AN – Hello! So I wanted to write a Christmas fanfic and I wanted to have a couple. And then I was like 'What cuter couple is there than NaruHina?' So that's what this story or whatever is about. Hope you enjoy!

DISCLAIMER - I do not own Naruto or Naruto Shippuden or any of the characters in this story.

Ramen

Snow covered Konoha like a white blanket that froze things instead of heated. The branches of trees glistened in the sun as the snow reflected the light beautifully. Birds could not be heard for they had all flew off to find somewhere warm a long time ago. The streets were empty as everyone stayed in their nice warm houses enjoying a cup of hot chocolate next to a blazing fireplace. Everyone remained inside except for a certain couple.

No matter what Naruto had to have some ramen to warm his freezing belly. But his loving girlfriend, Hinata, would never have let him go all alone so she had went with him. He had insisted that she stayed at home warm and cozy and that he'd take only a minute. Yet she got her coat and mittens leaving the house without another word.

So Naruto followed the Hyuuga pulling her closer to him as to warm her up some. They talked and laughed and planned their Christmas. The world around them seem to warm up as the trees gazed down at them smiling at their innocent hearts. The sun shined brighter for them while the clouds moved away form its rays so they wouldn't block anything. Everything just seemed to accept the happy couple as they walked down the snow covered roads of Konoha. The only couple that had come out to enjoy the wonderful winter month.

Ichiraku's Ramen Shop sat all alone where it had always been. But now Ichiraku and his daughter weren't there to serve any customers. Probably at home enjoying the time with their family. Exactly what Naruto and Hinata should have been doing. But Naruto shook his head. He wouldn't go back until he got his ramen. Hinata sighed shaking her head at the stubborn young man before continuing on.

As the walked on Hinata got a brilliant idea. They could make their own ramen! The only problem was how they were going to get the ingredients. The Hyuuga Estate would probably not have the ingredients needed to make ramen for Hinata's father, the head of the clan, did not like ramen and therefore didn't eat it.

Hinata soon began to give up on her plan since there was no one they could buy the ingredients because the stores were all closed. Never once was there a store open during the week of Christmas and just before it. It was a tradition of Konoha for no one to work on those two weeks.

Naruto saw as Hinata hung her head down and gave up on her perfect plan. But then he just got an idea and grabbed Hinata's hand pulling her to the closest home by them. Naruto knocked on the door while Hinata pestered him on what he was doing though he just shushed her. A nice young woman opened the door and smile at the two children, to her eyes. She asked them what they needed and Naruto said they needed some ingredients for making ramen.

The woman didn't have all the ingredients for ramen, but she gave what she had and Naruto along with Hinata took it gratefully. Naruto then shook her hand and said to meet them at the main training grounds in five hours. Not knowing what was going to be happening the woman happily obliged.

Soon they were both running around the village asking for ingredients to make ramen. An hour later they sat in the training grounds surrounded by tons of eggs and flour and other things needed to make ramen. Now they had an hour to make ramen with all of the ingredients for they had invited practically everyone in the village to join them. Hinata wasn't sure if they were going to finish, but Naruto reassured her that they would positively finish.

So they immediately got to work. Hinata made a fire and above it she placed a pot where she melted pure, clean snow for water while Naruto began to mix together the flour, eggs, and salt. Together they worked and worked to make the best ramen the village would have ever tasted.

Hours later, when villagers began to show up, they finally had bowls lining up for them. Soon the training grounds were willed with the joyous sound of laughter and chatter as people slurped up their ramen. There was so much that there was more for seconds and some to even take home!

The trees swayed happily in the wind as everyone gazed at their gorgeous branches shining brightly in the sunlight. The sun's rays brightened the day to the point where even if their noses were red the villagers' hearts were burning with the will of fire. No one was left out. Not a single young one or a single old one. Not even dogs or cats or any other kinds of pets.

That day everyone, even the Hokage, got together and enjoyed the winter month in the training grounds all because one certain blonde had a craving for ramen.
