Hi guys! Thanks for reading my first chapter. Now I did my best on making the story longer..hehehehe...XD
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in the story.
One day to go and it'll be the most awaited season of the year. Sakura couldn't wait for that occasion. What really excites her are not the dozen of presents she'll receive again (mostly medic stuffs… :P) but partly. She couldn't wait to see everybody's faces again and also Sasuke who just arrived from his one year exile after he just betrayed the village. To Sakura, it doesn't really matter on how severe he has done to the village, at least she could spend this year's reunion with him. And this is not just those any other reunion, except for the fact that the Kyuubi kid holds the most food casualties after he is still consistent with that record, this year's reunion is very significant for her since this will be the first Christmas reunion the Uchiha will be having for years. And of course, she never forgets of her presents for them.
In the kitchen…
Molding the dough, Sakura couldn't help herself from humming Christmas songs. She really enjoyed the tune of "Last Christmas" since it did mean a lot to her. She started cutting the dough into different shapes and sizes of stars, Christmas trees, hearts, angels and snowflakes. She then added some toppings and icings on each dough; making each one look more delicious in the eyes. She then placed them in the oven but was stopped when her doorbell rang.
She opens the door and greeted happily, "Good morning sir, advance Merry Christmas! May I help you?"
The man in uniform smiled and replied back. He was carrying a small gift in his hands. "You are Ms. Haruno, am I right?"
Sakura nodded briefly as she curiously eyes the gift in front of her. The man held the gift in front of her, "This is a special delivery from Suna, Ms. Haruno. And I wish you a very Merry Christmas!" He left after she signed the paper.
Going back inside, Sakura nervously puts the gift on the table and stared at it in shock. Seriously, who would ever send her a package from Suna. If she's not mistaken, this might come from the young Kazekage, Gaara or from his sister, Temari. Well, these are the few people she knew from the Sand country. Despite of that, she couldn't feel assured. First of all, Gaara NEVER sends anyone gifts, and especially to her! Why would he ever think about her when in the first place, they really never talked! As for Temari, she'll most likely give her presents personally for the fact that she wanted to witness your reaction. And last year, she received a cute pink fan from her.
Judging from the box, Sakura could feel that there is something hollow inside, perhaps wood? But who on earth would send you wood for Christmas?! The box is small and is perfectly wrapped with red foil. Only the best gift wrappers could do this, but as for her… she'll give up. She'll never pass that skill, but only for her, she's good in making gift pouches which is suitable for her pastry gifts.
There was no card attached to it or whatsoever and it has no ribbon! She gasped after she has just noticed that. Perhaps of all the presents she has received, this one is the only ribbonless! Could this somebody be a weirdo or what? Why would anyone forget about ribbons! Inverting the box, she saw a small note pasted under it. She half-heartedly guessed that this note might not belong to the right box since it was not neatly placed below. She nearly laughed after reading the beautifully written message on it: "DO NOT OPEN 'TILL CHRISTMAS."
Yes, I feel proud for being able to write a longer chapter. And although I'm still a rookie, thanks for reading and for the support you gave me.
And yes, as what to expect for the next chap: The thing that brought back memories...
And by the way, I just want to share that my first SasoSaku fanfic is the inspiration I got from reading different SasoSaku fanfics in this site. And I hope that my inspiration will boost me all the way!
Thanks guys! (bows)
