Hello again, apologies for updating so late! I know, I know, I'm awful. I had a serious case of writers block, but I have recovered well! Anyways, this chapter has a lot to do with the last episode where Korra got kidnapped.

Sayuri was sitting in her backyard, finishing homework. She sat indian-style in the grass, leaning over her thick notebook. In the corner of her eye, she saw a figure climb over her fence.

"Always with the dramatic entrances."

She sighed. Amon sat down next to her. She turned her head towards him and stared daggers.

"Is it true that you kidnapped Avatar Korra?"

"No."

He replied simply. She quirked an eyebrow at him.

"Then who did?"

"Councilman Tarrlock. I'm sure you will hear about it all tomorrow."

Sayuri was surprised, but nodded. A few scattered rain drops began to fall and she looked up at the gray sky, listening for the rumble of thunder.

"We should go inside before we both get sick."

Sayuri said as she huddled her notebook out of the rain. Amon tilted his head.

"Your family is not home?"

"My family consists of me and my father. He is working the night shift and won't be back until late tomorrow morning."

Sayuri grabbed Amon's hand and pulled him through the back door of her house, into the living room. She sat them down on her small tan couch. The room was decorated simply and nicely. It felt homey and very lived-in.

"So."

Sayuri was staring up expectantly at Amon. He looked back at her with dark and confused eyes. It was awkward for a few moments as the pair stayed silent. She slowly and hesitantly reached up her hand and placed it on his mask. She traced the details of it as she studied it. Amon swiftly moved his hand to grip her wrist.

"What are you doing?"

Sayuri looked up at him guiltily.

"Uh, sorry. I was just…"

She trailed off. Amon lowered his hand back down, but kept a delicate hold on hers. They looked up at each other and Sayuri's face broke into a light blush. She moved her other hand back to his mask and she pushed it up, stopping once his lips were exposed. She blushed harder and slowly leaned in. Her eyes closed when she saw Amon leaning in as well. Their lips lightly brushed together. Amon moved his hand into her hair and after a moment they parted. Sayuri's heart was fluttering in her chest and she placed her hand over it.

"Wow."

Fleeting thoughts passed through her head. I just kissed an Equalist, this is insane, I can't like him, wow that was amazing. Amon smiled at her and slipped his mask back into place. She had caught sight of the beginning of a scar, but she ignored it. Instead of talking she turned and leaned her back against his side, slouching a little bit. He watched her carefully, but she only yawned. He stiffened when he felt her, for lack of a better word, snuggle against him. He thought for a second, but then moved his arm over her shoulder and closed his eyes.

Something slammed into the front door of Sayuri's house. She jolted awake, slightly aware of Amon's arm draped over her. He snapped awake as well, rising on his feet instantly. Another slam echoed about the house. Someone shouted from outside, but Sayuri only caught the word "police." Amon spun her around to face him.

"Listen to me now. I held you hostage for information about your father's factory. You did not tell me anything, and you think I was planning to attack the factory. Make up a story, say whatever you have to. I'm sorry, I need to make this look realistic."

Sayuri fearfully looked up at him as he chi-blocked her as gently as he could. Amon caught her as she was about to fall and placed her on the ground. There was another slam at the door and he looked up.

"I will see you when it is safe."

He told her before silently exiting through a window. The door crashed open and a parade of metal benders entered the house. They spread out through the house and a healer crouched over her.

"Are you hurt?"

She demanded as she examined Sayuri.

"No, Amon just chi-blocked me to stop me from moving. I'll be fine."

Someone lifted her up and carried her over to the couch so she could sit. Sayuri recognized ex-chief Beifong and councilman Tenzin as they entered. She did her best to look scared and quickly succeeded in making herself cry. Councilman Tenzin looked on awkwardly at her and things in the room quickly began to calm down. A metal-bender approached them, stating that Amon had gotten away. Sayuri gritted her teeth to stop a smile and she suddenly spotted her father coming through the door.

"Dad!"

She called out, but the policemen kept him outside.

"I know that you want to see your father, but we have some questions for you."

Beifong said. Sayuri shrunk herself into the couch a little, having regained a small amount of movement.

"Okay."

She replied in a small voice.

"Why was Amon here?"

"He, uh, broke in and started asking me about where my dad works. You see, my dad, he works at a factory… They only hire water benders to cool down parts of machinery."

"What did you tell him?"

"Nothing really ma'am. Just that there were a lot of workers and that it was a large factory. Nothing that he couldn't have known if he visited the factory himself."

Sayuri sniffled and looked up pleadingly at the two adults.

"Can I please go see my dad?"

"Not yet. How did Amon break in?"

Sayuri's arms felt like jelly, but she succeeded in pointing at the broken window Amon had exited through.

"Did he say anything important?"

"No, he just kept yelling at me. I don't even know that much about my dad's factory!"

Sayuri broke into more tears and Councilman Tenzin placed his hand on ex-chief Beifong's shoulder.

"I think we're done here."

The ex-chief nodded and sent in Sayuri's father.

"If you remember anything, please call us."

They said as Sayuri's dad quickly embraced her, but her mind was elsewhere. Please let Amon be okay, she thought.

"Sweetie? Sayuri? I asked you if you were okay."

"Yeah, I'm fine dad. I'm just really tired. Do you think you could help me to my room?"

Sayuri's dad nodded and picked her up from the couch.

"I can walk now, you know."

Sayuri's father huffed and continued carrying her anyways, gently placing her on her bed in her room.

"Call me if you need anything, okay Sayuri?"

"Okay, love you."

"Love you too."

The door closed behind Sayuri's dad. Sayuri pulled a pillow over her head and sighed.

Oh Spirits, what have I gotten myself into?

You guys have all been super nice to me, so thank you! I love all your reviews I hope you liked the chapter! I actually changed a lot of this chapter before I posted it, but I think it was for the better. Also, my darn page breaks broke again :(
