Note-Ok…like I said above…I didn't write anything…but here's a lame attempt at a Christmas drabble…gah….TT

Ramen Bowl 12

"All right…," sighed Neji as he sat heavily down onto the red stool of the Ramen Bar, "Why are we all here?"

Sasuke, Neji, and Gaara all looked at Sakura, TenTen, and Temari expectantly.

"Well…," began Sakura with a twinkle at Sasuke, "Us three beautiful kunochis decided that…"

Sasuke snorted.

Sakura frowned a bit but continued, "that you three don't have any Christmas Spirit!"

"What?" Neji's eyes twitched.

Sasuke responded coldly, "Why should we have any Christmas Spirit?"

"What is this Christmas Spirit?" asked Gaara quietly, "Is it stronger than me?"

Everybody suddenly moved away from Gaara as a dark aura of killing intent surrounded him, with sand whirling around him rapidly.

"Er…" explained Temari quickly, "The Christmas Spirit isn't exactly killable Gaara…"

Gaara's dark eyes widened with madness, "So it is immortal? So it is stronger than me!"

"No!" shouted Temari with fear, "The Christmas Spirit lives within our hearts! That's what makes it immortal!"

Gaara's whirling sand of death and killing aura suddenly dissipated.

"What?" exclaimed Gaara with wide eyes, "In my…heart?"

Temari nodded her head slowly.

Gaara stood there silently with everybody else hiding behind Temari's back.

"Gaara?" questioned Temari carefully after a moment of silence.

"GRAH!"

"NO GAARA! NO!"

A few minutes later…

"All right…is everybody okay?" asked a panting Temari.

Everybody nodded with fear.

"Okay..." said Temari as she collapsed onto the ground next to Gaara who was cuddling a little stuffed teddy bear that was extremely old.

"Gaara has a teddy bear?" said Sasuke with a smirk.

Everybody glared at Sasuke, they didn't want to provoke Gaara as of right now. Sasuke shut up.

"Okay, back to our original point," sighed TenTen as she shook out some sand from her sandals.

"Yes, you three aren't accepting the Christmas Spirit into your hearts," Sakura said as she brushed off some sand from in her hair.

"I don't see how I can accept it…," Sasuke said darkly, "when my entire family was massacred by my brother!"

"Uh…well…can't you just forgive him for one day of the year?" smiled TenTen weakly.

"After I gut out his inner organs and than stuff them up his…"

"ALL RIGHT! How about you Neji!" cut in Sakura.

"It is impossible to accept the Christmas Spirit when the Main House is oppressing the Branch House! Do you know what we have to go through to even get a tree for ourselves!" roared Neji.

"Great…" sighed TenTen to Sakura, "There he goes off into another rant…"

"I had to beat down three people with my sandal and than work for that hooker on the street corner…"

"I thought we discussed something about Neji before we agreed to this whole thing," frowned Temari.

"Oops…" smiled Sakura weakly.

"Than Hinata's father came and stepped on it…"

Sasuke murmured to TenTen, "Does he ever stop about the whole relationship between the Main and Branch House?"

"Nope…," said TenTen grimly.

"I tried to take revenge for the Branch House by killing Hanabi but…"

"Wow…it's like watching Naruto, except with angst…," said Sakura.

"But than we made up afterwards and had some ice cream but I had to pay for it and that was that!" finished Neji with a huff.

Everybody was silent.

"Right…," Sasuke slowly.

"Okay…group huddle girls!" hollered Sakura. Sakura, TenTen, and Temari and ran off together and left the three boys there with each other.

"So…Gaara…about your teddy bear…"

Fifteen minutes later…..

The three girls game back to find Gaara dangling Sasuke upside down by the ankle and Neji having Gaara on the ground in a bear hug while Sasuke was performing the hand seals for his fire breath Jutsu.

All the while, the owner of the Ramen Bar and Ayame were hurriedly packing their valuables and getting ready to leave the Bar before anything got out of hand.

