Let's get on with it! And yes I pulled a Monty Python


Akira walks back home, having arrived back in Republic City a few hours beforehand. He made sure to make sure Korra got settled back in alright before taking his leave though. By the time he'd left, the sun had set, and the moon was rising.

Upon entering the house, he sees Amako watching TV while sitting on the couch.

"Hey Akira." She greets.

"Hey cous. Back in Republic City and ready to take it easy for a couple weeks."

"Sounds good. I think Tamayo said she wanted to talk to you, so you can head to the Burning Heart later or wait until she gets back."

"Thanks for letting me know. I think I'll head over; I could use a drink after everything that happened."

"Good idea."

And so Akira begins another trek, though this one isn't as far. He greets the bouncer, high fiving him, before stepping inside.

"Hey! Welcome back home, hero." Tamako greets. "What'll it be? It's on the house."

"Thanks Tamako. Fire Whiskey will do fine."

The Twin pulls up a bottle and two glasses. She fills both and drinks with her cousin.

"So, what brings you to the fine establishment? Just the drinks, or are you looking to hire one of the girls."

"Just the drinks. And to talk to Tamayo. Amako said she wanted to speak with me."

"Oh yeah. She's in the back. Bring along the bottle if you want. Like I said, on the house."

"You're the best." Akira compliments, downing the rest of the glass before grabbing the bottle and heading to the back room.

He politely knocks on the door first, hearing a, "Come in," before opening it. Tamayo is seen face aimed down at paperwork, and a bin nearby is filled with empty bottles.

"Hey cous. How's business?" Akira greets.

Upon hearing Akira, Tamayo looks up with a drunkenly bright smile. "Akira! You're back." She stands up and embraces him, holding on a bit longer than usual. When she does let go, she holds onto his arms at elbow length. "It's good to see you alright."

"Yeah. I did take a bit of a knock to my head that's still in the final stage of healing, but otherwise I'm right as rain."

"Heh, good."

Tamayo lets go of Akira and takes her seat, offering Akira one in the process.

"So, Amako said you wanted to talk?" He asks, sitting down.

"Yes! Right. Uh, this is potentially going to get very awkward."

"Tamayo, we've had sex. Numerous times. I doubt what we're going to talk about can be any more awkward than that."

Tamayo smirks and replies, "I guess you're right." She takes a deep breath before continuing. "Akira, what do you think of me?"

"Well…I guess you're pretty business savvy, kind, and pretty."

"That's nice of you to say."

Akira picks up on Tamayo's hesitance. "Tamayo, what's going on? Are you feeling ok?"

"Honestly, no."

"Has anyone insulted you, hurt you? I'll get Kasem right now and we'll cave their teeth in."

Tamayo chuckles before replying, "No, no. Noting like that. I like that about you. At the first sign of trouble, you're up in arms ready to defend me. You're honest, passionate, a bit stupid at times, but in an adorable way."

"Hey."

The two laugh before Tamayo notices the bottle in Akira's hand.

"How about we have a drink." She suggests.

"Alright. I already had one with Tamako, but I'm good for another."

"Of course you are."

Tamayo grabs two glasses from a cabinet behind her and places them on the table, moving the paperwork to a different location. The two start drinking, glass after glass until the bottle's gone and they're laughing like idiots.

"You're so drunk." Akira barks out.

"So are you! I bet you can't walk a straight line."

"Oh yeah?"

Akira stands up, only to fall back down on his seat causing them both to break out in laughter.

"I-I guess not! Ha ha!" Akira ends up sliding off the chair, still laughing.

Tamayo watches in drunken fascination, deciding to crawl onto the floor with him. Luckily for both of them, it'd been cleaned earlier that day.

"Oh you're so funny." She remarks.

"Oh thank you. That's a great compliment."

Tamayo then crawls onto Akira, laying over him. She then begins to suck and nibble on his lips, and he responds in turn in a similar manner.

