Thats perfect
Sasuke walked into the shop as the shopkeeper hurried over.
"Good morning young man, how may I help you today?" the shopkeeper was a old man with white hair and gentle blue eyes.
"How much is that in the window?" Sasuke asked abruptly pointing to something in the window.
"That? No one has ever looked twice at that. How interesting... its five hundred yen, if you want it. A bargain really. If you don't have that much with you I'll lower the price."
"I'll take it."

But now that he's bought Sakura her present, he had another problem:
How would he give it to her?
Great. Now I've spent money on her and I'm not sure if she'll even like it. And how am I supposed to give her something anyways? This sucks.
Sasuke pondered this as he walked down the snowy road, staring at the gift he bought with apparent dread.

Christmas day...
Sakura sighed heavily.
How should I give this gift to Sasuke? Will he even want it? Maybe I shouldn't give anything at all. I mean, after all, he does call me annoying all the time.
Sakura thought about this a little more and gave up.
I guess I'll go and give Naruto and Kakashi-sensei their gifts. I'll figure out what to do about this later.

At Naruto's house...
Sakura made her way to Naruto's apartment and knocked on his door. Inside, you could hear the thuds of footsteps stomping through the piles of trash that enflooded his apartment.
At last, Naruto pried open the door and greeted her with a exuberant smile.
"Oh, hi Sakura-chan, Merry Christmas! Naruto said, breathless from carving a path through the sea of trash.
"Merry Christmas to you to, Naruto! I just came by to drop off your Christmas present." said Sakura, digging for Naruto's present in her big shopping bag.
"Here you go!" Said Sakura happily, holding out his gift.
Naruto made quick work of the ramen-printed wrapping paper to find that his present was a box filled with about thirty packages of ramen. When Naruto saw the box of ramen, his eyes widened.
Sakura could see the Ramen cups dancing a jig in his eyes, and she started giggling.
"THANK YOU SAKURA-CHAN!" said Naruto tackling Sakura with a bone crushing hug.
"Y-your welcome." said Sakura, a bit startled by his reaction.
"Naruto...P-please get off, I. can't. breath..." she was beginning to turn a light shade of purple.
Naruto let go of her, rubbing his head sheepishly.
"Hehe, sorry Sakura-chan.
Sakura gasped for air, her natural color returning. Once she recovered she smiled again.
"That's okay, have a Merry Christmas!" She turned to leave.
"Wait, Sakura-chan! I haven't given you your gift!" called Naruto, rummaging through some trash behind him. Sakura sweatdropped at the sight.
"Ah, here it is! He called at last.
Naruto handed Sakura a package. She unwrapped the pink wrapping paper to find a picture of Team Seven inside a beautiful metal frame.
"Oh! Thank you Naruto! This is wonderful!" She gasped, admiring the delicate frame.
"Well, I remember you telling me that yours was ruined when you had a leak in you ceiling and it got wet...So here's a new copy for you."
"Thank you so much Naruto! But I really have to go, I still have presents to give out."
"Bye Sakura-chan!"
"Bye!" And with that she disappeared down the steps.

After Sakura left Naruto's apartment, she made her way to Kakashi's house. She knocked on his door and waited about five minutes before he opened it. But, he didn't look quite awake so she just handed him his gift and wished him a Merry Christmas.
After giving a present to Naruto and Kakashi each, she made her way home. She was walking down the back road when she saw someone very unexpected.
"Sasuke-kun, is that you?"
