Legend of Takumi - Legend of Gyawa

Chapter 2: A Leaf in the Wind

"And they won with a decisive knockout! What ya say we go to the arena tonight? Catch a few Pro-bending matches?" Korra asked, folding the paper and putting a hand on her hip as we sat and ate lunch.

I already missed the meat... I mentally sigh, leaning on the palm of my hand.

"That sport is a mockery of the ancient ways of bending." TenTen huffed, his beard moving out of wack.

"Come on, Tenzin I've dreamed of seeing a Pro-bending match since I was a kid and now we're just a ferry ride away." Korra replied, meanwhile I sipped a cup of tea.

"Korra, you're Takumi's bodyguard, you're not going to make Takumi go to watch that dribble! Takumi is here to finish her air bending training, don't forget your duty is to her!" Tenzin scolded making me roll my eyes and think 'you're crushing my individuality!'

"She has the White Lotus here and yeah I am her bodyguard I could take her with me!" Korra scoffed, her arms leaning on the table and her eyebrows crossed.

"I won't hear anymore, Takumi needs a quiet calm place, free from all distractions."

"I think it would be nice." I added, looking at both of them. A bit brain dead.

A few days passed, full of training and meditation, hoping I wasn't "learning" too quickly so no one would suspect something.

One night when I was still awake I went out to find Korra sitting with the other White Lotus listening to the Pro-bending on the radio.

I smirked before air bending up the roof.

I don't know when it happened but it did and I got attached to the fight like it was my very own saber-tooth-moose-lion cub.

"The Fire Ferrets line up—"

I smiled in excitement only to hear the old radio die.

Then I remembered it was TenTen, I wanted to punch something!

"Takumi, come down here please!" He called out.

I wasn't going to stand for this! So like I did so many times before, I ran from my problems.

Rule one: ignore it. Maybe it will go away.

"Takumi?!" He gasped as he saw me creeping away.

"Uuuhhhh yeah?" I innocently asked, quickly turning.

"What are you doing?" He furrowed his eyebrows and crossed his arms. I wanted to laugh, this was the opposite of what it was supposed to be.

"I thought I made myself clear? I don't want you listening to this distracting nonsense." He yelled from where he stood. Meanwhile, I didn't move from my evil meme thief pose.

"A little fun won't hurt buddy." I shrugged, pouching my lips together.

"And it's their radio." Korra randomly added.

"You stay out of this, Korra! You're supposed to be a bodyguard, not a bad influence!" Tenzin rose his voice, waving an arm in the air.

I could tell from where I stood Korra took that hard, folding her arms.

"Anyway sh—shouldn't you be in bed by now?" Than Tenzin performed Tenz-out.

A few more days passed, more than anything I was ready to take on Amon my way. I had to admit I was really curious to see where it would all go.

That night as I thought about that amazing pizza I showed to Lang Fang and was called the master of food. Those were the days— I heard a knock on my window, I turned to Korra with a smirk.
