Bright light were flashing

The sounds of happiness and cheer

People were smiling

Because Christmas was here

A collection of shinobi

Moving their feet

At the Christmas party singing

Can't stop the beat

There was a few shinobi

Enjoying themselves at the feast

Including a chubby ninja

Eating some roast beast

In the midst of the merriment

Was one that stayed silent

He sat in the darkest corner

While the room as vibrant

Blood red hair

Aqua green eyes

A deftly cold voice

And to your surprise

He seemed to be indifferent to the world

Which surrounded him on all sides

And yet at the same time

As his eyes guides

Over the crowd

Dancing in happiness and fun

He sat there contemplating a thought

Only one

"Christmas...another year roles by..."

He thought with distaste

One would notice

His voice was laced with malice and hate

Sad and lonely memories

Of Christmas past

Leaving deep scars

That would always last

Sitting there maliciously

Remaining angry and silent

While he tried to stay calm

Though he could be very violent

"Christmas brings back such loneliness"

He thought in such sorrow

He would be thankful

When this was over tomorrow

For Christmas to him

Was filled with lies and deceit

He shook it off

Fore he did not wish to repeat

Any memories of such pain

In his mind

For he believed

That surely he'd find

A way to get past

The sadness at hand

And maybe, just maybe

His heart would grow grand

With the utterance

Of a few kind words

But them maybe not

For he had already heard

Words of kindness

Not brutality

And they had proved

His humanity

As he sat there

With such an emotionless mask

A hand grabbed his

With one simple task

"What are you doing just sitting right here?"

The voice as in confusion

Gaara looked up at the figure

Thinking it was an illusion

As a blond hair, blue eyed boy

Looked at him with a smile

That one would believe

Would stay for a while

"It's a party, don't sit here

Alone and distressed

Or all of us will make you

Wear this dress."

Gaara stared at the boy

Glaring death with his eyes

It was very surprising

That he did not despise

The boy who stood there

So joyful and glad

That even Gaara

Found it hard to be mad

"Naruto?"

"Come on Gaara let's hurry!

Don't make them wait

Or they'll all start to worry!

He gripped Gaara's hand

As he pulled him away

From the dark corner

Where he would have stayed

Dragging him

To familiar faces

Amongst the large crowd

As he then paces

Smiling at him

They all start to cheer

For their group is complete

Gaara is here

Though he stares at them

As if they're all crazy

His very thoughts

Had grown very lazy

"These people who have lifted

The shadows from my heart

I feel I can trust them

I do not wish to part

From the ones

That have shown me such kindness

And then saved me

From my impudent blindness

I wish to stay here

Until the end

Because I have a right

To call them...my friends"

As they all stared at him

Without a fuss

They all cheered

"Merry Christmas"
