It snowed last night so I thought 'Hey, why not right another chapter today?' Anyways enjoy!


Chapter Two

I was just about to go down to get the Christmas ornaments when the doorbell rang. I quickly jogged to the door. Looking through the peep hole, I saw it was Hinata and Tenten and I immediately twisted the door knob, opening it when I heard the click.

"Merry Christmas Sakura!" said the very excited Tenten. I smiled.

"Merry Christmas to you…Come in, it must be cold!" I said happily, opening the door wider and stepping back.

"Arigoto, S-Sakura," Hinata said gratefully, considering she was shaking like a leaf. They walked it, taking off their jackets and hanging them in the near by closet. The kicked off there shoes and shook the snow out of there hair.

"I'll show you guys to our room!" I said in a hyper tone as I jolted down the hallway and into the girl's room. They slowly came in after me.

"I'll have the bed beside you," Tenten said, putting her bags at the foot of the bed. I turned to Hinata, "Which one do you want?" She thought for a moment.

"I-I'll have the bed a-across fr-from Tenten," she decided, putting her bags on her bed.

I smiled, "Come on, we should go decorate!" We walked out into the hallway and went into the closet. We pulled out lots of boxes labeled 'Christmas' and dragged them out to the living room.

"Well," Tenten started, "What should we do first?"

"I think we should wait until the sibs get here to do the tree so let's…just decorate the house!" I decided. The girls nodded and started pulling things out. Candles, wreathes, garlands, snow globes, music boxes, stockings, you name it, it was in there. I walked out into the kitchen and I put in a Christmas CD in the stereo. The Christmas song slowly started to drift through the house and I smiled at the wonderful music. Walking back out into the living room I grabbed a bundle of stockings. I was surprised to see that each stocking had our name on it. 'Tsunade-sama…' I thought. I walked over to the fireplace and picked up the first stocking. The top was a white faux fur, just like all the others and it was a fuzzy dark purple and it had Temari written across the top in the same purple. The second one was Naruto's; it was like Temari's only Orange replaced the purple. Underneath Naruto's was Tenten's. Hers was a gold color with her name to match. Then there was Shikamaru's. His was a Dark green with his name the same color. Underneath his was Kankuro's. Kankuro's was black and his name was black as well. Next was Hinata's and hers was a light purple. Then was Gaara's which was red. And last but not least was mine. It was the same as all the others only it was a light pink in color. After I hung them up, I turned around to see what the other two were doing. Hinata was taking those static window decorator thingies in the shape of sparkly snowflakes and putting them on the windows by the front door. Tenten was putting a collection of snow globes on the ledge of the fireplace. I was heading back to the boxes when the front door opened and Naruto stumbled into the room. He was tangled in Christmas lights and we all giggled.

"N-Naruto-kun…w-what happened?" Hinata asked, getting up from her kneeling position. Naruto grinned.

"I was setting up Christmas lights when…this…kinda…happened…" he said trying to explain it. I sighed.

"Come on Hinata, let's help him out…" I said heading toward him, "Okay Naruto hold still," I told him. I grabbed on to one strand of lights and began to twirl it and Hinata grabbed another strand of lights and began to pull on it, but we were going nowhere.

"Well maybe if you twirl it and I pull it…" I said to Hinata, but we just ended up a giggling heap after getting Naruto more tangled. We eventually got him untangled and I offered to help him with the lights. I put my jacket on and my light pink boots and followed him outside. He went up the ladder and onto the roof and I stood on the ladder.

"Just…Just put the cord on the little hook, like this" Naruto explained. He reached over to grab the lights but missed and began to slip off the roof. He tried to use his chakra to stop himself and I reached out to help him but in seconds we were a bundled mess in the snow below. I sat there starring at this orange, blurry thing, before turning my head to face Naruto. It turns out that orange blurry thing was Naruto lying across my midway.

"Hey, Naruto…you okay?" I asked
"Yeah…dattebayo..." he replied before we both burst out laughing. Things got quiet as we were just starring at the gray sky when a hand blocked my vision.

"Need a hand?" A female voice asked. I focused more and looked up. It was Temari, all bundled up. I smiled and took her hand. She pulled me up, rolling Naruto into the snow.

"Arigoto Temari," I said thanking her.

"You're welcome, now lets get inside before my brothers freeze into icicles," She said jabbing a thumb over her shoulder. Kankuro and Gaara both had their hands under there armpits and their teeth were chattering very loudly. Kankuro had his kitty hat pulled way down over his ears and he was using his mouth to keep the flaps closed over his cheeks. He was also carrying all the bags. Gaara had a scarf pulled up over his nose, kind of like Kaka-sensei's mask, and his hood pulled up, almost covering his eyes. I giggled.

"Sure, come on in," I said, walking up to the door, which was open because Hinata was putting a wreath on it that said 'welcome'. When I walked in, I realized that all the decorations had been put up and I was amazed at how it looked and there was a hint of cinnamon in the air as Tenten was burning a few candles. I took the siblings down the hallway. I stopped off at the first door, which was closed and now had a wreath hanging on it.

"This is the boy's room…" I said turning around and leading Temari to the girl's room, "and this is the girls. The last bed is the one by the window."

"Really," She said, putting her stuff by the bed and walking to the window. "Oh my god the view is beautiful! The trees, the mountains…Tsunade-sama really has a nice place here," She said crossing her arms and leaning against the door frame.

"Yeah…it is," I muttered, turning around and leaving the room. I was just about to enter the living room when Naruto bounded up to me.

"Sakura-Chan, can we make a gingerbread house now? PUH-LEEAASSEE??" he begged. I rolled my eyes then looked at him and nodded. He gave me a huge hug and ran back to the boys room.

"Gaara, Kankuro, Sakura said we can make a gingerbread house!!!" I heard him yell at the boys. Soon after that I saw 2 pairs of arms and 2 pairs of legs come flying out of the door, obviously Naruto's and Kankuro's. Next thing I knew they were hovering in the air in the hallway, sand wrapped around their waists and Gaara walked into the hallway calmly. After he got out and far enough down the hallway he let the sand let go and the two other boys dropped in a heap on the ground. I couldn't help but giggle a little and make my way into the kitchen.


Well that's it for Chapter Two, I hope you enjoyed.
