Korra couldn't believe this was real. Lying right next to her was her lovely girlfriend, whom she had just spent the entire night expressing her love to in a very physically way. As she leaned over to place a small kiss on her bare shoulder she caught sight of something that made her blood freeze. Right in the area between Asami's neck and shoulder was a rather large bite mark which had, from the looks of it, broken the skin. As she traced the outline Asami took that exact moment to roll over and wake up, "morning Korra."

Korra didn't answer, continuing to stare at the mark she knew she had caused. Asami followed her gaze to the mark on her neck.

"Asami... I'm sorry I hurt..."

Asami moved and silenced her by pressing her lips to hers before looking her girlfriend in the eye, "Korra don't be sorry, there's nothing you did to me last night that I didn't enjoy. In fact I was the one that asked you to do it."

"Huh?"

"You were looking at me like you wanted to eat me and when I caught you sucking and licking at my neck I told you it was okay."

Korra felt her cheeks burning as the memory returned of her passing out not only from feeding, but also from Asami's hands roaming and touching in just the right places.

"At least let me heal the wound," Korra said as she pulled a small stream of water from the fountain in the room. She placed it on the wound and watched it glow, restoring Asami's flawless skin.

"Oooh that feels nice Korra."

As Korra healed the last of the injury she pulled Asami close, her needs growing stronger.

"I hope you don't have any plans for the rest of the morning."

"I do now."

As the hours passed from morning to afternoon and nobody had seen both girls, Tenzin became worried and went to their room. Before he could knock he heard faint moans followed by the screaming of names. Needless to say he didn't bother to knock and just informed everyone that Asami and Korra were busy and for no one to go near their room until they came out.

As the girls enjoyed themselves one man was busy venting his rage at two other men, who were busy trembling in their chairs as Hiroshi screamed at them.

"You idiots! I gave you one task, one! Convince Asami that her future is with a man and bring her back to me. Now not only is she still with the avatar, but she's living with her at the temple!"

"But Mr. Sato the avatar's a monster! We thought she was going to kill us, there was nothing we could do," Shin stated hoping for leniency.

Hiroshi looked over to the two men before him and through his rage saw some truth in the young man's words, "You might be right. I sent two unprepared fools to deal with a bender, but what I should have done is weaken her first."
As an idea forms in his mind he reaches for two pieces of paper; and after writing down his plans, he hands one to each of the boys.

"Take these to the addresses written on them and make sure you're not followed. Do this and I'll forgive you for your failure."

Shin and Shiro didn't need to be told twice and leapt from their chairs, dashing out of the office heading straight for the addresses, both of which were in the worst part of town. The first one lead to a shady looking apothecary shop; where an ancient looking woman was mixing herbs into a bowl.

"We were told to give you this," Shin explained as the paper was handed to the old woman. Her eyes widened as she saw what was being requested and couldn't help but smile wickedly.

"Tell your boss he'll have what he wants delivered tonight, and that it was, as always, a pleasure."

As they left to deliver the second message they couldn't help but feel that they had been dragged down a very dark path. Nearly an hour of searching and they found the final address which was tucked away in-between an alley. The door had only a slot, which after a moment of knocking, opened to reveal a pair of eyes.

"You have exactly three seconds to tell me why I shouldn't break your fingers for disturbing us today."

With shaking hands they passed the man the message and waited for a response.

"Seems like the boss will be getting his revenge on the avatar after all; might even get a raise when all this is done. Tell your boss that we'll be there."

Not wanting to be involved any deeper in what was going on the two decided it was time to head home and forget about the Sato name, and the wealthy future they could have had; deciding to just settle with being mechanics. At least then they wouldn't have to do anything cloak and dagger. They returned to the office to report to Mr. Sato that everything was in place. When they returned they stopped as they heard Mr. Sato talking to someone through the transceiver.

"...Yes master Tenzin I'm aware that what I did was wrong, but I'd like to be given the chance to formally apologize in front of my daughter and see if there is any way I can repair the damage with her."

"Very well Mr. Sato"

"Excellent, I'll be over tonight," Mr Sato ended the call, and the two men thought they heard a soft chuckle. "In just a few hours my daughter will be where she belongs, and the avatar will no longer be able to keep her from me."

The brothers exchanged looks and then entered the room wanting to get this over with as soon as possible.

"We delivered the letters, and they told us that you'll get everything you requested." As soon as they said that a dark smile formed on Mr. Sato's face.