"You're still a great kisser." Tamayo says, not giving him a chance to respond as she kisses him once more. "Korra is a lucky girl." Another kiss. "I often wonder if you'd ever love me like that."

There's no kiss this time, but a tear runs down her face.

Akira brings a hand to rest on her cheek. "Tamayo." His voice is soft, and definitely less drunk than before. "Is that what's been troubling you?"

"I'm in love you." She admits, more tears running down her face. "I don't know why I'm telling you like this. Maybe it's because I'm extraordinarily drunk." Tamayo lets out a single scoff. "We've always had a purely sexual based relationship. Why am I having feelings for you now? It doesn't make sense."

Akira hushes Tamayo and holds her close.

"It's ok. It's ok. Let it out."

Akira stays still on the hard wood floor, holding onto the sobbing Tamayo. He eventually decides to pick up his emotional cousin and bring her to the nearby couch. It had naturally been bought for the purpose of overnight crashes.

He lays Tamayo gently on the couch, kneeling beside her.

"P-Please don't leave." She whimpers out.

"I won't. Get some rest. We can talk tomorrow."

"Ok. Good night."

"Good night."

Akira leaves the room to tell Tamako that her sister was going to crash at the place for the night. He receives a shrug in response and begins to close down the building for the night.

With that taken care on, he returns to the room and pulls out two pillows and three blankets. He carefully places one of the pillows under Tamayo's head before draping a blanket over her. He then sets up his makeshift bed by placing a blanket on the floor, laying down and placing his own pillow in the right spot, and covering his body with the last blanket.

He quickly gets up though, to turn off the light, and returns to his spot. Then after that he gets back up again to grab a puke bucket just in case Tamayo wakes up feeling sick. Finally, Akira is able to lay down and stay like that. He waits an hour to listen to make sure Tamayo is asleep before letting his own consciousness drift away.


The next morning, Akira wakes up to the feeling of someone in his embrace. He holds on tighter, letting out a calm breath of air.

"Are you awake?" A voice asks.

"A bit."

The person gives Akira a deep kiss on the lips.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

They sigh and say, "Akira, wake up."

"I am awake."

Suddenly, the person gives Akira a pinch.

"Ow! Ok, I'm awake."

Akira sits up and sees darkness. The last night suddenly comes back to him.

"Tamayo?"

"Yes?"

"Ah."

"I had too much to drink last night."

"Do you want me to leave the lights off?"

"Yes."

The two then sit in silence. This lasts for a minute before Tamayo gives Akira peck on the cheek. Then the corner of his lips. Then his mouth. Akira doesn't stop her, moving things further as he slides his tongue into her mouth.

He stops only to ask, "How long have you felt like this?"

"It was only recently. These feelings just…appeared. I can't explain it. I just thought of how wonderful you are, and my heart seized up in affection."

"Tamayo, I'm far from perfect. I kill, I drink, I've been trained for war."

"I know, and I still love you. You're perfect for a woman like me."

Akira can barely see Tamayo's fuzzy outline, but he can hear her disrobing.

"Right now, I want you to make love to me. No plain sex, no fucking, love. At least just this once. Please."

Akira takes his time to answer. After a tense few minutes, he sighs and says, "Ok. Alright."

"Thank you." Tamayo respond, the relief clearly evident in her voice.

Both of them disrobe and lay together. Akira positions himself above Tamayo and begins thrusting into her immediately. Nothing rough, nor too intense. Just smooth, passionate thrusts and tender kisses along her breasts.

They both reach their climate an hour into the love making and lay in each other's embrace.

"Was that satisfactory?" Akira asks.

"Very funny. Yes, it was good."

"Good to know. Feeling better?"

"Yeah. I think so."

"Good."

"Although I'm sure I'm going to have the worst headache in the near future."

The two get cleaned up before the establishment opens and sit on the couch to continue their previous discussion.

"So…where do you want to go from here?" Akira asks as his cousin downs some pills with some water.

