Hello hello! Merry Christmas to all of you! Or happy whatever you celebrate. This is our second holiday special! I bet you can guess what holiday it is. Obviously. It is funny, and a bit sentimental in places. We decided we would try writing some serious type stuff in a couple places. So parts of it may not seem like we wrote it. But we make up for it later, with some extra funny stuff. And, once again, if you ave any holidays you want us to do, let us know! And if we don't get it up in time, we will just post it the next year. We will do our best though.
Much thanks to those of you who have reviewed, favorited, or followed! Or some combination of the 3.

Disclaimer: alas, we still do not own the beloved show of Naruto. Only the plot line for this story.
Enjoy!
Sakura woke up on Monday morning, feeling more refreshed than she had felt in a long time. Especially on a Monday morning. She looked at her alarm clock, out of the corner of her eye. She then freaked and looked at it fully. It read 12:00. "GAH! IM GUNNA BE LATE!" she screamed.
Inner sighed. 'you're not GUNNA be late.' she said.
Sakura paused. 'im not? Oh! So theres no school today?' Sakura started cheering.
Till inner continued. 'no. Theres school. But you ARE late. you're not GUNNA be late!' inner corrected.
Sakura then resumed running around her room, imitating Tobi as she got ready for school in 5 seconds flat. She then practically teleported to the school.
She arrived in her 3rd period class, art with Iruka.
She burst through the door at 12:03, panting as if she had just run a marathon. "I-i'm... H-here!" she called.
Hinata gave her a sympathetic smile, and waved her over to go sit with her. "H-hello, Sakura-chan!" Hinata said brightly.
"H-hello, H-Hina-Chan!" replied Sakura, still slightly out of breath.
Just then, they got called down to the auditorium for an assembly.
~~~IN THE AUDITORIUM!~~~
"Hello, hello! My name is... uhh... Stephen-Sensei! And i have an announcement!" 'Stephen'-Sensei declared.
Everyone waited for him to continue.
And they kept waiting.
Suddenly, an 'applause' sign lit up.
'so THATS why he didn't continue!' the entire student body, along with the teachers, all thought.
They all clapped.
Simultaneously.
Once.
"Thank you! Anyways, I'm here on behalf of my amazing life skills class to announce that we will be having a romantic, moonlit potluck dinner on the roof top. Please bring a dance partner for the night. And, I'm also here to say we will also be having a secret Santa. Thank you and see you then!" with those final words, he skipped off.
When he did so, Uzumaki Naruto happened to 'conveniently' come back from the washroom.
When they returned to their classes, the teachers passed out the secret Santa names to their classes. Through Naruto's 'careful' calculations (pfft. Ya right.) the teachers were included in the secret Santa as well.
What horrors may come of this? We wont know until they give out their gifts! (except the authors. We have had this planned for a while.)
Sakura stared at the slip of paper that held the name of who ever she would buy for. "Hinata! Here's to hoping we get good names!"
Hinata nodded. "Y-yeah! Lets h-hope!"
Sakura dared herself to open it, and see the name, but she couldn't do it. Eventually, she opened the paper, and saw the name of the schools 'all-purpose instructor' the one who could substitute for any subject, Ebisu-sensei!
Hinata checked hers, and let our a sigh of relief she hadn't known she was holding.
GAARA.
"Hina-Chan? Who did you get?" Sakura asked, clearly ignoring the common(ly ignored) rule of 'don't tell anyone who you got' rule, for secret Santa.
"I-I got G-gaara-san." Hinata said meekly, with a slight smile on her face.
"Cool! I got the all-purpose sub. I dunno what im gunna get him though..." Sakura mused, as she mulled over her current predicament.
By lunch, everyone was pretty sure they knew what they were getting their 'victim'. It was all anyone could talk about.
Or, in the case of the Uchiha's, Gaara and Neji, used minor facial expressions, and mono-syllable words, to communicate their excitement or displeasure with this.
Neji put a piece of paper in front of Sasuke.
Sasuke read it. The paper said: 'this coupon allows its user, one full minute of ogling Sasuke WITHOUT him glaring at you. Simply hand him this piece of paper. This has been approved by:' there was then a line, where Sasuke knew he had to sign his name. He glared at Neji, who glared back.
They telepathically communicated, and came to an agreement. (we aren't going to tell you the agreement, because we don't even know what it is.)
Sasuke then signed his name on the line, just as Sakura sat down beside Neji.
A random no name itasaku shipper passed by, and saw that. She then ran over to the Akatsuki's table, grabbed Itachi by his ponytail, (by accident we assume) and DRAGGED him over to Sakura. "Itachi-sempai! Your lover is cheating on you with... with... this... thing!" the girl shrieked.
Itachi mentally face palmed. 'the eloping thing is following me to school now too?' he wondered.
Out loud.
The entire cafeteria went quiet.
Itachi grabbed Sakura's wrist, and dragged her out of the room.