"MONKEYS!" screamed Temari with rage at the three tussling boys, "SIT OR ELSE NO BANANA!"

Five seconds later……

Sasuke, Neji, and Gaara sat there quietly listening to Temari talk while each nursed their own welting bump on the back of their heads.

"Us girls decided that not accepting the Christmas Spirit isn't the case right now, its that right now you three have too much angst!"

"And?" drawled Sasuke, "we deserve to angst after what's happened to us."

"Yeah," continued Neji, "you can't change who we are…."

The three girls fumed while Gaara sat there still wondering if the Christmas Spirit was killable.

"Woohoo! Ramen!" came a suddenly loud and obnoxious voice.

"Oh no…," sighed Sakura as she slapped her own forehead.

"Oh yes!" said Temari with a glint in her eyes.

"What?" exclaimed Sakura.

"Just wait…"

Naruto bounced up and down and left and right all over the street and landed right on an empty stool of the Ramen Bar without paying any attention to anybody there and began to order a bowl of Ramen.

"Five bowls of Curry…" began Naruto loudly.

"Wait! Naruto! I want to talk to you for a moment!" said Temari as she dragged Naruto away from the counter.

"Huh!"

Temari placed Naruto in front of Sasuke, Neji, and Gaara.

"Look you three, look at Naruto! He's somehow affected you three in one way or another during his lifetime. And don't even start Gaara!" snapped Temari as Gaara opened his mouth to say something.

"Naruto here has already changed you three. Look, he has so much energy! He has so much Christmas Spirit that its enough to feed a third-world country!" shouted Temari as she patted Naruto's head. Naruto sat there quietly as he wondered what was going on.

"Can't you just let him change you guys one more time?" said Temari as she smile gently at the three brooding boys. Sakura and TenTen followed suit.

Everybody was silent as they all stared at Naruto.

Naruto broke the silence as he looked up at Temari, "Hey…what's Christmas?"

"……………" Everybody stared at Naruto with intensity as they all sweatdropped.

"What!" shrieked all three of the girls, "How can you not know what Christmas is?"

"Well…I dunno. I just don't know…"

"But your vigor, your energy, you happiness!" shouted Temari.

"Um…that's just me…"

"But how?"

"I dunno…"

"Haven't you ever celebrated it with your family!"

Naruto's face became dark and his entire head dropped.

"Naruto?" asked Sakura worriedly.

Naruto's head suddenly bounced back up with a wide smile but with extremely red eyes.

"Nope!" cheered Naruto, "I've never even met my family before! So I wouldn't know anything about it!"

Naruto suddenly stood up and ran off down the street.

Everybody was silent.

"Wow…," said TenTen quietly," I never knew…"

"Yeah…talk about toughness…," said Temari.

"…….." Sakura was quiet in shame.

Neji worked over something things out in his mind. He suddenly burst out, "Oh my Kami! He has more angst than all three of us!"

"Your right!" said Sasuke with wide eyes, "All this time he's never even known his family or even celebrated Christmas! We've at least known our family at least once!"

"Yes…all that pent up angst and rage will one day burst out from him and he'll go on a homidal rampage, "contemplated Gaara quietly.

Everybody stared at Gaara with wide eyes, but Gaara sat there silently and calmly.

"Um…right…we'll take your word for it," said TenTen slowly.

"So…..," Sakura was at lost for words.

"You three should go help Naruto…he needs it more than us, at least we've experienced some form of love from people, " Neji said curtly.

"You're right," said Sakura shamefully, "We'll go celebrate Christmas right now with Naruto! Let's go girls!"

With that, all three kunoichis rushed off in the direction of where Naruto ran off of.

The three young ninjas sat there silently as they all silently contemplated over what has just happened.

"Wow…that was really a waste of time…" said Sasuke.

"Yes…yes it was…," Neji continued.

"Let's finish what we started…"

With that, all three boys got into a tussle of who should have Naruto's undying love.

Just kidding.

They all got into a big brawl over who had more angst over whom.

THE END
