Ali: Jiraiya and Tsunade, Naruto and Hinata, Sakura and Lee, Tenten and Neji and Gai and Kurenai. It's finally Shikamaru and Temari's time to shine!

Pein: What am I even doing here if I'm not going to force you to say the disclaimer?

Ali: Because! I... I don't know.

Pein: Then can I go?

Ali: You have to say review... I own nothing but the plot!

Pein: *shrugs* Review.

Chapter 6: (Shikamaru and Tenten)

She laid on Shikamaru's couch, wondering why she was there. Then she remembered. Gaara ordered her to. Kankuro was at home wit his girlfriend Jun and Gaara... well Gaara was in a nice room with absolutely no one. Temari decided that it was time to hit the bar and get a drink or two. She mounted her fan on her back and walked out, grumbling about how irritating her younger brother was and how she couldn't believe he used his status as Kazekage to order her to stay at Shikamaru's house. She made it to the bar and saw Jiraiya and Tsunade. She decided to avoid that mess and sat in a corner table to observe. Shikamaru walked in and she sighed.

"I know it's a drag, but I'm ordered to watch you when you go to the bar," he said with a sigh.

Then Temari's gaze shifted back to the two Sannin and saw Jiraiya pick Tsunade up bridal style. She quickly turned Shikamaru around to face them and watch as Jiraiya paid the bartender. They shared a look and made an unspoken agreement. They followed slyly, blending in with the crowd and watched as Jiraiya carried a now sleeping Tsunade to her room. THey got to the window and saw Jiraiya put her on the bed and turn to leave. Both chunin felt their shoulders slump and they walked away. The rumours were not true. They should've known, but that didn't stop their curiosity.

"We're going back to the apartment, I'm ready for a nap."

TEmari rolled her eyes and went back to Shikamaru's apartment. Shikamaru paused at the door and got out his keys. She looked up and saw a mistletoe and she couldn't look away. Shikamaru turned around, wondering why she wasn't following and looked up at the mistletoe. HE felt a smirk appear on his face as he pulled her to him and made her lips press to his. "Merry Christmas Temari."

"M-merry christmas," she replied.

A little way away Gaara chuckled at the sight that he made.

(Gaara and Sayuri)

Gaara walked away from the sight and bumped into someone and realized that it was a chunin frmo his village, one that he'd had a small crush on for about a year. "S-Sayuri?!"

"H-hello Lord Kazekage," she said, bowing.

"Just Gaara," he said.

"G-Gaara," she said, seeing how it tasted on her tongue.

"What are you doing in Konoha?"

"There's no one to really spend Christmas with at home, so I decided to follow you here." Gaara felt a non-existent eyebrow raise at this. "I hope you don't mind."

"I don't." They walked together back towards his room. He decided that she shouldn't be out in the cold. He saw her trip and quickly caught her. "Are you alright?"

"Sorry, I saw a mistletoe," she said, holding it up.

Well aware of the tradition he looked at it for a moment before he looked down at her. Sayuri blushed and so did he before he pressed his lips to hers.

(Ino and Choji)

Ino drunk her hot chocolate and read up on her medical ninjutsu. She was interupted by a knock at the door. She looked up and went to the door, looking through the peep hole. It was CHoji holding a present. She felt her eyebrows come together and she opened the door.

"Hey Choji. it's not Christmas yet."

He looked at the clock. "It will be in a minute or two."

"Come on in," she said, watching her teammate walk in. "You brought a present?"

"Yeah, I wanted my present to be the first you opened.

Ino blushed. "Okay... want some hot chocolate?"

"No thanks, I just had some."

It wasn't like Choji to turn down hot chocolate. "Is something wrong?"

"Huh? Nothing, nothing," he said, shaking his head before looking at the clock. "Christmas in ten seconds."

Ino sat next to him and finally when the seconds were up the present was thrust opon her. She opened the small box and pulled out a mistletoe. She looked up at him with heavy blush. "No sense in breaking tradition."

He blushed. "If you don't want to you don't have to. It's to put up so you can lure the guy you like undreneath."

"What if the guy I like is already here?"

Furious blush made the red marks on his cheeks disappear. "Well, then you can have him."

Ino smiled and leaned forward, kissing him.

Ali: Three in one!

Pein: Good for you.

ALi: Like we practiced.

Pein and Ali: REview!~ Oh Review please!~

Pein: Where's the present for Konan?

Konan: You were using others to get me gifts?!

Pein: *shakes head furiously* no, I have them hold your gifts, so you can't find them.

ALi: I think I'll just leave the present here *sets it on the ground* and leave. *leaves*

*screen fades to black*
