Back in the Spirit World
Sokka watches Asami intently as the young woman gets up from her seat wiping her eyes. The water tribe warrior takes a deep breath not moving right away.
Asami sniffles. "We should probably head out if we're going to reach the next marker before daybreak."
He rests his forearms on his thighs raising his eyebrows. "Soooo, you're okay with your wife sleeping with someone else?"
The young CEO furrows her brow. "What? How do you know about that?" Asami says knowing that all of her conversations with Korra and Mizu had been in her mind. There was no way he could have heard it.
Sokka smirks as he gets to his feet. "Oh don't worry, I don't have any super powers or anything. Hei-Bai just talks in his sleep." Asami sighs lowering her eyes not realizing how heavy this situation was on her mind. It was bad if she was talking in her sleep. Sokka stands in front of her placing his hand on her shoulder. "Hey, it's none of my business, but if it were me, I'd tell my wife the truth about how I felt."
The heiress shakes her head. "Sokka it's not that simple alright." She takes in a heavy breath and they begin cleaning up their camp site. "I'm not okay with it. It's just that the other woman is me, I mean…well… more like a part of me. She and I are becoming one person. It's important that Korra get to know her because by doing so she's getting to know a part of me too."
Sokka kicks some dirt over the fire they'd made. "Yeah but you don't really believe that."
"Huh, don't believe what?" She asks.
"If you believed that she was you, then you wouldn't have a problem with her being with your wife." He says as he picks up a pile of sticks looking up at Asami.
"But I do believe it."
"Be honest with yourself. You two might be 'becoming' one person, but that hasn't happened yet. So to you, she's not you. She's someone else."
The raven-haired woman lowers her eyes releasing an apprehensive breath. He'd just hit the nail on the head. Even though she and Mizu had almost completely merged, the heiress still saw her as a different person, but that wasn't the only issue.
Asami walks out to a large tree and leans against it while Sokka finishes cleaning up the area. "You're right okay, but that doesn't change the fact that this needs to happen."
"Why does it need to happen?" He asks.
Asami lowers her head. "Because of Mizu."
The water tribesman raises his eyesbrows. "So what's so special about her, that she gets a free pass to sleep with your wife and you have to stand by and take it?"
The pale-skinned beauty blinks a few times as feelings of guilt and sympathy rise within her. She hated how plainly Sokka was stating the situation. She turns to face him. "You don't understand alright. This needs to happen. She and I are going to be together for eternity. She needs to know that Korra and I accept her." Asami says taking in a pained breath. "You don't know what she's been through, but I do. She's never really had a chance to live but now she can. Right now she has her own body, and mind, and heart, and feelings. She's got it for two short weeks. That's nothing compared with eternity. It'd be cruel of me to deny her that." The heiress looks up into his eyes. "Wouldn't it?"
Sokka lowers his eyes and nods with understanding. "You really care about her, huh?"
Asami nods. "As much as I do myself."
"Then you should be able to tell her and your wife how you feel." Sokka says quickly. The young vixen lowers her eyes solemnly knowing that on some level he was right. "And you should do it before it's too late."
Asami gulps then takes the sticks from his hands then walks over to their bear companion. "We should get moving. Come on Hei-Bai lets go." She says softly as they start down the trail to their next camping spot. Asami didn't want to hear anything else Sokka had to say after that. There was no way he could understand how difficult this decision was for her. And besides, he was dead so what did his opinion matter anyway? It was none of his business.
Sokka shakes his head as he walks behind her.
Republic City
City Hall: Presidential board room
Mizu stares at President Raiko like a tired irritated child completely uninterested in what he had to say. He hands her a list of changes he wanted made to the old city reformation plans she and Lau had drawn up before the war. He clears his throat. "Excuse me Miss Sato, but is there a problem?"
She plasters on a fake smile. "No sir, everything is just fine. I'll look these over right away." Mizu snatches the papers from his hand then sinks down into her chair seeming bored and inconvenienced.
