Only a couple months after that was everyone (Except Hidan)'s favorite season. Christmas!
They had all decided to be together that Christmas (How loving…) so they could plan out missions sooner and talk.
Everyone had a different reason to like Christmas (Once again, except Hidan.)
Kakuzu liked it because he received free money.
Deidara got free clay.
Konan loved the snow.
Itachi always hung up mistletoe outside of a shop and sat next to the doorway, waiting for a cute girl to come by.
Zetsu got to flirt with Itachi's mistletoe (itachi: Zetsu, why are you talking to my mistletoe?)
Kisame liked swimming in the cold water.
Pain also liked getting free money, as long as he could manage to hide it from Kakuzu.
And Tobi loved receiving presents (especially if they were bunnies, kittens, small penguins, birds, hamsters, and anything else small, furry and adorable.)
And starting today, in exactly a month, was Christmas.
Kisame noticed a very sad looking Itachi.
"Hey, what's wrong?" He asked.
"There was only one cute girl, and she said hi and was about to step under the mistletoe, but then her boyfriend stopped her. Then some girl that looked like she weighed about 400 something pounds noticed me, and she almost strangled me. I had to call security, but when they came, they told me that hanging up a mistletoe in front of a shop without permission is illegal, and they made me leave." Itachi pouted.
"Wow, bad day." Kisame said.
"Yeah, I sort of already noticed that." Itachi said, glaring at Kisame.
"Well, I got lucky, though." Kisame said happily. "I was just swimming along, minding my own business, when some cute girl shark asked me out this for this Saturday, at about noon. Oh yeah!" Kisame said, flipping open his phone to show the Uchiha a picture.
Itachi looked at the picture of the tiger shark."It's just a shark. You're interested in animals?" He asked.
Kisame immediately looked offended. "I don't tell you how to live your life! Human girls all look so ugly!" and with that, he stormed into the other room.
"Yeah right! You've liked one or two before, I know it!" Itachi shouted.
Meanwhile, Tobi was in charge of decorating the Akatsuki lair. He strung up Christmas lights, hung up everyone (except Hidan)'s stockings, and made cookies (because he was hungry). He took a break and put in a Christmas CD. Soon he started singing along to, 'Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer'.
Soon Zetsu walked in.
"Tobi, I smell cookies." He said.
"Yup! I'm making Double Fudge and Ultimate Chocolate Chip Deluxe!" He said happily.
"A long name for such a small, delicious cookie." He said, and left the room.
Kakuzu walked into the kitchen soon after Zetsu left.
"I smell cookies. What type?" He asked.
"Double Fudge and Ultimate Chocolate Chip Deluxe!" Tobi said, and he pinned up another row of Christmas lights.
Kakuzu paused for a moment. "They sound expensive… You better have paid for it." He muttered and walked out of the room.
"I did!" Tobi shouted.
Soon Deidara walked in to get ice for his still-healing black eye he got from Halloween, thanks to Amanda's husband.
"Mmm, cookies, un?" He asked, opening the freezer and pulling out an ice bag.
"Uh-huh! Double Fudge and Ultimate Chocolate Chip Deluxe!" Tobi said, starting to get slightly annoyed by everyone caring so much about the cookies.
"They sound good." Deidara said, and he walked out of the room.
Soon Itachi came in.
"Cookies?" He asked.
Tobi's eye twitched.
"Yes, Double Fudge and Ultimate Chocolate Chip Deluxe."
"Tell me when they're ready." He said, and walked out.
Soon Pain walked in.
"Hey To-"
"THEY'RE DOUBLE FUDGE AND ULTIMATE CHOCOLATE CHIP DELUXE, NOW GET OUT!" Tobi shouted angrily, pointing at the frightened Pain.
"Umm, okay, I'm-I'm going right now." Pain said, raising his hand in defense and slowly backing out of the room.
Soon the timer had went off, and Tobi got the cookies out. He ate one, then dumped them all out onto a plate and ran out of the room.
"Cookies!" Tobi said cheerfully, and placed them on the table.
At that moment everyone (except Pain) tackled the table. (Yeah, they were THAT good.)
Hidan grabbed the dish and tried to make a run for it, but Zetsu came out of the floor and tripped him.
"Zetsu you-"
Kisame grabbed the dish and stuffed half of them into his mouth, but then something hit his foot and exploded, and the cookies went flying in all directions.
Hidan jumped out and grabbed one, but then Itachi stomped hard onto Hidan's hand, making him let go of it.
It was PURE MADNESS. That's when Tobi's dark side came out.
"STOOOOOOOOOOOOP!" Tobi shouted.
Immediately, everyone stopped.
"Put the cookies back on the plate." Tobi said, pointing at the plate. No one wanted Tobi to get angry again, so they all put them back.
"Now GET IN A LINE!" Tobi said.
They all got in a line.
"Now I'm going to give you each a coo-" But right before he finished, the cat he kitten-napped on Halloween (he didn't care about the rules right then, it was too cute) purred and licked his shoe.
Tobi looked down at it.
"Of course, Mrs. Kitten! You can have the cookies!" Tobi said happily, putting the plate carefully on her back. "Share some with your kittens!"
The cat ran into the other room, careful not to drop any of the cookies.
"Kittens?" Zetsu asked.
"Yeah! She had them on Hidan's bed, they were so adorable!" Tobi said happily.
Hidan's eye twitched. "She… You… I… My- my- bed?"
"Yeah! I was going to replace the sheets, but then you came in and told me to get out." Tobi said.
Hidan's eye twitched again. He was silent for a moment. None of the other Akatsuki members dared to speak.
"SHE HAD KITTENS ON MY *beep* BED AND YOU DIDN'T REPLACE THE *beep* SHEETS?" Hidan shouted at Tobi.
All power Tobi had when he made the cookies disappeared.
"Well, Hidan, you shouted every swear word known to man at me, and then threw me out of your bedroom. Like I said, I would've replaced the sheets, but you stopped me."
Hidan gave Tobi a glare so frightening, so vicious, so bloodthirsty, that it made Itachi's sharingan look weak.
Tobi noticed how angry he was.
"D-d-do you w-want a cookie?" Tobi whimpered.
"Tobi, I will only say this once. GET. OUT. OF. MY *beep* SIGHT!" Hidan shouted.
"Tobi is doing that right now!" Tobi shouted, running out of the room.
"Well… Heh heh… That was sort of funny, right?" Kakuzu said.
Hidan directed his attention to his partner, who immediately wished he hadn't say that.
"Kakuzu, are you ASKING to die? Because you may THINK you can't die that easily, but I can think of so many gruesome ways to kill you." Hidan said quietly.
Kakuzu had never really felt scared before, but now he did.
"N-no, um, I-I'll leave too n-now..." Kakuzu said, getting up and rushing out of the room.
Hidan looked angrily at the rest of the Akatsuki members.
"Anyone else?" He shouted.
They all shook their heads.
"Good. Now you all get out of my sight, too!" He shouted.
