Hey guys! I really hope that you like this story. It is my first fanfiction. I am going to try an get out a chapter every few days to a week! Any reviews or requests for my fanfics would be appreciated!
This is going to take place after Kai is first brought back to the Northern Air Temple.
As Kai stepped out of the airship, he looked at the Temple in awe. Look at all this old stuff. I bet it's worth a lot. He thought about all the possibilities. As his eyes were sweeping over the cracked,ancient, buildings, his bright green eyes stopped dead on a brunette that had to be about his age. He glanced over the classic airbending robes that she wore and thought back to the performance he had witnessed back in the city.
With his usual confidence, Kai walked over to the girl. "Hey, did you really mean that offer to help me with my airbending? Not that I really need it.." He shoved one hand into his jeans pocket and ran the other through his thick brown locks.
Jinora looked up at him, blushing ever so slightly. "Yeah, I can show you some of the proper stances if you'd like." She gave him a nervous smile. "M-maybe I could even give you a tour around?" The young airbender was not used to having someone her age around that wasen't one of her siblings. I wonder what kind of person he is..
Kai grinned at her, noticing how her eyes sparkled ever so slightly. "Really? What about right now? There's really nothing else to do around this old dump." Kai shrugged, hoping that he could get some alone time with her.
Jinora's big, brown eyes widened slightly, not expecting him to take her up on his offer let alone right at that moment. "Ummm..." She gave a sideways glance at her father that was busy talking with some of the other new airbenders. "Yeah, I guess that we could go now. Follow me." She started walking off in the opposite direction of Tenzin, glad to be given the possibility of a new friend.
The green eyed preteen followed Jinora. "Oh, yeah. My name Kai by the way." He kept looking around, taking in all the new sights that were set out before him.
"I'm Jinora." She didn't look at him as she wanted to keep her focus on the tour and not get distracted by his looks. "So this is the stables where the Sky Bison stay." She gestured to a large building that let out an odor, proving the habitants of it and the open area beside it. There were many bison in the herd and even some young calves.
"Wow... There are so many bisons! Does everyone get one?" He was awestruck, watching some of the large adults flying overhead but refocused when he heard her giggle quietly beside him. "What? What's so funny?"
"The plural to Bison is still Bison. Not Bisons" as she giggled again and touched Kai's arm. Though she quickly pulled her hand back, held it to her chest and blushed a soft pink. "Sorry.."
Kai was a little embarassed but then blushed when he noticed how cute and contagous her laugh was. "There is no need to apologize. So, shall we continue oh great tour guide?" He grinned and waited for her to keep showing him around.
"S-sure.." Jinora tucked a piece of chocolate hair behind her ear and continued to walk around, pointing out the sparring deck and the turning panels. They had later walked into the dormitories. "Your room will be down this hall, I don't think that too many are taken so just choose an empty one." She motioned down the corridor of boys rooms.
Kai nodded, wondering if this meant that it was the end of their tour, he looked up at her with a look of sadness in his eyes. "Well, It was nice of you to show me around. I guess I'll see you later?"
Jinora nodded, and smiled warmly. "Yes, at dinner. I can only imagine how it will be. With my younger siblings it is usually hectec but now that we have all of these new airbenders! I can't wait. Oh, if you'd like..." She looked down at her feet, "...Maybe you would like to eat with me? You dont have to if you really don't want to though."
Kai didn't really know why she acted as though she was insecure. Hearing her ask that was one if the best parts of his day so far. "Of course! I would really like that. Well, I guess I should get settled int my room.. I'll see you later?"
Jinora nods and gives him a quick peck on the cheek before turning away and running off to her room, her cheeks burning red. Leaving him in stunned silence, a wide grin apread across his light chocolate face .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Later at dinner~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kai walked into the dining room, not expecting to see everyone looking like such a big family. Growing up in different homes and on the streets never really gave him the chance to know what it was like to be apart of something. To be able to feel all the love in the air. This was definately a feeling that he enjoyed. Kai spotted Jinora sitting at a table with Korra, Mako and Bolin so he made his way over to her. "Hey Jinora, is it still ok if I eat with you?" He rubbed the back of his head, wondering if she had changed her mind.
"Of course! Please sit," She motioned to the spot next to her, smiling at Kai, and then looking up when Korra cleared her throat.
"Hey, Jinora. Who's your friend?" The avatar winked at her, wanting to know the details since when they had picked up Kai, she never got to talk much to him.
Jinora gave Korra the 'shut up!' look but waited for Kai to sit down before introducing him. "This is Kai, remember, we picked him up in the city. I showed him around the grounds earlier and so I asked him to eat with us since I didn't think that you would mind." She blushed slightly.
"Oooh, so you just showed him around? That's it. I understand." Korra grins at the sight of both the young preteens look at eachother then blush deep red.
"Korra! Sto-" Jinora was shushed by her father as he addressed everyone, thanking them for coming to learn and expand with their airbending.
After Tenzin's speech, everyone commenced with eating, enjoying the vegetarian meals. Well, everyone except Kai.
"Where's the meat?" He looked at Jinora expectantly.
"Air Nomads are all vegetarians. Just like my family and I. Is that a problem for you?" She found it strange having to answer such a strange question. It was common knowledge that Airbenders don't eat meat.
The dinner continued for almost an hour, everyone enjoying the meal and all the new friendships that were in the making. For most of that duration Korra still teased Jinora and Kai. Much to her prevail because they sat there quitely, cheeks red the rest of the time.
~~~~~~~~After Dinner~~~~~~~~~~~
Jinora had dragged Kai off, away from Korra, as soon as everyone was dismissed. She was extremely embarrassed. "Kai I am so, so sorry for that! Korra is like my older sister and loves to bug me at any chance she gets. I can't believe that she would imply that we were together or something. "
Kai was about to tell her that he really didn't mind what Korra was saying until she showed such discomfort with it. Feeling his heart sink down into his stomach, he just looked down. "Yeah.. I guess that's what sisters do." He let out a soft sigh.
"Is something wrong?" Jinora was thoroughly confused with how he looked.
Kai quickly shook his head. "No! Nothing is wrong. I think I should go to bed now. Good Night." He turned away and walked off to his room, thinking about everything that happened that day, hearing a soft 'good night' in return from Jinora.
