Something about Roses and Love

Christmas Present

Just like the night sleeps on by,
Just like the sun wakes the sky
They are so in love
Like we are so in love

Just like the cold becomes spring
Just like the perfect day dream
Just like your pretty eyes gleam
We are so in love

"Communication Service, Misumi Tsurugi is asked to come to cashier 3." Itachi looked up at the speaker on the wall, wondering for a split second who Misumi Tsurugi was. But then he sighed and returned staring at the shelves. He was busy buying Christmas presents or better trying to buy Christmas presents. For Kisame he had found a mini replica1 of Samehada, for Zetsu some seeds, for Deidara new clay and so on. Even for his brother he had find a little present. The only one he just could not find a present for was Konan. He wondered why it was so difficult to buy a present for a woman, no for a woman it wasn't really difficult; give them some make-up, jewelries or new clothes and they were happy. However, Konan wasn't like that. He remembered the time he had given her a scarf as a birthday present; the poor scarf ended up in the trash tin.

As Itachi continued to stare at the shelves, one of the employees had gotten closer. The silver haired shop employee was stunned and wondered whether he should disturb the man or not, but decided to softly ask, "Can I help you with anything, sir?"

Itachi awoke and turned to see the shop employee. He stood quietly and didn't say anything. What a beautiful man, he thought. I wouldn't mind helping him. Itachi took some time before he asked if the silver haired man knew what to buy for a young woman that doesn't like mode, jewelry or make-up. "Well sir, does she like flowers?"

Itachi shrugged. "I don't know. She wears a paper flower in her hair, but that's all."

"A paper flower?"

"Yeah, she's into origami."

"Then why don't you buy a book with all types of origami?" The shop employee smiled.

"That sounds good. Thank you, umm…"

"Yakushi Kabuto, sir."

"Thank you Yakushi-san. Oh, do you sell books like that here?"

"No, we don't. But the shop at the highest floor does. And you're welcome, mister…"

"Uchiha Itachi. Well, I'm off. Bye."

"Bye!" Itachi left. Kabuto sadly looked at the spot Itachi had been standing. "Good luck with your girlfriend," he muttered.

"Communication Service, Yakushi Kabuto is asked to come to the bookshop." Kabuto rushed upstairs and smiled when he met Itachi again. "Let me guess, an origami book?"

"Yes please, Yakushi-san."Kabuto left and came back with a series of books. Itachi was looking in the books, when Kabuto softly said, "So what kind of girl is your girlfriend?"

Itachi looked up and smiled. "I don't have a girlfriend. This is simply for a friend."

Kabuto smiled back, "Lovely."

This was rushed. I don't really like it that much, but oh well. Merry Christmas to everyone! But especially to my reviewers :D

And thanks to Sitzeben for reviewing the last chapter. (And good luck with your ItaKabufic!)

Also sorry for the long break, but you know exams and all that lot, made sure I hardly had the time to write. I already have started writing the next chapter, so hopefully it'll be out sooner.

PS: Does someone have a better word for Communication Service? I know how to say it in my own language, but not in English.
