Disclaimer: I do not own 'Naruto' or any of the lyrics that I have decided to use on this fiction.

I've created this fiction when I stumble upon an old friend and reminded on something that I thought of would be great to write.

I hope you all enjoy this!

A Kiss For the Holiday

It was the 22nd of December and just 3 days before Christmas. Of course, everyone have the next three days off for the holiday but only the Jounins and Anbu's gotten the rest of the month off.

'At least I've gotten all of my shopping's done,' Sakura smiled as she walked down the busy street, 'Everyone is so busy…'

And it was, the village would still be busy until the day before the big day.

'It was not this happy a few years back,' Sakura thought as she passed a few shops, '… during battles and attacks, people were just too concerned and frightened but now…'

'It's peaceful…'

Then at that moment, something caught Sakura's eyes. It was a jewelry proudly displayed on the window, which was also something unique and rare.

'How pretty…' Sakura examine the piece, 'It's so detailed and well made…'

It was a butterfly craved necklace with tiny little diamonds on its wings, the heart shape rubies and swirling trail of tiny emeralds made it look grand and expensive.

Sakura gave the price tag a glace, which sighed sadly, '… the price is also detailed'

Straighten up; she took one last glance of the necklace before walking away.

'Maybe someday,' Sakura thought hopefully, 'When I save up enough for my self, maybe I could treat my self to something that pretty…'

But saying those words didn't convinced her when in the back of her mind wanted that pretty little butterfly necklace.

' Maybe we oath to get our selves a rich boyfriend?' Her inner voice suggests.

' It was so nice when you're not butting in on my thoughts' Sakura slightly frowned.

His inner self laugh.

'Tsk! Sakura, you won't find your self a good looking boyfriend if you keep that up,' her inner voice began, '… your going to end up alone…'

'Is that what you want?'

Sakura sighed deeply at this and hung her head, 'Can we change the subject…'

'I don't feel like talking about that right now…'

'Ok, then why don't we talk about a certain silver haired hottie?' her inner voice held a bit of teased on that sentence, 'He looked hot under that jounin uniform of his… didn't you think so?'

That statement cut Sakura off guard and almost lost her balance at that point but was able to regain her composer just as quick.

'What the hell are you getting at?' Sakura snapped, 'Kakashi is my friend and my former teacher!'

'We can't think of him as that!'

'Oh? So why were you so distracted and nervous when he was with us at dinner?' her inner voice taunt, 'There was a sudden changed in you towards the silver hottie after the talk with the girls…'

'Damn those girls!' Sakura cursed, 'It's there fault that I have these thoughts about Kakashi when I shouldn't!'

'Really? What's so bad about Kakashi? Beside that he reads those perverted books?' her inner voice asked.

Sakura thought for a long period of time of how to answer that but got nothing.

Kakashi was Kakashi and he was her former teacher and now comrade at arms during missions. Her friend that stood by her side for a great number of year after Sasuke have left them long ago until now, he was always there for her.

'His a sweetheart when his not reading that damn forsaken book of his,' Sakura started to say, 'But don't you think it's a bit odd for a former student liking her former teacher?'

'What about the age difference? Won't people talk?'

'Since when did age stop a ninja from being together?' the voice asked, 'Come on, Kakashi got style and being the way he is… I won't be surprise if his a master in bed…'

This almost made Sakura drop her bag if she wasn't paying attention but she was and it saved her from going to the store to replace anything she have damaged.

'WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING?' Sakura yelled, 'HOW COULD YOU THINK LIKE THAT ABOUT KAKASHI!'

'Have you EVER notice his body? It's damn sexy and sculpt!' her inner voice calmly answered, 'His a man with many talent beside his jutsu's…'

Sakura couldn't believe what her inner self is doing to her, giving her mental images of Kakashi going for her in matters that she never have thought before.

'I mean, after Sasuke… Have you gotten with anyone? No!' her inner self pointed out, '… your 22 years old and still a virgin! How long are you planning on staying that way?'

'Until I find someone that I love and to spend the rest of my life with…' Sakura firmly answered, 'Now if you excuse me! I have better things to think about without you disturbing me!'

