This is part 3 of my story! Disclaimer: I do not own these things so don't sue me.

Miaka sat in her room as the little teacup Chiriko bounced next to her. "When I get to know him, We'll find more things to say." Miaka talked about Tamahome the beast.

Chiriko listened with amazement. "So what is the story going to be about?"

Miaka looked over at him and started to wonder, "I know! But I'm not going to tell you right yet. You'll have to wait just like he will."

"Oh...ok" Chiriko said then. "Do you think the master will like his gift?"

"I do. Miaka said.

"So does this mean we're gonna have a Christmas?"

"Uh huh, absolutely"

They then left and walked to the kitchen. There Nuriko, Tasuki, and Chichiri were waiting for them. Miaka then explained her idea to them.

"Absolutely not!" Nuriko raged.

Wineglasses that were once servants sat there listening. "Why not?" There voices were high pitches and screechy.

"Out of the question. Not a chance. Dream on. Not any possibility, forget it!" Nuriko could never understand their feelings. The Cup slumped over and Nuriko yelled, "suck in that gut."

Tasuki begged to differ, "Ah my friend get with the spirit. Unwind."

"Come one dear, have a heart ya know." Chichiri also argued.

The wineglasses then wined their way in, "Yeah, come on."

"No, no and let me think... NO! This is where I put my foot down. The master has forbidden Christmas." Nuriko thought of the master then.

Miaka then got involved with the conversation, "Forbid Christmas? No one can forbid Christmas."

"He doesn't wish to be reminded of his past, and Christmas is a most painful reminder of it. I, for one do not wish to torture him." Nuriko was being himself. Selfish.

"I, for one think that a little Christmas cheer would do him for good." Miaka seemed to know where this argument was leading.

Tasuki who never agreed with Nuriko said, "The girl is right. It is up to us to do something."

It's not our place to get involved. No, no, no, no. We just can't mind our own business can we? We just have to stick our weight where it doesn't belong." Tasuki then annoyed by the way Nuriko was acting about the situation, pulled out his fan and cast it on Nuriko. "AHHHHHHHHH!!!" Nuriko went flying up in the air and landed in a bucket of water. "Uh... humiliating."

"Pish paush ya know. I think it's a wonderful idea ya know." Chichiri said.

"But the master doesn't want it. His castle... his rules." Everyone was beginning to get really mad at Nuriko.

Even Chiriko was whining, "It's not fair!"

The wineglasses were even worse, "He's right... it's not fair!"

"Don't whine glasses." Nuriko spat.

The Wineglasses looked scared, "Were sorry."

"Look at us, squabbling and bickering, breaks my heart to see it, it does. And we used to be at our very best at Christmas. Why we used to prepare a feast for the entire castle ya know." Chichiri would be the one to start making scene.

"Ah, you could have some stuffed turkey..." Went Tasuki.

Miaka knew what was going on, "Cranberry sauce..."

"Shortbread cookies!" Chimed in Chiriko.

"Mince pies..."

"Pecan toast, gravy ya know..." Joined in Chichiri.

"And Christmas pudding!"

"Pu-pu-pudding? With custard?" Nuriko was trapped. And he knew it. He loved to eat and pudding was even better.

"What do you think we are? Barbarians? Of course with custard? And raisins... and brandy... and all those things you like!" Tasuki had won the battle then.

Nuriko couldn't resist, "Oh...um...oh, all right."

"Yes!" Everyone said together.

Then the worrying started up again, "But if the master finds out about this he will be furious, so everybody keep quiet."

"Come on! What are we waiting for? Christmas?" Tasuki asked everyone.

"Good heavens! We don't have much time! It's Christmas Eve!"

"I'll see to the dinner ya know." Chichiri said ambitiously.

Tasuki was really getting into it, "I'll get some mistletoe." He grabbed one of the wineglasses and swung them around.

"We need to brighten this place up." Miaka suggested.

Tasuki the dropped the whine glass and said, "Miaka, I know someone who will help."

"Now, now, wait for me. I'm in charge here, I'm in charge." Nuriko said. Yet everyone had gone. "Wait for me!!"

They then were beginning to climb up the castle stairs. It was a part of the castle Miaka had not yet been to. Chiriko was even counting steps, "One thousand one, One thousand two, one thousand three... are we there yet?"

Miaka sighed, "Not yet."

"Boy there sure is a lot of stairs here! One thousand seven, one thousand eight, one thousand nine." The one thing they didn't know but a little spy, Mitsukake was behind them.

Walking around in the attic, when they got their Miaka said, Hello? Hello?"

"Do not be afraid mis ami, it is I, Tasuki, who has come to pay you a little visit."

A young girl who was in the shape of a Christmas angel popped her head out of a trunk, "Tasuki?"

"Yui."

"Ah, Tasuki, finally, I thought we were to be locked away in this dusty attic forever."

"Ah, Angelique, mon amour, you eyes are still so lovely after all these years."

"Tasuki, please, you'll tarnish the halo."

Miaka then feeling forgotten cleared her throat to get their attention.

Tasuki then remember she was standing there, "Oh yes, this is Belle, our guest."

"Pleased to meet you." Miaka said politely.

"And this is Yui. She is the castle decorator."

Yui didn't seem so nice, "You mean was the castle decorator. I am not responsible for this baroque atrocity. When I was in charge the castle was full of light and beauty."

"Ah but cherie, that is why we have come. Gather round mes enfants, we are planning the greatest Christmas celebration ever!" Tasuki gathered them around.

"Yey!!!"

"No! Stop!" Yui protested.

Tasuki seemed confused, "What is it cherie?"

"Why do you raise my hopes? I mean, um, their hopes. Only to have them dashed? Well, no more."

Miaka wasn't about to give up. "But it's Christmas eve, without you, we'll never get the castle decorated in time."

"Ha! Christmas! I refuse to hope for it anymore. I will not be disappointed again."

"But this is to be the greatest celebration ever! We can not do it without you."

"But of course you can not. Christmas takes planning and organization. No! No! I won't do it! It won't change anything!"

"I believe it will." Miaka said. Then they walked into the kitchen.

"We're going to have the greatest Christmas ever!" Chiriko said.

Miaka replied, "Oh, I hope so Chiriko."

"You, on the left, you on the right, follow me. There is decorating to be done!" Tasuki said.

"Yes, yes, but keep in mind. The master mustn't find out!" Nuriko said.

"Ohhhhhh Yes!" Mitsukake said.
