Naruko and I were forced to have a sleep over. It was Christmas Eve and Sakura had gone on vacation with her parents. Kakashi learned that Naruko and I had been alone for Christmas. So he ordered I invite the Dobe of my house. Naruko wasn't fond of the idea, then again. Neither was I. But here I was, standing around with Naruko, decorating the tree Kakashi made us get. Naruko brought over some wrapped presents. She got one from Kakashi, Sakura, Iruka, Neji, Kiba, and Konohmaru's team. She also brought a gift she got me. She put them under the tree. I stuck the gifts I got from some girls in Konoha, Sakura, and Kakashi under the gigantic tree.

"Well. That was a waste of time." Naruko yawned.

"Hn." I agreed. We sat down and put a few more decorations on the tree.

"So, what do people do on Christmas?" Naruko asked. I looked at her like she was crazy. But then I realized, Naruko had never had a real Christmas. It's only natural she doesn't know what to do.

I didn't know where to begin.

"Well." I started "You usually decorate a tree, put presents under it. And then you put up your stockings-"

"Whats a stocking?" Naruko asked.

"You hang it up and Santa fill's it with toys and candy." I said. I never really believed in Santa, but that's what my mother told me. Naruko's eyes lit up.

"Who's Santa?" She asked. I chuckled. I hate to admit it. But Naruko's childishness is really cute sometimes. I decided to humor her.

"Santa lives the North Pole. He makes toys for all the good girls and boys in the world. He puts them all in a bag and rides his sleigh through the sky to deliver them." I said.

"What pulls the sleigh?" Naruko asked.

"Reindeer. Eight of them."

"What are reindeer?"

"There like flying deer." I said, smirking slightly.

"Deer can't fly!" Naruko protested. "Are you telling the truth?"

"These aren't regular deer though. And yes, I am telling the truth." I lied. But hey, Naruko deserves to believe in Santa at least once.

"Well, do they have names?" She asked.

"What?"

"The Reindeer!"

"Oh, Yeah. There's Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, and Blitzen." I said. I can't believe I remembered all that. Naruko smiled.

"So why hasn't this Santa person ever came to my house?" She asked. She sounded sad, like a little kid who got left out a game. I honestly didn't know what to say.

"Well. Maybe it's because you didn't know about him." I said. Naruko thought.

"I guess that makes sense." Naruko said.

There was a short silence.

"Hey Sasuke?"

"Yeah."

"How dose Santa know who's been nice?" She asked.

"Well... um. Santa, has two lists. Everyone's name is on it. One list is the nice list and the other ones the naughty list. And... a kids name moves, depending on how good they've been." I said. Not sure I explained that right. Naruko seemed satisfied.

"So! Can we wait up for Santa? Sasuke?" She asked. I shook my head.

"Santa doesn't come until your fast asleep in bed." I said. Because, that's what my mom always said. Naruko smiled and laid down on the sleeping mat.

"Then lets go to sleep!" She smiled before pulling the blanket over her head. I smirked and laid down. Naruko started snoring softly. I smiled.

"Don't worry Naruko. This will be your best Christmas." I thought. "Well, your first." I corrected myself.

I looked over at the tree and sighed. She was going to be disappointed if 'Santa' didn't come now. I stood up and went to the basement where most of the other presents were. I tore them open until I found something that would look like it could be for Naruko. I found a ramen bowl. Whoever got this for me was pretty stupid. I Re-wrapped it and wrote 'To-Naruko From-Santa' on the tag. When there was a rumbling outside. I ran upstairs with the box. Naruko was gone.

"Naruko?" I said into the empty house. I heard a creak. The front door was open. I glanced out into the snow and saw a giant train. Naruko was talking to a man in front of it. I ran out into the snow. I could hear them now.

"Hi! Are you Santa?" Naruko asked. The man laughed.

"What? Little girl. Do you even know what Santa's supposed to look like?" He asked.

"No. Sasuke just told me about him tonight." Naruko admitted.

"I see. That is a problem. Well. Are you coming?" He asked motioning to the train. Naruko looked.

"Sure!" She smiled, right when I got there, I grabbed her arm.

"You must be Sasuke." The man said. I glared at him.

"Come on Naruko." I said.

"But-" The train whistle blew and it started moving. "Ah! Wait! Wait!" Naruko yelled. She yanked herself free and grabbed the ladder on the side of the train.

"Naruko!" I yelled running after her and the train. She held out her hand.

"Come on Sasuke! You can come too!" She smiled. I kept running, before reluctantly reaching out and taking Naruko's hand. She pulled me up onto the train and we watched Konoha fly by. I looked behind us. The man from before opened a door and motioned us inside. Naruko, hand still in mine, dragged us both inside.

"This is gonna be a long night." I muttered.

"You have no idea." I heard the man say.
