A/N...hi everyone, well this is chapter four and I'm so grateful for the feedback this story is getting. This chapter is dedicated to those of you who wanted to see more Kori and Kyoshi moments. This is were they meet up again and more happens. WARNING: this has a slight lemon or lime, whichever way you take it and I do hope you find it to your liking. I think that Kyoshi and Kori make a great couple in this story.

Kyoshi wanted to drown in sorrow, wanted to go back in time and protect the ones he loved the most. But that was impossible. What was done was done. Asa, why her of all people? His heart seemed to be breaking and the memories just wouldn't leave him alone.

Seeing Raven in that state once more broke his heart. His little sister was suffering when he should be the one to experience those bad moments in their lives. He sighed as he looked at the ceiling in his room.

What would it have been like to be with Asa, to be with a woman at all? He felt both ashamed and sacred. Here he was a man passed his age of marriage single and still a virgin. 23 springs and he has never graced the bed of a lover. Not that he wanted to sleep with women, he just wished that Asa was still with him, or if she wasn't his chosen one he wished to know who was.

Asa, her sparkly blue eyes that shone with mischief or love when ever they were together. Her beautiful laughter that would lift his spirts up. Her alabaster skin and raven long hair that he loved to touch. All of it gone. Gone because of some power hungry bastard.

Kyoshi stood from the bed and slammed the table as his side in to the nearest wall. Asa...his beloved, his promised taken from him. Raped, beaten...what happened to her after he was dragged out of the room because he was in mortal shock. Why had he been such a coward and not gone back and see what had really happened to his beloved. Did she suffer the same fate as his parents?

He slammed his hands on the wall time and time again. "Why, why, why damn it all, why?" the tears that he had locked away finally began to pour out of him. He dropped to his knees on the cold floor and banged his hands on that.

A guard that passed by stopped and peered inside the room to find the young guard banging his hands on the ground "Asa what happened to you my love?" the guard knew that this was a heartbroken man. And immediately he knew what to do. Closing the door so that the young man wouldn't notice the guard made his way towards the harem.

Kori sat in her bed watching as guards after guards came to get women. She managed to stay far away from them because she didn't want to sleep with anyone but the night before she wasn't so lucky. She was put in the bed of one of the senior guards and she felt disgusted with the older man. The king had been the only man that she had ever slept with and that was that, why was she destined to suffer this fate?. She wondered how long it would be before they took her.

The guard that had watched Kyoshi breakdown walked into the harem and looked at the women that were getting ready to leave or whom were just sitting around. He scanned around the room for the right girl. It was as if fate was guiding this man towards a red head that sat alone in her bed. Trying to hide from them all. She seemed to be perfect for the young Kyoshi.

Walking slowly he passed many giddy women and many drunk guards "idiots" he muttered. Standing before Kori he looked down at the sullen expression on her face "Woman I need your services"

Kori slowly looked up at the man "I'm not feeling well tonight sir"

He frowned "come girl, this is something I'm sure you can cure" he took her arm in his hand and lifted her. Kori yelped and some of the other women stopped what they were doing and watched as the young girl was dragged towards the door. One of the women intercepted the guard "move"

"Sir perhaps I can give you my services"

The guard sighed loudly "I want this one. Now move"

"But that little girl can't give you what I can big boy" the other women were closing in on him trying to pry the young kori from him.

He was tired of this game "Listen, this young girl will be great help for one of our new guards. The young Kyoshi needs a woman in his bed tonight" hearing this the women and kori gasped.

She looked at the man "Kyoshi?"

"Yes Kyoshi, he is a new guard and I think that he needs an outlet for his stress"

"Take me to him" the guard was surprised at her eagerness and looked at the young girl "please take me to him right now"

"You heard the lady sir, you may pass. Go get him kori" the women giggled and the guard walked out of the room with kori. Why did he even bother to approach the woman? Something was telling him that she was the perfect solution to the young guards troubled heart.

Kyoshi just stood in the same position. On his knees while his hands tiredly banged the cold floor. So many memories assaulted his tired mind but he would not forget them. He failed to see the person entering his room and failed to notice when that person brought their hands around his neck "ssshhh" the voice was soothing "it's alright"

He raised his hands and wrapped them around the person's waist bringing that person closer to him. He wept not caring who it was "I can't forget them"

"It's alright Kyoshi, I'm here" Kori felt a knot in her throat watching him cry. She remembered kyoshi being a strong man never crying and always helpful. He would protect her from the men in the village and she was in love with him. Maybe it had been a crush, but she was so attracted to the young man back then. Seeing him like this honored her because Kyoshi who was strong and almost inhuman to the outside world, was allowing her to see a side of him few had the chance at seeing "I'm here for you"

"Don't leave me please"

She hugged him tighter "I wont leave you Kyoshi, I promise"

He pulled away and looked at the beautiful woman before him. She seemed familiar, her long red hair and her green eyes...he knew this person... "Kori?"

