The week passed by like that, they would find a place to hide and then they would be found, Asami would do her thing and they would move on. Korra and Asami were getting to be good friendsd again, sharing all their stories and generally acting like teenage girls. Mako and Korra were quickly becoming closer as well, Asami could see it.

Often times they would go off for a little while in the evenings alone, leaving Bolin and Asami wondering where they had run off to. Asami and Bolin were okay on their own though, come to find out they both loved to play games of strategy; checkers, chess, and Pia sho soon became a nightly routine. Bolin wasn't the best player in the world, but Asami always had a wonderful time playing.

They kept their ear to the ground listening to any bit of Star gossip they could find, trying to find where the free Stars were hiding. Things might have gone on in the manner for all eternity …..if Hiroshi Sato hadn't been looking for his daughter this whole time.

Hiroshi Sato did not loose, he did not make promises he could not keep; and if he wanted something it was his before anyone even knew what happened. Asami hadn't come home from the office, and that had been two weeks ago. The same day Asami disappeared Amon had a break out in one of his holding facilities and Korra, that retched Star had broken out. Hiroshi had sworn to himself he would never allow Asami to meet the same fate as her mother.

"You know what to do, find them. If she's with the Star, kill the Star and bring me back my daughter." Hiroshi said to the soldier's standing in his office. "Kya." Hiorshi said and one soldier, a female, step forward. "Make sure that my daughter is alive and that Star is dead. Understood?" Hiroshi asked with a cold angry look in his eyes.

Kya nodded and everyone walked out of the room, leaving Hiroshi alone with his thoughts.

Asami was looking out the window of a building, she'd decided to sleep on the floor above the others; she needed some time to be alone. She could hear Bolin and Mako laughing at some joke Korra was making, and she could see the glow from the fire place on the street below. Asami sighed and leaned against the window frame, she felt extremely confused.

She and Korra had gotten so close, and yet it didn't seem like it had before. Maybe it was because when they were eight it was easy to just be, and now things were complicated. They weren't two little girls running around in the yard dreaming of adventure and danger, of growing up together and never being apart. They were grown woman with goals and dreams….There was another round of laughter, Mako's being the loudest. And there were affaires of the heart now.

Korra was falling for Mako, and she was falling hard. Asami wanted to be happy for her, she wanted to be there for her friend and tell her what a great life they would have together. But some part of her couldn't do it, there was some part of her that couldn't handle the idea of them together. Asami's head fell onto her arms and she sighed again, she had been doing that a lot lately.

A shadow passed in front of the building and Asami's head shot up, she would have called for help, but suddenly her entire body went stiff. Pain shot through her, she wanted to scream but nothing would come out. "So I found what I've been looking for…" Asami knew that voice, and she knew it was trouble.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Korra was doing her impression of a moose-penguin when the door burst open. Asami came in and Korra was about to smile and greet her when she noticed how rigid and stiff she was. Her eyes were wide and she was moving forward but she was struggling. Asami's eyes locked with Korra's and one word came out of her mouth. "run." Asami managed before the doorway was filled with Amon and his goons.

"Well well well look who I have hear? I found my missing stars, and few extra. Like this pretty little things." Amon said coming up behind Asami and then running his knuckles across her cheek. Asami couldn't move away and Korra couldn't figure out why. Amon seemed to guess her confusion. "I'm controlling, a special little invention that allows me to move a Star's blood without them being able to stop me. Great trick right?" Amon said walking forward, Asami moving choppily with him.

Korra understood now, she understood why Asami wasn't running but why she'd told Korra to; but Korra wasn't going to leave her. Asami was the only female friend Korra had ever had, and she was the best friend she'd ever had period. Korra loved Bolin and Mako, and yes she liked Mako a lot; but there was something special about Asami that Korra didn't want to loose.

"Let her go Amon! Let her go or I'll deal with you myself." Korra said and Amon threw his head back and laughed. There would have been more words spoken if at that moment Asami hadn't proven how much stronger she was. Amon had moved forward and targeted Korra, and then Amon was lying against the far wall in a heap on the floor, and Asami was on her hands and knees coughing.

Chaso would have ensued had it not been for four new people bursting into the room. "You four come with me before he wakes up!" Said a woman voice from within a mask. Korra quickly scooped Asami up into her arms, the latter didn't quiet have to the strength to move yet. No one knew how Asami had done it, but Korra had seen her move forward, and then when she blinked Amon was gone and Asami was on the ground.

They jumped out the window and followed after the masked woman for several blocks, Korra holding Asami the entire time. When they finally stopped Korra didn't even remember she was holding Asami till Asami tried to get down onto her own feet. Korra carefully set her down, glad that the darkness hid her blush. Korra turned to the masked person who quickly pulled her mask off and Korra smiled and hugged her.

"KYA!" Korra said and the older dark skinned woman hugged her in return.

"Korra good to see you, and you miss Sato. Your father sent me." Kya said and Asami stiffened and looked at her carefully. Kya just smiled and laughed. "No to worry, your father puts to much stock in money. I won't be taking you home, I will however be escorting you all to the docks. The other Stars are in hiding in the South, you'll get to them no problem." Kya said and then looked out over the corner.

The trip to the docks took them about an hour, and by the time they got there Asami looked like she was going to pass out. Korra wanted to help but Kya shooed her off, sending her to make sure the boys were okay.

Korra hated leaving her friend, but she wasn't about to disobey the older woman.

Kya was moving her hands over Asami to check for injuries, Asami was watching her like a hawk. "So my father sent you?" Asami said in a soft voice. Kya looked at her with a smile.

"Yes, he seems to think that Avastar kidnapped you. Judging by the state of things I'de say you choose to follow her of your own will. However what I can't figure out is why Amon could control you, you're clearly not a Star." Kya said sitting back and looking at Asami carefully.

"A Star once shared their blood with me." Asami said simply. Kya's eyes widened and she looked at Asami with disbelief.

"Are you telling me that you have Stars blood running through your veins because a Star shared with you?" Kya asked barely masking the sudden disbelief and fear. Asami looked at her a little concered and nodded.

"Yes. When I was eight I made a wish on a Star to have a friend. My Star fell from the heavens and we were together. The night she was taken from me she shared her blood with me so we would always be friends. Why?" Asami asked growing more concerned as Kya became more and more alarmed.

"Because Sharing blood with a Star makes them…..
