Well, chapter four already ever since I started this FF. I hope everybody is enjoying reading it as I am enjoying it writing.

If you didn't see the finale yet, I must say there's a spoiler when it comes to Asami's father.

Chapter 4

Darkness surrounded her.

Her name was the last name she recalled hearing, being yelled by a panicked voice.

What's happening...? Did I... Die...? thoughts crawled in her mind, she didn't see anything but she could feel ground under her feet and decided to walk.

She took a step and suddenly she saw a faint light appear in the far distance. A soft voice guiding her. She couldn't make anything from the words but the voice felt familiar somehow.

She walked directly to the light which grew and became stronger. Without realizing she started to run towards it. Wanting, needing to know what it was before it would disappear again. Two shadows doomed up in the distant light, blurry at first but after several seconds they were taking form. She stopped, finally recognizing the two before her.

"Mom?! Dad?!" she asked almost hysterical in disbelief. "B-but... you... you're..." she fell to her knees, realizing what was happening.

"Dead...?" her father asked, a small smile on his lips. "We are yes... but no, you're not..." he walked closer to his daughter, all dressed in white clothing. He wrapped his arms around her, his wife followed his example.

"You're hurt..." her mother said in a way only a mother could, her voice full of worry for her only child.

Asami couldn't say anything, hearing, seeing and feeling her parents, it was too much for her. "I-is this... is this a dream...? It's not real?"

Both her parents looked at each other, not knowing what to say. "It might only play in your head sweetie... but that doesn't mean it's not real..." her mothers hand wiped away the tears on her daughters face, placing a soft kiss on her forehead.

"I miss you two so much..." she said, now tightening her arms around her parents.

"We miss you too..." her father said although having a sad smile on his face. "But it's not your time yet Asami."

"Your friends still need you." She paused a moment than continued again. "The Avatar needs you." Her mother smiled brightly at her.

Asami pulled back slightly, looking from her father to her mother and back. "I... I have..." she felt ashamed, not sure if she should voice what her heart truly felt for the Avatar.

Her mother let a soft giggle escape her. "We are aware of your feelings for her Asami..." she said with a gentle voice, a hand placed on her daughters heart. "Never be ashamed for your feelings. She can either return your love or not. Even if she doesn't feel the same way, she'll still be your friend."

"But, what if she hates me for... what I am... how I feel..." tears welled up in her eyes, feeling a sting in her heart just thinking of what could happen. "What if she'll never want to see or talk to me again?"

"Do you really think Korra would hate you my dear? Because of how you feel?" she let out a gentle chuckle and pulled her daughter in her arms. "You know her better than to hate someone just cause of how they feel..."

Asami smiled and nuzzled against her mother. Her heart slowly being freed by the tight grip of fear. "Thank you... both of you..." she mumbled, feeling so tired suddenly as everything slowly is covered in darkness. "I love you..." she said, her eyes closing.

"we love you too..." she heard them say it, her mothers voice continued. "It's time to wake up sweetie... wake up..."

She felt how the pain from her ribs and head slowly returned. She felt warm and strong arms were holding her, warm water flowing around her body by a steady current. She brought her hand to her chest and she felt the fabric of a towel that was covering her nakedness.

"I think she's waking up..." Kya's voice reached her ears first than Korra's followed.

"I think you're right."

Strong arms held her tighter, almost to the point that she wanted to protest because of her ribs but she buried that thought quickly. "K-Korra...?" her voice was weak and raspy. She finally forced her eyes to open up and saw Kya standing only a few feet away from her. Moving in a way a water bender moved to create the currents of the ocean.

"Welcome back Asami" Kya said, smiling friendly. "You still got her Korra?" she asked and seemed to look past Asami.

"Yep, don't worry, keep going." Korra's voice came from behind but was still close. She dared to look down at herself only to realize she was in her bathtub. Her eyes grew wider, she saw the light blue colours that water benders use to heal someone move around her. She looked next her, knees that didn't belong to her resting next her.

She wanted to turn around so badly, ashamed of her naked form. Although covered by one of the towels that had been laying in her bathroom, she still felt her face grew hot with embarrassment.

"Can you calm her down Korra...? I think she's starting to panic..." Kya said, still focussing on the healing currents that moved around and over Asami's form.

Korra nodded and rested her arms under Asami's towel covered breasts, pulling her up and closer against herself.

Asami whimpered in pain and tears swelled in her eyes. "K-Korra... Korra..." her voice was weak and cracked from emotion. "You came... for me..." she said, her heart racing.

The Avatar smiled, although her friend wasn't able to see it. "Of course I did. Especially after that scary phone call of yours, it scared the hell out of me. I was so worried." She rested her head on her friends shoulder, calming her down. "We're going take you with us to Air Temple Island, so I can keep an eye on you while you're recovering." She gently shifted her position a bit behind Asami. One arm still holding her and the free hand now resting on the side of which Asami's ribs were cracked due to her fall. She used the healing abilities that she had picked up from Katara and Kya, to ease the pain that her friend was currently enduring.

The water bending Master had left the bathroom some minutes ago, giving the women some privacy as she shuffled around in Asami's drawers. Trying to find some clothes in which she could be moved once she'd come out of the tub.

She let out a deep sigh, her heart calming down from the Avatars soothing presence and touch. "I'm sorry..." her voice unable to produce a sound louder than a whisper.

"For what...?" Korra asked, confused.

"Well... this...?"

"You had an accident Asami, it's not like you threw yourself on the floor and hit your head. It's not your fault."

She felt how heavy her head suddenly became, how tired she was from just speaking. "I... I'm so tired." She paused to take a deep breath, although her ribs stopped her from taking in more air than she wanted. "Everything's spinning... can't focus... my eyes..." she said, her eyes closed.

"Sleep." The Avatars voice was soothing, gently guiding her to the darkness that was so tempting.

This time she would just fall asleep instead of her body collapsing, her body relaxing against the Avatars. Although still clothed she could feel the warmth coming off of her and her feminine form pressed against her back.

"I'll be here, I'm not going anywhere..."
