Koenma nearly fainted "Botan, I'm going to retire! Don't stop me." Botan gave him a pat on his shoulder "Don't act like that, you'll be okay." Koenma shot back at her "Okay? Will I ever be okay? Rather than getting fired, I'll choose to get retired by myself. Its already 'silent night' today. The twenty fourth of December." Eagle asked Kaori "Isn't it your sixteenth birthday tomorrow?" Hikaru who now got nothing to worry about gave her a hug "You have your birthday in Christmas?" Kaori hugged her back "Yes. No one could forget it." Zagato said "I would never forget tomorrow. Its Christmas, my sister's birthday, and my day of retirement." Princess Emeraude held his hand "It might not be that bad." "It is that bad!" Kaori reading the percentage of getting the diamond back before the end of Christmas "Its 0.0001% possible." Fuu leaned back into Ferio's arms. Ferio asked holding Fuu tightly "Okay, for your jobs, what shall we try now?" Ascot asked "How about you suggesting something?" Ferio looked at Eagle. Eagle looked at Lantis, Lantis turned to Hikaru, Hikaru turned to Yuusuke, Yuusuke looked at Keiko, Keiko looked at Botan, Botan looked at Yukina. Yukina looked at Kuwabara, Kuwabara looked at Emeraude. Emeraude turned to her husband, Zagato turned to his niece, Umi looked at Fuu, Fuu turned to Ascot. Ascot looked at Kaori. Kaori asked "Who should I look at now?" They all sighed when Terrisa entered the room carrying all the tea. She curtsied. Princess Emeraude smiled. Kaori brushed a strand her long light brown hair out of her face. "I'll get a hair cut." She muttered as Eagle played with her hair again. "Don't cut it, you looked sweet with it, really!" Terrisa said smiling at her. Kaori looked at the blonde in front of her. Green eyes stared into blue eyes. "Happy sixteenth birthday tomorrow." She said still smiling. Kaori smiled "You heard it?" She reached out to shake Terrisa's hand. "I'm Kaori." Terrisa blushed as she shook Kaori's hand. Kaori noticed something on her hand. " Diamond ring?" Kaori asked. The diamond was huge. "Its just a toy I found in the snow near the restaurant I'm working in. Do you like it? I can give it to you as your birthday present." She handed the ring to Kaori. Now everyone was looking at the ring in Kaori's hand. Kaori called "Mokona!" Mokona came bouncing over Ferio's head and landed on Kaori's lap. Mokona then goes "Puupupupu!" in excitement. He nodded then said "Pupupupupu!" again. Kaori jumped up and gave Terrisa a hug. "Great! You are the greatest thing on the world!" Terrisa blushed "You don't have to thank me like that…" Kaori turned to Zagato "You don't have to get retired!" Princess Emeraude got a look at the diamond, "This is the super star." She said softly. Koenma jumped up "That means I won't have to retired as well!" Botan gave him a hug. Zagato kissed his wife. "Happy birthday, Kaori, you will be the best detective in this century." Umi exclaimed giving Kaori a big bear hug. "Just a minute." A voice was heard at the door, Shuuichi and Hiei appeared. "Shuuichi! Hiei!" Hikaru cried in joy as she ran to give them each a hug. Hiei grunted in reply. Shuuichi hugged her back and gave her a kiss on her cheek "Thanks for the people who believed us and the people who finally let us go." Koenma apologized "Sorry for the inconvenience." Shuuichi smiled "Never mind." He then turned to Kaori "Thanks to Kaori-chan who cleared my brother and I. And Happy birthday to her as well." He gave her a kiss on her forehead. Kaori smiled "Thanks." Shuuichi turned to Ferio, Fuu and Ascot "I apologize for my brothers rash actions that day, he really did regret what he did." Ferio and Ascot smiled. Fuu nodded as well. Hiei just grunted. "I have said that there was a problem, can you give your theory to the royal house?" They thought for a minute. "No, I guess either no one would believe or there would be people going to come and said that they wanted to bisect Mokona." Lantis said. "But you can't tell the people that no one stole the diamond, it just disappeared." Eagle said. Terrisa sat on a chair next to Hikaru. Hikaru was sitting on the floor next to Kaori, Fuu sat there as well with Ferio sitting on the couch behind her, Ascot stood next to him. Fuu asked "Can we turn on the T.V? I want to see the news." "Sure." Hikaru replied as she got the remote control. The T.V was old and the display was not clear. Fuu frowned when she heard that the deadline for handing in the super star. Then she clapped her hands "I got it." She smiled. "We could do it as a play." Umi asked "What play?" Fuu frowned "I don't know." Everyone sighed. Umi smiled "I got one." She looked at Terrisa with a devilish smile on her face. Terrisa blushed under her gaze. "Fuu, you have read a lot of books, Isn't this a little