Note: I got this question if Korra is the avatar. Yes she is! Only nobody knows yet, not even Korra. I also don't know if they will find out in this story.
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN LEGEND OF KORRA! Okay, maybe in my dreams but in real life unfortunately not :(
Chapter 6
THE NEXT DAY
KORRA POV
For some reason I spent the night dreaming of this Sokka guy. But I ignored this fact because I wasn't really dating material, you know with me being a mercenary and all. I wanted to clear my head today and decided to do some reconnaissance today. I still had to find out when this tournament would be so I could start training. Not that I did not do that already, just wanted to know so I could start training harder and prepare for it. I wrote a note for Asami and went out the door. Once outside I thought where I should go. Not a pub of course, it was only seven am. Maybe a training centre in the darker part of the city. Yeah, that sounded like a good idea. I started walking towards my destination. I should only take me half an hour but my stomach told me it would take me a bit longer, I headed towards a little café and ordered breakfast, I finished it quickly, paid and headed further. That's when I saw him.
ASAMI POV
I couldn't stop thinking about last night, Korra acted so weird and I kept on wondering why. Suddenly a thought popped into my mind, 'Korra is in love?!' No, that was simply impossible. She has never been in love, she was in a serious relationship with her job and nothing else. I think I am very special to be considered her friend and that might only be because I knew who she was. So, I continued to think of other reasons why Korra had acted so weird. I came out blank. Maybe my thought were also the reason why I slept terrible. I think I only slept for like 2 hours, and that is not much. I heard the door close and started getting out of bed, headed towards the living room and saw a small piece of paper with something scribbled on it.
Asami,
I am going out today.
Won't be back till late.
You go ahead and do something fun,
(with Bolin maybe *wink wink*)
See you tomorrow and have fun,
Korra
Typically Korra, leaving a note and not even writing -with love, Korra- I smiled. 'Thank you Korra for my day off'
BOLIN POV
I wanted to do something with Asami today and headed to her apartment to see if she had time. As soon as I crossed the street I saw her getting out of the building and she started jogging, well it was more like serious running. I started chasing after her, trying to call out to her but she was fast. My mouth was dry as soon as I even tried to call her name. I could only breath, and even that was almost too painful for me. Then I noticed she was slowing down, finally. She entered a building and closed the door. I looked at the sign above the building –Kuei's Fitness Centre-. It seemed familiar to me somehow. I started walking in and saw her kicking a dummy. She had some mean kicks for real. I started staring at her, the way she moved during her practice. It was like she was dancing, no, like she was floating. Whatever, she just looked like heaven to me. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't notice someone walking to me.
"Hey Bolin!" I shook my head and turned my head towards the person.
"Hey Tahno"
"So, you're here again. Want to work out?"
"Again? I do not recall coming here"
"You serious bro. This is the fitness centre of the triads. And of course some other figures from 'the underworld'" he made quotation marks with this fingers while he said 'the underworld'.
I thought of Asami, surely she wasn't part of 'the underworld'.
"And, uhm. Do normal people come here as well?" I asked, trying not to sound too weird or curious.
"You mean normal people as in people who aren't criminals?"
"Uhm, yeah sure. Those people"
"Well, actually they don't. This place is known for their criminal clients so people try to avoid this place"
"Okay, I understand." I definitely had to talk to Asami.
I turned around and saw her sitting on a bench, taking a break. I started walking towards her, waving.
"Hey Asami"
"Hey Bolin"
MAKO POV
Still thinking about Korra I woke up. She was acting so strange. I had this meeting today with some of the triad members so I shook Korra out of my mind and headed outdoors. We were supposed to meet in this abandoned building. I strolled along the street and headed inside. I was the last one to arrive.
"Good day boss" Everyone said to me as they rose up from their chairs.
"Please sit down everyone" And they sat again.
It was time for me to get my men up to date about the plan I had.
"Well, men. As you might know we are low on members. The police arrested many of our members and now I would, we are on edge on being extinct" Everyone nodded, knowing that we were having a tough time.
"But do not worry. My brother came with a brilliant plan" Everyone was curious at that moment.
"Tell us boss" I started telling them about the tournament and we started discussing the arrangements that had to be made before we could hold the tournament.
"So, we will start telling people about the tournament and that they have to be at the abandoned pro-bending arena at 6 am coming Saturday" Everyone nodded once again and I decided that it was time to finish this meeting and start the plan.
When I came outside it was starting to get dark meaning I was in there for more 10 hours or something like that. I started walking towards a bar, I could use something to drink after today. Some people find it hard to believe but meetings were exhausting! I sat at the bar and ordered a whisky.
KORRA POV
It was him. What was he doing here? I mean it was the darker side of the city and he seemed like a normal, non-criminal guy. Then I remembered the other day. Bolin also had ties with the triads and he did mention his brother. Sokka probably also had some kind of connection with the triads or some other gang. But still, Sokka didn't seem like a criminal. I decided to stay and watch were he would go next. He probably just got lost and he wasn't gonna help me get information on the tournament but for some reason I didn't care. I just wanted to know where he was going. Not that I was some kind of stalker but seeing him getting in an abandoned building made me think that he was kind of odd. No, scratch that, he was just weird. I waited for what felt to me like an eternity until he finally got out of the building and started walking. I knew for sure now that he wasn't a normal guy and that he definitely was not lost at all in this part of the city. He knew where he was going, and he was going to a bar. I quickly slipped in a clothing store and got a cloak. I didn't have enough time to go home and find my own cloak so I decided to 'borrow' one. Once back on the street I put it on and headed inside the bar. Lots of heads turned towards me, his head not. 'Close call' I took a table within range to hear him. And ordered a drink, nothing too strong, just a beer. Some jackass thought he could hit on me but I turned him down as nicely as possible. Okay, maybe not. I hit him on the nose and kicked him back to his (drunk) friends. I looked at Sokka and saw him getting his twelfth drink. I looked around the bar, the door opened and I saw that Tahno guy getting inside. He looked around the bar and then walked straight to Sokka.
"Hey bro"
"Hey" Sokka didn't seem happy.
"So, tell me. How's business?"
Sokka smiled and started telling how he had this important meeting today. It didn't seem so important to me.
"So you guys discussed the tournament?" Tahno asked.
I shook my head, did I hear that right?! Tournament? My ears were open right away and focused on only them.
"Yeah we did. Actually that was the only matter which we discussed"
"So? What's the plan?"
"We decided that only underworld people may enter, it will be held in the abandoned pro-bending arena this Saturday and it will be begin at 6 am" Sokka replied.
I did not need to hear anything else. I got up and headed home. Now I have all the information I need. Only three days to go and that is more than enough for me to get ready.
