Hi, guys, I'm finally back in the game! Sorry it took me so long to update. My WHOLE family got sick and we're just now getting better. Man, it really sucked. But I loved all the reviews I got, it made me really happy. So today, I'm going to post the last two chapters.

Still don't own Tsubasa. AND I don't own the song "Silent Night" from last chapter! Sorry I didn't say that before. (Um, not that anyone would've thought that I actually owned that song...)

Okay then, enjoy :)

"Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas!" Mokona proclaimed loudly, bouncing on Kurogane's head. "Get up, grumpy ninja, it's Christmas! Mokona wants Mokona's presents!"

Kurogane growled angrily, not yet ready to wake up. "Go away!" he told the manjuu.

"No!" Mokona said stubbornly. "It's Christmas, Kurogane has to wake up now!"

"Oh really? Because I don't think so."

"Mokona thinks that Syaoran and Sakura will be really sad if Kurogane doesn't wake up now! You don't want to make Syaoran and Sakura cry, do you?"

"ARGH!" Kurogane yelled, throwing off his blankets and Mokona. "FINE!"

A moment later, he joined Sakura and Syaoran in the hallway. The princess was still wiping the cobwebs of sleep from her eyes, and Syaoran stifled a long yawn.

Kurogane glared at Mokona. "Where the hell is the mage?"

"Mokona doesn't know. Mokona looked in Fai's room, but Fai wasn't there. Mokona thinks that Fai is already up."

"Hmph," Kurogane grunted, before the group began to head downstairs. Kurogane's eyebrows creased. He was sure that if the mage really was up, he would have been able to smell breakfast by now. The ninja walked towards the kitchen, but stopped short as he passed the couch.

There, fast asleep, was the blonde mage, his head resting on the arm of the couch. A half a cup of tea was left forgotten on the end table.

"What are you waiting for?" Mokona asked. "Wake him up, wake him up! Fai will be happy that it's Christmas!"

Kurogane leaned in closer. "Oi! Mage!" he said loudly.

Fai's eyes opened slightly. "Is that you, Kuro-pii?"

"Get up," Kurogane told him, before sitting on the other couch. "And make some breakfast while you're at it."

Fai smiled sleepily and sat up, rubbing the back of his head. "I guess I nodded off," he muttered to himself.

"Why the hell were you down here anyway?" Kurogane demanded.

"I was waiting up for you, of course," Fai replied simply.

"Yeah? Then why didn't I see you when I came home last night?"

"Simply because you didn't look, Kuro-tan. I was here. I didn't see the need to make myself known." Fai stood and stretched his arms out, yawning. "I guess I should get that breakfast cooking," he said, lazily slinking off to the kitchen.

"'I didn't see the need to make myself known'," Kurogane mocked angrily. "How idiotic!"

Mokona bounced into the kitchen after Fai and leapt onto the mage's shoulder. "Merry Christmas, Fai!"

Fai smiled. "Why, thank you, Mokona. And a very merry Christmas to you too."

"Hurray!" Mokona cheered. "When can we open the presents?"

Fai gave a little laugh. "Let's at least eat breakfast first, shall we?"

Once everybody's stomachs were full, they gathered around the Christmas tree. There were only two couches, facing each other. Syaoran and Kurogane on one couch and Fai and Sakura on the other. Mokona chose the floor, already digging through the presents.

Sakura bit her lip nervously. "If…if it's okay with everyone else… I'd like to hand out my presents first."

Fai smiled at her reassuringly. "Go ahead, Sakura-chan."

She blushed and gathered her gifts in her hands. "Moko-chan, this is for you." And she handed him a small package.

"Yay! Mokona gets Mokona's present first!" Mokona cheered before ripping open the present. Inside was a long string of pretty flowers. "Oooh!" Mokona cooed, draping them all over himself. "These are pretty pretty!"

Sakura smiled. "I thought about making you a string of real flowers… But since it's winter, I couldn't find any… And artificial ones last a lot longer."

Mokona jumped up to Sakura's shoulder and kissed her on the cheek. "Mokona loves Mokona's present! Thank you, Sakura!"

Sakura then handed another present to Kurogane. She bit her lip harder. Kurogane's gift was the second hardest gift to find.

Kurogane stared at it for a moment before carefully unwrapping it.

"It's to clean your sword," Sakura explained quickly, as if he wouldn't know what it was. "I hope you like it."

Kurogane nodded. "Thanks."

"Oh, come on, Kuro-poppo! Tell her how much you like it!" Fai told him.

