Chapter Three

A Sister's Worry

When Korra was out working with the Task Force, Kanna spent most of her time helping Pema and Tenzin with their three rambunctious children. Sometimes though she would go walking around Republic City, trying to familiarize herself so she wouldn't get lost if she ever went into town for something by herself.

Walking into Narook's Seaweed Noodlery she smiled slightly at the sight that met her, there was Bolin with his mouth stuffed to the max with noodles, sitting next to him was his brother Mako and the girl Korra envied, Asami Sato. When Bolin saw her he waved her over, offering up the seat next to him with a noodle filled smile.

Kanna giggled lightly, rolling her eyes at Bolin's silly antics before ordering herself a small bowl of noodles and something to drink. Looking across the table she smiled pleasantly at Asami. "Hello, I don't think we've been properly introduced. I'm Kanna."

Asami nodded as if she already knew that, her smile showing of her pearly whites. "Yes, Korra's younger sister. I'm Asami Sato; it's a pleasure to meet you." Asami said, reaching out and shaking Kanna's hand.

"Likewise." said Kanna politely. When her noodles can she smiled and dug in, finishing the whole bowl in less than three minutes then contently drinking her tea, blinking in confusion at the other three occupants of the table when they just stared at her. "What, do I have something on my face?" she asked, reaching up to see if a noodle had gotten away or something.

"No not that, it's just… I think that's the fastest I've ever seen someone eat a bowl of noodles here." said Mako, surprised that she had ate them faster than even Bolin could.

Kanna blushed; a small hiccup escaping her from the speed at which she had ate her meal. "Oh… sorry about that… I hadn't eaten anything since yesterday and I was starving…" she laughed sheepishly and went back to sipping on her tea, her blush still very prominent.

The boys both laugh, understanding how that goes sometimes, though Asami just blinked and smiled awkwardly.

Great, her first impression is I'm a slob. Well could be worse, I could have had a noodle hanging out of my nose like Bolin does. Pausing at that thought Kanna focused on Bolin, realizing that he did indeed have a noodle hanging out of his nose she fell over laughing, clutching her sides.

"Wha- what are you laughing about?" Bolin asked, oblivious to the thing wiggling whenever he talked.

Mako and Asami joined in on the laughter though Kanna was the only one on the floor, her sides starting to hurt from all the giggling.

"Seriously guys, what is it?" Bolin asked again, his face full of confusion.

"N-N-Nose…. N-N-Noodle…. Ahahahahahaha…" Kanna laughed, trying so hard to stop but falling over again when Bolin went cross eyed to find the noodle.

Another five minutes of mad giggling and a bit of teasing aimed at Bolin later, Kanna had finally stopped laughing, though she had to avoid looking at Bolin or she would crack up again. The laughing fit seemed to break the ice between Asami and Kanna; they talked about all different sorts of things while Mako and Bolin talked about the upcoming tournament. When it was time to leave Bolin offered to walk with her to give Mako and Asami some alone time.

Walking along Kanna was content as she could be, she had made a new friend, laughed her butt off and now she was walking with Bolin and sometimes his hand would accidentally brush hers, sending tingles up her arm. Shaking her head she tried to ignore it, instead focusing on the city around her.

Children were running around and playing their games, an older couple was walking hand in hand and smiling at each other like they were still young and in love, and the sky was turning a beautiful shade of purple. The day had been one of Kanna's favorite to date, but remembering that Korra was going on a task force mission that night left a sour taste in her mouth, worry for her sister making her frown.

"Kanna what's wrong?" Bolin asked, having seen her face go from happy contentment to worry in an instant.

"Korra is working with the task force tonight… I know she's the Avatar and she's strong and all… but I still can't help but worry about my sister." Kanna said, fiddling with her braid and nibbling on her lower lip.

"I can understand, I'd feel the same way in your position. But you have to believe in her skills and trust she'll stay safe." he said comfortingly.

Kanna sighed, looking over at him and smiling lightly. "Thank you Bolin, you always seem to be able to calm me down."

"What can I say? I have a way with the ladies!" Bolin said, flexing his arms and winking at her playfully.

Kanna dissolved into another fit of giggles, pushing him playfully then running off, her laughter ringing after her while Bolin tried to catch her. Thinking quickly she ran towards a pond, using her bending to allow her to walk on the water. Standing at the center of the pond she blew a raspberry at him and laughed. "I'd like to see you get me now!" she teased.

Bolin smiled, using his own bending to raise some stones for him to walk to her with. "I'm going to get you now Kanna!"

"Crap I forgot about that…" she mumbled, moving quickly to try and dodge him, but this time Bolin was faster, scooping her up with a great laugh.

"Surrender now or you're going for a dip!" he teased, holding her loosely over the water.

Kanna squealed, struggling against him. "Let me go!" she laughed.

