D: Here we go! Goodness let's see if I can finish this for Christmas!

Naruto: haha this will be a Christmas Miracle if I ever did see one.

D: I don't own Naruto… that should be obvious enough. Thank you for the reviews. I'm sorry for all the mistakes.

Sakura's eyebrow twitched as she made her way across the room towards Sasuke.

"What the hell," she whispered to the boy as she roughly pulled him up from the ground, "You promised you were going to come!"

"I WAS going to come, when Naruto called I was being sarcastic, he took the wrong way the next thing I knew the dobe was at my front door and dragged me here!" Sasuke said, his eyebrow was twitching now. Sasuke's clothes weren't in terrible condition, I mean sure there was dirt and some minor rips but it wasn't as bad as it could have been.

Sakura sighed and looked through her purse, "Here, it's a clothe cleaning wipe, it should get the dirt out. And the rips aren't that noticeable… they're mainly on your cuffs." Sasuke thanked her and made his way to the restroom. Sakura turned around to yell at Naruto but he had already engaged himself in a conversation with Shikamaru. Sakura shot him a glare and walked back to Ino.

"So where's Neji and Ten Ten?" Sakura said with a smile. She looked around the overly crowded room.

"Heh I told you before they're…" Ino about repeated but was cut off bye Ten Ten's squeal. Sakura and Ino looked at each other and ran towards the balcony where the squeal had come from. Sakura looked at the door and noticed it was locked. She peered through the glass doors and there stood Ten Ten in a pink Chinese styled long dress. Her face was bright red and her hand was out stretched towards the floor. Sakura followed Ten Ten's hand and there was Neji kneeling down on one knee.

"Oh My GOD!" Ino screamed. "EVERYONE GET OVER HERE NEJI DID IT! HE ACTUALLY…" Ino would have continued but she was at a loss of words.

"He… and she… he they… are," Sakura stumbled through her sentence. This was so out of character for the two of them. Neji being romantic? Ten Ten being girly? Who ever saw this coming deserved an award. Naruto peered out the window and snickered at the two, he thought it was hilarious. He'd never let Neji live this down.

Most of the contents of the room were now at the window watching the first stage of a marriage take place while some who were bored decided to sit and well… still be bored.

Shikamaru sighed and made his way to the snack table where Chouji seemed to be having a free for all. "Hey what's happening over there?" Chouji managed to get out through his mouth full of mashed potatoes.

"Eh Neji's getting hitched, too troublesome for me," Shikamaru said as he reached for a chip.

"Eh I can't imagine anyone getting married here, especially you and that Temari chick."

"I won't get married, way too annoying if you ask me," Shika told him.

"Heh you as a dad? Jeez what a mess would that be?"

"He'd end up as a lazy ass just like me."

"And you daughter would end up as a bad tempered child, heh I think it would be funny."

"Maybe, who cares right now we're 17, it's too troublesome to think about right now."

The party picked up when Neji and Ten Ten walked in and was barraged with questions, comments and concerns. Neji rolled his eyes and gave a death glare to anyone who decided to make fun of him and Ten Ten just ordered more wine for the night.

Sakura decided not to drink alcohol. She had remembered what she planned on doing that night, and good god she wasn't going to risk forgetting the whole night because of drinking… there was always new years anyway. Sakura had actually not seen Naruto for most of the night, they had had one dance and that was to a rock band that they were both in to but that was that last she saw of him.

Sasuke mostly talked to people or was found on the couch next to Shikamaru. Both looked bored. Sakura had tried to get Sasuke to dance with her but he refused, muttering something along the line of it being dumb. Ino had finally gotten Chouji to do something other than eat… he actually danced… and danced well at that. You wouldn't expect a … er… round person to be able to move the way he did but hey he danced like a dancing queen… king. Ten ten and Neji took on the dance floor every time there was a slow dance… even though they did look awkward at first. Sakura could already hear Ino yelling at Ten Ten to get ballroom dance lessons.

