"You never see it coming...Cause you're blinded from the start"
Pretty Boy? Oh Spirits know she did not just call him that, Mako thought. He had known this girl for five minutes and she already managed to get under his skin. He let out a growl and got into his stance. She had so messed with the wrong Firebender.
"Hey guys, let's not fight," Bolin said trying to keep the peace.
"Move," the benders replied in sync. He sighed and did as he was told.
"As a matter a fact," Korra began. "Perhaps he should fight with you. You're going to need all the help you can get."
Mako narrowed his eyes at her. "Oh really?"
"Really."
"Not a chance. You don't know who you are fighting against."
Korra yawned. "Are you going to talk all day or are you going to spar?"
The Firebender clenched his jaw before sending a fire punch her way. She lazily sidestepped before sending a water attack that barely missed his head. She grinned and he growled. She had missed on purpose.
Both Benders when at it for a long time; each avoiding the others attack. Bolin watched, highly amused by the fact that their new neighbor was actually putting up a good fight. His brother had finally met his match. Korra wrapped a water whip around Mako's leg and pulled, making him fall on his back.
"I win," she stated with a grin. The Firebender had had enough. He got up on his feet and threw a fire blast at her.
The Waterbender had obviously not seen the attack coming and turned while raising her right arm in an effort to cover her face. That's when they heard a scream. The girl fell on her knees clutching her right upper arm. Mako gave her a horrified look.
"Korra!" he called when she ran to her house.
"Nice going!" Bolin yelled punching him. "You burned her!"
Naga took off after her owner, not before looking at the Firebender and growling loudly, stopping him from going after her as well.
"I-I didn't mean it," he whispered looking down at his hands. "I didn't."
"Korra? Honey, what's wrong?" Tonraq asked as his daughter ran to him. She simply hugged him and he did the same before noticing the burn on her arm. "What happened?"
"I was…sparing…with the…neighbors…and he…burned me," she managed to say between sobs. The Waterbender gently picked her up and took her inside.
"Is something wrong with Korra?" Senna asked hurrying over to him.
"She has a burn," he replied sitting down with her on his lap. Senna quickly gathered water in her hand and began to heal the wound.
"Korra, I don't know why you just didn't-," she began.
"I don't want anyone to know yet," the little Waterbender whispered. Her mother sighed and continued to heal the wound.
"He better not get close to my little girl again, or I'll-."
"They're just children, Tonraq," Senna reminded him. "I'm sure he didn't mean it."
The Waterbender grumbled. "Tell me you at least taught him a lesson."
Korra smiled. "Sure did," she replied. He chuckled before kissing his daughter on her temple. She giggled.
"There," Senna said with a smile after bandaging the burn. "Feel better?" she asked caressing her daughter's cheek. The girl nodded.
"Ok, time for bed," her father said picking her up.
"But I'm not tired," Korra replied rubbing her eyes and yawning.
"Yes you are," Senna said holding out her arms. The little Waterbender took them and laid her head against her mother's shoulder. By the time they got to her room she was sound asleep. Naga walked in as they laid her on her bed covering her with a blanket.
"Good night," they whispered kissing her forehead. The polarbear placed her head on the bed and watched as her owner slept before going to sleep as well.