"Yes it's me. I'm glad you haven't forgotten me" without thinking he crushed her body to his in a tight embrace "Kyoshi what's the matter?"

"I missed you brat" she huffed in annoyance "what?"

"I'm not a brat" she then took her tongue out at him making Kyoshi laugh "why were you crying Kyoshi?"

He wiped the tears away from his face and stood up "it was nothing Kori, why are you here?"

She knew he didn't want to talk about whatever it was that was making him sad so also stood and walked over to the bed falling on it "I'm your girl for the night" he sharply turned his face to her.

"What?"

"I'm here to please you" she blushed and he sat on the edge of the bed "is there something wrong?"

Kyoshi watched the wall before him, what would give anyone the right to make girls like kori please men as if they were just toys. She was a lovely girl and deserved better. Kori sat behind him on the bed and wrapped her arms around him "Kyoshi I want to make you happy"

He touched her hands and both felt so warm and at ease "Kori you don't have to do this. Especially with me. You are too precious"

She kissed his neck and he shivered at the feeling "but I want to Kyoshi. I think you are the only one that I want to be with tonight. If I go back to the harem I will be passed to another guard"

He turned around and hugged her "you will not go to another Kori. I will talk with the king and.." she put her fingers to his lips and shook her head.

"The only way is if I were to be married Kyoshi. No man wants to marry the women from the harem because of the fact that we get used all the time. So just while I'm still useful let me stay in your bed tonight"

He nodded and pulled the sheets off the bed "but you will sleep next to me. We will not engage in anything but just that kori" she frowned and he noticed. Why would she be upset about that?

But soon she was smiling that smile that dazzled him "alright. Thank you Kyoshi I don't think I was going to be ready to move onto another guard's bed" he kissed her forehead as he laid down. Her blush would not disappear.

"Don't worry Kori, I know that I will be able to keep you from being toss from bed to bed" she nodded and snuggled into his frame inhaling his scent. Lavender.

Kyoshi watched her for a few more minutes until she fell asleep and then he slipped out of the bed. Kori would not be someone that would be played with. He gave her one glace over and then slipped out of the room all together.

Robin laid in bed while Raven stood by the window watching the moon. He wanted nothing more than to learn everything else about her. He sat up "Raven about what happened"

"It's something that I wish not to talk about right now. I'm not feeling well actually"

"come to bed then. I promise I wont touch you or anything" she hesitantly turned around and found his eyes to be on her. Their blue color was intense in the night and his smile was soft and tender. She nodded and walked over to the bed laying down "I give you my word that I wont touch you"

Raven snuggled into the bed "thank you" he watched her for a few minutes until she finally fell asleep. He leaned down and kissed her forehead. She inspired tenderness, protection, possessiveness and on top of that love. She was an enigma that he did not want to give to anyone else. She was his.

He slipped out of the bed and put on his robe. Heading towards the door he spared the lovely Raven an tender glance "I'll be back soon" he whispered.

It seemed that the men were under the same spell. None could sleep and most were in the kitchen trying to find something that would put them to bed fast. Robin grinned as he watched Stone and Logan engage in a game of Milk shots. Those brats were always playing on the safe side. He scanned the entire kitchen and spotted Onaicul...er..Luciano. That would take time before he could get the name right again. The old man nodded towards his king's direction.

"Sir?"

The men all stopped their talking and drinking to spare their king a nod "you don't have to stop on my account. I too need to be here I can't sleep" the men 'Aha' in a loud tone and returned to their things.

"On...I mean Luciano there are so many things that we have to discuss, especially about Raven"

The old man pulled a chair out for Robin and both sat down "I will answer what I can and what I can not you should ask Kyoshi"

"Alright. I'm going straight to the point. She's of Royalty and so is Kyoshi, but why are you three here and not in your planet?"

Luciano stood up "this is something that must be discussed in private sir, if you don't mind please follow me" he also stood and walked out of the kitchen with the old man.

In Luciano's bedroom Robin sat on a chair "why didn't you three come to the palace immediately and tell us of your arrival and who you were?"

