Author's note: This will be a not so happy chapter, but If you like angst you sure will enjoy it. Let me know what you think. Especially the ending because I'm sure some people will either like it or really really hate it.
"Just tell me the truth, Asami."
Asami's tears were still rolling down her face, but Korra still thought the woman was beautiful. "I've been lying to you this whole time." Korra grabbed the pale hands still gripping to her neck, and brought them down. She moved her thumbs over the hands one last time before stepping past Asami so that her face was turned away.
"About what?" Korra's voice was low. Asami tried to step closer, but Korra stopped her. "Don't. Just tell me." Asami just wanted to wrap her arms around the Avatar, and tell her how sorry she was."Did you use me?" That question snapped Asami to the present. "I.. I did." Korra turned around at that Statement. A single tear ran down Korra's face.
Asami didn't let the tan woman's protest stop her from closing the distance, and she placed a hand on the wet cheek. She brushed the tears away. Korra leaned into the touch, but something seemed to flash into the blue eyes. She grabbed the danty wrist, and pulled it away from her face. "You don't get to touch me anymore." Korra moved toward the bed and sat down. She placed her elbows one her knees and rested her head in her hands. The position made the Avatar look so vulnerable.
"What do you want from me?" The question was dry and short. Asami didn't recognize the voice that came from the woman in front of her. The pale woman hesitated to answer the question which only fueled the anger in Korra further. "What do you want from me!?" The harsher tone frightened Asami.
"It wasn't me who wanted something from you. It was my father. We made an agreement. I thought he just wanted a favor or something. I never thought..." Korra looked at Asami for the first time since seating down. "You never thought what?" Korra's face was serious. The tears had dried on her cheeks, but the sadness never escaped her eyes. "I over heard him talking to Amon." Korra stood at the mention of that man's name. "Your fathers a Equalist! Are you!?" Asami couldn't help wanting to move closer, but she resisted, knowing the Korra wouldn't want that.
"I'm not an Equalist. I only wanted back into Future Industries. I made a deal you for the company." Korra's heart broke into a millions pieces. How could she ignore every sign thrown her way. This vixen could never have loved her. She was a soulless shell of a person. Korra whispered something, but Asami caught just enough of it. "Your just like him." The taller woman was not understanding what Korra meant.
"I'm just like who?" Korra had dead eyes as she spoke again. "Ping." The name sent waves of anger through out Asami's body. "I'm nothing like Ping!" Korra scoffed. "Really? He used you to get what he wanted. How are you any different?" Asami opened her mouth to argue, but Korra was right she wasn't any different.
"Exactly, your not." Asami looked down to the ground as she spoke again. "There is one thing I didn't lie about. I really am in love with you." Wait how did she know about Ping. Asami was about to ask the question she was thinking, but when she looked up she saw Korra gripping her shirt and bringing it up to her lips. "I think you've got enough of a confession. Get her out of my sight." Asami didn't understand what just happened, but it became clear when she saw a gray haired police woman burst through the front door.
Chief Beifong came over to Asami, and cuffed her while she read her rights to Asami. "Ms. Sato You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you. Do you understand the rights I have just read to you? With these rights in mind, do you wish to speak to me?"
Asami turned to Korra before saying. "Korra please. I love you." The Avatar stayed stone faced. "But I don't love you, and I never want to see you again." Asami's expression fell and tears streamed down her face. Lin placed a black sack over Asami's head and dragged her out into the streets.
Lin sat Asami in the backseat of the police car. The Satomobile ride to the station was long and uncomfortable. Korra will never forgive me. I've lost her forever. The dark hood over her eyes only caused more images of Korra to pop up into her head.
She leaned her head against the cool window trying to shake the fact that she had lost yet another person she had loved.
The Avatars apartment was torn apart. Anything able to be lifted was, and scattered around the floor. After exhausting herself she lay in a heap on the living room floor. Thoughts of Asami clouded her mind, and she wondered how she could be so stupid. Her heart ached and she didn't know how she was going to move on from this.
All Korra wanted was to lock herself in a dark room and never come out again. "No if I do that she wins. I need to get out of here, and get her out of my mind." Korra picked herself off the floor, and left her apartment with determination in her eyes.
"I'll have anottherr." Korra slurred to the bartender. "Honey I think you've had enough. Why don't you head home." Korra frowned in response. "Im trying to get someone out of my head, and I am still seeing her face everywhere. So I need another drink." The bartender gave a sympathetic smile. "Well Hun you know what they say the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else." Korra thought about what the bartender had just said. Her heart was so hurt and her mind was so hazy with alcohol that she thought the idea was genius.
Korra swiveled her chair around to scan the bar when a very attractive face appeared in the crowd. That's who I'm sleeping with tonight. Korra smiled at the person in front of her, and they started to move towards her. The eyes showed that the figure coming closer to Korra had the exact same intentions she had as well.
