Author's note:

Hello again readers, sorry for the delay but here's the promised chapter.

I received a review about Korra's speech, I'll try to keep it in mind to have her speech be very crappy when she talks to Asami :P

On another note, I am receiving complaints about my OC, Axis, to be honest, I have one thing to say about it.

This is my fanfiction, I created it, I take the freedom to add other people in it when I think the story can use it.

On the other hand, I do receive positive reviews and PM's about my OC as well, which I am happy about.

I am glad you're all honest (at least I hope you all are) and for those who dislike Axis, she won't appear as much as she did in the beginning.

Have no fear, Korrasami will happen!

Stay awesome everybody!

Chapter 7

Korra smiled brightly at the other woman and nodded. "Alright. When... you want to start? I think, tonight?"

Asami would've loved to kiss the other woman right there and then, but she fought the urge to give in and simply nodded instead. "S-sounds good... yes..."

The two gathered all their things and Korra put a self made sling around Asami's neck so she could rest her injured shoulder. They made their way back to the docks, Korra waved at her father that stood at the shore of the white sandy beach. He and the other men had been busy gathering recourses. Fresh drinking water, food and some other materials. They were busy packing everything to load it on the ship.

When the girls got back on the ship, they noticed it had been cleaned. The deck was free of any blood stains and any other signs that there had been a huge fight just a day ago.

The two decided to head back to their quarters. Asami was still not feeling all to well even though the wounds were attended to every day. Korra made sure they didn't get any worse. They would leave a scar, no doubt about that but the Southerner was dead set on making it as small as possible.

The heiress sat down on their bed and watched Korra put her satchel down on the oak desk. She smiled at the tanned teen who instantly returned it with one of her own. Korra walked over to her and sat down on the bed as well. "I... check... you?" she asked, pointing to some of Asami's bruises.

"You... want to examine me...?"

Korra nodded. "If Sami no mind?" she gestured from her head to her toes. "Up, down, check. All."

She chewed on the inside of her cheek nervously. She wanted to check her injuries. A waterbender was capable of finding injuries that were deeply hidden in the human body. What they were also capable of was, finding out pregnancies. Asami was scared to death that Korra would find out that she would be pregnant.

It would destroy her completely if Korra would tell her she'd be pregnant from one of the beasts that had raped her. She was scared but on the other hand, she needed to know. So she nodded. "Alright..." her voice was soft and hesitant but she allowed the Southerner to help her. She knew by now that this form of healing worked best on skin contact, so she let Korra help her undress.

She couldn't help it but she started shaking. Korra noticed and took both of the pale hands in her own. "Sami...? You okay? I... not hurt... you..." she said with a gentle but reassuring smile. She looked at the damaged woman and squeezed her hands once.

"I... I'm sorry..." she muttered. "Just... bad memories when..." she swallowed hard. "When... I was undressed... they..." she looked at their joined hands and couldn't stopped a few tears from escaping her.

Korra let go of one of Asami's hands and used it to wipe away her tears. "Sami safe now. Trust Korra."

Asami couldn't help but smile through her tears. She let the tanned hand remove the wetness from her face. "I trust Korra." She let go of Korra now and took a deep breath. She released it a few seconds later and slowly lowered her dress with Korra's help. The sling was removed and put aside along with the dress. She held the arm of her injured shoulder and laid down on the bed. With a soft groan she laid down on her stomach.

She sighed in relief when Korra used the glowing water on her back. It was such a pleasant sensation. She never felt anything like it in her life before. Which wasn't that strange knowing she hadn't met that many benders before. Water Benders were a rarity. Especially with healing abilities. Add the fact that they spoke a completely different language, with here and there an exception.

Not that Asami had many injuries in her lifetime. Her father kept her hidden at their estate for most of her life. Until she reached the right age. She was sixteen when she left the estate for the first time. She remembered it well. It was warm that day. The sun was shining down on the people below the heavens. She had gone to the market with her mother. She was amazed by everything. The other children she saw. All the strange creatures she had never seen before. It had been an amazing day.

She flinched when she suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder. She immediately relaxed again when she saw Korra look at her with concern in her eyes. Her lips curled slightly. "Sorry... I was dreaming..." she said with a soft voice.

"No troubles." Korra said and used both hands to help Asami roll over onto her back. She was completely exposed under the gaze of those beautiful Azure eyes. She had been naked as well at the hot springs but this felt different.

Tanned hands moved smoothly over her skin. She couldn't help but blush from being handled so gently. One of Korra's hands would gently press on bruised parts of Asami's body while the other was glowing a bright blue and would slide to the bruise to lessen it's visibility. She made smaller ones disappear and the bigger ones, especially those around her abdomen and ribs, grew smaller once she worked on them.

The Southerner reached her abdomen and the heiress braced herself for the worst. She clenched the sheets in her fists when Korra's hands moved tenderly over her flesh. She kept an eye on the younger woman. She had her eyes closed and focussed on her abdomen. Asami's heart started to beat a mile a minute. She started to feel sick and her breaths became shallow.

"K-Korra...?" she asked, the fear in her voice obvious.

"Mhnnn... yes?" she waited a few seconds before she opened her eyes and looked at the damaged woman.

"Is... is something wrong...?"

She smiled warmly down at the vixen. "Torn. Inside. I fix that."

She let out a deep sigh of relief. Thanking the Spirits for not being with child. Her heart calmed down as well and she closed her eyes. The soothing feeling of Korra's healing taking away her pain. She felt the water being bend to cover her abdomen. But it didn't stop there. She felt it spread lower, down to her privates she blinked a few times and looked at the Southerner.

She had her glowing hand on her stomach and the other on the bed. The glow was still spreading even though the tanned hand remained still. She could feel it spread and gasped out loud when it reached her lower lips.

Korra looked at her friend and saw fear in her eyes. "Sami... not be scared... you injured there. Needs healing..." she comforted her and she received a nod. Of course she knew it would be unpleasant but the torn and damaged parts needed fixing.

Asami gulped and tried to breathe in and out regularly. Whatever Korra was doing, it was working. The stinging pain she had felt almost constantly since she was captured, slowly faded away. After a couple more minutes, Korra bent the water back into a cup that stood on the nightstand. She quickly grabbed the sheets and covered her friends nakedness.

She helped her sit comfortably against the pillows and Asami smiled sweetly at her after she was done. "Thank you, again." She said with a soft voice.

Korra nodded and just returned the smile. "hungry?" she asked suddenly.

Asami hadn't yet realized that she in fact, was rather hungry. She felt her stomach growl ever so slightly after Korra's question. "Heh... I guess I am." She smiled sheepishly and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.

"I some get out galley." She hopped off the bed and headed to the door. "Soon back!" she said before she disappeared out of the door.

The heiress cuddled the sheets tightly. She tried to take in as much of Korra's scent as she possibly could. She hummed softly to herself and felt slightly giddy when she remembered her friends promise. Korra would teach her how to kiss.

There was no denying it anymore. She thought the Southerner was extremely attractive, but the feeling she had in her chest each time her tanned hand touched her pale skin. Or looked at her with those amazing blue eyes, she felt her legs grow weak. Her heart raced. Is this what being in love felt like? She had never felt like this before. Be it with a man or another woman. Or is it just because I never had any close friends? That I love the attention she's giving me? She didn't know but she was sure that their 'practice' would tell her more about how she truly felt.
