Warning: I strongly recommend that you read Rabbit Watch before you read this story, because it may have some parts of Rabbit Watch in this story.
The snow drifted from the dark, nighttime sky, falling onto the sidewalks, buildings, and stands in the Christmassy scene of New York City. People walked around in heavy coats and hats. Some were in a hurry for something. Some walked depressed. Some were happily carrying the Christmas presents for their loved ones.
That was what Saiyuri saw, sitting on her window seat, with tears in her eyes. Yesterday was the 5th anniversary of her parents' death in a bank robbery. Watching people happily carry presents for her loved ones made Saiyuri cringe with grief. Saiyuri doesn't really have any family to visit, or to buy presents for. Her only family members, her aunt and uncle, were drunks and drug addicts, so they always beat her, or play horrible mind games with her. So, despite not being old enough to live on her own, she ran away, and got her own place, and her own job. Her neighbors never really cared that she lived alone, because they knew she had no other place to go to. Well, Mello once threatened to tell the police on her when he was in a really bad mood, but he got over it.
Suddenly, she thinks of her boyfriend, Near. They have been going out since that wonderful camping trip 6 months ago. Unfortunately, they hardly keep in contact, since Near is distracted by the Kira case.
The world has mostly been following the ways of Kira. Crime rates have dropped dramatically. If a crime were to occur, and if that criminal were to be asked his/her name, he/she beg and plead to not say their name, since Kira needs a name and a face to kill.
Enough about that. Saiyuri thinks about buying Near a toy for Christmas. A toy robot? Saiyuri asks herself in her head. Or maybe another puzzle. Saiyuri ponders in her head anything Near would like to have as a Christmas present.
Right in the middle of her thoughts, the doorbell rings.
Saiyuri snaps herself out of her thoughts and heads to the front door. She looks out from the circular glass thing (sorry about my stupidity xP), and sees Near on her doorstep.
Why is Near coming over here now? Saiyuri thought. Near did tell her that he was coming over, but he said he was coming on Friday. Why is he here 2 days early?
Saiyuri opens the door, and leans in for a kiss.
"Near!" Saiyuri said. "It's a lovely surprise. How come you came here today? You didn't give me time to look cute."
"You're already cute." Near said, blushing. "Look to your right above the cat lady's house."
Saiyuri looks to her right, and her sadness is replaced by a over joyous look in her eyes, and a smile.
"It's a full moon tonight!" Saiyuri said excitedly.
"I figured that it might be better to have our date on the real 6th month anniversary," Near said.
Saiyuri pulls Near closes and locks her lips with his.

Near was sitting on the floor, building a Lego beach house in front of the T.V. screen, which was currently playing ICarly. Saiyuri sat next to him, playing with one of her mini Bratz dolls she never got rid of.
"Is Yasmin's dream house finished" Saiyuri asked excitedly.
"Almost." Near answered. "All I need to do is get the kitchen wall up, and Yasmin will have her dream home."
Near finishes the house. Saiyuri takes her Yasmin doll, and makes the doll pretend to cook dinner, while Near takes his Rock Lee action figure, and makes it pretend to fix the car. As the couple happily played house with their toys, the doorbell rings.
"I'll get it," Saiyuri offers.
"I'll come along," Near volunteers.
Saiyuri looks out the glass thing and sees Mello and Matt, talking about something Saiyuri couldn't make up. Saiyuri opens the door, and Matt and Mello rush in, diving on to Saiyuri's couch.
"Ummm," Saiyuri mutters, "Near and I are in the middle of a date."
"We won't get in the way," Matt assures.
"Why are you watching T.V. here?" Near asks.
"Because our T.V. caught on fire," Mello answers.
Saiyuri and Near look at the 2 neighbors, bewildered.
"Why?" Saiyuri asks.
"Beats me," Mello answers.
"Near," Saiyuri said, as she pulled Near into the hallway.
"What is it?" Near asks.
"How are we supposed to have our date with Matt and Mello here?" Saiyuri asks.
Near thinks for a minute, then his expression became unusually bright.
"How about we all watch a movie," Near said.
"Great idea!" Saiyuri said. "I can also make some burgers, hot dogs, and fries!"
"Why not popcorn?" Near asks.
"Because popcorn is so overrated and used up!" Saiyuri answers. "Why? Do you want popcorn?"
"I think your idea is much better than popcorn," Near answers.
Author's Note: Well, this story has some more input on my OC than Rabbit Watch. The story so far has seem a bit relaxed. Trust me, this story will get better as it goes. I may not update for a while, because I don't get much time at my home computer.
I'm really trying my best in writing this, so tell me EXACTLY what I need to do to improve so that I can get better. I'm sorry for saying that, but grammar is a weak point, which means I kind of have no idea what I'm doing.
Rant over! Please Review :D
