Hello everyone! I felt so into the Christmas spirit i decided to write another story, just about Christmas X) Don't yell at me for not updating my other stories, i have an excuse! It seems my computer is not broken, and my brother did not finish... repairing it, you could say. The next time i will see him is New Year's, so expect at least 3 stories to be updated then!I was able to update this one because i typed this one in a DIFFERENT computer :D

Now, I was originally planning to make this a one-shot, but i decided it would be too long... so, i am planning for this to have only 3 CHAPTERS so i don't think it'll take me too long to finish this :) i was planning to actually post it up on Christmas Eve, but i hardly got any computer time then, so i couldn't. Sorry!

Disclaimer: I do own Naruto in any way, shape or for.

Chapter 1: Christmas Miracle

"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura glared, bashing him in the head for what could have been the fifth time that hour. Seriously, when would he stop his silly shenanigans? Stating Christmas was a joke… ha! Sakura laughed at the thought.

"We know you think this is pointless, alright! Just don't ruin our Christmas spirit." Naruto whined, passing Sakura a red Christmas decoration to put on the tree.

Yes, Christmas was approaching, and everyone was as busy as ever. And what better place to spend their holidays than the Uchiha Compound, considering Naruto had no real family, and Sakura's parents had left the Fire Country to visit their grandparents.

"Sakura, dear, can you help me with the lights?"

"Certainly Mikoto-san!" Sakura hurried off the ladder, nearly tripping on Sasuke, and scurried to put her coat, gloves, and scarf on to meet Mikoto outside. It was a wonder how Sasuke could still stay so stubborn during these festive holidays.

Though Mikoto wasn't one to ask for help, she was rather short and couldn't reach high places. Even though Sakura wasn't that tall to begin with either, she was still taller than Mikoto. Also, she was much younger, so stretching and bending using her chakra wouldn't kill her back later that night.

Fortunately though, Sakura was just tall enough to reach, and her chakra control made it perfect to walk on the walls. Sakura framed the lights on the outside of the house, while Mikoto held them, making sure they weren't tangled.

Wiping the snow off of her red gloves, Sakura stood back and watched in awe as Mikoto plugged it in, and the house became aglow. "I think we did a pretty good job, if I do say so myself." Sakura sighed in bliss.

"Oh it's wonderful dear!" Mikoto agreed.

"Baa-chan!" Naruto whined, sticking his head out of the door. "You think it's possible to make us some of your famous hot cocoa?"

Sakura sent Naruto a wicked look. "What happened to manners, Naruto?" hey eyes seemed to glint with evil.

Naruto gulped "I mean… kaa-san?"

"Sure thing Naruto, my boy." She laughed a hearty laugh, dragging Sakura into the house.

Entering, Sakura took her red scarf off, putting it on the coat hanger along with her long black coat: Sasuke had given it to her last Christmas, and she had made sure to keep it in good condition, after all, it wasn't every day Sasuke was thoughtful enough to give her a present.

When she looked around, she realized Sasuke and Naruto were fighting… again.

Rolling up her green long-sleeved shirt, she walked towards them –more like stomped towards them- and literally pried them off of each other with her bare force.

"Gosh Sakura-chan! I can't believe you used to like this douche!" Naruto glared.

"Hey! This "douche" happens to be our teammate Naruto... he has been for over 4 years. You'd think a person would learn to live with someone after that long." She glared at them both. Naruto whimpered at the glare, and Sasuke merely crossed his arms across his chest, looking at a different direction childishly while muttering a quick "dumbass".

"Can't we just have a merry Christmas? One filled with warm hugs, loving kisses, and hearty laughs? You know, like those in story books?" Sakura said, half frowning. Sakura was one of those people who really liked getting into the Christmas spirit…

One of the many things she and Mikoto had in common… That was why Mikoto accepted her so welcoming, and treated her as if she were her own daughter.

"Not with this dobe/teme." They both muttered at the same time, and when they realized they both said the same thing, they glared at each other… at the exact same time…

Sakura sighed… for being said to be complete opposites they sure acted a lot like each other.

But then again, they did have a lot in common…

One of them, obviously being they knew how to push her buttons, and what buttons exactly to push… this… being one of them.

"Oh come on Sasuke-kun… Naruto…" she sighed, shaking her head in a disapproving manner. "Would it help cheer you guys up if I tell you I got you both fabulous presents?" Sakura tried.

