I was straddling Deidara's lap on the living room love seat, he was lightly pecking and nipping my neck causing me to groan in satisfaction.

"W-What's with you and h-hickeys?" I asked him and he only shrugged.

"I like claiming your mine." Was his simple answer and he lightly pecked my lips, after leaving a descent looking mark on my neck. The third one in about an hour only.

It was Christmas morning and I had bought presents and one for Deidara, the reason why he is so handsy right now. In the end it took a lot of convincing to even get Deidara to take me shopping for everyone. I got Konan a necklace and some new origami paper, Pein a new earring, Zetsu a cactus, Itachi some new skinny jeans, Sasori new puppet materials, Hidan a new Jashin necklace (now that shit was hard to find!), I bought Tobi a hundred dollar coupon for a candy store and a stuffed animal, and lastly I just kept the hundred dollars I had left to give to Kakazu.

Now Deidara…I got him some new clay that could be blown up since it was flammable…I don't know if that was supposed to be the best thing on the planet for Deidara, or romantic, but he likes it. I know Pein probably wont like it though. Because my blond might accidentally blow something up but he liked it and that's all I care about. And now Deidara cant keep his hands off of me because he said my present wasn't done yet.

"But I know I'm yours…" I told him and he just shrugged again and shifted a bit in the seat, causing him to wrap his arms around me and keep me close to him."Merry Christmas Naruto."

"I told you this was my happiest Christmas since I was 4 didn't I?" I asked him and he kissed my cheek.

"Of course you did babe. that's why I'm so happy I get to make this your happiest one in years, un." He smiled and I leaned into kiss him.

He deepened the kiss the first chance he got by gently biting on my lower lip. I allowed him to enter my mouth and he rubbed my sides gently. I kissed him back just as hard as he was kissing me until I started hearing voices. Or I mean I thought I was hearing voices. But then again that could just be just some drunks that were outside. Yet we told them that we weren't opening today for several reasons. One it was a holiday and two if we did open it would be jam packed with people who forgot to buy presents or didn't buy good enough presents for there lovers.

Because, like I said, it was only Christmas morning.

Since Deidara didn't seem to here the voices and kept kissing me a bit roughly I just decided to ignore them. Thinking that I was just making them up. Or maybe they were people who just happened to be walking buy the complex on the street.

"What the fuck are you doing here!"

"I was going to ask you the same thing…"

"There was going to be a hurricane so we rushed out of there."

"And you?"

"My niece got married so she didn't need me for the whole time…her new husbands a bitch and said he would help her with the plants."

"My last relative died off while I was there so there was no point in staying"

"…"

"Your quite crow boy!"

"I just don't want to talk about it."

"And are you sure that your all just not here because of a certain blond for Christmas?"

And then silence…maybe I was imagining the voices (which just means I really am going insane!) Or maybe I missed the guys because all that really did sound like them… But that's impossible!

I threw those thoughts aside and left Deidara's moist cavern to gently nip his neck and he groaned. Everything seemed to have calmed down in my head until…:

"Knock knock! Guess who's home mother fucker!" I bang came from the entry way which caused me to fall off of Deidara's lap and onto the floor.

"Hidan! Dumbass! What if Naruto was sleeping!" Konan yelled at the jashinest and he shyly rubbed the back of his head.

"Well he's not is he?" He looked down at me and smirked, "Hey short stuff."

"Uh…h-hi?"

"Naruto, sweetie, why are you on the floor?" Konan gave me a hand and picked me up into a hug.

"More importantly why are you guys here? Un." I heard Deidara grunt as the rest of the Akatsuki members came walking in the door. All of them, Kakazu, Sasori, Pein, Zetsu, Itachi. Well everyone but Tobi. I don't know where that bundle of joy went.

"Some…complications. But we'll get to that while we give presents." Pein said a bit boredly, "I see you haven't killed him Deidara. Good work."

"Wow…thanks." He said a bit sarcastic and I giggled. He just smiled back at me.

Then it hit me, "Wait…presents?"

"Yeah…I figured that everyone would have something for you because although they don't try to show it there all saps." Pein said with a small smile as the rest all frowned.

"But…wait." I got out of the blue haired women's arms and ran into my room where there was freshly rapped gifts. I picked them all up into my arms and stumbled my way back into the living room.

"Naruto…what are those?" Zetsu asked me and I could only grin.

"What do they LOOK like zu-zu?" I teased him and he blushed.

I passed out each gift to the stunned Akatsuki members who slowly ripped open the presents. All showing there thanks by hugging me tightly, a grope here and there. I could hardly keep in my laughter when I saw Kakazu face as he tried to hold in his Fangirl scream. What can I say? The guy loves money.

