Author's Note: Personally, I'm not so fond of Valentine's Day because of all the love surrounding me, and I feel lonely because no one ever loves me (besides friends, you know, boys?). *sigh* But, I'm doing it for you readers!

Special Thanks to:

Amaya Rin – AKA: PaintedFoxes

For reminding me that I have to type up this chapter by Valentine's Day!

Bloody Valentine

The day was rainy while Amaya, Konan, and Karasu watched amusingly at Tobi make a fool of himself trying to create bombs using Deidara's clay. All the boys were out getting groceries while the girls had the entire day to themselves. "It was a great idea to force them to get stuff for once!" Amaya sighed in relief as she put her bare feet up on the clean table.

The short black haired girl sighed, "You barely do anything but buy junk food all day…" She coughed on purpose. "Especially blueberry muffins…"

The white haired girl stuck her tongue out, "My obsession with blueberry muffins is not as bad as your obsession with mitarashi dango." Karasu rolled her eyes as she grabbed a drink coaster and put it under both of Amaya's feet. "Ne, isn't tomorrow Valentine's Day?"

Konan nodded, "Yup. I already got something for Pein-kun!" she smiled proudly yet a faint blush was beginning to sprout upon her cheeks.

Karasu raised an eyebrow slowly, "Really? What is it?"

Amaya sat on the couch criss-crossed and leaned forward, "Yeah, what it?"

Konan smirked and immediately help up a stuffed orange frog animal, "Ta-da! I made him all by myself!"

Karasu remained quiet as Amaya blinked before muttering, "What the fuck is that?"

"It's a stuffed frog, baka!" Konan cuddled with it and stuck out her tongue towards the two. "If my present is so horrible, where are yours?"

Amaya and Karasu both glanced at each other with a confused look, "What do you mean?" they both asked in unison.

The blue haired woman sighed in annoyance, "Aren't you going to get something for your boyfriends? You know Karasu and Itachi; Amaya and Hidan?"

"Ne-Never!!!" Karasu squealed into a pillow.

Amaya glared at the floor, "Shut the fuck up! Hidan and I are not going out! I'd rather be punished by Jashin-sama than go out with that faggot."

Konan sighed, "Whatever. You'll be surprised by tomorrow though!" she left with the stuffed frog muttering to herself, "It isn't that bad is it…?" she twitched as she entered her room and decided to make it look better with clothing.

There was a long pregnant silence in the living room where Karasu's head was still buried deep inside the lime green pillow, and Amaya's icy blue eyes glared down at the floor as if to cause a disastrous earthquake. Another ten minutes passed before Amaya stood back up, "I always hated Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day, Shmalentine's Day. What's the point? The stupid fucking 'holiday'," she quoted in the air. "Only breaks hearts."

Karasu nodded in agreement as she lifted her head and sighed along with Amaya. "Well… What if Hidan does give you a gift? I'm just saying, what if?"

Amaya shrugs, "I don't know, say thanks and throw it in the trash?"

The scarlet red-eyed girl slapped her forehead in frustration, "No, you keep it, and the next day, you give him a gift."

The piercing blue-eyed female counter-attacked the argument, "Yes, but then that will prove that I forgot his gift and he'll be upset…" she looked sad at the end.

Karasu smirked, "That proves that you do love Hidan!"

"Shut the fuck up!" Amaya's cheeks became pinker by the second. "I like him, not love. There's a big difference, and what about you and weasel-boy huh? He seems like a romantic."

The girl scoffed and turned her back, "Have you seen him on missions?" she mocked his voice, "'Hurry up, next time don't take so long. That wasn't correct! Do it again. No, no! Silence. Be quiet.' Blah, blah, blah!" Karasu sighed and pulled on her short hair.

"Well, we'll have to wait until tomorrow then." Amaya shrugged. "I'm a bit tired… See you tomorrow."

Karasu nodded, "Wait, where's Sakura-chan? I haven't seen her ever since my birthday…"

Amaya blinked, "Well, for your birthday, I know that she was sent to Konoha to train for a while and spy on the Kyuubi, and was supposed to be back by two weeks, so that would be on February 13th, which is today… She's probably with the boys." There was a sudden loud crash with a loud giggle. "And, she's back."

Karasu and Amaya both quickly rushed inside the kitchen to find it literally torn to shreds. In the middle of the ruins was a small pink haired five years old girl holding a large katana that seemed to be Kisame's and wearing oversized pink ballet slippers, "I'm hoooooooome!!!!!" she smiled and sang. "Oh, I've found Kisame's cool katana and I also found his ballet slippers in his closet!" she flapped the slippers against the rubble on the floor.

Amaya sighed, "You must be tired. Karasu-chan, tuck Sakura in and I'll clean this up."

Sakura's small hands grabbed onto Karasu's index finger as they walked down the hall and finally into Sakura's room and onto her bed. "Karasu-neechan, can you read me a bedtime story like Itachi-kun does?"