"Because the man whom attacked Azarath claimed to be from this planet. As you can see we could not trust anyone with this secret for fear that if found out we would be destroyed. The spaceship we escaped in was one that was used by that man so the coordinates were already set to this planet. We didn't know it was earth that we landed on until days later when a passerby helped Kyoshi and myself with Raven. The change in climate and temperature weakened her body and she was really sick for almost an entire earth month"

Robin understood this, they would trying to survive in a strange place with fear of being found out by this man. But who was this man? "The man you speak of said he was earthling. Now I could do this two ways. You could tell me who he is or I could look it up in our space travel logs"

Luciano looked out of his window "His name is Slade or so he says"

Robin didn't show any kind of emotion or change in his face features. The name didn't trigger anything "I don't know this Slade person you talk about. But Luciano you have my word that I will protect you and the heirs to Azarath" he stood up and walked over to the door "you should have told me about her Luciano. I mean the princess of Azarath is in my bed at this very moment and I could have dishonored her any given time"

"Now that you know this Sir, what are you going to do with my lady?"

Robin smirked "regardless of her station in this world, she will remain mine Luciano. I do not plan on giving her up to you or to anyone else" he was about to leave when Luciano put his hand on his shoulder.

"If you plan on doing this then you should be prepared to deal with a crazed woman" Robin let the door be for the moment and turned to the old man.

Raising his eyebrow "what do you mean?"

"Our women are sacred my lord. The relationships they nurture are very important to their own sanity. If she is to be with a man not of her choosing then she will most likely not receive her chakra"

"Chakra?"

Luciano pulled his shirt collar down to reveal his dark green chakra and the young king looked at it curiously "unlike the men from Azarath who receive theirs when we become of age, the women get theirs when they engage in intimacy. But plain sex is not the answer, it must be meaningful and the souls of both lovers must be connected beyond the physical aspect"

Robin sat once more "you said that Raven and I are bonding or sort of started this bond, if I were to bed her I'm sure she would get hers then"

Luciano shook his head "this is not that simple sire. Even the men can't engage in meaningless sex. If we do so our own Chakra would simply be a decoration, our powers would never be awakened. Indeed my lady and you are starting this bond which we previously thought could only happen among our own people, but it is in the beginning stages. If you do something to break that bond with her then she will be full of sorrow and might die of a broken heart. But once you both solidify this bond and you are not her chosen one she will go mad. Because her chakra would not be given to her"

"This is too much to take in one night. I'm exhausted" he stood up to leave but the door opened before either occupant in the room could utter a word. Kyoshi glared at the king and in one sift stride had him by the neck.

Luciano panicked "lord Kyoshi what are you doing?"

Robin just looked at the other king meeting his glare "Kyoshi what is the meaning of this?"

"I've been looking for you. I demand that you let kori go. I don't see why she must be put through what you are putting her through"

Robin shoved the other king from him"listen here Kyoshi, I did not sell that young woman. It was not me who gave her this fate. My mother bought her as a gift to me and I couldn't object to it because her parents were really in need of money and food. As you can see this planet's soil has been polluted beyond belief and what little earth is left for us to use is not too much. Thankfully the people have managed to cultivate and work the lands once more"

Kyoshi scoffed "Then release her. She is of no use to you"

Robin fixed his robe "no she is not of use to me any longer. But I can't let her go. There is a rule that even my own mother could not object to which estates, if a woman of the harem were to leave it would be when she is claimed by someone. Are you claiming her then Kyoshi?"

The young king stood straight but did not let his glare soften "yes I claim the young woman known as Kori Anders. Now my lord is there any objection?"

Robin grinned and patted the other king on the back "no my lord of course not. Now I must return to my chambers since your sister is all alone and I wish to be with her" with that he walked out of the room leaving a stunned Luciano and a pleased Kyoshi, well not too pleased since he also wished to free his sister from the king.

Saying a soft goodnight to the old man Kyoshi left the room and walked back towards his own. He walked inside and sighed taking his shirt of "where did you go?" if he was startled he did not show it. He looked at the young woman that occupied his bed as she sat there looking back at him.

"I'm sorry Kori I just had something to do" she stood up and walked over to him making him back up a little.

"What was so important Kyoshi? Do you despise being near me?" she bowed her head "is it because I've been used by others?"