Everyone stared in shock, at the retreating backs of the 'couple' when they left.
"What... was that about?" multiple people wondered out loud.
As she was being dragged down a random hallway, Sakura decided to voice her thoughts. "though i appreciate the action, Tachi-kun, I'll have to say that you're adding credibility to the eloping theory." Itachi didn't answer. He just kept walking.
About 5 minutes later, Sakura decided to calmly try to calm Itachi down. "Itachi, please try to calm down. Im sure this is all just one huge misunderstanding. Alright?"
and when that didn't work. "Itachi, you're a great guy and all, but could you please let go of my wrist? Its kind of going numb..." finally, Itachi responded, and loosened his grip with a soft and definitive "Hn."
Sakura sighed, as she was 'escorted' to the roof. (i guess we will be having a roof scene, with out an awkward moment. Huh. Maybe we are loosing out touch? Nah... cant be that. Could it?)
there, something small and cold landed on her nose. More and more of them started falling. "Hey, Tachi! Its snowing! This is awesome!" Sakura said with a smile as she spun around, well away from the edge of the roof.
Itachi just watched her, smirking. 'cute...' he thought. He continued to watch the 15 year-old, childish girl play in the snow.
Itachi then smiled. "I guess we will be having a white Christmas this year then."
Sakura stopped spinning. "What about Hanukah, Kwanza and other holidays at this time? We cant forget about them, now can we?" she asked, her emerald eyes shining with a challenge.
"i guess we will just have a white holiday season then." Itachi said, turning his gaze to the sky.
Sakura giggled. The 2 of them stayed up on the roof, for about another 5 minutes, before the bell rang to let everyone know there was 5 minutes before class. As they walked through the halls, they were greeted by posters.
THOUSANDS of posters.
Of them.
Together.
Itachi in a suit, Sakura in a wedding dress.
Getting married.
How the people in the school, managed to make thousands of posters of them in about 20 minutes, they (and us, the authors) will never know. And are kind of scared to know.
As they walked through the school, everyone was watching them, and congratulating them. Sakura wanted to tell everyone that it was a misunderstanding Itachi never gave her that chance. He would always end up dragging her away.
Soon they ran into the Akatsuki.
Hidan saw the distress in Sakura's eyes, and decided to be her knight in shining armour and save her. He walked up to past her, (so close to her that his arm bumped into hers) and as he passed her, he scooped her up into his arms, and ran off, carrying the pink haired girl bridal style down the hallways.
Everyone in the hallway, or at least the itasaku shippers, (so MOST of the hallway) tried to stop him. He just ran away. Sakura started giggling. He looked down at her and smiled.
The entire Akatsuki simply watched as the entire hallway started telling Itachi to chase his lover and her kidnapper. He sighed.
Then, Pein walked up to him. He fully believed the eloping thing. "Itachi. As your leader, and Kami-sama, i command you to go after Hidan, and take back your lover from him."
Itachi gave his leader his best 'WTF" face (which was basically just his left eye twitching, and his lips slightly turning down in a frown. When he didn't move, Pein frowned, and glared at him. "Go."
Itachi sighed, and slowly walked away.
Sakura had somehow escaped Hidan's death grip, and was heading towards Asuma's history class. He was discussing events that happened over the holiday season. (did you know in world war 1, the British actually formed a truce with the french (i might have the countries wrong) and they shared cake, played games and were friends over Christmas, then on boxing day, they were enemies again? I just learned that in history.)
quietly slinking through the desks, she sat down next to Gaara, who shot her a strange glance.
She ignored him.
Although he knew something was wrong, he didn't comment on it.
She was zoned out for the rest of her classes as well, choosing not to respond to anybody. Even the teachers couldn't get a response out of her. She just stared straight ahead. Unblinking, and unmoving.
She didn't even pick up a pencil.
"Dude." Kakuzu said while staring at her. "I think you guys finally broke her. We all knew it would happen. Im surprised she lasted this long actually, to be honest." Hidan just flashed him an inappropriate hand gesture, that we are choosing not to describe. Itachi just stayed silent.
By the time school was over, her eyes were glazed and darkened. She walked home slowly, causing many passer-byers to wonder if she was alright.
After managing the torturous climb up the stairs, she collapsed on her bed. "What'll i do inner? Mom and dad don't understand my pain... and what will i say to Itachi? More importantly, what will i get Ebisu-sensei for the holidays?" she wondered out loud.
The next day, everyone was crowding around Itachi, forcing him to greet his lover. Sakura saw him, and decided to bug him a bit. "ITACHI-KUUUUUUNN! I'M HEEERE!" she yelled.
Itachi's left eyebrow twitched.
Sakura knew what that meant. (basic translation: what the hell are you doing?) Sakura smiled. "Im greeting my lover! Every one knows. So its pointless to hide it!" she then ran up to him and gave him a death hug, as she muttered "Payback.." in his ear.
