If You Leave

A/N: Last chapter, (thank god.) So this will be Zuko's chapter and the closing.

No flames, and yeah. (hot cheetoes are fire flakes. Start naming food after things from avatar.)

Disclaimer: …I don't own avatar.

Chapter 4

"I said kill them" "Ty Lee, get off."

"Then burn their village to the ground." Zuko commanded. His hair was pulled back into a high ponytail, and his face was without his scar.

"But sir! The village is basically a camp for refugees, the only reason that they cant afford to pay the tax is because they were run out of their village." The man begged.

"…are you opposing me?"

"…n-no sir!" The man bowed more.

"I said kill them. We don't need weeds among this country." Zuko paused, "I shouldn't hesitate to kill you too."

The man bowed harder, "Yes sir."

"Leave" Zuko commanded and returned to sitting poised on his gold throne.

"…so?" Mai asked.

Roku's eyebrow arched, "You see nothing wrong with tyranny?"

Mai shrugged.

"You're difficult. ..How did your parents put up with you?" Roku murmured.

Mai just smirked. "This isn't so bad."

Roku suddenly had a smile come across his face. "Watch"

"Zuko…" A woman with soft brown hair sat beside him. He looked at her for a moment, then returned back to focusing on the flames before him.

"Yes?"

"Don't you think you should be kinder?" The woman meekly placed a hand on his arm and he smacked it away.

"Don't you have somewhere else to be?" He sneered.

The woman frowned, "..no.."

"Where is Sho-cao?" He asked.

"Asleep." The woman's head was bowed.

"Then you sleep too." Zuko commanded.

"Yes dear." The woman stood and bowed, leaving the room.

Mai made a sharp hissing noise as she sucked air in through her teeth.

Roku smirked, "What's wrong?"

"I get it." Mai grunted. "Ok?"

"Really?"

"He's only what, sixteen or seventeen now right?"

Roku nodded with a wide smile.

Mai glared at him, "What's her name? Why is she there?"

"Pai, and that is his wife." Roku couldn't help but chuckle at her dark face.

"Can we go back now?" Mai asked.

"Is that what you would like?" Roku asked.

"…" Mai paused for a moment, "Did I…?"

"You did have an effect on him, yes…"

"Ok."

"You might be one of the only reasons that that boy is so forgiving."

Mai's cheeks grew pink, but her expression changed, "Do I even have a chance?"

Roku smiled, "That is for you to decide."

"HU?" Mai paused and felt a breeze go by her face.

"MAIIIIIIIIIIIII, MAIIIIII, Mai, Mai MAIIIIIIIII!" Ty Lee was screaming in her face.

"Get off." Mai shoved Ty Lee off and sighed, "Where did Roku go?"

Azula laughed, "Really now Mai."

Mai looked up to see her three comrades standing beside her bed. (Well, except Ty Lee, she's still sitting next to her.) "I must have fallen asleep."

Ty Lee shook her head, "You were mumbling, and being angry! It was rather funny!"

Mai smirked a bit, feeling a bit happy to see her, "I had a dream that I saw Avatar Roku."

Zuko frowned, "You went to the spirit realm?"

Mai shook her head, "No, it was a dream."

Zuko crossed his arms, "No, Uncle's been to the spirit realm. Did you fall asleep first, or did you just knock out?"

Mai's voice grew quieter, a new respect for Zuko took a hold of her, "I was meditating, and-"

"Spirit realm."

"oh." Mai's eyes became downcast, though she did not become saddened.

Azula laughed, "Spirit realm. Zuzu, I'm shocked that you would listen to such rubbish."

Zuko shot a glare at his sister and he elbowed her in the side.

Azula "ouched" and smacked him back, "Don't push your luck!"

Ty Lee smiled, "Well, are you feeling better Mai?"

Mai paused for a moment and noticed a familiar shadow pass by the doorway and she quirked a smile, "Yeah. I'm good."

A/N: YEY Mai didn't kill herself! AW cheesy x-mas like fic. :sighs: I just finished this after taking a break to watch Charlie's Angels. XD haha. mawahhaahaha. I kept thinking of Azula, Mai and Ty like everyone else as been saying. it's great. (Tomorrow I'm getting Ty-ty over to watch it.) It actually is like Mai, Azula and Ty Lee. Who would have thought? (The bad guy in the first one reminds me of Jet.) Alright. No Flames, please review if you liked.
