Kuro: ^_^ Hey guys! It's taking me awhile to finish the next chapter; so I'm gonna give you guys an omake for Christmas!

Kakashi Plu.: Why, Kuro-chan?

Kuro: Um... because I'm a lazy bum and a plot bunny has torn a hole in my brain?

Kakashi Plu.: *shrugs*

Shikamaru Plu.: So... is it gonna be like a weird 12 days of Christmas thing... or maybe Hanukkah?

Kuro: *giggles* That would be mean to do to Hanukkah! Menorahs are pretty! Anyways, no its not gonna be like that... it'll be an *ACTUAL* fic... kinda...

Shika Plu.: *sighs and crawls into trench coat*

Chibi Max: *sitting on Kuro's head* Kuro-chan, the disclaimer!

Kuro: ??? Oh! Discy!!

Disclaimer: Kuro does not own the Roman Catholic religion (or Christmas), Naruto, the Jewish religion (or Hanukkah!)

Omake: A Crazy Christmas

~@_@~

Hinata sighed as she wandered through the streets. Some how Christmas time had come, but she blamed Sasuke for that. Damn him and his ninja-prowess! And the stupid thing was; she didn't celebrate Christmas!

"What should I get Naruto-kun for Christmas?" Hinata asked herself. He was the only person she hadn't shopped for. She had gotten Sasuke a book. A book about ballet and Ninjistu mixed together. She had gotten Sakura collar that said... well... 'Cherry Blossom' with a cherry blossom, both engraved in the chocker. She had bought Kiba some dog treats (Why? Why not!?), and Shino new sunglasses. Though they oddly looked exactly like the one's he had at that moment. Oh well. Hinata continued walking and sighed.

"What's wrong Hinata?" somebody asked from behind her. Hinata spun around, almost toppling over.

"GAHK~!" she scrambled to catch her bags before they fell, only to succeed and fall over. "Itai..." she moaned. Somebody laughed. "You could help you know!" she scowled at the person. She saw black shoed feet, and black pants, and a green vest... a covered up eye and silver hair. AH!! KAKASHI!! Kakashi chuckled.

"Gomen Hinata-chan. I didn't mean to frighten you. I was wondering; have you seen Akamaru-kun?" Kakashi asked. Hinata blinked as she stood up and picked up her bags.

"He was with Kiba-kun the last time I saw him... he's always with Kiba-kun though..." Hinata gave the teacher a strange look. Kakashi flailed.

"AIBOU~!!" he squealed running off. Hinata sweat dropped.

"Am I missing something??" she asked herself out loud. She sighed. Oh well. Hinata shrugged, and kept walking down the street. Hours passed and she still couldn't think of the perfect gift for Naruto. "What am I to do?" she moaned. Suddenly she saw Naruto exit the Ramen shop. A light bulb went off above Hinata's head and she practically galloped to a shop to buy something for Naruto.

~*~*~

Hinata looked proudly around at the brightly wrapped gifts. She had done well, if she did say so herself! And, her friends and she were giving out the presents the next day. It was well into the night, so Hinata changed into her pajama's and crawled into bed. She dreamt of... well, sugar plums I guess. Is it really my business to peek into the minds of the characters?? No. They're just there for me to play with and control the minds of and MUA HAHAHA--- maybe I should quit while I'm ahead.

~*~

The next day Hinata practically flew to the forest where the teens were meeting. She was the first to arrive and she stood bouncing on her heels.

"Hinata-chan!" a pair of voices called out to her. Hinata turned to see Shino and Kiba walking up.

"Ohayo Kiba-kun! Shino-kun!" Hinata grinned.

"Ohayo," Kiba waved. Shino merely nodded. After a few more minutes, Sasuke and Naruto, dragging Sakura behind them, arrived.

"Ohayo," everyone said. After exchanging presents, they decided to open the ones from one specific person. (Like... everyone would open the present from Hinata all at once ^^; a weird way to unwrap presents, but I'm a psycho and they are my little pawns!) They decided to open Sakura's presents first. Strangely they were all... dog shaped cookies.

"Arigatou Sakura-chan..." everyone sweat dropped while Sakura barked happily. Next was... Kiba's presents! Hinata received a plush dog doll that looked Akamaru except brown instead of white. Sakura was given a pink headband that blended with her hair. Naruto got a dog tag (A/N~ Like those things that military people used to wear that had their numbers on them ^^ ;;) that had kitsune with a fox paw on it. Sasuke got... a brand new car! No, he didn't but, he got black gloves with the Uchiha symbol on them. Shino on the other hand got a new shirt that said 'Bite me' with a mosquito in the background.

"Arigatou Kiba-kun!" Hinata squealed, hugging the plush toy to death. Kiba laughed and blushed.