"Well, I…I can't shake these feelings. I tried to while you were away but, the old saying rung true. Absence makes the heart grow fonder."

"You know I'm involved with Korra."

"I do. I don't expect you to break up with her. I just hoped you would…I don't know, give me similar affection now and again? You don't need to constantly clinging to me though, so that'll work in your favor."

"Ok. I guess we can try something like that. This is going to be really odd though."

"Since when have our lives been normal?"

"Fair enough." Akira gives Tamayo a loving kiss on the lips before saying, "I should go. I have a couple things to deal with."

"Alright. I'll see you around then."

The two embrace before Akira leaves the building, leaving Tamayo to let out a sigh of relief. Things could have gone way worse, and she is happy where things ended.


The next few days are...odd, to say the least. Spirits are wandering around and vines have begun to spring up. This has caused more than a few problems for the citizens and businesses.

"What are you talking about!? Five crates of whiskey cost ten thousand yuan, not forty." Tamayo yells at the businessman in front of her.

"I know that was what our original arrangement was, but with the destruction of the distilleries we need to increase prices to compensate."

Tamayo lets out an annoyed sigh. "Are you serious? Have people suddenly stopped buying alcohol? I'd of thought more people would be purchasing drinks with the spirits integrating into our lives."

"While we have had an increase in consumers, it isn't enough to make up for the losses."

"Fine. What's keeping me from purchasing my liquor and booze from the Fire Nation? It's more authentic, and with my connections I can get a very good deal."

"You could do that, but how much is it going to cost just to get the alcohol here?"

"It doesn't matter. I can have members from Wild Fire transport the goods and compensate them with my girls. Can you make such an offer?"

The businessman looks annoyed now.

"Come to think of it, I think that's what I'll do. Your company has certainly helped us in the past, but I think it's time for us to move on. Thank you for your assistance, I'm sure you can see yourself out."

With her last word said, Tamayo lean back in her chair, only to frown as the businessman slams his palm onto the table.

"You think you can just back out of a deal?"

"The one where you try to extort me? Yes. I do."

"You're making a mistake."

"I don't think I am. Get out."

The businessman leaves in a huff, and Tamayo lets out a sigh before shaking her head. She then makes a call to the Fire Nation.

"Hello? Can you get me in touch with Apollos? Tell him it's Tamayo."

A minute later Apollos's voice is heard.

"Hey, Tamayo?"

"Yup. I need some assistance."

"What do you need?"

"I've cut ties with one of my suppliers of alcohol, who mainly got me Fire Whiskey. The vines had destroyed their distilleries and wanted to charge me extra."

"So you need another supplier, someone from the Fire Nation."

"That's correct."

"I know some people. I'm assuming you want my men to transport the goods?"

"If you please. As an incentive, the troops sent with the alcohol will be given a free night with a girl of their choosing."

"That'll get their attention, hah. I can get a couple crates sent your way in…about a week."

"Perfect. Thanks for the help."

"No problem."

The two hang up, and Tamayo takes a moment to relax and breathe. A few hours later Tamayo leaves work early, letting Tamako close up.

On the way home she notices two goons trailing her. She lets out a bored sigh.

Really? Either these idiots don't recognize me, or they do and are hired by that asshole.

Tamayo continues her walk home, keeping ahead of the two idiots. Eventually she makes it to the front door and turns around.

"Alright boys, you followed me this far. What do you want?"

The two step forward, and Tamayo can immediately tell they aren't don't have much in the brains department.

"Our employer wanted us to talk to you."

"I see. Well, seeing as how we're here, would you like to come inside?"

The two goons share a confused look. As they do so, Tamayo opens the door and calls out a couple names. Amako and Kasem step outside.

"Akira not around?" Tamayo asks.

"Nah, he had late night training with Korra. Airbending versus Firebending, Tenzin as referee."

Tamayo nods her head at the explanation.

"These guys causing you trouble?" Kasem, resting a very large protective hand on her shoulder.