Naruto burst out into a fit of grins, and pleas to tell him what it was.

Sasuke's mood seemed to only lighten a fraction, because even he knew Sakura's presents were always the best… past experiences with her on his birthday and other Christmas' proved that.

"Come on Sasuke-kun!" Sakura pleaded. "Why do you always act so mood around Christmas?" Sakura asked, a pouting framing her face.

"Several reasons" he merely responded, a frown on his face.

"Do you mind telling us what they are? Maybe we could help you." Sakura replied, a warming smile on her face.

"No way Sakura-chan!" Naruto rejected, but he quickly got pummeled to the floor not even a second later. "I-I mean… sure w-we'll help you Sasuke-teme." Naruto said, trying to pick himself up off the floor.

Sasuke side-glanced at them before walking to the side of a closet, near his room. Naruto and Sakura stood in front of it, curious.

"You're problem is… a closet?" Sakura questioned.

Sasuke shook his head, grabbing the handle and opening it, side-stepping.

At first, they had no clue what he was trying to tell them… but after seeing the closet, they gulped in fear. Seconds later, an avalanche of love letters, presents, flowers, chocolates, and many more things attacked them. Sakura thought she was about to die.

"Every year, damn fan girls think Christmas is the best time to send me presents." Sasuke glared.

Sakura and Naruto emerged from the pile. Sakura grabbed a random object: a box of chocolates.

"Chocolate? But you hate chocolate Sasuke-kun. And I'm sure you're tired of love letters, considering you've been getting them since the age of 6." Sakura said, tossing the chocolate aside, while Naruto grabbed it and opened it, and literally ripping the love letter in half. It didn't matter; it wasn't like Sasuke actually took the time to open them all.

"Well I sure don't!" he exclaimed, gobbling them up.

"And… flowers Sasuke-kun?" she asked in curiosity. "You have allergies. I'm sure the pollen doesn't help you one bit!" she exclaimed. She looked at the sun flowers oddly. Who in their right mind would send sun flowers in the middle of winter?

"I know" he glared. "The presents don't stop coming all month, and I end up burning them every year. Why do you think it always smells like chocolate in here?" a small smirk framed his features as he grabbed the box of chocolates Naruto had in his hand –much to his dismay-, and threw them into the fireplace. Sakura got up, wiping herself off and stood next to Sasuke.

"Hey! That was a waste of chocolate!" Naruto whined, angered.

"And what's your other problem?" Sakura asked.

"Itachi-kun! You're back!" Mikoto's loud squeal stung their ears.

"That" he spoke viciously.

"Itachi-san?" Sakura questioned.

"No, not Itachi-san," he repeated innocently, his eyes as deadly as daggers. "That" he glared, and Sakura turned around, seeing him greet Mikoto with a warm hug. He also gave her what Sakura believed was a mug… squinting she saw it said 'Best Mother in the World'.

"Aww, he bought your mom a mug." Sakura said sweetly.

Sasuke sent her an evil glare, and she quickly stopped, turning back around and facing Sasuke. "Itachi is evil." He seethed.

"Well… what exactly is wrong with Itachi?" Sakura questioned.

"Yes, what is wrong with me?"

Sakura jumped, abruptly turning around, coming face to face with Itachi's chest. 'Curse his tallness' Sakura mildly thought, trying to hide her frown.

"Good evening Itachi-san." She bowed in respect.

Itachi nodded, acknowledging her. "Good evening Miss Haruno. Spending the holidays with us?" he asked.

"Oh Yes!" she said gleefully. "My parents have already talked with Mikoto." Sakura smiled warmly.

"Hm" he focused his attention on Naruto, who was still lying, buried in the gifts. Itachi eyed him oddly. "I don't suppose you'll be staying here as well?" Itachi questioned.

"Huh? Oh… yeah. Mikoto said it was alright with her." Naruto said, trying not to glare at Itachi, and ogling the chocolates was really helping him.

Itachi looked at the avalanche of presents on the floor. "I see you've got some work to do, Sasuke." Itachi smirked.

Sasuke grumbled incoherent words for a while. "What about yours?" Sasuke asked. It was no surprise Itachi probably got twice as many presents as Sasuke did.

Itachi bent down, picking up a box of chocolate. "I gave mine to Shisui." He smirked, handing them to Sasuke for no apparent reason.

