Kazumi was walking through the town trying to get everything together for her and Shikamaru's Christmas eve party, that they were having at their new home. As she walked along the streets she wonder and wonder what to get her lazy boyfriend, she had been to tons of store already that day and had found continued to look until she found her dark brown hair friend, Nikki, also Shikamaru's cousin, wondering around the stores as well.

"Nikki,Hey" she called when Nikki was close enough to hear her.

At that Nikki, turned around,and looks around to see who called her name, she stopped when her eyes fell on Kazumi, and she smiled.

"Kazumi, are you doing?" she asked curiously.

"Oh, I'm looking for a gift for Shikamaru , and getting supplies for our Christmas party." Kazumi said with a sigh. "How about you? Are you buying a gift for somebody?"

"Yea, I'm getting Sasuke a gift but I can't think of what to get him"Nikki blushed a bit as she said Sasuke's name.

Sasuke was Nikki's boyfriend, and Kazumi's ex-boyfriend, he was on her ninja squad when they were young, Kazumi only knew Sasuke, from living at her house after his brother destroyed their clan. Kazumi dated him for a while until he hurt her, and left her to go to Orochinmaru for power. Right after that Kazumi started to date Shikamaru for two years, until Sasuke come back and took Kazumi away , erased her memory, gave her a curse mark, then threw her into another dimension. Since then Kazumi has remembered anything about her old life or her old friends.

Kazumi smiled a bit. "Well you can always get him an ' I hate my old brother ' t-shirt."

At that Nikki started to laugh. " Yea I should, but do they even make them.

"I believe so" Kazumi said looking around at the shops.

"Well come on lets go." Nikki said grabbing Kazumi arm and pulling her toward one of the shops that sold clothes.

As Kazumi got pulled into the store by Nikki, she ran into somebody very tall.

"Oh may god I'm so sor- Kakashi!" Kazumi said recognizing the man she had ran into.

"Yo" He simply said.

"Um... what are you doing here,dad?" Kazumi said.

"Im doing some last mintune shopping." He said holding up the bag he had in his hand.

"That's just like him" Kazumi mumbled under her breathe.

"Kazumi, did you say something?" Kakashi asked

"Um... What! No, just thinking aloud." she said blushing a bit and rubbing the back of her neck.

"Well, Ok I better get going and wrap this gifts" Kakashi said walking to the door. "I'll be at the party tonight,ok?"

Kazumi nodded , waved good bye to her dad, and looked around for Nikki who had seemed to have gone missing. Kazumi sighed and mumbled to her self again about how she had to find Nikki too, looked up at the ceiling and grumbled and started to search around the store, for Nikki, and that shirt.