Asami's assistant Chelse who's seated behind her at the stenographer's station takes a deep breath then gets up from her seat. "Miss Sato, may I see you outside for a moment please."
"Suuuuurre." Mizu says quickly getting up from her seat excited for a break. "Please excuse me, Mr. President. I'll be right back."
He furrows his brow and nods. "Yes, that's fine."
As soon as they step outside the board room Chelse immediately grabs Mizu's arm and drags her into the restroom and locks the door. "What's your problem? What part of, 'you are Asami Sato', are you not getting?"
"But Seikaaaaa, it's soooo boring. Why couldn't I just stay with Korra today?" The water essence whines.
"Mizu we've been through this. This is Asami's life and soon it's going to be yours too. It's time you showed some respect for who Asami is. She's as important to this city as the Avatar is to the world. Don't screw this up for her." The fire essence says sternly.
"Urgh, fine. I'll finish the stupid meeting." Mizu says moving past her to the door.
Chelse stops her. "Mizu, this isn't just any meeting. That's the president of the United Republic in there. He respects Asami because he knows she cares about this city. If you disrespect him, Asami will lose her place on the board." Mizu rolls her eyes. "What the hell is wrong with you?"
Mizu locks dark indigo on the fire essence, suddenly the entire building begins to tremble. "I have two weeks Seika. Two weeks! Two...Weeks before my being is merged with that human's for eternity. I will not spend it cooped up in some stuffy office!"
A bright red glow begins emanating from Seika's body. She suddenly grabs Mizu by the throat. "Calm…down." She says gritting her teeth as steam vapors begin wafting from Mizu. The water essence growls at her.
They are startled by a knock on the door. "Excuse me, is anyone in there?" A man asks. "Please shield yourselves under the sinks until the earthquake passes."
Mizu takes in a deep breath and closes her eyes. The building stops trembling. She quickly grabs the fire essence's wrist. Seika's hand begins to tremble as Mizu slowly tightens her grip. "Don't think I've forgotten who put me in this situation Seika." The water bearing titan says menacingly as she forms an ice spike with her other hand pointing it at Chelse's stomach.
Chelse winces slightly knowing that Mizu would kill her if she made the wrong move. "Tsuchi put you here. I'll admit I had a hand in what's happening to you right now, but he's the one that started all this." Mizu releases her hand. Seika quickly cups her cheek to get some eye contact. "Mizu, please. Do this for Asami. Do it for Korra. Do it for you. This company is a way to help the world, not to mention paying for that house you and Korra are enjoying."
Mizu rolls her eyes and sighs. "Fine, but I get the whole day with Korra tomorrow."
Chelse sighs. "Mizu, come on, cut me some slack here."
"No Seika. Asami has finally opened up to letting me be with Korra. I never got to be with Kuruk. I'm not going to miss this opportunity because of a stupid meeting that can easily be rescheduled. Besides, I want to see what this body can do."
Chelse crosses her arms. "Alright, if you go in there and behave yourself, I'll give you tomorrow off, but you will stay for the entire meeting."
Mizu holds out her hand. "Deal."
Air Temple Island
Korra stands in front of Katara's memorial with her head lowered. She and Mizu didn't talk much about what Asami told them that morning. Korra just dropped Mizu off at Future Industries and went on her way.
They were supposed to be pretending like they were together as usual, so Asami being at work was normal. But Korra felt lost without her partner there. Sure she could go talk to the world leaders or take the spirit portal to go see her parents, but it all seemed so empty without Asami around.
Then there was the issue of this whole two for one situation between them. Was Asami really okay with her 'being' with Mizu? The young CEO hated the idea a few weeks ago, now she's the Captain of the Battleship Korizu all of a sudden. Korra could kind of understand where Asami was coming from. She knew Mizu's past with Kuruk too. It was sad that they never got to be together, but that didn't mean that Korra had to volunteer.
