Twelve Days of Akatsuki Christmas
Summary: Ever heard of the twelve days of Christmas? This is the Akatsuki version. With Kisame incapacitated, Pein sulking, Konan trying to cheer him up and everyone else out on missions, Itachi is forced to answer the door every single day for twelve days. What will he find? I think you all know. OOCness and slight crack.
Disclaimer: I don't own Akatsuki, or Christmas XD

7:59 AM, Undisclosed Location of the Akatsuki Hideout
Red eyes stared down from a shaded tree, roaming across the grassy space in front of the Akatsuki's hiedout door. Itachi was waiting anxiously for 8:00 to roll around.
'Haha, now when whoever is sending these gifts shows up, I'll totally be able to mutilate them!!' he chuckled darkly in his head and looked at his watch. 'It's almost 8:00!' Itachi, being the slightly insane being that he is, started counting down the seconds.
'Five.'
'Four.'
'Three.'
'Two.'
'On-' just as the last second ticked by, a crow cawed and flew away, distracting Itachi and making his eyes flicker away from the door for a mere second. But a second was long enough. Itachi sighed when he looked down and saw the tree...the birds...the chickens...the birds...the box...the other birds, and something else he couldn't make out because it was blocked by the leaves. Hopping down from his perch, Itachi could only stare.
There, at the very back of the large group, were seven swans, all of them in their own little blow-up pools. Scowling, the Uchiha walked over to the tree and ripped the card fom its prettily tied ribbon and read it.
On the seventh day of Christmas, someone sent to me
7) Seven Swans A-Swimming
6) Six Geese A-Laying
5) Five Golden Rings
4) Four Calling Birds
3) Three French Hens
2) Two Turtle Doves and
1) A Partridge in a Pear Tree
'Seven swans...a-swimming...what the hell?! At this rate I'm gonna be getting eight flamingos a-frolicking.' Itachi then proceeded the long and arduous project of hauling the tree inside, while being trailed by ten birds, dragging in the geese...who were also all laying eggs...and then, somehow or another, bringing in the swans, who refused to leave the pools, or stop moving for that matter.
