'Oh great, another year,' Tenten sighed bitterly.
"Merry Christmas Tenten!" Ino shouted in the hallway of their high school.
"Ino, first it's not even Christmas, and two, what's so Merry about it?" Tenten asked slamming her locker door.
"What's not great about Christmas, you get presents and everything?!" Ino smiled, "and not to mention you get to be with your loved ones."
"What loved ones?" Tenten asked.
"Oh," Ino's face fell, "I'm so sorry Tenten, I forgot."
"It's okay," Tenten sighed, "lots of people forget."
Tenten's family was taken away on Christmas Eve when she was just a young girl. The only family she had was an aunt, who Tenten was visiting. So her aunt took Tenten in and raised her, Tenten never really likes Christmas, it brought up too many bad memories.
"It's also great for Lovers" Sakura smirked as she walked by with her boyfriend, hand in hand.
"What happened to us?" Ino asked, "we all used to be best friends. Sakura, you, me, and Hinata."
"Sakura became popular, and we just drifted." Tenten sighed, "where is Hinata anyway?"
"I don't know, but she said something about helping out with the dance." Ino said looking away, "what are you getting her for Christmas?"
"Why do you want to know?" Tenten asked.
"Well I don't want to get the wrong thing and seem cheap."
"Ino, you know Hinata would love a gift from you even if it was a steak covered in meat sauce." Tenten sighed. Hinata was a vegetarian.
"I know, but I don't want to seem cheap to her family. Remember last year when I got her that shirt?" Ino asked.
"Yeah, her parents said you could have done better." Tenten shuttered, "but it's okay, Hinata said she is spending Christmas with her friends,"
"Thank goodness." Ino breathed a sigh of relief. Then she looked up and smirked at Tenten, "too bad, and I thought you would see Neji again."
"Shut up." Tenten said putting her book in front of her face, trying to hide her blush.
"No way!" Ino laughed, "you like Neji!"
"No, I don't!" Tenten shouted.
"Okay, relax. I was just kidding." Ino laughed.
Tenten sighed as she walked into her class room, 'stupid Ino, thinking I like Neji, I mean why would I like Neji? They see me talking to a guy once and think I like him. Stupid Ino.'

"Hi girls," Hinata said during lunch, "uh, girls?" she put her tray down and saw Tenten glaring at Ino, and said girl smirking evilly. Hinata sighed, "Ino what did you do?"
"Nothing, I swear." Ino said acting so innocent you could see a small halo over her head.
Tenten finally looked away from Ino and looked at Hinata, "so Hinata, what time should we go to your house?"
"Oh, it doesn't matter." Hinata smiled, "as long as you come."
"Okay, I'll come after school!" Ino shouted.
"Yeah, we can help decorate." Tenten said, taking a bite of her sandwich.
"Great!" Hinata shouted. The cafeteria doors slammed open and Hinata blushed, looking at the table.
"What's up Hinata?" Ino asked, looking toward the doors, "oh." There she saw Naruto, Sasuke, Shikamaru, Kiba, Shino, those three transfer kids and . . . She started to giggle and looked at Tenten, "look who's here." She said.
"Who?" Tenten looked up and quickly regretted it. There stood Neji. He caught her gaze and walked up to their table.
"Hey. Tenten right?" he asked.
"Yeah?" she said slowly.
"Well Tenten, I need your help with something. Come." He said and walked away.
Tenten just looked at him walk away, dumbfounded.
"Well don't just sit there, "Ino laughed, "go with him."
"Oh right!" Tenten said, running after him.
- - -
"So, uh, what did you want?" Tenten asked.
"Oh I wanted to know if you could help me pick out a gift for Hinata," Neji sighed, "I'm not really on good terms with her and I wanted to give her something."
"Why didn't you ask Ino?" Tenten asked.
"She said I should ask you." Neji said.
"I'm going to kill you," Tenten said under her breath.
"Excuse me?" Neji asked.
"Nothing," Tenten looked up, "I'd love to help,"
"Okay, well can we do it after school?" Neji asked, "I want to get it as soon as possible."
"Sure," Tenten smiled, "well I gotta get to class."
"Okay, thanks," He said and walked to his table.
Tenten waved and smiled as he walked away, once his back was turned she glared at Ino, "Your dead Ino," she growled.
"Well I gotta go," Ino laughed and ran away when Tenten got to the table.
"Bye Ino!" Hinata called after her.
'Yes Hinata, say good bye to her now, because you may never get to say it again.' Tenten thought, smiling evilly.

Tenten sighed. Her and Neji have been walking around in the mall for more then two hours already trying to find something. Tenten suggested lots of things that got turned down. 'I swear if he doesn't pick something now I am going to,' her thoughts were soon interrupted by Neji's voice.
"Are you listening?" he asked rather annoyed.
"Oh sorry," Tenten said looking at him, "so what were you saying?"
"I was just asking what you thought about that stuffed animal in the window," Neji said pointing to a toy store window. Inside was a cute teddy bear with a little blush on his cheeks, that would make any girl squeal. He also had a little sweater on that said Merry Christmas, written on it.
One look of it made Tenten jump up and down saying, "it is so cute!" She soon stopped at the many faces looking at her. She cleared her throat, "I mean, it would be perfect for Hinata." then she walked up the store, Neji following behind her, "now get it because it's already late and I don't want Hinata and Ino to worry."
"Fine then," Neji sighed and purchased the bear, "I don't see the big deal. It's just a bear."
"Just a bear? It is the cutest bear ever!" Tenten shouted.
"Yeah, whatever. Lets just go, people are staring." Neji sighed, pulling the furious Tenten out of the mall.
"What are you doing?" Tenten asked as Neji walked beside her.
"I'm walking you home." Neji said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Oh, okay," Tenten sighed. They were just rounding the corner to Hinata's house, where they all agreed to go, when she stopped.
"What now?" Neji asked, completely annoyed.
"I cant let them see you with me!" Tenten whispered.
"Why not?" Neji asked.
"Well," Tenten took a deep breath, "a while ago I was walking around and saw this guy and we started talking, then Ino and Hinata saw us, and Ino started teasing me, saying I like the guy. 'Oh My God! Your in love' was what she would say to me. I told her we were just friends and that's all, but then she went around and told everyone about how we were secretly going out, and the guy totally hated me after that!" Tenten finished taking a deep breath.
"Well who cares," Neji smirked.
"Wait," Tenten looked around and noticed they were in front of the gate, just under the huge tree, 'when did we get to Hinata's house?'
"Let Ino think what she wants," Neji said in a low whisper as he slowly leaned forward. Tenten blushed and tried to back away.
"W-w-what?" Tenten tried to say but was cut off when Neji lightly kissed her cheek.
Then he slowly pulled away and smirked at her reaction. She was so red, you could compare her to a tomato, then he pointed upwards and said, "Mistletoe," then he walked away.
Tenten stood frozen in place, staring at the little mistletoe hanging above her head. After what seemed like centuries, she finally walked into Hinata's house. There she saw Hinata blushing and Ino laughing in the corner.
"What?" Tenten asked.
"Oh it's just something Hinata said." Ino laughed harder.
"What's that?" Tenten asked.