But even so…Itachi seemed…different around me. I Mean he looks like shit! Like he hasn't slept that good and he seemed to be forcing a smile a lot of the times. He would look me in the eyes when he would speak a bit but then after awhile he would look a way with a pained expression playing on his face. It hurt me and I wanted to know what was up with him but I didn't want to force it out of him.

The Akatsuki began to hand me there gifts. Hidan gave me a sacrificing knife for Jashin while Kakazu gave me the card that was attached. Konan got me a manga about these ninjas and Pein got me some earrings. Supposedly he wants me to pierce my ears…or other parts of my body. Zetsu got me a flower that he made himself. A hybrid of a daisy and a rose (don't ask me how he did it) and named it Naruto. Itachi bought me a black shirt that had a frog on the front with fishnet sleeves. And Sasori got me:

"Oh My…GOD!" I screamed when I opened up Sasori's gift to me.

"Hm…What is it?" Kakazu asked me, sort of interested like the rest of the guys were.

"Its…its…" I bit my lower lip in excitement, "it's a certificate of a years supply of Ichiraku ramen!" I yelled and did a little dance then jumped on Sasori with a hug. He patted my back.

"God I love this so much Sasori!" I told him and kissed his cheek. When I noticed I did this I looked at Deidara and he only shrugged it off which caused me to smile. At least he wasn't overly possessive.

"I love them all…this is the best Christmas I had with family ever!" I smiled and tears threatened to leak through.

"So…why are you really here?" Deidara stared at them.

"We all have our reasons Deidara…" Pein said, "Konan and I had to leave the state…" The women whacked him on the back of the head. I was torn between wanting to know what happened and totally not wanting to find out.

"My niece got married and her new husband doesn't like me. She still does but…I was about to kill him." Zetsu shrugged and laid his back on the floor.

"It was going to fucking hurricane!" Hidan screamed while Kakazu punched his side.

"So we left early." He sighed.

"My granny finally died…or she's just faking it so she doesn't have to work anymore. The point is she's not here to nag me anymore and I hosted her funeral since there was no one left in my family to do anything about it. I have no one in my family to talk to be with anymore so I left." Sasori sighed and I gave him a hug. Just because now ALL of his family is gone…well were his family and were still here.

"And you 'Tachi?" I asked him and he flinched.

"Well…everything was as okay as it could be. My parents talking about running Uchiha corp., which I declined again. The only reason I went home was for my mother not to be told to work in that business. But it was all going…well. My brother was being an ass though. I felt okay for most of it but then yesterday I just snapped at them… And left" Itachi said, everyone had there eyes on him.

"He started talking shit about you Naruto. I didn't know that all those years before this one that that one boy he was always making fun of was you. I'm sorry…" He whispered

"Its not your fault…" I told him.

"Its more my fault that you know." Itachi said and I could only stare at him confused.

"Okay…where's Tobi?" Pein changed the subject.

"I don't know…probably still at his moms house. His dad wont be there for a month." Konan explained and I sighed. I do miss the bucket of sunshine.

"Thank you guys so much! This is the best I have felt… ever." I thanked them and they all grinned.

"Must REALLY be the best." Sasori stared at me.

"Hm? What do you mean Sasori?"

"Your neck…hickeys."

In my own world this made time stop. And I froze. Except for the one hand that went to clasp around my neck to hide the reddish purple marks. I could only think the worst on how they would react to me. But instead of me Pein and Konan were the first to react. Konan pulled my hand away from my neck and she gasped when she saw the three fresher hickeys on my neck from earlier. While Pein glared at Deidara.

"What the fuck!" Pein yelled causing me to flinched, "I leave you alone for one week, ONE, and that happens to him!"

"What did you put him through dumbass?" Hidan snarled at the blond.

Zetsu and Itachi were the more silent ones not saying anything but staring between Deidara and me. As if they were trying to figure something out.

"You let some random drunk has his way with him didn't you?" Kakazu snarled and I looked at them confused as Konan hugged me tight.

Wait wait…did they think…that I…

"Wait!" I yelled as they were all approaching Deidara, "don't lay a finger on his blond head!" I yelled and they all stared at me with arched eyebrows.

"He…didn't do anything wrong. No random drunk did this to me…were sort of…dating?" I told them and again they all looked at me funny.

"You…and Blondie?" Hidan asked me and I nodded.

"Things…happened this break. I'm sorry." I whispered. I didn't know why I was truly apologizing. I felt sort of like I just turned down most of them and it made me feel like shit. Also I mean, its just sort of sudden for me to have told them.

"Just… Fuck!" Hidan yelled and stormed off into the direction of his room. I flinched as Kakazu followed after him. I could feel tears forming in my eyes.

"Naruto…why Deidara?" Pein said sort of in a protective way.