Basically all the old senseis were no where to be found but was last spotted playing a Christmas shot game. Kiba and Hinata both were not very good dancers at all so they mostly stood outside on the balcony under the stars and they stood silently hugging each other. The other ninja's were having a ball. Some took on the old carols and turned it into an open mic. karaoke session. Others were just, literally, rocking around the Christmas tree, no seriously they mamboed around the Christmas tree, the sober and the drunk alike started a Christmas mumbo line.

Sakura looked at the mess in the office and decided it wasn't all that bad compared to usual. She walked over to the couch where Sasuke and Shika sat. "Hey Sasuke have you seen Naruto?"

"Yea, He literally just left, he wouldn't tell me exactly why," Sasuke said as he stood up from the couch.

"Oh, well I'm about to head out," Sakura said, "Merry Christmas Sasuke-kun and umm here's your gift…" Sakura said as she reached into her large bag and pulled out a brightly wrapped gift.

"Um, thank you Sakura and Merry Christmas…" Sasuke said as he looked at the gift in his hands.

"heh don't worry it's not a love potion," Sakura said as she stuck out her tongue.

"Sure it isn't…" Sasuke replied trying to keep up with the joke. He slowly unwrapped the gift and peered into the container, which held the music box.

"Um… well it's a music box, I hope you like it," Sakura answered his stare nervously.

"What song is," he cut off as he opened the box and the tune ran out of the box and into his ears. His eyes were fixated on the box and it's meaning to him. He looked up at the pink haired girl who was still smiling nervously. "Thank you so much Sakura. You really are one of a kind… I'm sorry for what happened when we were kids," Sasuke wanted to continue but he decided to leave it at that. "Well Naruto probably needs his gift also don't you think. You know his Christmas gift."

"OH THAT'S RIGHT!" Sakura yelped as she ran out the door. "MERRY CHRISTMAS SASUKE-KUN." Sasuke gave a small smile… so the suffix still stayed.

Sakura sprinted down the street towards Naruto's neighborhood. She held the small box of a gift cradled in her hands. She gave a smile as she saw a spot of orange amidst the white out of snow. The figure wasn't moving either he was just standing there in the snow; just letting it fall over him. He was looking up at an old apartment building while gripping an object in his hands. Sakura slowed down and began to walk towards her blonde friend.

"Naruto! You left with out your…" Sakura cut herself off as she caught sight of what he was holding. They were the very same goggles as she had given the orphan many years' back. She knew there was no others like them because he grandfather had gotten them from a foreign nation like 50 years ago. Her eyes were wide and before she could think her mouth and fist spoke for her.

"YOU BASTARD HOW COULD YOU STEAL FROM AN ORPHAN!" Sakura yelled, always acting before thinking.

"Sakura-chan… OW!" Naruto said as he recoiled towards the ground while grasping his cheek.

"Why would you do that Naruto? I mean god I can't even imagine someone, who would, who could…" Sakura snapped as she began to breathe in heavy breaths.

"Sakura-Chan… you'll always be my friend no matter what," Naruto repeated as if he had always been saying this at heart, which he probably had. He stood up and stared the girl from blue eyes to green. They stood there for a while as the snow kept falling. Sakura's eyes widened and slowly moved towards the blonde.

"You're… I didn't," She took another step closer to the blonde. "Naruto… you're the…"

"Blonde haired kid with no name?" Naruto said with a small smile, "Yea that would be me."

Sakura looked him over again. "Naruto… I'm so sorry," Sakura whispered into his ear as she pulled him into a tight embrace. The snow danced around their bodies making them look almost angel like. They stood in the snow like that for a few moments and Sakura let go. She silently took the box and held it in front of the boy. The blonde took the small wrapped box and unveiled the jewelry box under the wrapping. He slowly lifted the lid and stared at it with watery eyes. His mouth tuned from a shocked "O" to a calm and peaceful smile. He looked up to his Sakura-chan and this time pulled her into the embrace. The snow danced around them once again and in the boy's hand held a locket, which read:

"Sakura and Naruto, best friends and trouble makers to the end"

And on the side was a picture of Sakura and Naruto standing next to each other holding the bells they had gotten from Kakashi-sensei.

And so the Christmas gift of that year was delivered but so many secret gifts were given. A Christmas gift is something out of the ordinary, something that connects you to a certain person in your life. Merry Christmas all and may all you Christmases be truely magical.
