Hello! I'm BACK! (sounds of cheering and clapping). Thank you, thank you. I
really don't deserve it. Really, I don't. Now, as you've probably guessed,
I'm going to try to write some more today, but after this, I won't be able
to update due to exams and all.
Not much else to say, except Merry Christmas!

That night it snowed.
Chihiro and Haku woke up the next morning to find the mountains outside covered with clouds, and the vast plain itself buried in snow. The sun was bright, and the way that it glistened off the snow blinded them, hurting their eyes.
They had not yet received word as to whether Link had awoken yet, and figured that he must not have since it was clear that Jumari wanted them out of the tower as soon as possible.
They sat on the couch, cuddling together, Haku playing with Chihiro's hair, and Chihiro with her face buried into his chest.
"How did you sleep?" Haku spoke softly, with a hint of tenderness in his voice.
"Well enough. I wanted to be with you, though." Chihiro sighed.
"I've been thinking. Maybe we should have the wedding here, in the gardens outside. That way, Link will be able to be there, though he wouldn't otherwise."
Chihiro looked up at him, and the look on her face showed off the admiration she had for him. She hadn't been sure that he would even WANT Link there, much less go to all this trouble so that he could.
Haku leaned down and kissed the top of her head, then proceeded to get up.
"Don't go." Chihiro shivered as his warmth left her side.
"I think it's high time we had something to eat. I'll be right back, so don't worry." He walked out of the room and headed down toward the kitchens.
*~*
Chihiro layed where she was for a moment, then got up and went to make her bed. She noticed that Nami hadn't gotten up yet, and was still lying motionless in the corner of the room. The way he was lying, he could have easily been mistaken for a dust ball. She giggled.
{He looks so cute lying there.} She stopped herself. {Not as cute as Haku, though} She couldn't wait to tell Nami that she was getting married. If only her mother were here. She would probably go off the deep end, saying something about how Chihiro was only sixteen, and therefore no where near old enough to be getting married. Her dad, on the other hand would first say that he was so proud of her, and after that would say that if Haku ever hurt her in any way, he would rip him to shreds. That was just the way that her parents were. They always HAD been a little weird.
Nami was stirring now, even as she finished making Haku's bed. She walked over to him and picked him up, carrying him out into the sitting room, where she put him down on the couch, then turned to make a cup of tea. When she turned 'round again, he was sitting there in his human form.
"Nice ring." There was a twinkle in his eyes as he looked at her.
"Yeah," she murmered, still in a daze about the whole thing.
"So, how'd he propose?" He looked at her curiously.
"Well, he kissed me, and then when he drew away, there was the ring. It was so romantic." Chihiro handed Nami his cup of tea, and then sat down next to him with her own.
"So, when's the big day?"
"We haven't exactly decided yet, but we know that it's going to be sometime soon, and we're going to hold it here so that Link can attend."
Nami looked away.
"Have you chosen who's going to serve as the best man and maid of honor?"
"Well, I was pretty sure that we're going to have Link be the best man, and I think that Lin should be the maid of honor. I was going to ask you if you would serve as one of the groomsmen."
"It would be a delight, as well as an honor." Nami sipped at his tea, then shuddered. "It's a bit bitter."
"Well, that's because there wasn't much left, and I had to make it work for two cups. I'm sorry if you don't like it." Chihiro looked away.
"No, of course not. I just am not used to bitter tea. Truth is, I've never had tea before in my entire life!"
"Really?" This struck Chihiro as funny. "How can you have never had tea before?"
"Well, when you live in a cave under a hill, you don't get that opportunity much."
As they talked, the door to the room opened, and Knoma came in, Haku close behind him. They were both balancing trays laden with foods and rolls and pastries and all sorts of other magnificent breakfast food. Knoma put his tray down on the table, then proceeded to begin to serve them, Haku helping.
"Has Link woken up yet?" Chihiro was anxious to find out why he hadn't come to them yet. She believed that if he was awake and knew that they were here, he would be sure to come to them right away. There was no doubt in her mind that he would love to see them.
"No, I'm afraid not. Mistress Jumari can't seem to figure it out. He was healed right after the torture, so there should be no reason for him to remain comatose. It's very strange."
Chihiro thought for a minute, then had a wonderful idea.
"Why don't you let me go see him. I could probably wake him up."
Knoma looked rather startled at this suggestion, and it took him a few moments to finally comprehend what she had said.
"Go. to him? I don't know. I would have to ask Jumari before I could let you do something like that."
"Well, then why don't you go ask her?" Chihiro sat back, clearly indicating that this conversation was over. Knoma made as if to say something, but seemed to think better of it, and turned around and left the room. Haku turned toward Chihiro.
"So, have you told Nami yet?"
Nami nodded. "I think that it's wonderful. Chihiro asked me if I'd like to be one of the groomsmen, and I thought that it was a wonderful idea. I also think that it was very noble of you to want to ask Link to be your best man. Haku looked over at Chihiro, who mouthed 'I'll tell you later'. He nodded in assent. Nami looked at the two.
"I have an appointment to talk with Jumari, so I'll be leaving the two of you alone together." He winked, then walked out the door and shut it behind him. Haku proceeded to jump on top of Chihiro and smother her face and neck with kisses. She giggled.
"Stop it. What would happen if Nami had left something here and came back to fetch it?"
"MMPHHH." Haku brushed her hair out of his mouth. "Let him. I couldn't care less." So they proceeded on with the make-out session.
Not much else to say, except Merry Christmas!
