-Couple of hours later-
The men of the shop emerge from the room in their Christmas best. For Syaoron's outfit he's wearing a black tux with a white undershirt. He is also wearing a bright red tie and coal black shoes. For Fai's outfit, a navy blue tux outfit with white shoes and a bright blue tie. He is also wearing a Santa hat on his head (he thinks he looks cute on him but Kurogane think it looks more babyish then cute.) As for Kurogane's outfit, he decided to go for a different look. For his outfit, he is wearing a dark green hakama with a white undershirt and Japanese sandals with socks (1).
The men walk down the hallway and into the party room to await the girls to come out, there the three strikes up a conversation.
"And that's what one of the origins of Christmas is." Syaoron concluded after explaining to Fai and Kurogane who both asked about where Christmas came from.
"That's stupid. Some kid was born and the whole world freaking stops!" Kurogane retorted angrily. He was rather pissed at the story.
"Calm down Kuro-puu."
Kurogane glared.
"It's just a story. And as Syaoron remind us earlier, it's just one of the many stories of where Christmas comes from," Fai said with a smile.
Kurogane was silent. The mage does have a point. Still, I can't believe just one kid is responsible for this ridiculous holiday. He continued to remain silent for a few moments.
Syaoron glanced at Kurogane with a worried expression. Kurogane caught the look and patted his head roughly. "I'm fine kid," He softly said. Syaoron smiled.
Unbeknownst to the three, the girls were already walking down the hall and into the room. When the men turned to see them, their faces quickly became red with embarrassment and awe.
For Yuuko's outfit, she is wearing a red dress which is revealing on the chest area with gold jewelry and black high-heels. For Maru and Moro's outfits, matching white dresses with red frills and white kid-heel shoes. For the Mokonas (who just awaken and wanted to dress-up too), wore girl/guy outfit for a school; a uniform if you will. Lastly Sakura, for her outfit, she is wearing a long, baby-blue dress with long sleeves, a blue-jeweled necklace, and white kid-heel shoes.
Syaoron was blushing to the nth power. Fai was smiling a real smile. As for Kurogane; he avoided eye contact completely in hope that no one sees his own blush on his face.
Unfortunately, Yuuko caught it.
"My my. It seems that the ninja likes what we are wearing." Yuuko teased.
Kurogane's blush intensified. "N-n-no I'm not," He stuttered, trying to maintain what little dignity he still retained.
Yuuko just smirked and walked further into the room. Sakura who's having a blushing bonanza courageously walk towards Syaoron who's having a blushing fight of his own.
"H-how do you the dress? Is it too much?" she asked innocently. Syaoron shook his head and gave out the brightest smile anyone (including Yuuko) has ever seen.
"Not at all, pri-Sakura. I think it looks great on you." Syaoron said correcting himself. Sakura returned the smile; grateful that Syaoron didn't use her title for once.
"Well then." Yuuko said as she clapped her hands, catching everyone's attention. "We still have a few people coming here so make sure you all are on you best behavior. Is that understood?"
In response, she got 2 yes's, a union cheer, 2 jumping Mokonas, a smile and a growl. She smiled and looked to her right. Everyone followed her line of vision, confused. She nodded knowingly. "It seems that the rest of the party is here."

Opening the front, three people walked into the shop, two guys and a girl. They all walk towards the room and saw everyone in their Sunday best (2). Yuuko did a little 'yay' as she sees the newcomers walk into the room.
"Well Watanuki, it seems that you've done your part well. Now that Doumeki and Himawari are here we can start the celebrations!"
Watanuki blushed in both shame and embarrassment. Doumeki nodded but remained expressionless and Himawari smiled. For Watanuki's outfit, it's a simple tux with a brown tie and black shoes. For Doumeki's outfit, it's a dark blue hakama with silver sandals. For Himawari's outfit, it's a red frilly dress that's past down to her knees, with matching earrings, high-heel shoes and bracelets (Watanuki couldn't stop staring on their way to the shop and though no one was there to see it, Doumeki was slightly glaring at her.)

Through the first-half of the night, things went rather smoothly (though it freaks Watanuki out on many levels). Everyone ate all the food and was having conversations amongst each other. Even Kurogane was calm and collected (which freaked out everyone there on almost all levels of sanity). However, all of that was flushed down the toilet around midnight when Yuuko decided that things are too boring and wanted to liven things up a bit.
Sneaking out of the room, she tip-toed to the kitchen where she stored the strongest alcohol known to mankind (rumors has it that it was a compensation from someone in Europe- even Watanuki doesn't know-.). Inside the kitchen, Yuuko looks to her left and smiled at the cabinet, which has a lock, above the counter. She walks towards it. She then pulls out a key in-between her chest (please don't say anything about it I'm no pervert and besides with boobs that big you are bound to hide small crap in there.), and unlocked the cabinet.
Inside was a single bottle but what makes this different was the label on it.
XXXXAEQUUS:The perfect drink to make a boring social gathering into a party of the century.
Warning: when mixed with non-alcoholic drinks, the consumer might experience euphoria or corny romantic moments. Use it with major caution.
Yuuko smiled evilly.

