Looking at her opponent, Kaede had cold sweat flowing from her forehead
"Damn... I can't win this..." She said with a very annoyed face
"Hehe, I told you I was good at this Kaede-chan" Shizue answered with a smile
'What are you on about Shizu? your hand is worse than the worst hand I ever saw before... but Hinata has two pairs, and even Tenten has a three of a kind... the only one with only a pair besides me is Ino...'
"Damn it..." Kaede sighed
revealing their cards, as Kaede saw with her Jogan, Shizue had the worst cards of the entire deck..,
"Ehh..." Shizue with a confused face, could not help but be surprised that everyone was better than her at the game...
"Indeed, too good for me to comprehend Shizu..." Kaede mocked, her sad face of someone who was going to lose, undoing itself as fast as Naruto could eat a whole ramen bowl... almost instantly
"hehe... I... Uh..." Shizue couldn't say anything, losing so badly was very shameful for her
"Can we play something else already? this is getting boring..." Tenten asked.
"Uhm? why don't we go see the others and start the party already? it is almost time already, isn't it?" Kaede asked
"Okay, that sounds good" Ino said, not really a fan of card games, as if it wasn't enough having to see Shikamaru and Asuma play shogi every damn time they can...
"Where did they say they would be at?" Kaede asked
"...at Shikamaru's place... didn't you hear when they explained it Kaede?" Shizue asked, uncertain
"Oh... nah, I had better things to pay attention to" Kaede said
"Like what?" Shizue asked, her curiosity getting the better of her
"Hinata's face when she was looking at Naruto..." Kaede said
"KAEDE!" Hinata exclaimed with a red face
"Oh! I see... it was indeed distracting, I found it so cute! But I had to pay attention to them talking, sadly. Or else I would have hugged her, because she was too cute at that time" Shizue said, regretfully
"SHIZUE-SAN!" Hinata exclaimed, even redder than before
"Well, I will go find Touka and Blizzard and then meet you all at Shikamaru's place, I will be there in a flash" Kaede said as she flickered away at incredible speeds
"Well, then let's go. We all know how fast she is, if we are late we may not see all the cuteness of Blizzard-chan and Touka-chan!" With her hands on her hips, making a pose, Shizue said as if she was talking about the most important thing of all
"""Hai...""" Everyone answered with a bored look, already having seen Shizue's... strange obsession with cute things
-=-
"You are nyall late!" Touka said as soon as she saw the girls
"..." Blizzard as always, remained quiet
"Shizu, you all took too long, we are waiting for five minutes already!" Kaede said with a annoyed face
"EEHHHH!?" Shizue exclaimed shocked
"Kaede... you went to find them 3 minutes ago..." Hinata said
"Damnit Hinata! Let me annoy Shizu in peace!" Kaede said with a annoyed look, this time for real
"Wait, you what?" Shizue exclaimed
"No" Hinata answered with a smirk, she had to endure Kaede's teasing for two weeks after they met that day, so now this was her way of getting back at her
"Tch" Kaede turned her head away
"Sigh... you three... let's enter already" Tenten sighed
"...fine" Kaede said as she made her way to the door
"Wait, what did you said just now Kaede-chan?" Shizue asked
"Nyathing (Nothing)" Touka covered for Kaede
"..." And by Shizue's face, it worked like a charm
'So cuuuuteeeee!' she screamed internally.
Approaching the door, Kaede noticed it wasn't locked
'I know his parents are with the other jonins, but shouldn't he lock the door? kids...'
Kaede pushed the door, and as it opened there was only one thing everyone thought at the same time
'WHAT IN THE ACTUAL ####??????'
Kakashi, Sasuke, Naruto, Shikamaru, Choji, Kiba, Neji and Lee all with only a little amount of clothes covering them, a lot of clothes all around the floor, and a deck of cards on the middle of the room, only Shino was still fully covered, but probably that was because of his insects, not the game
'They are playing strip-poker? at Christmas? really?' Kaede thought with a blank face ( -_- )
'What is Kakashi doing?' Shizue screamed internally, as she is 90% sure he is responsible for this
''W-what?'' Tenten and Ino though at the same time, though Ino was staring at Sasuke
'W-W-W-W-W-W-WHA-WH-WHAT!?!?!??!' Hinata stuttered mentally (is that even possible?) while covering her face with both hands, tough her eye wasn't very covered
...
