C'mon guys! You can do better than that! Here I am, spitting out ideas that come and smack me in the face and all I get is one review? I still have fun writing this, but I'd really like if I got more reviews!
This chapter is dedicated to hidansgirl1234 for being my only reviewer last chapter!
Disclaimer: I don't own The Legend of Korra ): Since I'm following the episodes with Harumi, much of the dialogue belongs to the creators of Legend of Korra too.
Harumi groaned as another, "Oh, Tahno! You're so amazing!" Sounded from her brother's room. She pounded her doll-like face into her pillow for what must have been the millionth time. Every time her brother's stupid Wolf Bat friends came over they always brought their stupid fan girls along with them. Of course, Ming and Shaozu's girls would always ditch them and throw themselves on Tahno. The boys never seemed to mind but one time Ming brought a pretty, dark-haired girl over - one that he obviously liked - and, of course, she flung herself onto Tahno. Harumi could actually feel him shaking with anger all the way from her own room. Ever since that incident, Shaozu brought twice as many girls over to compensate for Ming.
She was jolted out of her thought when the radio went through a brief buzz of static. No sooner than it started, it ended and the joyful music was replaced with a voice that chilled her to the bone. Even the activity in Tahno's room seemed to have ceased. "Good morning, citizens of Republic City,"
"It was until Mr. Masked Man disrupted our music," Harumi heard Shaozu snort loudly.
"This is Amon. I hope you all enjoyed last night's Pro-bending match..." Harumi glared at the radio as well as a blind person could, yet the glare vanished and her ears twitched ever so slightly at the mention of Pro-bending. "Because, it will be the last. It's time for this city to stop worshiping bending athletes as if they were heroes. I'm calling on the Council to shut down the Arena and cancel the finals... or else there will be severe consequences." The radio returned to static and Harumi shivered at Amon's ominous ending. As much as she loved listening to Pro-bending, she'd rather the finals be canceled for everyone's safety. She already knew that Tahno paid off the referees but she was powerless to stop that. Of course, that meant the Wolf Bat's would win for the fourth year in a row.
After a short silence, Tahno let out a roar of laughter. "Well then! We'll show 'em who's boss, won't we Wolf Bats!" As the rest of the group joined in on the chorus of laughter, Harumi couldn't help but get a pit in her stomach and a lump in her throat. Her gut told her that something was going to go horribly wrong.
"And introducing the defending champs," The man said gesturing dramatically to the other side of the arena, "The White Falls Wolf Ba-" The introducer was cut off by the defending champs screaming fans. Some girls were almost crying because they we're so happy that they were even in the same room Tahno, Shaozu, and Ming - however huge the room was.
Harumi brought up her hands, ready to plug her ears until a chorus of loud 'booms' sounded. She let out a little shriek and jumped out of her seat before realizing it was her brother's overdone introductory. He knew how much fireworks scared her and he should have told her! Harumi could feel the people near her raise eyebrows and wonder who had screamed. She rolled eyes and crossed her arms, ignoring the fact she was the only person who was scared of fireworks. He always has to overdo it, doesn't he... She thought.
"Now, let this championship match begin!"
Harumi tried her best to sense the match but with the crowd stomping their feet, she couldn't feel anything. It was just a barrage of movement that made her extremely uncomfortable. Thankfully, she was sitting in the Wolf Bat's locker room that jutted out slightly against the wall. She would've attempted to listen to the radio host, but even he couldn't be heard over the wild roar of the crowd.
She looked up when she heard the commentator declare, "Round two will be decided by a tie-breaker!" Harumi shot up and concentrated a hard as she could, trying to reach the platform. If Tahno was going to play dirty, the Fire Ferrets deserved a little help. Especially Bolin, She thought while a blush rose up to her cheeks. The commentator threw the coin up and when it hit the ground, Harumi added a little extra momentum to it. Just enough to ensure it landed on the Fire Ferret's side. "The Fire Ferrets win the coin toss," She couldn't help but let a devious smirk cover her usually innocent face. "The tie-breaker will be between the two water benders!"
Harumi sat back in her chair and crossed her legs. Now all she had to do was pray Tahno was as cocky as he usually was. If that happened, Korra was sure to win it. She bit her lip, extremely anxious. The silence was making her nervous. Tapping her foot impatiently, Harumi began to drift to the edge of her seat.
"Round two goes to the Fire Ferrets!"
"Yes!" Harumi cried while fist pumping the air. "Show 'em who's boss, Korra!" Finally, Tahno was going to realize that he wasn't going to win every time. "C'mon..." She muttered.
"Knockout! For the fourth year in a row, the Wolf Bats win the championship." Harumi immediately ceased movement when this was heard and her mouth opened and closed like a gold fish. She whirled around when a cold, metallic hand was placed on her shoulder. She shivered when the person spoke.
"I think I've found another little bender for Amon to purify,"
Ohhhhh! Cliff-hanger time! Will Harumi keep her bending? Or will she lose it forever? If you review, you might find out!
