Mei made sure her scarf was on tight and trotted over to Kiku for their trip to Hogsmeade. "Hi Kiku!"

*smiles at her gently and lightly pecked her lips* "Are you dressed warm, my Mei-chan?"

Mei smiled and nodded. "I'm in all of my warmest clothes."

"Good..Shall we go, hai?" *gently taking her hand*

Mei nodded and lightly squeezed his hand.

*he smiled at her as tey began to trudge through the snow* "Where do you wish we visit first?"

"Let's just play in the snow first. It looks like fun!"

*blinks at her surprised and smiled* "Okay..as in make one of those..ah..snowperson?"

Mei smiled and shook her head. "I want to make a snowbunny."

"Ah..how is that made?"

"Well... We have to make the form like a bunny and then add sticks for ears and such."

"It sounds quite kawaii."

"It will be if we make it right."

"You will need to instruct me on how."

Mei smiled at him. "Okay! First we need to start piling the snow into the form of a body."

*he smiled at her, as he began to scoop the snow into a pile with his gloved hands*

Mei giggled and plopped on her knees to start the mound for the bunny.

*sits next to her to help her and gently kissed her cheek as well*

Mei smiled at him and pecked his cheek in return.

*blushes a tiny bit* "So what is the next step in the process?"

"We need to make a smaller mound for the head."

"Okay." *begins to pile on the snow, and decides to playfully splash a little snow on Mei as well*

Mei squeeked when the snow was thrown at her and she turned to Kiku, throwing some at him.

*he chuckled as he was hit and gently threw some more at her*

Mei smirked and balled some up before throwing it at him.

*is hit in the chest and chuckled* "If you wish to play that way." *balled some up into a snowball and tossed it at her*

Mei got hit in the shoulder, but already had a few ready to go and threw another at him.

*dodged the snowball this time and threw one back at her*

Mei dodged quickly so it wouldn't hit her head and threw another.

*notices he almost hit her in the head* "Ah..gomen nasai.." *lets it hit him in the chest*

Mei giggled. "It's fine Kiku."

"Good.." *he leans over and since no one else was around, he softly kissed her as they sat in the snow*

Mei blushed and kissed him back.

*gently pulls back and smiles at her* "To keep us warm."

Mei smiled at Kiku and hugged him. "We should get to the bookstore."

*glanced down at the quite destroyed bunny they used for ammo* "Hai....I think this is beyond repair."

"Yeah.. We can make another one later."

*nods and kisses her cheek before standing, extending his hand to help her up*

Mei took his hand and stood up, wiping off the snow.

"I hope we can find many books you enjoy."

"Me too."

*leads her into Hogsmede* "When we arrive, feel free to choose as many as you like. It will be my holiday present for you."

Mei smiled at him. "Then I must find you something aswell."

"If you wish to." *he smiled gently at her*

"I have to! You're giving me something, so I have to return the favor."

"Okay." *gently kisses her cheek* "Arigato."

Mei smiled and pecked his cheek. "You're welcome."

*smiles with a light blush and squeezes her hand gently as he leads her into the bookstore*