"Uhh, That isn't what you think" Kakashi said with a pale face while looking at Shizue, who had a very dangerous face
Everyone was ashamed right now, even Kiba who normally wasn't going to be bothered by this
"Oh really Kakashi?" Shizue asked as she started to approach Kakashi
"(Hoo?) Wh-Why are you coming closer?" Kakashi asked while moving backwards bit by bit
"If I don't, then how can I beat the #### out of you?" Shizue answered
'Is that a jojo reference?' Kaede looked at Shizue surprised
"Wait!Wait!" Kakashi tried to run, but how could he do that in a comedy episode?
"KA.KA.SHIIIIIIIIII!" Shizue propelled herself with fire and punched Kakashi's face with all her might
*BANG*
'Ouch... I don't really feel bad for him, but ouch' Kaede thought
-=-
A bit later, the now clothed boys, the girls and the two adults, though one of them had a full swollen face, we're sitting in a circle, ready to start their 'party'
"Okay, so who starts?" Shizue asked with a sweet smile, as if she didn't just punch Kakashi until not even his closest friend Guy could recognize him
(A/N: Okay, a little context here, in Brazil we call secret santa as 'Amigo oculto' which means, occult friend, occult as in secret, okay?
So, here we give hints about who we took to give the gift, it is a little game
I don't know how it is in your countries, so I explained this here ok?)
"I can start" Kaede said
"Okay then. Kaede-chan will start!" Shizue clapped her hands with a happy smile
"Okay then, My secret santa is someone cute" Kaede gave the first hint
'I-It couldn't be me, right?' Sasuke thought
'It definitely isn't me. if it was me she would say that it is someone VERY COOL instead' Naruto thought while nodding to himself
"Is it me?" Lee asked hopeful
"I said CUTE, not CREEP" Kaede's words re-opened Lee's scars
"I can think of 3 people... give another hint" Shizue said
"Okay then, It is someone who is a little stalker"
"Wha?" Hinata asked
"Oh, It is Hinata then..." Shizue said, Sure about her answer
"Shizue-san?" Hinata asked, having been 'betrayed' by Shizue twice this day
"Well, here it is then" Kaede gave a box to Hinata
"BUT I AM NOT A STALKER!" Hinata argued
"Ohh? You want me to tell them about that time I saw you-"
"Stop Stop" Hinata stopped Kaede, using a hand to cover her mouth, her face very red
"Just open it already Hinata, I want to know who is going to give me a present!" Naruto said
"Okay... it is a... a eye patch? I never saw one of these before..." Hinata opened her gift
"Of course you didn't, I made it myself!" Kaede said smugly
"As expected of Kaede-sama! A wonderful giftnya!" Touka as always, idolized Kaede's actions
"Thanks, Kaede! These wrappings were very inconvenient..." Hinata closed her eye, and begun to remove her wrappings, then put the eye patch on
"You look awesome Hinata" Naruto said, as a kid he is very impressionable.
"You still look cute, though" Kaede added
"KAEDE!" Hinata exclaimed, embarrassed
"Your turn" Shizue remembered her
"Oh, Okay. My secret santa is someone... energetic"
"Not me, Not Lazymaru nor Sasuke... Kakashi even less... remains Shizu, Naruto, Touka, Kiba, Lee, Tenten and Ino..." Kaede said in a bored tone
Everyone could only nod in helplessness, Kaede had some moments like that...
"Okay then, next hint Hinata-chan?" Shizue asked
"Uh... it is someone that has something to do with animals" Hinata said
"Is it m-" Kiba was cut mid sentence by Kaede
"It is Touka then"
"What? Why can't it be me?" Kiba asked annoyed
"Hinata is in your team, if it was you she would say that it is someone who stinks" Kaede said in a matter of fact way
"Pffft" Some people tried to keep their laugh in check, key word being tried
"Hahahaha, that is right you stinky dog hahaha" Naruto was rolling on the ground holding his stomach while laughing
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!?" Kiba screamed in annoyance
"Stop screaming Kiba, that was just a joke..." Kakashi said, annoyed because Kiba was screaming too loudly, and he was trying to read
"Here, Touka-san" Hinata gave touka a little box
"Thanks-nya!" Opening the box, Touka found a falling star hair clip
"I like it! Putting it on immediately, Touka said with a smile
"Gah" 'So cute!' Shizue was hit by a cuteness overload
"That looks good on you Touka" Kaede complimented
"Nyahaha! since even Kaede-sama liked it, I thank you Hinata-san" Touka laughed loudly
"Uh, you are welcome..." Only Hinata to answer someone so formally...
