All I Want for Christmas is You

Part Two
'That's only a hint of what you're going to get'
December 25th is a time of year that we all look forward to. Maybe not everybody, but most of us. In the small ninja village of Konohagakure, all people, both ninjas and citizens, enjoy the short time of the year. All except one.
Uchiha Sasuke is a normal teenager leading a normal teenaged life. Well, if you consider having a crazed brother who murdered your entire family normal. Until just the day before, he had no purpose of celebrating the beloved holiday. Everything changed that day.
Okay so maybe making out with the girl after avoiding her since they were twelve was a little too much. He couldn't help it though. She was just so enjoyable and he felt good just being around her. Now after all that they'd been threw for the past few years just went down the toilet.
"Yo! Earth to Sasuke!" A hand waving in his pale face shook him out of his thoughts. The dark haired Uchiha turned his attention to the fox boy beside him. "Stop that Naruto!" he snapped, his obsidian orbs flickering red. Naruto held his hands up in defense and the boy's sapphire orbs looked back down at the steaming bowel of ramen before him. "You were dozing off again."
Sasuke glanced sideways at the boy. Naruto had invited him out for ramen but the whole time Sasuke had been thinking about Sakura. He'd avoided the green eyed kunoichi all day. She was probably thinking it was her fault, which it was partly. Naruto had noticed the change in her and him, too, unfortunately.
"I tried talking to Sakura today but she was kind of in a dream-like trance. It was really weird y'know." Sakura had acted a little funny that day when they saw her. Every time she looked at Sasuke her face was beet red. Not that it was unusual, but when Sakura didn't ask him out on a date that's when it got weird for Naruto. And ever since that morning, Sasuke had avoided the subject of Sakura.
The whiskered teen stirred his noodles around the in the bowl and frowned. It wasn't like them to keep something from him. He was after all their best friend! Maybe he'd ask Kakashi later if he noticed something odd about the two. Rustling was heard next to him and the whiskered blond looked over to see his friend paying for his food. "I'm going. I'll see you later Naruto," Sasuke bluntly stated stuffing his hands in the pockets of his black pullover.
Boots crunched along through the snowy ground, making their way to a familiar apartment. He could make out a beautifully lit tree through the bay window at the side of the apartment. He smirked to himself as an image of Sakura fussing with the pine tree popped into his mind.
Coming up to the door, Sasuke sighed. He had to talk to her some time. The Uchiha Sasuke would not runaway from anyone! Especially a teammate that's had a crush on him since they were twelve, probably even before that! Closing his obsidian orbs the Uchiha muttered a silent curse as he knocked softly on the door.
He heard some shuffling from inside the house and a feminine voice cursing a box she must have tripped over. Stuffing his hands in his pockets, Sasuke immediately regretted his decision to come over in the first place. But he didn't have time to back out of the choice as Sakura opened the door.
"S-Sasuke!" she stammered out, her face completely red. Sasuke nodded a greeting. The pink haired kunoichi then stepped aside to allow the boy room to enter. The only child of the Harunos shut the door softly, her cheeks a bright pink that put her hair to shame as she asked, "You want something to drink or eat? I-I don't h-have much but I can g-get you something." The Uchiha shook his head no and said, "We have other things to talk about."
"KAKASHI-SENSEI!" The silver haired ninja popped his head out of the door just as a tanned fist was about to make contact with the door. The copy-nin then sighed and muttered, "What do you want at this time, Naruto?" The whiskered ninja then stormed inside the house, without Kakashi's permission, as the teen raged, "Something is up with our two other teammates! Sasuke doesn't pay attention to me, and Sakura is always flushed when Sasuke is mentioned!"
Kakashi groaned and queried, "When has she not been red when Sasuke was around, and when has Sasuke not ignored you?" The Kyuubi's wielder crossed his arms over his chest and furrowed his brows. "Not HELPING!" Naruto stated angrily. The gray haired man then shrugged saying, "Maybe he's interested in our little cherry blossom. He might be trying to complete his second goal, you know." Naruto made a disgusted face and mumbled, "Don't give me images."
Sakura was now wrapped up in a dark blue blanket sitting on the couch beside Sasuke. Silence had enfolded them and the Uchiha almost forgot what he had come over to talk about in the first place. The TV was flickering on and off due to the blizzard that was occurring just outside.
"I guess I should get the radio," Sakura stated getting up from her spot on the couch and into the kitchen for her radio. The raven haired man in the living room closed his eyes, patiently waiting for the female he'd come to see in the first place. When his teammate entered the room, a slightly small, pink radio was cradled in her small arms.
The Uchiha heir watched amused as she fiddled with the cords, trying to hook the radio up. Finally finished with her battle with the plug-in, Sakura adjusted the antenna and turned it onto the only station that she could pick up.
"Due to the horrible weather outside, we advise everyone to stay indoors and not venture out. All roads are closed tonight and most likely tomorrow. Happy holidays to you all!"
The emerald eyed kunoichi frowned at the news and turned to Sasuke. The Uchiha was deep in thought and finally he spoke up, "I guess I'll be staying here tonight if you don't mind." Sakura immediately went red again and shook her head. "N-no, it's fine with me. S-stay as l-long as you like." Sasuke quirked a brow but didn't say anything else.
