Love is War {Akatsuki Love Story} 13

"It's Christmas in Hollywood, Santa's back up in the hood..." I sang as I pranced around the living room, annoying the crap out of Hidan.

"Just shut the fuck up." Hidan mumbled, switching channels on the television.

"My gosh, you're are such a party pooper." Christmas was less than two weeks away. It would be the first time I wouldn't be with family for the holidays.

Deidara, Sasori, Lupin, and Lunae had been gone for the past week and a half, leaving me with Tobi, Pain, and Hidan, the only people I talk to here.

Tobi walked into the room, running a hand through his black hair.

"Why isn't your hair orange anymore?" I whined.

"Apparently you didn't use permanent dye. So after washing my hair again, it went away." He stuck his tongue out at me. "So, what are we watching?" He hopped onto the couch, stretching out over Hidan and me.

"Get your feet off of me!" Hidan shoved Tobi's legs off.

"Your such a killjoy..." Tobi rubbed his feet. "Anyways, I just came to remind you guys that Christmas is coming up! It would be so cool if this year we could have, like, a gift exchange."

"You and your ridiculous ideas." Hidan shook his head. "Pain's never going to allow that."

"Maybe he would!" Tobi defended himself. "We have three young girls with us, it would only be fair to allow them to experience the Christmas joy!" He waved his hands hysterically.

"One three, you say? I believe we have four. I'm looking at one." Hidan smirked, walking away.

"It's a great idea Tobi." I said, putting a hand on his shoulder. Tobi smiled, and began prancing around the room like he always did.

*~*Deidara's POV*~*

I felt so dirty. We had pulled a prank on Tobi and Miki, making them believe that her friends were severely injured, when in fact they were fine. We needed a diversion to get out of the place and do some Christmas shopping

"Deitard!" Lupin called. "I know she would love this!" She pulled a 'ninja cat' t-shirt. "At home she was always complaining that her cat was possessed."

We were in the mall, picking out gifts for everyone. Lunae and Sasori were on another aisle, picking out stuff for Tobi and Hidan.

"What about that?" I asked, pointing to an odd hat.

"Oh my god! That's perfect!" She began jumping up in order to reach it. I pulled it down for her. Lupin gently ran a hand through the fleece. "It's perfect." She looked up quickly. "I want those glasses!" She darted away from me, looking into a section that was filled with retro glasses. She pulled down a pair of black one that had the lenses poked out.

"What's with kids and their weird fashion sense." I shook my head, pinching the bridge of my nose.

"Look at that!" He leaned on the railing, looking down at a man dressed as Santa Claus. "I so want a picture with him!" She tossed me all of the clothes and useless shit before jogging down the stairs.

"Sasori, hold these!" I gave it to him before running down after her.

*~*Sasori's POV*~*

"Sasori, hold these!" Deidara tossed me clothes, a couple of hats, and a pair of nerd glasses. Lunae sighed.

"Lupin's such a paint in the ass when she gets hyped up." Her blue eyes filled with anger. "She should learn to act her age."

We continued walking through the aisles, looking for things that she would like for Christmas. We had somehow convinced Pain to let of have our own Christmas exchange.

Lunae suddenly froze and looked straight in front of her.

"What's wrong?" I shook for gently. She raised a shaky hand and pointed to a black t-shirt with three bees on it. 'Mindless Self Indulgence' was written with block letters. On the bottom was 'Our pain you gain' written in the same block writing. "I'm guessing that you want it?" I raised and eyebrow. She nodded slightly.

I chuckled and grabbed the t-shirt from the hanger, placing it inside the cart. She gazed at the rest of the music t-shirts.

"Miki would love this.." She mumbled, taking out a black t-shirt. 'Hollywood Undead' was written in white letter. All of the members, including Deuce, were on it. "Charlie Scene is her favorite." She pointed to a man wearing black shades, a black hat, and a custom made bandana that covered his mouth. She pulled it off the rack and put it inside our shopping cart.

We pretty much filled the entire cart up with random things we found.

"Let's go check out." We placed all of our things on the conveyor belt.

"You total will be...$203.95." The young cashier said. I handed him a credit card I had stolen off a man when we entered the mall. He handed it back to me and proceeded to bag our items.

"Call Deidara and tell him we'll meet him at the hotel." I motioned for her to go outside and waiting for me.

"Okay." Lunae whipped her cell phone out of her pocket and texted Deidara.

I caught up with her minutes later.

We were going to be staying at a hotel because it was obvious we couldn't be at home since we had already given the impression to Miki and Tobi that Lunae and Lupin were hurt. We had our own separate beds which I was glad for. The last time Deidara and I slept in the same bed, I awoke to find him nibbling on my ear with on leg on top of me. I was scarred for life after that little incident, where I discovered I was indeed straight.

We ended up walking home and relaxing until Deidara arrived with a complaining Lupin. She kept on saying how Deidara wouldn't let her take a picture with Santa Claus. I smiled at her childishness
