Chapter 12: Return To Sender

"Good Korra, you're bending is becoming stronger." The elder said to her. Korra bowed to her master thanking him for today's lesson. Its had been one week since Korra left Republic City. She walked back to the hut that she shared with her parents, since her return she hadn't realized how much she had missed them. "I'm home!" Korra called out as she entered through the door. "There you are, how did training go?" Senna asked while she started to cook dinner. "It was good, Master Kellim said that my bending is better" Korra replied. "That's my girl," Tonraq said in approval, "a letter arrived for you, I think its from Master Tenzin." Her father said handing her an envelope. Korra walked to her old room and she opened the letter but it wasn't what she expected, the letter read:

Dear Korra,

Everyone misses you back home. Bolin never stops asking when you're going to come back and spar with him. Asami and I are doing great, she's going to run her father's company and restart it from the ground up. Isn't she amazing? She has a fighting spirit, and I think she might be the one I want to spend the rest of my life with. I'm in love with her. Don't worry you won't have to see us for long, when Sato Industries starts running smoothly again, I'm probably going to move back into Sato Masion with Asami. I'm sorry if I ever gave you any mixed signals I hope you can forgive me.

-Mako

Korra balled up the letter and threw it to the corner of her room. He really wasn't meant for her, she already knew this but some shred of hope kept her believing that they could be together. She sat in silence, and glanced at the letter and sighed, she strode over and picked up the piece of paper uncrinkled it, she didn't know why but she decided to keep to remind her that she was just human. One day she hoped to look back at the letter and laugh.

~ ~ ~Two Weeks Later~ ~ ~

Korra was practicing her fire bending as someone walked up to her. His golden eyes looked over the Avatar as she moved, fire whirling around her. She suddenly stopped realizing that she had an audience, "Iroh!" she squeeled as she ran towards him. "Not too shabby with your firebending there Korra." He replied as he picked her up and swung her around. Iroh was a firebender, Korra had met him when she was forced to move to the Fire Nation to start her fire bending training. He was too years older than her, with golden eyes and black hair that was unruly just like another fire bender Korra knew. "Why are you here?" she asked as he set her back onto the ground. "What I can't visit my favorite Avatar?" he said poking her in her forehead, this made Korra blush, "Actually I'm the reincarnation of all the past Avatar's soo" she said poking him in his chest. "You're still my favorite." He smiled at her making her feel embarrassed. They walked back to Korra's home chatting about what they had been doing before this point, she discovered that Iroh had become a general, one of the youngest one there had been considering the fact that he was only 19. Korra told him all about Republic City and pro-bending. "Iroh? Is that you? My you've gotten big!" Senna said looking him over from head to toe. Korra realized that her childhood friend certainly had changed, his sholders broad and he was now almost a whole foot taller than she was, and he certainly was attractive.

"How have you been son?" Tonraq said shaking his hand. "I've been well thank you for asking." Iroh said in reply. "Would you like to stay for dinner?" Senna said already setting another plate down for him. "I would love too." he said as he helped set the table. Korra's parents chatted with Iroh and commended him on his accomplishments. Korra's mind faded in and out of conversation, still thinking about Mako's letter, she knew she couldn't go on like this anymore, it was too much. She had to finally let go, and this time it had to be final.

~ ~ ~ 3 Months Later ~ ~ ~

Korra stepped off of the sky bison's back inhaling the salty air that surrounded Air Temple Island. "Good to be back." She said smiling. Korra had been gone for about three months, she focused on her bending and she felt as if she was ready to defeat Amon. She felt good, she had been together with Iroh for almost 2 months now and he treated her nicely, unlike another fire bender she had forgotten existed. HE understood her, and didn't argue with her when she was hot-headed, and she liked that. "Hey Avatar why don't you help me with your bags." Iroh said as he carried down Korra's seal skin duffle bag. "Hey it's one bag! Stop complaining." Korra said gently shoving her boyfriend. He grabbed her and placed a light peck on her lips. They only went as far as holding hands and little pecks here and there. As far as Korra knew it was good, wasn't like the kiss she had shared with Mako, but it was a close second. "C'mon let's go." Korra said grabbing Iroh's hand. Everyone waited for them outside of the temple, the air bending family all matching with their orange and yellow Air Alcolyte robes. Next to them stood Bolin, Asami, and...Mako, Korra avoided his stare as they walked up to all of them still hand in hand. "Welcome back." Tenzin said to her, she smiled and nodded her head at her air bending master. "You've had a long journey, lets all catch up over dinner." Pema said as they all walked to the dining room. Korra sat at her old seat in the dining room across from Mako and Asami. She still made no attempt to even look at the boy she once loved.

The table was already set and they all enjoyed a delicious meal Pema had prepared. "So Korra is this your boyfriend?" Ikki questioned and everyone went quiet. "Yes, yes he is, I met Iroh when I was in the Fire Nation working on my fire bending." She said smiling at him as she grabbed his hand. She looked at all of them and they were all smiling at her except for Mako who seemed to look at her with disgust. The rest of dinner went by in a flash, everyone seemed happy for Korra and she was also happy with what she had at the moment.

Korra weaved her way through the air gates, this time she was gentle and flowing, it was like a dance that made Korra feel gentle, unlike the first time she had tried it. When she made her way out of the air gates she stood face to face with Mako who had his arms crossed over his chest. "We need to talk." His stern tone took Korra by surprise. "What is it?" Korra said keeping her voice calm and collected. "Don't pretend like you don't know!" Mako yelled at her. Korra stood in shock as Mako's continued to yell at her. "What are you talking about?" Korra replied her voice still calm. "That guy!" Mako growled. "That guy happens to have a name, and it's Iroh" she said, her voice starting to edge into an angry tone. "I don't care what his name is! Why is he here?" smoke started to rise from his palms. "He's my boyfriend, I don't really see anything wrong with him being here to support me!" Korra screamed, "you just can't stand the idea of me actually being happy can you?" she questioned him, "I left 3 months ago to get away from this, but you really just can't stand it can you?" Without saying another word he grabbed her face and pressed his hot lips around hers.

She stood in shock not knowing what to do, she bended water and dropped in all over him in a mini tidal wave. "How dare you." She screamed running away.

Asami Sato watched this from the window in her room, her green eyes burning with envy.
