Inspired by some Kainora Fanart Avatar fans are the best :)

Jinora walked calmly to the temples meditating room. Raising her hand to meet her head , sighing admirably at herself in the mirror she looked at her arrows before placing herself in the meditating stance.

"Finally,peace and quiet " she whispered to herself , after hours of trying to escape the annoying questioning from ikki and Meelo she finally had time to herself and what better way to celebrate than to mediate. Just as she was about to block out the outside world she felt the air to her right become heavier as someones presence entered its space. Opening her eyes in annoyance she was just about to tell off Ikki once again until she realized it was a shirtless Kai clearly fresh from training who had taken up the space instead .

Seeing her eyes on him he smiled with Jinora returning the gesture whilst also speaking up .

"Hi,Kai"

"Hey Jinora , you don't mind if I join you?"

Jinora didn't mind , not even the slightest and tried to give her best not so eager nod before closing her eyes once again . Kai and Jinora have become closer ever since the whole red lotus ordeal , they would have their moments a hug and a friendly kiss from time to time but since becoming a master she has struggled to find time to spend with him . Kai being so eager to go on adventures would sneak in to her room and persuade her to let go of some responsibility and go exploring something she would occasionally give in to .

They were like that for a while , enjoying the silence and each others company . But whilst Jinora was meditating in complete concentration Kai had different ideas .

"Stop starring at me Kai " Jinora said light-hardheartedly with her eyes closed and a small smile making its way on her lips . Kai on the other hand remained seated with an even wider grin but with one eye closed than the usual expected two .

"Do you want go on an adventure?" Kai had his whole body turned this time his tattoos reflected from the sun that had escaped through the window .

"Sure when do you want to go " Jinora replied excitedly, her eyes still closed.

"No I mean like the adventures your grandparents went on with their friends , you know the ones that your always reading about . Why don't we go exploring like that " Kai clearly had been thinking about this for a while, but his explanation came out much hurried than he had originally planned .

"I don't know Kai , I don't think my dad would let me" Jinora said still trying to keep her concentration .

"Jinora I've been a master for over a year now you almost five , we've already gone around with the rest of the air benders why not try it with just the two of us " Jinora blushed when she heard the words just the two of them which Kai purposely whispered in her ear .

She thought about it . Her eyes still closed with Kai still staring .

"I'm gonna have to ask my dad " she said slowly .

"yes?" Kai said questionably

"And we're going to have to plan out where we go " she said her eyes opening upon this thought.

"yes..."

"We could visit ancient ruins and other historical places , maybe visit some of the places my grandfather went to , we could even start by going to the south pole and asking gran gran " Jinora seemed to be persuading herself which left a happy Kai grinning in admiration .

"And I could be like your personal body guard " Kai said raising his chest which caused Jinora to giggle .

"But asking my dad might be a problem " Jinora said walking with Kai hand in hand down the corridor as they continued their conversation on to the next morning .

"I'll come with you , I think he's grown to like me " he said pointing to his own air bending tattoos as proof .

"Allowing me to go around the world with a boy might still make him decide otherwise " Jinora said smiling at his moment of courage .

"oh come on Jin don't get worried now , I'll think of it as practice for when I ask him for permission to date you " Kai said raising his hands behind his neck as he walked on whilst a visibly stunned Jinora remained frozen in her position.

Kai himself trying his best to pretend what he said was no big deal stopped to turn and ushered an embarrassed Jinora in front of the door of her fathers study. With both of them now composed Jinora raised her hand and knocked looking at Kai for reinsurance .

"Ready " she said

"Ready " he responded turning to face the door which Kya had opened .

"oh hi Aunt Kya is dad here"

"of course, come on in Bumi is here to. "

Kai visibly gulped , not feeling as confident as he did before . "What is it Jinora?" Tenzin asked somewhat worried at this out of character appearance.

