Blue Christmas

Chapter 9 “The Gift From a Teme”

“Okay Blue Eyes what’s the matter?”

“Nothing’s the matter Emerald why?”

“That is the tenth sigh you sighed in an hour.” Sukora stated as she sprinkled chocolate into the hot milk.

“That and he is basting the plastic plant with orange juice.” Rin giggled.

“What? Oh shit!” The blond teen snapped out of his daze in time to see Rin was right. He had been basting the plastic plant in juice instead of the turkey. He growled as he returned the turkey back to oven after it was properly basted.

“It looks like he has man troubles girls.” Haku said as he continued to mix the batter for the Christmas cake.

“Hey you, Iruka-sensei, Sai and I are Guys!” Izumo shouted.

“We’re all Ukes so it’s the same thing.” Haku sang swinging his hips as the others blushed and Sai gave a rare smirk.

“I have to agree with Haku, we bitches always end up in the kitchens so there is no point in denying it.”

“Sai quit yapping and more frosting on those cookies! Now back to Naruto and his Man trouble.”

“Haku I don’t have man troubles. I don’t have a man and if I did who says I won’t be Seme?” competition

“Because you are as dickless as the come. You are a Bottom-Bitch just like the rest of us! So give up the Seme act.” Sai chipped with a fake smile.

“Who’s a Bottom-Bitch?” a voice suddenly shouted as the kitchen door burst open. “I knew we should have left sooner. Damn it Raido you made me miss good sex gossip!”

“Genma-sensei? What are you doing here?” Iruka asked shocked to he his fellow teacher at Rasengan.

“Well Raido’s parents are touring Europe for the holidays and you know my folks hate me so it was going to be a lonely Christmas for us until Uzumaki and his sweet Chibi Brother invited us over. How could we refuse?”

“Where is Raido-sensei, Genma-sensei?” Naruto asked as he helped Kurenai shuck corn.

“Oh he’s putting out bags up in Iruka and Kakashi’s apartment.”

“I glad you found Rasengan alright I was worried when you guys said you were going to be late.” Naruto smiled. Things weren’t going to well with his teachers and he cooked this little scheme with his drama teacher. They were maneuvering the two into close quarters so they would have to at least talk to one another.

“That was my… I mean Raido’s fault. He woke up with extra Christmas Spirit and just wouldn’t let me out of bed.” Genma giggled. “But enough about my sex life what did I miss? Who is the Uke in denial?”

“Dickless.” Sai smiled at the teacher’s confused face.

“Sai means Naruto. Hi I’m Haku welcome to the Kitchen Crew. We are the girls and Uke’s of Rasengan. You know Iruka and Naruto and this Hot Chocolate Princess is Sukora, The Veggie Queen is Kurenai, The Cookie Ukes are Sai and Izumo. Then we have the goddess of Cranberries Rin and the Mother of all us Shizune making the Egg Nogg. Welcome to Rasengan grab a spoon and get to work. We got Christmas eve dinner to get on the table and preparing tomorrows feast to get done.”

“Wow Two days of eating? How do you all stay so thin?”

“Emerald Staves us all year long.” Izumo received a marshmallow in the eye for his comment.

“It’s just once a year besides we are getting off the subject we have a love struck teen who is also suffering Uke denial.” Rin laughed.

“I was hoping that would forget about that. There is nothing to discuss because there is no crush.” Naruto growled.


“Now we have just seen the great ship Naruto take sail down the river Denial.” Kurenai smiled. There was a lot of laughter at the blond teen’s expense but he knew they were right. He was drawn to Sasuke but it wasn’t love yet, but it was something that could be love if given the chance.

“This Denial crush wouldn’t happen to me Uchiha-san would it?” Genma asked as he put on an apron.

“What?! How could you know that?”

“Dear Uzumaki-kun the Teachers have a pool going on when you are either going kill each other or start dating. My money is snogging after a heated fight in the locker room.” The drama teacher explained as the Naruto turned beet red.