-One Hour Later-
Hell. Pure, indescribable hell. Watanuki's eyebrow twitched as he sees the scene before him. I knew that damn witch will pull a stunt like that. It was only a matter of time. He was hiding across the street from the shop when the incident occurred. Now he's too scared to come back.
What did he see before him, well it all started when Yuuko somehow slipped the alcohol into Fai's, Doumeki's, and Kurogane's drinks. Then out of nowhere Kurogane bended on one knee and professes his love to Fai in Shakespearian language. It freaked Fai out until the alcohol kicked in and responded in a corny way possible.
---How it went---
"Oh Fai, how I love thee." Kurogane's eyes were half-way lidded with his face slightly pink. "Let me count the ways." Even on a bended knee, Fai was a little concern for his sanity.
"Um, Kuro-sama? What are you—" Then Fai's eyes were suddenly clouded and looked at Kurogane with the most disgustingly cute look anyone has ever seen on a person much less a man. "Oh Kuro-Romeo, Oh how I long to be with you." Everyone had backed away from them at that point.
Then suddenly, Kurogane hoisted Fai into his arms. "Tonight, my love, we shall become one. I shall take you away and you will be mine." The whole of that line Kurogane smiled a horny grin on his face.
Fai giggled. "Yes, my prince. Please take me away from here. I long to be with you." And with that Kurogane took Fai out of room and into the hallway. No one saw either of them for a while.
--Back to Watanuki—
Though it was a rather weird moment for everyone, it was not the reason Watanuki was outside, across the street, and afraid to come back. This was why.
--Rewind—
After the horrid (but yaoi-like) Moment, Watanuki thought it would be over. But knowing the witch, it wouldn't be. Just after seeing Kurogane and Fai wander off into the hallway, he felt a chill go up his spine. He looked to his right and saw Doumeki looking at him. -Scratch that-, checking him out. Watanuki's eyes widened as Doumeki's lips curve the smallest smile he ever seen on the guy.
Feeling a bit violated, Watanuki excused himself and walked outside. In the front yard, he looked up at the moon in content. Suddenly he felt a hand touch his shoulder. As usual, he freaked out, jumping out of the way. He saw Doumeki with his hand still out but had the expressionless look on his face.
"If that's what happens when you see friends I'd hate to see what'll happen with your enemies." He bluntly said, unaware how harsh it actually sounded.
Watanuki was about to go on his rant when he just stopped and looked down. Doumeki saw the look and found out he did more harm then good. Then his eyes were clouded and looked at Watanuki (who was unaware at the moment) with a lustful look. He then grabbed Watanuki and holds him tightly in his arms. Watanuki, surprised at the action started to shout and whine about 'personal space' when Doumeki's hand reached up and holds his head.
"You know," He said, catching Watanuki's attention. "I always hated the way you look at Himawari." Watanuki was beyond confused. "Maybe it's because I'm blind or you're too dumb to notice that…" Watanuki blushed. "I've fallen in love with you."
Watanuki was surprised. "Doumeki" Doumeki leaned forward and pressed his lips unto Watanuki's. Watanuki gasped making an unintentional entry for Doumeki's tongue to dive into. They continued to kiss deeply as their tongues danced in each others mouths. As Watanuki lightly moaned, he just realized something…
He's making out with Doumeki.
His eyes opened in realization.
Oh crap.
"AHHHHHHH!"
0000000000000
--Back to Watanuki once again—
That's why he wouldn't come back. First he pushed Doumeki off of him and ran out of the shop property and ran into the city. He then realized what a stupid thing to do and walked back. Well almost. He should've known that it was the alcohol that made Doumeki this way. He hung his head sadly. He came out of his hiding place and started to walk home.
Suddenly he felt another chill go up his spine. He turned around to see Doumeki kneeling behind him. Watanuki wasn't mad but was cautious about seeing him again.
"I'm sorry." Doumeki said catching Watanuki's attention. "I guess I should not have done what I did." Watanuki's eyes started to water. Is he regretting the kiss? "But," Doumeki interjected. "I wasn't lying about falling in love with you." Watanuki looked surprised. So it wasn't the alcohol.
Watanuki sighed and patted Doumeki on the head with much affection as he can muster up. "Look, you jerk, I'm not mad about the kiss. But I'm willing to start over if that's okay." Watanuki whispered the last part. Doumeki almost didn't catch that. He then stood up and kissed Watanuki's forehead in a gentle manner. Watanuki blushed but didn't say anything.
"So, I'll walk you home?" Doumeki said with a slight blush on his face. Watanuki smiled.
"Yeah."
The two left the street with their hands intertwined. Though in the neighborhood, people vaguely heard screaming and shouting after wards.

-Back at the shop-
Yuuko saw the whole ordeal between the two teenage boys and smiled. It looks like the alcohol really did do something after all. Not that I'll drink it that is.
She looked over to the last remaining two; Syaoron and Sakura, holding each other as they slept on the chairs in the corner of the room. They were asleep long before the incident occurred so they weren't traumatized by anything. Himawari is asleep in one of the guestrooms. It seems that the youngsters have enough merriment to fill them up for a long time.
She walked towards the table where the two Mokonas were having a drinking contest. And the white Mokona is winning. Maru and Moro were trying to stay awake but failing miserably. "Maru and Moro. Why don't you go sleep? It's been a long night for all of us." The two girls nodded walking out of the room and into the hallway. Yuuko then picked up the two Mokonas and walked out of room. Before turning off the light, she had an afterthought.
There's no such thing as coincidence. Love is bound to happen, whether or not that person will accept it. That man needs to understand that. Love can overpower anything; even fate.
Yuuko smiled as she carried the two Mokonas and walks down the hallway.
All the lights of the shop still shine brightly as not a single noise disturbs the serenity of the moment.
Thank you to all and to all a good night.
