On the third day of Christmas my true love gave to me...

"Why did you choose a time like this to visit Konoha, Temari?" asked Gaara that morning. They had left Suna three days ago and now were a few miles from Konoha.

"You aren't serious, Gaara?" responded Temari. "I just thought it'd be a nice gesture to visit your friends by this time of the year"

"This time of the year?" repeated the Kazekage.

"Yeah you know Gaara, we're so close to Christmas" added Kankurou as Gaara lowered his head not quite understanding.

"You see, Christmas is the time when the people visit their dear persons" explained Kankurou.

"Yeap. Naruto'd sure be glad to see his friend visiting him" added Temari as Gaara lifted his head.

"You also have dear persons in Konoha?" asked Gaara as Temari blushed furiously making Kankurou almost choke laughing.

"What?" said Gaara not getting what was going on.

"Oh shut up Kankurou!"

"S-Sorry" he calmed himself.

"You didn't answered my question"

"Well... I also appreciate Naruto" added Temari.

"All Suna appreciate him, Temari. Gaara wants you to be more specific"

"And what about you, Kankurou? You were the one with the idea to take Gaara to Konoha remember? I only came for him!"

"Geez Temari you don't have to be that loud. Someone could tell there's more behind those reasons. Can you just admit you also wanted to go there?" teased Kankuro receiving a 'Hmph' from his sister.

"I'm sorry. You didn't have to come with me if you didn't want. Kankurou'd be enough for protection" added Gaara a bit concerned.

"W-What are you talking about?" Temari answered nervously. "We're not going with you because you're the Kazekage but because you're our brother. Besides, we want to see Naruto too"

"Is that so?" asked Gaara trying to make sure Temari wasn't hiding anything from him.

"Yeah, I'm the big sister so I must take care of my little brothers" Temari added teasingly, looking at Kankurou.

"Your little brothers are fine. I'm a jounin and Gaara's more than that" complaint Kankurou.

"I wasn't talking about that" she replied with a mischievous smirk.

"Hey! I'm one to say that!" he protested.

"Temari, Kankurou" Gaara interrupted.

"What?" replied the both of them, watching what they had in front.

"Ah I can see the Hokage mountain from here!" exclaimed Kankurou.

"Yeah we better hurry" added Temari.

"Kazekage-sama?"

"Kazekage-sama's here? Might something be wrong? We weren't expecting such important visitors"

"Must hurry and tell the Hokage" People in the Village that have seen them were murmuring through the streets.

"Did you hear Naruto-kun?" asked Lee as they walked throught the same streets.

"What?" answered, as clueless as always, Naruto.

"People are saying Gaara-kun is here" he cried.

"Is he?!" Naruto answered excited. "He must have came to visit! Let's hurry Fuzzy Brows! We have to go to the gate!" he added rushing towards the gates.

"Please wait, Naruto-kun!" replied Lee running behind him.

"Oi Gaara!" called Naruto when he saw him at the gates.

"Naruto?" he muttered.

"What did I tell you, Gaara? He even came to receive you at the gates" commented Temari.

"Gaara!" Naruto called again.

"Gaara-kun" Lee cried too.

"Yo!" greeted Kankurou.

"We thought it'd be nice to came and visit you guys. Seeing this is a special time of the year" said Temari.

"What a surprise, are you staying all the month?" asked Naruto excited.

"That was the plan, right?" replied Temari looking at Kankurou.

"Sure" he added.

"Yeah! We'll have so much fun-ttebayo!"
