"Someone, please! Help us get back our precious Yuri!" Yamano screamed as he ran into a bar. Renger and Kouji looked up from glasses of beer, and rolled their eyes.

"And just what has happened to your dear Yuri?" Kouji questioned with a sour mouth.

Renger nodded, "Did she lose her recipe for that pie?" He spit on the floor as Kouji giggled to himself (at least until Renger punched him to the floor). "Or has she come to reconsider my proposal?" Yamano ignored the smart comments, and merely bowed down in front of him.

"I beg you, help us save our sister…she has been captured by the beast!" This only caused the group to laugh loudly. Yamano switched looks with all of the drunks, but he then focused on Renger. If he could convince him, he could convince them all! "I'm not lying, she really was! Deep in the forest, there is a beast! He even gave me this scar!" He pulled his arm up, revealing a wide and deep slash in his arm. The men grew quiet, and many exchanged glances. They all knew that not even a bear was capable of such a scratch; it was unnatural. Finally, Renger spoke.

"Fine, then." He said with a grin, "Take us to this so called beast. If there is a beast, I will slay it. And when I do," His grin grew wider, "I will get Yuri as my bride." Yamano's eyes widened, but he bowed his head in grief with a nod. There was no other way…

"Just ask her, for goodness sakes!" Lumiere smacked his face with a sigh, and looked up at his nervous master. "It can't be that hard; just take her in your hands, and say: 'my darling, let us dine together tonight…I'll show you the world—" After bashing Lumiere's head, Clogsworth sighed, pushing up his glasses and looking hopelessly at the beast.

"Simply ask her to dine politely." The beast growled in irritation; how was he supposed to do it simply?

"That's easy for you to say; you're not a beast!" Clogsworth wrinkled his nose, being reminded that he was simply a clock, and turned.

"Very well then, I shall ask her for you." The beast began to panic as the clock ignored his threats, and continued walking.

"Lumiere! Stop that fool at once!" But Lumiere only shrugged.

"It is for your own good!" And with that, the candle hopped away to join the clock, leaving a shocked beast.

~…………………………~

"Ah, Clogsworth!" Yuri chimed happily as she opened her door. "How are you?" After clearing his throat, he smiled facedly and nodded.

"I am fine, madam. Though the beast is not feeling as well as I." Yuri's eyebrows burrowed in worry.

"Is that so?" She said, tilting her head.

"Indeed it is. But as a matter of fact, I think I know what can cure him." When Yuri tilted her head, he smiled. "You, my dear." Yuri's worried frown quickly turned into a smile of delight when he said this. She clasped her hands together as she bent down to the clock.

"Oh Clogsworth, can I cook dinner for him?" Clogsworth blinked in surprise as she took his small hands in hers, shaking him up and down. "I'm a really good cook, and I'm sure it'd make him feel better!" Clogsworth stuttered out a yes through the shaking he was receiving, and she stopped before jumping up to her feet in excitement. "Oh good! It's been a while since I've cooked, too! I'm sure he'll enjoy it…I can't wait!" Lumiere turned the corner with a smile, already having heard the conversation.

"Oh Yuri!" She turned her head towards the excited candle, and tilted it with a smile. "I'm sure the beast will enjoy it, but you must join him in eating as well. Since his stomach is in knots, he may pretend to eat while you're gone! You have to make sure he eats every bite!" Yuri nodded, pumping up her fists.

"Alright!" Lumiere's lips curled into a scheming smile, and he clapped his hands, causing multiple furniture servants to pull Yuri back in her room. "Eh? W-what? What are you guys doing? S-stop!" The door closed and, and one could hear Yuri's nervous screams. Lumiere turned to Clogsworth with a smile.

"That really was a good idea, Clogsworth! You're such a good mommy!" Clogsworth only sighed in reply to Lumiere's nickname, and began to walk down the hall towards the west wing. "Eh? Are you going to tell the master now? But I wanted to tell him!" Lumiere hopped after the clock frantically, tripping along the way.

"Master, Yuri has agreed to dine with you tonight." The two objects stopped in their tracks as they saw their master pulling out what fur was left on his lower leg. He froze for a second, and then turned, his face nearly filled with tears. "M-Master, what were you—" The beast leapt from his spot in the corner, and he landed in front of the two.

"W-what did you say?!"

Lumiere shook as he reiterated, "S-she said she would d-dine with you! And cook for you, too!" The beast's eyes almost rolled into the back of his head in joy, and he sat back, sighing.

"I'm glad…" The two objects grinned at each other before looking up at their master.

"Well we don't have time to just sit here!" Lumiere announced, clapping his hand-candles together. "We have to get you ready! You haven't eaten in the presence of a woman in years!"

~…………………………~

"Don't be so nervous." The mirror said as the beast paced back and forward in the west wing. "She's probably already downstairs cooking; she won't be focusing on how you look." The beast sent a glare to the talking mirror before continuing to pace back and forward.

"You wouldn't understand; you've got a crush on the dresser." The mirror began to shake and rumble, and the beast grinned in triumph. Before the two could get any farther, the door opened, and Lumiere bowed with a playful smile on his lips.

"Your lady awaits…" The beast gulped before looking at the mirror one more time.

The mirror reflected the beast with a smile, "Good luck." And with a nod, the beast stumbled out the door.

As he walked down the stairs, he glanced up towards the other side, and stopped in his tracks as he saw the love of his life staring back in a yellow dress. His mouth fell as he stared at the blushing red head, who was slowly walking down to meet the beast.

