Back after a long while. I am working on a long story that has taken my time but I haven't forgotten about my prompts so here it goes, my take on a Soulmate AU.
Prompt by: Anonymous
Soulmate AU...
The name had been there, on the inner part of her right wrist, for as long as she could remember. Asami it read, with a beautiful calligraphy. Isn't that a girl's name? She had asked her mother when she was finally able to read it herself. Senna had smiled a warm smile and told he with a sweet motherly voice that maybe it was, but that the gender of the owner of the name was irrelevant. It belonged to her soul mate, to the person she was supposed to fall in love with and find happiness with. That was how things worked, so she shouldn't worry about it too much and simply wait for that Asami person to appear on her life. Destiny would find its way.
When Hiroshi read the name he could not believe it. Korra, it read. And it didn't matter how many times he looked at it didn't change. Korra. That was definitely a girl's name, a Water Tribe name, to be specific. Was that a joke? Was his only daughter supposed to fall in love with another woman? No. Destiny could suck it. That would never happen. He wasn't going to let her be a freak of nature. This Korra person would never even meet his girl. So when Asami, who has two years old when the mark had appeared, asked him what it said, he lied. He told her it was just gibberish, that he couldn't read it. Why daddy? No soul mate? She had asked with her limited use of language. He nodded and told her that they should hide this, that no one should know that she had no soul mate. So he grabbed a candle and burnt her skin with wax. It hurt and she cried but her daddy said they had to do it so she tried to keep it together.
When Yazuko, her mother, had asked what had happened, Hiroshi kept his lie. He told his wife, with tears on his eyes, that the name of Asami's soul mate was impossible to read. He had told the girl the truth and she had panicked, grabbed a candle and burnt herself to hide the mark. Yazuko had no reason not to believe her husband so they cried and hugged and hoped for the best. When the burn healed the word was no longer visible, on its place was an awful scar. Hiroshi made sure to have her wear a special bracelet to cover it up whenever she was around other people. I don't want anyone to take advantage of Asami just because they think they might be her soul mate. So no, she won't be showing the mark around or b talk about the name. He had told the press when the word got out that the tycoon's daughter's mark had appeared. Destiny would never find its way.
When Korra was four years old she discovered she was the Avatar, master of all four elements. She was excited and even though she could not bend air at all she made it her goal to be the very best. The White Lotus began training her and it was awesome. She learned fast. Tonraq and Senna where, at the same time, both scared and excited. Their little girl was supposed to bring balance to the world and that was an honor, but the dangers of being the Avatar where certainly frightening for the first time parents. But they did her best and made sure that she felt loved and cared for. One day, however, everything changed. Korra never truly understood what had happened, but her parents seemed scared. They took her to a new place, a place that looked like a fortress, and told her she had to stay there. Korra didn't' really understand but she obeyed. They told her it was best for her training. But it worried her that while hiding in that compound she never met a single person by the name of Asami. How was she supposed to find her when she was stuck there. Senna told her to be patient and wait. Asami would appear in her life when the time was right Destiny would find its way.
Hiroshi could not believe his eyes. The new Avatar had been found. Her name was Korra and she had been born on the exact same day that Asami's mark had appeared. It had to be her. He broke the newspaper and threw the pieces into the garbage. He just hoped that the White Lotus would keep quiet about her mark, which he was pretty sure spelled his daughter's name. That girl was the Avatar so they would be cautious. Maybe for security reasons, maybe they would… It didn't matter what he had to do, he would keep his girl from meeting Asami. Destiny would never find its way.
Life was good for Korra. Even if she could not exit the compound she had managed to find a polar bear dog puppy and made friends with it. She called her Naga. Even thought they were skeptic at first, her parents had calmed down when Katara, the former Avatar's widow, had explained to them that every Avatar had an animal guide. Naga was probably Korra's. The young girl took the pup everywhere and made sure to tell her all about Asami, the girl whose name she had written on her body. If you ever hear the name Asami, make sure you let me know okay? She had told her. She didn't know or really cared if the polar bear dog had understood the message. It wasn't really necessary. Destiny would find its way.
She could only see fire. She was scared. When the police officers saved her from her bedroom and she fell into her father's arms she could tell everything had changed. He was crying. Daddy never cried. Her mother was dead, killed by the fire benders that had broke into the house. They said words she didn't really understand. Rape, the officers had said several times, disfigured, third degree burns, dead on scene. She tried to grasp the concept that her mother would no longer be there for her and it destroyed her. Her father was everything she had. Asami was a motherless child with no soul mate. Was she meant to be alone for the rest of her days? What if something happened to daddy? She asked Hiroshi, one summer night about a month after the fire, if there was a chance for her to find love even without a name on her wrist. He furrowed his brow, remembering how his daughter's soul mate was the Avatar herself. Not only was she a woman but also a bender. Benders were the source of everything that was wrong in the world. Could Asami find love? He said no, that the world didn't work that way and that he was sorry. He wasn't. Destiny would never find its way.
She left the compound and broke into a cargo ship. She had to learn air bending somehow. The South Pole could eat it. She was tired of the snow, and the White Lotus, and everything. She needed to get to Republic City. As she sat on the wooden floor of the ship she looked at her wrist, which was generally covered, and read the name over and over again. Asami was a fire nation name but maybe she would get lucky and meet her in the United Republic. She sighted. She trusted her mother's words but she was growing impatient. As the Avatar she knew her life could be short and full of adventure. She loved the idea of excitement, but she wanted to meet her soul mate before all the crazy began. Are you in the city, Asami? Are you waiting for me too? Korra snuggled closer to Naga and tried to relax. Destiny would find its way.
