Chapter 12: Christmas Surprise

I woke up to tired to even move
Then it hit me
IT'S CHRISTMAS!!

I jumped out of bed my tiredness forgotten
I ran to the bathroom took a quick shower ran to my closet and looked for something to wear
After 10 minutes rampaging thru my closet I found the perfect thing

A long red off shoulder top that stops till mid thigh a black leggings and some knee high boots a wore some silver bangles and let my hair down with my bangs over my left eye I wore a headband deer antlers with bells that sasuke bought for me when we bought the tree

I ran down stairs to the main hall
" hello sweety" a female voice said
I turned slowly meet two middle aged people in middle of the kitchen one was a woman with long pink silky hair with green eyes in a red sweater then next to her was a man he had dark brown hair with dark brown eyes that are almost black in a black turtle neck sweater
" MOM DAD YOUR HERE!"

I ran towards them arms opened
they both gave me a welcoming hug
I buried myself in my mom's hair
" merry Christmas baby! Of course were here we will never miss this for the world!"
" hey Sakura!!!!"

I turned to the annoying blond who was sitting on the couch next to the raven haired emo kid playing videogames on the TV
" hey Naruto, hey sasuke !"
I walked over to them
They paused the game and walked over to me " merry Christmas Cherry Blossom" the both hugged me on each side of me then both gave me a kiss in the cheek I was as red as a tomato by now

'Sasuke's fav hope he likes it--what am I saying!? Stop it ' I mentally slapped myself
I sat on the couch then a familiar cat jumped on my lap
"hey Blossom! Merry Christmas kitty
, hn so you decided to leave sasuke's room huh kitty?" she looked up at me and purred in my face. She had a scent
" Man Blossom! You even smell like his perfume!" I sniffed her " hmm Hugo Boss and Lacoste much sasuke?" I grinned at him
" shut up "he responded joking]

"Oh don't be such kill joy!" I removed my antlers and placed them on sasuke's head the motion of him turning away made the bells ring
His face was priceless he looked like one of Those littel stubborn boys that hate what their mothers are making them wear I couldn't help but start laughing
" soo now that sakura's here can we open the presents now " Naruto started jumping up and down just like when he was little every time Santa comes to town.
" yes you may sweety!" my mom placed her hand on his shoulder trying to hold Naruto down
We sat down on the carpet floor next to the tree
my mom and dad were on the couch with a camera ready

I was first to exchange
I gave them both the hoodies I made for the past 2 weeks
Naruto's was black
The arm the pockets and the hood was orange on the back it had a orange swiggle, his symbol

Sasuke's was the same design
It was black
The arms and the hood where red and on his back and right arm was the clan symbol.
" thank you sakura" they both said as they wore the hoodies
I also got blossom a gift a
Hot pink neck color with a silver piece where all her information is so if she gets lost or runs away someone will find her and bring her back
I got a meow at me and she sat on my lap purring. I think she likes it

It was Sasuke's Turn
He gave me a long velvet box I opened it and there was a silver chain ,black heart with a pink gem in the middle necklace
"sasuke it's beautiful ,thank you"
He gave Naruto a ramen bowl with Naruto's name printed on it and a t-shirt that says 'I LOVE RAMEN'
" Whoo Ramen! thank you "

It's Naruto's turn now
He gave me a bracelet, the matching set of the necklace
"Thank you Naruto "
And he gave sasuke a software program for his computer that will let sasuke compose and record music on his computer
a 'hn' was all he got
" I'll take that as a thank you very much"
Then i remembered the other gifts
" be right back guys I got more"
" if it's more antlers I'll run away "
Sasuke removed the antlers and placed them on Naruto , and as much of an idiot Naruto is he started playing with the bells like a cat

I ran up to my room an retrieve sasuke's guitar and Naruto's iPod
I placed the guitar in the corner where you can't see it
I walked to Naruto and gave him the iPod

"An iPod touch?!? OMG SAKURA THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!"
He literally tackled me to the floor
" Naruto please get off me" I struggled for air" oops sorry" he got off and helped
me up I walked to the main room to retrieve sasuke's gift
"sasuke close your eyes"
I got a 'hn' in response

I unzipped the case and took out the guitar
I walked the corner peeking if sasuke did as I said
Naruto eyes became saucers he was gaping in shock at the guitar
My parents had almost the same expression
I put my index finger to miss lips motioning to them to be quiet

I walked stood in front of sasuke
" you can open your eyes now!"
He lazily started opening them then when he saw the guitar his eyes widened in surprise and shock
He looked at me then the guitar then back at me he was speechless!!
I walked closer to him handing him the guitar he took it inspecting it
Then suddenly placed it down
Then stood up
He got me in a death hug lift me up and started twirling me
" OH MY GOD SAKURA! THANK YOU THANK YOU I LOVE YOU!!" he started kissing me everywhere on my face ( except the lips, inner sakura is mad )
" Sasuke but me down I'm gonna be sick!" he put me down and gave me one more kiss on the cheek

" sorry" I think my face is as red as my shirt

' omg I made the ice cube say " I love you" '

'WHY DIDNT YOU KISS HIM WHEN HE WAS KISSING YOU MAN SOMETIMES I THINK YOU STUPID'
' me is you inner sakura that mean you're stupid to'
' OH...'