like a Christmas story we knew?" Fuu looked at her and stammered "You…you mean you wanted Terrisa-san to…" Umi said "Hajime actually said this, one day when he stared out of the palace and saw a girl with long straight sunlight blonde hair, picking something up. He actually said that she looked like an angel. Terrisa, when did you pick that diamond up?" Terrisa said "About the eleventh of December." "That's it, I remembered that day, I was just going out to choose a present for Fuu-chan's birthday and he stopped to talk to me." Fuu said "But using that story…" Umi said "This stupid diamond was called the Super star as well. That Story was 'The Super Star' Don't you think it was a good chance? The case looked quite like it too, except that our prince Hajime is not the hero and there were no human thieves included, though good detectives and police were." Kaori said "That means you want Terrisa to get tripped by someone and fell in front of his carriage? Hey, There were no more carriages in this century." Umi asked "You don't know it? We used a horse drawn carriage to get to the Abbey every Christmas. So the carriage problem would be solved." Hikaru who never read the book stared at Lantis, Lantis didn't know what they were talking about. Fuu caught them looking at her cluelessly. "Well, about that story. Its like this, a huge diamond the super star was stolen by two thieves," All of the room stared at Shuuichi and Hiei. "I'm not the thief." Shuuichi complained lightly. "One of them was called the black Fox and the other was called the black peony." Fuu continued "Black fox, youko." Kuwabara said staring at Shuuichi. Koenma said "We all knew that you have another identity as Youko Kurama, that was shown in Yu Yu Hakusho." Hikaru asked "Its true?" Shuuichi aka Kurama nodded "Yes, you got it." Fuu continued her story. "The two thieves were fighting over it. And during their fight, the diamond was lost in the snow. Just then, a poor girl called Terissa passed by and spotted it. She asked people whether they had lost a diamond. They told her that nobody would be careless enough to lose a diamond of that size and told her to keep it as a toy." Hikaru muttered under her breath "That was just what I told Terrisa." Fuu smiled "Mind your words next time, Hikaru-san." Hikaru blushed. Fuu carried on "She gave it to her sister for a Christmas present. And that night, they went to the church. The prince in the mean time was riding on the royal coach to the church as well. And Terrisa was tripped and dropped in front of the royal coach. The prince called to a halt. That minute, the prince got a good look at Terrisa and fell in love with her." Ferio grinned "just like the first time we met. You fell. Its just that you fell on me instead of falling in front of me in the skating rink." Fuu blushed as everyone go "Oooooh! Its so romantic." Fuu stifled her blush then said "I didn't do it on purpose." Ferio said "Everyone knew you didn't." Fuu nodded as she continued "Just as they started praying in the church, the sparkle of the diamond was caught by the thieves. And they followed the sisters home. Terrisa then received an invitation to the Palace's Christmas ball that night. So the thieves followed. There the Prince danced with her all night." Everyone then turned to Terrisa, she blushed. Fuu giggled. Umi finished the tale for her "But when Terrisa got home, the thieves appeared. The prince appeared and rescued her. They then lived happily ever after." Hikaru asked then "That means you wanted Terrisa to get tripped in front of the royal coach? What happened if the horse didn't stop?" Umi asked "Don't you think anyone of us here could save her easily?" Fuu nodded eyeing everybody. "What happened if she didn't receive the invitation tonight?" Kaori asked. Umi said "If he didn't send her one, I'll send her one." Yukina asked "What if the prince didn't fell in love with her?" Umi said "That's none of our business." Fuu said "Tell me the real plan." Umi said "it would follow the whole story line until the ball scene. There, the lights will go out suddenly, we will all be dressed in white with wings on our backs. Then Ferio will appear on the ice, he will do a one man show for a moment, then Fuu will float into his arms. At this point there will be some music. Shuuichi, Hiei, Lantis, Eagle will appear on the trees." Kuwabara asked "What about me?" Umi said "Listen to me first. Then another group of four guys Ascot, Yuusuke and Koenma and Kuwabara will appear under the trees. Yukina and Botan would walk out from the crowd to Koenma and Kuwabara. Keiko will get to Yuusuke. Hikaru you will appear in the midair and go between Shuuichi and Hiei. Kaori then will appear in midair as well with Mokona and get between Lantis and Eagle. Our star, Terrisa