I stood there in the SPK headquarters, gawking at the beautiful Christmas tree in my wake. The tree itself was a beautiful green tree with classic red, green, and blue Christmas lights spun around the entire tree. Ornaments of random were dotted in the glowing background, some even being Near's precious toys he hung up himself.

Speaking of which that was exactly what the little albino was doing. He was leaning upward towards the tree and placing ornaments where he saw fit.

"Hey Near. When do you think we should do Secret Santa? I already called my friend and she was able to halt every kind of movements in the task force. She even convinced L-Kira to stop his indulgence in total so we should be good to go" I spoke casually to the detective.

He didn't pause in his decoration but still made a sign he heard me. "Hmm. Yes, thank you Akio, you've been a great help..."

"No problem Near! But now can I ask you another question?" Near softly spoke a hidden annoyance before turning to me. You see, this was going on for a while now. I would always bug him with question after question about anything I could think of. The Investigation, L, Mello, Matt, Toys... anything and everything. And I must admit it was fun...

"Are you trying to reach a certain goal with your questions or are you just pestering me for entertainment?" He bluntly inquired.

Sadly he was only met with my signature smirk. "Entertainment. I already know everything about you~!"

Near rolled his eyes and turned back to the tree.

"Well don't blame me! I left all my manga back in Japan so I'm boooooored!" I called desperately, letting my body fall to the floor in dramatic anguish.

Unknown to me, Near was muttering something under his breath.

"...Manga huh?"


Halle, Gevanni, Rester, Near, and I had all been gathered in a circle and asked to pull a piece of paper out of the little Santa hat. Halle was showing utter reluctance in participating but Rester and Gevanni both had small smiles on their faces, being able to celebrate the holidays without fear of Kira.

As it was finally my turn to draw from the hat I pulled out my charge instantly without feeling around for more then two seconds.

I lift the blank piece of paper to my sight before turning the paper over, happy for who I had been assigned.

Halle Lidner

As Near drew the paper to his view I could see no indication on his unemotional face of who he was now being forced to buy a gift for. The rest of the group went on their merry way thinking of a gift they could give to the other, me being no exception.

What would Halle like for Christmas...?

I knew that she's a strong woman who wont be into any kind of makeup or girly shit so that opens up many more possibilities.

When I saw her in the anime I began to draw parallels between her and Naomi Misora. Perhaps something that Naomi would like, Halle would like too. After all, they were both powerful female detectives with an affinity for gaining information.

An idea stuck into my thoughts as I thought of a way to get her the best present she could even receive.

I stretched my concentration onto Halle in particular. I took in the details of the woman with utter focus. Her blonde hair, her white shirt and black work leggings, and even her deceptive orange eyes until I could hear her voice in my head.

'Even though I still think we could have better things to do... I can't really help but wonder who got me? Nobody really knows that much about me in particular so I don't think they'll even get the right present. After all, people don't normally wish for a Desert Eagle 50AE for Christmas...'

My lips curled into a disturbing grin as I knew one person who would be getting a very Merry Christmas.


I was standing in front of the closest weapon shop I could find which was much easier then I thought it would be. The place was called John Jovino Gun Shop and it was nearby Manhattan with perfect reviews. The moment I learned of Halle's desired gift I sent a call to the owner of the gun shop with the most convincing older women's voice I could manage.

I pushed open the single door and took in the room. It was a large area with different guns lining the wall. I recognized a few from the old war games I used to play back in the apartment and felt a rush of nostalgia at seeing the firearms once more.

A little bell rang as I entered the empty shop that brought the cashier to the counter instantly.

The man who answered was a well-muscled man with callouses in both hands from the items he sells. He had tanned skin and dirty blonde hair cut short, coupled with intense grey eyes. Despite his scary, Drill-Sargent appearance he spoke with quite a friendly voice.

"Hello! Welcome to John Jovino's Gun Shop! How can I help... you..." His voice trailed off as he looked at the small pale girl standing in front of him.

"Uhh, are you lost or something?" He questioned, getting in front of me and squatting down to my small height of 5 feet.

I scoffed. "Yeah. I'm Akio. We talked over the phone"

His eyes widened as he stared at the revelation unraveling beneath him. "Y-You're Akio?"

I cleared my throat and let my voice fall into the lower tone I used on the line.

"Hey, My name's Akio. And I would let to pre-order a Desert Eagle 50AE" I recited from what I had previously said.

"D-Do you have your ID? No offence or anything... But you look only about fifteen at most..." I lightly chuckled at his blunder.

I crossed my arms. "I'm actually 17. Turning 18 in January thank you very much"

"Well I'm sorry but I still need to see some form of ID and I'm sure you know that you're underage..." As I remembered the little 'present' the SPK had given me when I officially joined I reached into the pocket of my jeans and pulled out the badge showing my fake ID and the proof that I worked for a special branch of the government.

John's eyes grew to the size of diner plates as he saw what I represented. Unknown to me (because I hadn't even bothered to look the the ID yet) there was actually something in text that got me my gun.