Her life had three main axis: martial arts, engineering and pro bending. Her everyday would be divided among those three things. Her father had made sure she would be able to protect herself and so he hired the best fighters in the world to teach her. She was pretty awesome in four styles, pretty good in two and currently learning another one form scratch. Asami was also supposed to take over Future Industries, her dad's company, and so she learned everything she could about machines. Her best memories with her father where around a disassembled Satomobile. And pro bending… Pro bending was her greatest source of entertainment. She didn't really have any friends, since she had been homeschooled all her life, and the only people she knew were her father's associates and their kids. She really didn't hit it off with either group so, even if she was good at pretending, she would not interact with them outside formal meetings. But when she went to a pro bending match she felt like a normal person, even if she had a private booth. Hiroshi tried to keep her from going. Not only did he hate benders, something he tried to keep to himself as not to worry his kid, but he also felt that anything bender related could bring Asami and the Avatar closer together. He had to prevent that. That had been one of the reasons why he supported the Equalist movement. Amon wanted to get rid of benders and so did he. Destiny would never find its way.
Republic city was unlike anything she had seen before. It was massive and modern and there were so many Satomobiles she feared she would get run over. She rode Naga through the streets with such amusement that she didn't even realize people where staring at her. Everything there was new to Korra and so she would not lose her time looking at other people. That was until Naga suddenly stopped, looked to her side and began running. Girl, stop it! She told her, but the polar bear dog seemed to be on a mission.
I'm glad I could be of help, Asami told the man as she shook his hand. He thanked her once and again and said it would be an honor to do business with her father if he was willing to send his daughter personally to deal with little business owners like himself. She smiled and told him that in Future Industries they liked to treat every deal the same way, no matter its size. You really are a remarkable young woman, Asami Sato he said out loud with a smile. She smiled back. As she was walking back to her vehicle she heard something approaching, she jumped back, avoiding whatever that white mass was but, in the process, her heel broke and she fell to the ground.
"I'm so sorry" Korra said as she dismounted the polar bear dog "I don't know what got into her"
"Its okay" Asami replied getting up from the floor. Korra froze for a minute. That girl was gorgeous, even with her clothes and face stained with dirt and she smiled weakly over the evident pain she had to be feeling. The southerner looked down at the ground, a bit ashamed at her polar bear dog's behavior and saw the other girl's shoes.
"Your shoe is broken…" Korra said, almost to herself "Bad Naga!" she yelped and the polar bear dog looked at her confused, as if not understanding what she had done wrong.
"Really, its okay" the raven-haired girl repeated, "I have more shoes at home, don't worry. Just be careful. Someone without my reflexes could have gotten hurt"
"I know, I'm sorry", the Avatar said again as she rubbed the back of her neck nervously. Asami thought it was incredibly cute "I'm Korra, by the way. I guess since I almost ran you over I should at least tell you my name," she added with a crooked smiled.
"I'd like to say it's a pleasure but my leg kind of hurts" the heiress joked. There was something about this Water Tribe girl that made it impossible for her to actually get angry. She really liked those heels and yes she was indeed in pain and yet she wasn't mad at all. That crooked smile had taken all the negativity away from her mind. She laughed at the pout Korra was making and spoke once more as she offered her a handshake "I'm kidding, I'm okay. I'm Asami, it is actually nice to meet you"
Asami. The name burned her ears and her mouth fell open. That was why Naga had almost trampled this girl. Asami. This was Asami. But, if she was indeed her soul mate, why hadn't she reacted when she said her own name? Was this another Asami? No. Definitely not. This had to be her. She knew, in her heart, at the way it fluttered at the mere thought of holding her hand. This was not just Asami. This was Asami.
"Your name is Asami" she said, astonishment still frozen in her face.
"Yes," the girl replied a bit confused "Is there a problem?"
"No, no… Nice to meet you too" the Avatar replied as she shook the green-eyed girl's hand. When they made contact something inside of her exploded and she had to make her best effort not to make it evident. If this girl was her soul mate there had to be a reason why she didn't react at her name. Asami, on the other hand, felt pain. Her scar suddenly burnt and she had to take back her hand with a grunt.
"I'm sorry, are you hurt?" Korra asked, worried.
"No, no, I'm okay I just… I need to get home"
"Okay… See you around, maybe?" Korra tested, a nervous smile on her face. Asami opened the door to her satomobile and laughed lightly. This Korra girl was too much; she could feel something fluttering in her stomach as she looked deep into her light blue eyes. What was this feeling? She had no reason to be so flustered about this girl. It was a girl for crying out loud! She wasn't one of those people. Besides she didn't even have a soul mate, it didn't make sense. Her mind, however, came to a halt when Korra raised an eyebrow slightly, waiting for an answer. That girl was too beautiful.
"Maybe" she replied with a grin before driving off into the distance, her heart beating on her throat. Korra remained still, looking in the direction Asami had taken. That was Asami, her soul mate; there was no doubt about it. Maybe, the word echoed in her mind. Maybe destiny would find its way after all.
