Impulse'

Chapter 1: Loner

Summary:_

"even when I was in a crowd, I was always alone" Asami found herself wondering when it was that this loneliness would pass… if it would pass. It had already been 10 years you since…

Authors note: bear with me this is my first time witting this kind of story (see end of work for note)

Asami~

Asami sat at the far table in the corner on the school library, the one next to the window. When she wasn't scratching away at her sketch pad, working on new blueprint designs, she'd find herself looking out the at the crowd of students laughing, making what she could only assume was stupid jokes or even worse… lame pickup lines.

'what a joke. These people go around wearing masks, being fake. Huh... everybody lies'.

"earth to 'Sami, anyone home?" said a shorter girl sitting across from her. Asami looked up startled by the body that seemed to appear out of thin air.

"Spirits Opal. You scared the hell out of me" she said taking out her head phones. She was just about to continue when a figure appeared beside her and slammed a hand on the table.

"well hellooo ladies." Said the guy hovering over Asami. She suddenly rolled her eyes and tried her best to hide her utter disgust and boredom.

"Hey jet. What's up?" asami said.

"not much just wanting to know when you're planning to drop that stiff Mako, and get with a real man. A man like me." He smiled and she cringed. Just the idea of being with this muscle headed sleaze ball sent a chill down her spin.

Still she put on her best smile. "sorry jet but once again I am perfectly happy with my current situation. As fun as it sounds to jump ship on a good thing, and it sounds oh so tempting I'd rather eat a whole bag of fire- flacks in one sitting." She said not even attempting to hid her sarcasm. This had been the twentieth time at least that she told this to Jet. And just like all the other times it went in one ear and out the other. For the love of Ravaa what the hell.

"cool, cool. I hear you but really you know I'm the better choice so when you're ready to dump that stiff I'll be waiting." He winked at her before he turned on his heels and took his leave. Asami let out a breath of relief. But that relief didn't last too long.

With the annoyance gone and her ear buds out she could hear the whispers as clear as day. As if they were being told to her. It was enough to make her sink in her seat.

'fuck this is what I'm talking about.'

"hey 'Sami, how- "Opal was cut off buy the sound of her friend sliding out of her chair. Asami got up, through her bag over her shoulder and headed for the door.

There was really no reason for her to stay any longer than she had. Really the only reason she had was because she knew regard less she'd be going home that was 1 way to large and 2 it was way too quiet for her liking. Sure she had her butlers and maids as well as her machines but sometimes you just need… more.

'fuck'

there where a group of guys surrounding her locker and Asami really didn't want to put on an air of having a good time… she wanted to be hit on even less.

"geez Asami you could have waited" opal said waiting for a response. "why are you just standing here?" Asami nodded in the direction of her lockers. "wow again. Look who's popular" she said nudging Asami only half joking.

It didn't stop Asami from steering daggers at her best friend. "it's not funny Ope. It happens every day now…. I'm really so over it."

Opal frowned. "sorry." She said in a sincere voice. And Asami knew she meant it. The both looked back at the group of guys. "do you think they know you broke things off with Mako?"

Asami shook her head. "I don't see how they could. The only ones who know it, are you, me, Bolin, and Mako. And it's not like any of us would since we decided to fake going out as an excuse to keep things like… like this from happening."

Asami's voice held confusion everyone knew she was with Mako. Well in theory anyway. Regardless there is no reason for all those guys to gather by her locker almost every day unless it had gotten out… but as far as she could tell all the girls that had a thing for Mako still believed that lie.

"Hey. Why don't we go and kill some time watching the guys take on the girls' basketball team?" opal asked tugging on Asami's black leather jacket.

Asami let out a sigh as much as she didn't want to she really didn't have a choice, Mako wasn't here as her acting bodyguard. "fine whatever."

…

The two entered the gymnasium and sat in the second row of the bleachers… right behind the girls' team. Immediately she could hear a few girls that where behind her start talking about her. What was worse was they didn't even try to hide the fact.

"look that's her right?" the first one said.

"who? Oh you mean Tit-sami." The second one said. Wow that wasn't even clever.

"yeah. I know what you mean if she's going to be that stacked than she should at least have the curtesy of being dumb. Right?" Ravaa. Asami felt her entire body heat up. 'I swear I'm about to fire bend these Spirits.' Normally Asami managed to push her anger down.

"Mako totally deserves better than that two timing cheating hore who can't even decide on which brother she wants." The hell. 1 she does even see Bo in that way. They were just friends…. No more like family. 2 Bolin was Opals' boyfriend. Even if those rumors where true no on would be so low as to do that to a friend.

Asami thought to herself. I mean Spirits why should I care? Mako and I are together only in name. we dated a while back before we decided we were better suited as friends.

she looked up holding in her anger. She decided it was better to focused on the real reason she was here.

