Rei and Hotaru were sparring in the park. They had picked a quiet hidden spot and where now locked in a battle. They didn't know how long they had been there, but soon they stopped and took a break.
"Man we've gotten better, since our last match." Rei said as she opened up her water bottle. Hotaru nodded.
"Yeah I don't think our matches where ever that long. Wow it's starting to get cold out here." Hotaru said as a chill went down her spine. Rei nodded as she rubbed her hands together.
"Actually it's been cold, but you onna's where to locked in your battle to think of anything else." Someone said behind the willows branches.
"I know that sexist remark anywhere. Come on out Wufei." Rei barked.
"Don't tell me what to do onna." he said as he approached them. Hotaru looked at him then at Rei then back to him and sighed.
"Well, I just remembered I had something to do. I'll see back at the house Rei. Ja." she said and slipped into the shadows and out of sight.
"Hotaru, wait don't you leave me." she called out, but knowing Hotaru she was probably well out of hearing range by now. Plus the wind had chosen to howl at that moment and remind Rei just how cold it was by blowing on her back, she shivered.
"You know Rei your going to catch a cold that way." Wufei said as he placed his jacket on her. She was about to snap at him when she realized something.
"You...you just called me Rei." she pointed out. Wufei seemed hadn't realized this and was about to say something when the young priestess shoved something into his hands. He looked at it then back at her.
"What's this?" "Your present. Thanks for the Raven, it was really nice." she said as she got out her jacket for her backpack so she could give his back. Wufei looked back down at the wrapped object and began to open it. Inside was a brand new sheath. It was made of a slick black material, and painted into it was a silver dragon with a red stoned eye and breathing fire with tiny red stones in it. He looked back at Rei who seemed to be gazing at something. When something fell in front of him he realized it was snow. It was the fist snow fall of the year. He walked over to her and cleared his throat to get her attention. She turned to look up at him.
"Rei, this...this is probably the best gift I have ever received." he said.
"Really? Because it doesn't seem like mu-..." she didn't continue cause at that moment Wufei had leaned in and placed a passionate kiss on her lips.

As soon as Hotaru was out of the park she walked more slowly. She didn't want to be there when those two got over there argument and started making out. Calmly she walked the streets of her city. Not to many people where out. Probably cause of the weather. She didn't yet feel like going home so she wandered around to look at the Christmas decorations before they were to be taken down. They had been so busy, what with the parties, and the slaying, that she didn't get to see the lights that year. She sighed as she continued on.

"You know that sad face doesn't suit you miss. How about I make your Christmas wish come true." said a man in front of her. He looked liked he had drunken a little to much egg nog and seemed to have trouble walking. Hotaru just smirked.
"And you would know what my wish was." she said bitterly. The guy blinked, but seemed to not care about her tone.
"Oh come on don't be like that angel, after all it is the season for giving, and have I got something for you." he said resting a hand on her shoulder. Hotaru was about to kick him in the stomach when he suddenly lurched back and yelped with pain.
"Get out of my sight, before I really break that arm." said a all to familiar voice. The man gave out a whimper and ran down the alley way, which he had come.
"How come whenever I find you your always in some sort of trouble." Hotaru smirked as she looked up at Heero.
"I wouldn't say always. And it's not my fault is it?" she said as he walked up to meet her. She sighed when he didn't answer and took out his present. She handed it to him then looked back at the scenery.
Heero blinked when she had handed it to him, but unwrapped it quickly. He stared down at his gift. It was a sword. It's hilt was the color of his eyes with a purple stone, probably amethyst at the bottom of it, and the blade had some form of wrighting on it. He recognized the language immediately.
"They say it was the language of vampires. A long forgotten one, and only the first species of vampire knew it." she said when she noticed what he was looking at. "You don't really believe that do you?" he asked. "I don't know, I guess it's more fun to believe it, then not." she said. He nodded and wrapped the sword back up.
"How did you afford such a sword?" he asked, as he finished his task.
"I've had it for a long time. But I don't really like fighting with swords so I never used it." she answered. He accepted it and took her hand. She looked at it then up into his eyes. The very eyes she felt she could get lost in and she did. She hadn't even really noticed when those eyes started getting closer. She thought she was going to dive into them when they closed and something heavenly touched her lips. She pulled out of her daze to see that Heero was kissing her. Not knowing what else to do she closed her own eyes and kissed him back. Soon they broke apart and just stood there in each others arms. Finally it was Heero who broke the silence. "I...I love you Hotaru. I never thought I would admit it, but I do." She couldn't answer him, for there where no words for what she felt. Yes she did love him to, but to just say that didn't seem enough. But it was all she could do for now.
"I love you too." she heard him sigh.
"Come on I'll drive you home on my bike." "You have a bike?" she asked as they walked hand in hand.
"Yeah. Why you scared?" he asked lifting an eyebrow.
"No Haruka has one and so do I." she told him as he handed her a black helmet. "Well then hop on." he said as he stared it. She smiled before getting on the bike and they sped off. Hotaru entered the house after thanking Heero for the ride and kissing him one more time. She looked around, it was really quiet. A movement in the shadows drew her attention. She front flipped, avoiding the crystal dagger that had threatened to cut into her neck. The figure charged her. She dodged its first blow and kneed it in the stomach. It doubled over in pain. "SILENCE RINGS BIND!" she call out. A huge purple ring formed around it binding the assassin. It sat up and looked at her. Hotaru gasped.