"Oh yeah, you said you needed to talk to me!" Sakura stated excitedly, with a tint of nervousness. Sasuke nodded but his gaze was directed at something else. "It's about… last night." The female ninja looked over at her companion with a surprised expression written all over her face. She then choked out, "Wh-what do you mean by 'last night'?"
The highly skilled ninja then sighed saying, "I mean that what happened really shouldn't have." Sakura lowered her head disappointed. Sasuke also noticed this and he placed his forehead against hers. "I don't want anything to happen that could change our friendship."
Sakura pulled away from him and whispered, "Do you remember that night when you left?" He nodded and she took this as a sign to continue, "I told you I loved you, Sasuke. That will never change either. What happened last night wasn't a bad thing at all. We both wanted that, both you and me." Jade eyes gazed deeply into his own pools of black.
Sasuke was about to say something else, but he seemed to decided against it as he closed his mouth. His female companion hugged him to her as she murmured into his hair, "You're not alone anymore, Sasuke. You don't have to hide things from Kakashi, Naruto, and me. We care deeply about you, especially me." Sakura clamped her mouth shut, completely embarrassed about what she said.
The Uchiha smirked and placed his forehead against hers once more. "Maybe this time, we should take it slower." Sakura's pale complexion was graced with that pretty red tint again as she shyly moved away from the boy she had loved for so long. "You want something to drink now?" Sasuke rolled his eyes heavenward and nodded.
"Naruto, it's not that bad!"
"Yes, it is! I'm going to be scarred for life!"
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever."
The silver haired man sighed as he ran a hand through his pewter colored hair. He had only suggested that Naruto get Sasuke to spill about all the details with his night at the cherry blossom's place. At the thought Naruto had run full speed to the bathroom and made gagging noises. It wasn't that bad.
The jonin then opened up his favorite perverted book and read, giggling most of the time. He figured he'd have a while before Naruto came out of the bathroom. Oh, how wrong he was. "Okay, sensei, I've decided to-" The blond haired boy took one look at the book and immediately went green again. "Drama queen," Kakashi muttered flicking through the book once again.
Sasuke yawned and looked at the small kunoichi in his arms. She was sitting upon his lap and her head rested against his shoulders. He watched with mild interest as she used her spoon to move around the marshmallows in her hot chocolate. He then noticed that she grew tired of watching the sponge-like candy dissolve in the heated liquid.
"Mmm…" Sakura moaned into his shirt. "I'm tired," the girl then murmured, her jade eyes glancing up to his face. Sasuke rolled his eyes and then stated, "I hope you don't mind the couch. My legs fell asleep." The cherry blossom smiled into his shirt and she answered, "The couch is just fine, Sasuke." The raven haired Uchiha stroked her cheek and brushed the roseate locks of hair from her face.
Maybe this Christmas turned out better than planned. From the wonderful events of the night before and the event that happened just a few minutes ago. He'd gotten his Christmas wish in the end. Well, the first part of it. And maybe if the storm was still present tomorrow, he'd get his second wish. After all, he'd been a good boy that year.
As he shifted Sakura's weight he heard the radio play a song that was eerily right for his current situation. Smirking Sasuke rested his head against the arm rest, holding his pink haired kunoichi tightly to him.
'I don't want a lot for Christmas.
There is just one thing I need.
I don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree.
I just want you for my own. More than you could ever know.
Make my wish come true.
Baby all I want for Christmas is you'
"I still can't believe you're doing this," The whiskered blonde said, his face scrunched up as if he were disgusted. The silver haired ex-ANBU member silenced his student and stated, "This is a once in a lifetime thing!"
The fox boy sulked as he shivered from the cold. What person in their right mind would stand outside in this type of weather? He knew that Kakashi was crazy like this, but Jiraiya he didn't get! Okay, so maybe he did, but did they have to bring along the young Uzumaki!
"Well, Kakashi! You sure have pulled through for me! Bringing up your students like that! This story you told me is perfect for a new holiday issue of Icha Icha Paradise!" Kakashi smiled smugly to himself and said, "But don't forget to make it more smutty!" Jiraiya smirked evilly as he rubbed his hands together. Naruto could have sworn that the old perverted ninja was a madman!
"Well, we must start right away! We can get it out before New Years! Two stories in one! A Christmas edition and a New Years special!" Naruto sighed and his breath was visible in the chilly air. "But won't the bastard and Sakura be a little bit mad that their private life was exposed?" Kakashi and Jiraiya both looked at the blonde as if he were crazy! In unison they both replied, "No, and don't care!" The blonde slapped his forehead frustrated. Pathetic.
A/N: After much thought and consideration, I decided to write this chapter. I decided to add the others in this chapter. OMG! I can just picture what that holiday special of Icha Icha is going to be like. Frightening! I might have to write a spin-off to this story about our favorite couple getting a hold on that certain volume! A race across Fire Country to prevent people from reading the edition! Maybe if I have time that is! LOL!
I hope you liked this chapter. I was trying hard to answer your requests! If it isn't what you expected, I'm sorry! I was trying to get it out before Christmas! Five days early! Woohoo! I made the deadline! Maybe I'll write up a special Valentines fiction for you good reviewers! Keep looking out for other stories by me, especially a new humorous SasuSaku one called "Conspiracy Theory"!
Happy Holidays! Love you all!
