A Christmas For Her

It was now 11:55 P.M. and everyone finally made it to Hinata's room. Everyone was laughing and carrying on conversations. Hinata was talking to Toshiro and Uryu, talking about school and how things were going with their classes.

"Hinata." Uryu spoke, using his middle finger to push his glasses up to the bridge of his nose. "It's Christmas Eve, should you be worried about your studies on a night like this?" The male asked, earning a little smile from the lavender princess.

"I suppose not.." The girl looked down at her drink, twirling the liquid around in her glass. She felt a few different pairs of eyes on her, and it made her feel a little exposed.

"Hinata..!" Said girl spun her head around, seeing her pink haired best friend walking up to her with Ichigo at her side. "Isn't it 12 already?" Sakura asked with a little tilt of her head. Hinata's eyes widened a bit, looking over at her bed-side table, her alarm clock read '12:02 A.M.' making girl's cheeks flare up in embarrassment for not remembering her own game.

"G-Guys..!" Hinata semi-shouted, getting everyone's attention. "I-It's time for the secret Santa.. Can everyone s-sit in a circle f-for me?" Everyone did as told, except Sakura and Hinata, as they gathered up the gifts and set them in the middle of the circle and taking a seat themselves. The set up was: Hinata, Toshiro, Rangiku, Chad, Ino, Uryu, Sakura, Ichigo, Orihime, Naruto, Rukia, and Sasuke. Hinata leaned in a picked up a present, reading the name-tag.

"Sakura." The girl passed over the gift to Toshiro and he passed it to Rangiku. The pattern stopped once the present was in Sakura's lap.

"How pretty.." The girl motioned to the snowy blue wrapping paper. The gift was small, from looking at it, but Sakura was excited nonetheless. Hinata and Ino whipped out their phones to take photos, Ino recording and Hinata snapping away on the button as Sakura slowly opened the gift, her green hues growing as she lifted up a hair pin, it was a green hair pin with a little pink cherry blossom attached to the end. Ichigo watched Sakura's reaction closely.

"So, Sakura~? Do you like it~?" Ino sang, grinning from ear-to-ear.

"Of course! It's beautiful. Thank you to whoever bought it." Sakura smiled happily, making Ichigo's cheeks turn red. All eyes were on Ichigo, either giving him a thumbs up or a little smirk. The ginger just ignored it.

"Alright, your turn to the pick the present." Ichigo said, nudging Sakura's elbow as she placed the pin in her hair, pinning her bangs back. She looked up at Ichigo and stuck her tongue out, not replying, but just grabbing a near-by present. It was small as well.

"Sasuke." Sakura looked up at the raven haired boy, passing it around until it reached it's destination. Sasuke didn't waste time tearing open the dark blue wrapping paper. All the girls, except Rangiku and Rukia, were taking pictures and videos.

"Huh.." Sasuke voiced out, holding up a watch with his family symbol on it, in the middle where the clock was, was a picture of Sasuke's family. It was easy to tell that the watch was custom made. A small smile made it's way onto Sasuke's lips as he stared longingly at the watch, making Rukia's face light up and face away from the group, focusing on her lap. "Thank you." Sasuke took his arm and placed it over Rukia's shoulder, since she made it obvious she's the one who gave it to him.

"No p-problem." Rukia spluttered over her words, pouting slightly when Sasuke's arm was removed from her.

Slowly, everyone went and got their gifts. Sakura got her hair pin from Ichigo, Sasuke got his watch from Rukia, Ichigo got a little Kon key chain from Sakura, Orihime got a new picture frame for her bother's picture from Naruto, Toshiro got a knitted scarf from Hinata, Uryu got a notebook and a 'Book for Nerds' novel from Ino, Ino got a little diary from Uryu, Rangiku got a new bra from Sakura, Chad got a razor and shaving cream from Ichigo, Hinata received some soap and lavender scented perfume from Sasuke. Rukia was given a large rabbit plushie from Sasuke, Chad had given Ichigo a book on how to pick up women, Naruto was given a new orange jacket from Orihime, and..

"Wha?" Hinata's eyes grew at the little pendant in her hand, it was golden and heart-shaped. When she opened it, there was nothing inside.

"Ooo.. how pretty!" Sakura said, looking at the gift. Hinata lifted the necklace up for everyone to see, earning 'awe' and 'how pretty' from everyone. The girl hooked the necklace around her neck, and smiled.

"Thank you."

"Come on guys, it's time for bed." Ichigo yawned out, pulling out his sleeping bag. The whole 'Secret Santa' mess was cleaned and now that it was two in the morning, everyone was exhausted and ready for sleep. Hinata hopped in her bed, Sasuke slid in at the end of the king sized bed, Sakura laid next to Ichigo, Rangiku was in between Chad and Uryu, beside Uryu was Ino. Rukia laid underneath Sasuke. Orihime and Naruto were beside each other, cuddling close. Toshiro was given permission to sleep beside Hinata in her bed. Cautious, the white haired male slipped in, and in an instant, was cuddled by a sleeping Hinata.

'She must've been really tired..' Toshiro thought, looking down at the girl, smiling softly. He placed his head down on the pillow and just let the girl snuggle into him. 'Goodnight, my Princess.'
