Battle of the Hearts
Author's notes: The positive feedback was amazing guys thanks so much! I hope you guys really enjoy this chapter. This chapter really won't have a lot in it. Its shorter then I wanted it to be but I don't want to give much away and if I do I want it to be..well not rushed and thrown at your faces. EVERYTHING will start next chapter. I will explain everything going on in this AU and the korrasami will begin and grow. Each chapter though will at least have one song in it and it's not just the fire ferrets rocking out fallout boy songs ;p (Much anyway)
BUT again I hope you enjoy this chapter!
Korra pushed her way through the crowd straight towards the black haired beauty she'd been eyeing. Ever since she walked in the mysterious woman was stuck in Korra's head. When she walked on stage she caught the woman staring at her, and not just because she was about to perform; her eye's told another story. Most girls like the mystery woman would swoon over Mako; like Korra once did. But she didn't. Her focus throughout the song was on Korra. They established a connection. And it was crazy for Korra not to follow it up. Nothing was going to stop her. Besides the hand that grabbed her arm and roughly pulled her back. Korra whipped around to see the band manager Zolt glaring at her.
"Korra where's my payment for tonight? You said it would be ready by now!" Zolt drawled in an impatient tone.
"I don't know take it up with Mako, I'm busy." Korra said snatching back her arm.
Zolt though wasn't going to take that as an answer; until Shady Shin pulled him away. Korra stood there slightly confused as to where her manager went within the two second interval of the conversation. The tanned girl shrugged it off to spin on her heel to try and close the distance with the mysterious woman to find that she was gone.
"Damn Raava." Korra grunted.
Asami made a run for it when she'd seen the rock star talking to someone else; though it created a problem. Asami and Opal were enjoying the show around the crowd in front of the exit; in case of a quick getaway. But now she has no idea where the exit is or her friend or for the matter of fact were she is. The room was much larger then anticipated. Asami dramatically sighed and collapsed against a nearby wall in the less crowded side of the room.
"Why?" Asami though out loud to herself.
"Why what?"
Asami jumped at the sound of a voice replying to her question. The voice came from the devilish good looking bass player. Mako was it? He stood hands by his side with a curious expression.
"Sorry my name's Mako. I don't think we've ever meet sweet heart." Mako smiled; with a hidden purpose.
"Asami." Asami stated in an obviously uninterested tone.
Yea, Mako was good looking and from what she could tell a great bass player; but not her type. There was something about him that seemed off. Could be the fact that he held a bottle of beer in his hand, or that he smelled of cigarettes or maybe that he has placed a hand to thr right of her and trapped her into a corner.
"Asami, that's a pretty name. I know all the girls that come to these events. Never seen you before, sexy." Mako grinned flirtatiously.
Asami looked away from the clearly intoxicated man. The smell of smoke and beer was seeping through Asami senses and it kept all she had from vomiting. The engineer pushed herself up from the wall and snarled at Mako before ducking under his arm and walking away. Trying, at least before Mako grabbed her wrist and turned her body towards him. 'Men' she scowled to herself as she tried to slip her wrist out of his grip.
"Don't be that way gorgeous." Mako grinned.
The man's grip tightened on Asami's wrist. And now it was taking everything Asami had in will power to prevent herself from breaking his arm, until he decided to wrap his arm around her waist. Right then and there Asami probably would've made sure he could ever have children until she intervened.
"Mako get the hell off of her. She's not interested."
Mako grip and arm retreated from Asami. Instantly the black headed beauty took a step back; away from him. Her saviour took the opportunity and stood between them. Asami eyes widened to see Korra hands on hips glaring at Mako. Korra was shorter than expected, almost a head shorter than Asami.
"Go somewhere else and stop bothering girls."Korra spoke pointing off in the distance.
Mako towered Korra but the small girl seemed to have the upper hand over him. Annoyed Mako let out various grunts before walking away. The engineer watched him walk off and then back at her saviour. Smiling and looking quite proud of herself.
"That went better the expected." Korra sighed.
"I'm sorry for the trouble my band mate caused you. Honestly his not usually like that."
Asami now face to face with the performer studier her closely. She was a remarkably beautiful woman. Her eyes were an icy blue and there were so captivating. Korra had noticed Asami 's long stare and reddened. The woman in front of her was remarkably gorgeous up close.
"Ahem, sorry I don't- we haven't-I'm….spirits… Korra, The name's Korra." Korra nervously smiled holding out her hand.
"Asami Sato. Nice to meet you Korra." Asami smiled raising her hand to the gesture.
There was an awkward silence between the two. Both were mentally kicking themselves. Korra was always so confident and easy going. She never had a lot of trouble talking up another girl especially face to face. But Asami she was somewhat different. Though Asami was use to talking to strangers. She was an expert at small chats or smooth talking someone to get her own way. Businessmen were sneaky, it now just came naturally to the young CEO to keep a conversation flowing. But Korra was distracting. She couldn't really read her.
"I've never seen you around here. What brings you here? If it's alright for me too…"
"I'm here with a friend. She insisted that I spent a night away from the office." Asami said empathizing the word insisted.
As if on cue Opal came out of nowhere slinging her arm around Asami's shoulder. It took a few seconds and a helpful hand from Korra to steady the engineer from the sudden 50 odd kilo's to fall on her.
"ASAMIIII, there you –hiccup- are I was won-hiccup-ding were you got off too." Opal slurred.
"You're a friend of Opal's?" Korra asked.
"Yea, but I may not be tomorrow morning." Asami said with a frustrated at her friends state.
Opal on the other hand being a bit tipsy didn't sense the aura around Asami. It was at this moment Asami wished she had left then and there.
"HEYYY Korra, since when di- ohhhh you hitting it off with Asami?" Opal grinned.
"Opal shush."
"Hey Korra did you-hiccup- know Asami digs –hiccup- chicks?"
"OPAL!"
"Oh really? That's interesting." Korra grinned.
"YEA, you guys should totally –hiccup- hook up."
"OPAL SHUT UP!"
"She may not look –hiccup- it but she gets really hor-" Asami slapped a hand over Opal's mouth to prevent her from saying another word. Korra stood there arms crossed with an amused expression. Asami though was as red then a burning flame. And Opal hung there like a toddler learning how to walk.
"Here I'll help you." Korra chuckled.
It was going to be easier with two people carrying the oversized child to the car. But Korra swooped Opal into her arms. Asami raised a brow at the shorter's girl actions. "Follow me." Korra said walking off. Asami of course kept on her trail.
"You reckon you could open the door?"
The taller girl snapped out of her trance on the shorter girl and performed the girls request. Holding it open Korra walked passed with Opal in her arms. The engineer took note that the gorilla bouncer was nowhere to be seen. 'Wonder where he is?' Asami thought. Asami looked around and saw Korra heading towards her car. The taller girl picked up her pace getting the keys out of her pocket.
"This is your car right?" Korra asked.
"Yea, how did you know?"
"Opal always parks here when we perform."
Asami mentally took notes. She defiantly planned on coming back to one of these. Asami opened up the car and helped the shorter girl place her friend into the back. Asami took a step back as Korra closed the car door.
"Thank you for that. You didn't have to." Asami said smiling.
"Ah, oh haha no worries it was the least I could do since Mako was be-" Korra cut off when Asami placed a kiss on her cheek.
"Thank you Korra. I'll see you around." Asami winked getting into the car.
Korra stood there jaw dropped as the car left the area. 10 minutes later Korra still stood there dumbfound. "Did she really just…did that actually….. SPIRITSI DIDN'T GET HER NUMBER" Korra cried kicking herself.
