Korra frantically search through the house, eventually running out into the muddy back garden. Following a set of footprints she found Asami tucked into a back corner, pepples swirling around in her hand. Asami stared blankly at the bits of earth swirling around above her pale skin. "Hey." Korra said softly as she sat down next to the taller girl.
Asami didn't respond, which made Korra feel a little nervous. She was about to say something again when Asami seemed to come out of her stupor. "I could never do this before, at least I don't think I could. But then sometimes things just happened. Like that day in the building, it was you who shook it right?" Asami asked looking at Korra.
Korra shook her head. "I honstely thought it was the building was unstable, but the building only went down enough to make it where we couldn't follow you and the men fell. I think it was you. Are you angry with me?" Korra asked softly reaching over and touching Asami's arm lightly. Asami turned and looked her surprised, the pebbles falling neatly into her hand.
"What?! Of course not Korra why would I be mad?" Asami asked her seriously turning to look at Korra fully.
"Because its my blood that did this. It's my fault, everything that's happened to you its….." Asami cut her off by firmly planting her lips against Korra's. Asami's hand moved to cup Korra's cheek as she soften the kiss to something far more tender and sweet. Korra leaned into the kiss, placing a hand over Asami's and sighing. When Asami pulled away she looked right into Korra's eyes, her own green eyes filled with firmness.
"Korra," Asami started, her thumb lightly brushing Korra's cheek. "We were both there that night. It took two peoples blood to make this bond. We may not have known what the future held but I am not in any way upset with you because of this… You're my best-friend." She said the last part hesitantly, almost like she wanted to say something else.
Korra took note of the way Asami's cheek were tainted pink. The way Asami's eyes shifted away from her on nervously. She hadn't wanted to say best-friend, there was something else she wanted to call her; but she hadn't.
"You're not my best-friend Asami." Korra said softly reaching up and touching Asami's cheek. Asami's eyes grew wide with hurt, and tears began to brim. "You're my Soulmate." Korra said and Asami seemed to sigh in relief. Korra leaned forward and softly kissed Asami's cheek before standing and pulling the taller girl up after her.
"Come on, we need to get you to bed. We've had a long day, and now that Amon has attacked us here everyone will be wanting a fight. And I need you at my side." Korra said entangling their fingers together. Asami leaned forward and laid a kiss to Korra's cheek before whispering in her ear.
"I won't ever be away from your side, you're mine." Asami said just barely above a whisper. Korra shivered and gave Asami a smile over her shoulder as they trudged into the house.
Inside was complete chaos, people were yelling and crying as they spoke over one another. Katara and Kya sat in a corner trying to keep everyone quiet but it wasn't working. As soon as Korra came in the room grew even louder as the people charged forward.
"Calm down calm down!" Korra yelled over the throng of noice. "Listen I know we all want to fight, but tonight is not the time. Two days from now I leave for Republic City, and I won't be coming back till Amon's stripped of everything. You are welcome to join me. But for the next two days I'll be unavailable as I train and prepare a battled plan. Goodnight." Korra said and then dragged Asami after her to Asami's room.
Korra walked her to the door and then paused and kissed her cheek, but when Korra turned to go Asami stopped her with a tug on her hand.

Korra couldn't levae her, no she needed her strength and confidence. "You said you wouldn't leave me, so you're staying in here." Asami said with resolve. There was no hesitation, no room for question. It was a statement, Korra would be staying with her. Korra gave her a sheepish smile and nodded as she let Asami lead her into her room.
Asami smiled triumphantly and walked in and stood there as Korra went around and collected the night cloths she'd left in there earlier that morning. Asami watched the way her shirt tugged over her thick muscles, and the way her arms flexed as she grabbed things. She thought about the fact that she had almost lost Korra again, and how painful that would have been. She felt her heart beat skip as she took a step forward, then another one and then another one until she stood right behind Korra.
Her arms slid across her waist with ease as Asami leaned over and laid her head on Korra's shoulder. "I almost lost you again." Asami whispered in a sad soft voice. Korra paused and leaned back into Asami's embrace, sighing.
"I was terrified when I realized that it was happening again. I mean I know we haven't been together long. And I know we've only be together again for a few months, but that time and the time we've spent together as children….I just feel like I need to be with you. Like I fit in this spot with you, not matter where we are." Korra said softly and Asami nodded in agreement.
"Korra I love you." Asami said in a watery whisper. "What if something happens to you? I can't.." Asami trailed off as Korra dropped the cloths she was holding and pulled Asami into her arms.
"I can't promise that everything will be okay. I can't promise that I won't get hurt, or that you won't get hurt. I don't know what tomorrow will bring, or what the next day will bring. But I do know that as long as you are by my side I won't be afraid to face anything that comes my way." Korra said holding Asami's face in her hands. Korra leaned forward and Asami sniffed as she felt warm lips press against her own.
She didn't want the kiss to end, she didn't want Korra to pull away. She wanted to stay in Korra's arms, she wanted to feel Korra. She wanted to be as close to Korra as possible. She slid her arms over Korra's shoulder and drew her closer. Korra moaned as Asami slipped her tongue into Korra's mouth. They kissed one another passionately, their hands wandered slowly and softly; gently caressing one another as they slowly pulled cloths off.
