading this chapter!
