It was Christmas Morning. Kristy, Satsuya, James and I were setting up the Christmas party. I had invited all my friends and Senseis. All my Senseis had said they could come and most of my friends could make it.

"Where do you want this Tyaku?!" Kristy called out. She was holding a large bowl that would be filled with punch.

"Um…on the big table." I said as I was setting up the decorations. She went to put the bowl down on the table. James came through the door with the food.

"Got the food!" he shouted from the hallway.

"Kay! Put the turkey in the oven and set up the Snacks." I yelled back.

"Gimme the Turkey!" Satsuya exclaimed. "We don't have time to cook it in the oven!"

"Then what do we do?!" I shouted and ran into the kitchen.

"We are Shinobi Tyaku! We should use our powers to aid us! I'll Just Fire Style it!" She said as she ran outside. I ran outside with her hold lights and other decorations.

"Are you sure? Even with your fire style it'll take at least 45 minutes! Can you retain your fire style that long?"

"I got it, don't worry!" she began performing hand seals. "Fire Style: Grand Flame Jutsu!" she exerted a large flame, engulfing the turkey in fire. She's right! We are Shinobi! We should use our abilities to our advantage! I looked at the lights in my hands then looked at the large house I had to put it around. I placed the decorations on the ground and pulled out a kunai. I slit both my palms and put the kunai away. The cold air stung my fresh wound but I tired to ignore it. I held my open hands out. "Blood Chains!" my chains of blood came out of my hand and grabbed the lights and other decorations. With one swift motion the light were placed all over the house.

"Well that takes care of the that!" I said. I turned around to see Satsuya still heating up the turkey. "Good luck out here!" I said before I ran back inside. We were almost done setting up and the party started in an hour. James finished setting up the snacks when I came back inside.

"Tyaku, where are the cups?" Kristy asked. My eyes widened.

"Danm it, the cups! That's what I forgot!" I smashed my head multiple times. "Alright I'm going to get them!"

"But the store is a 45 minutes walk from here. You'll never make it back in time." Kristy said.

"Don't worry! I got this!" I said as I ran out the front door. "I'll be back in bit!" I took a running stance and channeled my lightning chakra to my feet. "Lightning Style: Lighting Step!" lightning chakra exited my feet shooting me forward and high speeds. I rushed through the town.

Within 20 minutes I was at the store. I quickly found the cups and went of to the check out. All the lines were really freaking long. I waited for about ten minutes. Come on! COME ON! I have places to be! As I got to the check out I pulled out my wallet and pays the guy at the check out. I walked outside and tucked the cups into my jacket making sure they didn't fall out. The snow had gotten a little bit deeper since I was in the store. Gotta be more careful this time! I charged the lightning chakra in my feet again, as dashed back to the house.

As I was rushing at full speed, I didn't realize the ice patch on the ground and failed to avoid it. SHIT! I fell and smashed my knee into the ground. I cried out in pain. I think I dislocated it! Great and I'm still like a 10 minute walk away! I held my knee. I began to mold the blood around my knee to push it into place and hold it there! That should work for a bit. But I still need to get that looked at! I got back up and began running normally. It still hurt a bit. I couldn't run at full speed. I channeled the lightning chakra into my feet again and ran at a slowed speed. Every step felt like I was being stabbed with a sword in my knee.

I got back and it was about 5 minutes before the party started. And there were already people heading into the house. Danm it I'm late! For my own party too! I quickly jumped over the house to the back. As I landed in my knee gave out and I collapsed.

"Tyaku! There you are!" Satsuya exclaimed. "Are you okay?!" she helped me up.

"Yea I'm fine!" She took the cups and walked me inside. "I'll get the door!" I said as I head toward the door.

"What do you mean?" She asked as the doorbell rang!

I opened the door to see Iruka-Sensei and about half of our class. "Welcome everyone!" everyone came in and hugged me, Kristy, Satsuya and James. I limped over the stereo system and put on some music.