"My turn! The one I took wears green!" Touka didn't even wait for Shizue to tell her to continue
"It could be me... it could also not be...' (That rhymes!) Shikamaru thought
'Is it me?' Choji thought, while eating chips
'Could it be me? That would be YOUTHFUL!' Lee thought
"I only noticed it now but, why are you on your chunnin vest Shikamaru?" Kaede noticed Shikamaru was indeed wearing green and asked
"It was too troublesome to find another one..." Lazyness incarnation answered
"Ehhh...." Kaede deadpanned
"uhm, no one? Then he second hint!
It is someone with brown hair!" Touka said with excitement, like always
"Oh? It's me?" Choji askes, taking his eyes off from his chips once
"Right!" Touka said as she gave him a box
"It is... *Gasp* a premium spicy fish flavor chip of limited edition!!! This is perfect!" Choji almost jumped in joy as he opened his gift
"Nyahahaha!" Proudly laughed Touka
'Sooooo cuteeeeeeeee!' Shizue was having a hard time with Touka's actions
"Choji, you're next" Seeing Shizue's situation, Kakashi decided to say in her place
"Oh! right! The one I took uses glasses" Choji said
"uh... Shino?" Ino asked
"Eh? No way, that doesn't make sense..." Kakashi muttered
"Yep, it is Shino" Choji nodded as he gave Shino a box
"Yaaay" 'cheered' Ino, totally not being sarcastic
"...How can she do that with her tongue?" Kakashi muttered again
A vein popped out of Shizue's forehead
"Ka.Ka.Shi... you are not reading that here, are you?"
*crack*
Shizue asked as she cracked her fingers
"Uh...I..." Kakashi has a river of cold sweat forming on his back
"GO TO HORNY JAIL!" Shizue screamed
*BONK*
'What is happening here? am I in a comedy or what?' Kaede asked herself
"Chips?" Shino asked as he quietly opened his gift
"Not just chips, they are winter melon flavored! I had to search a lot for these ones" (And by that I mean that I, the author, had to search Shino's favorite foods) Choji said with pride in his voice
"Thanks" Shino thanked, still with his normal voice, not that anyone could take a reaction out of him easily anyways...
"Now, it is Shino's tur-" Shizue started
"Ino" But Shino gave his gift straight away, not really caring about the game
there is always someone who ruins it, isn't there?... moving on
"A... Butterfly hair clip?" Ino asked surprised, she didn't expect something like that from Shino of all people... though butterflies are still insects, so it makes sense
"Thanks" Ino said
"..." Shino nodded
"Okay then, Next is Ino" Shizue said, pouting that someone didn't play by the rules
"Okay, it is someone lively" Ino said
"Either Naruto..." Kaede said
"Or stinky dog" Naruto completed
high fiving Naruto and Kaede began to laugh
"YOU TWO!" Kiba, fuming with rage was about to attack them
"... has marks on the face..." Ino said, but both Naruto and Kiba had marks, Naruto had whiskers and Kiba his clan's paint
"... and... has a puppy" Ino said
""So it is the stinky dog?"" Naruto and Kaede asked in unison
"Stop being rude you two!" Shizue said annoyed
"Yes, it is the stin- I mean, it is Kiba" Ino almost said the wrong words
""pfft""
"You two... sigh... thanks" Kiba sighed and took the gift
"You won't open it?" Shizue asked
"I know that it is dog food, I can smell it" Kiba said
"You sure it isn't you?" Naruto asked, he had some lessons about annoying people from Kaede
"YOU!" Kiba once again, was about to hit Naruto
"You two, STOP! Kiba go on" Shizue screamed and everyone could swear they saw a fire figure behind her for a moment...