'Fine but next time you get a chance to be alone with that hot ex-teacher of yours,' her inner self warned, 'You better make a move or I'll hunt you every single waking moment!'

Then it was gone, Sakura was left to her own thoughts without being bothered but something inside her that sprung. And she was not sure what to do with it.

-

Kakashi have been watching her since she have gotten out of her apartment very early that morning, which he chuckled lightly when she have rushed towards each stores before anyone else got there.

'Beautiful…' He admit to himself, '… a woman like that should be kept free and untouched…'

'She deserve to be herself and not be prison by any men…'

He has taken a deep breath as he continues to watch her.

'She deserved better…' He sadly said.

It was a strange feeling that his following Sakura around town for the past 3 hours and he wasn't sure if he should show him self to her or keep on hiding.

Running a hand through his hair, he grunted.

'This feels so wrong in so many way…' He sighed, 'I shouldn't be tailing my ex-student and not to mention 'friend' like this…'

'Hell, I don't even know why I'm doing this!'

The feeling was odd and he has never felt it before. He wasn't sure what it was either but he knew it got something to do with the certain pink haired kunoichi.

'Sakura,' He began thinking, 'What are you to me…?'

Kakashi have thought about this a lot, and he has listed them.

Beside Sakura being his former student, she was the only person on team 7 who didn't leave. Both have supported each other, they talked about many things, they have gotten the chance to get to know each other better and during those years, they began to get close.

'… I'm not sure anymore' Kakashi thought as he continued to watch the girl.

Sakura was sweet, a talented ninja and any man in Kohona would be lucky enough to have her. She was also, with Gai's comments, is desired by a great number of men.

Kakashi chuckled at this, 'Who wouldn't…?'

His eyes caught a smile spread on the girls face as she has finally finished with her shopping.

Then he saw it, it was something that gotten the kunoichi's attention. She have leaned over the window display of a jewelry store and eyed a certain item.

A necklace.

Kakashi raised an eyebrow as Sakura examine it but when her gentle smile vanished, he knew what was up.

'Must be the tag price' Kakashi grinned under his mask.

When Sakura took one last look on the necklace, she walked off.

Kakashi took the moment of leaving his hiding place and jumped over in front of the shop.

It wasn't hard to spot of which item was Sakura was checking out. The item was very rare looking and delicate.

'Just like her…' He thought.

He eyed the piece and then straightens his back. Disappearing from where he was, he returned on tailing Sakura.

She wasn't hard to find since it her hair was very unusual to anyone else but who cares about that? At that point, Sakura was entering her house but Kakashi have plans of his own that day.

He have thought of it while he was laying on his bed thinking, a smile crept to his hidden lips as he found himself before Sakura's door.

He knocked.

"Coming!" Her voice answered, "Who is it?"

"A man who would like to ask you out for dinner tomorrow night!" Kakashi grinned, 'Going with the flow…'

He heard running footsteps and shuffling coming from the apartment, a slight frown and concern when he heard her 'ow' inside.

"Sakura? Are you alright?" Kakashi turned the knob of the door and found it open, "You should lock your door! I'm coming in!"

And he did just that, when he opened the door and stepping inside. The pink haired kunoichi was nowhere to be found.

"Sakura? Where are you?" Kakashi heard running footstep from upstairs as he sigh and sat down on the sofa.

Sakura emerged from the stairs after 5mins looking flushed.

"Sorry, I just didn't want you to see the presents and I had them laid out on the kitchen," Sakura giggled, "I didn't want you to see your present"

Kakashi grinned; she has gotten him a present, which it wasn't new. For the past few years, they have exchanged gifts with each other.

"Oh? Can I have a hint of what it is?" Kakashi smirked under his masked.

"No" Sakura answered plainly.

Kakashi took the moment of looking hurt, "Oh? Why not?"

"Because the last time I've given you a hint, you figured it out before Christmas!" Sakura pointed out, "So, no hint for you this year!"

The silver haired ninja couldn't help but laugh at this, which was true. He did guessed what Sakura have gotten him last Christmas.

