So Korra rides off and Mako just looks at her as she rides off into the distance. He turns to go to his truck and sees Nato leaning on his truck.

"Hey Dumbass, you want to get between me and my girlfriend, your crazy so I'll just bust your skull and I won't kill you" said Nato, as he cracked his knuckles.

Mako just started backing up, until he backed up to the but, Nato just kept advancing.

Nato swung at Mako's head, but Mako ducked and gave him an uppercut right to the chin.

Nato started staggering back and Mako just took the chance to kick him in the stomach and dash for his truck and took off out of there.

"Shit, this is going to suck" said Mako to himself.

The next day, Mako walked into school, limping on his left leg that he sprained running from Nato.

Korra waved to him and he limped his way over to Korra.

"What happened to you?" asked Korra.

"Nothing, I just sprained my ankle"

"Doing what?"

"Your not going to make this easy are you?"

"Nope, so what happened?"

Mako sighed, "Your Ex, he tried to bash my skull in"

Korra went and got her worried face on, "Why?"

"Because... I was talking to you and... because i punched him in the face"

"Mako, I g-gotta go, see ya later" said Korra before running down the hall.

'Now, I know I have to stay away from Mako' thought Korra.

'I love her but... I don't want Nato or anyone coming in between us to hurt her' thought Mako.

After school (there were football tryouts and Mako made the team for QB), Mako was walking out of the locker room and saw Nato yelling in Korra's face. That was the final straw. Mako dropped his stuff and tackled him (tackled him like an elephant) and began beating the life, (not the shit out of him like Randy), out of Nato. Korra just slumped to the ground and started crying. Mako gave Nato another punch to make sure he was unconscious and ran next to Korra.

"Its okay now" said Mako with a very soft voice. Korra grabbed a fist full of his shirt and cried in his arms. He held her tight. "He won't bother you ever again". Korra looked up at him and Mako at her he put his forehead on her's and he started to lean down and she leaned up until they kissed, (Hurray!)

Korra quickly broke it and said "T-thanks" and ran off.

"Korra wait"

But she was already gone.

Mako knew then and there I can't hide these feelings. I love Korra Hishoragi.