Kurogane grunted. "I said thanks."

Fai leaned over to Sakura. "Don't worry, he loves it to pieces. Believe me, I know Kuro-puu the best."

"You WHAT?" Kurogane growled, overhearing everything. "If you really knew me the best, then you'd know that right now I want to rip you to shreds!"

"Now, now, Kuro-pyu, not on Christmas."

Sakura then handed a present to Fai. "Here you go, Fai-san!" she said.

Fai opened the present and smiled the second he saw it. "Ah! A cookbook!" He turned his smile at Sakura. "Thank you very much, Sakura-chan! I love it." He opened it up and casually flipped through the pages. "I'll be able to make many more things with this." Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Kurogane frown, but he ignored him.

Sakura took a deep breath and took her last gift. This was hard to find… She hoped… She took another calming breath and smiled. "Merry Christmas, Syaoran-kun!"

Syaoran smiled at the mere fact that she had gotten him a gift. He tore the paper, and saw a glint of gold. His eyes widened. It was a gold medallion that was in the shape of a wolf. It hung from a long golden chain. "Wow," was all he could say.

"It's very old," Sakura said with a blush. "I thought you might like it because it's like an artifact…and…" She trailed off.

"I love it, Princess," he said softly. "Thank you very much."

Sakura blushed an even deeper shade of red. "You're welcome."

Mokona giggled. "It's Mokona's turn to give out Mokona's presents!" He picked up the first gift. "This one is for Kurogane and Fai!"

"Hmph," was all Kurogane said. "A present for both of us?" That couldn't be good. He took the gift before Fai could even protest and unwrapped it quickly.

Fai clapped his hands. "Yay! Sake!"

Kurogane held it for a second. "Huh," he muttered. Well, it wasn't that bad.

"Thank you, Mokona!" said Fai. "And Kuronpi says thank you too!"

"Don't go putting words in my mouth!"

"Mokona is happy that Fai and Kurogane like it," Mokona said, completely ignoring Kurogane. "And if Syaoran and Sakura want, Mokona can be sneaky and give you some too!"

Syaoran waved his hands frantically. "Uh, Mokona, I don't think that's a very good idea."

Mokona picked up another something. "And this present is for Syaoran and Sakura! Stand up!"

Syaoran and Sakura, though confused, did as they were told.

"Now get closer together!" Mokona ordered. "You have to, or the present won't work!"

At these words, both Syaoran and Sakura grew nervous, though again, did as they were told.

Mokona unwrapped the gift for them and showed it to them.

Syaoran sighed in relief. It was just some weird-looking plant.

"Um… Moko-chan… What is that?" Sakura asked gently, not wanting to offend her friend.

"It's mistletoe!" Mokona announced proudly. "If two people are under it, they have to…" Mokona lowered his voice and gave a small giggle. "Kiss!"

Syaoran's mouth dropped open in shock, and he began to blush madly.

"Moko-chan…," Sakura muttered, blushing red herself.

Syaoran shook his head. "I couldn't possibly… I mean, not that I don't… Uh! I mean, of course I couldn't… I mean…"

Mokona pouted. "If Syaoran and Sakura don't kiss, Mokona will be unhappy forever! Mokona will be so depressed that Mokona won't be able to transport us to another world!"

Fai laughed at this. "Go ahead," he told the kids. "If you don't, we'll be stuck here forever!"

Syaoran looked down, trying to hide the blush that had completely taken over his face. "Um… I guess if we have to…"

"We don't really have a choice…," Sakura agreed.

Fai leaned towards Kurogane. "Who do you think is blushing more?" he whispered with a mischievous smile.

Syaoran could feel his hands shaking, but went up to the princess and looked her in the eye. He gave her a soft kiss that only lasted a fraction of a second. It was the happiest feeling he had felt in a really long time. The moment he was finished, he nearly fell back into his seat.

Sakura slowly returned to her own, as well. She cleared her throat nervously. "Thank you, Moko-chan…"

"Mokona is soooo happy!" Mokona proclaimed, spinning around. "Fai, give out your presents next!"

Fai smiled. "Okay then. Sorry, but they're not wrapped, so…" He shrugged. "This is for you, Sakura-chan!" He pulled a pretty white hat over her head. "It's to keep you toasty warm!"

Sakura smiled brightly in return. "It's so pretty! Thank you, Fai-san!"

"And these are for Syaoran-kun!" Fai handed the boy a pair of green mittens. "I hope they fit okay!"