As John went behind the desk and pulled out the gun I put a large smile on my lips. The entire design was a blackish grey color, with a darker shade of black on the barrel and grip but a graying black on all other sections.

For those of you who don't know, this is the most powerful handgun in the world...

"Thanks man!" I cheered as I checked to see the safety was on and tucked it safely away in my bag.

Just as I was about to exit the shop I heard John say one more thing before I left.

"And just so you know! The only reason I'm giving that to you is because you're one of the few working to bring down Kira. Good luck out there... Akio!"When he said these words I felt my heart swell with happiness so I managed to turn around and flash him and smile and a thumbs up before I left back to the SPK.


I had bought Halle's present yesterday and was now internally grinning like a madwoman as my present was tucked away in a square present under the tree.

Right now the entire SPK was gathered a small semi-circle around the Christmas Tree, about to open presents in celebration for the 25th of December.

"Alright! Let's start then!" Gevanni called cheerfully as he reached for the gift he saw was his.

Gevanni's gift was in a box similar to mine. It was a cube about the size of my head and wrapped in festive colors of red and green, all topped with a golden bow. As the wrapping was torn away mercilessly the gift came into view.

To my great surprise, inside the box was a beautifully crafted ship in a bottle. The ship had white sails and delicately crafted dark wood for the color. I personally had no idea how was going to react to the gift until I looked up and saw the dark haired counterfeiter's silver eyes light up like the the tree beside him.

"Wow... Holy shit this is amazing..." He muttered in surprise. He lift his eyes away from the craft and scanned his eyes among us.

After thinking for a bit he turned to Rester and put on a light smile. "Did you get it for me?"

Rester laughed and nodded, pleased with himself that he had given him a great gift.

Next up to open presents was Rester himself as he took hold of his own present. This one was a flatter surface, almost resempling a large piece of paper as the present was opened like flesh stripped from the bone. Getting a better look at the gift I noticed it was a framed image with some kind of quote in the center that I couldn't read from where I was sitting. However I could easily see Rester mutter what I thought were the words... 'Haiku...'

Without even looking up from the handout he said the name of who he deduced instantly. "Gevanni"

Looking slightly down at being found out so quickly, Rester nodded in confirmation with a big smile of his features.

My prize moment had arrived as Halle, who had a casual bored expression on her face, reach behind her and take hold of my own gift to her. The wrapping was a white and black striped design with a glimmering green bow on top, which Halle destroyed calmly unlike the other two.

But when she got to the box inside I could see her eyes spark with interest. She lift the top of the container I could see her eyes well with shock and happiness all at the same time.

"A Desert Eagle 50AE... W-Who did... How did any of you know..." She stuttered. Sorry Halle! That's a big old secret!

As I expected, she diddn't think it was me. Her gaze fell onto the Albino sitting next to me as she looked uncertain in her choice.

"Near?" To answer her assumption Near shook his snowy head.

"That means..." And her sight finally targeted me.

I chuckled lightly. "Yep! Merry Christmas Halle!"

Halle was absolutely speechless and all she could do was stutter out the words "Thank you"

As the turn landed on the unemotional albino beside me he had to strain himself to grasp the longer, rectangular preset that's design was purely white.

Near took a more delicate way of unwrapping the present as he wore one of the cute-yet-creepy smiles once he discovered that he had been given a new finger puppet set.

The sheep took no time in staring around the room while his gaze instantly fell onto Halle. "I appreciate the gift you gave me Halle. Merry Christmas..." Near said in one of the strangest ways as Halle nodded, still fondling the dangerous weapon in her hands.

I practically dived under the tree, letting small bits of pine leaves get caught in my hair as I yanked the taller gift that I knew was mine. It was decorated with repeating images of penguins and not too big but I wasted no time with utterly devouring the wrapping faster then anyone else had before.

What I saw utterly shocked me.

It was a manga. It was a bloody fucking manga.

It was a complete set of one of the only manga I had never been able to get.

The background was white and the title was in dual colors of black and blue to the side. The fanged face of the manga's protagonist was to the right, in the process of unsheathing a glowing blue sword. Blue flames danced over the page as I knew just was anime I had been given.

It was Blue Exorcist.

"W-Wh...How did.. Near?!" I turned to the only person who was remaining.

"I simply heard that the reason you were constantly asking me questions and because you were bored. You also mentioned that you liked manga so using the line you used to halt the Japanese Take Force I was able to call your sister and ask her which set you would want the most... I am correct in assuming you like it?"

Without thinking I threw my arms around the shocked albino and practically squeezed the life out of him.

"Thank you Near!" And I pecked his cheek with a small little kiss that instantly brought that tiny blush back onto his face.

As I pulled away from the embrace I was able to catch Near saying one more thing to me before I read Blue Exorcist for the rest of the night with Near silent beside me.

"No..." He lightly rubbed his cheek that I had kisssed. "Thank you"
