During the whole afternoon while they shopped, they received many stares and affectionate girls flopping over to hand gifts to both males. Though they didn't accept any and told them to go away because all they wanted to do was continue this peaceful shopping with her.

Only her.

She looked happy as she wandered from place to place, like a child going to amusement park for the first time. Sakura had enjoyed her time doing what she always wanted to do. Another spark emitted from her jade orb as she saw the takoyaki stand few feet away.

She asked them to wait here since she really want to try those; desserts and city food are rare at the mountain she lived in, and though she had been here for nearly 3 months, her budgets were so low that she had barely purchase anything in Tokyo.

As they watched her brought another box of food, Naruto gulped at the fact that they had already eaten from the start of the street until the middle of this place.

Sakura-chan sure can eat, She had been sharing with them and he thought he had a big appetite but no, she's on a whole different level.

Sasuke smiled internally watching her back. He was glad that bring her here made her happy, it was his purpose after all. But, really… She has been eating so much and the problem with that is he didn't, for some reason, reject her when she tell him to open his mouth and offered him some. Maybe it was because she did it to Naruto and he didn't like that.

"Where did Sakura-chan go?"Naruto's voice made his way to the Uchiha's ear and he looked up to the takoyaki stand and didn't find her there.

His blonde friend started to get worry and stood up looking around, but Sasuke only said she's probably off for food again. Though he was a bit worry as well, what if she gets lost.

"Damn this, I should have give it to her earlier." Naruto murmured under his breath and stood on the chair to find any sign of pink.

"Naruto, Sasuke! Sorry for keeping you guys waiting." She waved as she made her way through the crowds.

"Where the fuck did you go." His voice was a little louder because he is angry at her for not telling them that she will wander off, though Sakura didn't seem to notice.

"Oh, I went to get something." She reached into a bag and took out two scarfs.

"Merry Christmas." She said as she wrapped a black one around Naruto and a blue one around Sasuke's neck. They watched her put the warm fabric on their neck, her close proximity allow them to see her slightly red nose from the cold. Her warm breath created a small cloud of fog as she breath in and out.

Her hands were cold and her cheeks were white as the snow that had started moments ago.

"thank you for bring me here." She put her arms around them and brought them down to a hug. She pulled back and smiled sweetly at them, her jade eyes sparked with all the lights around them.

As if something clicks in his head, the blonde turned to look at Sasuke who was probably thinking the same thing as him.

"Why am I matching with Sasuke-bastard…" He suddenly feel like these scarfs were meant for a couple.

"They look great on you two." She assured them and the blonde shy away thinking it might really did.

Remembering something he brought earlier, "Merry Christmas Sakura-chan, I got something for you too." He took out a phone he purchased back when she was getting food and put it in her hand. "Is dangerous without phone these days, keep it on you all the time."

Though she wasn't good with fashion, she at least knew this is the newest and the most expensive brand of phone in Japan. Knowing he won't take it back no matter what she say, she thank him and accept it.

"Sasuke do you like it?" She asked with eager eyes, confident when she picked them and it came out pretty good on him as well.

The onyx eye male didn't respond, because she was staring at him with those puppy eyes. He can't look and his mind wasn't taking in her words.

When he didn't respond, her eyes sadden a bit, does he really doesn't like it?

"Gomen, I only have enough to get this."

So it was what she had been worrying about getting clothes, exclude the food, she had planned to buy them gifts as presents and the amount she brought wasn't enough to buy herself clothes that Naruto and Sasuke chose.

"…it's warm." He sighed but answered anyway so she wouldn't feel bad. He was a man with few words but it was enough for her to understand he didn't dislike it.

"What do you want?" He didn't buy anything in return and he doesn't like owning her anything. He wasn't as considerate as Naruto but he as least want to pay her back a gift.

"Huh? oh, I don't need anything."

"but….." she hesitate when she remember the phone Naruto gave to her but still decided to give it a try.

"Can we have a picture together? " She asked.

"Of course Sakura-chan!Who would say no?! Come one let's try out your new phone."

She took a while to figure out where the camera button was and asked a person passing by if she could take a picture for them.

She stood in the middle with a smiling Naruto on her left and a non-too-pleasant face-Uchiha on her right, the Christmas tree behind them illuminate with bright lights surrounding the three.

Yes, this was what she wanted the most.