At first the water tribe woman didn't think she'd be able to resist Mizu. I mean come on, she didn't just look like Asami. She had Asami's body, every curve and crevice. It really helped that Asami and Mizu were so completely different from one another though, at least she could tell them apart. Korra was worried that she'd confuse them until Mizu popped out yesterday.
She had to admit she thought the water essence was pretty cute. Seeing her wife acting like a big kid was fun. For the first time she was able to let her guard down with Mizu. But mostly because she felt like she was babysitting the watery titan. That didn't stop Korra from getting turned on though. Seeing her wife be so naked and carefree was enticing. Korra hated being so horny around her. Whenever Asami even looked in her direction it was like the mommy/daddy button would switch into overdrive. She was grateful that her wife was just as athletic as she was so they could keep up with one another sexually. She couldn't be happier in that area.
But that just made Korra even more stressed about her wife's sudden change of heart around the situation. Was Asami so tired of her that she needed to pass her along to someone else? Korra felt conflicted even though that someone else just so happened to be Asami herself.
Korra shakes her head remembering what Mizu and Asami had said to her. Both of them knew what was coming.
"She and I are merging into one person." Asami had said.
"Asami and I are becoming one Korra." Mizu said.
The frustrated Avatar sighs heavily. "What is that supposed to mean anyway? Is that supposed to make me feel okay with all of this?" Korra says to herself as she stares at the placard on Katara's gravestone.
- Always remember, you are not alone. -
If there was ever at time when Korra could use her mentor's advice it was now. "Gran, why is all this happening? You said everything is gonna be alright." She takes a deep breath. "But it's not. Asami's gone and so are you. What am I supposed to do now, huh? Tell me…please." She says closing her eyes and lowering her head.
A minute later she feels someone holding her hand. Korra smiles seeing Meelo looking up at her. "You look like a girl who needs to race air scooters with me." He says her.
Korra half smiles. "I'm not really in the mood right now Meelo. Maybe later okay?"
"Awww, come on pleeeease." He begs as he pulls her arm. "Ikki is helping mom and Jinora went back to the stupid library again. I'm bored."
The forlorn Avatar releases a heavy sigh. She really didn't feel like it, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to distract herself for a little while. "Okay, why I don't I give you a head start?"
"Really!" He says creating a cyclone of air under his feet. "Bring it on Korra! This time you're going down!"
Korra chuckles softly as she creates a cyclone of her own and follows Meelo down the winding trail away from the memorial.
"Feel my farts!" He yells as Korra gets closer to him.
She covers her nose and laughs. "Guh! That is rank Meelo. What have you guys been eating? I thought you were vegetarians."
"Victory is mine Avatar! Taste my fury!" He yells as he gets closer to the bottom of the pathway.
"Not a chance fartbender!" Korra says going into the Avatar state and quickly catches up to him.
Ikki comes walking out of the temple in time to see Korra and her brother speed past her. She lifts her hands. "Woooo go Korra go!"
The blue-eyed beauty smiles and sighs, lowering her eyes deactivating the Avatar state right before the finish line. Meelo speeds past her. She watches Meelo celebrating as Ikki comes over and congratulates him. The young Avatar smiles to herself yet again being reminded that she wasn't alone. "Thanks Gran." She says quietly. "Hey, I'm not gonna take this defeat lying down Meelo. Best two out of three?"
"You're on!" He says excited.
"Me too, me too!" Ikki says.
Pema comes down the path carrying her youngest son. "Rohan wants to be the referee."
They all spend the next few hours playing together lifting Korra's spirits with each passing minute. Korra hadn't realized how serious and rigid things had been lately. She needed this play time more than Meelo did.
She would still need to deal with Mizu that evening, but at least she wouldn't be so stressed about it. Asami said that she wanted them to get to know one another, maybe that's what they needed to do.

Republic General Hospital
Azula decided to be open with Mako about what was happening between her and Ty La. She really did care about him. It was important if they were going to be in a relationship that they be honest with one another.
