Chapter 2: naga the polarbearpup

But the avatar yet lived, for without the white lotus knowing it, Korra was raised and kept by the members of the red lotus, teaching her all she needed to know while traveling around the world, just like her past life had done. Korra was more then happy with the traveling life, but she would have been even happier if she had a friend... someone who wasn't red lotus she could talk to... Ming hua and P'li were very nice and she could talk to them easily, but they always told Zaheer... who was very nice, do a little protective...

"were just trying to make sure the white lotus isn't gonna find you and take you back... thats all... no need to be allarmed..."

Zaheer said when she complained about him being so protective. She knew that... she had known for 5 years now. Today had been nothing else, she wanted to wander into the mountains to see if she could find a nice secluded, but high spot to train her lavabending, when she fell someone was following her...

"You can come out Ming... I know your there..."

The 10 year old said turning around to face the armless waterbender.

"Good job spotting me, but what are you doing out here?"

Ming Hua asked while she walked up next to her. The 10 year old sighted as she turned her back on the armless waterbender who was also her waterbending teacher.

"I... I wanted to find a nice secluded spot to practice lavabending thats all I wasn't gonna try and..."

She started, but stopped when her seimic scense picked something up close by, something that might be dangerous...

"somethings there, lets hide!"

Korra told her waterbending teacher who smiled at her impressed before she did as her young pupil told her, peeking from behind a tree as a young polardog pup came out of the bush looking scared, 2 big man following it carrying whips

"GET THAT BEAST! ITS GETTING AWAY!"

one of the man called as they chased after the little pup, throwing earth and firebending at it.

"we gotta help it... its never gonna get away on its own?"

korra said as she got out of hiding and threw some fireballs at the man, who blocked it easily and backfired faster.

"okay then, but only 1 element..."

Ming Hua said so that the man couldn't hear her, korra looked up nodding now and got before the polarbear dog smiling.

"Its alright little one, we got you..."

The 10 year old smiled at the creature that nudged her now wiggling its tale at her happily.

"he likes you already, great... lets get a move on!"

Ming Hua snapped as she took the 10 year old by her arm with one of her water tendrills as korra took the polarbear pup by its neck and ran with her, motioning it to follow her, while Ming Hua held off the men. It went well for some time... but the man were strong... and weren't gonna give up easily... thank goodness for the ming hua and korra they hadn't wandered too far from the campside... so the others were soon alerted by the fighting sounds and before they man knew what hit them... they were surrounded by 3 more people...

"You okay girls? Not hurt?"

Zaheer asked with a worried look on his friends as he used A piece of wood to backfire the attacks the man threw at him them hard on the head

"Yeah, get the girl and dog... thingy... out of here... we"ll get them..."

Ming hua snapped as she got in front of them and leaped out at the man with her water tendrils...

"Good... be carefull do... their pochers... and not the easy going kind..."

Zaheer said as he pointed to the man wearing the air bison skin over his shoulders... korrra looked at him shocked...then at her airbending teacher and the man she Saw as her father with a sad look.

"Doesn't the word poucher mean... he hurts innocent animails?"

Korra asked with a pout. Zaheer lookes from her to the polarbear pup with a sad look before he nodded.

"Yeah... im afraid this little one is a orphan now..."

He said with a sad look. The pup looked at hom with a cocked head, its tail between its legs and with a sad look. As if it understood what zaheer had just said.

"Can i keep it then? "

The 10 year old asked with a pleading look on her face, as they watched ming hua and p"li finish off the pochers.

"Well... i'm not sure... it belongs with his own kind..."

Zaheer said with a pondering look, but he smiled when he saw the polarbearpup and the girl both looked at him with a cute look.

"Heer... it could be that this is her animail guide, like aang had appa"

P"li said with a smile now. Zaheer now looked from their young pupil to the polarbearpup, who were both giving him their cutest pout now.

"Ooo okay then... it can stay... but your responsibel for it.."

Zaheer said with a a firm look at korra who now went over to hug him, before she went over to hug her new friend.

"What are you gonna call it korra? Since its yours now you gotta give it a name..."

P"li told the happy 10 year old, smiling at the way she was cuddling her new friend...

"Hmmmmmm... naga... i think i call her naga..."

Korra said after a short moment of thinking at which the young pup waggled her tail happily... also liking the name...

"Sounds good to me... naga it is..."

P"li replied with a smile as they helpes the young girl take the young pup back to their camp after they had driven off the pouchers...

"Your safe now naga... those bad people are gone and we gonna take care of ya..."

