I was gonna write Naruko and Kaito's show but since it's Christmas time I decided to write this first. I wll introduce the characters family like Minako and Kushi. That's the names to genderbent MinaKushi. I will also have genderbent Cloti, Rokunami among others.
Christmastime. The one time of year where people get together. But this year is different for the Haruno family. Even though they invited their parents for their Christmas party like they always do, this is year they also invited their neighbors the Lockhart family was well. Not only that but their parents as well as Sora's sisters and brother in law. Sakuro's parents, however are on a Christmas cruise after winning it on a game show. At first they were reluctant but Sakuro insisted that they go on their once in a lifetime cruise. After finishing their show, Naruko and Kaito met both of their spouses who were taking off for their Christmas Vacation. They spent 1 hour and 30 minutes on their Christmas shopping. Once they were finished Naruko checked the time. It was Noon.
"Oh my God. I gotta get home and finish the turkey." She exclaimed. Sora checked the time too.
"Yeah, and I gotta wrap my present that I'm gonna give." She said.
"Okay... so, remember. The party starts at 7:00. Once we're all here, we'll have dinner then we open our gifts." Sakuro confirmed.
"Got it." Sora nodded as the Harunos and Lockhearts go their seperate ways. Lucky for Naruko that her parents will pick up the kids on their way from Eastern Kentucky. Once Naruko and Sakuro made it to their house, They get go to the kitchen to prepare for dinner. Naruko puts the turkey in the oven then while Sakuro put the green beans in the pans. He also put the gravy in another pan and finally the corn. After an hour, Naruko checked the clock. It was 3:00 the turkey should be done soon. She goes to her husband who is relaxing in the living room, watching Christmas Vacation.
"I'm gonna take a shower, honey then I'm gonna put on my clothes. If I'm not back in an hour, please get the turkey out."
"Okay, honey." Sakuro smiled. Naruko pecked his lips then walked upstairs to their bathroom and takes a long shower. After her shower. She dried herself. She puts on her long sleeved heel length red dress with a Santa belt. She also had stocking earrings. After putting on some makeup, she walks downstairs to see her husband setting the food on table. She hugs him from behind. Sakuro smiled and turns around and gasps at her appearance.
"Wow... Naruko. You look so beautiful." He said to his wife. Naruko giggled and kissed his cheek.
"Thank you. You look so handsome yourself." He grinned and pulled her closer to give her a passionate kiss. They kiss until they hear the doorbell ring. Naruko breaks the kiss and walks to open the door. Naruko grinned at the new guests. It was Four people. Two of them were her two children. She kneed down and hugged them. Shinra relucantly hugged her back but Hana hugged with enthusiasm.
"Hi, Sweetie. Mommy missed you both." The little boy grinned and hugged his mother back. Like his best friend Jou, they are both mama's boys.
"I missed you too, Mommy. Is Jou coming over?" He asked.
"Uh-huh." Naruko confirmed. "But now you and your sister gotta get dressed nice for the party." Both kids nodded and rused upstairs.
"Mom, Dad!" She hugs her mother Minako Uzumaki. Like Naruko, she has blond hair and wears a ponytail. Only the difference is her eyes are green and doesn't have the marks on her face. She is wearing a green sweater and blue jeans. The man beside her is her husband Kushino. He was wearing a Red T-Shirt and blue pants. He is holding a bunch of gifts. She released her mother then hugged her father.
"Hi, Dad." She greeted. Kushino chuckled as he puts one of his gifts from one hand to another. He uses his free hand to hug his daughter.
"Hey, my little fox. How are you doing?"
"Great, won't you come in? Dinner's almost ready." She said. They both nodded and followed their daughter home. Kushino put the presents under the tree then sat on the couch with his wife joining him. Sakuro walks to his mother-in-law and hugs her. After that, he walks to his father-in-law and joins him on the couch.
"So, what time is the party?" Asked Kushino.
"It should start in about an couple hours." Sakuro answered. "Our neighbors the Lockharts should be here soon."
