The knock was welcomed and had been waited for as Rhyme jumped off her bed and threw open the door. Sitting on her bed was a rather large package, but not heavy because of it's contents. She was bubbling with excitement to give him the gift, having not pre-empted that a rabbit might not be so welcome right now.

Her smile flashed out and she reached her arms around his middled instinctively, desperate for the contact of who she considered another member of her family. "Izumi!" It had been a long couple of weeks without her second brother around. Too long, in Rhyme's mind. "It's so good to see you again! Do you want to come in for a few minutes or should we just get going?" She didn't mind what they did, they didn't even have to go for lunch if he didn't want to. She was just happy to see him again and to feel less alone.

"Nice to see you too, Bell-chan." The Shinigami playfully patted his free hand on Rhyme's head. The blonde was accustomed to the girl's signs of affection. She...really missed her brother, didn't she. It was a shame, Izumi didn't know what it was like to have siblings.

"Well, I'm not really all that hungry. You mind if I dump this on you first?" A nod toward the package in his arms should've indicated that it was meant for Rhyme. It really wasn't much, just a music box. But someone like Rhyme would probably find some use from it.

Not only did she miss her brother, but she missed him. He had steadily become a larger and bigger part of her life here; someone Rhyme didn't want to have to miss because she hoped he would always be around. Blinking, she tugged him inside when he mentioned not wanting to eat just yet, and beamed again at the sight of the package in his hands.

"Izumi!! You didn't have to get me anything, but thank you!!" Taking his hand, she brought him even further into the room and sat on the edge of her bed, hoping he would do the same. "I got you something too!"

((The song in the music box..Is it from Elfen-Lied? ^^ ))

Rhyme really was a cute girl. Not only that, she acted so much like Mitsuki that it was almost criminal. Seeing no point if fighting off Rhyme's tugging, the Shinigami followed the girl into her room. Instead of joining the girl on the bed, Izumi kneeled down in front of the small girl. Presenting Rhyme with her gift, the blonde beamed a smile at the girl. "Now what kind of person would I be if I didn't get you anything for Christmas? Now you're the one who didn't have to get me anything."

[[Yes is is. Shoot me if you want, I love the song. lD]]
