Chapter 21

Picking A Fight

~.~.~.~.~

~Azula's POV~

I saw Asami and her boyfriend arguing across the gym. I walked through the crowd closer and caught wind of their conversation with my advanced hearing. It sounded like he was putting pieces together and she was obviously still hiding her true self from him. Asami turned and walked away from him. I followed her outside. My high heels clicked across the pavement as I walked out behind her. She turned and groaned when she saw me.

"Have a fight with your little boyfriend?"

"That's none of your business." She snapped. I smiled and licked my fangs. I usually keep mine showing for fun. I walked over to her and sniffed.

"You have blood on your dress. What happened little dhampir girl? Oh yeah, you got in a fight with Jet. Didn't Ozai tell you to kill him? I'm getting the feeling that you didn't by the way you are still holding yourself together."

"Why are you here?" She said.

"It's a dance, thought I should come for the fun. I heard that tonight was going to be eventful. I just couldn't miss out on the opportunity." I walked around her and spun in a circle, making my dress fluff in the wind. Asami watched me boredly.

"You haven't done what Ozai asked of you."

She narrowed her eyes at me. "How would you know?"

"Because you're still here. By the way, I wonder where Tahno is. He came here with me but he's nowhere to be seen. Have you seen him?"

"No."

"Oh, too bad you're lieing. We could have had a good conversation for once." I can tell when people lie, there's a part of their voice that gives it away. Vampire hearing amplifies everything, nobody can hide things from me. "Did he do the deed for you? That pathetic waste of space likes you enough to do anything you ask. I'm sure you know that though.

"Funny, you two seem like you'd be the better couple. Why don't you go bother him?"

"Because you are so much more fun to bug. I'm sure Ozai would like to know how you failed his simple little request."

"Jet's dead." She told me. I was actually surprised. Maybe she had taken care of him after all. I clapped. She continued to give me a look of hatred.

"Oh? Wow, didn't know you had it in you. I still think you haven't had enough fun tonight though, I know I haven't. Hmm..." I saw Korra walk out the gym doors. "Oh I know how make tonight better." I said grinning evilly.

I crossed over to Korra with vampire speed and grabbed her shoulders. The blue eyed girl jumped out of her skin as I suddenly appeared at her side, she hadn't been able to follow me with her human eyes. I smelled the air and let my eyes turn thinking about how good she would taste. Asami moved to stop me as I hovered my fangs close to Korra's neck. I didn't bite though.

"Don't!" Asami yelled.

"Oh? You don't want your bestie here like you? Or is it that you think I'm going to kill her." I sneered. I pushed Korra forward hard enough to make her stumble and she fell on her hands and knees. Asami grabbed my hair and jerked me toward her.

"Didn't you hear me last time? Don't touch my friends."

I hissed and grabbed her and dug my nails into her shoulder. She grit her teeth and let go of my hair. We stood there and glaring at each other for a few moments. She'd told me not to touch her friend like I had to listen. I threw my head back and laughed coldly.

"You sure are protective. What would you do if I touched your boyfriend? Or your parents?" I said baiting her. I wanted a fight. I needed some entertainment. It looked like was going to get it by the look on her face.

"You won't touch anyone I care about."

"Oh, is that so?" I grabbed Korra by the hair and lifted her off the ground with one hand. Korra responded by grabbing my arms and crying out in pain. "What are you gonna do Asami?" I said as her eyes went to her best friend. I saw the veins around her eyes make themselves known as her eyes changed as her anger grew.

She answered me by grabbing my arm, and piercing my skin with her nails as she squeezed it. Before I could stop her she landed a punch to my left cheek and I fell backwards losing hold of Korra's hair. She'd hit me a lot harder than I thought she would have. She was definately stronger than I was. I hated that fact. I tasted blood in my mouth as the teeth she broke with her punch regenerated themselves. Thats another thing we vampires have, instant regeneration and healing.

~Asami's POV~

Azula started a fight between us. When she grabbed Korra I stabbed her arm with my nails as I grabbed it and punched her in the face. I felt a rush of adrenaline go through me. I liked the feeling of using my strength in a fight. I felt tougher and unstoppable. Azula's arm healed and she spit bloody shards of her teeth out of her mouth and laughed like a crazy person. I saw that her teeth had I had broken fixed themselves.

Azula jumped up and slammed me in the jaw. She was stronger than Jet, but still not as strong I as I am. I kicked my heels off and punched her back in the chest making her stumble backwards. She regained her footing and landed a blow to my gut and lifted me off the ground with her hit, sending me flying backwards. I landed on my feet and skidded backwards. I decided it was time to get real, there was no way I was letting her win this fight, and I had to protect Korra.

"Is that all you got dhampir brat?" Azula sneered at me.

"You wish it was." Azula took the next attack trying to catch me off guard, but she failed to connect her hit as I grabbed her arm like I had Tahno's when we fought, and twisted it behind her back. I used my other hand to slam a punch into her spine. She cried out in pain and tried to jerk out of my hold.

"Looks like I have the upper hand here. What's the matter Azula? Letting me win?"

I twisted her arm behind her even more, snapping her shoulder out of place and then breaking her arm. I pushed her forward onto the ground. Azula rolled over on her back and used her other hand to snap her bones back in place with a grunt.

"I'm gonna rip your heart out, you little bitch."

She leapt back to her feet but I was ready for her as she came at me again. She grabbed at me and caught my dress, ripping the ruffle part of the top as I blocked her her other fist. I ignored that fact ruined my dress. "Ozai needs me for his so important plan. Aren't you his second in command? I'm sure he wouldn't want you if you killed me." I said between blocking and fighting back.

"You're right." She said and moved to Korra, grabbing her by the neck and lifting her off the ground. "But that doesn't mean I can't kill your best little girlfriend here."

I paused. She had me, I hated to admit it but she did. She squeezed Korra's neck a little. "Last chance, Asami. Give up, or Korra is dead." Korra stared at me, and gasped for air. I couldn't let her, I wouldn't.

"Fine, let her go. I'll do anything you want."

"How can I be so sure you will? That you won't just attack me the second I let her go?"

"You'll just have to trust me." I said.

Azula laughed, but let go of Korra anyway, dropping her to the ground. Korra coughed and gasped for air. I looked at her and told her to go. She didn't waste any time running inside the school. Once she was inside the doors I looked at Azula.

"What do you want me to do?"

"Simple. Finish the task Ozai asked of you."

"I did."

"No you didn-"

I crossed over to her in a flash, she caught me, but I grabbed her neck tighter and kicked her feet from underneath her. She brought me to the ground with her and I grabbed her forearms and slammed them to the ground. Azula growled and kneed me in the stomach, hard, but I didn't release my hold on her.

I snapped her right arm the wrong way and she screamed, and did the same with the other. I lifted myself up and brought my foot down on her gut, just like she had kneed me. She coughed up blood. I looked her directly in the eyes.

"I win." I said. "Now you will stop attacking me and my friends, go home and tell Ozai I finished his request. Understood?"

"Yes." Azula said in a monotone voice.

I stood up. She snapped her arms back the right direction and she got up and walked off. I smiled and turned around. My smile dropped when I saw who was standing there.

Iroh.
