Hi. don't own naruto. Kakashi and Iruka are younger, btw.


The snow was falling fast, and everything was already covered in the white stuff. Iruka was on his way home, groceries in hand. There was no point in rushing home, even on Christmas Eve. It's not like anyone would actually be in the house when he entered. It would be empty, as it had been for years. 12 year old Iruka's parents had died trying to save him along time ago. He sighed as he unlocked the door and flicked on the lights. He didn't even have a tree, there was no point. Iruka put the grocery's away, leaving out only the food he was going to cook tonight. 15 minutes later, he had his dinner almost ready. Just then there was a knock at the door. Iruka cocked his head to the side, curious to see who it was. Iruka walked silently over to the door, and opened it. He raised an eyebrow to the boy only a little bit older then himself standing at the door.

"Hi Kakashi." Iruka whispered at his friend.

"Hi Iruka," Kakashi smiled "I brought you something." Iruka cocked his head at this.

"What?"

"Here." Kakashi handed Iruka a colorfully wrapped box.

"What is it?"

"It's a gift for you." Kakashi was excited.

"For what?"

"For Christmas of course!"

"I don't understand." Iruka whispered looking down at the gift in his arms. "Would you like to come in for some hot coco and maybe have some dinner with me?"

"Sure!" Kakashi smiled happily as he entered the room. Kakashi was happy to have the warm hot coco, and Iruka was a great cook. "You have no tree." Kakashi just noticed.

"What would be the point?" Iruka said looking over to Kakashi as he slurped another noodle.

"Well, I don't know. It's Christmas and you're suppose to have one, right?"

"There'd be no point for me though." Iruka said, kind of depressed now. He looked over at Kakashi then giggled. "Here." He reached across the table to wipe Kakashi's mouth off. Kakashi had spilt sauce all over his face, including on his nose.

"Oops." Kakashi laughed. Iruka's eyes strayed over to the picture of his parents, Kakashi slowly noticed, and frowned. "Iruka?"

"Yeah?" Iruka snapped out of it.

"You can open you're present now." Kakashi smiled. Iruka's eyes lit up.

"Really!" Iruka said jumping out of his seat. Kakashi shook his head up and down. Iruka grabbed the gift and opened it quickly. Iruka's face lit up as he seen what was in the package,

"Go try it on." Kakashi laughed. Iruka raced in his bathroom to go try on his new ninja vest. Iruka came out in the green ninja vest.

"I love it." Iruka said hugging his best friend. "But Kakashi, I don't have anything for you."

"Sure you do." Kakashi smiled "You're friendship. By the way, I have more for you, but it's all at my house. Ma said it's ok if you spent the night to night."

"But it's Christmas eve, and tomorrow's Christmas. You're suppose to be with you're family." Iruka looked at his friend sadly.

Kakashi smiled "You're a part of my family, at least me and my whole family think of you as family."

"Thank you." Iruka hugged him tighter.