He knew exactly what she was talking about. After all, it was all his fault they were stuck in this situation. And he knew that she knew how much he hated the attention, and the rumours, and the physical contact with human beings. Does that mean Itachi is ok with aliens touching him? Hey kelpie! I have an idea!
He sighed. She just continued. "I LOVE YOU THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS MUCH!" she said, as she spread her arms as wide as she could.
Itachi blushed. Now, a normal Uchiha blush, is barely noticeable. A more... whats the word? Stronger? Sure. A more stronger blush, is merely a slight colouring of the cheeks. Itachi's blush, was an extreme blush. Not just an extreme blush for an Uchiha, but for any other human as well. He was a darker shade of red, than Karin's hair (if possible.). he blushed even harder (again, if possible) when Sakura kissed his cheek. She then skipped off down the hallway, leaving behind a very flustered Uchiha.
Itachi watched as his 'lover' skipped off down the hallway, as his heart skipped a beat. (that was kinda sappy. Oh well.)
he then got mauled by Sakura's ENTIRE fan club, for taking their precious Sakura-chan away from them.
Sakura then entered her art class, hoping there wont be another assembly, hosted by 'Stephen-Sensei' (Naruto). That would not end well.
This time, she sat down beside Deidara and Sasori.
Bad choice.
They spent the entire class either making sure she was alright, or arguing with each other.
Sakura sighed, and buried her face in her hands, to drown out the incessant bickering. "Are you alright?" Deidara asked.
"Shut up, idiot. She doesn't want to hear your voice, obviously." Sakura groaned after hearing Sasori's comment.
'why?' she thought. 'why me? Why do i get all the attention? Why cant someone else, who actually WANTS the attention have it?' she asked inner.
Inner sighed. 'you just manage to draw a lot of attention. It must be the hair...' inner mused.
Sakura groaned.
Sasori and Deidara both heard. "is something wrong, Sakura-chan?" they both simultaneously asked. They then glared Sakura's mothers lasagna at each other. (glaring daggers is too over used.)
Tenten saw her distress, and whispered something to Hinata. The girl nodded, and walked over to the teacher, as Tenten walked over to Sakura, and grabbed Sakura's arm, and dragged her from the classroom. Once they were in the hallway, Sakura eyed her friend suspiciously.
Tenten laughed. "dont worry. Im not gunna ask whats wrong. As far as they know, you weren't feeling good, and i am taking care of you. Okay?" Tenten said with a smile.
Sakura still didn't look convinced. "Hinata's in on it too. She has probably already told the teacher by now. you're in good hands." just then, Tenten's phone vibrated.
She began to do a happy dance.
In the middle of the hallway.
With Neji watching.
All of the sudden, they heard laughing. Not just a small giggle, and not just a little laughing. Neji was laughing hysterically. It was an event to be taught in history class.
Tenten blushed a deep scarlet, ran over to him, and punched him in the arm. He winced slightly, and laughed at Tenten some more. She got mad, and started chasing him down the hallway, leaving behind a laughing Sakura.
Meanwhile, Sasuke was sitting in his desk, in his history class. He was staring at the unopened piece of folded paper, sitting on his desk. It was the piece of paper that would decide his fate for the secret Santa.
After mulling over it for the first hour of class, (each class was 75 minutes long.) he decided to read it.
He slowly unfolded the paper, afraid of his fate.
He read the name.
He jumped up from his seat cheering with joy at the fact his fate was still going to be ok.
The class looked at him like he was crazy. (who knows? Maybe he is...)
he probably was. He HAS been spending a lot of time with Sakura.
Then, the young Uchiha blushed. Hard. Which sent his fan girls into a squealing frenzy. He then rushed from the room. As he left the room, he saw Tenten rush past, chasing a laughing Neji. He decided not to question it. It was probably safer he didn't know.
At the end of the hallway, he saw a laughing Sakura. Which was honestly nothing new. She was laughing, and cheering on Tenten. Sasuke walked over to her.
Once he was standing beside her, he spoke. "I have been spending too much time with you." he stated, simply.
Sakura shrugged. "Ok. Why do you think that?" she asked, not taking her eyes off of Tenten and Neji. The girl had now tackled him to the floor, and was mercilessly punching him. He was still laughing.
Sasuke answered. "Because now, im jumping up and cheering in the middle of class. Just like you." he stated.
Sakura cackled. "Very good. Yes. This is very good indeed. that's it. that's it Sasuke. Yes.. come to the dark side. The dark side, is goooood! Yes.. that's it. Come to the dark side. We have cookies! You are almost there. Just a little bit further. Then you will have joined us. Yes.. that's it Sasuke-kun! You can do it. Fight along side me and my army! FIGHT ALONG SIDE US! You know you want to! Just a little bit more! MWAHAHAHAHA!" Sasuke began to slowly back away from the girl.
She noticed this. She got an evil glint in her eyes. "Join us, Sasuke. You know you want to... we have pink fluffy unicorns, that dance on rainbows." she tempted.
