Chapter Eight: Safe and Sound but evil brewing back home.
Kai rode as fast as he could back to the Palace with Korra in his arms. For a moment he thought he felt her move, He looked down and sour that she was clinging on to his shirt as thou it was for dear life. This made Kai's heart pond fast, Faster then it usually would.
"Raava" Korra whispered,
Kai sighed she was probably dreaming about Raava the light spirit. He finally came to Palace door and knocked loudly. Everyone gave him a hand into getting Korra to her chamber. Kai then asked Pama to get hot water and towels and Tenzin to get bandages. Pama got the water then asked Mako and Izlee to heat it with there fire bending. Kai then mixed some medicinal herbs together and placed them on Korra's woad then bandage's it up.
While he was doing so he herd Korra stur and he could swear she whispered "Kai…Kai" with her hand reaching out,
Kai then took her hand in his own "I'm right here Korra".
All night he stayed by Korra's side long after everyone went to bed, He felt tired so crawled on to the bed next to Korra and fell asleep. Korra awoke the next morning feeling stiff and her arm was still hurting from last nights wolf attack, but nothing prepared her for who was sleeping next to her
"GAHA" she yelled waking up Kai and falling out of the bed.
Kai scrambled to his feet and explained him self "It's okay I bounded your woad, stopped your bleeding and didn't try anything"
Korra didn't know what to say but instead of saying thank you she snapped "if you hadn't runaway this wouldn't have happened" she said angrily,
Kai started fuming "well if you hadn't lost it I wouldn't have runaway"
This put Korra in a bit of a pickle she thought then said "well you shouldn't have been in south wing" she argued looking straight at Kai,
Then Kai shot back with "well you should learn to control you temper".
That caught Korra completely off guard, but they stopped talking because they we're looking deep into each other's eyes. It was the first time Kai realised how deep ocean blue Korra's eyes were and beautiful. It was the same for Korra looking in Kai's sky blue eyes, It was like she could almost see a spark, realising what they doing they looked away from each other blushing.
"By the way thanks. For saving my life" Kai said quietly,
Then Korra replied still blushing "Your welcome"
Back at the town things were getting bad. Azula had arranged a meeting with northern city Asylums warden Amon. Normally Amon would have the meeting at the Asylum but Azula said it was a privet matter and it would be worth his wild. Late that night Amon came to the tavern, There Azula and Jet were waiting for him, with ten thousand yuan's waiting for him.
He sat down and Azula got straight to the point "It's like this. I've got my heart set on making Kai Ke my husband. But he needs a little persuasion"
Amon wondered where this going so he kept listening "What do you want me to do?" He asked.
"Well everyone knows that his mother's a lunatic, Why just last night she was raving on about a beast in a castle. The point is Kai do anything to keep her out of the Asylums if you catch my drift". Amon knew what she wanted and agreed to go along with Azula's plan.
Back at the Ke farm Mai prepared to go back to the Palace
"When you want something done do it your self" She said grabbing a light and surplice for the journey
"I'll find that Palace and some how, I'll get him back" she said to herself and left the Farm.
Good timing too because a van pulled up out side the farm house.
"Mai, Kai" Azula called but it looked like no one was home,
Azula then turned to Jet "Stay in the barn until Kai and his Mother return, And they do we'll be ready for them" Jet did as he was told and hid in the barn.
Azula left in the van "soon Kai will be mine" she thought to her self madly.