His stomach felt on fire. Why would she think like that? He cupped her cheek in has hand and made her look up "why would you think that Kori? I just wanted to do something for you. I spoke with the king and he has allowed you to be free from the harem" her eyes widened and a small gasped left her lips "you are free"

she shook her head many times "but how? The only way as I told you would be if I were claimed" she searched his eyes for an answer and he simply smiled "Kyoshi tell me. Did another claim me?"

He lowered himself so that his forehead was resting upon hers. She was such a wonderful woman and despite the fact that they hadn't seen each other for three years, there was something pulling him towards her. To protect her and be there for her. When his forehead touched hers she blushed and small pants escaped her lips "I claimed you Kori, but you are free to do as you like. You are not meant to be here doing what they had you do"

She brought her hands up and wrapped them around his neck lifting onto her toes to kiss him. He was startled and didn't know what to do. He and Asa never kissed and ever since he was on earth he never engaged in anything close to a relationship with another woman. This was something new and he liked it, but he didn't know how to respond back "thank you" she whispered after pulling away. She had felt him stiffened and knew that maybe she wasn't the woman he wanted.

His hands found themselves landing onto her hips and pulling her forward on their own accord. She flushed scarlet when her small hands landed onto his strong chest. Whatever that kiss was he wanted more. So he leaned down and kissed her this time actually returning the affection. Kori smiled on his lips and opened her mouth to him.

Whatever it was that was making him act like this he really liked it. She pulled away and he wondered if he had done something wrong, but her smile made him think other wise. She brought her hand to the clasp in front of his shirt and undid it. He breathed in deeply and became aware of the scent that she emitted. It was as if she had bathed in flowers lovely flowers that did not overwhelmed his senses. In fact it made him painfully aware of how much he wanted to crush her to him.

Before he knew what was going on he was sitting on the bed with nothing on and she was undressing in front of him. His hands went to her hips once more the minute the dress pooled by her feet and pulled her body towards his. His eyes taking in all that was her. He had seen some women flash him and knew what they held beneath their clothes, but Kori was something else. He laid her down on the bed and laid on top of her. His arms supporting his weight as not to crush her tiny body.

His long braided hair was carelessly thrown over his shoulder and he leaned down kissing her swollen lips. She moaned into his mouth and her hands began to explore the expanse of his back. What was he supposed to do next he wondered? His mouth left hers and began to kiss her jaw and then her neck. One of his hands left her hip and traveled up her body and when he graced one of her harden nipples she arched and let out a moan.

Kyoshi quickly lifted and looked into her half lidded eyes "did I hurt you?" she giggled shyly and lifted her head pecking him once.

"No silly" taking one of his wrist into her hands she guided that hand up to her breast and let it rest there. They were not small nor were they big, but they were just perfect for his hand. He swallowed nervously wondering what it meant to touch her like that and looked at his hand resting there and then looked into her eyes "I liked it very much" she said making him relax.

"I'm sorry for not knowing what to do Kori. I've never done this with..." she silenced him with her lips and made him squeeze the breast in his hand. She moaned and let go of his wrist giving him the okay to continue. He did so and enjoyed hearing her noises of pleasure.

After countless kisses there was a bigger need that he wanted to experience. His lips traveled lowered down her body and stopped right where his hand was kneading her ample breast. He lifted his hand and looked at the harden pebble and then licked his lips. He wanted to taste it, lick it do something with it that involved his mouth, but was this okay? Was it normal to want and do that to her. Kori placed a finger under his chin and made him look up at her "what's the matter?"

"Is it alright if I do this?" he demonstrated by taking the nipple into his mouth and was rewarded with the young woman arching against the bed pressing his face down more. Her moans were answer enough and he did this for quite a while, shifting from one breast to the other.

He grew painfully hard and a bigger need to find release overtook him. What was he supposed to do next? Kori was happy to know that she was going to be his first, but sad that she could not be as pure as he was. But that was not what she wanted at this moment. She sat up making him do the same and he looked at her "Kori?"

She smiled and kissed him on the cheek before guiding his hand to his own apanage that was erected and in need of a place to be put in. He looked on curiously and then she used her other hand to point to her womanhood. She was blushing red because it was odd teaching a grown man she always thought had lovers how or what to do next, but another part of her was excited and honored "you need to...er...be inside me. I want you inside me Kyoshi" her eyes were full of something that he could not understand at the moment.

Kori laid down and parted her legs allowing him to be more comfortable within her legs. His tip touched her and both moaned. Oh by the priestess of Azarath, what is this feeling? He slowly pushed into her and felt himself stretch even more and both kept on moaning. It was a wonderful feeling.