“Genma-sensei, how come I didn’t know about this?” The still slightly hung-over English Teacher bristled.

“No titles its Christmas Iruka-kun and we didn’t tell you because you have a soft spot for Uzumaki-kun like a mother fox over her kit.” Genma teased watching The English turn red with anger or embarrassment he didn’t know but it was fun to see.

“That is not the least but funny betting on Student’s Lives!” Iruka shouted before he took the tray of appetizers to the guys in the Family room.

“He only says that because he doesn’t know about the bets on him and Kakashi.” Genma whispered and everyone laughed. “But enough about that what are you going to do about Uchiha-san?”

“Please sensei no titles call me Naruto and there is nothing to do about Sasuke-Teme. Kyuubi comes first and I can’t have a relationship let alone with a boy. Principle Utatane will use any excuse to take my brother away from me and I won’t give it to her.” The whiskered teen sighed. He was comforted slightly by the reappearance of his English teacher. Iruka became like a big brother and was there for him when he felt he had no one to understand what he was going through.

“I remember she taught at my high school when I was just a sophomore. That was when I discovered my taste for men and she found me snogging a senior in an empty class room. She called both of our parents, who all went ballistic, then she had an assembly on the evils of sex and outted me in front off the whole school. Needless to say my life was hell after that. I was moved to a new school then I was sent counselors and therapy to de-gay me. Then once all that stuff failed they disowned me and I ran off with my Raido. She is like bulldog and looks like one too.”

“Itachi-san said I could avoid her if I transferred Kyuubi to Konoha. As much as I want to I don’t want to look like I’m running from her but I also don’t want to lose my brother.” Naruto was so frustrated he was mashing the potatoes with a vengeance.

“We won’t let that happen, Naruto. Kyuubi belongs here with us because we’re his family.” Izumo exclaimed.

“He’s right Blue Eyes. That witch won’t take the Kitsune away. I think that the elder Uchiha is right you should move him to the privet school. We can raise the money for the school if we need too.” Sukora reply as she set the hot mugs of hot chocolate on the table just in time for Konohamaru come in and take it out to the crowd.

“There is no need for that Emerald, Sasuke and Itachi-san’s Uncle offered a scholarship for him to go to Konoha until he qualifies for high school division. I don’t know though I just don’t want Kyuubi to see me as weak by running.”

“Naruto-san your brother would be safer at Konoha and he would see you doing your best for him. You are not actually running you are fighting the bitch at her own game. She knows that she has you over a barrel while she has him in her school. She has always been on a High moral campaign. If she can prove her point she going to do it and not care that she is hurting to hurt you and your brother. If you can move him than do it show that bitch she can’t hurt you.”

“I guess you have a point Genma-san, I really can’t afford another legal battle. My trust is almost empty and I refuse to touch Kyuubi’s trust. He’ll need that when he goes to college.”

“That’s our Noble Naruto.” Rin smiled.

“We are family and we’ll get through this together.” Shizune smiled handing little Suki into the teens arms and took the abused Potatoes away.

“Now that issue is out of the way let’s get back to his wet dreams over the rich Seme.”

“SAI!” everyone shouted at the emotionally stunned teen.

XxXxXxXx

“Sasuke-nii-chan?”

Sasuke was busy searching the internet looking for the perfect gift for his Dobe but was having no luck. He was shocked when his attention pulled away by his two little cousins. Kyuubi’s appearance had made huge difference in their lives. He hoped Naruto would put his brother in Konoha Elementary it would be the best thing for the twins that had suffered a terrible trauma.

“What is it Obito, Tobi?”

“We would like to get a gift.”

“For our friend, Kyuubi-kun.” Sasuke had to smile at the perfect manners and diction of the twins. They were indeed Uchiha’s to the core.

“Really, that is a coincidence I am looking for a gift for my friend Naruto. What do you have in mind?”

“We asked Father for our Allowances.”

“He said we can go with you to the Mall.”

“It will be crowded and busy. After all it is Christmas Eve.” The Elder Uchiha said seriously knowing that the crowds might overwhelm the chibis.

