8:00pm. Sakura had finished wrapping her last present and put it under the Christmas tree that she, Sasuke, Naruto and Kakashi decorated. It was covered with red and blue tinsel and shiny balls. According to Naruto it was symbolizing her and Sasuke! Of course-the two perverts made the couple stand besides the tree and take a photo. Sakura had a big smile on her face with her arms wrapped around Sasuke's neck while he had…well…a small smile on his face with his arms around Sakura's waist and held her very close to him. The photo was hanging above the Christmas cards in between a photo of Kakashi's tree and Naruto's. Sakura made sure to get photos of them while Sasuke-claiming he was avenging Sakura and himself-made sure that Naruto's tree was covered with all yellow/gold like tinsel and balls. The same fate happened to Kakashi too, except his tree was dressed with silver!

Sakura stood back and looked at hers and Sasuke's tree. It had clear Christmas lights all over it. She looked at the walls and saw blue and red light that were bouncing off from the tinsel and balls from the Christmas tree. She walked back so she was almost out of the room and stared at the Christmas tree, the presents, the walls-taking in its beauty and admiring it. It was so beautiful and so…pretty….

Knock, knock, knock….

The noise snapped Sakura out of her thoughts and she walked over to the front door and opened it.

"Is this the residence of Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno?" Spoke a postman who was fiddling with his black, long coat.

"Yes" Sakura answered. He handed her a letter.

"Here is your letter then, have a good night."

"Thank you-you too!" Sakura called out and shut the door once he had jumped onto a neighbour's rooftop.

The weather has been crazy; therefore the postmen try to delivery letters whenever they can…

Sakura looked at the letter and realized that it was addressed to her and that it was very familiar writing. Sasuke-kun… She opened it.

Dear Sakura,

I had some free time on my hands. I hope this letter has reached you in time before I got back. I don't know how well the postmen are going with the weather and the letters….I wish that I had written to you sooner.

Unfortunately, I won't be back in Konaha until late Christmas Eve. The Thunder Country is being an ass and won't leave the Grass Country alone. The countries are on the blink of starting a war with each other…I'm afraid that Konaha will be stuck in the middle of it trying to stop it. I have a feeling we will be on the side of the Grass Country considering they are almost in absolute ruin from lack of food and resources.

I hope it doesn't start a war Sakura…I really don't. I'm sick of going out of missions as it is-handling a war would be worse.

I know that I promised that I won't be on a mission during Christmas Day so I decided that if I'm not back before that day, I'll do whatever you like for the rest of the year. Six days…one hundred and forty-four hours, eight thousand six hundred and forty minutes…I'll do whatever you want. Who knows…?

I might actually like it…

Sasuke

P.S. If you insist Sakura, I think purple would look good on you. Dark purple. Soft colours would make you look wishy-washy though; pink might be a different story…

Sasuke-kun… (smiles) Six days? That would be interesting, I'll make him do all the chores…the Christmas dinner-maybe not the laundry though…he does still have a strange interest in my bras and underwear…Purple clothing… now THAT is an interesting colour to wear…

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next Day…

Sakura was looking at a nightwear shop for purple clothes. Yes the shop did have good clothes but the purple stuff looked well, boring.

It didn't look sexy!

Sakura was about to leave the shop when a familiar voice cried out in the air.

"Forehead, what are you doing at the mall!?! Wait-wait, let me guess…you found out the colour!?!" Sakura grinned and threatened to giggle at Ino's outburst.

"I knew it-what colour!?!"

"Dark purple…"

"Ok then-let's go!"

"Ahhh! Pig-don't drag me!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

11:55pm Christmas Eve. Sakura was sitting down on one of the leather couches in her brand new purple nightwear. It was a purple kimono that you do actually sleep in. It had white and black flower patterns that blended in with the purple. She sighed and looked at the tree. She sighed again and turned away, somewhat depressed. Sasuke-kun, where are you…?

The front door was heard creaking open and then shut. Footsteps we heard and she watched Sasuke come into the room and drop his bag on another couch. She got up with a bit of energy and hugged him. He embraced her.

"Merry Christmas Sakura…" He kissed her and let her go. He walked and sat on a nearby leather chair and sighed. He ran his fingers through his hair tiredly.

"Merry Christmas Sasuke-kun!...oh…and Sasuke-kun…?"

"Hn?" He mumbled with his eyes closed. She did her creepy 'Sasuke smirk' that she had seemed to adopted recently.

"It's 12:03…" He looked at the clock-swore-and sighed. Sakura laughed. She then moved towards him. She sat on Sasuke and faced him so her whole body was turned towards him. He looked at her with his eyebrow raised while Sakura smirked.

"If you wanted a purple kimono, I could've gotten you one…"

"No" Her smirked grew wider and her face leaned a little bit closer to Sasuke's face.

"Well…I hate it." He spoke coldly. Sakura flinched and looked at Sasuke for a good thirty seconds. He…hates it…? But…the colours worked on the other girls! Why didn't it work now…? (sighs) I knew it was stupid…

She looked away, avoiding Sasuke's eyes and sighed to herself again.