Jinora starred at her dad , then turned her head to look at his siblings . Maybe this wasn't a good idea after all . Maybe I should have asked mum before confronting dad . She contemplated whilst the increased silence led Bumi to jump to conclusions.

"Ah I see you have come to ask whether or not you and Kai can officially start dating" Bumi said a smirk and knowing tone in his voice .

" no!" Jinora said hurriedly looking at Kai before her gaze remained at the floor. Kya put a comforting hand over Jinora's shoulder.

" It's okay Jinora it's nothing to be ashamed about " Jinora sighed louder .

"That's not what were here for though ! " Jinora said raising her head at a visibly shocked Tenzin.

"Master Tenzin " Kai finally spoke after a minute long battle with himself to finally make his presence known . He bowed trying his best to show at much respect as he could . His deeper voice and a somewhat improved maturity was noted by Tenzin along with the serious tone that matched the expression on his face.

" We're actually here to ask if it would be okay with you if me and Jinora took a journey of our own and explored the world much like your father and mother did " Kya's expression softened with Bumi's being that of a teeth bearing grin.

" Father" Jinora added to the request .

"I'm grown now and it would be a great opportunity for me to explore the world and find my own sense of enlightenment, I mean we are masters now" her seriousness matched Kai's who had locked glares with Tenzin who then finally looked away with a sigh .

"Okay " he said . To the visible shock of his siblings.

"Okay ?" Jinora said herself shocked at her fathers surprised support .

"I think its a great idea , I'll have to ask your mother as well but yes you may go " Tenzin said this time louder repeating his reply to himself more than the people listening.

"You're letting me go alone , exploring the world ... for who knows how long ... With a boy ?" Jinora replied .

"Would you rather I said no " Tenzin said raising his eyebrow which made Kya and Bumi laugh .

" no, no I mean yes ... I mean ... Thank you daddy" Jinora replied softening her rushed reply as she spoke .

"It's okay Jinora " Tenzin spoke as they hugged. As Kai and Jinora began to leave a visibly tearing Tenzin tried to feign a smile .

"Um master Tenzin"

"Oh Kai you're still here , yes what is it? "

"Thank you " this genuine reply made Tenzin smile back and was further shocked to have been hugged by the young air bender who himself was almost reaching his height. Jinora who was waiting at the door smiled at this , saying goodbye to her Aunt and Uncle as well before walking through the door Kai had opened for her.

Leaving the room with a smiling Tenzin , Bumi and Kya . Kai spoke one last time which led to an immediate change of expression - "Oh and don't worry, I'll be back to ask if I can date Jinora " .

"Are you ready? " a clearly excited Kai burst into Jinora's room the next day who at that very moment was busy having a heart to heart with her mother .

"Kai ! " Jinora shouted

"Sorry" an embarrassed Kai said while scratching his head .

"It's okay sweetie I was just saying goodbye to Jinora" Pema wrapped Kai into a hug of his own before waving goodbye to the two air benders with visible tears in her eyes. "My baby is growing up " she said before leaving.

Kai was quite startled by the interaction . The motherly tone and the hug was appreciated by Kai who had now turned to Jinora who herself was wiping her tears before finishing the remainders of her packing .

"Are you sure you have everything? Sleeping bag and ..." Kai cut her off becoming more eager to leave . After one pull of lefty's Sadle he made his way to Jinora who was yelling from below .

"Yes everything is set , can we go now" he said in a dragged expression before turning to the people who were there to see them of .

" Bye guys " Kai said smiling before Bolin dragged him into a hug.

"You take care little bro" before turning to Mako, "they grow up so fast. "

Jinora had her own goodbyes running towards Ikki and Meelo who were visibly upset . " I won't be away for a long and I'll try to radio as soon as we can " she said to a defiant Ikki who pretending she was alright, both were brought into a bone crushing hug by Meelo which was later joined by Tenzin , Pema and later Rohan.

On their bison , they all waved goodbye as the two young air benders flew off to start their journey .