"Sorry you had to wait so long…" Yuri said lightly as they met at the bottom of the stairs, "I was doing my best to cook you a decent meal." Why was she so flustered? She had never been so conscious of her looks as she was now. But the beast only shook his head, and attempted to smile.

"I-It's alright…I didn't mind waiting…" Both were flustered, and Lumiere rolled his eyes as he pushed his master's ankle, pushing him forward. He stumbled a little before remembering his manners and offering her his arm. She gladly took it, and the two walked down the remaining stairs while gazing into each other's eyes. The staff of the castle stared in joy as the two ate together, danced together and sat under the shooting stars in a balcony. There could never have been a more perfect couple. The beauty and the beast.

~…………………………~

"There it is! The castle!" Renger growled in jealousy as he approached the castle doors with a mob behind him. "Let us save Yuri, and kill the beast!" The crowd behind him screamed in agreement and they attacked the door with a giant log. The two elderly brothers scouted the outside of the castle, screaming for Yuri while the mob burst open the door.

The beast and Yuri pulled their heads up in surprise when they heard the log break open the door. The beast quickly pulled Yuri into his protective arms.

"Quickly!" He ordered her, "Go to your room. Stay there until someone comes to get you! Should anyone get near your room, ask Amoire what to do."

Yuri clung onto the beast's tight shirt, "But where will you be?" The beast blinked, but then smiled at her. "I will be fine. Go, now!" He shoved her towards the stairs, and she stumbled before looking back to him with a nervous nod.

"Beast!" She called one more time, causing him to turn with a blink. "Please, be careful." The beast grinned up at her with a nod before she turned, and ran up the stairs and into her room.

She was in her room with only Amoire to comfort her worries, and she stayed there as the beast had instructed. It was when she heard something outside of her window that she moved from the spot on her bed.

"Don't go near the window, Yuri!" Amoire warned. But Yuri continued to move towards it, and smiled back towards Amoire as she opened the window.

"I'm just going to see what that noise was." As soon as Yuri turned her head, she saw something big, dark and furry fall in front of her very eyes. They widened as she stared after the blur, and soon, she was screaming.

"Beast! No!" Yuri screamed as she watched the beast fall to a lower balcony. A cackle rained from above, and she turned her head up as she pressed on the barred window. Renger laughed loudly as he stood in triumph, his knife still in his hand, his knife still bloody. Yuri quickly began to pull on the bars that separated her from the two males on the roof, and as the bars broke, she pushed herself outside. She slid from her higher window, and shuffled her way down to the beast's side. "Renger! What have you done?!" Yuri cried as she tightly hugged the beast's bloody body.

"I have come to save you from this beast, you silly girl!" He said, laughing, "He claimed that you were his, and only his...ha! If only you had been there! " Yuri felt tears flow down her cheeks as the storm continued to rage. She looked up at Ranger, barely able to make him out.

"I…I am his! I am the beast's, and he is mine!" Angered by her words, Renger quickly lunged down to her, but the wind caught him as he lost his balance, and he screamed, falling down the roof and past the balcony where the two lovers laid. Yuri tried to grab his hand, but he only pulled away, cursing her until he fell to his death. Yuri covered her eyes as she wept; would two men die for her sake tonight?

"Y…Yuri…" She blinked through her tears as she heard her lover's raspy voice. "Yu…ri…"

Yuri wrapped her arms around the beast's neck, "D-don't talk…you're injured." But still, the beast ignored her plea, and he continued.

"I…I have never met…as beautiful a girl as you…" Yuri choked as he said these words, and she hugged him tightly, "I…love you…Yuri…" Yuri's eyes widened, but then tightly closed as she wept.

"I love you too!" She cried as his body went limp. The rain didn't stop. Yuri's tears didn't stop. The only thing that had stopped…was the beast's heart.

Her brothers looked up in shock after having caught Renger by chance. After putting the worthless man down (he was knocked out), they stared up. "What is going on?" Yamano questioned; had they been wrong about the beast?

Suddenly, a shooting star fell from the heavens, and crashed behind the couple. Yuri lifted her head in a start as she stared at the illuminated fallen star. The smoke around it slowly made its way around the beast, and when sudden sparks appeared, Yuri screamed as she jumped away. She stared as the beast floated in the smoke, and began to turn and turn until the smoke covered his entire body. Yuri cupped her hands over her mouth as she stared; what was happening?

The smoke cleared, and down fell the beast. Of course, though, the beast didn't look like the beast.

He stood there for a moment in a daze, and then looked at himself with wide eyes. His hair was the color of his fur, but it was nice, seeing as though it wasn't fur anymore, and his skin was pale and smooth. His eyes were the same, only he stared at the girl he never thought he'd see again.

"Yuri!" He cried, bending down near her. She backed up a little, slightly confused, but then looked closer at his eyes before gasping lightly.

"…Beast?" She whispered. He smiled happily as he nodded, and he took her hands in his.

"You've broken the spell, Yuri! You've freed us all!" Yuri felt tears stain her eyes before she jumped onto the beast with a hug.

"I'm so glad you're alive!" She said, ignore the fact that the curse was gone. "It's a miracle…you're a miracle!" The two hugged each other tightly as the sun broke out from under the clouds. The servants came out, peering at the two lovers from their original forms.

Yuri and the Beast stood up, gazing towards the rising sun hand in hand; everything would be alright.