“We understand.” They chorused with a slight tremble to their voices. He had to admire their courage and determination. This was all thanks to Kyuubi,

“Very well then go get your coats on and I will meet you at the front door.”

“Hai!” the two chibis ran off with little smirks to their faces.

“That was very generous of you Otouto.”

“Damn It Itachi! Why the hell are you always sneaking up on me?”

“Because it entertains me to see you shaken up.” Itachi smirked at his glaring sibling. “So you are taking the Twins shopping that should be interesting. It shouldn’t be hard seeing how the twins have a 5,000 dollar limit each on their credit cards. I’m sure that they will find something for their friend. The question is will you find something for your friend?”

“I don’t know. I’m not finding anything on the internet. I might have better luck with the stores. I’m taking your H2.” Sasuke announced as he grabbed his jacket.

“Why Yes Sasuke you may borrow my car.” Itachi said ignoring his brother rolling his eyes. “I do have an idea that might help you with your gift hunt. This Time of year is for memories for Naruto. They can be warm and happy but they can also be painful and hurt him so chooses your gift with care.”

Sasuke glared at his brother as he walked pasted the older Uchiha. He was glaring mostly because he knew his brother was right. The Chibis were ready and waiting with their father by the door when he cam down the stairs. His unlce handed him the Credit cards and also asked to get Uzumaki a gift from him as well to show his appreciation for his kindness towards his twins. This was going to be a long day but being Uchihas they would not fail at their task. Once the twins were buckled in their car seats He climbed into the Hummer and drove off to the Mall.

“So Kakashi-san, how has your Christmas been so far?”

“Better than I expected Raido-san. Naruto-kun and little Kyuubi-kun have been great hosts.” Kakashi said as he smiled through his mask.

“That’s our Naruto, he’s a good kid and Land Lord.” Asuma smiled.

“He has even fixed the pluming while we were gone.” Kabuto smiled as he took Asuma’s cigarette and put it out. “Asuma-san no smoking in the family rooms it’s not good a baby’s developing lungs.”

“Yeah Asuma-san! You got to listen to the Doctor.” A Loud voice shouted making the room turn toward the door. “Merry Christmas everyone!”

“Merry Christmas! Jiraiya-sama what are you doing here?” Kakashi asked surprised to see his mentor at the Uzumaki residents.

“Why to see my godson of course. Usually after our Christmas drink I’d drop you off and my sister would drag me and my cross dressing brother here for dinner. Since you changed plans this plans this year I am forced to spend it with said sister and brother.”

“Shut up Jiraiya, and I’m not a cross dresser!” hissed the tall pale Biology teacher. The Sanin siblings were the strangest family anyone would ever meet. Their Father was a lustrous man who never had a lover longer that a week. He somehow got three different women pregnant, each a year a part and all the mothers didn’t want the babies and dumped them on the bastard who knocked them up. “And it was not my choice to spend this holiday with the likes of you but my plans fell through to leave this snow covered hell.”

“Yes, it was your Young lovers fault for breaking his leg so you both couldn’t fly off to Tahiti.” Jiraiya smirked.

“No it’s Tsunade’s! She busted into our home and said we either stay for Christmas or she would break our legs. Kimimaro told her to Fuck off and she broke his leg!!”

“And I’ll do it again if you dare to miss Christmas. This is a time to be with family and you are going to spend it with family or else.” Tsunade scolded her younger brother as he cowered behind their older brother. “Now if that’s settled I’ll join the girls and leave you men to make fools out of yourselves.”

“Why can’t we killer again?” hissed Orochimaru.

“She’s our sister and we love her or at least that’s the shit she keeps shouting at us every year.” The white haired man growled. The Rasengan Men all chuckled at the antics of the Sanin Siblings. They went through this very year but for the teachers this was totally shocking. Around Konoha everyone knew The Biology teach did not get along with the Principle and Vice-Principal. In fact they believe they all hated each other with a passion.