"Never!" he started getting ready to throw her in, swinging her out over the water a bit.

"Then I won't be the only one going in!" she yelled, twisting and turning until she looped her arms around his neck and flipped them both into the pond, sputtering and laughing when they surfaced.

Bolin laughed, splashing at her and shaking the water out of his eyes. "That was a dirty move and you know it!"

"Hey it's your own fault for threatening to throw me in!" Kanna laughed, using her bending to bring herself and Bolin up out of the water and onto the shore, pulling as much of the water off them as she could.

"Now I know how a half drowned rat feels." Bolin joked, shaking his head free of water.

Kanna just chuckled, rolling her eyes at him as they started walking again. When they were just outside of the Air Temple, Kanna turned and smiled. "Thanks for walking me home Bolin, you really didn't have to."

Bolin smiled, reaching up and pulling a leaf out of her hair. "Hey, I wanted to. Plus I didn't want to deal with Mako and Asami smooching all the time. Besides I had loads of fun."

Blushing Kanna tucked some hair behind her ear, looking up at him shyly. "I had fun too, well I had better get inside." She said, looking at the door somewhat sadly.

"Alright… goodnight Kanna." Bolin said with a small smile, pulling her into a hug.

Though Kanna was initially surprised she was also very happy, hugging him back and breathing in his earthy scent. "Goodnight Bolin." She said, smiling up at him sweetly before slipping through the temple doors and sighing happily. As she started walking to her room though, she was joined by Jinora and Ikki.

"Isn't that boy part of Korra's team?" asked Jinora with a smile, noticing Kanna's blush at the mention of Bolin.

"Yes he is. His name is Bolin." Kanna said, trying to act completely normal, not wanting the girls to have something to tease her with like they do Korra.

"He's cute; doesn't Korra like the other brother? The tall, dark and brooding one?" asked Ikki as she bounced around Kanna.

"That would be the one. He has a girlfriend now though. She's nice and I can see why he likes her, but I think he kinda likes Korra too." Kanna said, remembering the looks she had seen Mako and Korra give each other. Excusing herself before the younger girls interrogated her for her secrets; Kanna went to her sister's room, glad that Korra was still here. "Getting ready to go?" she asked, noticing the new gear Korra was putting on.

"Yeah, we are raiding an Equalist Training facility tonight. Tarrlok had some of his men stake it out and feels that tonight would be a good time to strike." Korra said, tightening the laces on her arm guards and flexing her hands to make sure they fit proper.

Kanna sighed and sat down next to her sister, worry in her eyes. "Just promise me you won't take huge risks that might end up with you getting hurt, alright?"

"Kanna, don't worry so much! I'll be fine and I'll have a whole team of benders to watch my back." Turning Korra pulled Kanna into a one armed hug, her face full of confidence.

After Korra left Kanna sat in her room, still worrying about her sister and hoping she would stay safe. Jinora and Ikki came in and all of them sat together, Kanna telling them stories about when she and Korra were their age and smiling as the girls fell asleep. When Tenzin came looking for them Kanna helped him put them to bed, tucking the blankets snuggly around them then heading her room.

When she found out that Korra had challenged Amon to a midnight duel on Aang Memorial Island, Kanna hurried to her sister's side, begging her not to do this.

"Kanna, I have to put a stop to Amon. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine." Korra said confidently, but Kanna could tell that she was worried, if not a little scared.

Kanna threw herself at Korra, hugging her tightly. "I know you have to do this… I don't like it, but I'm not going to stop you. Just… please stay safe Korra."

Korra hugged her sister back and nodded before jumping in a boat and speeding her way to the island.

Starring after her sister's retreating for Kanna sent up a silent prayer, a feeling of dread that she just couldn't shake making her want to have Tenzin stop Korra from going alone. "Tenzin… I'm worried… how can we know Amon won't bring his chi-blockers? Korra could be walking into a trap."

"We have to trust your sister's judgment…" Tenzin said, his voice strained from his own worry.

Turns out that Amon had hid in the darkness before he and his chi-blockers ambushed Korra, knocking her unconscious and leaving her on the cold ground. After Tenzin retrieved her from Aang Memorial Island and they headed home, Kanna held onto her sister, her heart breaking at how shaken Korra was.

That night Kanna stayed in her sister's room, comforting her and holding her shaken form. Korra had been scared out of her wits, looking into the mask of the man who wanted to destroy her and take her bending away. While Kanna hadn't experienced it herself she could imagine what a scary experience it would be.

After that night Korra took time off from the task force and spent nearly all of her time training with her team, determined to be at her best. Kanna was glad to see her sister almost back to normal, a determined Korra she could hadn't, but an emotionally distraught one was a completely different story. Now if things could just stay calm and quiet until after the Tournament's end.

Of course wanting something doesn't mean that's how it will turn out.
