Huh, I didn't think that many people would review this, but that's cool. Thanks! And boy does time fly. But I've finally gotten around to updating this. I know it's kinda short too, so I'm sorry about that. Enjoy.

"The jig is up, the news is out, they finally found me! The renegade who had it made, a treat for a bounty"

"Kankuro, turn that down! Santa does not turn the stereo up to 10!" Temari screamed. Kankuro grimaced and turned the stereo down.

"Geez, I'm just having a little fun. Killjoy."

"I am not a killjoy. I'm just saying that we don't really need people noticing us. Right Gaara?" Temari asked, turning to Gaara.

Gaara was fuming. The elf suit was freaking adorable, and he wanted no part of it. Those p.j.s he had on earlier were bad enough, but now this? To much cute for an evil sand ninja. Gaara eventually noticed that Temari was talking to him.

"Temari, I don't care." he stated, not really knowing what she asked. Gaara began rooting through the presents, seeing what other 'nicer' kids had received.

"Oh, I wanna see too!" Kankuro said, jumping into the back with his siblings. Temari sighed again, but resigned herself to looking. After a few minutes of looting and deciding that some particular person didn't really deserve their particular present, Gaara noticed something.

"Kankuro, if you're back here with us, who's driving?"

Realization dawned on Kankuro's face.

"Oh dear."

"TREE!" Temari yelled. Kankuro dove to the front and yanked up on the controls. They barely cleared the thing, scraping the underside of the carriage. Everyone on board panted.

"Kankuro, stay up there." Gaara ordered. Kankuro nodded.

After a few more minutes of flying (and a narrow miss involving a very startled owl) the trio were hovering over the snowy village of Konoha.

"Aw, it looks just like a snow globe!" Temari smiled.

"I hate snow globes." Gaara pouted.

"Okay, first on the list is Aburame Shino." Kankuro checked.

"Isn't he that bug guy you were supposed to fight and yet wound up fighting anyway in the chuunin exam?" Temari asked. "Wasn't he pissed at you for that?"

"Yeah, he kinda almost killed me. I don't think he's gotten over it."

"Lets just go." Gaara prompted. The three flew to the Aburame household, and landed softly on the roof. They grabbed the sack, and shuffled their way to the chimney.

"Santa goes first!" Temari chuckled.

"Ha ha." Kankuro sneered. He jumped into the chimney, and landed uncomfortably on one of the logs below.

"MOTHER..." he managed to catch himself, and put his hand over his mouth. Kankuro scuttled out of the way of Temari and Gaara, who silently followed. They stalked into the living room, and started rooting through the bag to find the appropriate presents.

"Here's one for Shibi, one for...Winona?" Temari wondered.

"Mom I'm guessing?" Kankuro shrugged. "Where's Gaara?"

Gaara was currently rummaging through the Aburame fridge, trying to find something edible.

"Gaara! What are you doing?" Temari hissed.

"Eating." He simply put, snatching a piece of ham out of the fridge.

"We can't steal!" Temari whispered, but was silenced by Gaara's trademark 'I'm going to kill you if you don't shut the hell up' stare. Temari hoped that the Aburame's wouldn't miss that ham too much.

Kankuro put the last present under the tree and was about to call the others when the lights flicked on. He heard slow clapping and turned around to see Shino in the chair.

"Hello Kankuro."

"Shino!"

"Nothing escapes you, does it?"

"How long have you been there?"

"A while. Now perish."

Kankuro shielded his head in preparation of getting chewed to death by bugs. But a blast of sand stopped the insects. Shino and Gaara stared at each other, badassness permeating through the room. They both decided it wasn't worth it, since Gaara would get bugs in his sand, and Shino would get sand on his bugs.

"I'll get you later." Shino threatened Kankuro. Everyone ('cept Gaara) breathed a sigh of relief.

"Great, now someone saw me in this ridiculous outfit." Gaara scowled when Shino went back to his room to get some much needed sleep

"Yeah he didn't seem to bothered by the fact that we are playing the part of Santa..." Kankuro noticed

"I wouldn't worry about it too much Gaara, I'm pretty sure he doesn't talk much. I think your secret is safe." Temari added.

A few minutes later the presents were all set up, and they were ready to go. The three stared at the chimney.

"So...do you guys know how to get up a chimney?" Kankuro asked.

"Do I look like a chimney sweep?" Temari replied. Gaara then pushed Kankuro forward.

"Start climbing."

Kankuro scrambled up, Temari following, and Gaara taking up the rear. It was a tricky and dark climb. Suddenly, Kankuro felt something crawl across his hand.

"Blah!" he wailed, letting go of his hold. He crashed down on top of Temari, and she subsequently hit Gaara. They smashed into the log again.

"Get you ass out of my face NOW!" Temari yelled. Kankuro swore he heard Shino chuckling in the other room. Gaara silently fumed, and climbed up the chimney himself.

Well that does it for the first house! Who will they visit next?

Hopefully I'll update sooner. But who knows? See you around.