"Oh yeah." Kushino remembered. "Kaito Lockhart, your co-host is also your neighbor. I watch your show everyday. Especially since I retired." Kushino worked at the Grocery store for 30 years. Minako was a News Reporter until her retirement last year. Now They both retired after Hana was born because They wants to spend time with their two grandchildren. They sat in the living room and talked for a few moments until they heard the doorbell ring. Naruko runs to get it. She opens it to see the next guest. She smiled at the person in front. It was Sora, Kaito, their kids and 8 more people. Sora was wearing a green dress with Santa's face on her torso.
"Hey, Sora. Glad you're here." The brunette woman smiled.
"Thanks, I hope we're not too late." Naruko brushed it off.
"Oh no, you've made it just in time. Come on in guys." She leads the guests inside. Once they made it in, Naruko noticed the other guests as Sora introduced them.
"Naruko." Sora began as she was put her arms on an older spiky black haired woman's shoulder. She is wearing a Grinch shirt and blue jeans. And another on a man with braided hair.
"These are my parents Areis and Zakki Gainsborugh."
"Nice to meet you." She grinned. A black haired man offered his and shook Kushino's hand. He has long hair that was tied to a bun.
"Hello, I am Typhos Lockhart. This is my wife Cloudia." The woman with spiky blonde hair waved hi. She was wearing a sweater of Clark Griswold with his Santa hat.
"Hi." The woman Cloudia greeted. Minako grinned and shook the other blonde woman's hand. She then looks at two similar looking women, only one has a braided short tail, wearing a white shirt and black mini skirt. The other has similar spiky hair to Cloud's. She's wearing a Home Alone shirt with Kevin putting his hands on his cheeks. The pony tailed woman has her arms connected with a tall man with bright blonde hair and a loose pony-tail. And finally, standing besides Yoshi and Jou is two other children. One appears to be a two year old girl wearing a green dress and a white headband. The other is a 13 year old boy with a small spiky brown hair who is wearing a collard shirt with Khaki pants.
"Guys." Sora said. "I like to introduce you to my older sister Venus." She said, referring to the spiky haired one. "And that boy there is her son Ren." The boy and his mother gave Naruko a wave.
"And my sister Roxy and her husband Namanine."
"Hi." Roxy greeted. "Sora told me all about you so I was looking forward to meeting you."
"Nice to meet you guys, too." Naruko smiled. "Shinra and Hana will be down any minute." And right on cue, Hana came rushing down to his best friend Jou. They both gave each other a fist bump which made both of their mothers giggle.
"Hana, Sweetie." Naruko said. "Why don't you take Jou and Ren to the game room? We have almost everything. Nintendo switch, PS4, Board games Including Christmas themed ones." All of the kids beamed.
"Thanks mom." Hana said as he led all of the kids except for Yoshi. Sora was the only one to notice that he was still here.
"Yoshi, honey. Why didn't you join?" Yoshi gave his mother a slight blush.
"Uh... I was waiting for Shinra to come down." He answered.
Both mothers smirked at him. He may not admit it yet but he is developing a crush on the young Haruno. They've been friends since the Lockharts moved here 4 months ago. Speaking of which, It's been 5 minutes since Hana and the other kids left so Naruko called up.
"Shinra! Yoshi is here. Come on down." She called to her daughter.
"Coming, Mom!" Shinra replied. As soon as she came down, Yoshi's jaw dropped. Shinra is walking down wearing a red long sleeve t-shirt with black pants and black shoes. She stands in front of her best friend.
"Um... Hi, Yoshi." Shinra said.
"H-hi." He stuttered. Naruko and Sora just couldn't stop grinning. Shinra came to her senses and leads her friend downstairs.
Twenty minutes later
Once she put all of the food on the table, Naruko called for the guests to come to the dining room. Once everyone settled in the table. Naruko tapped her glass to gain everyone's attention.
"All right, since it's my parents 40th Christmas together, why don't my dad say grace?"
"Grace?" Kushino said. "She passed away thirty years ago." That made everyone laugh. Once the laugh died, everyone closes their eyes and held hands. As Kushino starts the prayer.