will appear in the middle of the square on the ground then you will get to the air, and float to my brother and give him the ring. If he asked you to stay and you wanted to, stay there with him, and if you don't want to, go to Lantis's house, there we will have a birthday party for Kaori-chan." Terrisa blushed. Fuu said "Umi, how could your plan work? We don't know how to fly!" Eagle said "This could work, Zazu could make us these machines." Yuusuke asked " Zazu knew how to make everything?" Eagle said "Not everything, but nearly everything." Kaori looked at her watch. "There is still twelve hours to go until the ball scene, I'll contact Zazu." There was a few rings before Zazu get to the phone. "Hi, Zazu." Kaori said cheerily. "Kaori- chan?" Zazu asked. "Yeah, its me, I'll get to the point, I know you could make anything." Kaori said. "You bet." came the reply at the other end. "You know how to make flying machines?" Kaori asked. Zazu said "When did you know that I have just created a whole pile of those?" Kaori asked "When did you make it?" Zazu said "Last year's Christmas, you could fly with it, it was in the shape of angel's wings, you want it?" Kaori said "Yeah. We'll come over." Zazu said "See you about fifteen minutes later. Bye" Kaori said "Bye." She turned to the crowd. "Hey, Zazu said that he got them. We'll get to him." Umi said "I'll get you all white clothes. Fuu, I'll get a turtle neck for you to hide that cut." "Thanks Umi-san" Fuu replied smiling. Everyone except Umi and Ascot reached Zazu's work shop fifteen minutes later. Zazu who was under a car, repairing it came out. "Hi, uh...I guess I didn't look that presentable." he smiled. " Zazu, you never looked presentable. Umi-chan, that princess here got a great plan." Kaori said. She pulled Zazu to one side then told him the whole story. "Geez, fabulous plan, huh?" He said. Hikaru looked at him, he was the third person involved in the building atomic bomb business. He was short and tanned. Wearing a strange green cap, with large brown eyes and really short brown hair. "Kaori-chan, here to see your order?" He asked in a mock formal tone. Kaori smiled "Yeah, here to see the stuff you made. Well, I have to say that the engine must not be as big as elephants." Zazu looked offended "Hey, you have no faith in me?" Kaori smiled "No, no faith at all. But I believe in your ingenious brain and creativity." Zazu said "Its this trust in you that kept you my best buddy." "Yeah, you're right. Hey, where's the stuff?" Kaori asked. Zazu said "Here you are, my friend." He said as he yanked the lid of the wooden box off. "See this." He gestured the people to his machines. There laid the white feathered wings, and between the wings, there were a tiny white box. "That is the machine?" Eagle asked pointing to the small box. "Yeah, you got it, Eagle." He said grinned confidently. "You're really a genius." Hikaru exclaimed. Zazu's grin was even broader. "Will that thing work?" Lantis asked "I have no faith in you and I'm dreading your creativity and ingenious brain. Since the time you tried to build that kind of weapons in my basement." Zazu looked hurt "Sorry, Lantis, I really didn't mean to do that to you." Zazu said sheepishly. Lantis rolled his eyes "But I have forgiven you the same time I forgave Kaori and Eagle for encouraging you to do it." Lantis then gave him a reassuring smile. Zazu sighed. "Well, this model was kind of old, I'm still working on the new model. Well, will it work…its a question I don't have an answer, but try it." Every one of them got a pair. "Its ridiculous that we have to take part in this stupid plan of that stupid princess." Hiei muttered. Shuuichi could only put of a patient face. Kuwabara was making faces while Yuusuke was sticking his tongue out as if to vomit. Lantis didn't seem to be too please about that either. Eagle put that on, and turned on the motor. The wings started to flap. Then he gave a little jump, he floated about a meter to the air then dropped down. "It works I guess." Eagle said. Lantis said "Hey, you know how high we are in that show of princess Umi's? We're on a tree, what happened if the machine stopped working? It would be pretty hurt I think, a few broken bones huh?" Eagle muttered "But I did fly for a while." "But fell straight down a moment later." Hiei cut in. "I just don't know why I am here!" He complained. Shuuichi said matter of factly "Well, I guess you don't want to go back and stay with my fans. They only get us out when we would participate in this plan." So they all got to get a pair of wings. Umi went into the workshop. "I got you guys your costumes!" She called. "See if we have to dress ourselves as monkeys." Hiei said. Shuuichi nodded without saying a word. Umi smiled "I promise, all of you will