Mako clenches his jaw lowering his eyes as he listens to her. The more he heard the more pissed off he became. She was talking about being with someone else like it was nothing. And that someone else just so happened to be her best friend. How did she expect him to feel about that after everything he'd been through? "Argh, I'm so over this."
Azula furrows her brow slightly. She's confused by his sudden change in mood. He was fine before she started talking about Ty La. "Mako, what's wrong?"
He huffs from his nose roughly not giving her any eye contact. "Just leave okay."
"Why? I just got here."
He quickly turns to her. "Is every woman in the world lar or something?!"
"Mako, what are you talking about?" Azula asks.
"First, Korra and Asami, even Chief Beifong is seeing Tenzin's sister, and now you. I'm over it alright. Just go be with your girlfriend and leave me alone." The young man says angrily.
Azula gazes at him quietly for a moment somewhat understanding why he seemed so angry with her. Apparently his history with women hadn't been very good. "Mako, I'm here with you because I want to be. Don't you understand that?"
"No Azula, I don't. And right now I really don't care. Just leave alright."
The fire nation princess gets up from her seat. "Are you attracted to me or not?"
He turns away from her. "Of course I'm attracted to you, but what does it matter now that you've got Ty Lee or whoever?"
"Her name is Ty La. And it does matter, because I'd like to date both of you. That's why I'm telling you about her."
"What!" He exclaims.
"You both have attributes that I'm drawn to. I believe this would be the most ideal arrangement. Would this be a problem for you?" She asks in complete seriousness.
The amber-eyed young man is completely speechless. Azula was serious and he knew it, but he had no idea how to feel about it. His mind is blown trying to comprehend the concept of dating two people at one time. He shakes his head and lowers his eyes taking a deep breath. "Azula, uhhmmm, I uh…I don't know." He gulps finally looking up at her.
She takes a deep breath as their eyes lock. The confident young woman puts her knee up on his bed then leans into his lips. "Take all the time you need to decide." She says getting up from the bed and moving toward the door. "For now, I'll do as you've asked and leave."
"Hey wait." He says calling out to her still unsure what to make of her offer. She stops at the door. "Are you asking me… to date both of you?"
"No, Ty La is mine. You'll be dating me and I'll be dating both of you. If you find someone else you'd like to date, you'd report that information to me and await my approval. If this is acceptable contact me at the Four Elements Hotel when you're ready to discuss it." Azula says watching him nod then avert his eyes.
She leaves then heads back to the hotel feeling positive about her decision. This really would be the best of both worlds in her mind. After all, none of the information she'd received from Ty La or the books she'd been reading seemed opposed to having multiple partners. Now she just needed to see how Ty La would feel about it.
Future Industries
6:00 pm
Korra is outside the building leaning against Naga waiting on the water essence to come downstairs. Chelse called her and said that Mizu had a rough day and needed to be cheered up. Korra immediately thought of Naga for some reason. Naga always cheered her up maybe it would work for Mizu too. But she wondered if the polar bear dog would be able to tell the difference between Asami and Mizu.
Mizu sluggishly walks out of the building looking completely whipped. She sways from side to side like she's about to fall over. Naga runs up to her and immediately begins licking her face. Mizu groans taking an exhausted breath like she wasn't in the mood.
Korra gulps in fear as the watery titan raises her hand. The Avatar winces in apprehension afraid of what Mizu was about to do to her animal companion. Korra takes a step toward Naga about to try to pull her away when Mizu suddenly takes a deep breath and tackles Naga to the ground rubbing her belly and hugging her. "Ooooh you know exactly what I need don't you girl! Grrrr, come here you gorgeous fur ball." Mizu says happily.
The water tribe woman's jaw is on the ground as Mizu bites Naga's ear rolling back and forth on the side walk. 'Who the heck was this woman?' Korra thought to herself.
