Author's note - Congradulations to this story on finally hitting 100 reviews! (Currently as I write this author's notes we have 106) I was hoping that my closest reader Crazed15yearold would be the one to give me my 100th, but we can't all get what we want, so I thank Misa-Misa for my 100th!

Christmas was the one Holiday I hated most of all. The streets where more crowded, people began to pick out their gifts for their loved ones which would then be later in a closet gathering dust. And it was just another excuse to have a break from work and training. My Sensei had insisted that we did something called a "Secret Santa" where we'd give a gift to someone without them knowing. It was pointless and there was only four of us, it was going to be obvious who the 'Santa' was.

"Alright, Neji, pull a name from the bag!" Gai-Sensei help out a small paper bag with four names in it.

I reached into the bag and pulled out the first piece of paper that connected with my skin. Pulling it out and reading the name, I knew the gift I needed to buy would be complicated yet easy at the same time. Tenten.

As the others went up and pulled out their names, I racked through my mind on what to give Tenten. Weapons was such an obvious things, but there was always that bitterness I would receive from her if I gave her one that she already had. There was always the question of giving her makeup, but then again, did Tenten even wear makeup? I was growing frustrated on thinking about what I should give her. I knew giving something to Gai-Sensei or Lee would be simple, but Tenten...

"This is going to be exciting!" Tenten whispered in my ear, placing the piece of paper that held the name of the person she was supposed to give a gift too into her pocket. "I can't wait to see what my Secret Santa gets me." She then giggled as if she already knew what she was getting.

After training I decided to get the shopping over with. The sooner I was done shopping for her, the better. Roaming the shops in Konoha wasn't as easy as he thought it would be. Walking into weapon store after weapon store I found no luck in finding what I wanted to get her. Shopping for her was going to be harder then I thought it would be. I decided to then skip the weapons and move into more 'girly' items that she would probably enjoy. I wasn't finding any luck with makeup either. Besides, I didn't want to get her the 'wrong' color. As I made my way into the next store, an clothing store full of exotic clothing from all around the world, I then ran into Tenten.

"Hi, Neji." She said, setting down the pair of silk shoes she was looking at. "What are you doing here?"

"Shopping..."

"Oh, family?"

"In a way..."

Her brows tilted into a confused look. "Alright...have you bought anything for the Secret Santa mission Gai-Sensei gave us?"

I shook my head slightly. "The person I have is harder to buy for then I thought."

She laughed. "Same! I figured he'd be the easiest one to buy for. Well...I should probably keep looking around if I want to get him something good. I'll see you tomorrow, Neji." Tenten waved and headed out the door in a flash.

As I continued to browse the clothing store, I came across a few items that Tenten would maybe like. A ancient Chinese gown? No, Lee gave her one for her Birthday. Those silk shoes she was looking at? Too-pricy. A Kimono top? No, no, she already has one of those, she's wearing it right now.

"Why did it have to be Tenten's name?" I muttered under my breath, setting down yet another item I had considered buying for her. "A woman like herself shouldn't be this complicated to shop for." I looked around to the other men in the shop that was most likely shopping for their girlfriends. From the corner of my eye I saw a young man picking a small plant with white berry-looking things. Mistletoe. Would that be perfect for Tenten? I asked myself. I wasn't sure if she had a boyfriend or not, but if so it would be perfect for and the man.

"Merry Christmas, Neji!" Tenten said, holding a large package in her arms.

"Merry Christmas..." I mumbled, pulling out the small gift I had bought her from my jacket.

"Do you know when we can give out the gifts?" She asked, a large smile painted onto her face. "I can't wait to see his reaction when I give him his gift!"

"When Gai-Sensei and Lee are ready, I assume."

She pouted slightly before sitting down on the empty bench beside us. "That's fine, I want to see Gai-Sensei's reaction as well."

We waited around for several minutes before Lee and Gai-Sensei arrived, both carrying pretty large packages themselves. I felt a little rivaled as I looked at the small box I had for Tenten. Starting with Gai-Sensei, he opened his gift from Lee. I didn't get a good look at what it was, Gai-Sensei was impressed with the choice of gift and flashed a large smile. Lee was then next, his gift was from Gai-Sensei, his gift didn't surprise me, another set of clothing that met our Sensei's. He said it was because Lee was a growing man and needed a new pair...Tenten and I just shook our heads.

"I wanna go next!" Tenten then said, waving her arm in the air.

"Alright Tenten, let's see what you bought for Neji."

Of course it was obvious by then that Tenten and I were giving gifts to each other.

Taking the large box she handed me, I saw her smile grow and she covered her mouth as if to control her emotion. Lifting up the lid to the box and peering inside, I wasn't sure whether to frown or smile. Reaching in, I touched the soft gift and pulled it out.

"Isn't it cute, Neji?" She giggled.

In my arms was a large stuffed bear with solid lavender eyes that matched my own and a Ninja headband wrapped around it's forehead.

"Yes..." I said, hoping the answer pleased her. Inside, I was confused and a little bit disturbed by the animal. As I carefully settled it back into the box, I handed Tenten her gift. When she unwrapped the red paper and opened the box her smile faded into a confused look.

"Mistletoe?"

I nodded.

"What am I supposed to do with this?"

"Kiss someone who's under it with you I believe."

Still confused, she smiled slightly at me. "Thanks Neji..."

She was obviously displeased with the gift and I was regretting not buying her the silk shoes.

"Can I hold it?" Lee asked.

Tenten shrugged and handed the Mistletoe to Lee. She then looked away, most likely trying to go through her head of why I chose that of all gifts.

"I think you two should kiss now..." Lee laughed.

I looked up, in the middle of Tenten and I, Lee held up the Mistletoe. I felt the color leave my face, this wasn't what the gift was supposed to be used for. It was for Tenten and her boyfriend. Not Tenten and I.

Tenten didn't look up, she caught on that Lee was holding it up and must've refused to kiss me.

"Look over here, Tenten." I whispered.

As she turned her head, I caught her lips under the Mistletoe, the where cold from the freezing weather and where trembling from the coolness. Though my lips where cold, I warmed hers up, doing what some would call 'baby kisses' before moving into 'passionate' ones. As we pulled away after Gai made a comment, Tenten's cheeks where a deep pink and her lips looked warmer.

"You have a stranger taste in gifts, Neji..." was all she could seem to muster from her mouth.

Author's notes - I wanted to give it a Christmas mood...I think I failed though...oh well...and I am really sorry if you do not celebrate Christmas.

Thank you for reading. Happy Christmas!