Sasuke gulped. 'how did she learn my weakness? I hid it so well!' (imagines locker decorated with pink unicorns and rainbows. Its the reason he never opens his locker when people are around. Somehow, Sakura must have seen this.) he freaked.
Sakura smirked in success. Just as the hallways began to fill up with people recently released from their classes to go to lunch, Sasuke fell to his knees, and began to praise Sakura, who stood all high and mighty with her hands on her hips, and a breeze blowing her hair back. "Oh! The all mighty Sakura! Teach me in the ways of the dark side! Teach me to fight along side you and your pink fluffy unicorns, as we all dance on rainbows! Please, lord Sakura. I beg of you to teach me your ways!" he praised.
Itachi was standing behind him, and was shocked his brother had said such things.
Hidan was beside Itachi, and had video taped the whole thing.
The hallway held an awkward silence, as they all tried to process everything they had just heard and seen.
ROOF SCENE!
Gai and lee were sitting on the edge of the roof. Gai spoke first. "Lee. It is too tiring to be youthful. We must try and find something else to be!" he exclaimed.
Lee nodded. "Agreed. It must be all the running and exercising we do. Maybe we should try to use smaller numbers! But, i am much stronger now." lee said.
Gai shrugged. "Very good. Just one question: what numbers are there, that are smaller than 200?" he asked. Since all of the numbers they used were all greater than 200, he has forgotten what numbers are smaller.
Lee shrugged. "i don't know. Is 300 smaller than 200?" he had also forgotten.
END ROOF SCENE! (idea for roof scene came from my little brother. Thanks bro!)
once everyone had arrived in the caff, the scene from the hallway was all anyone could talk about.
After 5 minutes, Sasuke got up, and dragged Sakura with him, for reasons unknown to authors. He tried to go to the roof. Key word: tried. And failed.
The schools itasaku shippers all stopped him. "Sakura is marrying Itachi-sempai. You should know that. you're his brother. So why are you trying to run off with her?"
Itachi was then dragged over. Sakura ran up to Itachi and hugged him. "Hello Tachi-kun!" she greeted. She then kissed his cheek, right beside his mouth.
Sasuke glared at his brother. "Nii-san! How DARE you take MY Sakura-chan from me?!" he growled. The entire caff all gasped, and stared in shock at what was going on before them. They didn't really know what was going on.
Itachi realized what his brother meant. "Why should i answer to you, foolish little brother? I am simply marrying the girl i love." he said, in a calm voice. Though everyone in the caff heard something else, creeping out in his voice. Was it... amusement? Uchiha Itachi? Amused? It couldn't be!
Sakura giggled and hugged Itachi.
Sasuke growled, and glared at his brother. "You mean you're marrying the girl you STOLE from me!" he yelled, effectively startling everyone in the room.
The entire caff all gasped, and started to murmur among themselves.
Sasuke continued. "remember when she had amnesia? She had been secretly dating ME at the time! Then, when you visited her, you simply told her that she had been dating YOU! YOU F*CKING LIED TO HER!" Sasuke yelled.
Itachi gave an innocent look to Sakura. "my dearest cherry blossom! You mustn't listen to what me foolish little brother is saying. He is simply jealous of our love!" Itachi exclaimed, passionately.
The entire caff full of itasaku shippers all 'awe!'d at that declaration of love.
Sasuke scoffed, which drew everyone's attention to him. They watched him with baited breath. "ya. Im jealous of the love you STOLE from me!" he yelled.
(SasuSaku fans beware!) Sasuke then grabbed Sakura, and pulled her close.
The entire caff all witnessed Sasuke kiss her. Or, they thought he did.
SASUSAKU POINT OF VIEW!
Sasuke looked Sakura in the eyes. He smirked, at hearing the caff all gasp in awe. They both stifled their laughter.
REGULAR POINT OF VIEW!
Itachi growled and pulled Sakura away from Sasuke. Sakura let out a shriek of surprise, then realized it was Itachi. She cuddled into him a bit.
Itachi moved, so he was between Sakura and Sasuke, keeping a hold of Sakura's hand. The 2 brothers had a short glaring contest.
The entire caff, then heard Sakura exclaim: "And... Scene!" the entire caff was confused as to what was going on.
The 3 turned to face their 'audience'. "Hope you liked the show! We had soo much fun performing for you. We would LOVE to stay, but, Broadway calls! You know how it is, right?" Sakura said.
The entire caff erupted into cries of anger, and were furious at the 3 of them.
The 3 actors and actresses, ran from the room, before they got mauled by the angry students.
The 3 ran to everyone in this stories favourite place to run to: THE ROOF! Home to injuries, and dead fish funerals! Oh, wait! You don't know about that yet. Ignore that part! Umm... rewind! Lets try this again! Favourite place to run to: THE ROOF! Home to injuries, and murderous Monopoly©!
The 3 of them burst out laughing once they were there.