"Dear Heavenly father, we thank you for this meal, we ask you to help nourish our bodies. We thank you for the Christmas season. We thank you for all the things we give and receive. We ask you to bless you that have a less fortunate Christmas than we do. I thank you for my family like my beautiful wife, daughter, son-in law grandchildren. I am also thankful for our new friends the Lockharts and the Gainsborughs. We ask you to bless those that are in need of you in his name we pray, Amen."
"Amen." Everyone coursed amen then they dug in. After dinner, Sakuro and Kaito leads the men and children to the living room while the women finished cleaning the kitchen.
"So, Roxy, what do you do for a a living?" Asked Naruko who finished washing the silverware while handing them to her mother.
"Well... I own my own ice cream parlor. I ran it for 5 years and is still going strong." Roxy said as she put the plates up.
"She makes the best ice cream." Sora bragged. "You should try it sometime." Naruko smiled.
"All right, If I ever come to your town, the first thing I would do is eat that ice cream. Venus what about you?" The older sister smiled.
"I am a Karate teacher. I work at a Dojo in Orlando."
"That's awesome."
"I've been a black belt teacher for 10 years. The first person I beat was my ex-husband." Naruko quirked an eyebrow but Venus waved it off.
"Long story short... he was a douche so we divorced three years ago." Naruko nodded as she changed the subject.
"Every Christmas since Sakuro and I got married, we always go to the Lexington soup kitchen and help the needy. We also gave out presents from the company. My boss loves giving out to those who are in need so this year, Kaito, Sakuro, Sora and the kids and I are going to televise our soup kitchen and have a segment for next week's show."
"Aww." Venus cooed. "That's very sweet of you guys to do that." Naruko thanked her in kind. After they finished with the dishwasher, the ladies joined their husbands at the living room. They all played Christmas charades where they have Christmas movie themes and Naruko and Sora were the best at it.
"All right..." Sakuro started. "Guess this movie." He took off his foot and pretended to stomp on sharp objects then he pretended to be electricuded. Naruko rolled her eyes.
"It's Home Alone 2." He gave her a somber look.
"How do you do it?" He asked. "I thought for sure you would say "Home Alone."
"Because I've been watching these movies, silly." Naruko giggled and kissed her husband's cheek. Everyone laughed at Sakuro's foolishness before Sora looked at the clock.
"Oh,look at the time, It's time to go." Naruko checked the clock to see that she was right. It was 8:30. Sora opened the game room door to call hers and her sister's children.
"Kids, it's time to go back home." The kids groaned but they didn't waste time as they all rushed upstairs. As they were getting ready, Yoshi stands beside Shinra.
"Well, Shinra, I had fun tonight. I hope next week, I get the Nintendo Switch and the new Zelda game and since you're the best Zelda player... I was wondering if..." Shinra put her hand on Yoshi's.
"I would be happy to help." Yoshi smiled. They heard someone cleared her voice. They looked up to see it was Yoshi's mother that wanted their attention. She pointed up the ceiling. They blush to see the mistletoe on top. Shinra giggled nervously.
"Well... It's like my grandma said "You can't break tradition." Both kids slowly touched lips, earning cooes and awws from the adults except for Sakuro. After 20 seconds they pulled back. They couldn't say anything, so Yoshi waved goodbye to his friend and followed his parents. Sora couldn't stop smirking at her son. She waves goodbye to her neighbor and leads her sisters back to her house. Shinra didn't say anything, she was still in awe of the kiss. Sakuro sighed. He didn't like seeing his daughter's first kiss. Sure Yoshi was a good kid but Shinra was still his baby girl.
"Oh great, I didn't want to give him the rules just yet."
"Oh, relax honey. It'll be five years before you interrogate him. Let them be kids right now." Sakuro sighed and put his arm around his wife's shoulders.
"You're right, babe... you know this was a great Christmas. I'm glad we had this party. And I also love our neighbors."
"Yes." She nodded as she rested her head on her husband's shoulder. Sakuro pulled her head as the stared at each other. They leaned in for a kiss. They weren't under the mistletoe. It was just something they like to do every day.
And that's the end of the Christmas one-shot. Hope you enjoy it and hope you have a Merry Christmas, everybody.
