Thank you all my sweet reviewers. You have no idea how much I owe you!

Now on with the story!

Last chapter:

Yelan looked up from her literary book she was reading, when a sudden movement caught her eyes.

She frowned when she saw a paper ball lying a few feet from her. She looked up at the side of the mansion in front of her and her frown deepened.

Who is that throwing unwanted things around in the mansion? Aren't tidiness a part of their vocabulary at all. Who'd have thrown this? She thought, walking towards the paper. She retrieved it from the ground and her frown deepened when she read threw the message.

Who is giving a surprise to whom at 12 in the night! Who ever they are, are going to be very sorry when I am finished with them tonight!

She threw the paper into the nearby wastepaper bin and walked imperiously towards the mansion.

The clandestine rendezvous:

Part I:

24th night, 9' o clock to be precise:

Kero, who is under the table along with Suppi:

Kero swallowed a huge dessert as big as him and looked at Suppi, grinning evilly.

Hee heee hee hee! I am so evil! Suppi is going to get heartbreak tonight! He cackled, looking at his favorite rival.

Suppi looked at Kero as though fearful for his sanity.

Suppi:

He smirked at his ' rival' putting up an expression that clearly stated, ' I know something you don't!"

Normal pov:

" Poor you, kero san! I suppose you didn't get anything big for Christmas did you? Well, me on the other hand, am quite a popular figure. Everyone is always keen on pleasing me!" He boasted, looking like he ruled the universe.

Kero snorted. " I'd not be so sure if I were you, baka" he muttered under his breath.

" Huh? What? What did ya say?" Suppi asked with a questioning gaze.

" Oh nothing you almighty ruler-" he lowered his voice "- of idiots". He sniggered at his own joke.

Suppi cringed, as he suddenly remembered about his delusional state that evening. I can't believe I was acting like a total freak! I can't believe that I, 'I' was actually FLYING AROUND THINKING THAT A PAPER MONSTER WAS FOLLOWING ME ALL OVER THE PLACE! FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE A PAPER MONSTER! What the hell did I think it was anyway? THERE IS NOTHING KNOWN AS A PAPER MONSTER EXISTING IN THIS WHOLE WORLD!

Kero looked on, highly amused by Suppi's behavior. It was all he could do from laughing out loud. He was sure that he looked like a cherry from trying to control his laughter.

At the table:

Well, at the table it was a different story. One could see the same idiotic smiles on everyone's faces, sneaking occasional glances at each of their supposedly 'surprise' throwers.

Though, with Yelan it was completely a different story. She was repeatedly shooting stern looks… well, more like death threats through her eyes. This of course went completely unnoticed by all of them. The only other person who wasn't acting idiotically was Rika, who wasn't able to find Tereda sensie at the table. (Cough… let's just say he spent the dinner with his relatives and would be back in the mansion after the dinner).

Syaoran and Sakura, who were seated next to each other, were of course flirting, ignoring Yelan's constant glares. Surprisingly, both of them didn't bring up the 'major' topic.

Touya was too busy glaring in his sister and the gaki's direction to notice the looks that Nakuru was throwing at him. Meilin and Noako were constantly throwing meaningful looks at Tomoyo and broke into furious giggles whenever she and Eriol caught each other's eyes, smiled and then looked down blushing. The most amusing thing was that, this routine seemed to happen twice in a minute!

The Li sisters were as usually giggling about something that seemed very kawai to them. Yukito was busy gulping down food over food without a care for the world. The containers around him were emptying rapidly.

Takashi was telling a disgruntled looking Touya, fairy tales after fairy tales which went to completely deaf ears, as Touya was still very busy shooting daggers at Syaoran who by now had his hand wrapped securely around Sakura's waist and they looked as though they were going to snog the hell out of each other any moment. Chiharu though, was hearing each and every word he uttered and an instant later she was forcing the extra pizza in her plate down his throat choking him successfully.

After dinner everyone went to their respective rooms to prepare for the 'wonderful surprise' from their special people. Mow, if only they knew what hell of a surprise was waiting for them!

11: 45 PM :

Suppi:

The sky was completely black, cloudless and incredibly starry, giving off a beautiful and romantic atmosphere to the surroundings. The moon was glowing bright, casting a blanket of faint and beautiful white light over the city.