Mizu laughs releasing Naga then quickly running and jumping into Korra's arms. She puts her index finger under the Avatar's chin and closes her mouth. "Wooo, I thought I'd never get out of there. So where we headed?"
Korra blinks rapidly before speaking. "Oh I uhh, I thought maybe we could hang out with Naga tonight since I haven't been able to spend a lot of time with her lately. It could be fun, right?"
Mizu places two fingers in her mouth and whistles. To Korra's surprise Naga scoots her snout between their legs and lifts them onto her saddle. Mizu grabs the reigns. "I'll drive." Before taking off, Mizu grabs the young Avatar's hands and places them on her hips. "You should hold on."
Korra averts her eyes with a slight blush in her cheeks. She was confused. Why did this feel so comfortable? Mizu wasn't her wife. They didn't even know one another.
"Woooooo!" Mizu yells as Naga gallops down the street.
They ride for an entire hour. Indigo begins to color the sky as night falls. Naga was taking them to the eastern boarder of the city. Korra furrows her brow not knowing where they were going. Mizu gasps seeing something up ahead of them. "Moon lakes." She says softly.
"Moon what?" Korra asks.
Mizu smiles. "Moon lakes." She says as Naga stops. "Kuruk told me about these. I always wanted to visit one." They get down off of Naga and Mizu unhooks the polar bear dog's saddle then begins taking off her clothes. "This is amazing. I never thought your dog was this smart."
"Mizu what are you talking about? And what are you do…ing?" Korra exclaims. Before she can finish speaking Naga and Mizu run towards the large dark murky looking mud pit.
"Come on slow poke you're gonna miss it." The water essence says running naked toward the pit.
Korra shakes her head, rolls her eyes, then takes off her clothes, making sure to leave her chest wrap and underwear on. Who knew what Mizu was planning? And how did finding a huge mud pit make her polar bear dog smart?
Naga spent most of her time on Air Temple Island whenever Korra was busy. The airbender kids told her that they would let Naga off leash a few days a week to explore the city while they watched her from above on a sky bison. They said they'd lost track of her a few times, but that she always came back to the island. Korra was as curious as they were to find out where Naga had been disappearing too.
The Avatar walks over to the pit seeing that Naga and the water essence are covered in mud. This was yet another reminder to Korra that her wife really was gone. Asami would never do something like this. "Mizu it's a hole full of mud. What's so special about it?" Korra says standing on the edge of the pit not wanting to get dirty.
"Jump in and see." The water essence says as she splashes mud on Naga like it was water.
Korra puts her foot inside and finds that it's warm to the touch. "Hmm."
Suddenly the water essence creates a mud whip and pulls Korra in. "Hurry up."
"Uck, what's the big deal? I was getting in." Korra says wiping some of the mud from her face.
Mizu just laughs and swims back over to Naga. "Just wait."
The moon begins to rise revealing the very beginnings of a crescent moon. As soon as the light hits the pit the mud transforms. It's like a lake filled with magnificent clear shimmering crystals. "Wow…" Korra says in awe.
Mizu swims over to her. "These lakes are only found in the Earth Kingdom. It's beautiful isn't it?" Korra nods with a small smirk then Mizu wraps her arms around her neck and pulls her in close. Korra gulps then averts her eyes. Korra blinks rapidly as her hands move on their own wrapping around Mizu's waist. The watery titan holds Korra quietly for a moment then whispers in her ear. "I'm scared too you know." Korra remains silent finally able to control her arms again, but she doesn't move them right away. Mizu sighs softly as she looks up at the sky. "You're wondering why you're so comfortable with me?" She pulls back and looks into Korra's eyes.
The young Avatar swallows softly wondering how Mizu knew that. She lowers her eyes. "It's…it's because you…look like Asami."
The water essence smirks then leans into Korra's lips placing a small kiss there. "Close but no. That's not the reason." She cups her cheek then leans into those soft sweet caramel lips again. Korra allows it for a moment then averts her eyes and moves away from her. Mizu giggles. "I'm surprised. I thought you would have figured it out by now. Even your polar bear dog knows who I am."
