the plot and this story, the rest belongs to Mr. Kishimoto Masashi.

Note:Well, it's almost Christmas so I decided to write this story. It has three different POV's by our three favorite, family-less characters, Naruto, Sasuke and Iruka. Yea, I know that sounds mean and cruel but I don't know any other way of wording it, but anyway, enjoy!

Oh, and time wise, this is when Naruto and Sasuke were younger, the first Christmas after Sasuke loses his family…

Chapter 1:

A Lonely Christmas Eve

All alone they thought to be with sad expressions on such a festive night. All other children and adults, gathered together to celebrate the day before Christmas, except for the three without the people that we call a family…

Naruto's POV

He sat near his drafty window, staring outside at nothing but the flurry of snow blowing against his cold apartment. He watched a family of four, walk by, holding hands to not lose one another in the snow. Naruto envied them, as they had people to call a family, a people who cared about them and didn't shun them into the darkness he found himself in. It was the day before Christmas, and he for one, didn't even have a tree standing. Well, actually, he thought it was pointless in trying to celebrate Christmas all alone, he didn't even have any friends who cared for him enough to even come by to wish him a Merry Christmas, not even a single hi. He watched two more kids throw snowballs at each other, laughing and having fun, he felt his eyes burn suddenly, and turned away from the window; he didn't want to see them anymore.

Sasuke's POV

He sat in front of a small coffee table in the living room, staring at a photo of Christmas the year before, with his whole family and some friends as well. He remembered his brother, Itachi, smiling at him as he held out a gift from him. He remembered that even Itachi, the one who disliked these kinds of family gatherings, joined in and exchanged gifts and sat down with people to talk. Sasuke remembered very well as to what was in the carefully wrapped box, a small wooden carving of a snake-like dragon, hand crafted by Itachi himself. Sasuke had been so happy that his brother cared enough, to take the time to make a gift for him. But now, he had no one who cared about him, he had no one to look up to, no one to treat him like a somebody. He turned back to the photo and gently laid it face down so he could no longer see it. He felt a lump in his throat and his eyes was brimmed full with tears as he clutched the first and last gift he received from his brother, and never again to receive the gift of love from his family.

Iruka's POV

He sat quietly finishing his supper alone once again, although he always ate alone, he wished that he had someone to spend Christmas with. He closed his eyes as he tried to remember how Christmas was before his parents died; they'd go find a good tree and decorate it, and baked cookies together for the man of every child's dream, Santa Clause. He remembered how every Christmas morning, he'd run to his parents' room and wake them up in celebration of the beginning of Christmas Day, but now, he didn't even bother to put up a Christmas tree, let alone put up any Christmas lights. Every Christmas now, he just sat alone in front of his fireplace, staring into the lonely flames as he did now. He wished that he had siblings, or at least any other relatives alive to be with him then. Iruka's sight blurred as he opened his eyes, revealing crystal drops that rolled down his cheeks at the memories that hurt him to remember. His parents were gone, gone from his world and were left, only to exist in his heart.

End of POV

As the three thought to be alone in the world with no one to care for them, they silently made a wish that night; to have someone to spend Christmas with, someone like themselves who also feel alone and left behind by the ones they loved. The wishes were made, and outside in the snow covered world, the storm had ceased, the night sky shone with what appeared to be magic stars, glittering in the oblivion above. On that night of Christmas Eve, a star fell from the sky, a shooting star, catching their hard felt wishes and carried it into heaven where their wishes may be heard and granted.