BACK IN THE CAFF!
Everyone was still yelling and protesting. "How DARE they trick us like that!" one person screamed.
Sakura and Sasuke's friends were all impressed that Sakura managed to get the 2 stoic Uchiha's to act.
Together.
And make it believable.
Sure they acted out a fight, and acted like they hated each other, but still!
Then, a random no name itasaku shipper screamed. "Does this mean Itachi-sempai isn't marrying Sakura-chan?" they asked, in a desperate tone of voice. Sakura's fan club all gave victory cheers. There is still hope!
At hearing what the shipper of itasaku had said, the room erupted into more chaos than before. The itasaku shippers, arguing and yelling at the people (boys) who were in Sakura's fan club.
A boy with a loud voice spoke. "EVERYONE! SHUT THE HELL UP!" he screamed.
The room went silent.
A cricket was heard chirping.
A girl heard it, and ran from the room, screaming, clearly afraid of crickets.
Umm... back to the issue at hand people! Stick to the script!
The first itasaku shipper (the one who grabbed Itachi by his ponytail) stood on the table and spoke. "Alright. That little skit, was probably to make us THINK they aren't getting married, so we don't try to stop them." she gave a pointed look to the boys in Sakura's fan club. "so, on the night of the dance and pot luck dinner, which is supposed to be romantic, we will set it up for a proposal! I, personally, didn't see a ring on Sakura's finger!" the girl, whos name we learned is Bailey, exclaimed.
The caff erupted into claps and cheers.
From everyone.
Even Sakura's fan club.
Because Bailey had scared them into it.
Bailey stood all high and mighty above the crowd, who she thought was worshipping her.
ON THE ROOF!
Sakura, Sasuke, and Itachi were now laying on the ground, staring up at the sky.
It wasn't snowing today.
The 3 of them jumped when the door to the roof was thrown open. A bunch of boys who are in Itachi's grade came, lifted him off the ground, and dragged him away. Sasuke and Sakura just watched.
SILENCE!
ROOF SCENE!
Dylan (one of Cait123123cait's friends) was standing there, watching hockey on his phone. His all time favourite team (Montreal Canadians i think he said) had just won the game. He got all happy and stuffs! He started cheering and dancing all around and being really weird. (he probably wouldn't do that in real life. And if he reads this, he will probably hate me. Cuz hes just that kind of friend.)
he was soooo excited, that he didn't notice that a group of cute girls was watching him. And Cait123123cait! Me! I'm not cute though.
she (me!) ran up and hugged him. (now hes really going to kill me! He hate hugs!)
he froze. "Get. Off. Of. me. I hate hugs." he said.
Cait123 laughed. "Nope!" she exclaimed.
Dylan glared at her. "Why?" he asked, his voice dripping with venom. (i don't really know why I'm friends with him. Hes so mean! Hes ok ish though. I guess.) he was now more than a little annoyed.
She laughed again. "cuz its fun to bug you!" she said.
Dylan groaned. Cait123 spoke up before he could say anything. "i swear you're going to hate me by the end of the year." she smirked. Dylan just rolled his eyes.
(Haha! Sorry Dylan! You are my friend. I swear! I just couldn't think of anything else to do for the roof scene! And you're the one who gave me permission to use you in the story! NOT MY FAULT! Please don't hate me. Wait until February to hate me. Then you can hate me.) everyone! A round of applause for one of my best friends (i think) Dylan! He let me put him in mine and kelpies story! He deserves a HUG for that! MWAHAHAHAHA! Just kidding.. just kidding. I wont hug you Dylan. Not yet.
BACK TO SASUSAKU!
Sasuke looked over at Sakura, and raised an eyebrow. Sakura just laughed and shrugged.
The next day, everyone realized they only had a week left to
get a dance partner for the dance/ pot luck dinner
make food for dance/ pot luck dinner
get secret Santa gifts for their victims
plan Itachi's proposal to Sakura-chan. (her fan club was not too happy about that.)
Itachi couldn't get out of it though. No matter how hard he tried.
The shippers of itasaku, wouldn't let him get out of it.
Not now, and not ever.
So, once again, the shippers of itasaku had him greet his lover. Only this time, their plan was more... Elaborate than the last one.
Hidan knew of this plan. Itachi had him go under cover as an itasaku shipper, to learn of their devious plans, that could cost Itachi his reputation as an Uchiha.
Hidan and Itachi had come up with a plan to get Itachi out of this mess.
Sakura was then seen walking onto school property.
Holding Hidan's hand.
The shippers all freaked.
Itachi played his part.
The shippers, (Dylan had decided to join the shippers of itasaku. Or, rather, cait123123cait had forced him to. I love the power that comes with being an author.) all watched with baited breath for what was to happen.
Itachi walked up to them, and met them half way. "Sakura-chan. How could you cheat on me like this?" he asked.
