Christmas, a time where kids forget all that they have and ask for more. A time where couples get together and express their love. Our "hearts" fill with joy and we wish for the best of the next year. It doesn't matter who you are or what you believe in, you always want a better future. You want it. Never does that mean it will come to you.

The laboratory outside the kingdom of Rounsou was quiet but not in any way eerie. The snow covered everything in an arctic blanket that wasn't at an elevated level. Inside the homes of the citizens of Rounsou there was the happiness of children running downstairs to remove the wrapping from their toys and having their parents watch them with the hugest grins. A cloud of smoke formed above every home for every house had a fire in the hearth to protect them from the winter's harshness. There was, however, one place where the pitter patter of tiny feet where not heard. The priest, Shisai Kaito's house was filled with the solemn sobs of a lonely woman.

"My dearest, why must you cry? It is the birthday of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Why are not we dancing and making joy or better yet praying?" Kaito's attempts at the consolation of his wife, Shisai Miku, were futile. The house was quiet and cold. A man who suffers in the name of God is a follower of Christ. There was no fire to keep them warm. They were both huddled together on a bed for warmth but the she pushed him away implying that she would rather freeze to death than be in his presence.

"It is the second Christmas where we have had no children to make happy! Why must we continue to stay virgins and not truly show our love with the birth of our very own child?!" Miku let out a shriek of pain that came from only one place, her heart. Priest are not allowed to have children for that would require…-well you know. However, PMS still applies. They are allowed to have the same relationship with someone else as they do with God. Kaito knew this and so did his wife but she could not accept her future of being a woman but not a mother. The priest was not used to comforting people but instead telling them to repent, however he managed to hug her back into his loving arms and soothe her crying. It was at this time that she remembered the trial that took place yesterday. This recollection put Miku in an even more sorrowful mood.

"What is it now, my beautiful rosary?", he said still embracing her. The priest's home was atop the cathedral on the highest point in the Rounsou kingdom. There a man could see anything for hundreds of miles. She got up, much to the surprise of Kaito, and went to the window, undid the curtains, and touched the glass focusing on the laboratory where Kagakusha Len now was destined to spend the rest of his days.

"Bring him back." The holy man was confused at his wife's words.

"If we, a married couple on the road to nowhere, are to spend Christmas together, then a young boy, only fourteen, should spend his holiday season in a warm home and not in that cold laboratory." Miku's words echoed across the entire cathedral with such conviction that Kaito was fully awake now. He knew that taking back a verdict would result in great embarrassment and even an impeachment.

"The heretic stays outside the fruits of civilization and happiness. There is no reason why he should be allowed back in when he questions the very existence of God." He looked off in a stray direction. There was hesitance in his words. The super scientist was but a child and he full well knew this. Despite this, he still banished him and left him to die on Christmas Eve.

"Now! Kaito! If you will not give me a child then at the very least save him!" She looked at him as she had never before. The priest got up, put on his coat, and got his crucifix. It had diamonds outlining it and it had a gold lining with a chrome finish. It shone even in the dim lighting of their home.

"I will gladly accept someone who repents, if he does then he re-earns my respect." With this his wife stopped her sobbing and gave him a cute kiss on the cheek with full and loving eyes. He went off to Kagakusha Len's new residence.

Inside the laboratory was an entirely different world from inside the walls of Rounsou. Various machines served up a scientist's breakfast of coffee and toast automatically. When the toast popped out of the toaster with a loud "ding" Len woke up immediately.

"A-are your systems operfashunel…" He was extremely groggy and cold but it ws clear he was dreaming about project R.I.N which would today commence. He walked past the library he had filled with books about the study of machines and past the room filled with papers relating to the anatomy of a human. Inside the kitchen he took his toast and his coffee and went into the main room where a couch and several presents around a Christmas tree rest. One particular thing stood out. A sakura tree sapling in a pot was a fish out of water along with all the other Christmas decor that covered all of the computers and flashing lights displaying information about what is to come. She was dressed up like any other teenage girl but had the appearance of an angel. Her emotionless face glowed with all the different flashing lights around the Christmas tree. He looked at her in her still but stunning presence. She was easily comparable to an ice sculpture.

"Open your eyes, miracle robot!" Anxiously, the blonde scientist commanded his creation. She opened her eyes and he looked into them. Binary number, when looked at closely, could be seen running through her eyes. No emotion. No life. No heart. At first Len did not notice this and scrambled in nervousness while blushing crazily. He stretched out his hand, gestring a handshake.

" H-hello!" He had the excitement of a kid starting a new videogame on Christmas. The robot gave no response but looked at him with what would be the very best poker face. His smile went away along with his blush.

"Do…do you know who I am?" Len inquired the new born. It seemed like forever but he finally got a response.

"Kagakusha Len; Age: fourteen; Position: Scientist; Listed as 'My Creator'", She said in a voice that had no imperfections and that gave no idea of how she felt. He knew immediately what was missing from the grace of the artificial life form.

"Look! Look! See this?" The scientist picked up his genetically engineered sakura sapling and showed it to her. Even though he still got no emotional response he smiled. He had created a life. Or had he? Still missing from it was the most important thing. The heart.

Just then he heard a knock on his door. The robot had a faster reaction than he did and looked in the direction of the sound. Len's heart raced for he had never had a visitor come to him, especially not in his laboratory which was by now, he thought, hidden by snow. He slowly walked to his door cautiously as if any step he took could kill him. The robot followed him with normal, unchanging footsteps. He opened the door.

"Kagakusha Len! I come here in the name of God! Come, come back and become holy and pure under the kingdom of Rounsou! It is entirely your decision to stay and suffer in your so-called 'sciences' or to bask in the truth!" Kaito stood with menacing honor at the laboratory's entrance. Immediately, Len knew this was his chance to be around people again. The priest saw this and continued.

"Choose now, and have your life changed for the better or worse!"