"What are you talking about?"
Mizu swims a few yards through the sparkling mud away from Korra. Their eyes lock then the water essence slowly lifts her hand in an elegant smooth manner as though she's painting a picture.
Korra feels a pleasant tingle rising up through her body. She blinks rapidly not expecting the strange sensations. The more Mizu moved her hand the more the Avatar's body began responding. She pants trying to get a grip on herself.
Mizu smirks again then begins to manipulate the crystal fluid surrounding them. She moves Korra toward her. "We've known one another for a long time Korra. Longer than you've known Asami as a matter of fact." She slowly grasps the nape of the Avatar's neck and brings their lips together again.
Korra closes her eyes feeling compelled to reciprocate the kiss. The two women begin sinking into the crystal lake until they are submerged. The kiss continues to deepen. Korra feels like she's floating in the ocean. Mizu moans contently into her mouth. The water essence's slow moan reverberates through the Avatar's entire being. That's when Korra gets it. She opens her eyes as their lips part and Mizu brings them back to the surface. A sweet soft smile plays on the water essence's lips knowing that Korra finally understood.
"You're…water." The blue-eyed Avatar says slowly. Mizu nods. Korra takes a deep breath. She knew that already didn't she? But it was like she'd only just realized it right at that moment. Mizu was the essence of water, no wonder she was comfortable with her. Korra loved the water. She always had. But the moment that thought registered with the young Avatar she immediately turned around and got out of the crystal pit. "Come Naga."
Mizu furrows her brow seeing the polar bear dog swim past her. "Korra, what's wrong?" She asks as she swims toward the edge to leave with them.
"It's just getting late that's all. Has Asami said anything to you?" Korra asks as she bends the crystal mud from her and Naga's bodies.
The water essence takes a deep breath. "No, she hasn't said anything all day, but she seems to be alright. Aaaare….you…. okay?"
Korra keeps her back turned to her. "Yeah, I'm fine." She tosses Mizu's clothes over to her. "Let's get going."
The ride out to the mansion was quiet for the most part, other than Mizu commenting on the scenery. She could sense how uneasy Korra was. She would have said something to her about it but Asami chimed in and told her not to.
The young CEO decided to check in with Mizu and felt the essence's emotions right away. She knew it had something to do with Korra. Asami wasn't too happy when Mizu explained what happened between the two of them, but had no choice but to accept it. She knew how conflicted her wife was because she felt the same way. "Korra will come to you when she's ready Mizu. Don't press her about it okay. She needs time to accept her feelings." Asami had said to her.
"And what about you? Are you really alright with me being with her?" Mizu asks her host already sensing the young woman's trepidation.
Asami breathes roughly through her nose remembering her conversation with Sokka a few days ago. She works overtime to mask her feelings. "I want Korra to accept you Mizu, because when she accepts you, she'll be able to accept me too once we've merged. Tell her that and tell her that I love her."

Sato Mini Mansion
Mizu and Korra sit down to dinner. "So what did you think of the moon lake?" The water essence asks as she devours the take out they got from Kwong's the other night.
The Avatar keeps her eyes focused on her plate. "It was fun." She says quietly then continues to eat her food.
Mizu chews slowly watching Korra push the food around on her plate. "Really, that's all you have to say about it?"
Korra takes a deep breath taking another bite of her salad. "I'm glad you and Naga liked it."
Mizu rolls her eyes, shakes her head, and scoffs. "You're a real piece of work you know that? I see why you and Asami get along so well. You're both emotionally constipated. Neither of you knows how to say what's really on your mind." She says as she picks up her plate.
"What?" Korra asks finally looking up at her.
"I told her how much fun Naga and I had at the moon lake." Korra stops eating. "She says she wants you to accept me, so that you can accept her when we merge. And she said she loves you." Mizu watches Korra's reaction or lack thereof then leaves the kitchen.