"Well…I could go and get changed…I guess…" She waited for him to reply but got none. She started to get up, feeling her eyes water,-he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back down and intensely-kissed her hard on the lips and pushed her body against his own controlling! His tongue lustfully attacked the inside of her mouth as his hands roamed across the kimono's fabric with passion. He then slowed down his kisses and attacked her neck. Licking it with hunger and desire. His hands brushed her tears away while doing so and stopped-red eyes briefly clashed with green. He laughed quietly to himself while smirking-looking down away from her. He looked up and stared at Sakura's eyes. Sakura stared back, unable to fight the spell that had her eyes locked on his. She watched the black dots of the Sharingan spinning slowly around the pupil of his eyes. She felt her emotions change from sad and somewhat angry to peace and relief. The Sharingan faded-his eyes back to black and pulled her against him possessively.

"Four things…" He started whispering in her ear.

"One, I hate the kimono cause it's teasing me a lot. I want to ravish you-I want. To. Take. It. Off." He growled and gripped around her waist harder. Sakura laughed and kissed Sasuke's lips-trying to tease him further but was unable to cause she was laughing too hard. She settled down a little bit and realized that Sasuke had been smirking the whole time. He really does like it (giggles)….

"Two…" He continued.

"Tsunada-Same has given us seven weeks of no missions…no hospital shifts… no nothing for-I quote-'good services'. I'm not getting holiday pay but you are and a little bit more to cover me." Sakura smiled and nudged her head into Sasuke's chest affectionately. She looked up at him again and saw that his eyes were flickering with determination and seriousness.

"Three…we are getting married, I don't care if you say no-You are wearing a ring and you're not taking it off! I don't care if you hate it!" Sakura burst out laughing again while Sasuke smirked and chuckled quietly with her. She put her forehead against his and smirked.

"Do you have it-I'll trash it!" She spoke sarcastically-snorted and laughed again. Sasuke was actually laughing properly for once in his lifetime.

"It's in the front pocket in the bag but…get that later…"

"HEY! You're telling me I have no choice but to wear it and now you're not giving it to me!?! Don't tease me Sasuke-kun!" She pouted. Sasuke kissed her lips.

"What's more important than my engagement ring anyway!?! And don't you dare say Christmas presents!" They laughed and kissed each other a couple of times before Sasuke calmed down and looked at her with the word serious and uncertain written all over his face.

"It doesn't have to be now Sakura…but… (looks away briefly before returning to face her)…I'm sick of these games that we play…" Sakura looked at him confused. What…games…? He sighed.

"Sometime over the next seven weeks I…want to move on…I…" He looked away from her. He just couldn't look at her anymore!

"I…want you pregnant…Sakura. I want to have a family…I want the Uchiha Clan rebuilt I want…" He sighed and bit his lip.

"I'm sick of the little games we play…" He grumbled. Sakura laughed at him. He glared at her.

"Sakura-don't laugh, I'm serious!" He growled. She laughed harder that she was forced to lean against Sasuke to hold herself up and to not fall off the chair! She calmed down a bit and grinned.

"I was thinking of raising that subject on Christmas dinner!-" She burst out laughing again-this time with Sasuke laughing with her and holding her tighter than before.

"I think it is about time we started a family-we both want one…" She whispered. He smiled and sighed and stroked her hair. Sakura than jumped off Sasuke and ran over to the hallway and turned around with a smirk on her face.

"You hate this kimono right…?" She spoke huskily with the smirk still plastered on her face. He sighed angrily and glared at her.

"I didn't say we had to do it now…" He growled. Sakura then looked at him with some disappointment-then smirked again when an idea came to mind. She messed her hair up and pulled one of the sleeves down so her right shoulder was exposed.

"Sasuke-kun…why start later when we can do it now…?"

"I just got home from a mission Sakura…I've been in and out of town for the past two months non-stop…Can we do it after I sleep…?" He spoke huskily without realizing. Sakura sighed and turned around.

"Ok then!" She spoke with false cheeriness. She felt Sasuke's eyes still looking at her. She then loosened the kimono a bit and draped it so it exposed her naked back but still covered her. She heard Sasuke hissed and growled. She smirked at her success.

"You better know what you are doing to keep me interested other wise I'll fall asleep on you! Don't hold me back Sakura!" He spoke roughly. Sakura draped the kimono back on her shoulders-peeked over her shoulders-seeing his eyes were still black-but filled with hunger-and bolted to the bedroom laughing. Sasuke got up and chased her but suddenly grinded to a halt when she slammed the bedroom door in his face! He growled and aggressively opened it-only to meet cold water splash on his face! Sakura laughed and put the empty glass down on the bedside table. She looked at him who had his eyes closed with a very angry and frustrated look on his face. His red eyes opened and glared!

"Sa-ku-ra!" He growled-now fully awake and slammed the bedroom door shut. Christmas Day was then forgotten as their minds were set on the Rise of the Uchiha Clan.