"I don't think so. You were just asking for directions, right?"

Amako cracks her knuckles while Kasem broadens his shoulders and makes himself look even more intimidating.

"R-Right. I think I remember where we needed to go. Sorry to bother you."

"Oh, it's no problem. Have a nice night gentlemen."

The two goons bow their heads before leaving.

The three step-siblings enter their home and discuss what just happened.

"Who were they?" Kasem asks.

"I think they were some goons a former business partner sent after me. If so, he wasn't very discrete."

"Want me to go to Mom about this?"

"No, it's fine. I can handle myself. Really I just wanted to see how long they would follow me before trying to attack me. As it would happen, they followed me all the way back home. Idiots."

"Guess that former partner chose some lackluster goons."

"I guess so. Anything left for dinner?"

"There's some lobster crab and fruit left, dig in."

Tamayo does so, eating a decent portion of the dinner before retiring to bed.

A week passes without anything noteworthy happening, and by the end of the week the crates of Fire Whiskey arrives. Tamayo has one crate unpacked behind the bar while the others are put in the deep freezer.

Akira decides to visit his favorite twin after said drinks had been put away.

"Hey Tamayo. How's things?" He asks, taking a seat beside her.

"Things are fine. Just got our latest shipment of Fire Whiskey, at a much better price than our former partner."

"Good to hear."

"Wanna crack open a bottle to celebrate the event?"

"Fuck it. Why not?"

Tamayo runs off and grabs a bottle of the liquid and brings it back. The two manage to drink the entire bottle in a matter of a few hours.

"So, Tamako knows?" Akira asks, trailing kisses along Tamayo's neck.

"Of course. I can't keep things from my twin."

"Of course."

A few hours pass filled with lustful intent, leaving the two occupants once again out of breath and feeling rather drunk. They spend the rest of the day unproductive, laying on the couch taking it easy.

"I need to go be productive." Akira mutters.

"No you don't."

"I do."

"Nope."

"Which one of us is the mature one again?"

"You are."

"Correct, which is why I need to go train."

"You killjoy."

"You love me."

"I do."

Both get dressed and give each other a peck on the lips before Akira leaves.

A few more days pass for the beloved twin. During that time though, she begins to feel odd. Throwing up in the morning and getting cramps. Unfortunately, she comes to the logical conclusion. She goes to a doctor to confirm it.

Thus, she finds herself sitting in her office mulling over the options. She could have the baby, and keep them or put them up for adoption, or…abort it. Whenever thinking of that specific option Tamayo feels terrible.

Eventually though, she realizes what she has to do. She'd definitely be able to support a child, but it would ruin the relationship Akira has with Korra. Her family was accepting of the incest, but the rest of the world obviously wasn't. Not to this extent anyways.

Tamayo decides to take a trip to the Fire Nation, staying at a house owned by one of Jun's old friend's. It gave her the necessary isolation required to go through the ordeal. She then goes to Izumi and brings the problem to her.

"This is very…interesting news. What do you plan on doing?" Izumi asks. Both women sit in the safety of Kensho's Old Office.

"I'm going to have the baby, but I would appreciate it if you raise them here."

"You wish to, what, pass the child off to me?"

"No. I'll pay for the baby's needs and keep in contact. I'll still be their mother, but they won't know about their father until they're older."

"I suppose that's one way to handle the situation."

"It makes it so I can still raise the baby as my own without risking Akira's future. It'll seem like I took a lover in the Fire Nation during my stay here."

"Are you sure this is what you want to do?"

"Yes. I can't bring myself to get rid of my son or daughter, so this is the best option."

"Alright. I'll take your offspring as my ward and help watch over them."

"Thank you, Fire Lady Izumi."

A short while later Tamayo returns to Republic City, feeling a bit more secure now that she has a plan. She steps into her house, feeling drained, and counting herself lucky that no one is currently around.

Collapsing on her bed, Tamayo hopes for the future.