look good, because the palace ball won't allow animals to get in, so none of you will look like a monkey." Ascot blushed. "Some of the costumes were a bit too hot." He said quietly looking at Terrisa, "You got the worst one." He said as Umi pinched him, he shut up immediately. "Fuu, I worked out that you could skate a little in case the guys could not fly up in time." Fuu exclaimed "I can't do it!" Umi replied without looking at her "Tell Ferio to teach you a few steps." Kaori said "Umi-chan, I remembered all the roles, you have exactly nothing to do." Umi said "I'm the director of this." Eagle said to Lantis "Hey, Everyone got to take part!" Lantis nodded. Hikaru asked "Umi-chan, you got a good voice, you will sing then!" Umi complained "Hey, I got a job already!" Fuu put in "But everyone liked your voice, so singing will not be a bad idea. Unless you sung like a crow." Umi glared at her. "Okay, I'll do it." Kaori turned to Everyone "Do these toys of Zazu's work?" "Half of them, I think." Shuuichi said. Zazu said "I got another box. I got a truck, I'll drive all your stuff to the rehearsal place of this play now." Umi said "It'll be in the park Ferio gave the show a few weeks ago." "No wonder you want me to skate." Ferio commented. The group entered the park, it was a cold yet sunny winter day. Umi exclaimed cheerily "Look at your costumes! The guys' costumes were really of the same styles, tuxedoes. But the girls' ones, got to see it before you make any statements." Hikaru, Fuu, Kaori, Botan, Yukina and Keiko got a big sweat drop on their foreheads. Umi reassured them "Don't worry, all of yours looked cute and very little girl like, but Terrisa's…" Ascot muttered "Disastrous." Umi pinched him again. They went out of the truck. They looked at their costumes, the guys were not that surprised to see white tuxedoes. All of the girls were not that amazed to see that their costumes were like some child's wear except for Terrisa, she got the sexiest thin lacy and silk one that everyone seemed to be a bit taken aback by the appearance of it. Terrisa blushed "This one?" she asked Umi. Umi nodded proudly. The other girls could only say "Glad that I'm not Terrisa." under their breaths. Hikaru got a short white cotton skirt with a white furry sweat shirt on top with a little cap. Umi instructed "You'll wear long white socks and white school girls' shoes." Umi pointed Hikaru to the shoes and socks bag. Hikaru nodded still feeling terribly sorry for Terrisa. Fuu's was a turtle neck sweater with a white furry collar, furry cuffs and the foot of her dress was furry was well. "Well, you'll have those skating boots, wear short thick white socks." Umi said. Fuu nodded hoping that Terrisa was not going to faint in the cold in that thin dress. Kaori took hers, it was a cotton dress that reached just to her knees with a fluffy pull-on vest. Umi ordered "The white fluffy boots with short white socks." Kaori went over to the bags. Feeling very lucky that she was not the star of that night. Keiko then looked at her knee length white dress with a fluffy short sleeved sweat shirt, "White shoes, short white socks." Umi said. Keiko got the stuff out feeling like an idiot herself, but will never be as idiotic looking than Terrisa. Botan got her costume a long white dress that got flowing ribbons. "Shoes, short socks." Umi said getting a bit tired of telling everyone what to wear. Yukina smiled at her dress, it was knee length with fluffy balls tied on her belt. "Knee high boots, its your choice whether to wear socks or not." Yukina went off, that left Terrisa there alone with Umi, since all the people were off changing and Zazu was repairing the wings that were not working properly. Umi grinned "Yes, you are going to wear that since you are our star of this play, you got to look impressive. And since you looked this pure already, I think this suit suits you the best." Terrisa blushed again. Umi showed her a pair of glittery white slippers. Terrisa asked "Will I get laughed at afterwards?" Umi shook her head immediately "No, you're a life saver, you got that diamond back for us, that why you won the place for being the star of this show." Terrisa smiled shyly "Maybe." She said softly. Umi then went to change herself. Everyone came out after fifteen minutes. Terrisa was blushing like a beat root as every guy and every girl stared at her when she came out. The guys soon turned away. The girls did the same as they got the wings. Umi walked to Zazu "Can you please do the lighting for us?" Zazu nodded "All right." Umi got every one in place, Ferio did his little show on the ice. It was started by quick and light music, Ferio got to do a four spins in a row then a jump, did a back flip in the air and a camel spin when he landed. Fuu got to the