It's winter night. It's starting to get late and soon, the skies will turn darker. People wander to every street and pathways. It can't be helped. It's the start of Rinne Festival.

"Gah! Look, Sakura-chan! It's orange and purple! It's like me, and Hinata! I'll take this-- oi, oi! Itaiiii!"

"Not again, Naruto! Can you please choose other colors?"

Two shinobis were spotted on a token, gift-wrapping stall located beside the gyouza's. The pink-haired kunoichi dragged his blond bestfriend over his choice. She's helping him picking colors for the gift wrap the Uzumaki's giving for his girlfriend. She sighed. Why did she joined him, afterall?

"But, why? Is this'nt good?" Naruto traced the box he's holding. The rectangular box was fully orange, with a purple ribbon accented diagonally, yet decorated too much. "Or.. it's really not..?"

"It really is not." Sakura gets her hands over her hips as if scanning the whole table with gift boxes. "Yeah. I know, those were your favourite colors and it was complemented well, but, it's overly exaggerated.." She huffs letting out white smoke. "Well then, let's see-- Uhn.."

Sakura's emerald orbs stopped at a longer, round box that was close over the edge of the table. She picked it up.

"Hey, hey! What's that?" Naruto perked up to what his buddy's holding. Then, suddenly a knowing smirk laid over his lips. "So, you're telling me, to get this gift box, instead huh, Sakura-chan?"

Sakura's face turned red. It's cold yet, her cheeks were starting to warm up. "Shut up, Usuratonkachi!" She punched him over his head, enough to knock him out.

Her fellow was clearly, affected by her fist. He laid on the ground, muttering how strong she is to be a woman and how she really, sound like Sasuke.

Sasuke kun..

She hugged the box over her chest and closed her eyes. The box was colored black, with strips of pink and red ribbons around it. Just how she likes it.

Just how she reminds her of him.

Of them.

Together.
