D: OH JEEZ! Sorry!

Naruto: WOW! You made these people wait a looong time. .

D: Awww I'm sure they loved the suspense… /reads one of the reviews/ "PLEASE HURRY UP! THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME!" Oh… well maybe they don't love it… I'd like to apologize for the long wait though. I had writers block for quite some time. But HEY it's in the Christmas season now!

Naruto: She doesn't own Naruto and if she did there would probably be a riot outside her house yelling about why Part 2 wasn't up yet.

December 24

"GOOD MORNING SAKURA-CHAN! AND HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVE!" Someone yelled outside the pink haired girl's door. It was 8 O'clock in the morning and the 3rd day of her break from training. She, in all honesty, thought she was going to KILL the blonde. She woke up and walked to her frozen window, which was lined with snow. Her eyes scanned the ground and found the orange suited male.

"Naruto you dumb ass! IT'S FRICKIN 8 IN THE MORNING!" Sakura yelled as she stuck her head out the window. Naruto took one look at her and felt terror fill his body. Her hair was a mess, no make up, she was still pale from her nights sleep and there were huge circles under her eyes, he knew immediately that his survival relied on him begging for forgiveness.

"OH 6! I'm SORRY SAKURA! I THOUGHT IT WAS… UM WELL… 10 and I thought you know you were going to be late for our brunch! So I made sure you were alive and well and…" Naruto had been edging away during his blubbering and then BOLTED. While sprinting for his life he yelled one last "HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVE SEE YOU AT BRUNCH…" and he was gone.

"AHHH YOU IDIOT!" Sakura yelled as she tucked her head under the window and threw her hands up in the air. She stared at the clock once more and rolled her eyes. 'Damn I'm not tired anymore,' she thought and sighed. This gave her a reason to actually visit her parents. Oh dear lord, how she was not looking foreword to this. She slowly walked towards the bathroom and did her normal morning routine.

She came out of the bathroom about an hour and half-later hoping she had taken more time than what she really had. She looked at the clock and moaned, well she had to do it sometime or later. Why not get it over with? She put her coat, scarf and hat on locked the door and made her way to her old house. She dragged her feet as she walked and was very disinterested in everything around her. Her hands were neatly put in the pockets of her coat and her eyes were focused on the ground in concentration.

'What the hell am I supposed to say? I haven't even seen them in 5 months let alone talk to them in 4." She told herself. 'Oh jeez.' Her feet kept walking and her mind kept racing. And sooner than needed she found her feet hit the steps leading to her house. Her eyes lifted to door and she took a deep breath as a shaky finger went towards the doorbell.

"OYE SAKURA-CHAN!"

"AHHH!" Sakura yelled as she fell into the pile of snow next to the steps.

"Oh damn it…" Naruto mumbled under his breath as he began to wince already. She slowly stood up and glared at the poor blonde.

"WHERE THE HELL DID YOU COME FROM?"

"Um well… I was doing some Christmas shopping and I saw you there and well…" WHAM.

"BAKA! You're stalking me!'

"NO I'M NOT! I saw you and I just wanted to say sorry for this morning!"

Sakura sighed as she massaged her temples. Oh god this was just perfect…

"What are you doing here anyway…"

"It IS Christmas Eve and these ARE my parents…"

"But you haven't talked to them in for…"

"I KNOW THAT!" She yelled. She was so frustrated now. Her parents didn't like her getting her own apartment, they didn't like her being a ninja (A/N), and most of ALL they didn't like Naruto.

"Sakura," Said a voice behind the door. 'Oh dear lord…' Sakura thought as she looked at the door then at Naruto. "It IS you! And… him."

"Hey Mrs. Haruno!" Said the blonde with a cheery smile.

"Sakura won't you come in!" Her mother said completely ignoring the grinning Naruto. Needless to say Sakura took notice and gave her mother the scariest look of her life, and then as if magic had happened she turned it into a smile.

"Yes Naruto and I would love to join you in a traditional Haruno Christmas eve breakfast." She said, with a grin.

"WHAT!" Said both Naruto and her mother.

"Yes, Naruto will be joining us for breakfast this morning, I want him to see a Haruno Christmas eve breakfast." The girl said with a smile. She knew her mother hated this. She swore to herself that if her mother never saw Naruto in a different light than the Kyuubi image she would never call herself a Haruno again.

"Um well, dear, you know that OUR family are the only ones that come to the breakfast."

"Yea Sakura-chan, it's okay I can just…" Naruto began to say but was cut off.

"No no, no, Naruto's never had a breakfast as great as this one so I'd like to have him eat it with us, if you'd rather him not be here well then I guess we can both leave." She said stubbornly but still had that trade mark fake smile.

Her mother looked at her daughter and then at the boy, she was in a corner now and she knew it. She looked down each side of the streets. "Come in come in hurry its getting cold out." The mother muttered.