The room was small with a table. There was a mirror on one wall in the corner. Which was obviously a two way mirror. Asami lost count of time. She could have been there minutes, hours maybe even days. All she did was seat in her chair with her hands in her lap. Asami could only think about her backstabbing the only person that ever loved her since her mother's death.
The door opened and in walked the chief of police. "Ms. Sato do you know why you are here?" Asami looked up from the table with a glazed look in her eyes. Tears were constantly running down her face. "Yes I made a deal with Amon, who is a known Equalist." Lin pulled the chair out and sat opposite of Asami. "And what was the deal for?" Asami wiped the tears from her cheeks, but more only showed up in their place.
"I would get Furture Industries in exchange for control over the Avatar. Well at least that's what I thought." Lin leaned forward trying to gage Asami's answer. "You had no idea that your father or Amon wanted to hurt Korra?" Asami showed true emotion for the first time since the interrogation. "I would never hurt Korra! I'm in love with her!" Lin leaned back in her seat pleased with the inventor's statement.
"Well than you wouldn't mind working with the police to save her life. Your punishment would be more lenient of course." Asami's interest peaked at the very mention of saving Korra's life. "I will do anything you ask for Korra." Lin smirked knowing she finally had the advantage in this war against Amon. "Good here is the plan. You and Korra go on like nothing has happened. You are still "dating" and you are still trying to trick her. Your father can't know that Korra knows the lie. That means you two have to act lovey dovey around everyone. When Amon tells you where you need to lead Korra for the trap. You come to us first. We will finally get our hands on Amon and all of this will be over." Asami's heart speed up knowing she would get to see Korra again.
"Ok I'm in. When do we start?" Lin laughed at Asami eagerness. "Whoa there tiger. We still need to get Korra to agree to this. That might be harder than you think. Korra is a lot of things, but forgiving isn't one of them." Asami's happy smile faltered. "Well we will just have to convince her otherwise. She will agree to anything if that means stopping Amon." Lin nodded her head as she stood from her chair.
"That's what I'm hoping for." The chief left the room, and Asami was left ready to take her father down for the woman she loved.
Korra's head was pounding, and she felt a bit nauseous. The whole night was a blur. Korra was surprised to find herself completely naked. She looked to her right, and there was a body shape bump under the covers. She pulled back the bed sheets, and the events of last night came flooding back to her in an instance.
Flashback
"Hello Avatar Korra. I don't usually see you out." Korra was more than a little bit tipsy. She had never drank this much in her life, and now she understood the term liquid courage.
"That's because I never thought there was anything worth coming for until now. Can I buy you a drink?" The person standing in front of her sat down next to her. "I would love that." Korra winced at the word love, but waved at the bartender to poor another drink for her partner. The two talked for hours about nothing in particular. For the first time all night Korra forgot about her worries and heart break. She was just a girl who was flirting and enjoying herself.
"Ok people you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here." The bartenders yelled to all the patrons in the bar. Korra frowned and the feelings of betrayal and loneliness came back. She didn't want to go home alone. She looked into those dark almost black colored eyes. She thanked Ravaa they reminded her nothing of Asami's.
"So my place or your's" Korra's voice was laced with confidence. The stunning individual sent a smile in the Avatars direction and grabbed a tan hand before answering. "Yours." Korra gripped onto the hand that held her's, and lead them both out the doors.
The bar wasn't far from Korra apartment. She made sure of it because she knew she would have to walk. Korra fumbled with her keys at the door out of nervousness. "Korra are you ok?" A sultry voice came from behind her. "Sorry I don't usually do this kind of thing." Arms wrapped around the Avatar and soft lips moved over her jaw. "Good. I would hate to think I'm just a notch in your bedpost." Those words sent regret through the Avatar. Korra turned around and met those same dark eyes.
"I'm so sorry we shouldn't do this." Hands moved to Korra's face and lips met her own. It felt amazing all the pain was numbed, but their was a voice in the back of her head saying it wasn't right. Korra pulled away, but the lips that were once on hers said. "It's ok. Let me mend your heart." Korra couldn't deny that sweet plea. It was exactly what she needed to hear and this was exactly what she needed to do. Korra closed the gap between the mouth once more. She didn't know if it was the alcohol in her system, or the kiss but her head was dizzy and she liked every second of it.
The Avatar kicked the door open, and they both walked to the bedroom. Bodies intertwined, and every lustful movement helped Korra forget. Her body twitched with pleasure, and her toes curled. Her hands gripped the bedsheets, and a voice whispered into Korra's ear. "I want to hear you say my name when you cum." The Avatar complied, and with one last heavy breath said.
"Ginger."