Guest continued to arrive until about 7:15. At about 7:20 I stood on a table.

"Excuse me everyone!" I shouted everyone quieted down and turned to face me. "Thank you all for coming to my first Christmas party!" Everyone cheered. "I hope you all enjoy yourselves! Now let's kick it off with some KARAOKE!" everyone cheered and Kristy brought out some microphones. People started to sing as Satsuya, Kristy and I set up the dinner.

After about half an hour of karaoke we called everyone into the dinning room for dinner. Everyone sat around the table. I sat on the end of the table with James to my left and Naruto-Sensei to my right. The food was passed around and everyone took some. We all held hands and bowed our head as Kristy said grace.

"Thank you lord for the food we are about to receive. Bless our friends and family. And bless the hands that made the food! Amen!"

"Amen!" everyone said in unison. Everyone picked up there knives and forks and started eating and talking around. Iruka-Sensei, sitting right next to Naruto-Sensei, looked at me.

"This is delicious Tyaku! Did you make this?" He asked.

"Satsuya made the turkey, and James and I made the rest of the food!" I said.

"Wow it's amazing. And it's amazing that the four of you organized this yourselves!" Naruto-Sensei exclaimed. Iruka-Sensei nodded as he stuffed his face.

I looked down the table at James who was motioning to his phone. I took mine out of my pocket and looked at it. There was one text. I opened it. 'We did good bro! Thumbs up!' it read.

'Defiantly :)' I sent back.

After dinner was over got everyone in a giant circle and sat presents in the middle. Everyone was given a number and awaited instructions. I stood up in the middle of the circle and began to explain. "Okay so…the way the game works is everyone has a number. We start at one and go up. The first person picks a present from the middle. Then anyone after that can either pick a present from the middle or choose to steal a present from someone else, after which that person can then steal someone else's present except the one just stolen from them or take something from the middle again. One present can only be stolen 3 times a round. Now let's begin! Who's number 1?" I asked. Jasmine stood up. She took a present from the center and opened it. It was a gift basket full of chocolates. Number 2 went up and some on till everyone but one person have gone. Everyone fought over a couple of gifts stealing them round after round.

Hours later everyone began to leave. As soon as Kristy, Satsuya, James and I were the only ones left we started cleaning up. James and Satsuya went to bed early 'cause the partied the hardest. Kristy and I finished cleaning up the rest of the mess ourselves.

"You should really get that looked at!" She said as I walked toward the door of the kitchen.

"You could tell?" I said looking at my knee.

"Yea! You've been limping all night. How could I not?" she walked up to me. "You shouldn't push yourself with that you know!"

I rubbed the back of my neck. "Yea I know!" I tried to walk but my knee hurt even more now.

"Here let me look!" she said. She dropped down and pulled my pant leg up and saw how swelled up it was. She whispered something under her breath and stood back up. "Well that needs to be looked at defiantly."

"I will in the morning!" I said as I started to walk toward my room. But as I tried to move I noticed my feet were stuck. I looked down to see that Kristy's mud shot jutsu was around my feet. When I turned back to face her she was holding up a hand seal and hand a smile on her face.

"Look up!" she said softly. There was a mistletoe hanging above us in the doorway. As I looked down I realized she had done that. She began to lean into me. I closed my eyes and leaned into her. OH DANM! I CANT BELIVE THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING! We leaned into each other and kissed. It was an amazing kiss. A kiss from the girl of my dreams. In all the confusion of the party, I totally forgot to hang a mistletoe. The kiss was so intense there was just nothing better, no way to describe how amazing it was. She finally released after about a minute. She leaned her head on me and smiled for a second the got up.

"Well goodnight Tyaku!" she started walking up to her room and I stood there stunned and in Awe. She actually kissed me! I turned to walk to my room and realized I was still stuck.

"Um…Kristy! I'm still stuck! HEEEEEEELPPP!" I shouted.