"Ok, ok… I won't pursue on it," Kakashi began, "But anyway, I'm here to ask you out on a date…"

Sakura was glad that she has sat down or she would have falling over.

"A date?" Sakura blinked at the man, "You serious?"

Kakashi pout, "What? Do I look that old to ask you out on a date?"

The girl shook her head 'no' and eyed him.

"Your not old Kakashi, your only 36 years old! That's not even considered old in my category!" Sakura pointed out, "You could even be my boyfriend!"

Sakura gasped as she covered her mouth, wishing that Kakashi was heard her but since it was Kakashi, she knew that he did.

Kakashi was taken back as he heard the last part of her sentences; he was having a tough time trying to calm his hearth from bursting out.

"Really? You even consider me as your boyfriend?" Kakashi's voice hold a hint of amusement and teased, "Won't your admires kill me if I've taken away their light and joy?"

He watched her slightly opened her mouth and lick her lips and the faint blush on her cheeks didn't help her hide that she embarrassed.

"T-they mean… n-nothing to me Kakashi," Sakura was stuttering, rare reactions from someone who haven't act like a lovesick girl in years, "Beside, you were asking me out on a date, which I'm accepting!"

If anything, Kakashi would have gotten up and take her into his arms but he hold himself down.

"Great! I'll make an effort and I'll pick you up at 7:00 tomorrow" He said, "I'll see you later!"

With that, he was gone in a puff of smoke, leaving the shock pink haired girl.

Kakashi reappeared just on the roof and squatted down. He was surprise of the kind of reaction he has received from Sakura, he didn't expect that but either way, it made his hearth jumped and race a thousand miles.

He decided to get for a drink for job well done.

"Hey, Kakashi! Sake?" the bartender asked as the jounin stepped inside the pub.

"Yeah, and some tempura…" Kakashi said as he seated himself beside Asuma with Gai and Hatake.

"My eternal rival! What's with the glow?" Gai began.

"What are you talking about?" Kakashi raised an eyebrow.

"Your glowing man," Asuma pointed out, "Your whole body language shows it… Did you get lucky last night or something?"

Kakashi chuckled at this, "No, but I did ask a certain kunoichi who is 'desired by all men in Kohona' out on a date tomorrow night…"

Gai have dropped his sake cup, Asuma's eyes was popping out from it sockets and Hatake almost choked on his drink.

"WHAT?" All three men said.

"No way," Asuma was shocked, "You asked 'her' out on a date?"

"Yes, I did," Kakashi answered, "Just 5 minutes ago…"

"My eternal rival has gotten himself a woman!" Gai began, "A beautiful flower of Kohona no less!"

Hatake was still in shock to say anything but he knew what certain kunoichi he was implying to.

Then he pulled himself out of shock, "No way, you asked Sakura out on a date?"

Kakashi just nodded and thanked the bartender.

"What happened to the age different and all that talk yesterday?" Asuma asked.

Kakashi just smiled, "We're ninjas, numbers don't mean shit to us…"

Hatake patted his back, "Man, you got there before I do? That's sad, really sad…"

Hatake had also have his eyes on the pink kunoichi for quite sometime but always chickened out.

"I wanted to take her to the Christmas Party Tsunade-sama have pulled together tomorrow…" Hatake said.

"A party?" Kakashi said, "I didn't hear any of that…"

"Of course not," Gai answered, "She just thought of it today and she's rushing everything out right now! Before 7p.m tomorrow, everyone will know about it! It's held in the center of town…"

With this, Kakashi got another idea. He smiled and then nodded.

"Thanks, now I have another idea where to take my date tomorrow night…"

The three ninjas eyed him.

"Where were you taken her?" Asuma asked.

"A nice dinner, dancing and then a little drink or so…" Kakashi answered, "And a little walk in the snow…"

"Anyway, I better get things together for tomorrow! Later!"

He has paid the bartender, leaving the 3 surprised ninjas.

Asuma laughed, "Who ever knew Kakashi can be romantic?"

"My eternal rival has beaten me more than ever!" Gai sighed, "But at least he won't be alone anymore…"

Hatake didn't say a word but agreed with Gai. For as long as they remembered, Kakashi was always mysterious and kept things to himself, always alone and keeping distance to anyone.

