The rookie nine, Neji, Lee and the sand siblings were invited to a Christmas party at Tenten's house. Hinata has Naruto's gift all wrapped up but does she have the courage to give it to him? NaruXHina (the next series include the game spin the bottle cross truth or dare in general view)

A/N This is my first story! Please enjoy! Inspired by Kiwi-Kitteh, her story Underneath the Mistletoe.

I'm adding my own character (Haruka) to be paired with Neji. But since this story is focusing on Hinata and Naruto, I'm going to post another story (Christmas in Konoha) in general view featuring NejiHaru. Details will be on the authors comment on "Christmas in Konoha".

I don't own any Naruto characters, they are Masashi Kishimoto's (although I wish I could have owned Neji and Kiba!). No flames please, if you don't like the pairing NaruHina, Just don't read.

Three Days before Christmas

The winter's snow floated down to land in a park, its color as white as the summer's clouds. It landed on slides, swings and looked like icing when it gathered on the trees. The park was lonely, free of all life. Except…..

Except a figure. A raven haired girl sat on a park bench with her hands on her lap. She gazed at the snow covered playground, a strand of hair fell in front of her face. She gently pushed it back. The raven long hair had once been short, but as time passed, its owner let it grow long. Hyuuga Hinata turned her head as she heard her friend Kiba shout her name. She, Kiba, Akamaru and Shino had decided to go Christmas shopping together and decided to meet in the park. Hinata had come early.

Kiba and Akamaru ran to where she as sitting and Shino came shortly after. She stood up and they walked away together towards the shops.

The crowd was big. But that was expected since it's only three days before Christmas. Hinata didn't have anything else she needed to buy. Her gift for her special someone had already been made and wrapped up, now sitting on her desk in her bedroom.

Flashback

Hinata opened an envelope to find and invitation to Tenten's Christmas party:

Dear Hinata,

You are invited to my Christmas party.

Come to my house on 25 December, 8 o'clock.

I have picked names of all the people going. The name you have is in the envelope. Bring his or her gift to the party.

Tenten

Inside the envelope, Hinata pulled out a piece of paper. On it said Naruto. She gasped and nearly dropped it.

End flash back

The only reason Hinata is here shopping with Kiba and Shino is because both of them got to get presents for girls for the party and wanted her to help them pick out gifts.

Even though she was supposed to help them, she didn't know who the girls were. Shino and Kiba kept the names to themselves because it was the rule of the game to keep the name secret. Besides, one of them might even have Hinata's name on their piece of paper.

They went into a shop filled with stationary and stuff toys.

-A Few Minuets Later-

Team 8 came out with two prettily wrapped presents. Kiba carried a present with pale yellow wrapping paper, shaped suspiciously like a teddy bear. Shino, however, came out with a blue present. Being the smarter one, he managed to put his present in a cylinder shaped box.

The three of tem then parted their separate ways to head home.

Hinata's Place

Hyuuga Hinata sat on her bed, glancing out of her window. The snow had already started falling, now as high as her ankles when she stood outside. She lay down, under the blanket, now starring at the ceiling. Soon she felt her eyelids begin to drop, without realizing it, she had fallen asleep.