tree by the machine. She floated down slowly to Ferio, Ferio had his arms open for her. But then the machine stopped working and she was falling down, Ferio rushed over and caught her in his arms, put her on her feet then did a quick spin lifting her by the waist in the air. Zazu said "Sorry, I have not yet repaired that." Fuu blushed as she realized that Ferio was still holding on to her very tightly. "You fell on me again." He said in her ear grinning boyishly. "You saved me again, Thank you." Fuu said smiling through her blush. Umi said "You did this pretty well, okay, the first set of four bishounens." Hiei soar through the air on to the tree he was suppose to be above. Lantis and Shuuichi got up there slowly and gracefully while Eagle's machine won't carry him up from two meters, so he got to get up there as if he was swimming. Everyone stifled a laugh seeing him up. Zazu called "That one's for people weighing under a forty kilos." Eagle shouted down "Why didn't you tell me!" Zazu shrugged, then said "You never asked." Umi clapped her hands. "Okay, get one of them that works, next time, Eagle. Next four." Yuusuke, Kuwabara, Ascot and Koenma were waiting in midair descended to the ground, Yuusuke was under the tree Lantis was floating above. Kuwabara was next to him under Eagle's tree. Koenma was in front of Kuwabara under Hiei. Ascot was in front of Yuusuke beside Koenma, under Shuuichi. "Hikaru, do a back flip." Umi suggested. Hikaru nodded as she did it, she was nimble and ended up between Shuuichi and Hiei. "Kaori, do a spin." Umi called. Kaori grunted, but still did it with Mokona in her arms. "Terrisa, get up." Umi called. Terrisa blushed as she flew to the middle of the square formed by Shuuichi, Hiei, Eagle and Lantis, "Get down in the front slowly." Umi barked her orders. Terrisa did what she was told. And she was now standing on the ground. Umi sighed happily when the first rehearsal was finished "That was pretty good, even though Fuu-chan fell and Eagle had swim to the place." Eagle blushed glaring at Zazu. "You're going to sing right? Umi- chan." Hikaru asked. Umi smiled "Okay. In the next rehearsal." Umi went into the truck with Ascot. While Fuu and Ferio stayed in the rink on the surface of ice. Ascot said "Umi, you really going to sing?" Umi nodded "Since I got such a nice voice." Ascot nodded "You have." Umi asked "Really, you think so?" Ascot blushed then lowered his head " Yeah. But you just can't sing a Christmas carol that everyone have sung before." Umi nodded " That's right." Ascot was humming a melody to himself. Umi asked "What is it?" Ascot said "I'm trying to write you a song, but its a trio, that means three people is going to sing it." Umi laughed "That's good, Hikaru and Fuu would participate. You got to have a chorus, so everyone will have to sing in it. You got to sing also." Ascot smiled "All right." Hikaru was chatting with Kaori and Terrisa, Terrisa had Kaori's furry vest on her shoulders. "Well, I guess Umi was getting too far in forcing you into this dress." Hikaru said to Terisa. Terrisa looked at her outfit, it really was thin and a bit too sexy. "It...is, but Umi gave me a good reason." Kaori rolled her eyes "Something like this 'Its a honor to be the star of this show.' right?" Terrisa asked "How did you know?" Kaori said "These are the excuses the royal house used to give people when they wanted the service of other people. That's how they persuaded Zagato into being the royal police despite the fact that Emeraude sweet talked him." Hikaru seeing Kaori started screaming said "Calm down, Kaori-chan, you are scaring Terrisa." Mokona then came hopping to his mistress. Terrisa tried to touch Mokona. "Pupupupu!" Mokona responded. Hikaru got Mokona from Kaori. "No one believed how smart you are. You stole the diamond from the Palace." Kaori rolled her eyes "Smart! Tiring, I'll call him." Mokona was still proud of what he had done. Fuu said as they sat down on the ice "You really were good." Ferio asked eyeing her "Am I the skating champion for nothing?" Fuu shook her head "I didn't mean that." Ferio smiled "I know." They were silent for a moment "Think you will fall again in the show" Ferio asked finally. Fuu shook her head "I don't know." Ferio smiled as he put his arm around her shoulders. "We'll fall over again." He whispered. Fuu giggled "Okay." Ferio smiled "Just wait." So they did a few more rehearsals and there was nothing wrong with them. Ascot wrote the song Seiya no Tenshitachi for the three girls Hikaru, Umi and Fuu to sing. Soon the show time was there. </pre><p><a href="./">Back</a></p><p><a href=http://www.dreamhost.com/donate.cgi?id=216><img border=0 alt="Donate towards our web hosting bill!" src=https://secure.newdream.net/donate1.gif></a></p></body></html>