"O-Okay... it is someone lazy" Kiba said, scared stiff
"Oh, so it can be m-" Shikamaru said
"Shikamaru" X14
Shikamaru blinked twice, before saying
"what a drag~" Taking his gift
"A... book?" He asked
"My sister said this was a good gift, I don't know" Kiba shrugged
"troublesome..." Shikamaru said, but he nodded to Kiba silently thanking him
...
...
"Shikamaru, it is your turn..." After a long silence, Shizue said
"What a drag... The one I took starts with T" Shikamaru said, annoyed that he couldn't delay hus turn more
"Really? You could do better lazyass..." Kaede said
"Oh, so hard to know, he really tried this time didn't he?" Sarcastically said Ino
"Whatever, just take it" Shikamaru said as he gave Tenten the gift
"It is a scroll?" She asked
"yeah... *yawn*" Shikamaru said as he seemingly slept there
"It us a sealing scroll, I have some of them... Must be filled with kunais and shurikens, and most probably it was Shikamaru's mother that prepared it, he is too lazy for that" Kaede explained
"Ohh! That is neat, I must thank HER latter" Tenten said, glaring at the asleep sloth
"Sigh... mine is someone who is very silent" Tenten said
"It can only NOT be Lee and Shizu" Kaede said, though she is now way more talkative
"It is someone who keeps reading a perv book!" Tenten said while glaring at Kakashi who was once again reading his book
"Ka.Ka.Shi!" Shizue said once again
*BONK*
-=-
"It is a... tanto?" Kakashi asked, surprised
"My dad said you used one before, so there it is" Tenten said with a smile, she always love to know things about weapons, and giving weapons also seems to be good for her...
"..." Staring intently at his new tanto, Kakashi was deep in thoughts, remembering his past
'There is no use thinking about that right now...'
"Thank you then" Kakashi thanked with a eye smile... how the he#k can he smile with his eye?
"Okay then, My secret santa is arrogant, a prick maybe even infatuated with himself, but in the end, he isn't a bad person" Kakashi said with a straight face, as if he didn't just burn Neji
''Heh, I am not a bad slime'' Thought Kaede and Shizue at the same time
"T-thanks?" Neji took his gift with a vein popping out of his forehead, really annoyed
"No problem!" 'That is for beating the living #### out of Naruto in the chunnin exams, even though you lost' Kakashi answered with a happy tone as he thought very bad things about Neji
"A...Kimono shirt?" He asked
"Indeed, it seemed like your wardrobe needed some... improvements..." Kakashi said while looking at Neji using the same clothes he used since... uh... ever?
(For your curiosity, that Kimono shirt is the one Neji uses in Shipudden)
"Seems a bit big..." Neji commented
"Oh, what a shame... maybe you can use it later then?" Kakashi said, not really caring
"..." Neji looked at him, and said nothing
"Okay then, your turn Neji" Shizue said
"Uh... it is a... kinda crazy person?" Neji said, not really sure
"Shizu?" Kaede asked
"Kaede-chan?" Shizue asked
Sasuke and Naruto wanted to point to each other, but they couldn't
""Oy! What do you meant by that?"" Kaede and Shizue asked at the same time
"Sigh... it is someone that has a worse wardrobe than mine, for sure" He said while looking at Kakashi
"Oh... Lee" X14
"What do you mean by that? my clothes are YOUTHFUL!" Lee exclaimed
"Youthful? yeah. Good? nah..." Kaede said, and everyone couldn't help but nod
Lee was now at a corner, with a 'sad cloud' illusion above his head
"Take your gift already, or I will tell Guy you were not youthful today" Kaede threatened Lee and it worked like a charm
"It... it is..." Lee said almost crying
"God damn Bushy brows, it is just some weights!" Naruto said, annoyed
"I'm sorry *sniff* that was not very youthful of me... Thank you Neji, For your youthful gift!" Lee said enthusiastically
"Okay, now Lee, it is your turn" 'I will be the last one, won't I?' Shizue said, while questioning her luck
"The youthful person I need to describe has white hair" Lee said
"You suck at this don't you?" Kaede asked with a deadpanned expression
"Gah" Critical hit
While Lee was on the ground holding his heart that just got shot, Kaede took his gift box and went to Hinata
"Hinata, can you please confirm if this is a spandex or not?" Kaede asked, and hit their own foreheads, as if calling themselves idiots