The whistle blew signaling substitution then half-time.

Asami found her gaze fall on a girl with features much like her own. Black hair, green eyes with a beauty mark under her right eye. It was her… her crush.

'Kuvira'

When her gaze met the young heiress. Asami felt her body stiffen. Oh Ravaa she was about to come over here.

Asamis' eyes shifted only to meet the gaze of another. A slightly shorter Carmel colored girl with the most piercing ocean blue eyes she'd ever seen. Her hair was pulled back into a wolf tail with a few strands falling on either side of her face. She was… she was… glaring at her?

Asami felt herself panic but never dropped her usual poker face. Had she done something to upset the girl? She didn't see how she could've. She didn't even know who she was.

'Damn it, drop eye contact already'

She felt a tug at her heart. What is this?

'well self-loathing at the moment'

"Sami!" Kuvira said rwapping one arm around her shoulders.

'not that she had the chance to enjoy that moment. Her eyes where still on the mysterious beauty that was still glaring at her.

'what the hell is her deal anyway?'

"Asami?" Kuvira asked.

"Ah sorry about that. Have a lot on my mind you know." Asami said finally breaking eye contact and turning her attention to Kuvira.

"Don't worry about it."

"anyway, who?" she nodded on the direction if the mysterious girl. Her question was followed by a withdrawal

"oh... uh… this is Korra." Kuvira said with hesitation.

"I see. Um. Can I ask why you're glaring at me?" Asami directed her question at Korra and waited for a response.

She hadn't realized it until just now but something in her was said that she should be careful around this girl.

'like the look of hunger that emanated from Korra wasn't enough of a warning.'

When Korras' stare intensified Asami took that opportunity to jump to her feet. "uh I just remembered I have something to do." She rushed and grabbed her bag ignoring the sketch book that fell to the ground.

She made her way out of the gymnasium up the stairs, through a pair of double doors and stood in front of her locker.

Asami exhaled. Only just now realizing she hadn't done so since she was in the gym. It was official she didn't like that girl

'oh really? Then why are you blushing'

'shut it'

Spirits she was arguing with herself and losing. Regardless it was probably best to stay away from her.

….

After closing her locker, she lowered her head and made to the parking lot.

When she did finally look up she saw a figure standing by her car. She approached with caution preparing to use what she'd learn in her self-defense lessons if need be.

The figure turned around and it was clear who it was.

'Korra'

She's… so… close. Asami thought. It took her a minute to realized Korra was saying something. "sorry come again?"

She shifted in her spot. "I said you have a thing for Kuvira."

Asami flew into a panic. How did she know. Was she that obvious?

'well kinda'

"I don't know-" before she could finish Korra cut her off with a smirk.

"No need to deny it. I already know it's true." Asami gulped down the lump in her throwt that prevented her from talking. Korras' smirk of confidence turned into a wide grin. "relax I won't tell her." She said.

"y-you won't?" Asami asked.

"No." Korra responded.

"why?" Asami stated again not even trying to hide her curiosity or surprise.

Kora laughed. "why would I it's not like it has anything to do with me."

"anyway what are you doing here?" Asami said.

"Right, right. You dropped this when you left the gym. I figured that there was less of a chance that I'd miss you if I'd come straight here." Korra dug in her bag and pulled out Asamis' sketch pad.

"H-how did you know which one was my car?" Asami asked taking up a defensive position once again. She watched as Korra thought about how to explain herself.

She shrugged before answering. "your sent."

'what is she an animal?'

"M-my sent?" Asami replied with confusion trying to hide her embarrassment.

Korra smiled "yeah sorry. My senses are a lot... stronger than most. Oh and before sorry if I gave you the wrong impression it's just that…" she stopped not sure whether or not to say more.

"just what?" Asami said.

Korra lowered her eyes. "you sent is… really strong… and uh, kind of made it hard to focus on the game."

"is it that bad?" Asami said before Korras' head shot you to meet Asamis' eyes.

"Spirits no. it's actually the opposite it's really warm and alluring. Kind of reminds you of spring you know. It has the scent of cherry blossoms." Korra went silent realizing she had said more than she meant to.

Asami felt her cheeks heat up and from the look on Korras' face she could tell she was blushing.

'Alluring she said your smell was alluring'

"a-anyway um. Yeah here's your book. Sorry I did kinda take a peek in it. It's really amazing." Kora said trying to both change the subject as well as keep herself from pouncing on the girl in front of her.

"uh, right thanks." Asami said taking the hint. As she reached to take back her sketch pad from kora, their hands brushed against each other and a surge of electricity passed from Korra's hand to Asami. It was clear that both of them had felt it. Kora let out a small growl under her breathe before quickly shoving her hands in her pockets… with it she shoved down the urge to take Asami and….
