Narrator: It was a beautiful day. It was also Thanksgiving Day. And in Konan, the Suzaku no Shichi Seishi and Suzaku no Miko had much to be thankful for!

Narrator: And so, the emperor of Konan, Hotohori-sama, invited all of the Shichi Seishi and the Miko to the palace.

Hotohori: Welcome, everyone!

Chichiri: Happy Thanksgiving, na no da!

Tama-Neko: (giving the victory sign) Da!

Mitsukake: Hi.

Chiriko: Hello!

Tasuki: (grumbling) Hi.

Nuriko: What's your problem, Fang-chan? (slaps him heartily on the back.)

Tasuki: ITAI!! (turning to Nuriko) What's *your* problem?

Nuriko: I don't know my own strength.

Tasuki: That's an UNDERSTATEMENT, doncha' think??

Hotohori: (to himself) I wonder if this was such a good idea after all?

Miaka: Tamahome...

Tamahome: Miaka...

Miaka: Tamahome...

Tamahome: Miaka...

Miaka: Tamahome!!

Tamahome: Miaka?

Hotohori: Everybody, come on, let's sit down and get ready to eat. It's a circular table, so sit where ever you feel like.

Miaka: (clinging to Tamahome's arm) I'm sitting by Tamahome!

Tamahome: Yeah!

Nuriko: Hotohori-sama, can I sit by you?

Tasuki: Grumble, grumble, grumble.

Chiriko: Tasuki-san, what's wrong?

Tasuki: I'd rather be home celebrating with Kouji.

::Kouji: (to the bandits) We'll just pretend Genrou is here with us.::

::Bandits: Aww...why'd he have to go eat with the other shichi Seishi?::

Chiriko: You mean you don't want to celebrate Thanksgiving with us?

Mitsukake: Where's your holiday spirit?

Tasuki: Packed away with my better judgement in a chest somewhere in Konan.

Chichiri: Cheer up, no da! This is Thanksgiving, no da! Have fun, no da!

Tama-Neko: Meow!

::Translation: Yeah!::

Chiriko: Chichiri-san, can I sit by you?

Hotohori: I'll sit here with Miaka.

Nuriko: I get to sit on the other side!!

Hotohori: Uh, right.

Tasuki: Grumble grumble.

Chichiri: (sitting down on the other side of Nuriko) Is this seat taken, no da?

Nuriko: It is now.

Tama-Neko: Mrow!

::Translation: There's no chair for me!::

Mitsukake: (sitting down by Chichiri) Here, Tama-Neko-chan!

Tama-Neko: Meow!! (climbs onto Mitsukake's shoulder)

Chiriko: I wanted to sit next to Chichiri-san!

Mitsukake: Uh, well...

Tasuki: Then I get to sit next to Tamahome!

Miaka: Tamahome...

Tamahome: Miaka...

Miaka: Tamahome...

Tamahome: Miaka...

Narrator: And so, they figured it all out and this became the seating arrangement: Miaka, Tamahome, Tasuki, Chiriko, Mitsukake, Chichiri, Nuriko, and Hotohori who is also sitting next to Miaka.

Hotohori: Thank goodness that's over.

Chiriko: But I wanted to sit next to Chichiri-san! No fair!

Tasuki: Why does it matter who you sit next to anyway? I'm much more fun than Chichiri.

Chiriko: No offense Tasuki-san, but you scare me sometimes.

Tasuki: NANI?

Hotohori: Calm down, calm down.

Miaka: Where's the food?

Nuriko: Hey, yeah, I'm starving!

Hotohori: First, a toast.

Miaka: Toast sounds good. With jam and butter and a scrambled egg on top.

Hotohori: (sweatdrop) No, a toast to Thanksgiving.

Miaka: Oh.

Tamahome: Heh-heh-heh.

Tasuki: Right, bring on the alcohol!

Narrator: And so the drinks were poured and passed around.

Chiriko: Should I be drinking this stuff?

Miaka: I'm underaged.

Hotohori: It's just for a toast, you two!

Miaka: .....

Tasuki: Aww, ain't nothing better than a little bit o' sake!

Mitsukake: That's okay, if you get sick I can heal you right up.

Tama-Neko: Mrow!

::Translation: On with the toast!::

Hotohori: (standing up and raising his glass) This is to Thanksgiving and to Suzaku no Miko, who summoned the great Phoenix God and saved our country from harm!

Miaka: (blushing) Ehh.

Nuriko: (standing up) To Suzaku no Miko and to being Suzaku no Shichi Seishi!

Chiriko: (standing up) To Yuu Watase!

Everyone else: To who?

Chiriko: (sweatdrop) Nothing...

Mitsukake: To peace on earth...

Tama-Neko: Mreow!

::Translation: ...And goodwill to all cats!::

Tasuki: (grumbling) When do we get to drink?

Chichiri: (standing) To Thanksgiving, na no da!

Tamahome: Miaka...

Miaka: Tamahome...

Hotohori: Cheers! (clinks his glass against the others)

Nuriko: Cheers! (clinks his glass against Hotohori's so hard they break.)

Hotohori: Uh!

Nuriko: Sorry! I keep forgetting my own strength.

Tasuki: Cheers! (drains his glass in one gulp)

Chiriko: (drinking his) This tastes funny.

Tasuki: (patting Chiriko) Don't worry, Chiriko-chan, when you get older you'll depend on this stuff.

Chiriko: I don't want to get old, then.

Mitsukake: Cheers.

Chichiri: Cheers, na no da!

Tama-Neko: Mreow!