Korra lowers her eyes. She hated not being able to talk to her wife. Was Asami really okay with all this? How could she just spring this on her the day before she leaves? It wasn't fair.
Korra looks toward the doorway hearing Mizu walking up the stairs to the bedroom. She couldn't deny that she had feelings for the woman anymore, especially now that she'd figured out who Mizu really was. Waterbending was Korra's first love. And now the water was here in a physical form. It was surreal.
"She and I are merging into one person." Asami had said.
"Asami and I are becoming one Korra." Mizu said.
Korra sits back in her chair thinking contemplatively unable to get their words from her mind. "Sooo, they'll be one person, but how's that supposed to work. Will she be Asami or Mizu or….Asamizu,… Mizusami?" She scratches her head. All Korra knew was that she needed to be by herself for little while in order to figure things out. She takes a deep breath then heads upstairs.
She knocks on the door. "Hey, uh, Mizu, I'm uh, I'm gonna sleep in one of the other rooms okay?"
"No it's not okay. I'd rather you sleep in here with me. And stop talking to me through the door." Mizu says quickly. Korra sighs then opens the door. "There that wasn't so hard was it? I told you exactly how I felt. Now it's your turn."
Korra scratches the back of her head and averts her eyes. "I uh, I wanna be by myself for a while so I can think about things."
"What things?"
Korra gulps lowering her eyes.
Mizu smiles. "Are you ready to kiss me like you mean it now?"
Korra sighs keeping her eyes lowered. "No."
The water essence furrows her brow. "Why not? Korra I know how you feel about me…."
"I just need some time alright." She says finally looking at her.
Mizu gets up off the bed and walks up to Korra. "That's not something I have a lot of Korra. Right now, I'm me." She takes the Avatar's hand and places it against her chest. "Just me. When Asami returns that's going to change. She and I…"
Korra slowly pulls her hand away. "I know alright. I get it, but do you understand that I'm married? Asami isn't just my wife. She's the one I chose to give myself to; the one I chose to give my everything to. I love her. I can't just turn that off to be with some other woman even if that other woman looks exactly like her. My heart doesn't work like that okay."
Mizu continues holding Korra's hand. "I know it doesn't." She says lowering her eyes. "But, I also hope you know that you're the one I want to give 'my' everything to."
"Why?" Korra asks.
"Huh?"
"Why? Is it because I remind you of Kuruk?" Korra says as their eyes lock.
Mizu sighs. "I admit that it does have a little to do with it. I can sense that you love my essence as much as he did, but that's not why I want you." She smirks as she cups Korra's cheek. "I wish I could explain the way I feel when I'm around you, when I hear you say my name, when I look into your eyes. I didn't feel this with Kuruk or Tsuchi. When I first awakened within Asami her feelings for you seeped into me. I couldn't tell the difference between what I felt and what she felt. But now that we're separated I finally know how I feel." She slowly leans into Korra. Their lips slowly overlap. Mizu grasps Korra's neck eagerly wanting to deepen the kiss.
Korra holds Mizu's arms and pulls back. She gulps and closes her eyes for moment. "I need time …please." Korra says softly.
Mizu looks into her eyes then nods moving away from her. "Do you…want to talk with Asami?" She asks really wanting Korra to at least be in the room with her tonight.
Korra inhales through her nose then steps out of the room. "No, she's already made her decision, now I need to make mine. I'll be just down the hall okay." She says looking back at Mizu and closing the door.
Mizu comes out of the room behind her. "We'll spend the day together tomorrow right?" Korra nods then continues to her room.
Korra gets undressed then jumps into the bed. She lies on her back staring up at the ceiling. Asami and Mizu's words replaying in her mind. Korra mimics them like an irritated child. "We're gonna be one Korra. Ptttff…" She sighs placing her forearm over her eyes. "Yeah well one plus one is two. So what about me? Where do I fit in, huh? How can you be okay with this Asami?"