Korra told the young polarbeardog as she walked next to it towards the camp...naga waggled its tail now and ran out before them... barking happily as it seemes it wanted to play...

"Seems she wants to play... "

Zaheer smiled as he walked to behind a few rrees to were he had hidden the bags with their belongings, before he got a ball out and threw it to korra...

"Ooooo yeah... naga... go get the ball... "

Korra exclaimed as she threw the ball off a little further into the clearing... at which naga cocked her head... not getting what she was supposed too do..

"Korra... she is just a pup... who has most likely been caged all her life... i think you should try and explain to her what she has to do..."

Zaheer said with a smile as he watched korra try and throw the ball again... korra now looked from zaheer to naga with widen eyes... before threw the ball again and gently started to tell the young polarbear dog what she had to do... which made zaheer smile... the teenager fully trusted them and took their advice really serious... as she should...

"Well... that will keep her bussy after training..."

Ghazan smirked As he slouched between 2 rocks like it was a relaxing chair...

"Yeah... do im concerned about the barking... it could attract unwanted attention our way..."

Zaheer said as he sat down as well with p"li at his side, who looked at him smiling...

"Thats gonna be okay... we never stay in one place for too long... and we can teach it NOT to bark..."

P"li said as she gave her boyfriend a hug... who nodded and returned the hug before they watched how korra started to teach and play her new friend... and as time went by... they helped korra learn her new friend some things... like when it could and couldn't bark... and were it could dig a hole to pee...

"See...naga is such a goood dog, she already understands my commands!"

Korra said smiling after naga had saved them by warning them the white lotus was close by... which made that they had time pack up and get out in time... this happened exacly 3 weeks after the gang had found naga... they were just getting ready to go to sleep, when naga had started to bark, when zaheer and korra had walked over to see why she was barking and to make her quit down, they saw there were several white lotus members close by, partrolling the woods near their base, thanks to naga's warning they had been able to pack up and get away just in time, before they would have been spotted and had to explain who they were and why they were camping in the woods with a 10 year old girl that was OBVIOUSLY not their daughter, so they had been more then pleased with the fact that naga could alert them in case of danger...

"Yeah... it seems we did the right thing taking in naga..."

Zaheer smiled as he rubbed naga over her head... who wagged her tail at him happily... almost making him topple over as she jumped up too lick him... since naga had become quit big in a few weeks time... almost reaching up to zaheers waist by now...

"Yeah... yeah... its alright girl..."

Zaheer smiled as he tried to push naga off off him... which only helped when ghazan threw the ball korra and he had made her off...

"Thanks zan..."

Zaheer smiled as he rubbed his face clean... he and the others liked naga a lot... but they all hated it when naga became a little TOO entosiastic for their taste...

"Hey... no prob... it was either that ore having ming give her a water whip again for trying to lick her..."

Ghazan said with a teasing smile as he looked at ming hua who looked sternly at naga who had come close to the armles waterbender and waggled her tail at her happily...

"Don't you DARE lick me overgrown fleeball..."

Ming hua snapped at naga... who immidiatly grunted sadly and walked off to look for her ball.. sad she couldn't give her other friend a kiss as well as her mistress...

"Ming... why are you always being so mean to her... you hate polarbeardogs...?"

Korra asked as she watched ming hua with a sad look, because she liked her and she liked ming hua, who was her waterbending teacher as well as a good friend... with whom she could talk about female problems...

"No... i jus don't like all that affectionall stuff... "

Ming hua said with a huff as she looked at the 5 year old avatar who now looked at her with a not understanding look...

"Why not? Everyone likes to get hugged...right?"

Korra asked with a pondering look. Zaheer now looked at p"li and the others... who all shook their heads at him sadly... it wasn't time. To tell her that yet... she was too young to understand that...

"Well... not everyone likes that korra... but thats very hard to explain now... you'll understand when your older..."

Zaheer said as he got up and let p"li take off a huffing korra... for her bending training...

And with that i end yet another chapter of the story... i hope you like it...

A/N

The idea of the pochers popped in my mind when i watched the episode "the original airbenders" since polarbear dogs wouldn't live in the area around ba sing se... i thought naga could be captured for sale to a circus ore something...

I figured ming hua and zaheer might have some issues with adding naga to the group... zaheer might be able to get over it do...since he looked like he would easily adapt to the situation... especially if naga were to safe their skins...

The white lotus wasn't there to look for korra since they thought she was death... they were most like just on patroullie...

So that was all for now! Thanks for reading and don't foget to

REVIEUW!