Sakura instantly released Hidan's hand. "I-itachi! H-hi!" she tried to hug him, but he took a step back. His face not showing any emotion at all.
Hidan merely watched, feigning confusion. Something he does well.
Itachi looked at Sakura. "Why... Why are you with him?" he asked.
Sakura looked like she was about to cry. "I... i was... i mean.. we were... and then... so.." she just didn't know what to say. What could she say?
Itachi then yelled at her. "how long has this been going on? Do i now mean nothing to you? What about everything else? Does that all mean nothing to you now too?" he screamed. Sakura pretended to cry.
Hidan grew furious, and stepped in between the 2 of them. He was now glaring at Itachi. "Hey! You don't need to f*cking yell at her!" he exclaimed.
Itachi gave him his infamous Uchiha glare ©.
Hidan stood his ground.
Sakura continued crying.
Itachi looked at her, his glare softening for a second, before he said to her. "Sakura. I think... i think it would be best if we saw other people." as he said that, applause broke out all around them.
An itasaku shipper (Dylan) walked over. (Haha! Sorry Dylan! You don't even watch anime!) "That was almost as good as the Montreal Canadians winning the championships!" he exclaimed.
The 3 looked at him with confusion. Sakura dried her eyes, and she still looked like she might start crying at any given moment. "W-What do y-you mean?" she said cutely. Her fan club started fussing about her, making sure she was ok and what not. She ignored them.
Dylan continued. "that little skit. We, the itasaku shippers, have decided that you are going to try to convince us that you aren't eloping, so we, the Sakura fan club, don't try to stop you." he explained. The 3 looked at everyone around them.
Itachi texted the Akatsuki about an emergency meeting, and Sakura texted her friends.
That night, the Akatsuki, Sakura and Sakura's friends, were all crowed into the Uchiha's living room. Sakura, Itachi, Sasuke, and Hidan all explained what had happened with the eloping thing, how it was all a misunderstanding, and everything else.
After explaining that, and answering all of the questions, cause we all know that there were a lot, the large group finally understood the situation.
Neji made eye contact with Sakura.
She nodded. "Neji had a good idea." she exclaimed. The group all gave her their undivided attention. She explained his idea. "Why don't we..."
the next day, Sakura and Itachi walked to school with each other. Once they got to the school, they went their separate ways. This continued for the rest of the week.
On Thursday, Sakura was walking out of the school with Hidan. "Hey, blood blossom?" he asked.
She looked at him. "Ya?"
he looked around, to make sure no one would over hear him. He then asked "do you want to be my dance partner for the dance/ pot luck dinner tomorrow night?"
Sakura looked at him and smiled. His heart skipped a beat. She then nodded, and said 'yes.'
Hidan got all happy, and picked her up and spun her around.
That night, when Sakura got home, realization struck her.
She still didn't have a present for Ebisu-sensei.
And she needed it for tomorrow night.
By Friday night at 5, (one hour before Hidan would be by to pick her up) Sakura had a present for Ebisu-sensei. It will remain a secret for now. And yes, we actually know what it is. We just wont ell you yet. Its pinkish red though. We will tell you that much.
She wrapped it up, making it look all pretty.
She finished just as there was a knock on the door.
Sakura was sitting in the living room, and saw her mother walk by to answer it.
The door opened.
"Hello, mrs. Haruno, im here for-"
ht door was slammed shut, and Sakura's mother stalked into the living room, and plopped down on the couch.
Sakura rolled her eyes, and didn't even bother to look at her mom. "That was Hidan wasn't it?" she asked.
Her mother grumbled in response. Mebuki then spun around on the couch to face her daughter, a pout on her face. "I thought Itachi-kun would be taking you to the dance!" Mebuki whined.
Sakura sighed. "He was. But then a magical unicorn came and told him the leprechaun needed his help to rescue the dragon from the bridge monster. So he had Hidan take me instead." Sakura said sarcastically.
Her mother nodded in understanding. "I see. that's a very hard job. I hope he makes it back. I hear bridge monsters are very vicious this time of year. Oh well. I suppose i had better let him in." she said, as she got up, to re-open the door.
Hidan was still standing there. "Hello again bitch." he said.
Mebuki slammed the door again. "Sakura! Do you have to go to the dance with him?" Mebuki called.
Sakura sighed, got up from the couch, walked over, and opened the door for Hidan. Then, before her mother could say or do anything, she said good bye, and left.
Once they got to the dance/ pot luck dinner, Hidan (finally) noticed that his 'date' was carrying a HOMEMADE dish. Oh how he hoped it wasn't that dreaded dish that still managed to give him nightmares!
Sakura walked over to the food table.
Hidan watched her.
She placed the container on the table.
Hidan held his breath.
She took the lid off of the container.
Hidan got ready to scream.
He then saw, that inside the container, was a pizza.
The same pizza her grandmother made, when himself and Itachi had been invited over there for dinner.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
He was safe for another night.
The 2 of them then put their presents under the tree, grabbed some food, and sat down to eat.