"Arigatou!" Sasuke and Naruto said oddly in unison. Shino nodded to Kiba, and Sakura... smiled.

"Arigatai," Kiba blushed. Next they opened, Naruto's presents! He gave them all fun bowls. All colored and patterned accordingly to the person they were given to.

"Arigatou!" Naruto bowed. Next they opened Shino's presents. He gave them all non-matching socks. Naruto got a red sock and an orange one, Kiba got a blue one and a green one, Hinata got a black striped one and a red striped one, Sasuke got a black one and a navy one, and Sakura got a pink one and a striped pink one.

"Whoa! Socks!" Sasuke gushed, as though he had never seen socks before. Shino shrugged.

"They were strange, and your all strange, so whatever floats your boat there Sasuke-kun," Shino said with another shrug.

"Thanks Shino," Kiba sweat dropped. Hinata giggled. Next they opened Sasuke's presents. They were all...

"Mops?" Kiba asked raising an eyebrow.

"It's a herd of mops!" Naruto squealed.

"I am..." Kiba began.

"So frightened," Shino finished.

"That was incredibly scary. Save me," Hinata muttered.

"Mops rock my socks! Ha! And I got new socks that have not been rocked by the mop," Naruto giggled innocently.

"That sounded vaguely wrong," Shino edged away from the fox boy. Kiba and Hinata blinked with fun blinking noises and... Okay, moving on.

"Okay... moving on..." Kiba imitated. Finally the opened their presents from Hinata. Sakura yelped happily and pawed at Hinata to put it on. Hinata amusedly put the chocker on Sakura, while the dog-girl yipped happily. Sasuke giggled in a school-girl fashion and thanks Hinata and began reading while putting on his socks, and slurping ramen, wow is HE ever multitasked. Shino put on his new sunglasses and looked around. Kiba glomped Hinata.

"Arigatou! I was running out, because SOMEONE," Kiba shot a glare at Sakura who looked innocently at him, "kept eating them all!"

"Arigatai Kiba-kun," Hinata giggled.

"YAY!! THANK YOU~ HINATA!!!" Naruto shouted. Hinata blushed and nodded to him.

"Arigatai Naruto-kun," Hinata responded automatically.

"I was running low on ramen!" Naruto held up his new bag of ramen noodles and grinned in his kitsune-ish way. The teens decided to go get a bit to eat before heading home and spending the rest of the day with their families. Well, this excludes Sasuke who was planning on dancing with a mop.

I sure hope they have a happy holiday before they have to finish solving whats wrong with team seven. I feel for them still.

~&_&~

Kuro: ^_^ Well guys, that's it for now! I'm gone to Montreal for 6 days (BAH HUMBUG!) so I won't be able to update until after the Christmas holidays. I'm spending MOST of it in Montreal, and my mom says 'no your not!' 6 out of 15? Well, it certainly SEEMS like most of it. Anyways, hope you guys enjoyed your little 'Omake'

Kakashi Plu.: T-T I'm scandalized!

Kuro: ??? Excuse me?

Kakashi Plu.: I wasn't in the chapter!

Kuro: Course not, you're a PLUSHIE!

Kakashi Plu.: Oh yeah!

Nami Plu.: *thwacks Kakashi on the head* BAKA!!

Luffy Plu.: ^_^ YAY! It wasn't ME this time!

Kuro: OKAY you guys! You're scaring the readers! Okay on three... 1... 2... 3....

Chibi Max, Chibi-Kai-Clone#3, and Chibi-Rei-Clone#3: GO SHOOT!!!

Kuro: O.o;? NO!! The OTHER thing!

Chibi's: ?_? Oh! Okies!

Kuro: 1... 2... 3...!

Kuro, Chibi's, and all plushies: HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!

Kuro: ^_~ Happy Gobble Gobble Day, and Happy Easter! HAPPY RAMIDAN!!

{P.S~ Sorry if the omake seems... rushed ^^;; I was running out of ideas!}

Kuro's Dictionary (Too lazy to write out full name)

Arigatou- Thank you!
Sakura- cherry blossoms... notice my cheesy-ness??
Aibou- Loved one... or something O.o I know it, but can't remember it right now... correct me if I'm wrong!
Arigatai- you're welcome... or more specifically "grateful; thankful; welcome; appreciated; evoking gratitude"
Kitsune- fox!

And a note on the Chibi's "Go shoot" thing. In Japanese instead of 'Let it rip' they say 'Go shoot'. I find it funny. Oh an the whole mop and sock thing; I thank Aiko-chan for that. Mops rock her sox lol! ^__^ Mop ARE the future, anyways... JA NE~!

Oh and for those that don't know; and omake is an extra.