Syaoran pushed his hands into the mittens. "They fit perfectly, thanks."

"And a blue hat for my favorite Mokona!"

"Yay!" Mokona cheered, putting on the hat that fit him perfectly and conveniently had holes for his ears. "Thank you, thank you!"

Fai took his last gift from behind his back and threw it around Kurogane's neck. "And this one is for Kuro-pon!"

Kurogane looked at the long, red scarf he had received. Well, at least it served some use. It was really soft, too.

"Hyuu! Doesn't Kuro-wan look handsome in that scarf?"

Kurogane glanced again at Mokona, frowning. "You actually found a hat that fits the white manjuu? With holes for his ears no less?" He asked suspiciously.

Fai laughed merrily. "Ohhh, Kuro-to-chan figured me out!"

The others glanced at him curiously.

"Well, I decided to just make everyone's present!" Fai told them. "That's what I've been doing for the past few days. Last night I stayed up late so I could finish Kuro-wanko's."

"Fai-san, you didn't really have to…," Sakura said, frowning. "If it was that much work."

"Don't worry, Sakura-chan, I had fun! And I wanted something that would suit everyone… And they don't sell Mokona's size. So I just bought yarn and everything else, and here we are!"

"Hmph…," Kurogane grunted, taking off the scarf and giving it a closer look. Now how did the mage manage to make this thing? It was nice-looking enough, he guessed… He wouldn't look like a fool if he wore it…

"You're welcome, Kuro-chi," Fai said.

Kurogane turned away and glared.

"Syaoran gives out his presents next!" Mokona said, holding out his hands, waiting for another present.

"Oh, uh, right," Syaoran sputtered, still blushing faintly from Mokona's gift. He handed his first package to Mokona. "Here you go."

"Mokona is so popular!" Mokona unwrapped his present rapidly, paper flying in every direction. "Oh! A camera!"

"So you've heard of one before?" Syaoran inquired. "I didn't until I bought it… I thought you would like something like that."

"Mokona is so touched!" Mokona aimed the camera at Syaoran and pressed a button, startling Syaoran with a bright flash.

"What the hell?!" Kurogane blurted out.

"It's a camera, Kuro-silly!" Mokona explained. "It takes your picture, see?" He swung the camera around and snapped a picture of Kurogane.

"A picture? How the hell does it do that? Is it some kind of magical…thing?"

Fai laughed tightly. "Oh no, Kuro-chan."

Kurogane folded his arms across his chest grumpily. "Fine. I don't want to know."

Syaoran handed the next present to Kurogane.

Kurogane opened it to see the next volume of Maganwan. He grunted in amusement. He had been looking for it. "How'd you find this, kid?"

"It wasn't easy," Syaoran said with a lopsided smile. "Apparently, this volume sold out really fast. I was lucky to get one."

"Thanks…"

Syaoran nodded in acknowledgment and handed his next present to Fai.

Fai carefully took the gift in his hands and unwrapped it. It was a small silver box.

"You have to open it," Syaoran explained.

Fai, now curious, cracked open the silver box. The second it was open, it starting playing a tinkling little tune. It sounded so pretty to Fai's ears, but for some reason, it also sounded sad…

"What?!" Kurogane spurted. "What a girly present!"

Fai stood and whacked Kurogane on the head. "Don't listen to him, Syaoran-kun. It is a very wonderful gift and I like it very much. Thank you." He closed the box and set it down, giving Syaoran-kun a wide smile.

Syaoran took a deep breath. Time for his last gift… "This one is for you, Princess."

Sakura took the small box from his hands. I wonder what it is…, she thought to herself. She removed the gold bow and took the top off the box. "Oh…" Inside, there was a small silver angel on a dainty silver chain. "It's so…so pretty!"

"I…I um…just thought of you when I saw that…," Syaoran said.

"Oh, because of the wings on the angel, right?" Sakura asked as she took the necklace from its box.

Syaoran nodded. "Yes." Though he'd be lying if that wasn't the only thing that made him think of her. It was an angel. Sakura was his pretty angel, memories or not.

"Can you please help me put it on, Syaoran-kun?"

Syaoran smiled. "Of course, Princess." And he did so, carefully fastening the necklace around her neck. "Do you like it?" he asked.

"I love it, Syaoran-kun!" Sakura responded happily. "Thank you so much!" And, without thinking, she hugged him tightly.

Syaoran carefully hugged her back, almost as if she would break if he held her too tightly. "You're welcome."

Sakura then realized that they weren't done opening presents and let Syaoran go, giving him a parting smile before she returned to her seat.

