Chapter 11: Leaving
Why...Why did he kiss me...? Korra thought to herself as she walked though the streets of Republic City. Passer-byes stared at the Avatar wide eyed, but she payed no attention to them, she let the tears fall freely down her cheeks. Korra payed no attention to where she was walking and when she looked up it was too late she ran face first into someone. "Hi Uh-vatar." She only knew one person who called her that, she looked up to see Tahno.
There was something different about him. His hair no longer stood up, it now lay flat against his face, his appearance no longer overly-confident, dark circles under his eyes. "Tahno what happened to you?" Korra asked wiping the tears from her face. "I should be saying that to you." Tahno replied with a weak smile. "C'mon Uh-vatar." he said lightly grabbing her arm and dragging her into a low lit restaurant. She didn't resist she took a seat across from him at a table in the corner. "Tell me what's going on Uh-vatar." Tahno said looking into her eyes. "Everything" Korra replied as putting her head down on the table. "You know Korra, there are a lot of things to be thankful for." He said as she lifted her head up to look at him. He brushed the flat bangs out of his eyes. "No there isn't." She replied her tone dismal. Tahno got a frustrated look on his face, "Look Uh-vatar, there's always a lot to be thankful for. Look at me, I have no bending, no job, barely getting by, but I'm still alive. Amon didn't kill me, and for that I'm thankful." Korra sat silently as he continued to speak, "we all need a break sometimes, even the almighty Uh-vatar." He smiled at her.

Korra came back to Air Temple Island when it became dark, having talked to Tahno for hours, he really helped her open up her mind, she knew what she had to do. He wasn't as bad as she thought he was. She walked into the house and found everyone seated around the dinner table. "Korra! Where have you been all day!" Tenzin said glaring at her as she walked into the room. "I just roamed around for a bit..." She stopped in her tracks as she saw Mako with his arm around Asami, both of them looked up at her. "Korra you know you're not healed enough to be out all day." Pema said disapprovingly.
Korra took a few more steps into the room, she cleared her throat, "Tenzin I want to go back home." She said courageously. Everyone's eyes widened, and Mako's mouth hung open in shock as silence filled the room. Ikki chimed in her little voice squeaking, "But Korra this is your home!". All of the airbending children ran up to her and wrapped their arms around her lets. "You can't go Korra!" Meelo screamed. "Korra why do you want to leave so suddenly?" Tenzin asked calmly. "I'm not strong enough to defeat him" she replied honestly, "one day Ia'm going to have to face him again, so I have to go back, I have to go back and train. There are too many distractions here, I need to go back. I will even go to the White Lotus and explain it to them." There was a long silence, no one spoke, Tenzin finally made his decision, "Okay." he said to her. "I will come back stronger and I will defeat Amon."
"When will you be leaving?" Bolin questioned her. "Tommorow, if that's alright with you Tenzin?" She looked at him and he nodded, "I will prepare Oogi to take you." Korra took her seat at the table trying to enjoy her last night with everyone. Mako's only kept his eyes on her the whole entire time. By the time dinner was finished Korra returned to her room and tried to get some rest. Korra sat on her bed taking out her hair clasps, and laid in bed until exhaustion finally made her pass out. Korra woke that next morning feeling a heaviness inside her heart. She pushed it aside as she started to get ready, she threw on her usual Water Tribe clothes and grabbed her fur pelt before walking outside. She met Tenzin outside as he stood by the gigantic air bison. "I will do my best Tenzin. And I will come back to defeat him I promise." she said as she started climbing onto the Oogi's back. "KORRA WAIT!" someone yelled to her, Mako came running out. Out of breath he tried to speak, "Tenzin please let me get a moment with Korra." He asked panting. Tenzin gave Mako a stern look and he walked away. "Korra why are you leaving." Mako grabbed her and pulled her off, she tried to make him release his grip on her. "I have to go Mako." she said sternly. "Please stay," he begged "Meelo, Jinora, Ikki, they need you, Bolin needs you here...I need you." His golden eyes pierced her ocean blue ones. Korra fought back the feelings that were creeping back into her chest. "It's no good for me to be here Mako. I need to train, and focus on beating Amon. I just can't do that here" her voice came out in a whisper. Mako hugged her as tight as he could, at this moment he realized what it would be like if he would've lost her, "please" he whispered into her ear. Korra stood frozen against him and tears fell from eyes.
"I need to go...I'll be back" she turned and got back onto Oogi's back. "Wait Korra," Mako said to her again, "take this with you." He said as he handed her his red scarf. "Mako I keep this." she tried to hand it back to him, "Its only a borrow. Give it to me when you come back." She gave him a half heart-ed smile and Oogi started rising into the sky, Korra waved good-bye as they flew away. When he could no longer see her he whispered to himself, "I love you Korra."