"Smart" Sasuke said, narrowing his eyes.

"Very well… I see you're busy. I will see you all at dinner, Sasuke, Naruto," he paused briefly, looking at Sakura "Miss Haruno."

"Yes, see you then, Itachi-san." Sakura bowed once more, before Itachi excused himself and went upstairs to his room.

When the coast was clear, Naruto decided to speak up. "See you then Itachi-san." Naruto repeated in a mocking manner, trying to say it exactly as Sakura said it, obviously jealous.

"Don't tell me you don't like Itachi either, Naruto." Sakura sighed, rolling her eyes.

"Of course not." Sasuke scoffed. "You're the only one who does." He looked away. "That's probably the only thing me and this dobe have in common."

"And why, pray tell, do you hate him too?" Sakura eyebrows rose.

"There have been rumors that he'll be Tsunade-baachan's successor! Like hell I'll let him be the next Hokage if I can help it!" he exclaimed.

"Oh Naruto" Sakura shook her head once again. "You have to admit, Tsunade-shishou does like him a lot more." Sakura said.

"I know! But I don't even understand why! I'm so much awesomer than Itachi will ever be!"

"First off, Naruto, 'awesomer' is not a word. Second, she probably likes him better because he doesn't call her 'baa-chan', doesn't beg her for missions every second, and doesn't break her rules!" Sakura burst.

Naruto grumbled. "Well if you put it that way…"

"The hot chocolate is ready boys!" Mikoto's shout ended Naruto's brooding as he ran to the kitchen, eager to have Mikoto's famous hot chocolate with marshmallows.

Sakura sighed, shaking her head, and going towards the fireplace, where she soon enough began to put up 6 stockings (Fugaku, Mikoto, Sasuke, Naruto, herself, and Itachi). She then started decorating them with glitter, writing the names and what not.

After Naruto and Sasuke finished their hot chocolate, the boys took over Sakura's shift, and finished up the stockings for her. After that, Sakura ate her hot chocolate in peace, while Mikoto and the boys started putting up wreaths, poisonettias, and other Christmas plants.

And after that, Naruto insisted they have more hot chocolate… her peaceful time was ended short.

"You never did explain why you hate Itachi in Christmas more than usual." Sakura said, drinking her hot chocolate.

"Because…" Sasuke sighed. "Every year, no matter how hard I try, I get pummeled by fan girls, and in my efforts, I always get punished by kaa-san." Sasuke stated with a scowl on his face. "She says it is the time of giving, and I should be friendlier and accept their gifts." He snorted. "Meanwhile, Itachi never even gets touched, and he walks in public every day! I hide, away in here and I still manage to have some creepy fan girl in my room!" he said in disbelief.

"So… you hate Itachi on Christmas because… he knows how to avoid fan girls?" Sakura summed up, trying to figure it out.

"Yes! And for once, I would like him to at least be surprised about something." Sasuke grumbled.

If that wasn't a pointless excuse, then Sakura didn't know what was. It must just be a pointless hatred towards his older brother, she presumed, because no normal person would fret about that.

"There must be something we can do to ruin your brother's monotonous and perfect Christmas." Naruto said triumphantly. "What type of Hokage would I be if I couldn't even help out my best friend in his time of need?!" he exclaimed loudly.

"Pipe down Naruto!" Sakura scolded, half in a daze. "I'd still be surprised if you made Hokage because of Itachi." She said, though her mind was somewhere else.

"Come help with the tree decorations!" Mikoto shouted from the living room.

Sasuke and Naruto groaned. "I thought we finished them." Naruto replied.

"Nonsense Naruto! Our tree looks naked!" she replied.

And yes, it really did. They had only done it for about 5 minutes, before Sakura went to do the lights. What with a brainless dummy and a Christmas hater, they couldn't obviously do anymore. They just started bickering instead until Sasuke brought up Mikoto's famous hot chocolate, which made Naruto shout outside, and get scolded by Sakura. Then Naruto blamed Sasuke for his scolding, and they started fighting… once again.

"Sasuke-kun… I think why you don't like Itachi-kun in Christmas is because he doesn't show the Christmas spirit at all…" Sakura mumbled lowly, and Sasuke had trouble understanding what she was saying. "…and you act just like him because you look up to him!" it ended as an excited squeal.

