This is the final part to my story. I hoped that all of you that have been reading and keeping up with it enjoyed it.

Tamahome is waiting patently in his room for Miaka to come. "Hmm. Hmm." A clock is heard ticking in the background, he starts to get mad. "Why am I still waiting? Chichiri!

"Coming sir, coming. Such a brisk day. You look positively chilled to the bone ya know!" Chichiri said trying brightening up the mood.

Tamahome was not in the mood to be cheered up, "Where's Miaka?"

Chichiri was not giving up, "How about a nice pot of tea sir ya know? Just a little ya know."

As Tamahome took the tea he said, "Nakago play Miaka's song." As Nakago begin to play Tamahome yelled, "You're not singing."

Nakago was not to thrilled by singing, "Deck the halls with boughs of Holly. Fa la la la la la."

Tamahome was stilll yet to be pleased, "Louder!"

"Tis the season to be jolly."

"A bit more tea sir? Good for the heart ya know." Chichiri said with a smile.

"No. Thank you." Said Tamahome.

"Just a spot."

"No more."

"But there's always room for tea ya know."

"I said no more!"

" Ok ya know!"

"Chichiri, are you trying to distract me?"

"Goodness no sir. Heavens, is that a yellow-bellied double-breasted sapsucker ya know? Rare this time of year."

"Enough! Where's Nuriko? Where's Miaka?"

Frightened Chichiri said, "Miaka? We can't find her ya know."

Then furiously Tamahome said, "What! Leave me!" He picked up a mirror and looked into it, "show me the girl!" It showed Miaka in the snow walking away, Tamahome thought she was leaving the castle. "I will bring her back!"

Yui is in the main room looking at the decorations that the others had put up, "No, no, no, no, no. You can not mix bells with holly. Still I have to admit...not bad for amateurs." Tamahome enters the room and knocks all the decorations onto the ground. He then runs out of the house. Yui emerges from the mess saying, "I knew this was hopeless."

Miaka and Chiriko are in a sled and Mitsukake is hanging onto the sled. Chiriko then sees a tree. "There! That's it! That's it!"

Miaka agrees, "Oh, Chiriko it's perfect!" They then go to cross the ice to get to the sleep.

Tasuki and Nuriko are they're trying to find Miaka. They are very are behind, "Do you see her?"

"Not yet. Now come along, hurry." Tasuki was way ahead of Nuriko.

And also Nuriko was being lazy, "You go on. I'll never make it. Save yourself."

"It will be summer before we reach them."

"What the..?"

"Hold on!" Tasuki uses Nuriko's clock like body as a sled, and they go flying though the snow.

"Whoa! Oh dear!"

"Faster faster! I think we've finally found a use for you. Clock boarding. No snow clocking. Whatever! Faster"

Back with Miaka and Chiriko they were getting ready to cut down the tree, "It's the best tree ever!"

"You're right Chiriko."

"Merry Christmas and a Happy Hanukkah!" Said the axe.

"We'd better hurry. It's getting very stormy." Miaka then started chopping down the tree.

"Oy! Oy! Again, with the chopping." The axe said.

Mitsukake then came out of where he was hiding, "Oh, I've got to do something. Nakago is counting on me!"

"Timber!" Said the axe.

Miaka then turns to the horse, "Take it away Philipe."

"Oh no!" Says Mitsukake.

"Mitsukake?" Miaka says.

"Uh, Hi Miaka. Nice tree."

"What are you doing way out here?"

"Ah, nothing. I just was a, walking. I mean I love the bitter cold." He then blows his horn and it makes the horse upset, and he breaks the ice

"Philipe! Oh no!"

Chiriko didn't care about the ice, "The tree Miaka! We're going to lose the tree! Noo!" Chiriko loses his balance and falls in the water.

"Chiriko! Where is he?"

"Help! Help!"

"Hang on cherie! I will save you!" Tasuki yelled out then.

Nuriko acting as a sled still came out then, "Oh dear."