Suppi floated towards the secret meeting place- " The dolphin fountain" singing happily as he waited for the precious surprise. He hovered near the fountain in a feverish excitement. His beaming face was reflecting the lights from the garden lamps. The garden around the Dolphin fountain was possibly the most romantic spot ever. At the very center of the huge garden was a round fountain with a raised platform inside.

Mounted over the platform was a huge statue of a dolphin, stretching its body skyward, with water gushing out of its mouth and landing back into the pool of water around the base of the platform. What gave it the splendorous look was that the base of the pool contained different colored lights that gave the water falling into the pool a colorful look.

The interior of the mouth of the Dolphin was also decorated with bright lights to give the water gushing out, a beautiful glow. Surrounding the fountain, a good ten feet away were a number of huge bushes separating each of the garden benches in a circle along a uniform radius.

Further 15 feet away, these bushes and benches were surrounded by a number of beautiful cherry blossom trees. These trees formed a huge semicircle allowing a broad footpath in the middle leading to the huge fountain, decorated elegantly with bright garden lamps along its sides and around the fountain.

Suppi waited impatiently floating in circles over the Dolphin-fountain, his livid green eyes darting back and forth as though expecting something to jump out on him any minute. Where the hell is this guy! I hate waiting. I need to know what the surprise is before I burst in curiosity! 'The surprise' his train of thoughts paused as it settled over the word "the surprise" he grinned eagerly. The surprise…he looked up towards the entrance when he heard a noise. The surprise… he looked around and his gaze settled over a nearby bush. He was sure he had seen something dart by at the corner of his eyes.

The surprise…" heee heee heee hee eeee!" He turned around frantically. He was sure that he had heard someone giggle! The surprise…it must be the "surprise throwing guy" ( he named the person that) He decided and grinned again. The surprise… OR, IT MUST BE THE PAPER MONSTER! HIS EYES WIDENED AT THE THOUGHT. The surprise…

Oh no not the paper monster hallucination again! The surprise… the surprise… It became silent again. He breathed a sigh of relief. The surprise… " SURPRISE!"

" AAAAAAAHHHHHH!" he screamed at the top of his lungs as he fell off the air and landed painfully on his head. He was sure that he had just experienced the worst death ever. He sat on the ground massaging his head, where he could swear that there was a big bump, as huge as a coconut. Then, he realized that he had lost his balance. He was knocked out of his train of thoughts when he heard laughter or rather maniacal cackling and looked up to see his attacker. What he saw made his jaw drop to the floor.

" YOU!" he shouted, as his eyes narrowed dangerously. It was sometime before kero stopped laughing. " ME!" he bellowed back before he went back to his cackling. Suppi sweat dropped.

" So you were the one" he stated dully.

" Yeah I was the one! The one and only, the great sun guardian- Keroberus!" Kero shouted in what he assumed to be a deep majestic baritone.

Suppi sniggered at the ridiculous gesture. " so…" he said, with an expectant look.

" So.. what?" Kero asked raising an eyebrow. Suppi fought the urge to breathe a laser beam at him. " so, WHERE THE HELL IS THE SURPRISE!" He yelled.

" tut..tut…tut" kero said shaking his head regretfully. " So very eager for a surprise hmm? This shows how desperate you are for gifts. Wooooh! Poor thiiing, you must be staaaarved!" he cooed in a babyish voice. Suppi looked as though he wanted nothing more than to knock Kero dead. Hell! It would be a nice Christmas surprise for everybody! He thought, pleased with himself for such a wonderful idea.

Kero opened his mouth as if to say something but stopped himself when he started hearing voices near by. They were growing louder and louder.

" Who would be coming here at this hour?" Suppi asked looking suspiciously. Kero shrugged looking as curious as he.

" Come on let's find out!" he said pulling him to the nearest cherry blossom tree.

They were floating near the highest branch so that they could easily see who was coming at this kind of time. A few minutes later, two figures emerged into the area and as they approached the fountain, the two guardians could clearly make out their faces from the lights in the lamps and the fountain.

" It's the brat! What is she doing here?" kero asked frowning suspiciously at her and her brown haired friend.

" And, isn't that other girl one of Sakura san's friends?" Suppi asked with a similar expression on his dark face.

" Yeah, Noako Yunagizawa I think" Kero said looking thoughtfully.

" Can you hear them?" Suppi asked.

" Nope! Of course not idiot! They are about 25 feet away!" Kero snapped.