“Merry Christmas, Uncle Oro!” Kyuubi ran up to the mean and Nasty Biology teacher and hugged him.

“Merry Christmas, Kyuubi-Kun. Have you best studying the book on snakes that I gave you?” Orochimaru asked as he scooped up the whiskered chibi and smiled. This had Raido and Kakashi believing that they were hallucinating.

“Yes Uncle Oro. I even showed it to My Best Friends, Tobi-chan and Obito-chan, they liked it too.”

“That’s good. You need to study hard if you want to go to Konoha like Naruto-kun.”

“I will!” The Chibi gave Orochimaru a hug before jumping down and running off with the older kids.

“You spoil him.” Jiraiya grumbled.

“No more than you Spoil you godson.”

“Fine we’re both guilty for spoiling our godchildren. So Kakashi any luck with the English teacher?”

“No. He is still rejecting me.” The Masked art sighed as he slumped on the couch.

“Did you try the line I gave you? You know the one about the happy elf going to the North Pole?”

“Oh no! You’re not taking advice taking advice from this pervert are you?” Orochimaru said in disgust as he poured the sake.

“Well I…”

“You never asked a straight man, how to pick up a gay man, especially one who can’t even pick up women. So you have a thing for Iruka-sensei? I can tell you that he is an intelligent young man and he respects honesty. He is one of the few Staff members that I can respect and tolerate. Any line this old toad gives you is sure to get you rejected.”

“That’s what Sasuke said. I’m doomed.” Kakashi whined.

“I always knew Uchiha-san was a genius.” the Biology teacher smirked. Everyone knew that Sasuke was his star student and was favored above all the others.

“Orochimaru-sensei and Sasuke-san are right Kakashi-san.” Raido shook off his stupor and sat beside his friend and colleague. “Iruka-san is a quiet and reserve person maybe you should try getting to know him first.”

“I try but I get so nervous that I say the first thing that comes to mind.”

“Then you’re in trouble Kakashi-san.” Pein chuckled as he took his turn at the pool table. Once he sunk the 10 ball in the side pocket he turned back to crowd of older men. “Emerald talked to Iruka-sensei last night and your mouth is what stops him from getting closer to you.”

“I also noticed that he was uncertain of you and your intentions.” Sasori said as he chalked his cue. “I also noticed that the confusion and uncertainty caused him to consume over half the bar last night.”

Kakashi stared around the room in speechlessness. He had never really had anyone point out his flaws before. Well Naruto had but he was a student and supposed to be a bias opinion because he was close to Iruka. And Sasuke didn’t count because he was an Uchiha, What do they know about emotions. It seems now that they weren’t the only ones to find him flawed. If this room full of Strangers and colleagues could easily point out his defect than he knew it was time to change.

“Okay what do I need to do? I really want Iruka to see me for me.”

“Well first thing anything Jiraiya taught you for get it.” Ibiki growled. He wasn’t and expert on romance he left that to his daughter, as long as it wasn’t her doing the romancing with some punk, but even he could see how messed up the young teacher was.

“Next you got to stop acting like a desperate Uke and start acting like a Seme.” Zabuza snarled. If it was one thing the ex-mercenary couldn’t stand it was signs of weakness.

“Have No fear Kakashi-sensei we’ll have you dominating that Uke in no time.” Kotetsu Smirked. The Art teacher didn’t know whether to be happy or frighten. One thing was for sure it was going to be a very long night.

XxXxXxXxXxXx

The crowds were busy but not too terrible mostly because the Three Uchihas decided that they would for go the toys for more practical gifts. Sasuke kept a constant eye on the twins for any sign of distress. They were holding up well but any sign of the twins discomfort and he would have them out of there so fast you think they vanished to the air.

“What do you think that Kyuubi-san would like?”

“We are not sure?” Tobi said sadly.

“We just want to see him happy.” Obito replied.

“I think I have and idea you have a computer right? Why don’t we him one so you can see him on the web cam. We should get one for the Dobe too as a thank you for letting us stay at his place.”