::Translation: Cheers!::

Miaka: Tamahome...

Tamahome: Miaka...

Miaka: Tamahome......

Tamahome: Miaka......

Hotohori: And let the feast begin!

Narrator: And so, the toast was made and the feast was served.

Miaka: FOOD? Where? Foooooooooooood!

Mitsukake: Uh-oh...

Chiriko: (looking pale) Is that how the dinner is supposed to look?

Hotohori: It does look a little undercooked...

Tasuki: No problem! (Jumps up and wields his tessen)

Nuriko: No, WAIT!

Tasuki: Lekka SHINEN!

(The food is burnt to a crisp, along with the other side of the table.)

Hothori, Nuriko, Chichiri, Mitsukake: Hey!!

Tama-Neko: MROW!!

::Translation: Hey!!::

Tasuki: Oops. Oh well. Go order some more food then.

Miaka: I'm hungry!

Nuriko: And you say *I* don't know my own strength?

Tasuki: You said that yourself!

Nuriko: Gimmie than fan!

Tasuki: No! It's *MY* halisen! Taiitsukun herself gave it to me!

Nuriko: (leaping onto the table) Give it to me!

Tasuki: (hiding it behind his back) It's not *my* fault the food was undercooked.

Chichiri: Why'd you have to flame the dinner, no da? It was still edible, no da...but not anymore, na no da!

Mitsukake: Hold still so I can heal you.

Tama-Neko: MROW!

::Translation: I don't like being burnt to a crisp!::

Tamahome: Miaka...

Miaka: Tamahome...If I have you then I don't need food...

Tamahome: Miaka...you're so beautiful...

Miaka: Tamahome...

Tamahome: Miaka...

Chiriko: I feel dizzy.

Tasuki: (turning) You only had one sip of sake!

Chiriko: Then I had to look at the food...

Nuriko: (successfully grabbing the tessen, halisen...whatever, the big fan) Hah!

Tasuki: Hey! Give! That! Back! NOW!

Nuriko: You have to get it from me, nyeah! (sticks his tongue out.)

Chichiri: Nuriko, don't let Tasuki get that tessen, no da!

Tasuki: You're all against me! I KNEW I should have gone home and had Thanksgiving with Kouji and the others!

Chiriko: I don't ...feel good...

Mitsukake: Hold on, I'll heal you after I finish healing Tama-Neko-Chan.

Tama-Neko: MROW!

::Translation: Hurry up then!::

Hotohori: I knew it wasn't a good idea...

Miaka: Tamahome...

Tamahome: Miaka...

Miaka: Tamahome...never leave me...

Tamahome: Baka. Wo ai ni! Forever, remember!

Miaka: Ai shiteru!

Tamahome: Miaka....

Miaka: Tamahome!

Chiriko: Hurry Mitsukake...I feel...(gulp)... really sick!

Mitsukake: Ack! Okay, okay, I'm coming over there!

Tasuki: (leaping at Nuriko) GIVE ME BACK MY TESSEN/ HALISEN/ FAN THINGIE!!

Nuriko: (jumping out of the way) No!

Chichiri: That thing's dangerous, no da. You shouldn't use it like that, no da.

Hotohori: (to himself) This is worse then the fight against Nakago.

Everyone: NAKAGO?

Hotohori: (holding up his glass) Thanksgiving: I'm very thankful that Nakago is gone.

Everyone: Hear hear! Arigato!

Suzakuseikun: Oh, no problem at all.

Everyone: Suzakuseikun!

Suzakuseikun: What, you didn't invite me over for dinner?

Tasuki: Aaaagh! Suzakuseikun! Don't tell me that that ol' bag Taiitsukun's hiding behind you too!

Taiitsukun: (hitting Tasuki) Watch who you're calling an old hag, fang-boy.

Tasuki: ITAI!

Nuriko: (still holding fan) Awwww, poor Fang-chan...getting beaten up by an old lady.

Tasuki: You stay outta it!

Miaka: Tamahome...

Tamahome: Miaka...

Miaka: Tamahome......

Tamahome: Miaka......

Miaka: Tamahome.........

Tamahome: Miaka.........

Suzakuseikun: They're still at it.

Hotohori: Yeah. I don't think they'll ever get sick of that.

Mitsukake: Sick? Who else is sick?

Tama-Neko: Meow?

::Translation: I don't know.::

Taiitsukun: You should respect your elders.

Tasuki: It's hard when you keep hitting me like that! Itai! Itai! Itai!

Nuriko: Awww....what will Kouji ever say if he saw you like that?

Taiitsukun: Hey...where did your tessen go?

Tasuki: That cross-dresser stole it from me!

Nuriko: Only because he flamed half the table with it.

Chichiri: That wasn't very nice, no da.

Chiriko: I still feel sick, Mitsukake-san.

Mitsukake: Are you sure all you had was one sip of sake?

Taiitsukun: Humph. That gift was to help you protect Suzaku no Miko.

Tasuki: But we beat up those Seiryuu Shichi Seishi! What else would I do with a tessen?

Hotohori: I KNEW I shouldn't had done this.

Suzakuseikun: And they managed to destroy Nakago? I'm impressed if this is what they're normally like.

Hotohori: You're telling me?

Miaka: Tamahome.

Tamahome: Miaka.

Miaka: Tamahome.

Tamahome: Miaka.

Narrator: And so before the madness went any further, Chichiri had something to say...

Chichiri: Arigatou!... and Happy Thanksgiving to all and to all a good night, na no da!

Tasuki: Who's he talking to?

Narrator: And thus ends the fanfic.