Meilin and Noako:

" Phew Noako, it's 11:50! We have got exactly 10 minutes to get every thing ready." Meilin said, glancing at her watch.

" Come on lets hurry up and finish it" Noako said, taking out two identical headphones and a few microphones from her bag. Meilin nodded and took out the camera that she had stolen from Tomoyo. And, they set to work.

Noako looked around observing the area for the best places to attach all the microphones, while Meilin walked around the area trying to figure out the best place for them to hide without being caught.

After a few seconds, Noako had all the locations planned. She fixed one to the outer most wall of the fountain, five of them to each one of the huge bushes and the rest under each of the garden benches.

" Hey Noako, why do we need to fit so many of them." Meilin asked frowning questioningly, as she walked towards her friend who was fitting the last of the microphones under the last bench.

" Because…" Noako said straightening herself, " we won't miss any part of their conversation!" She looked at her watch. " Oh my gosh! It's five minutes to 12! Come on, did you find a place or not!

" Yeah! It's that cherry blossom tree over there!" Meilin said, holding Tomoyo's camera safely in her hand and pointing to the tree adjacent to Kero's and Suppi's. They ran towards it as silently as possible and stared at its branches.

" Thi…This tree!" Noako stuttered looking at Meilin as though she were crazy.

" Oh come on now! It's not that difficult. Besides look at that branch over there" Meilin said pointing towards a huge branch, " we can get comfortable there and I bet the view will be perfect too!" she said, handing the Camera to Noako.

" First you force me to jump from my window, next you ask me to climb a tree?"

Before Noako could even blink, she saw Meilin comfortably perched on the branch.

" Now climb up!" She shouted to her. " What! Are you crazy! I can't pull a stunt like you! And how in the heaven's name am I supposed to carry this camera along?" Noako said looking aghast.

Meilin sighed, " Fine then, I'll just drop the rope." Meilin said taking her bag.

" You brought a rope? Why didn't you say so in the beginning?" Noako said as she caught the other end of the rope that Meilin dropped to her. She tied the rope securely around the holder of the video camera and gave thumbs up to Meilin.

She waited impatiently, as Meilin untied the camera and dropped the rope again. She tied it securely around her waist and keeping her foot on the bark of the tree, she pulled her self to the branch.

" Phew, Noako you made it in time. Look who has just arrived!" Meilin said, her voice quivering with excitement and relief. Noako settled herself comfortably on the branch and looked towards the fountain. Her jaw dropped down. It was Touya.

" What the hell is Sakura's brother doing hear? Do you think he knows and … and… maybe he has come to catch us red handed!" Noako squeaked, as she put on her headphones.

" No, more like to catch Tom san and Eriol san red handed. Now what the hell are we going to do about this idiot!" Meilin whispered back at her, putting on her own headphone.

Suppi and Kero:

" What the bloody hell is going on here!" Kero whispered to Suppi.

" I don't know but I am definitely goina find out!" Suppi said, flying towards the tree where Noako and Meilin were sitting. He floated behind them and peeked into their bags. A smirk formed on his face when he found an extra pair of headphones in Meilin's bag. He pulled it out slowly and quietly flew away from them, towards the tree where Kero was waiting impatiently.

Touya:

" Well, this is the first time I have sneaked out of a mansion. I must be crazy! Staying at a guest's house and all…" he said aloud, grinning to himself.

" I wonder what the surprise is going to be…"

Meilin, Noako & Kero, Suppi:

" WHAT!" The group on the trees gasped together. Meilin and Noako caught on to the branch before they could fall off.

" So, he did know about the surprise!" Meilin exclaimed to Noako.

" Does he knows about the surprise that I had arranged!" Kero exclaimed to Suppi.

Touya:

He checked the watch and found that it was exactly 3 minutes to twelve.

The person would be here any minute now. I can barely wait to see who it will be! And that surprise too!

Just then he heard shuffling noises followed by a woman's singing. He turned around swiftly, his senses on the alert. What he saw made his jaw drop to the ground. His eyes literally popped out of his sockets. Through the thick forest of trees and bushes he could make out who it was. It was ' The psychopath- Nakuru!'

He was, there was no other word for it but – freaking like the world was coming to an end!

It was a good thing that she hadn't noticed him standing there because of the trees that was shielding the view.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG ! BLOODY HELLLLLL! IT'S HER! I SHOULD HAVE GUESSED BEFORE! WHAT THE BLOODY HELL SHALL I DO NOW!