After about half an hour, the song "Bad Apple" by Christina Vee started playing.
Much to everyone's amusement, Sakura began to song along. "Ever on and on, i continue, circling with nothing but my pain, in the carrousel of agony till slowly i forget and my heart starts vanishing. And suddenly i see, that i cant break free!..." at the end of the song, Sakura heard applause. The entire school had just heard her sing. And they liked it!
'Stephen-Sensei' then walked up to the mic. And started talking. "hello! Thank you soo much for coming! Now, grab your partners, and get ready... to dance!" he said.
The entire school was expecting Itachi to take Sakura onto the dance floor.
They were shocked to see her with Hidan instead.
The itasaku shippers had a conniption.
The Akatsuki was shocked beyond words.
Ino was smiling at everyone elses reactions.
Naruto, lee and Tobi, were all yelling at Hidan. "HEY! Purple eyes! Get your hands off of Sakura-chan!" screamed Naruto.
"The unyouthful Hidan-san! Please youthfully take your unyouthful hands off of the youthful Sakura-san's youthful waist!" cried the youthfully annoying lee. (sorry lee fans! He is kinda annoying though. Not all the time. Just at some points.)
"CHERRY-CHAN! TOBI WILL SAVE CHERRY-CHAN FROM HIDAN-SEMPAI! HIDAN-SEMPAI! TAKE HIDAN-SEMPAIS HANDS OFF OF TOBIS CHERRY-CHAN RIGHT NOW PLEASE!" Tobi screamed.
"No." was all Hidan said.
He smirked at all of their reactions.
Naruto and lee decided to let Tobi handle this.
"Why? Why, Hidan-sempai why? Why does Hidan-sempai hate Tobi so much? What did Tobi ever do to Hidan-sempai?" Tobi wailed.
Hidan looked the kid dead in the eyes. "Do you want the list in alphabetical order, numerical order, in the order of the alphabet, or in the order of numbers? Though i don't know what the first two mean." he said all smart like.
Tobi took him up on it. "alphabetical by number." he responded.
Hidan didn't know what that meant. He started listing off everything on McDonalds© menu.
Tobi drew a bunch of shapes.
Everyone stared dumbfoundedly at the 2.
'Stephen-Sensei' spoke up. "Hidan you Baka! Alphabetical means you tell the list of events in order of when they happened. You know, 20, 4, 15, 7, 9, 2, 11, 5, 16, 14, 8, 1, 12, 10, 6, 18, 19, 17, 13. Numerical means you tell the list in the order of the alphabet. You know, q, x, f, l, h, s, a, o, u, d, w, j, y, g, z, m, b, r, p, t, i, n, k, c, e. And alphabetical by number, does not mean you say McDonalds© menu. It means you say Mandarins© menu! Come on buddy! You should know this!" he explained.
Hidan saluted. "Yes sir! Sorry!" he then proceeded to list off mandarins© entire menu.
The entire school watched. Once Hidan was finished, Tobi nodded. "Got it! Tobi now knows the mass of the universe!"
Hidan patted his head. "Great! Could you explain it to me? I need to know how to find the area of a triangle for my math class." Hidan asked.
Tobi nodded. "First, you take ice." Hidan drew a picture of a horse. "Then, you take the dirt." Hidan wrote down the letter 'v'. "Next, you pull all of the diamonds out of the sun. You don't want the sapphires to be in your pillow." Hidan wrote the name of his first pet. "and finally, you mix it all together! That, Hidan-sempai, is how you make ice cream." Hidan finished the 'equation' he created, by writing the kanji for stupid.
He beamed at Tobi.
Tobi then asked him a question. "Hidan-sempai? Why is the sky blue?" he asked.
Hidan explained it to him like this: "blood is red, because the sun shines light on us making us all warm. When the pillow falls, it hurts. Especially if you hit your head on the wall." this went on for some time. (this sounds like the conversations me and kelpie have. A new topic every 5 seconds.)
Tobi nodded, and looked like he might ask another question. Before anyone could do anything, 'Stephen-Sensei' stepped in. "time for secret Santa! Then you can all go home." he called.
Everyone crowded around the tree, waiting for the life skills teacher to hand out the presents.
"he then began to call out names. "Sakura! Ino! Tsunade! Kyo! Yuki! oh. They work at the pet store down the street. Never mind!" once everyone got their gifts, they opened them. Shocking!
Alright. We will just tell you who gave what to who. And maybe why. There are a lot to get through, so its gunna go quick.
Naruto had gotten a plant and an alarm clock for Kakashi. Kakashi named the plant Mr. Ukki, without anyone, except Naruto, knowing.
Deidara was anxious to open his present. Once he did, however, he became wary of the math teacher, Hatake Kakashi. Kakashi had given him a copy of icha icha paradise.
