Christmas, Three months later…

"Merry Christmas, everyone!" Desari called to the large room. Random mumbles and cheers of 'Merry Christmas' came back to her. She walked over to Sasori and offered him a gingerbread man. He took it with a smile and ate it, complimenting her cooking skills. She laughed, knowing he hated sweets, and sat on his lap.

Deidara ran off to set up the fireworks she bought him. Itachi and Saya sat very close together on one of the chairs. Desari smiled as a blush formed on Saya's cheeks while Itachi whispered in her ear.

Pein looked unusually pleased with himself as the girls played with their gifts. Savannah even walked up to him and thanked him with a smile. "Did you enjoy your gift, too, Master Pein?"

Shocked that she finally called him that, Pein grinned, knowing he was in way over his head with these charming wards. Rayne ran up to him and gave him a kiss on his cheek before running off to play again, dragging Savannah with her.

Zetsu and Alessia ran off in search of some mistletoe, while Kakuzu simply ran off. Disgusted at the cost of putting together the Christmas party, Kakuzu refused to be involved with any of it. Nevertheless, Desari gave him a card with some money as a gift and left it outside his door.

Kisame grumbled at the sight around him.

"Look at all these saps, over here. What the Hell happened to this place?" Kisame stood up dramatically. "This used to be a Man's domain. Now look at it!" The couples looked up laughing.

"You're just jealous you don't have a kick-ass girl of your own." Sasori teased. Itachi snickered at the look of outrage on Kisame's face.

Itachi got up and wrapped his arm across Saya's shoulders as they headed out of the room.

"Where're you headed so soon?" Kisame asked.

"I have some mistletoe hanging over my bed and I plan on showing it to my girl." Itachi taunted.

Kisame grumbled.

"WHAT IN THE HELL DID YOU DO?!" Hidan just walked into the room. Tobi followed behind jumping happily at all of the decorations.

"Yay! Tobi is a good boy! Tobi got lots of candy in his stocking!" Tobi shoved a handful of the sugary treats in his mouth.

"We have a gift for you, Hidan." Desari said.

"LIKE HELL I'D INVOLVE MYSELF WITH SOME DAMN RELIGION THAT CELEBRATES GIFTS AND LOVE!" He shuddered at the thought. Despite this, he ripped the gift from her hands and left the room. Sasori chuckled and held Desari tighter.

Deidara ran inside all excited. "The fireworks are all set up now!" He looked around. "Where is everyone?"

Desari laughed and stood up. "Don't ask. We'll be your audience tonight."

She and Sasori led the way, followed by Pein, Savannah, Rayne and Kisame. Deidara ran ahead to his fireworks display.

"Ready?" Everyone stood around as the fireworks went off. Watching the night sky light up, Sasori turned to Desari and gave her a long, sweet kiss under the moonlight.
