The Legend of Korra

Iroh/Korra

Chapter 3:

Previously on : History doesn't always repeat itself

Then to General Iroh, My heart started to beat fast again as he looked at me smiling.

"Goodnight Avatar Korra." He said grasping my hand and kissing it gently. I blushed a deep red and hurried and waved to them, and was off to my room, my heart still pounding in my chest.

I opened my bedroom door and shut it behind me, and couldn't help the bright smile I had on my face.

I sighed contently as I plopped onto my bed… and the little voice in the back of my head saying to me…

You're so in trouble.

I cringed at the sunlight shining through my window and into my eyes as I woke up, I groaned and rolled over, SO not ready to wake up.

'Today's gunna suck like always…' which really didn't make me wanna get out of bed.

I went through the schedule in my head 'training, training and more tr-' I opened my eyes and abruptly sat straight up and smiled,

'IROH!' I screamed in my head

I got out of bed quickly and went to my closet, and was about to put my usual training clothes on but stopped.

"I've got to dress nicer today…" I muttered to myself looking at the options in my closet.

I saw one of my training outfit that stuck out to me.

I put it on and went to the vanity, the shorts cut off at the knee they were very slimming showing off my curves, the pants were a light blue with the dark coral accenting the sides, and the top was just as slimming it was a no sleeved top but it was just a Dark corral with the light blue accenting the hem. I remember Lady Katara sending this to me on my birthday last year but I never got to the chance to wear it because I thought it was to….. 'show-offy' but now's the PERFECT opportunity!

I smiled at myself in the mirror, I looked good.

I hurriedly put my hair in a sloppy bun and was out the door.

I walked down the hall of the women's dormitory getting a few stares from the woman but right when I got outside it seemed everyone's eyes were on me.

I smiled nervously and hurried to the training area where I knew where everyone was.

I Came into sight and saw Mako and Iroh practicing their firebending…. Iroh… shirtless.

I almost fainted right then and there I slowed my walk, my eyes on Iroh the whole time I saw sweat glistening his pale flawless skin I could just look at him a-

"Korra's here!" I heard Bolin yell from his seat on the stairs with pabu.

The two boys stopped and stared at me and my attire, I stopped walking and nervously tucked a piece of my hair behind my ear.

Again, I felt everyones eyes on me.

Iroh smiled softly which made my heart skip a beat in my chest,

there was a moment of silence.

"OW OWW KORRA YOU LOOK HOT!" Bolin calls at me whistling

I look down blushing

Mako glares at Bolin and then clears his voice, And everyone snaps out of their gaze toward me. Atleast I thought…

I walk to the group of boys and smirk, "Are we gonna start the training or are you all just going to sit there and gawk at me the whole time." putting my hands on my hips

"uuhh, right, lets start with firebending exercises." everyone gets in position and Bolin takes a seat to get a good view at my behind, I roll my eyes.

we start the exercises and I catch Iroh glancing at me, and I smile and I can't help but blush, we continue that for a good hour until Mako stops and says "alright lets take a break."

Iroh heads over to Bolin and me and Mako stand in the same positions, I look to Mako, he smirks at me.

I give him a questioning look, "what?"

he grabs my hand and then puts his other hand on my waist, still with that smirk on his face

he dips down low to my ear and whispers, "If you wanted my attention you surely got it."

I look confused, then glare for a second and push him away softly, and chuckle "Since when am I desperately seeking your attention?"

He sighs "I know I haven't been spending enough time with you lately…"

I smile softly, "it's ok Mako really."

he shakes his head, "no, it's really not, we haven't been on a real date in months, I know I have to step it up."

I sighed "mako.."

He leans down and kisses me softly, yet again giving me proof that there's not that spark anymore,

"I promise I'm going to make it up to you Korra."

the words that I wanted to say got stuck in my throat, and all I could do is simply nod,

He smiles and takes my hand and we head over to the boys.

Bolin and Iroh were conversing then stopped as we came into ear-shot, Bolin grinned and said as we reached them.

"Lookin good out there Avatar." Mako glared at his brother again, and Iroh laughed

I rolled my eyes, "thanks Bo."

I took a seat and grabbed some water, Mako took a seat next to me and slung his arm over my shoulder.

We all conversed for a minute then Bolin got up and stretched and said, "Alright, who's down for some sparring?" he said with a smirk.

I smiled slyly, nothing is more fun in training than to spar.

Mako sighed, and got up as well, "you guys go ahead, I'm gonna go eat."

he turned around "you wanna come?"

I shook my head no, "I'll join you later." he nodded and gave me a kiss on the cheek and walked to the dining hall.

Bolin smiled, "alright who's ready to get their butts whooped by this almighty Earth bender?"

I looked to Iroh who had a smirk on his face, I couldn't help but gaze at his perfectly sculpted abs, and toned biceps, as he got up and stood in front of Bolin.

"Let's do this." Iroh said confidently

I smiled

"Whoever wins, gets to spar me!" I called out after them as they walked to the middle of the Training arena, Iroh looked back at me smiled as they took their places.

'Oh spirits he's gunna be the death of me' I said to myself as my heart pounded rapidly in my chest.

I felt like melting to the ground everytime he looked at me.

In less than 5 minutes Bolin fell to the ground with a thud, I cringed. "I call a rematch!" he said weakly as he got up off the ground. Iroh getting into his fighting position, Bolin held up his hand "after! I eat."

he walked off to the dining hall tiredly, I laughed and got up.

I walked towards Iroh slowly, smirking the whole way. I stood a couple feet away from him.

"Choose your element Avatar." Iroh said smoothly

'Oh my heavens his deep raspy voice!'

Of course I'm choosing water, it's definitely my strongest.

I nodded getting in position, him doing the same… And the battle began.

I pulled the water out of thin air and dodged his fire ball at me, I turned the water into a whip which he easily dodged.

this continued for a while, he attacked I dodged, I attacked he dodged, this fight was getting no where….

I breathed out hard, watching his footing, I decided to put some airbending techniques in without cheating and using aribending, he shot flames past my head I dodged and walked toward him staying light on my feet and easily dodging his blows at my head.

I stood directly in front of him still dodging every attack and managing to ice the floor under his bad footing which made him easily fall with a thud!

"HA! I won!" I stood triumphantly above him smirking.

I looked down, not fast enough, to him kicking my feet right out from under me and I fell on my behind with a thud.

He got up with a smile, "I think I won that round."

I pouted, "not fair!" he reached his hand out to help me up, I sighed and took it and got up

"I say we tied that one…" he said putting a hand on my shoulder and a bright smile on his face.

I looked up at him, I had no desire to disagree, he was to beautiful…

I just simply nodded and smiled back up at him

We stared at each other for what seemed to be eternity, I was shaken out of my gaze when I heard someone clear there throat.

I turned around and saw Tenzin staring at us oddly,

"excuse me, didn't mean to, uh, intrude in your training session, but Korra may I borrow General Iroh for a while?"

I blushed lightly and Iroh took his hand off my shoulder, "ha, uh yeah, sure."

Iroh turned to me and smiled, he took my hand yet again in his and kissed it lightly, "thanks for the spar Avatar Korra."

My breathing stopped and Iroh walked away with Tenzin.

I smiled dazed, in a trance… Iroh surrounding my every thought, I couldn't control it…

'Now, what are you going to do about your boyfriend?'

I glared,

And mentally shot the voice in my head…

"I'm getting there…" I muttered to myself and walked gingerly to the dining hall.
