Disclaimer: I don't own Legend Of Korra.
Note: I was fiddling with ideas for a youtube redub of LoK. It's still in the embryonic stage in that I have nothing, not even DVDs, and am too poor to buy anything. As an added storyline, Korra and Asami's backstories have been changed completely and merged for fun. I decided to note that Akina was a real risk taker, because both the girls are as well.
Chapter One: Backstory
If there was one thing Akina Sato regretted, it was falling for that Tarrlok. They weren't married, they weren't even living together, but she'd fallen for him all the same. As soon as she revealed that she was pregnant, he'd cut her out of his life. Of course Hiroshi went on and on about how he was nothing more than a filthy bender, but she refused to agree. She swore that brother of hers would jump at any tiny chance to demonize benders. The awful part was that she still loved him.
Akina might have loved Tarrlok, but he wasn't even here. He had had the guts to disown the child before it was even born because, as he said, having an illegitimate child would hurt his all-important reputation. Maybe it was a bad idea to get involved with a politician. Now she was breathing as hard as she could, pushing and breathing as the doctor said.
"Alright, I see a crowning!" Akina gasped in happiness and before she knew what was going on, a shrill cry filled the room. "It's a beautiful girl!"
Akina smiled before another wave of pain hit. "Uh-oh!" Another doctor said. "Looks like we're not quite done here."
Akina's heart spiked in surprise. "Twins?"
"Looks like it! Push!" Akina put everything she could into that push. She was already so exhausted and she wasn't sure she could handle it. It was a strange thought, she was always so wild and adventurous. She almost never gave thought to whether she would live through something, but now...she wasn't so sure. Soon enough, a second cry filled the room. "Another girl, and this one looks like a fighter."
Akina was weak now. She was having trouble thinking and it was getting colder in here. She could vaguely see her daughters. One, the elder, had her fair skin and pale green eyes. The younger looked like her father with darker skin and brilliant blue eyes. As breath became more and more rare for her, Akina knew she was not long for this world. "P-please." she gasped, tears falling from her eyes, "Please, call my brother Hirsoshi Sato, he'll take care of them." Akina let out a deep breath and closed her eyes to rest. She would never wake up.
Hirsoshi eyed the two girls playing six months later. The older, Asami, was his favorite. She looked just like her mother. The younger, Korra, looked like her scum of a father but was every bit as adventurous as her mother, always reaching for new things always eying thinks with mischief. Hiroshi's eyes widened with shock, which quickly turned into anger as the younger girl began screaming...and the water in his glass began moving. It slowly rose from his glass and flew over the crying girl. She immediately stopped and stared in wonder and soon her cries became giggles as she bent the water in midair. Asami laughed and clapped happily.
Shock quickly turned to hatred. Only one more thing to make her like that rat Tarrlok, being a bender. Well, not in his house. The next day he took the girls down to the South Pole, there was no way that child was growing up in his city. There was a small orphanage down there ran by a couple. For the first few months, Asami was miserable without Korra, always sitting by herself in a corner, moping, depressed. Eventually, though, she forgot about Korra and returned to her usual, bubbly self.
Hiroshi was glad that, even with Tarrlok as a councilmen, they'd never see Korra again. How very wrong he was.
It has been brought to my attention before that I have misspelled Hiroshi's name, but I fixed it. Review.