“Hai!” The Twins grinned. “Huh… What is the Dobe?”

“Never mind, let’s go over to the electronics.” Sasuke guided the chibis through the crowed to the department with all the electronics. He still had no idea what to get his Dobe. He knew so little about the blond he despaired in finding a gift let alone the right gift. They purchased two nice laptop Notebooks both with built in web cams and Parental control for Kyuubi’s. Tobi and Obito were happy with their gifts but worried as their cousin had yet to find a gift for his Dobe what ever that was.

The spent at lest three hours in lines and looking through the mall and Still nothing. He started to Move the chibis toward the parking lot. He knew that they were getting tired despite their stubborn denial. They made their way through the crowds and the elder Uchiha’s mood seemed to darken with every step but then something caught the corner of his eye. He stopped in front of the huge display window and a smile slowly grew on his face. Tobi and Obito noticed their Nii-san had stopped. And the hurried back to see what had caught his interest.

“Wow.” The twins’ eyes widen in amazement.

“It’s cool.” Obito said.

“It’s big!” Tobi replied.

“It’s perfect.” Sasuke smirked before taking the twins into the store.

XxXxXxXx

“Okay dinner is severed!” Shizune announced but was ignored in favor of the indoor football game going on. “Hey! Dinner is ready!” She tried again but no one heard.

“Let Me Shizune.” Sukora said softy to the new mother before letting out an Ear piercing whistle. “HEY BOYS FOODS DONE COME AND GET IT!”

Soon the Pianist was pulling Shizune out of the way of the stamped of Rasengan males. The two just laughed as this happened every year. The Guys turned into little boys with black holes for appetites. Everyone was smile and chatting as sat and settled down into their seats. Hiruzen Sarutobi stood at the head of the long table behind his usual seat and smiled at his Family.

“Well everyone the dinner looks great. I think the dinner crew has out done themselves more than last year. We have new faces among us this year. I hope this rowdy bunch has made you feel welcomed and not scared you off. I hope that you all will stay part of our family here at Rasengan.” Everyone chuckles or in Orochimaru’s case smirked. “And Tsunade no more of you beating up Kimimaro.

“He deserved it they weren’t going to come for Christmas if I didn’t break his leg.”

“Shows how much you know we were coming for dinner and leaving the day after Christmas.” Orochimaru hissed.

“But he said you were leaving!”

“See Tsunade you didn’t let him finish and now Kimimaro is in the hospital instead of here.” The old professor scolded gently at the now blushing blond. “Despite these misunderstandings; another year has gone by and we look forward to the New Year. We may not all be of the same blood but we all are family. Rasengan is more than just a building it’s our home. With every life lost there is a life that is born. This year we have lost my son and your brother Iashi. He gave his life for Fire Country saving others and doing this Family proud. He was a good father and a talented fireman so we will miss him and morn his loss. This year we also have new life with the birth of little Suki Yakushi. Every life is a miracle and we welcome this miracle with open arms into our family. This year has been trying yet joyous and has made our family stronger. So here is to a new year and what ever awaits us let us grow stronger and closer together. Merry Christmas!” Hiruzen lifted his glass and toasted his Rasengan Family.

“Merry Christmas!” Everyone cheered with their glasses held high.

“Now let’s eat.” The girls had tears in their eyes and the guys had sad smiles as they were all moved by the old man’s speech. He then took his seat and the room was once again taken up with chatter.

Iruka was seated next to Kakashi and rolled his eyes at the mask wearing man. Genma and Raido were seated across from them but were engaged in conversation with some of the Rasengan family. Genma had hit it off with Sai of all people and were trying to see who could make the most sexual innuendos. Raido seem to be in deep conversation with Pein. It seemed that the metal face teen had a brilliant mind but was not taken seriously do to the piercings and punk fashion.

“Kakashi take off that mask.” Iruka hissed

“Sorry Sensei I could hear you.”

“I said take of the mask it’s rude to wear it at the dinner table.”

“But I already finished Iruka-sensei.”

