"Speaking"
'Thinking'
NEW, NEW NOTE: I can't say that I haven't seen the Anime anymore, I have seen episodes 1, 2 and 3 now...and the Live Action movies, all three of them. Ken-ichi Matsuyama-Sama is so COOL! A.K.A: L, from the real life movie and Gelus (Jealous) in the Anime.
Anyways, please do keep in mind that I will not write what I have no faith in with the ending outcome. I promise that it will be worth the time to read. Please enjoy. ^_^''

Kagome woke to the sweet smelling scent of pancakes and peered through half-lidded eyes as she took note of a tray sitting atop her bed with a Strawberry Pancake's, a strawberry Parfait and Strawberry Orange Juice with a strawberry placed decoratively on the lip of the glass. A neatly folded note was tented on the salver with a thin glass vase, small in size, containing three roses of different colors in it. She sat up in the bed carefully; picking up the note, she opened it with careful fingers and curiosity burning in her eyes.
Purple – Protection and Splendor
Yellow – Happiness and Friendship
Bright Pink – Admiration and Recognition
First and foremost, it took us a while to pick out these roses, because we wanted their meanings to be head-on with what we felt for you individually. Traditionally, Purple signifies royalty, wealth and majesty...evident from the deep purple robes that royalty throughout history have worn. Deeper shades of purple represent elegance and grandeur, characteristics evident in royalty and majesty, making it the perfect flower for those that embody these traits. In addition, the Purple Rose represents Protection, a promise to the recipient that the correspondent is willing to do all that is necessary to protect them. No matter what may happen in the future, I will always be there to protect you. –Mello
Yellow Roses in their unassuming charm and sweet simplicity send out an equally alluring message as the Majestic Purple. As the colors range from light yellow to Golden, I chose a shade set right in the middle. Sunshine Yellow, normally given to new mothers, newlyweds or graduates, none of which you are, but with time, I hope to be able to give you more of these Yellow Flowers at each memorable moment and stage of your life. The color, with friendship and "I care" being its foremost meaning, this rose offers you a genuine and sincere smile, whenever you may need it. Another hidden meaning, everlasting joy...I am filled with an everlasting joy, that I can call you one of my closest friends. –Matt
While there are many different shades of 'Pink', only one was accurate in meaning for conveying my own personal feelings towards you. I am not sympathetic towards you, so pink and light pink were immediately cut from my choice. Pink in general represents beauty and grace; both are words which hold no shine to the beauty and grace you exude. The pink rose denotes that the receiver is a pleasure to behold, a pleasure to have in company. Thus, it is an indication of deep joy. They indicate happiness or pride, a heart-felt appreciation. Bright Pink shows that the sender admires the recipient for their beauty, refinement and enduring grace. The receiver of the pink rose can rest assured that she is admired for possessing a certain respectability and decorum not commonly found in others. A gentle beginning to a wonderful relationship...Admiration and Recognition are only two of many words which can be articulated in reference towards you...-Near
~Your Family, Your Friends
Mello, Matt and Near
By the time she finished reading the note, she had tears in her eyes. She tried to wipe them away from her eyes, but to no avail, they only continued to fall from her eyes and down her cheeks. She gave a soft chuckle and placed the small vase on her bedside table and laid the letter down beside the vase. She looked at the food in front of her and went to eating her breakfast.

Near was sitting on the floor outside of Kagome's room with Matt beside him playing his game on mute and Mello leaning against the wall beside Matt. Mello finally pushed away from the wall and ushered the other two to follow him. Once a good thirty feet from Kagome's room, they started to talk.
"Shouldn't we be concerned with her crying?" Near asked as they rounded a corner and continued down the hall. His finger was twirling a lock of hair as he thought back to the sound of his roommate crying.
"Nah, those were happy tears, Near. Those are the kind of tears you want to hear from a girl."
Near frowned, "I would think it'd be preferred for a girl not to cry."
Mello laughed, "Preferred, yeah, but not likely. Girls cry, they're a walking body of emotions...if they are going to cry though, better their happy tears than sad tears."
Near nodded, "That sounds conceivable,"
Mello sighed, "Right, I forget sometimes that you normally have difficulty agreeing with me unless I make a plausible claim towards the facts."
"Is that not what we are supposed to do?"
Matt paused his game and popped both Mello and Near on the head as Mello was about to comment to nears question. "We are three guys today, not successors! I don't want to hear anything remotely intellectual out of either of your mouth till tomorrow, got it?!"
Mello made to say something, but paused as he looked down in thought. He looked as if he was trying to figure out what to say without it sounding intellectual, finally, he seemed to come to an annoyed realization that there was really, little he could say that wouldn't sound smart. "...yeah."
Near remained silent, and returned to twirling his hair.
Nodding, Matt started his game again, "We should go find L now. I'm sure he'll want to spend the day with Ka-"
"Berry," Near interrupted.
"Ah...yeah, Berry."

L was working on a case when his phone buzzed beside him. He picked it up and read the alert on the screen before standing and pocketing his phone, leaving the case file on his desk to deal with the alert he'd just received.
"Watari, I will be back later."
Watari nodded and watched L leave the office.