"Oh no, oh gosh! Oh no, oh gosh! Oh no, oh gosh! Oh no! Mitsukake says. Miaka goes under the ice and grabs Chiriko.

The axe and Mitsukake both saw Miaka under the ice and the axe set her free.

Miaka didn't care about herself, "Oh Chiriko thank goodness you're safe."

"I wasn't scared."

The tree had a rope attached to it, which them took Miaka under the water. She was then stuck under their, Tamahome arrived and pulled her out to save her.

"Miaka" Said Chiriko.

Mitsukake felt really bad, "Oh no! What have I done? It's all my fault."

Tasuki knew the truth, "We all share some blame, for daring to hope for Christmas."

Miaka was then sent to the dungeon. It was a cold and dingy place. But before the door of it was closed Tamahome said, "You said you'd never leave."

"I wasn't trying to leave. I just wanted to make you happy." Miaka argued. But it was no hope.

"You broke your word and for that you will rot in this dungeon forever."

"I should have known that you'd never be anything but a Beast."

Tasuki was in another room, the clock on the wall then chimed 12, "Midnight. Merry Christmas Nuriko."

"If only it were." Nuriko looked disappointed.

Nakago was not going to cheer Tamahome up anytime soon. "Oh my dear old friend. I told you not to feel for her. Things were so much simpler before she came along, before we dared to..Hope."

"Oh, I though she was the one."

In the dungeon the servants tried to cheer up Miaka.

Chiriko was the first to speak, "Miaka?"

"Hello." Said Tasuki.

"There she is ya know." Chichiri said then.

Nuriko said, "Merry Christmas."

Chiriko then got depressed "doesn't look so special to me."

Miaka looked like she had been crying, "Oh Chiriko, I'm sorry. Nothings changed."

Back in Nakago's room, Tamahome was thinking, "Ah, it tears me up to see you this way master. Why do you torment yourself? There's the symbol of your curse. Destroy it! And end these adolescent notions of love and redemption. End your pain forever."

Tamahome walked over to the rose and lifted the cover off it

"Yes! Do it! Smash it!"

Tamahome goes to smash it , when a pedal falls on the present Miaka made for him, "Miaka."

"What are you doing? What is it? Oh a storybook. Does this one had pretty pictures you can color?" Nakago laughed, "Utterly dreadful master."

"No! This one is different. It's from Miaka."

"Well that would account for the creative wrapping."

"Quiet! I want to read."

As Tamahome read he could hear Miaka's voice through the pages, "Once upon a time there was an enchanted castle. It's master seemed as cold as winter. Deep inside his heart-- His cries echoed through the stone wall of the castle-- though surrounded by servants, he was all alone. And in that simple act of kindness, he knew that someone cared. Christmas that year was spent exchanging humble gifts but the greatest gift that anyone received was the gift of hope."

Tamahome said, "Hmm...Hope"

"Master! Come back! She'll only prolong your torment!" Nakago yelled as Tamahome left.

Tamahome then goes to the dungeon and frees Miaka. Nakago gets mad and tries to bring down the house with his music. Tamahome beats him and Nakago dies. All the servants then cheer.

It was now back to the present time. "And what a wonderful Christmas it was ya know. I suppose if anyone saved Christmas it was Miaka." Said Chichiri.

Then Tamahome came out, he was human again and as radiant as ever, "Merry Christmas, one and all!"

Everyone then said, "Merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas to you sir." Nuriko says.

"Merry Christmas everyone." Says Tasuki.

"I believe we have a little something for you Chiriko." Miaka said.

"A present? Oh boy, thank you! Oh look Chichiri, a storybook! Will ya read it to me?"

"I'd love to ya know."

"Oh boy!"

Tamahome then announced, "Maestro."

"Yes, master?" Mitsukake says standing there.

"Would you do us the honor old friend?"

"I'd be delighted." The music then starts.

Tamahome then goes out onto the balcony with Miaka. He gives her a gift, a single rose. She loves it and they look out onto the sky together.