Karasu sighed. Sakura knows that she writes random short stories in that small crimson journal of hers, but she didn't know that they were horror and gory. "Sure…" Karasu licked her lips and thought. "Um… Once upon a time… There was an old man named Pein who created a small wooden puppet he called Sasori. One day, Sasori became a real boy and left Pein to go live in a circus—"

Sakura raised an eyebrow and her emerald eyes shined with intelligence, "Isn't this exactly like Pinocchio? Only, you replaced the old man for Pein, and Pinocchio for Sasori."

"U-Uh… Okay! I have another story!" Karasu sweat dropped. "There was once a girl named Deidara and she lived with three evil step sisters—"

"Cinderella." Sakura pointed out.

"Once upon a time, there were seven dwarves and a girl Itachi who was announced 'the fairest of them all'—"

"Snow White."

Karasu twitched; "You want a bedtime story…?" her patience was similar to Sasori's. "Once upon a time, there was a boy who lived in a village that rained pie everyday. His name was Kisame and would eat any kind of pie no matter how horribly cooked it was. One day, he ate so much that he became fat and then exploded. The end."

There was a long silence before Sakura started laughing her head off, "You called Kisame fat!"

Karasu sighed in relief, "Good night."

"Good night." Sakura continued laughing. Amaya waited in the living room, still hearing Sakura's continuous giggles and chuckles.

Karasu held up a hand, "Don't… ask…"

"You were supposed to make her fall asleep." Amaya pointed out. "Not make her laugh to death."

Karasu sighed, "I'm going to bed, night."

"Night." Amaya nodded and yawned as she entered her room and fell asleep, as did Karasu.

Morning: Valentine's Day

"Happy Valentine's Day, Pein-kun!" Konan held up a stuffed orange frog dressed in the Akatsuki cloak and had similar piercings as Pein did. "Do you love it? I made it myself!"

Pein's ringed eyes widened in fright, "Um… I don't love it." Konan frowned and sighed. "That's because I love you." He wrapped an arm around her waist and kissed her left cheek three times as Konan blushed and smiled, clearly satisfied with his answer.

The others gagged at the loving couple while Sakura giggled and smiled as she kept on poking Kisame's stomach. "Kisame-san, you eat people, but then you threw up the people. Now, you eat a lot of pie! When are you going to explode?" Sakura poked it again.

The fuming shark twitched, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TELLING THIS CHILD?!?!"

Itachi and Karasu smirked and chuckled a bit while Amaya and Hidan laughed out loud. Kisame blamed Itachi and Karasu since they were the only ones who read the bedtime stories to the young yet to bloom cherry blossom girl. "Well… Time to hand out the presents." The black and white plant announced, as he took out a white neatly wrapped present. Everyone stared as he walked towards an empty space. "Why for me?" his dark side smirked. "But of course!" his light side smiled as his dark side's hands unwrapped it to reveal a thick human leg. "Thank you very much!" his dark side smiled evilly as he devoured it in front of everyone as Amaya tried shielding a giggling Sakura's eyes. "You're welcome!" There was silence… "What are you waiting for?" his voice seemed threatening and everyone who didn't have a gift left immediately while Konan and Pein just started making out on the couch, completely unaware of what Zetsu just did.

The remaining people were Karasu, Amaya, Itachi, Hidan, Deidara, and Sasori. Amaya glanced at Karasu curiously to see where her gift was. 'I don't have a gift! I just stayed because Itachi kept staring at me!' Karasu's glowing red eyes told Amaya.

'Ditto, except vise versa Itachi with Hidan.' Amaya shrugged. "Um…" Hidan, had a fainted blush and handed something bit damp, and seemed to be stained with red. "Just take it."

"Tha-Thanks…" she blushed and unwrapped it. Deidara leapt from his seat as Amaya smiled down at it. "Su goi! It's beautiful…"

"You call that beautiful?!" Deidara screeched.

Hidan ignored Deidara, "My heart to you." He smirked. "Well, not really my heart, but hey, close enough." Amaya's present was a live beating heart Hidan ripped out from another person he was about to sacrifice to his god, Jashin.

Deidara rolled his single blue eye, "My present is much better." He smiled and handed his present to the shocked Amaya. She immediately opened it to reveal a ceramic 'A' for Amaya that was wrapped around a strand of strong fabric. Amaya immediately put it around her pale neck and smiled, quickly giving a smirking Deidara a small hug. Though, she gave Hidan a small peck on the cheek.

Hidan stuck a tongue out at Deidara like he would do to most people who he would beat. Karasu was astounded that Deidara had a crush on Amaya. 'Shocker…' she raised a thin black eyebrow. Soon, a present dropped onto Karasu's hands and she looked up to see a small smiling Sasori. 'Oh god…' she looked down and blushed as she slowly unwrapped it to see a small wooden beveled box. "This is so beautiful…" she traced the patterns on each side and opened the box to reveal many random items. She burst out into laughter as she took out the three items. "I remember this!" she held up a small black book about jewelry and girly clothing.

Sasori smiled at the sound of her laughter, "Yes, I remembered I made a bet with Kakuzu that I could easily find your diary, and mistook this for your diary and was a bit frightened."