"At least now," Asuma began, "He would open up a bit…"

The other two agreed silently as they drank their sake, giving a silent good luck on their silver haired friend.

-

It was around 8pm when Sakura have gotten some visitors.

"WHAT?" Ino, Tenten and Hinata yelled in shocked.

They just came over to visit Sakura and the kunoichi have told them everything.

"Oh my goodness!" Hinata blushed, "T-that's… oh my…"

"You go girl!" Tenten patted her in the back; "You did more than dinner last night if he decided to take you out!"

Sakura couldn't say anything but bit her lower lip, she have to admit, she was curious.

"I don't know," She started, "Maybe it's another way of saying 'thank you; to someone who made you dinner? Or something like that…"

"Hell no," Ino frowned, "A man like Kakashi can't be that low… Beside that he reads those perverted books, his much more of a man than a dog…"

"And don't get me started! It has nothing to do of his pack of pets!"

All the girls giggled.

"That's wonderful Sakura!" Hinata took Sakura's hand, "I'm so happy for you!"

Sakura blushed, "Wait, wait, wait! Wait just one second Hinata!"

"It's not like he 'asked' me to be his girlfriend!"

Ino grinned, "… yet"

Sakura turned totally crimsoned, "Don't say that Ino…"

"I mean, I just don't know what to think or feel right now…"

The girls looked at her and each have a soft smile on their faces.

Tenten patted Sakura's head, "You'll be fine… just don't think too much and go with the flow!"

Sakura blinked but nodded, "Your right…"

"Anyway, it's getting late…" Ino began, "Have a good night sleep Sakura and don't think too much…"

Sakura smiled, "ok…"

The girls said their goodbyes and left, leaving the more confuse pink kunoichi.

'Don't think about it…' She said to her self, 'But how can I?'

She has taken a bath but her mind was still thinking about a certain ninja.

'I can't believe this,' She turned red again and it wasn't because of the hot water, '…Kakashi, what are you doing?'

By the time she went to bed, her mind was not at peace. She couldn't sleep.

"Damn it…" She cursed, "I better get some sleep or I'll be cranky tomorrow…"

There was a knock on her window that made her jumped up into fighting position.

"Who's there?" She snapped.

The familiar voice came, "I come in peace?"

Sakura blinked, "Kakashi?"

"Yeah, its me…" Kakashi answered.

Sakura quickly opened the window of her bedroom and there he was. Dressed all in black along with his mask and headband covering his sharingan eye.

"Kakashi, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?" She has moved away from the window to let him in.

Kakashi grinned under his mask, "I just came to ease your mind…"

The pink haired girl blinked, "Ease my mind?"

"Yes," Kakashi took a few steps forward, "I have asked you on a date for a reason and I wish you to be patient…"

Sakura couldn't say a word so she just nodded for understanding.

"Good girl," He said, "Now, why don't you close your eyes…"

"Huh?" Sakura stared, "Why?"

"Just do it Sakura," Kakashi smiled, "I want to give your first holiday gift since you gave me mine yesterday…"

'Huh? Yesterday?' Sakura thought and then it came to her, "Oh, the dinner? It was nothing!"

"Sakura, just close your eyes…" Kakashi asked again.

Sakura looked at him suspiciously but obeyed anyway, "Alright…"

Then she did, she closed her eyes. She waited and just then, she heard the sound of rustling cloth.

'What's going on?' She bit her lower lip, "Kakashi? What are you…?"

Then she felt it, a soft contact. A warm sensation filled her body, a moment of.

'Wait…' Her mind was racing, 'This is…'

'Kakashi's lip!'

Then she felt him pulled away.

"Goodnight Sakura," Kakashi kissed her forehead, "Sweet dreams…"

By the time she opened his eyes, he was gone closing the window behind him.

Sakura felt warm all over, she have never felt anything like it.

'His lips,' Sakura touched her pink lips, '… it was gentle'

Sakura's lips let out a giggle, "Oh my gosh…"

It wasn't much of a thought after that. Sakura have drifted into a sweet dream and couldn't wait for morning.
