Ok so I have never uploaded anything on here so I am trying desperately to get the second chapter up...so be patient :) Hopefully this works but I am horrible with technology.

Thanks to those who reviewed :) It made me happy!

"Are you sure you are ready to fight me?" Bolin questioned again.

"Are you serious? If you think your silly pro-bending moves will be enough to work on me then you are sadly mistaken. Pro-bending is too weak of a style." Yuzuki promptly replied.

"WHAT?" Bolin, Mako, and Korra yelled.

"Yuzuki do you really think pro-bending is weak? It's helped me so much," Korra replied.

"Of course it helped you. You have strength down. You need help in finesse and the fast-paced elements of pro-bending do help that. But overall, the power behind the bending is very small. It's too restrictive. You can't tell me that you use your full bending strength during a match." Yuzuki said.

"hmm, I never thought about that."

"Whatever I can beat you either way," Bolin boasted.

Yuzuki and Bolin found a suitable place on the island; plenty of rock and right by the water to supplement their bending. As they readied themselves on opposite sides, Yuzuki let out a small smile. When Korra yelled to start, Yuzuki drew up a huge tidal wave in the blink of an eye that crashed around her and knocked Bolin completely off his feet and almost all the way to the air temple before he could even take a breath. Bolin popped back up spluttering water.

"What the HELL was that?" he yelled.

"One of the simplest motions of a waterbender." Yuzuki replied blandly. Mako helped pull his brother out of the water. Bolin eyed Yuzuki suspiciously. She smiled docilely back at him and he shuddered.

"Okay, okay, I MAY have underestimated you. I was wrong and I'm sorry," he said while rubbing the back of his head.

"Thank you."

"Why don't I take you out to make up for it," Bolin replied with a smile and a wink, already back to his flirtatious ways.

Surprisingly, Yuzuki let out a laugh, "how about if you win you can take me out."

Bolin was surprised, but he was never one to back down from a fight. Before he could speak up though, Korra interrupted.

"NO! I get to fight you next Yuzuki!" she yelled, bouncing on her toes like a child.

Yuzuki smiled gently, "Fine we can fight next."

Before Bolin could protest Yuzuki turned towards him in a deceptively docile manner, "We will have our fight later. And you will lose." She then walked away as if she simply commented on the weather. Bolin was definitely at a loss of words. It was pretty rare that a girl wasn't all over him. Ya, it could be a little tiring (not at all, he loves the limelight) but how could they help it? He was a fun, gorgeous pro-bender. It was natural. But this girl, this little girl splashed right in with her waterbending tricks and said that SHE would beat HIM. Hmmph.

"Come on Bolin, I don't think you want to miss this. Your ego will be fine," Mako called, interrupting Bolin's inner pouting. He walked over to the rest of the group in time to see Yuzuki come out in a different outfit. She had kept her short navy blue boots, however, instead of a dress she had switched to slightly baggy light blue pants that stopped under her knee. Her shirt almost had Bolin's mouth on the ground. It was light blue as well and stopped above her belly button, showing oblique muscles that any girl would kill for and was tied firmly under her breasts. The capped sleeves hugged her shoulders and showed off the nicely defined biceps and triceps. Her hair was now in a tight bun on her head, making her face look more angular. Bolin was speechless. The petite girl had a build along with curves that could kill. But more importantly, WHY was she not in her dress. Didn't she know that guys would be all over her? How could she..she…STRUT around so indecently.

"HEY!" Bolin yelled.

Yuzuki turned towards him, a confused look on her face, "Why are you so worked up?"

"Why did you change?" Bolin questioned bluntly.

Yuzuki raised an eyebrow, this was certainly out of character compared to the rambunctious, fun-loving Bolin Korra had described.

"I'm about to spar. I didn't want my dress to get sweaty. It's a nice dress." Yuzuki calmly explained. Frankly, she shouldn't have explained at all. What was his problem, questioning her like he was some over protective boyfriend? Deciding to ignore him, she turned her back and faced Korra. Bolin pouted behind her.

"You ready?" Yuzuki asked Korra.

"Umm, no! Not before you explain to me what new technique you are going to unleash on me. I am not having a repeat of last time." Korra heatedly replied.

Yuzuki looked at her nails, "I still don't see what the problem was."

"ARE YOU STINKIN' KIDDING ME? YOU LEARNED HOW TO THROW BLADES AND I SHOULDN'T BE CONCERNED?" Korra bellowed, breathing heavily. But what should Yuzuki expect? She was so shocked that Katara had to do an emergency healing.

"You should be prepared for any sort of attack but fine, I'll tell you now. I'm going to fight you with chi-blocking."

Korra's mouth dropped, Bolin squelead, and Mako shifted slightly to a fighting stance. Yuzuki raised her eyebrow once more, "What now?"

"You can't use chi-blocking! The Equalists use that!" Bolin yelled

"And?" Yuzuki demanded, "They don't own the form of fighting. And how are you supposed to know how to defend yourself against it if you never fight it or learn it strengths and weaknesses?"

Everyone opened their mouth then paused, all of them showing the identical expression: realization dawning. Korra smiled.

"Tell me more."

"That's more like it," Yuzuki smirked at her best friend, "Chi-blocking, like any other form of fighting, is not evil. It is simply a form of defense and offense. The person who utilizes it determines whether its effects are positive or negative. The problem is, before now, chi-blocking was not a common form of fighting. Most warriors are going to rely on weapons that can perform a death strike, not one that will simply subdue their opponent. The most famous chi-blocker is, of course, Ty Lee, of the fire nation who died some time back. The problem lies in the fact that next to no one practices this style of fighting. Because of that, benders don't know how to defend from it. It's easy to defend yourself against another bender because their strengths and weaknesses are obvious. This is why I decided to learn chi-blocking, so none of us are caught off guard by their attacks. Now, chi-blocking is fairly easy to explain: they are light jabs to your pressure points which utilizes the knuckles and fingers. Depending on your strength at it, you can simply disable someone's ability to bend, or take away their motor functions temporarily. Now that I have given this nice lesson, Korra, let's fight."

"But I have barely seen it, how will I know what to do? What if you take my bending, then we have to wait," Korra said.

"You will learn how to defend yourself best through fighting against it; you don't need to learn it. And I am the next best healer to Katara. Not only that, but I am not intimately familiar with it so I can bring back your bending fairly quickly. Now get your waterbending butt up here and fight. I'm going to start with waterbending and when I work my way in closer I will switch." Yuzuki replied.

"Ok, let's do this."
