DLK— 1.3

Title: Conflict

"Huh... you guys should talk more," Korra huffed deeply. Gazing at the two women in front of her, the dark-skinned warrior couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. Well, since the two walked in front of her, Korra's gaze fell on the more developed of the two.

Wearing a light blue robe that only reached past her butt slightly, Korra could only admire Shigure's sense of clothing. At the very least, Korra could never see herself wearing such... well, short dress, with such a decent expression on her face. At her words, however, the other girl in the group looked back curiously. Wide eyes with beautiful pink pupils gazing back and an innocent expression on her face as if she didn't enjoy Nik at all. In fact, this little demoness was far more 'capable' than she looked.

"Hmm," nodding seriously, Nezuko looked straight once again.

"You know, I think it's my fault. I volunteered to join even—" Before Korra could complete, Shigure suddenly disappeared from Korra's view as the slightly grotesque squelching sound echoed from the surrounding.

Looking towards the right, both Korra and Nezuko looked at each other before moving towards the source of the sound.

"Say, do you miss your brother? I heard that your brother is with a boy toy," Korra inquired after a minute of silent walking. Her words making Nezuko furrow for a moment before she looked down, her expression unreadable.

"Maybe... I don't know," Nezuko replied softly, "I want to see him but... I don't miss him. Nik takes great care of me. And... I think, it would be wrong to miss someone else after so much Nik has done."

Korra mused before shrugging, "Eh, I didn't know you really could speak full sentences. Either way, that's so stupid. Oh, maybe even barf," she grinned as Nezuko stopped and matched Korra's gaze with a glare.

"Don't mock him," Nezuko stated plainly.

"I'm mocking you," Korra rubbed the back of her head, "How should I put this... Nik has to do a lot more than he already did. He's my teacher, and well, lover. If I think of him as a teacher, then, of course, he's done more than enough but a teacher's job to teach is never over. And as a lover, of course, I want more. I can move finally, but I want more. I left my world for him, then in return, I want a world to live in, too... or something like that."

Korra stepped aside with a casual expression as Nezuko failed to pounce on her. "You really think you can defeat me?" The brown-skinned beast inquired with a beastly smirk as rose-red blaze covered Nezuko's arm while her blood had started leaking from her palms unknowingly.

"I don't need to defeat you," Nezuko replied seriously. "I only have to teach you a lesson."

"Pfft, it takes more than guts to try and fight with me. Maybe pass one of Gojira's stupidly hard courses," Korra looked towards the thicket as Shigure walked out with a small crow tied around her waist.

"We shouldn't fight amongst ourselves," Shigure spoke after looking at Nezuko as the demoness frowned without replying. Flames still covering her palms as Shigure looked at Korra, her violet eyes matching Korra's dark orbs.

"Don't look at me, I just gave this little sweetheart a piece of nice advice. Maybe, in a few years, she'll appreciate my concerns."

"She is greedy," Nezuko countered as Korra and Shigure looked towards her. "I don't like greedy people..."

"Ah, she's a little dumb. Hooking up with one of the greediest out there and still acting uptight—"

Korra's gaze turned sharp as Nezuko's body suddenly 'grew' a little. Her muscles bulged while nails grew out of her fingers. Nerves bulged around her body while she looked ready to attack, "Nik... can be anything he wants."

'Hmm... I'm the student here and even I don't worship Nik as such. Man, I'm a little envious of both of them,' Korra pursed her lips while a phantom of a humungous polar bear appeared behind her. As Shigure felt things growing out of control, a snicker broke out as three more girls walked in on the trio.

"Oh, go ahead. Don't mind us," Asami twirled her locks as she leaned against a tree a little bit away from the trio while Karna rubbed her forehead. Yue, meanwhile, looked excited by a fight happening within her vicinity.

"Karna! I bet on Korra! Um, I don't have anything to bet though..." She spoke, a little bit disheartened as her recent gambling addiction had turned into a major source of distress for all who loved to hang out with Yue, Karna included.

"I bet that this fight would blow off in a few minutes with no winner," Asami looked towards Yue, surprising the white-haired gravity bender, "Of course, I bet one hour of my time. If I lose, you can use me for errands for an hour."

"Oh! Ok," Yue nodded with a grin, still wearing her thick tunic and robe from the Northern tribe of her world.

"Go ahead," Asami winked at Korra while Karna sighed. Despite her recent love for gambling, Yue still needed to understand more about people. For instance, right now, Asami had already begun to tip the odds towards her favor.

"This is inefficient. I'm leaving... anybody wants to join me for gathering dinner?" She inquired as Karna was more than happy to ditch the drama and follow the silent kunoichi.

"You're... useful. Alright, follow me," Shigure nodded after recalling Karna's waterbending ability.

As the duo left, the remaining girls looked at each other.

"Whatever," Korra shook her head, her gaze matching Asami before she smiled and looked at Nezuko, "For reasons unknown to your little worshipping mind, I have decided to defeat you."

Asami's lips twitched while Yue cheered, "Go get her, girl!"

*Grr*

A low, guttural growl escaped Korra's lips while a purple ring appeared beneath her feet with her muscles bulging in a fashion far more exaggerated than Nezuko.

Cracking her fingers, Korra grinned, her canines more pronounced, "I'll beat some sense into you while we're at it. Although... it's not my place to do it," she mused as she struck towards Nezuko.

"Yay! We found another pond nearby!" Ty-lee smiled widely while extending her hand forward and raising her index and middle finger in a peace sign. Alongside her stood Katara and June as June interjected, "Well, I found it on my own. These two were baggages."

"Aw..." Ty-lee's shoulder slumped while Katara sighed, "It was a good experience, thanks."

"Don't worry about it. I really don't know how to share my experiences with words so I couldn't really help in tracking spells at all," June smiled, "It's good if someone else learns from me and help Nik out."

"Oh, yeah! I'll do it," Ty-lee gave a toothy grin as Katara smiled simply.

It's been a long time since she chose Nik but... she did feel quite lonely now. Many girls were her friends, but there was something she wanted now.

She wanted to meet Sokka again. Well, they left on slightly salty terms and Nik really didn't have any way to bring her family alongside her. The other girls from the same world didn't even want their family members to follow them so they didn't mind the loss. Neither did Katara but Sokka was more than her family. He was a good friend, too. A goofy one, but still a friend and a loving elder brother.

"Hmm," Hearing the trio's report, Yuriko looked towards the edge of the forest, finding a few girls emerging. Well... two girls were actually riding the other two.

Seeing Yue ride Asami with the widest grin with an annoyed Korra giving an unconscious Nezuko her back made Yuriko wonder what could have gone wrong with simple scouting.