His fingers laced with hers an he pushed all the way in "oh, god" she breathed out. He would have said something equally the same but his mind was somewhere else. He felt his need to release even more at this warm embrace from her and he began to move in and out of her. She wrapped her legs around him and they were both united deeply.

Up in a space pod a woman screamed. What used to be a bond between promised ones was now a broken memory. She convulsed on the floor of the ship as what once kept her going was lost to her. Her blue eyes became dull and she clutched her hands together "Ky..o.." she whispered before sleep consumed her.

A young man approached her form and knelt down picking her up "I'm sorry Asa, but there was never a chance for the two of you" he kissed her forehead and placed her upon a chair. He closed his eyes and cried for the young woman.

Kyoshi laid in bed with Kori sleeping. Her head resting on his chest. His hand was placed on the small of her back and a blush was on his cheeks. That had been one of the best moments in his life and he didn't understand why it had been Kori of all people. He closed his eyes and inhaled. The air still smelled of their scents mingled together. You are so beautiful.

Thank you. His eyes widened and he quickly sat up making Kori fall onto the bed. "What the.." she looked around "Kyoshi what happened?"

He looked at her in the eyes "you answered me"

"Yes only because you said I was beautiful and I mean wasn't I supposed to say that..." she rubbed her sleepy eyes.

"But I didn't say that" she dropped her hands to her lap and frowned.

"You didn't?" there was a sad note in her voice and he cursed himself

Kyoshi nervously laughed "no Kori what I mean is that I didn't say that out loud. How can you have responded to that if you were sleeping?"

What is wrong with him? I heard him loud and clear.

"What?"

Kori blinked a few times "What, What?"

"You said 'I heard him loud and clear'"

She shook her head "I didn't say that out loud either Kyoshi. I thought it, are you in my head?"

Are you in mine?

"No" she snapped then put a hand to her mouth.

He laughed "we bonded" she crossed her hands over her chest and both noticed that she was topless and then blushed at the same time. Heck they had seen more already.

"We bonded? What do you mean by that?"

Kyoshi pulled her towards him and kissed her "you know raven and I are not from this planet"

"Yes I know that"

"well, when the people of my planet find their chosen one they bond so that they could communicate with their minds and read each other's body language. There are other things that we are capable of, but you are from earth so I don't know what would be different. But one thing for sure we have bonded, you are my mate"

Kori giggled "so I can read you mind?"

"Yes, but I will teach you to put up a barrier in case you don't want me to read something that you wish to keep to yourself, not that you will be able to keep anything from me" he grinned and she playfully hit him on the chest. He then remembered something Luciano had told him and turned her around making her yelp in surprise.

"Kyoshi what are you doing?" he kissed her left shoulder blade and she shuddered "are you trying to get me to bed once more my love?" he kept kissing it and his hands wound around her waist pulling her closer to him.

"You carry my mark Kori. You are my chosen one and my mate. We are mated and no one can break this bond but only us. Do you accept me Kori?" he turned her around and she was confused as to what he was talking about. She tried to look over her shoulder and could only see a black spot.

"What mark do I carry Kyoshi?"

"My mark. The one that tells others you belong to me and with me. I don't want to sound possessive but it is just what it is. It's a pale grey full moon surrounded by fiver stars"

She stood up and rushed over to the mirror on his dresser, she turned around and was able to see it "what does it really mean?"

He chuckled "so you knew it meant something? Well, I was born under a full moon on the fifth spring year in the fifth spring month of may according to earthling calendars. It also means that you are my wife and queen of Azarath" she gasped and felt her knees go weak. This was not happening. How was she all the sudden this lucky or fortunate? Could it be possible to actually be this blessed. Can I really be so lucky as to have found someone like Kyoshi and find happiness?

He walked up to her and hugged her from the back "yes Kori, you can be this lucky. But maybe I'm the one who is lucky to have found you"

Kori kissed him deeply and then laced their fingers together "you asked me if I accept you. I do Kyoshi I accept you as my mate" he picked her up and walked over to the bed.

"Then let us continue our bonding". My mate, my wife.

Yes my husband.

A.n And that was you Kyoshi and Kori moment. I hope that you like this. I bet most of you are hoping to see Robin and Raven get together like this ne? Well sorry to burst your bubble but it wont happen like this. Robin has to earn Raven the way i see it he has a few problems with thinking women are his to do whatever he pleases with. But next chapter i will have more Robin and Raven and we finally get to know who truly is inside that pod besides Asa. Come on i gave it away didn't i? So tell me if you liked this one.
