This another story of mine, I know it is closer to Halloween, which is my second favorite holiday, but I've been in the Christmas mood ever since my friend gave me an early Christmas kiss. So while i'm in the mood, i'm going to write this story. Plus I think that Naruto and Sakura were meant to be. Also other pairings. Enjoy.
Sakura's Point of view (from here on, point of view is abbriviated as POV)
Konoha had never looked so beautiful, everywhere was covered in a soft blanket of snow. The lights shone so brightly and beautiful, and we could only gaze into their everlasting bliss. I stood there, in my pink satin jacket, with all my friends, we were all looking down at Konoha, from the hokage mansion.
"Hey guys, isn't it pretty?" I asked with a smile on my face.
All of them answered in unison, "Yea, it is"
"The rookie nine... err eight, all together for Christmas" (A/N, all sentences in italics are thoughts, and all bold words in the story are sounds)
Naruto spoke up, "Sakura, you're coming to the Christmas party tomorrow right?" he said, I instantly knew what he meant when his arm wrapped around my shoulder. "Yes, I'm coming, are you?" I asked stupidly knowing the answer. I had to hide in my jacket, so he wouldnt see me blush. "Of course I'm coming, you know how awesome Grandma Tsunade's parties are" Naruto said with a tone of slight arrogance. "You guys are all coming, right?" Naruto said, directing his conversation to everyone.
Third Person POV
"You betcha... ARF" Kiba replied while Akamaru apeared from his shirt, saying he was coming too.
We're coming too" said Tenten, Neji only nodded with a smile. Even the coldness that was Neji, couldn't help but be warmed by the Christmas spirit.
"Um, um, I-I'm coming t-too Naruto" Hinata said shyly, she was trying to blend in with the snow, but she managed to crack a smile for him.
"It'll be troublesome, but I know we are coming, right, Choji, Ino?" Shikamaru said as lazy as ever.
"You can count on seeing us there" Choji said with his chips in hand. Ino sighed, it was her fist Christmas without Sasuke, but she managed to change her disposition. "I cant wait to go" she said with a half smile.
Shino glanced over to Naruto and said "I'm actually looking foward to tomorrow".
"Tomorrow is going to be a perfect example of the burning passion of Christmas youth" Lee's response was pretty predictable.
Sakura's POV
I was happy to see that my friends were all coming, they had been all on a lot of missions lately, mostly because most ninja got a Christmas break from missions, and Lady Hokage needed to get as much work as possible done.
Then all of a sudden, Kakashi popped up behind Naruto and I, and I jumped.
"Hey, Kakashi-sensei, how's it goin" Naruto said, his arm leaving my shoulder, to my dismay. "I finally got back from my last mission before Christmas break" He said, a grin forming under his mask. Then, the rest of the jonin senseis appeared, having finished their missions too. After some more admiring of the scenery, we said our goodbyes until tomorrow.
But Naruto stopped me, "Sakura, would you like to go take a walk with me?" He said, his smile from ear to ear. I looked onward, the beautiful city was gleaming, as if it was telling me to say yes. "Alright, lets go" I beamed a smile back to him, and grabbed his hand as we walked off.
"So, is there something you wanted to talk about Naruto?" I asked as we walked along the path to his snow covered apartment.
Third Person POV
"No, I just wanted to walk with you" he said, with a little blush on his cheeks, which he hid from Sakura's emerald eyes. His spiky hair was filled with snowflakes, and she couldnt help but brush it off. Naruto looked at her, a hidden smile behind his warm stare, "Did I do something?" He asked. "No, their was just snow in your hair". He smiled and we kept on walking, and she inched closer to him.
How did you like it? This is going to be a short story, but not a one-shot. I really want to read reveiws, they make my day, good or bad, so read and reveiw. I'm soooo in the Christmas mood XD.