"I…I guess I always loved him…it hurt when he ignored me. And then he told me he loved me under fireworks and everything." I said almost in a dreamy way.

"So just because he told you he loved you your going to believe him?" Pein said and looked at Deidara.

"I do love him Pein! I even told you that!" Deidara yelled at him and I flinched.

"But so does everyone else!"

"Not the way I do!"

I flinched when konan pulled me into a hug and she kissed the top of my head.

"K-Konan…I do l-love him." I stuttered.

"Shh, shhh I know sweetie, Pein is just…over protective of you." She rubbed my back, "Yahiko stop screaming at Deidara!"

Oh, she used his real name, that means she either mad or she's pissed. Not good.

"But…konan-"

"Naru loves him Deidara loves Naruto don't you see your hurting Naruto by being a possessive ass?" I swear he began to feel as he was a melted pop cycle.

"Naruto…" Pein whispered.

I finally took the time to look around at the people still in the room. Itachi was still stoned face and he seemed sort of out of it and Sasori was just staring at me and Deidara with a sort of shock. And Zetsu…he really didn't seem effected by it at all.

"I'm happy for you Naruto." Zetsu smiled at me then walked over to hug me as well as konan was. I knew he was my best friend. I heard Pein sigh as he calmed down, or try to calm down) and I could only wipe my eyes on Zetsu's shirt.

"Naruto…I'm happy for you to." Itachi forced out and again I heard a small grunt come from the red head.

"Its not really you I'm worried about Naruto, or eve Deidara…poor Tobi." Sasori softly whispered and I moved my head from Zetsu's chest to look at Sasori.

"What about Tobi, Danna?" Deidara asked him a bit in a harsh tone.

"Brat, he liked you."

"Of course he liked me! He always followed me!"

"He like liked you." Sasori told him and my eyes widened. Great. Just perfect! Now I was going to be hurting Tobi because of this.

"Your just imagining things Sasori." Deidara threw it off of his shoulder as if it was nothing.

"No he's telling the truth…Deidara, Tobi didn't just think of you as his sempai or friend and he wasn't just stalking you. He liked you moron. Maybe even love since you were the one to bring him here when he was beaten." Itachi said just maybe a bit more harsh

I saw Deidara's eyes, just for a second, flash a sense of pain. But then he looked back at me and his face showed love. This one look caused me to stop crying and feel calm again. His blue eyes were different than mine. They might of looked colder to some people but to me they weren't cold at all. They were nice and it reminded me of a happy place.

"I'm sorry but…I don't love Tobi. He might be like my annoying little brother but I love my little blond over there." He smiled at me and I grinned back.

I wiped my eyes with the back of my hand as I regained my calm breathes. Hidan and Kakazu still weren't back and I wanted to know how Hidan was. Like I said…he turned Bi because of me and…even if he liked me enough he could be hurting. I'm sorry that I don't like Hidan like that. But Kakazu could be a good match for him, no matter how hard he denies it.

"Now…come here." Deidara said softly and calmly that caused me to smile and relax even more. I broke free from my friend and my mother like figure and walked towards my boyfriend and he took me into his arms.

"This was a hectic day wasn't it?" He laughed and rubbed my back gently. I just lightly chuckled.

"defiantly not the way I had suspected it to go…" I whispered and everything felt semi okay until I heard something break in the direction Hidan was.

I was just about to turn and go see what it was, but Dei-Dei held me back.

"No don't go to him…he's just letting out some hot air okay? Kakazu's with him. He will be okay…eventually" The blond cooed into my ear and I only nodded, hoping that he was right. I didn't want to hurt anyone and in truth this all seemed to be hurting people mentally and it made me feel pain. I love Deidara…or I'm pretty sure I do and it wasn't just an in the moment type of thing…What am I saying! of course I love him! And I know he loves me to. And hopefully its not just because of how I look…you know my body?

I let out a large breath of air that I didn't know I was holding in, hoping that all of those thoughts would disappear in my head. Sometimes I always think of the worst.

In the calm silence of the living room, a knock on the door caused most of the Akatsuki to jump out of there skin and look at the door, or at each other. I looked at the clock. It was still morning at about 9 o'clock so there really shouldn't be anyone here, unless there carolers or people looking for donations. Nobody moved from where they were standing, incase it was the wrath of Christmas joy at the door. I was the only one who could actually stand them long enough without yelling or slamming a door in there face so I knew that they wanted me to go to the door and answer it.

I let go of Deidara and he kissed my forehead lightly before I went to the door and opened it to see what holiday joy would await me. But what was there was more of a holiday nightmare…

In the door way, with a scowl on his face, was way worst than anything I could ever think inside of my head. Yep way worst.

"D-Dad?"