Karasu took out a small miniature puppet arm that was supposed to resemble Sasori's arm, "That time I tried to help you up during a battle, and your arm popped off, that was hilarious…" she smiled at the small figure. The next item was a small doll that looked much like her. "This is adorable." She smiled.

Itachi tried hard not to lose his temper, "Here." He gave her a small box that wasn't wrapped and soon left, feeling disappointed. Amaya looked sadly as she heard Itachi slam his room door shut. As Karasu opened it, it was nothing inside. She was surprised and felt the plushy bottom and shook the box. Strangely, it made a noise as if something was actually inside. She curiously lifted up the small gray cushion to reveal a stunning orchid petal hair clip with a small note inside that read: "Happy Valentine's Day Karasu-san. I noticed that you always keep your hair in front of your face, until one day you ran a hand through your hair. I like it better if you pulled it back more. Sincerely, Uchiha Itachi."

Amaya stuck her tongue out at Karasu, "You got a better present." Hidan and Deidara looked disappointed, though Hidan smirked.

"There's a part two in your gift." Hidan winked. "It's in my room." Amaya blushed and followed him. (A/N: Perverts! They only make out at the end!)

Karasu turned to face a smiling Sasori and gave him a long tight hug. "Sorry Sasori." He nodded, a bit sad, but forgave her as she ran towards Itachi's closed door and quickly put it in her clip and knocked on the door, "Itachi-san?"

The door opened slightly, only to see his Sharingan eyes as usual. "What?" Karasu sighed and rolled her red eyes before fully opening the door to see that she wore the clip as a sign of accepting him. His fingers twitched. "Um…" Itachi chuckled a bit. "Your hair is really messy, and the clip is tangled into your hair.

"Oh thanks, you didn't embarrass me at all." She blushed and fingered her long Akatsuki cloak sleeves.

Itachi pushed her inside the room and pulled up a seat, "Sit down in front of the mirror." The weasel sighed. "Don't tell anyone… When Sasuke was still small, I used to fix his hair."

Karasu raised an eyebrow, "Chicken-ass? Wow, you must love your brother so much, you're willing to fix his hair that looks exactly like the butt of a chicken." Itachi scoffed and removed the clip to comb her tangled hair. "You know, it's sometimes hard to believe you're not gay."

Itachi raised an eyebrow, "You think I'm gay?"

"Well, you have a nice sense of fashion," she held up the clip. "You have long girly hair," he twitched at this. "But I like it, so don't cut it yet." She muttered before continuing. "You're combing my hair now. But, I don't think you're gay."

He clipped in the orchid hair clip, "Really?"

"Do you how I know?" Karasu smiled into the mirror as Itachi looked down at her. "Because you like me."

"I don't like you. I…" he sighed. It wasn't everyday he uses the 'l' word. "Love you."

She knew it was embarrassing for him, so she smiled and changed the subject, "I wonder what Amaya-chan and Hidan-san is doing…"

"You don't really want to know…" Itachi muttered to himself.

Hidan's Room

"Ja-Jashin-sama…" Amaya panted in pain. "I- lo-love Val-Valentine's Da-Day." She took the razor and continuously cut herself as Hidan did the same in the circle. As soon as all the blood in the glowing circle with an upside-down triangle has disappeared, their major wounds healed itself as a gift from their god Jashin. "I'll get the First Aid—" The only thing was that Jashin would only heal major wounds, not the minor ones.

"Don't." Hidan saw a small cut on Amaya's cheek and slowly licked the blood oozing out. "Okay, now you can." Amaya slowly walked towards the First Aid kit someone got for him from Christmas.

'Oh… My… Fucking… Jashin-sama…' Red roses started blooming inside her cheeks as she felt sudden warmth inside. 'Did he just do that?'

As the afternoon grew, they continued bandaging themselves up until one random moment of silence, Hidan suddenly asked, "Hey, do you want a kiss?"

Amaya's sudden movements froze, "Uh… Yes—Wait, no!—Yes—Aah!" she pulled her same white hair.

Hidan laughed and held out a Hershey's Kiss, "I meant this kind of kiss." (A/N: Some guy went up to me and said that and actually puckered his lips, and I was, "What?!" and then he laughed, "Just kidding, here!" and he gave me a Hershey's Kiss, has someone done that to you guys before?)

"Oh…" The icy blue-eyed girl blushed in embarrassment. "Thanks…" She ate the chocolate and sighed in joy. "Jashin, I LOVE chocolate…"

Hidan raised an eyebrow, "Tastes that good?" He immediately forced himself onto her and took the mini chocolate piece from her mouth with his own. "Hm… You're right."

"Oi! NO ONE TAKES MY CHOCOLATE!!!" She immediately tackled him. 'Man, I hella love this day…'

Author's Note: Hope you enjoyed it! I was in a rush at the end, so sorry! Hope you like it too Amaya-chan! Oh yeah, AMAYA-CHAN!!! YOU HAVE TO TELL ME YOUR B-DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