Sakura's logic made sense… sort of…

Because, Sasuke had always been infatuated with everything his brother did: his ninja skills, his actions, his intelligence, and even his graceful movements. Back then, Sasuke wasn't ashamed to admit he wanted to be just like Itachi when he grew up. Now, it took guts, since he realized Uchihas' don't act like that…

Instead, he settled with "I wish my brother dropped the stoic act on Christmas because I can't do it."

Sakura had been in a team with Sasuke for over 4 years, and she had known him already for… 8 years. The Academy hadn't really helped Sakura get close to Sasuke, but she was able to learn a lot about him during that time.

Like one thing, he hated chocolate with a great passion, and he had a thing for tomatoes. He also disliked the color purple 'poor Ino' and he was not a morning person. Sakura had also learned a lot more about him, but listing it all would be too hard, and her brain was getting way off topic.

'Sasuke wants a normal Christmas, does he?'

"Sakura-chan! Help us with our tree, won't you?" Naruto whined. In truth, he just didn't want to do it all by himself, considering Sasuke was too stubborn to do so… albeit, if she got Itachi to join them… maybe… just maybe…

"Naruto get down from that ladder!" she quickly snapped, realizing he was high up there. No, it wasn't that she was worried for his safety: Naruto was always okay, and she seriously doubted the cause of his death any time soon would be a tree. She was scared for the safety of the tree itself, really.

She had been there when Mikoto bought the tree.

'Who do you think carried it all the way here?'the thought almost inner said almost made her snort. But hey, she was right. Sakura looked at her pant pockets. 5 of those jobs have given her enough money to buy Naruto and Sasuke the best Christmas presents ever! At least, she hoped. Tomorrow would be Christmas Eve, so she didn't exactly have enough time to do some serious shopping. She just had to hope not all of the good stuff was sold out yet. But then again, what Sasuke and Naruto truly loved, wasn't exactly the most common of gifts…

"Sakura-chan!" Naruto snapped her out of her day dreaming.

"Sorry… I'll be right back." Sakura commented, walking right past them.

"Where are you going?" Sasuke asked, his eyebrow raised. He had seen Sakura's wheels turning a while ago.

"Oh… just going to the bathroom." Sakura insisted.

"…The bathroom is that way, Sakura." Sasuke pointed the opposite direction.

"I know that Sasuke." She snapped. "But I have all my stuff in that bathroom. It's a girl thing Sasuke." She gave him a ferocious smile, as if saying 'ask more and you're dead.'

Naruto went green and even Sasuke seemed disgusted.

"That was way too much info Sakura-chan!" he said, getting off the ladder before he probably puked on it… or he just fell…

Sakura shrugged. "It's your fault for asking. Next time, I suggest you don't question what bathroom I'm using, and why." Sakura walked off.

Naruto shivered. "I'm never using your bathroom again teme."

"Neither am I" he muttered.

"Oh you silly boys." Mikoto laughed heartily. "This isn't the first time you've shared a bathroom with her… you'd think you boys would be smarter."

Sasuke and Naruto looked at each other, another shiver running through both of their spines. "I need to disinfect my ass." was Naruto's short mumble.

Meanwhile… Sakura was making her way down the hall, and passed the bathroom, landing directly in front of Itachi's door.

She brushed her hair behind her ear, a habit she would often do when nervous… she hadn't done that in over a year.

"Itachi-san?" Sakura tried to make her voice fill with confidence, and for the most part, it did.

There was no reply, but the door opened shortly after. "You called, Miss Haruno?"

Sakura tried to hide her blush. The way Itachi's masculine voice said her name sort of sent shivers down her spine.

Hey, she wasn't a fan girl anymore, but everyone had to admit, there was just something about Itachi…

"Well… I was wondering if you would like to set Christmas decorations with us on the tree… But if you don't want to, it's okay… but I think it'd be fun if you came… but you're not obligated… you're right, I better just leave." Sakura rambled on, not able to make up her mind.

She was already turned around and on her way, when Itachi cleared her throat, causing her to freeze, and turn around.

"My… you have a way of persuading one's mind, Miss Haruno." He smirked playfully, in which Sakura blushed in response.

"Umm… thank you?" she guessed, not knowing what to say.

"Hm" he used his infamous phrase as a hum. "Why, may I ask, is it you wish me there?" he asked.