" come here dears we also got gifts for you" my mom said as my dad went outside
" oh all of you stand in a line eyes closed and your right palm out " we did as she said
Then I felt something small cold and it feels like metal or aluminum
" ok open!" my mom sounded really excited
I open my eyes to find a key with a note attached mine says " KIA Soul"
We looked at over eatchother
Naruto's says " mustang"
And sasuke says " Dark knight "
Then it hit me

" mom you didn't !"
" oh yes we did!" there was a honk heard from outside we scrambled in our jackets And made a rampage to the door
We all stop dead in our track
Our moths where like touching the floor
" wow"
" un-believable"
" believe it dobe" [A/N I just had to do that I couldn't resist]

In front of us was 2 cars and a motorcycle
We each when to OUR car
Naruto's was a dark green almost black Mustang with two racing strips on it
Mine was a light pink KIA soul with dark pink and silver cherry blossom tree design on the sides
Sasuke was a slick black motorcycle
( giving it the name Dark Knight) with the uchiha symbol on the side
Using the key we got we opened the door and started the engine
Sasuke hopped on the bike and started the engine he wore the helmet and put the glass down it was tinted black
" how do I look?" he asked
' HOTT' my inner was saying
" Awesome!"
" Cool!"
My dad walked up to him
He turned off the engine and we walked out of our cars sasuke removed the helmet
" it's gonna be snowing for a while so I'm gonna let you borrow my car"
He handed sasuke a key
Then my dad when over to the garage he ripped a piece of cloth off to reveal a slick black Porsche
' so that's what was under there the whole time ' I thought as I sweatdropped

" thank you I can't thank you enough, I will repay you" Sasuke literally bowed down to my parents
" no need honey" my mom stated
My dad put his arms around Naruto's and sasuke's shoulder
" Naruto, sasuke this is a gift for keeping our daughter safe all these years and the only way to repay us is keeping her safe protect her even when we are gone"
A tear when down my cheek
" yes e promise"
We all when into a group hug
after a while we got back inside
" sakura we need to talk to you" my mom called me over
" yes?"
" well it's just that -" my mom started
" well we Kinda skipped the meetings to be here and we have to get back ASAP"
my dad finished
" oh" I was happy that they did this to me but sad they have to leave in such a short time
" we promise will come back soon". They gave me one last hug and left

Sigh

"so..What are we going to do now?"
" I'm going to the cemetery, you wanna come sakura?"
he plucked a rose from a decoration on the table
" sure" he hasn't been there in a while
" me and Hinata are going to BeniHana later you can join if you want"
" sure"
We wore out coats and walked into the cold, we chose to go in my car
I turned on the engine turned on the heater and backed out of the drive way
After a few minutes of driving we reached the Cemetery
We got off the car and walked inside we walked in silence
But we stopped when we saw a bouquet of Tulips between the 2 tombstones it wasn't even touched by the falling snow I looked around we are the only ones here
" sakura did-"
" I haven't been here for weeks and mom was with us the whole time"
Only my mom, sasuke and me know Tulips are Mikotos Favorite
After a few minutes we shrugged it off maybe it's a family friend
We both crouch down and cleaned off the newly fallen snow off the tombs
Sasuke placed the rose next to the strange bouquet
I place a hand on reach tomb
" Merry Christmas Mikoto Fugaku "
We sat there for a while in silence
I felt the temperature getting 5 degrees colder and it was about 5:30
" sasuke we should back"
I placed a hand on his shoulder
" go on a head I'll be right there"
I kissed my hand and placed them on the tombstones
I walked back to the car before leaving the gate I toke a glance back sasuke was on his knees he looks like he's talking... I saw a Cristal glint on his cheek.

Is he... Crying?
This worries me , but I trust him if it's something he'll tell me
I turned the engine on and put on heater
Then suddenly the door open and sasuke came in with a blank face
I sqweezed his hand " are you ok?"
" yea I'm fine"
I saw he was telling the truth I backed out the parking lot
We got back to the house and walked inside
Naruto is playing a video game on the big flat screen in the living room.

