Where am I? Asami raised her forearm to shield her eyes from the light. Through squinted eyes, she scanned her surroundings, trying to take in and make sense of everything, or at the very least, something. When she looked up, her emerald orbs met azure ones and before she knew it, she was pulled into a tight embrace.
What? Who is this girl and why is she hugging me? Asami found herself furrowing her brows in confusion. What the heck is going on?
"You're finally awake! Oh my spirits, wait here, I'm going to tell everyone about this, they'll be so glad! I'll be back!"
Before Asami could open her mouth to reply, the excited short haired girl was already running out of the room, stumbling a couple of times. The corners of Asami's lips lifted just a little at the sight of the clumsy girl. I don't know who she is, but she's cute.
Asami attempted to sit up and stretched her aching body. She sighed and rested her head in her hands, still trying to make sense of everything, but to no avail.
Asami only had a brief moment of peace before Korra returned to the room as promised, followed by a group of people, including a bald man with an arrow tattoo on his head. Korra made her way to Asami hastily and seated herself on the edge of her bed. She took Asami's hands into hers and flashed her signature grin, showing off her perfect pearly whites.
The bald man was the first to speak, "You were unconscious for a few days, how do you feel?"
"Yeah, you were out cold! Cold! I tell ya! Colder than the south pole!" Added Bolin who received a disapproving glare and soft nudge from Opal, who whispered, "This isn't the time for your dumb jokes!"
"Wait… who are you people?"
Everyone went silent and the relieved expressions on their faces were wiped off and replaced with puzzled ones.
"Y-you don't remember?" asked Korra softly, her head hanging low and words dripping with disappointment. Asami shook her head, looking at Korra, her eyes filled with emptiness.
"Well I am Korra, this is Tenzin, Pema, Lin, Opal, Bolin an-"
"There's no point, she probably has amnesia from that blow. She's not going to recognize any of us."
Asami looked around to match the face to the voice that interrupted Korra and saw a handsome young man with amber eyes making his way to towards her.
Asami's eyes widened at the sight of the familiar looking man.
"Mako!" Exclaimed Asami gleefully before pulling her hand away from Korra's tender grasp and rushed to Mako with open arms, pulling him close.
"I can't tell you how glad I am to see you" Asami said, before pulling away just enough to initiate a passionate kiss. Mako stood rooted to the ground, unsure of what he was supposed to do and looked just as confused as everyone else. Korra clenched her fists, telling herself repeatedly that Asami only did what she did because of her memory loss. Mako recovered from the shock upon seeing Korra's hurt expression in the background and quickly took a step back.
"D-do you not remember anything?" Mako placed his hands on Asami shoulders and waited for an answer.
"All I know for sure is that you're my boyfriend, Mako! Other than that… no, I don't remember anything."
That was the last straw for Korra. Her very own girlfriend didn't recognize her, but she recognized her ex boyfriend. The emotions that she had managed to hold back so long were demanding to be released. Korra ran out of the room as quickly as she could, hoping that no one noticed the tears that were starting to obstruct her vision.
Mako sighed, and dropped his gaze to the floor. This is bad. Well at least this is as bad as it can possibly get, it couldn't get any worse…right? Wrong. Just as he was thinking of a suitable solution for this troublesome problem, a shrill voice interrupted his train of thought.
"OH HELL NO. HE IS DEFINITELY NOT YOUR BOYFRIEND!" A fuming prince Wu walked up to the two of them and pulled Mako away from Asami protectively by his waist and stood in between them, acting as a barrier. If looks could kill, Asami would've been dead right there and then.
"But-" Asami began, but was interrupted by Tenzin, who was obviously tired of the youngsters' relationship problems and wanted to have nothing to do with it.
"Look, there is no point quarrelling. We should go to my mother. She will know what to do. It is settled then. Get ready, we will depart tonight. I will go check on Korra." Tenzin said before heading towards Air Temple Island's meditation pavilion, where he found Korra sitting on the floor cross-legged, cradling her head in her hands and sobbing uncontrollably. Tenzin placed a hand on her shoulder, hoping that the simple gesture provided the young avatar with some sort of comfort.
"We will be heading to the South pole tonight to see what my mother can do about Asami's memory loss. Don't worry, I'm sure that the amnesia is only temporary she loves you too much. She will remember you sooner or later."
"Y-you t-think so?" Korra managed to say in between sobs while looking up to meet Tenzin's gaze"
Tenzin gave a warm smile and helped Korra up. "No, I don't think so. I know it."