"Well… I thought it'd feel more at home if everyone was there, even if Fugaku-san can't make it…" Sakura trailed off. "…and… I think Sasuke-kun would really appreciate it too." Sakura gave him an unsure, but warm smile nonetheless.

"Sasuke?" he raised an eyebrow.

"Yes… I think Sasuke-kun only dislikes Christmas because you do… I know he's always looked up to you, Itachi-san." Sakura began. "It might be harder for him to admit now than before, but I believe he hates Christmas because you're never there." Sakura frowned slightly. "But," she smiled mockingly slightly, "I think he does sort of dislike how you can survive Christmas months unscathed too… Sasuke was never so good at that." She let out a hearty laugh.

"My, very observant, are you not?" Itachi said.

"Well, I like to make sure my friends are always cheerful, especially around these winter times." Sakura replied. "I won't bother you any longer Itachi-san. I'm sorry I wasted your time." Sakura said, planning to turn around and go back to the living room.

"I'll go" Itachi's low response merely made her eyes bulge out of her sockets. She quickly recomposed herself.

"You will?" Sakura asked in disbelief, turning around once again. Sakura saw Itachi put his shoes on, and close his door behind him.

"If it means so much for my brother to be happy during Christmas, though I have my own speculation about his sour mood, one involving the fan girl situation." his lips quirked into a small smile, or a big smirk, as she would like to put it. Uchihas' don't smile, and especially not Itachi Uchiha.

Sakura's confused look turned into a great smile filled with gratitude. "Thanks Itachi!" she didn't even know what she said until the words escaped her lips. "I mean… if it's okay to call you that." She said hesitantly.

"Sure, Miss Haruno" he replied.

"Sakura's fine, I assure you."

"Very well then, Sakura." He smirked.

Sakura passed the bathroom, and paused. "Sakura?" he asked, as if saying why she was stopping.

She smiled brightly at him. "I'll meet you there shortly… I have to use the bathroom." She felt like laughing on the inside.

"Hn" he replied, walking off.

When Sakura came back, she saw Mikoto stuffing the stockings with candy canes and such, with Sasuke and Naruto trying to wrap presents… key word, trying.

And there Itachi was, staring at the ornaments oddly. She felt like laughing as she crept up behind him. "Need some help?" she asked, a sort of mocking amusement in her tone.

"Ahh" he muttered, smirking at her.

"How about we all decorate the tree together?" Sakura said out loud, mostly directing the question towards Sasuke.

"Busy… wrapping… present." Naruto growled in between glares.

"You two are obviously useless when it comes to wrapping presents. Stop before we run out of wrapping paper, and you break yourselves." Sakura over-exaggerated, though in truth… she could see it happening. A mental image almost made her laugh, but she settled for a laugh.

Sasuke glared at her, but he stood up either way and went towards Sakura and Itachi. Naruto gave up soon afterwards, dropping the tape and the present, which had been meant for Fugaku.

"You go ahead kids. I'll finish with the stockings and wrap Fuga-kun's present." Mikoto replied merrily. Leave it to Mikoto to be the only one able to give Fugaku a childish nickname and live.

"Are you sure Mikoto? We wouldn't want to leave you out of the Christmas spirit." Sakura said, unsure.

"Oh, I have plenty of Christmas spirit, no worries Sakura." Mikoto dismissed, a candy cane in her hand.

"Okay..." Sakura trailed off, focusing her attention on the tree. "Naruto, you work with me, and Itachi, you stick with Sasuke." Sakura directed. "I'll get another ladder, and by no means Naruto, will you be anywhere near them, got it?" Sakura almost threteaned.

"H-Hai S-Sakura-chan." Naruto stuttered out, in fear of his life.

"Sasuke, you hand Itachi the ornaments while he puts them on the tree, get started." Sakura commanded, going towards the coat rack, getting her scark, gloves, and coat. She swiftly put them on, going outside and getting a stool from the storage in the backyard. They didn't have anymore ladders.

Sakura got back in a matter of minutes, setting the stool, or small ladder down next to the tree and climbing up, after putting her stuff back on the coat rack. "Okay Naruto, hand me the ornaments." Sakura said, examining Sasuke and Itachi. She couldn't help but let a smile frame her face.

Sasuke didn't seem pissed off, and he actually seemed to be enjoying himself. Sakura glanced at Itachi; who knew he was the key to Sasuke's Christmas spirit? Itachi caught her staring, and he merely smirked. Sakura smiled at him in return, as if saying thank you for actually interacting with them. Who ever knew Itachi could actually be nice? Sasuke sure didn't, and Sakura didn't expect it.