I wacked him the pillow
"Naruto is all you do is play Video games all day?"
" Sakura that hoits!" he yelped
" so when do we leave for BeniHana?"
I asked
" in about a hour or so "
I looked at sasuke he looked back
" I got dibs on the bath !"
" nuh-uh!!"
I ran upstairs I was about to open the door when sasuke grabbed me by the waist I forgot to move and breath the slam of the door shaped me back to reality .

"SASUKE THAT'S UNFAIR I CALLED DIBS!" I was banging on the door I could hear sasuke chuckle on the other side
I stormed to my room to find what to wear
I picked a long silver baby doll top with black leggings with studs on the side with black ballet flats
I placed them on my bed
15 minutes later I heard the bathroom door open I walked outside to see sasuke in only a towel

' omg omg omg omg'
' RIPP IT OFF!'
' Inner sakura you're a pervert! '
Mentally slapped her
'HEY WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!'
' for begging a Perv!'

" took you long enough!" i diverted my eyes to his face i don't even dare stare lower
" it's all yours" he walked to his room

' I RATHER TAKE YOU IN THE BATHROOM , WAIT FOR ME SASUKE'
' Shut it Inner Sakura'

After a nice long hot shower i ran to my room and wore my outfit
I decided to put my hair up
my hair grew since the Karin incident i decided to maybe cut it again
I put it in a tight bun with Chop sticks
I let my bangs over my left eye
i wore some eyeliner and alittel lip gloss
i wore the matching necklace and bracelet Naruto and sasuke gave me
I walked down stairs to find Naruto just about to leave
He was wearing a dress shirt with the top 2 buttons un-buttoned with a black blazer also un buttoned the sleeves where folded to his elbow with casual jeans and white converse

" hey Sakura im going to pick up Hinata meet you there!" he grab the car keys and left
" so whose car we are taking" the feel of warm breath against my neck sent shivers down my spine
" HOLY SH-"
" Watch your language young lady!" he said mockingly
I punched him in the arm
I looked over sasuke's clothing for a few seconds he had the same style as Naruto but all black. his dress shirt was black 3top unbuttoned black blazer the sleeves folded to the elbow black fitting jeans with black converse with a studded belt and a little chain we had
A silver bracelet on his left hand and a leather wrist band on his right

"you're the one who scared me to death!"
I truly didn't hear him come down stairs
Hes like somekind of ninja or Vampire

'YOU WOULD LIKE THAT WONT YOU'
' -dreammy sigh- yes'
Ever since Twilight and Vampire Diaries my vampire obsession was growing

Sasuke snapped me back to reality
" so..which car?"
" the Porsche DUH!"
We wore our coats me knowing what im wearing i wore the big long one i had
We got to the garage and hopped into the car the inside was as good as the outside the seats were leather and the stitching where red
" your dad had good taste for cars
Im staring to think he's loving this
He started the engine
" hear this baby purr"
" your loving this aren't you" i stated
" maybe.." he said innocently
We made our way to the restaurant after a brief moment stuck in traffic we made it
we parked the car sasuke opened the door for me he linked arms with me we walked fast but cautious about the ice ,we finally reached the door he opened it for me I nod as a thank you it was warm inside the front desk was on the side and waiting chairs nearby behind was a wooded design of cherry blossom tree
there was a young girl probably the Hostess in a black and red kimono looking uniforms except the wore pants

she looked up and blushed at the sight of sasuke
she walked up to him standing a bit to close then comfortable
" do you have a Reservation with me?"
he ignored her question
" reservations for Uzumaki or Hyuuga"
she looked sad check the papers
" yes the others are here already I'll show the table" she grabbed sasuke's arm and led the way
he shoke her off and let his elbow out
" aren't you coming?"
I walked next to him and link arms with him
the hostess gave me a glare
I returned the glare and stuck my tongue out. I felt so childish

" hey sakura sasuke over here!"
we turned to see the annoying blond waving his hands while Hinata just smiled back
we sat down the waiter asked for drinks and gave us the menu
I put down the menu and looked over at Hinata
" hey hina you look beautiful "
her hair was half clipped back she wore a purple top with a bow on it and black leggings she also wore black ballet flats
she was wearing this beautiful diamond necklace that Naruto gave her for Christmas
me and Naruto took hours deciding whether to buy it or not
" thank you Saki so do you!
"Thanks "
after out meal entertainment

we went back home to watch movies
" so what movie are we gonna watch " I said as a plopped down on the couch
"me and Naruto are gonna pick "said hina
soon after the door bell rang
" I'll get it! "I said
I walked over to the door I froze in shock
at my door step was the last person I would ever see
" hello sakura long time no see"
his voice was deep he has a low pony tail his eyes where onyx..
this is the guy! the one who I bumped into in Down Town a few weeks ago
words got stuck in my throat
" i...ita...ita-chi...U...uchi-ha..."
Itachi Uchiha was at my door step…..
