A loud 'NO!' was shouted out from the depths of Spirit World, A fiery phoenix looked up in surprise. "Now, why did Xai Mei yelled that out?"

The fire bird flew to where the yell was heard, she landed near a female wearing a red and white priestess robe. The female was shaking her head, she looked up when the bird asked, "What is wrong, Xai Mei?"

Xai Mei looked worried to the phoenix as she told what was wrong, "Today, the wife of the Fire General Iroh has just killed herself from the grief of her son dying." Xia Mei got even more worried as she continued, "Tomorrow in the morning, Iroh will kill himself to join his son and wife, I must find a way to keep him alive tomorrow... He can't die! If he does die, Fire Prince Zuko will likely go insane if he ever get sent to hunt down the Avatar!"

The bird stared and almost shouted out, "He'll do what? Hm... Thats not good, Wait!" she gave a bird grin and continued joyfully, "I think I have a idea to save the old man!"

Xai Mei looked hopeful and said with a begging tone, "Oh! What is the idea?"

The bird stretched her wings and said to the seer, "Follow me, I shall show you the person, who will help my idea."

A little later, a young man, who was leaning on a tree, almost jumped out his skin when a phoenix landed near him, he stared at the bird and asked hesitantly, "What do you want, spirit?"

The phoenix smiled, well, as much as a bird can smile and waited for a woman in priestess outfit to catch up with her, when the seer did catch up, the bird answered the young man, "You are Iroh's son, right?"

The young man nodded his head, and said, "Yes, my name is Shen, is it something about my father you want to speak me about?"

The phoenix nodded her head andsaid pleasantly, "Yes, it is about you father, but we have to wait for Xai Mei to catch up and then we will tell what this is about."

Xai Mei caught up to the phoenix and started to catch her breath, the bird quipped, "Took you long enough." The seer of the future, the past and the present glared at the phoenix and growled out.

"Shut up. I am not as fast as you!" She glanced at the young man and blinked, she spoke, "Iroh's son? ...What are you planing?"

The bird grinned mischievously and nodded her head to Shen, she said, "I will tell you after you tell the kid what you told me a few minutes ago."

The seer glanced at the fire bird and shook her head, she told the young man what she said to the phoenix before. By the time she was done, Shen stared in shock. "No..."

Xai Mei gazed at the phoenix and said, "I have said what I had to say, now what is your plan?"

The phoenix nodded her head, and observed Shen. "Would you do anything to keep you father alive?" She waited to see what Shen will say or do, Shen nodded his head, and she continued, "Good, then I can reincarnate you as Zuko... Do you still want do it? Be warn, you will not remember that you are Iroh's son, you will be Zuko through and through."

Xai Mei and Shen stared in shook at the bird, Xai Mei said first, "You want to do what? Are you sure... this will allowed?"

Shen looked thoughtful and spoke up, "I will do it."

The phoenix smiled and nodded her head, "Let do it then, Xai Mei, I don't care if it not allowed, I am going to help that old man."

After the phoenix did what she had to, to do the reincarnation, Xai Mei shook her head and remarked to the bird. "You are on your own if anyone decide you over step your boundaries, you do know that?"

Joi Saang smirked and nodded her head. "Yes."

A/N: Joi Saang means raise from the dead, rebirth.

...What?

Xai Mei is just a name I made up. :P