That was definitely the right gift, Syaoran thought to himself, grinning. I'm glad I found it.

"Kurogane is the last to hand out presents," Mokona proclaimed. "Kurogane better have gotten Mokona something good, or Mokona will have to use the ncha cannon!"

Ncha? the group wondered in unison.

Kurogane grabbed a present and threw it in Mokona's direction.

Fai couldn't help but be surprised. Kurogane got a present for Mokona? Interesting…

"Oh, Mokona is so happy!" Mokona said as he unwrapped the gift to see a huge, rainbow-colored lollipop. "Kurogane is so sweet!" He proclaimed, jumping on Kurogane's shoulder and giving him a huge kiss.

"GAK! DON'T KISS ME, YOU STUPID MANJUU!"

"Mokona knows that Kurogane is a really nice person underneath his grumpy ninja façade! Mokona knows Kurogane's real favorite color is… pink!"

"Hyuu hyuu! How cute!" Fai laughed.

"WHAT WAS THAT?!" Kurogane ripped Mokona from his shoulder and threw him at Fai, who, instead of being injured by Mokona like Kurogane had hoped, gracefully caught the manjuu.

"Kurogane is so mean!" Mokona whined. "He threw Mokona!"

"Don't worry, I'll protect you from Kuro-meanie!" Fai reassured him.

"Fai is Mokona's hero!"

Kurogane grumbled something under his breath that wasn't very polite. But he then handed Syaoran a sloppily wrapped present.

Syaoran's eyes widened considerably after unwrapping it. "It's…It's a book on archeology… And…" He looked at the other book he had received. "A history book for this country." He smiled brightly. "Thank you very much, Kurogane-san…"

Fai smiled as well.

"My father and I celebrated Christmas once, while we were traveling… He gave me a huge book on archeology."

Kurogane couldn't have known that, Fai concluded. But Syaoran must have been reminded of his father by that gift. The boy seemed to be very pleased with his gift, already beginning to read.

"This is for you," Kurogane muttered, handing another gift to Sakura.

"Thank you, Kurogane-san!" said Sakura, even before she opened her gift.

Kurogane only grunted in response, but Sakura smiled at him anyway.

She opened her gift and her smile widened. "Look at this…" She took out a spherical pink ornament with shiny rhinestones decorating it. "This is cute!" She instantly stood, went over to the tree, and hung the pink ornament on one of the branches. "I really like it, Kurogane-san!"

Kurogane didn't answer. He had just thought of the princess when he had seen that ornament in a shop. It seemed to suit her, all pretty and pink like that. Maybe it was because he thought pink was kind of an innocent color for a girl. Well, it didn't really matter either way. The kids were happy, so his job was over.

"Where's Kurogane's last gift?" Mokona asked, looking around. "Mokona doesn't see it."

"That was my last gift," Kurogane growled in response. He didn't even look at Fai. If he did, the mage would probably pull some fake puppy-eyed face or something.

Sakura and Syaoran glanced from Kurogane to Fai.

"Is there something wrong?" Sakura asked worriedly.

Fai had been staring at the floor until this moment, glanced up at Sakura's words. "Of course not!" he said with a smile. "I just told To-chan not to get me a present!"

"Why would you do that?" Sakura said, frowning. "Don't you want a present?"

"Well, sure I wanted a present," Fai replied carefully. "But Kuro-sama had his hands full enough with all that other Christmas shopping he needed to do, so I told him not to bother with me! Don't worry about it, kids. It's nothing to trouble yourselves over."

"But, Fai-san…," Sakura tried again.

Fai waved his hand, clearly trying to say that what was done was done. "That was wonderful. Thank you everyone for your gifts."

Syaoran swallowed hard. "Princess… I hear that there's going to be a Christmas tree lighting in an hour or so… It's kind of like a celebration… There'll be cookies and hot chocolate… Would you… I mean, if you want, we could…"

"It would be wonderful if we could go, Syaoran-kun!" Sakura answered, bringing an abrupt end to his nervousness.

"Mokona wants to go too!"

Sakura smiled down at Mokona. "Okay. Kurogane-san, Fai-san, would you like to go too?"

"I'm a bit tired, so I'll probably be retiring soon," Fai told them, still smiling.

Kurogane gave them a look. "No thanks," he mumbled.

Syaoran shrugged. "Okay then. How about you get ready, Princess? We won't have to leave for a while…"

I know this is a really dumb place to end, but it's okay! Just go on to the next chapter!