Zetsu opened his gift, which was from Deidara, and shrieked in joy. "a Venus fly trap!" Zetsu ran up to the blonde, and hugged him tightly. Deidara shrieked in surprise and fear. "Help me! Plant boy is trying to kill me!" he gasped.
Chouji was next. His gift was from Zetsu. He had received a bag of potato chips. He was soo happy, that he glomped Zetsu, who was still hugging Deidara. The 3 fell over onto the ground.
Chouji had gotten a restaurant gift card for Kurenai-sensei.
Iruka had gotten his present from Kurenai. It was a dolphin plushy. There were 2 cards attached. One was from Kurenai. 'because your name means dolphin!' it read. The other, was from Asuma. 'don't get any ideas. She only got you a present because she had to.' Iruka looked at Asuma, to find him glaring at him. He gulped and began to walk away, hoping to come out alive.
Iruka had gotten an art set for Moegi. The girl just kind of looked at it, shrugged, put it back in the box, and went home.
Konohamaru had gotten a new hat from Moegi. He ran to try and catch her, so he could hug her.
Udon was worried about the gift he had gotten for Ibiki. He desperately wanted him to like it. Udon had gotten Ibiki a math text book. When Ibiki opened his present, he loved it almost instantly.
Ibiki walked over to Sasuke, just as Sasuke was opening his present. Inside the box, was a stack of coupons. 55 of them were for a night away from Sakura's mothers cooking, and about 30 of them, were for 1 hour with his niece. Alone. Sasuke smiled. Not smirked, SMILED. A true, and genuine smile.
Sasuke's 'victim' was Hanabi. He didn't know what to get her, so he just got her tomato seeds.
Hanabi had to shop for Konan. She ended up getting Konan over 1000 sheets of origami paper. Which Konan wholeheartedly loved.
Konan got an easy name to shop for. She got directions to one of the best winery's for Tsunade.
Tsunade had to shop for Udon. She just got him a note book of math notes.
Konohamaru had to do something for Sai. He got him an autographed photo (24" by 35") of someone everyone knew Sai loves. (we think) and also, Konohamaru got him a new sketchbook. Sai was overjoyed at both of them, and he ran home to draw more pictures of Ino, and to pin up the giant picture of Ino, right above his bed.
Shikamaru opened his gift. It was a self help book from Sai. He sighed, and muttered "troublesome." under his breath.
Shikamaru had to get a present for Sakura. He ended up getting her a cook book, and a gift card to a restaurant. Sakura was super happy. It meant time away from her mothers cooking! Yuss!
Sakura had gotten Ebisu-sensei a pair of pinky- red glasses. Ebisu sighed in exasperation. "Every year. Every year, someone ends up getting me pinky-red glasses. Every FREAKING YEAR!"
Ebisu had to shop for Jiraiya. When Jiraiya opened his gift, he laughed. He had gotten a signed, limited edition copy, of hid book. He had gotten a copy of icha icha paradise. Someone knew him. Someone knew him well! Realization then struck him. He has the original of all of the icha icha series, at his HOUSE. HE is the author of the series. He began to say words. Words that we are not allowed to say.
Tayuya poked the box in front of her. It didn't move, make noise, explode, or anything else she though it might do. In fact, it didn't do ANYTHING. She deemed it safe, and slowly took the lid off of the box. She had gotten a copy of icha icha as well. From the author himself. She stared at in shock for about 5 seconds, before she screamed and ran away.
Shizune was a little worried to open the gift she had been given by Tayuya. She had a right to be worried. In the box, was a cd. With a rant on it. A hating Hidan rant. Spoken by Tayuya. It was over 4 hours long.
Gai was anxious (in a good way) about what Shizune had gotten for him. He opened the box. Inside, was a self help book. It was called "how to accept when you're in denial." he smiled, and had tears running down his face anime style, at what he called "such a wonderful display of youthfulness!"
Gai had gotten a gift for Asuma. It was a "jump suit of youth!" as Gai called it. Asuma almost threw up.
Tenten was shocked to find out her present came from Asuma-sensei. It was a limited edition, Shinobi history textbook. She smiled. "How did he know it was my favourite subject? I only wrote it on the top of every single paper and test and quiz ever done in hat class! It couldn't have been that noticeable!" she smiled at the thought that he really knew people well.
ok. so this is dragging on too long. Some of them, we will elaborate on. Others we will just tell you the who ad what. Sorry for that! But we don't want to do another chapter 5. or even anything close to that.
Back to the story!

Juugo got a Sasuke plushy from Temari. He smiled at that.
Juugo got a coupon (which he had Neji's help on getting) which was good for one free minute of ogling Sasuke. And he IS NOT allowed to glare at the girl. It was for Ami.
Ami was shopping for Ino. She got her lipstick.

Shino got pink face paint for Kankuro.
Kankuro gave Hinata a hand made Naruto puppet.
And, last but not least, Neji gave Shino an ant farm.
That night, after everyone went home, they had a peaceful sleep, knowing they now had 2 weeks off from school.