With Itachi and Sasuke on one side, and Sakura and Naruto on the other, they got done in no time, with only one more ornament left.

"Can i please put it on?" Sakura pleaded, a frown on her face. Putting the star on top of the tree had always been her favorite, she didn't know why.

"Sure" Itachi replied curtly.

"Go head" Sasuke shrugged.

"Have a blast" Naruto grinned.

"Thanks guys!" Sakura smiled at her boys. Well, Naruto and Sasuke would always be hers... Itachi? Not so much... Though, she had to admit, these past few hours, he seemed to have really opened up... not really, but more than anyone could honestly say.

Sakura got up on the small stood/ladder, the shiny star on her right hand. Sakura frowned.

'Damn it... I can't reach.' Sakura pouted, this was not fair! Curse her and her small self. 'No... I must make it.' Sakura thought triumphantly.

Sakura got on her tip-toes, reaching as for as she could. "You need some help Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked hesitantly from behind her, watching her green backside nervously.

"No," she seethed, "I got it Naruto" she said, though in truth, she was just sort from 'getting it'.

'Just a... little more...' Sakura strained, pulling her arms as far as she could, being right at the edge of the stool, and even making a ballerina pose, literally standing on her toes.

"Got it!" she exclaimed happily. She shouldn't have been so happy just yet... the stool flipped over and it an attempt to save the tree and all its god-like beauty, she leaned to the side.

'At least the tree is safe.' Sakura thought happily.

Though she was expecting the fall flat on her face, she felt a strong pair of arms wrap around her safely. Sakura sighed in relief, looking up at her savior. "Thanks Sasuke-kun" she smiled greatfully at him.

"Clumsy" he merely muttered under his breath, shaking his head in a disapproving manner.

Sakura glared as she started squirming and hitting him... and well, who's to say they both started falling... again.

And yet again, she felt arms reach out to grab her just in time... while Sasuke fell... hard. Yeah, Sakura had managed to pummel him to the ground in the nick of time.

Sakura looked up again, confused... Naruto was currently laughing his ass off, pointing at Sasuke directly in front of her... and unless Mikoto really wasn't that weak, and Fugaku was still at work...

"Itachi" her doey eyes looked directly at Itachi, seeing him smirk in amusement.

"Sakura" he repeated calmly.

She stared at him in shock for several more seconds. "Ahh, thank you Itachi..." she said sheepishly, scratching the back of her head. She hadn't noticed until now she had had her arms wrapped around his neck... Sakura, unlike most feline cats, did not always land on her feet... Actually, she usually landed on her bottom...

"Hn" he replied, setting her down gently.

They stared at each other for several more seconds until Naruto's laughing got much to loud, and they focused on Sasuke, who was still lying on the floor, glaring at Itachi. "You could have helped me too." something which could almost be called a pout came to his face.

"Ladies first, as they say." Itachi said calmly, grabbing Sasuke by the hand and pulling him up, and then patting him on the head. Wow... he hadn't done that for a while. A true pout appeared on Sasuke's face and Sakura really considered this to be her Christmas miracle.

"Excuse me, but are you referring to Sakura as a lady?" Sasuke asked in disbelief.

"What are you implying then?" Itachi raised an eyebrow. From beside him, Sakura cracked her knuckles dangerously.

"You better choose your next words wisely, Sasuke-kun." she threatened.

"She's not just a lady... she's my teammate and best friend." the words came all too natural to Sasuke, and it didn't even sound as if he were kidding.

"My mistake, Sasuke" Itachi replied, obviously amused how Sakura could easily strike fear into Sasuke.

"Aww, Sasuke-kun, you really think that?" Sakura said sweetly, giving him a nice, tender bear hug.

Itachi heard his spine crack seconds afterwards: that hug was obviously a literal bear hug and was not meant to be none too gentle either.

"O-Of course Sakura" his voice cracked slightly due to the pain.

"Let's all go Christmas caroling now!" Mikoto announced out of nowhere, appearing beside Sasuke and Sakura.

"Yes!" Sakura squealed, urgently grabbing her coat, scarf, and gloves.

The boys, excluding Itachi, merely sighed in boredom, putting on their own extra layer of clothes.

And off they went...