“How?” Iruka had to do a double take. Kakashi’s plate that had been full moments ago was now empty and licked clean. “Did you even taste it?”

“Yes and it was very delicious.” The art teacher smiled even though you couldn’t see it.

“Do you ever take that mask off?”

“Of course I do.” And he said nothing more. Iruka was puzzled with the short answer but it looks like he wouldn’t get any more out of the masked man. But before he could respond there was a loud knock at the Rec room door.

“Who’s that?” Zetsu asked.

“I’ll get it!” Konohamaru shouted jumping up and running to the door.

“Is Naruto Uzumaki here? We tried the apartment but there was no answer.” the Tall man in a delivery uniform asked.

“That’s me. Can I help you?” Naruto asked as he came up behind Konohamaru.

“You can sign this. We have two deliveries for you.” The man said handing the whiskered faced teen the clipboard.

“Deliveries? But I didn’t order anything.” Naruto said as he signed the clipboard.

“Their gifts.” Was all the man said as he took back the clipboard and hand Naruto Three cards. “Okay boy bring it.”

By now the whole Rasengan family was gathered around the living room half of the Rec room. Two delivery guys brought in a huge wrapped package and the fist delivery guy left and return again with two large brightly wrapped gifts. Kyuubi was glued to his brother’s side as the delivery man hand Naruto the shiny presents. Once the men had left Naruto was still speechless and seemed to be in shock.

“Aniki?”

“Huh? Oh!! Here Konohamaru take these and put them under the tree.” He handed the gifts to the preteen and looked at the cards in hand. One was addressed to him on one to Kyuubi and one was addressed to ‘Dobe’. “Here it looks like the Uchihas wanted to say Merry Christmas.”

“Really?” the chibi’s face lit up as he tore open the card. “It’s from Tobi-chan and Obito-chan! Can I open the present now?”

“No Kitsune not yet I think Blue Eyes needs to open his first.” Sukora smiled. “How about it, Blue Eyes?”

“Uh… Yeah let’s see what the Uchiha sent.” Naruto went to the huge brown paper wrapped gifted. By the shape of it seemed to be a painting but why would Teme send him a painting? He reached up and ripped the paper away and then stood back in awe. Tears began to form in his eyes. ‘The bastard was actually listening to me.’

Flashback *~*~*~*~*~*~*

“Hey Kyuubi is an unusual name. What does it mean?” The Raven was trying for conversation while he worked on preparing the salad and the blond worked on the main dinner.

“Nine tails. My mother loved Japanese mythology. She found a rarely known Myth about the birth of Fire Country. There was once a Powerful Demon by the name of Kyuubi no Kitsune. It was a Nine-tailed Fox that wielded the power of fire and burned up the land until a Powerful Shinobi gave his life to Seal the Demon into his only Child. The child grew up hated by the villagers for having the demon sealed in side of him but he grew up to be a very kind and loving man. He brought the nations together and became the leader of Fire Country. He made peace with the demon and guarded him. In return the Kyuubi gave the Shinobi his power to protect the village that had once scorned. They were a powerful friends and allies till the end of the Shinobi’s life when they both received Kami’s forgiveness for their mortal sins and that their hero’s place in the stars.” Naruto’s voice was so soft while he recited the story that his mother a thousand times. He really didn’t think the bastard was listening but he knew that Sasuke was at least trying to be sociable. The least he could do was try in return even if the guy was a bastard to him at school.

“What was his name, the Shinobi that held the Demon?” Naruto didn’t see that Sasuke had staring at the blond lost in the tale he had been waving.

“Naruto.”

Flashback *~*~*~*~*~*~*

“Damn Teme” Naruto muttered as stared at the painting. It was The Nine Tailed Demon Kyuubi no Kitsune. The fiery tails filled the canvas as framing the fox and standing between the two front paws of the fox was a blond man dress in orange and black wearing head band with a leaf on it.

“Aniki! That’s you and me!” Kyuubi cheered.

“Yeah chibi it is.”
