*Author's note: WHAT? FINALLY ANOTHER NO IS FOR NAGA CHAPTER? hahaha yes its true! After a terrible bout with writers block I think I came out with a good next chapter. Got some ideas from an awesome deviant art piece (pretty much the shit and sit joke) and just generally watching tLoK and tLA. This one is a little shorter than the first, however it is not lacking in content! I hope you guys all enjoy this as much as the other chapter!
Don't really think I have anything else to say... if I do I'll just add it in.
All the stuff except my actual story belong to the great Avatar creators.
Korra awoke to a horrible smell and the sound of trickling water. She sat up and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. There are no streams here... what the heck. She arose and looked around the room. To her horror, she watched as the baby concluded peeing against the wall and came to a seat in front of Korra. Her tail wagged vigorously.
"Ah! NO! Bad baby!" Oh no they are so going to kill me for this. She gave the baby a look of disappointment and waterbended the pee up and out the window. She quickly shut the window shutters when she heard the pee splash on an innocent bystander walking by the window. Nice one, Korra.
Korra turned and surveyed the baby. "Now what am I going to do with you?" She wondered.
bk! Naga looked up happily. "No you don't get a say in this you troublemaker."
"Ah I see that the pot is calling the kettle black now." Katara walked into the room with a grin on her face.
"sifu Katara!" Korra hurriedly stood at attention.
"The moment I heard that poor Tenko got hit in the head with pee coming from your window, I knew that you were up." She opened the shutters again. "And if I didn't know any better, I would think that you have it out for poor Tenko." Katara turned to Korra and put her hands on her hips. "He's the one that also fell through the roof."
"Oooooh no." Korra avoided Katara's gaze. "I... I should go apologize."
Korra attempted to make her way past Katara.
"And are you just going to ditch your new friend here?"
"Well what am I supposed to do?" Korra turned to the dog. "Stay."
Katara laughed. "That won't work. You have to train her so that you CAN leave her alone. And Tenko understands that you didn't mean it."
Korra sighed. "Where do I start?"
"Let's start at the peeing part."
The baby paced and had a pained look on her face. It was in the evening of that day and she was potty training the baby. Katara watched her from the doorway with the White Lotus commander.
"She's teaching that baby polar bear dog rather quickly."
"Psh, I'll believe it when I see a potty trained polar bear dog. They aren't domesticated animals!"
"But commander, just look at their interactions. There's an understanding between them, they can feel each other."
The commander just rolled his eyes. "They understand each other because they are both trouble makers!"
Katara pretended not to hear that last comment. "You know, the only other person I've seen with that kind of bond was... well it was Aang and Appa."
"Well she IS the avatar..."
"NO! NO! Bad Baby polar bear dog! I said sit not shit!" Both heard Korra yell.
Both looked over to see the baby wagging her tail gleefully, apparently very proud of the mound of poop that it left behind. The baby then sat.
"No! Don't sit now!" Korra yelled at the baby as she brought her hand to her face in frustration.
The commander shook his head and Katara looked away.
"Almost reminds me how bad Appa was with his business."
"I don't even want to know."
They were silent for a moment, not looking at Korra cleaning up the poop. They heard Korra talking to the baby.
"At least you didn't let go of that pee I've been making you ho-" Korra suddenly went silent. "AGH YOU WERE WAITING FOR ME TO SAY THAT WEREN'T YOU!"
Both looked over again, this time to see Korra covered in pee. She looked up at both of them. "I guess I made her hold it too long."
Katara laughed.
"Child, maybe she'll listen to you better if she had a name? You can't keep calling her baby polar bear dog forever."
Korra scratched her head. "How about Foo Foo Cuddlypoops? Since he's so cuddly." She gave a troll like smile.
"Well why doesn't she name it No? That's all she says to it anyway." The commander smirked under his breath.
"Ah that's a fine idea Commander. The ancient water tribe word for No was Naga. That sounds like a fine name now doesn't it Korra?" Katara smiled when the commander face palmed.
"I like it." Korra said as she stroked the baby's fur coat. "Naga, don't pee on me ever again."