"OK MOM WE'LL COME IN ME AND NARUTO WILL!" Sakura yelled so that everyone in the street could hear. She took Naruto's hand, which at this time looked terribly confused, and marched into the house with a glare shot towards her mother.

Sakura looked around the house and gave a small smile. This was, after all, her child- hood home. Naruto looked around the house; he had been in here before but not for very long, Sakura always had to rush him out for some reason he couldn't put his finger on it. The room they had just walked in was decorated with evergreen galore. Lights were hung around and the tree was in the corner of the room next to where the front window was.

"Naruto the kitchen is over here," She said with a smile, "This is THE best breakfast you will ever have." She ended with a cheery tone as if disregarding what had just happened between her and her mother.

"Hey daddy!" Sakura said as she walked into the kitchen. Her dad was sitting at the kitchen table reading the morning paper. "Nice to see you again."

"Sakura? So you decided to show? Hmm… Who is this you brought?" he asked as he cocked an eyebrow.

"This is…" Sakura began but was soon cut off.

"THE Uzumaki Naruto…" Her mother said as her eyes pointed at the boy.

"What is he…"

"Dad he's staying here for breakfast, he's a good friend of mine, the one who made me the great ninja I am today," She said as she sat down on a chair across from her father. "Naruto you can sit right here," She pointed to the chair on the left. The table was a square one, and had four chairs. "Naruto has never had a Christmas breakfast before let alone a Christmas Eve breakfast, I thought it would be a good idea to show him what it's like," Sakura said with a smile as she gave a smile towards the blonde. And then all went silent. Her parents couldn't afford to lose her again so they made a silent agreement to grin and bare it. Her mother was at the stove and her father continued reading the newspaper.

"Sakura-chan, umm," Naruto said and broke the 5 minute silence between the four of them. It was hard for him to think of an excuse but he had found one that would do, "Can you, um, oh! Show me the Christmas tree and all the ornaments?" He asked.

"Oh sure Naruto! We'll be back in a second," she said with a smile as they both walked into the room; and into the corner where the tree was.

"Sakura-chan you really didn't have to do this for me, I know your parents don't like and I'm fine with that, and I'm used to that. You really don't have to make your parents…"

"Naruto, I WANT you to be here, I'm glad you showed up! I'm sorry for bringing you in the middle of this, but you are my best friend and I'm sick of them talking bad about you. You don't deserve it. If you want to leave it's fine with me I hope you don't think of me as a bad person, it was bad judgement taking you in here like that," She said as she stared into his blue orbs.

"No Sakura, it's fine, I want to stay, that is if you want me to stay," He said as he too focused in on her eyes.

"Alright then it's settled, you're going to be here for Christmas Eve breakfast," She said with a grin. And Naruto gave a laugh. They both walked in with smiles, which only rose the irritation of the two parents.

Breakfast began and Sakura was right, this was by far the best breakfast he had ever seen. First the sausages and the eggs which were in the shapes of a reindeer, Naruto wandered how she pulled that off. Then the pancakes, which were in the shape of trees, were served with biscuits that resembled snowman. The holiday cereal was taken out next, which according to Sakura was a tradition started by her. The tension eased a little and everyone got a laugh in once in a while. Over all better than Sakura had ever expected it to go. Soon the morning was gone and past and Sakura found herself still sitting there in the chair discussing local news and rumors about the parents' old friends.

Sakura gave a sigh and a smile to her parents as she stood up.

"Well we got to go, we're supposed to meet our other team mates soon," Sakura said as she made her way to the door and noticed that her parents gave each other looks. After Sasuke betrayed the village they weren't too keen of him either. And Kakashi, well everyone knew his past. "Well we got to go thank you for the food, it was wonderful as always mum," she said as she kissed her mom and dad on the cheek. "Bye Daddy I'll see you soon, Merry Christmas!"

"Bye sweetie, I'll talk to you tomorrow," replied the mother.

"By Mr. and Mrs. Haruno, it was a pleasure, thank you for the food, I hope you won't have a problem with me in the future and we can talk more, Merry Christmas!" Naruto said.

"Good bye Naruto." They both said, as the two exited the house. The door shut and Sakura turned towards Naruto.

"Naruto, I… you…"

"I acted pretty good didn't I? I bit my tongue for once!" Naruto said with a grin, which made Sakura laugh.

"Thank you."

"Anything for my Sakura-chan…"

D: Psyche! This isn't the last chapter. I was honestly planning on it being the last chapter but then I thought I really needed to bring closure with the whole parent thing. I think we all have those friends which our parents, in lamest terms, dislike. Um the one author note I wanted to put in is I told you that the parents did NOT want her to be a ninja BUT in reality in the first chapter I made them ninjas. Well I figure she's an only child, their little angel, and they've seen what happens to people out there. They change and get hurt; they kill or will be killed. I don't picture Sakura's parents being very pro-ninja. Okay WELL next chapter MOST definitely. And it will be fairly sad for me because I love this fic and I love writing it. Do review.
