OK, so before I start this chapter I need to add something that I should have said for the last chapter; Naikai means Physician. So I hope you like this chapter. Oh, and there is just a small amount of Maiko in this chapter.

Zuko was terribly tired when he trudged out of the office to go to bed. When he got to the bedroom he shared with Mai he found it empty. Mai was usually asleep or sitting up reading at this time. "I wonder where she has gotten to." he slightly grumbled tiredly. And with that he started to search all the possible places.

First he looked in the room where she sometimes practiced throwing her knifes at all possible targets in the room; including Sokka when he was around. She wasn't there so he moved to the garden. He looked all around, when his eyes reached the turtle-duck pond no one was there. Before anything else went through his head he thought maybe the library.

When he got to the room full of books he saw that the door was slightly open. He looked in and saw her sitting in front of two books on a reading desk. One Book he could see was on dream meanings and the other book was on Extinct animals and was turned to a page on ravens. He heard her whisper to herself "It doesn't make any sense." Then she stood up and started to pace a little. After she was done pacing she turned back towards the books Zuko decided to speak up."There you are."

Before she could turn around and face him he wrapped his arms around her waist and put his chin on her shoulder and kissed her neck. "Hey" she said in response

"Come back to bed." he said

"I..." she said before he interrupted

"Mai" he simply said in a calm voice as if also saying a soft please.

She took a moment to answer but she finally said "Alright" which also sounded like a soft calm sigh. She then closed both books and put them back on the shelves they were on then fallowed him back to the bedroom. When they reached there destination Zuko started to take off the clothes he was wearing then slipping on his sleeping pants and Mai took off her silk black robe and put it back where she took it from.

"I'm so tired." she yawned while laying back down on the bed.

"You're usually asleep by now." he stated while laying down himself.

"Yeah, I couldn't sleep." she said back to him.

"Did you have a dream or something?" he wondered.

"Why do you ask" she asked equipping her lying skills even though she absolutely hated it.

"That dream book was out."

"Oh, I just had it out because I was board." she told him.

"What about that other book?" he asked.

"Same thing." She simply stated getting more comfortable and waiting for him to let go and get some sleep.,

"Why?" Said Zuko, asking yet another question she didn't want to answer.

"Listen Zuko." she calmly said while putting her hand on his cheek. "I'm pretty tiered and I know you are too and you need some sleep after how hard you worked today so can we please." she said keeping her calm voice and a small smile.

"Alright Mai." He agreed then quickly kissed then said "goodnight." He then wrapped his arms around her. But her mind secretly kept going. She thought about what she gathered from the books, which was close to nothing, well nothing that really made sense. First she looked in the dream book which said that ravens may symbolize betrayal, misfortune, death, or disharmony*, which to her didn't really fit the bill. After that she looked in the extinct animals book and turned to the page on ravens and read what she and everyone else has always known, that they went extinct about 10,050 years ago. But then she thought about something that she had never thought about before, how the ravens extinction was different from the rest of the single staged animals; all the other species of animals went extinct one right after the other about 100 years later because the environment changed around them and animals like turtle-ducks and platypus-bears started to move into the world. But what happened to the ravens? Those thoughts drove her into a more peaceful sleep.

I hope you liked that chapter. I decided to put my facts, info, theories and questions in a list form to see how it is, a little experimenting never hurt anyone except unless it involves nuclear so and so. So here it goes:

-* I got this information from .com. It's a really cool site, you guys should check it out.

Theory: I think that in the avatar universe animals that we see in our universe went extinct about the time of the first avatar, I to use my math brain to organize it. This is my personal theory so it is not likely to be true, but it fits for my story so I'm keeping it in.

Question: Do you guys think I should put Sokka in or maybe some other team avatar members or any other characters?

Please tell me what you think through reviews, I cant wait for them all. BAGS OF SMILES TO ALL OF YOU!:D