Back in the spirit world
"I'm not." Asami says to herself unconsciously responding to her mate then curling up against Hei-Bai.
Asami, Sokka, and Hei-Bai had settled in for the night. They would need to contact Korra soon as they'd be near Koh's lair in a few days. Asami hadn't spoken to her wife in weeks and even though she missed Korra terribly she felt it was for the best. Korra and Mizu needed time to get to know one another without her interference. She figured it was like a band-aid. If Korra and Mizu were intimate she'd hear about it after the fact and it'd be easier to deal with.
The water essence had kissed Korra more than a few times, but at least Asami knew about it. That wasn't so bad. She was getting used to it. After all, Mizu had kissed her too when they were in meditation a few weeks ago. Asami was surprised that she could still feel it. She wondered how Korra felt when she and Mizu kissed.
Jade green orbs close with a sigh wishing she were in her wife's arms. Asami smiles to herself remembering how amazing she feels whenever her partner was around. Loving thoughts guide her to sleep.
Back in the physical world
Korra closes her eyes wanting nothing more than to be with her wife. Part of her wanted to see if Mizu was asleep maybe she could talk with Asami like she had the other night, but she decided against it. This really was a decision she needed to make by herself.
Mizu sighs softly in the huge double earth king sized bed. She lies on her side staring at the wall knowing Korra was on the other side of it. She thought about sneaking into the water tribe woman's room, but didn't want to risk making Korra angry and messing up their day tomorrow. Every moment she spent with Korra was precious.
She and Asami would probably merge the moment Asami got back from the spirit world. She had no idea what it was going to feel like though, being one with Asami. Mizu takes a deep breath and closes her eyes. She'd rather know what it was like to be one with Korra and maybe tomorrow she would be. Now giddy with excitement and anticipation the water essence falls off to sleep. Tomorrow was going to be a great day.
Later that night….
Asami mumbles in her sleep awakening within a dream. "Korra?" She calls out hoping her partner might be around. There is a large mirror in front of her. She can see her reflection. Her eye color is shifting back and forth from green to blue. Asami takes a deep breath as she approaches the mirror. Was this what her merger was going to be like? She places her hand on the mirror and is shocked as her reflection grabs her wrist and pulls her through it.
Asami gasps furrowing her brow unsure of what was happening. "Hey sweetness." The water essence says.
"Mizu?" Asami says taking the water essence's hand as the woman helps her up. The blue-eyed titan cups Asami's cheek then leans into her lips. The young CEO pulls back. "What are you do….ing?" She says as their lips meet again.
The water essence increases the force of the kiss grabbing Asami's wrists pressing her back against an invisible wall. She can hear Mizu speaking in her mind.
"I want to know what it feels like when she touches us. Show me how it feels." Mizu whispers in her mind as she begins kissing a path down Asami's neck.
The raven-haired woman's eyes flutter as the water essence releases her hands. "Mi-zu…" Asami pants closing her eyes feeling Mizu suckling on her rapidly heating neck. It felt so good. She furrows her brow. 'Why does this feel so good?' Asami thinks to herself feeling the weight of the titan's body against her.
"Because this body is ours. It's yours and mine." The blue-eyed essence says pulling back and locking eyes with Asami before gently bringing their lips together again. "I know you're worried about Korra and I being together. Don't be. Korra loves us…and this body." She says slowly licking Asami's bottom lip then looking down between their thighs. "I want to know how it feels…." Mizu says as their clothes begin to disappear piece by piece. Soft lily white fingertips trail unhurriedly over Asami's supple breasts down her delicately toned torso. Mizu's hands travel past shapely curvaceous hips before enfolding around Asami's waist and grabbing the firm globes of her ass. "To be touched." The essence whispers enjoying the feel of this foreign yet inherently known flesh under her fingertips. "Show me why Korra desires this body. Show me what it can do."