He got up to clasp both boys on the shoulders, "good work boys. Now why don't you go home and forget everything that's happened today." All the boys could do was nod.

Meanwhile Korra was doing her best to help Asami calm down from Tenzin's news, that her dad would be there later tonight, by being her sparring partner.

"That arrogant bastard! I bet he thinks he can just waltz in here say a few apologies and I'll come back to him. Well he can forget it!"

As Korra moved to block and maneuver around Asami she couldn't help but wonder about her own parents and how she was still angry with them.

"I just can't believe Tenzin would just let him in here after what he did."

"Well being an airbender is about rising above problems and trying to resolve them," Korra pointed out, barely dodging Asami's fist.

"You're not helping."

Korra could only shrug before dodging a low kick.

"I just wish my mom was still here. She was always so understanding of me and what I did. I guess if my dad gets down on his knees and says he's sorry I might think of forgiving him, but if he thinks I'll break up you then please go ahead and hit him."

"I'll aim for his face then."

Although Korra knew it was meant to be a joke, she couldn't help but realize that Asami had just put her before her own farther. And that realization brought a small tear to her eyes, which she wiped away before Asami could notice.

Before long the hours passed and the sun had long since gone down. Having taken her potion from Katara when it was ready, Korra was now waiting inside with Asami and the others. They awaited the ferry containing Mr. Sato and the change of white lotus guards for the evening. Asami was nervous and kept glancing out the window trying her best to hold back the anger she still had for her farther.

"The ferry has just arrived and they should be here momentarily," Tenzin informed them as he the ferry pulled into the dock and everyone disembarked.

"It seems like there are more guards then usual I'll have to check on this."

As he left to investigate Korra pulled Asami into a hug, "its okay Asami. I'll be right here the entire time. I won't let him hurt you again." Asami pulled her into a kiss which was instantly returned.

"I love you Korra."

"I love you too Asami."

Right as they pulled apart they turned to see Mr. Sato standing in the doorway followed by six white lotus guards, but something seemed off about them. Their eyes were filled with anger and some had weapons.

"Father."

"Asami I'm sorry for how I acted, but I'm sure soon enough you'll see things my way."

"What?"

As they were talking more guards came into the room turning six into twelve. As the last man entered the room Korra recognized him as the one survivor from when she and Asami were attacked on their date.

"Gentlemen, if you please," Mr. Sato calmly commanded.

Before Korra could send a fireball into the group she felt five sharp pains. She looked down noting the poisonous darts now lodged in her side. Her vision blurred and her muscles refused to listen to her.

"There are neurotoxins in the needles. The poison in those should kill you, but why let it do all the work.."

Korra could only turn to Asami and say, "Asami run!"

As the first man pulled out a sword and swiped at Korra a massive whip of water shot through from outside and knocked him back into the others. Everyone in the room turned to see Katara surrounded by two massive balls of water.

"Get away from them!" she screamed sending them flying across the room. Sadly one man was quicker than the others and avoided the hit. He dove to the side before firing a blow dart, striking Katara in the neck.

Hiroshi, seeing a chance, grabbed a blow dart and aimed it at the avatar, wanting to finish her off personally. He took aim and fired. Unfortunately Asami chose that exact moment to move in and help the avatar and took the dart straight in the arm.

"Asami!" Korra watched her fall to the floor as a few of the attackers were getting up. Seeing her mentor go down followed by her girlfriend made her blood boil, and for the first time in her life she entered the avatar state.

Using bloodbending to regain control of her limbs, she created a stone sphere around herself. She then created an air-like shockwave inside it and blasted it outward in all directions, sending rocks and men flying everywhere. After dodging a fireball from their leader she looked around to see that only he and Asami's father were left standing. With both hands she lifted the two men up with airbending, sending Asami's father hurdling into a column and sucking the air from the other man's lungs before dropping both of them. She pulled Asami and Katara in front of her, but what energy she had left was leaving her as the poison made its way to her heart. She looked from her mentor to her girlfriend knowing she only had the energy to bend the poison from herself and one other. Who should she save? Katara was someone she had grown up with and the only person that could make her potion at night. Asami was the girl she had come to love and cherish more than anything.

"Damn it all," she said quietly before raising her hands and bending the poison painfully from her body, and then from the person she knew she couldn't live without. She fell to the floor afterwards as the pain became too great, blacking out.