"Byakugan!" Hinata looked at the box, and sadly nodded
"Sigh... Lee, you are a creep with no salvation, giving such a thing to a girl..." Shaking her head, Kaede said in disappointment
"Here Blizzard, I knew something like that would happen" 'Luckily I saw his paper with my Jogan earlier' Kaede said as she gave a gift to Blizzard
She opened and found a falling star hair clip, just like Touka's
"As expected of Kaede-sama. It even matches my ownya (own)!" Touka immediately started fanning Kaede's ego a bit more
Blizzard walked close to Lee, and said softly
"T-Thanks" Even though she didn't take his gift, the intentions are what matter
"*Sniff* Blizzard-chan is so kind *Sniff*" Lee didn't even get up from the floor, still devasted but a but better now
"So Blizzard-chan, for who is your gift" Shizue asked, she knew Blizzard wasn't very talkative, especially with Naruto in the room
"S-Shizu" Blizzard said in a very low voice
Shizue's eyes lit up as if she had gained the beat gift in the world, just because someone 'cute' was giving her a gift
"Here" Blizzard gave her present, and before anyone could see her move, she was behind Kaede, hiding from Naruto
'Naruto-kun... what did you do to Blizzard for her to be so scared?' Hinata asked herself
"Okay then, let me see... it is a *gasp* a ice miniature of me?" Shizue asked completely taken by surprise
'Hoo? that is very clever of you Blizzard... very clever...' Kaede praised in her mind
"That is awesome! Can I have one too?" Naruto asked
"NO, You have scared Blizzard a lot already, she WON'T make something so nice for you!" Kaede said while glaring at Naruto, and by experience he knows that is he tries to defend himself Kaede would make everyone think the same as her with just some words
'What can your talk no jutsu do if you can't even use it properly Naruto? you have a lot to learn from me!' Kaede smugly said in her mind
"I loved it Blizzard-chan! Thank you!
Now, I won't make the game, mine is for Kaede, which means that Sasuke and Naruto got each other" Shizue said as she gave her gift to Kaede
'It must be fate huh? Indra and Ashura are so boring, always doing stuff like this...' Kaede thought
Kaede opened the long boxy wrapping of the gift
"A sword, very beautiful one too" Kaede said while looking at the sword intently, enthralled by it
"*gasp* isn't that?" Tenten asked, with a incredulous expression
"Yes, Spirit infused chakra metal, the rarest metal, the same one my sword is made of" Shizue said with pride, only people with spirits can make this kind of metal, thus they are very rare
"..." Kaede looked at Shizue speechless, She knew of this metal, but it was just so rare to find and so expensive she never even dreamed of buying one
"That..."
"It is my gift to you, take it" Shizue said, while spirit infused chakra metal is rare, for her it isn't ao much as she can make it herself
"...Thank you, really..." Kaede said as she put the sword in a storage seal, not wanting to just let it there
"I will need a very good scabbard then, Can you help me with that later Tenten?" Kaede asked
"Of course! Leave it to me!" Tenten answered enthusiastically, nit every day can someone see such a beautiful and powerful weapon after all
Kaede made a hand sign, just for show and two clones appeared beside her, then they each took one, Naruto and Sasuke and dragged them outside
"What are you doing?" Shizue asked
"Making sure they have decent gifts?" Kaede answered
"Ohh, that makes sense"
-=-
Outside Kaede gave Naruto a box of onigiri and Sasuke a storage seal full of Ramen, and told them to give each other their true gifts later, as she knew that even though they fight everyday, they aren't the type to give trash gifts to each other
But she also knows that they would be too embarrassed to give each other their gifts in public
-=-
Naruto and Sasuke loved 'their gifts' and the secret santa ended in a success.
While Kaede was going back to her house with Touka and Blizzard, now using their new hair clips.
She saw Naruto and Sasuke exchanging gifts
'Jogan' She activated her jogan and took a peek of their gifts
'These two... that is so like them...' Kaede then just went back home, today was a full day
-=-=-=-=-=-
