Sasuke woke up with a start, beads of sweat on his forehead. He had a nightmare, one about Itachi...this time. He shiverd slightly when the cool summer air his chest, and looked down in confusion.

'Where are my clothes-Why am I naked?' The raven wondered.

A soft noise came from beside him and he saw black hair fraiming a face, half-lidded eyes, and a thin hand drawing circles in his side.

Sasuke blinked. And blinked again. "...Omae?"

The now raven haired girl looked up at him and blinked slowly, smiling. "Good Morning, Shishou-Sasuke-sama."

His eyes narrowed slightly, not at her, but her hair color, and pouted slightly. "I wish you'd change you hair back..." He mumbled.

"It's only temporary..."

"I still like your old hair color best." He pressed on.

Jinx looked away from him, dropping her hand. She hoped the dye would wear off, it seemed Sasuke was always glaring at her.

They walked the town, a little while later, looking at all the booths and attractions of the festival. It was beautiful the way everything was strewn about, all of the decorations. Even Sasuke had to admit, it was enjoyable. But even for Sasuke, anything was enjoyable when he was with his love.

He leaned over and pecked her on the cheek, missing her neck as she moved. She blushed, looking at him amogst everyone else who was as well, mummruing amongst themselves about the sudden display of affection.

They later ended up running into Kichigai and Gaara, both adorned in festival attire.

"Gaara-sama!" Jinx's face lit up with a smile as she saw her old friend. "It's been forever! How've you been?" She hugged him.

Gaara smiled slightly, hugging her in return. "I've been fine. And yourself?"

"I've been okay."

Sasuke looked at Kichigai, and smiled softly, giving her a wave. She nodded, still at Gaara's side. Jinx pulled out a small present for Kichigai and Gaara, surprising them.

"What's...this?" Gaara's invisble eyebrow raised curiously. He looked up, tilting his head sideways. "I...didn't ask for anything..."

Kichigai's actions monotoried Gaara's looking at her as well. "Imoutou-chan, when'd you get this?" She looked at how small the box was again, examining it. "What is it anyway?"

"Well, It's almost Christmas, and I wanted to get everyone something, but that's just for you two." She smiled slightly, sheepishly.

Gaara opened his first, seeing black ear studs with his birth stone on either end of the industrial bar, for his ear. Kichigai's eyes widened, and Gaara looked up at Jinx.

"Do you like them? I couldnt find them anywhere, so I had Zein-sama make both of them. Open your's Kichigai."

She did as she was told, the same exact set but in a crimson color, to match his own. She went and hugged Jinx, smiling. "Thanks so much Imoutou-chan!"

"Yeah, well, those are the presents I could carry. I wanted to give them today, so you could wear them during the fireworks."

"...But we didnt get you guys anything like this..." Gaara said in protest.

"It's okay. It's actually from me and Sasuke-sama, I picked out yours and he did Kichigai's...cause I sorta forgot your birthday."

"Baka."

"Hey, the fireworks are starting."

All four companions sat down on the soft grass, watching the fireworks with awe, looking at all the great colors. Sasuke looked at Jinx, and rubbed her hand, getting her to look at him. He took her face with his thumb and kissed her gently, moving to her ear.

"I haven't forgotten about our promise...Omae."