Naga lifted her head and began to lick Korra's face in acknowledgement. Korra laughed.
"Well at least I won't have to clean the pee from my face."
Both Katara and the Commander turned away in disgust.
"Well if you are my avatar animal guide as Sifu Katara said, I guess I'm going to have to take you to all my favorite spots."
Naga was sitting in front of Korra. A month had past and she was already looking bigger.
Wow she grows faster than me. Her front legs were starting to become more defined and her back legs more lean. She had almost doubled in size. Her barks were not the baby squeaks that Korra was used to, but instead they sounded like actual barks.
"And to celebrate passing my water bending tests, I'm going to take you outside the camp!"
Naga looked up, pretty interested in what she was saying. They had grown close in the past month, over the potty training and the simple command training that they did every day after bending training. Wherever Korra went, Naga followed. When Korra was sad, Naga acted sad. When Korra was angry, there was no one else that could approach her animal guide. Korra even came to treating Naga like a diary, telling her about everything that went on during the day and how she felt about it. Katara had told her that Avatar Aang was the same way with his sky bison, Appa. Katara had also told her about all the trouble they got into, and all the bonding that resulted from it.
So I'm just keeping up the tradition by taking Naga outside. Korra rationalized.
She made her way to the fence with Naga right behind her. Korra bended some snow and earth out from under the fence and brought Naga underneath.
"Now Naga there's this ice peak that during sunrise makes the sunlight separate into all these different colors, but only for an hour or so. That's what I'm going to show you." They made their way away from the camp. Korra squinted her eyes. Off in the distance she could make out the peak.
"Let's go I can see it!"
Korra began to run to the peak with Naga in close pursuit.
Korra and Naga got to the peak at the optimal time. The peak diffracted the sunlight into all the different colors. Naga sniffed at the light curiously. Korra laughed.
"It's pretty neat isn't it?"
Naga wagged her tail. Rah! She agreed.
Korra laughed and stood back to let her friend investigate the colors.
"Did you hear that? I could have sworn that there's another one around here somewhere."
Korra's ears picked up something coming from around the other side of the peak.
Another one of what?
Korra curiously shimmied along the side of the peak until she got in view of what she had wanted to see. Water tribe hunters stood skinning the carcass of an animal that looked to be a polar bear dog. Korra immediately headed back to Naga, who was still playfully sniffing the colors.
"Come on girl, we need to leave."
But Naga would have none of it, the colors were too interesting.
"Let me just do some recon and check it out."
Korra heard the same voice speak up again.
And now they're coming.
Korra picked up Naga and dove to the nearest snow bank to hide.
No one would ever understand a domesticated polar bear dog, especially not these hunters.
Naga wrestled out of Korra's hands however and made her way back to the light, and into the view of the hunter doing recon. His eyes widened as he began to make his way back to get his friends.
I can't let him get to his friends.
Korra brought the snow up around his ankles and froze it to trip him. Terrified, the hunter looked back to see Naga with a paw raised, a funny trick that Korra taught Naga to greet people with. He cried out in desperation as he got his feet free and ran back to his friends.
"I found a polar bear dog, and it bended and froze water around my ankles to try to take me out!" Korra heard him cry to his friends.
Oh no... what have I done?
Korra listened closely, not wanting to show herself in the process. The other hunters were laughing at his plight.
"Why don't you show us, eh Tarka?"
"Fine! I will!"
A crowd of hunters made their ways around the peak to see Naga. Naga looked up and began to raise her paw. The man jumped behind his friends in fear.
"It's going to bend! Just you watch!"
Oh it's going to bend alright.
Korra made a fissure in the ice and directed it towards the hunters. The ice began to crack and the hunters stumbled.
Rah! Naga greeted them. Korra then shot the water that was present beneath the ice up through the fissure and onto the hunters.
"It really is bending!"
"O spirit, have mercy on us!"
"Quick throw the pelt away, maybe it will leave us alone!"
The hunters began to shout. In the confusion, Korra also produced a fish and attracted Naga over back to her.
"Now it's time we get out of here." She began to run with Naga beside her. "And no telling anyone about this alright?"
Both ran off together back to the camp.
