Well, this isn't the best start to the story but there is more to come and hopefully you'll like it! Well here it is, my first chapter to my first story:)

First Christmas Disaster

Sasuke sat on the living room floor of his small apartment. He had to move out over Christmas while his parents went over to the Village Hidden in the Mist for the holiday. His mother wanted to have a snowy Christmas this year so his father took her away for a few weeks. Sasuke didn't want to go so his father rented a small apartment for him to stay in as he didn't want to make Sasuke stay in their mansion all alone – the maids and other workers had Christmas off – but he didn't mind. He was happy to share Christmas with his friends – and Naruto. They had been in a relationship for almost a year and this would be there first Christmas together.

Sasuke sat wrapping up the presents he had bought. He then heard a knock on the door. He covered the pile of presents with a large blanket and answered the door. It was Sakura.

"Sakura! I'm trying to wrap presents at the moment, what do you want?" he asked rather impatiently. He wasn't an expert wrapper.

"I was just asking if you were coming to the gathering at the hall. We all rented it out and we're going to spend Christmas there instead of with our families. Ask Naruto to come will you? Your family is away and Naruto doesn't have any family so we're going to gather and have fun at the hall instead! Come on, it'll be fun". Sakura's short pink hair had extra sparkle in for the holidays and she had rubbed a bit of glitter on her cheeks. She was in a festive green and red outfit instead of her usual dress. She smiled at Sasuke and waited for his answer.

"Who's going then?" Sasuke asked, trying to direct his attention away from her festivity. He was not feeling particularly festive with his present wrapping going so bad.

"Well, I'm going with Lee; Shikamaru and Ino are going, then you have Neji and Hinata that will be there with Kiba, Shino, Gaara – his siblings are at Sand, Tenten said she might stop by, Chouji said he'd come by as well, and then you and Naruto hopefully. He's not home at the moment I've already been over there. Do you know where he is?"

"No, sorry. I'll pass on the message. I'm sure he'll want to go and I'll come as well". Sasuke felt a little happier knowing everyone was getting together straight away.

"Well, come at nine o'clock, bring all presents and stick them under the tree there. We're going to open all our presents together! And find Naruto. I think he's sensitive to cold weather".

"Alright, I'll drop them by once I've finished wrapping them".

"How's the wrapping going? Do you want some help?" Sakura asked, noting the bitterness in his voice.

"No, I'm going to do them myself this year, no matter how bad they are going to be wrapped. I'll never learn then will I?" Sasuke said exasperatedly. His pride would be damaged if he couldn't wrap his own presents.

"Have you got Naruto something?"

"Yeah, you?"

"Yeah, good. We all have family gifts and he doesn't so I want to make sure he doesn't get sad".

"I think he's used to it though Sakura. It's nice that you sound caring; usually you just make fun of him", Sasuke said sadly.

"No one deserves to have a bad Christmas. Don't forget to wrap warm, it can get quite chilly in the hall. See you later". And with that, Sakura left.

Sasuke shut the door after her and then returned to wrapping his presents. He started worrying about Naruto. Where is he?
