Chapter 2:
The words could not be formed for the feeling that Kasai felt. No, in fact it had gone so far past irate that it almost seemed like steam could be pouring out of the young woman's ears. Sitting on the steps of the police station Kasai tried to wrap her mind around the feelings that were throwing themselves throughout her head. What kind of person could continue acting like a cocky asshole after his bending was taken away? It was understandable that he would be upset and possibly angered, but the hostility in his voice was beyond the young chi-blocker. He didn't know her from eve so what in the world had brought him to such an outburst? Better yet however what had come over her to slap him like she had? Sighing heavily Kasai pushed her hands through her hair. Knowing full well she'd have to eventually have to deal with her repercussions Kasai stood and headed back up the stairs; as she entered the police station however the site that met her eyes was unbelievable. The avatar had Hana held back as she tried to throw herself at Tahno who sat shocked on the ground.
"You inconsiderate asshole! She was just trying to be nice! Yet you want to act all big and bad like your such hot stuff! That girl as you call her is my best friend and if she could bend she'd be ten times the person you will ever be even if you had your bending! You're pathetic Tahno! To think I once idolized you! You're nothing more than a cheating, stealing, fake prick!" She continued her onslaught of words trying her damnedest to remove herself from the avatar's grip wanting nothing more it would seem then to rip Tahno to shreds. The reactions that the young earthbender was having was way different than Kasai had ever seen. Though it was known for earthbender's to have quite the temperament Hana herself had never shown any normal earthbending emotion until now. Eyes wide jaw slack Kasai finally made her presence known causing a sudden halt from the arguing party.
"Kasai…" her tone softened instantly her head lowering in embarrassment and defeat, "I…"
"It's alright Hana… don't worry about it thank you." A small smile grazed across the young chi-blockers face at her friend's bravery. Though it did surprise her that her friend had snapped off like she had it made Kasai happy that her friend was standing up for her. Just as was about to speak again however Councilman Tenzin and Chief Bei Fong exited the interagation room.
"Miss Keisei Miss Koneko… this way please; Korra we will talk more later ok?" The councilman spoke eyeing Korra with an almost fatherly gaze. Korra nodded ushering Tahno out of the police station. As soon as the two were gone Kasai and Hana followed the two into the interrogation room. Many questions were thrown at them; some were easy to answer others… not so much. It was hard at times for Hana to hold back the tears she felt were about to consume her, however each time that would happen the councilman would assure her that everything was ok and find anyway he could to calm her. After the many questions Kasai quietly ushered Hana out, however she stayed behind for a few moments.
"Sir… I would like to offer any help I can… I may not be able to bend, however I do know many techniques that the chi-blocker's do… I was raised by my chi-blocking mother and fire bending father… I would love to be of service to bring down this mad man…" She the bowed in respect. The councilman stated he appreciated the offer, but at this time there was no help needed that things were being dealt with as needed. A little annoyed at the reaction, but understanding Kasai nodded and quickly exited the room.
When Hana had left earlier that day with some friends Kasai had gone wandering the city. It had been forever since she'd taken a day to herself. It was uncommon for her to do so seeing as she'd always had Hana there and was always trying to protect the young earthbender. Recently Hana had made friends with a few of the younger city kids some of them living on the streets, but that didn't really bother Kasai for she'd also heard that the pro bending brother Bolin had been down there most of the time when Hana would go out as well. This had forced Kasai into the conclusion that more than likely one of Hana's biggest reason's for going was the earthbending brother. When Hana had come begging to let her go that afternoon Kasai had almost fallen over laughing, however after a few seconds of fake contemplating she agreed.
So here she was wandering the city the beauty of the lights being her scenery. After a little while Kasai wandered into a small restaurant to find none other than previous probending champion. He seemed sullen once more, however this time Kasai completely ignored him quickly finding herself a table as far from him as possible. Quickly ordering a drink and a bowl of noodles Kasai leaned back in chair carefully kicking up her legs balancing herself as she sat. Allowing her mind to wander Kasai didn't even notice the sullen Tahno come up to her. In fact it took him shaking her shoulder for her to even realize he was there, however the introduction was short lived as she almost toppled backwards only to be caught by the man she wished to ignore.
Cheeks red with embarrassment Kasai quickly moved herself out of his arms and stood dusting herself off, "What do you want…?" she asked agitation clear in her voice. Looking up at him after a moment Kasai felt herself quickly look away. His eyes were a beautiful crystal something she'd never seen before. Almost cursing herself at even thinking this Kasai turned back to her table mind trying to focus back on her own thoughts, however she was quickly ripped out of them once more as he went to speak again.
"I was told to apologize…" he said obviously as if it harmed him to even do so, "Will you… will you honor me with dinner tomorrow?" Kasai's body stiffened in both annoyance and shock. He thought he could just waltz up to her and offer her dinner as an apology? Who did he think he was? After a few moments however Kasai decided even with his annoyance it wouldn't be a bad offer. She had been running low on cash and Hana seemed to be going out more and more lately.
"Ok…" she said her voice almost a whisper, "ok I'll honor you with a date… however no funny business pretty boy… got that?" She then gave the man who seemed to almost be the bane of her existence a death glare in which he responded with an almost flirtatious smirk.
"Of course…" he said curtly. He then returned to his seat his job obviously finished for now it would seem. Sighing Kasai cursed herself for even excepting the offer, yet she knew if she hadn't the situation would have more than likely drug on forever something Kasai did not want to deal with. There was enough in her life she had to do without having to deal with a stuck up pretty boy. Better to take his offer she reasoned than to tell him to buzz off and deal with a possible stalker case. I mean seriously… how bad could one meal be?
