Merry X-mas and a fight....

Itachi's downstairs & playing the piano www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_YMJQ… *
Deidara's resting on a spare bed in Itachis' room.
Nicola's practising sword training in the backyard.
Saiori's writing in his journal.
Deidara slowly wakes up, stares at the wall & is thinking: How did I get here, I thought I went to my room.
Deidara coughs & heads down the stairs. Morning. *yawns*
Nicola: Morning Dei.
Saiori: Morning.
Deidara grabs the broken gift from under the tree. I have to go the blacksmiths for a moment.
Nicola: Broke something again?
Deidara nods. It wasn't for me though. Itachi, your welcome to tag along if you'd like.
Itachi nods while still playing.
Deidara starts heading out of the door with the broken item. You coming or not?
Itachi finishes playing then goes with Deidara.

*on the way to the blacksmiths*
Deidara: I'm sorry that your gift got broken.
Itachi: It's okay you were weakened I understand, isn't Naruto back yet?
Deidara: I don't know, I woke up finding myself in your room. I'm not even sure how I ended up in there in the first place.
Itachi: I'm going to find Naruto after this.
Deidara: I'll be glad to help if you'd like me to.
Itachi: Please.

*At the blacksmiths*
Deidara nods. Anyways, we're here. *knocks on the door*
Yuki opens the door.
The blacksmith: Welcome to Tokugawa blacksmith! How can I help you today?
Itachi bow to them.
Deidara passes Yuki the broken sword. I'm sorry to do this on X-mas day, but I broke the sword that I was going to give to a friend. Could you please fix it if you don't mind.
Yuki sighs. You break it on the day after we made it...I'm not even going to ask. *passes it to his dad*
The blacksmith starts repairing it.
Deidara: Thank you.
Yuki: Just come back later this afternoon & it'll be done by then.
Deidara nods. Will do. *walks out of the door.*
Itachi follows after. Lets go find Naruto.
Deidara: Might as well. He'll be either at Ichiraku's or the training grounds.
Itachi: Remember he went Kyuubi.
Deidara: That I didn't know.
Itachi closes eyes to try sense Naruto.
Deidara: Anything?
Itachi: Head for the north gate.
Deidara: Ok, lets go then.
Itachi heads for the north gate.
Deidara follows after Itachi.

*At the North gate.*
Itachi: He's not too far out.
Deidara: If you say so.
Itachi: We're close to him.
Deidara nods with a cough.
Itachi: Want me to carry you & there he is.
Deidara: I'll be fine, it's just a cough.
Itachi nods.
Naruto's on seventh tail halfway to eight still versing Hidan & all of Kakuzu's hearts from last night.
Itach: Damn this bad.
Deidara nods. I don't know what to do when he's like this.
Hidan starts preparing his jashin ritual.
Kakuzu's using water/lightning & fire/wind combos with the hearts.
Kyuubi dodges then attempts to land a hit on them.
Hidan: Hey Kakuzu, looks like we have company.
Kakuzu: How annoying...just when we were about to end this.
Four of his tails kill a heart then fires volley of chakra bullets at everyone.
Itachi: Get down! *takes cover taking Deidara as well*
Deidara: Thank you.
Itachi: No problem.
Kakuzu tries to lure the Kyuubi away with Hidan from the area as the hearts target Itachi & Deidara.
Deidara does the hand signs for hidden mole.
Kyuubis' eighth tail forms as it starts to very slowly manifest into the nine tails.
Itachi's thinking: This is bad.
Deidara: I don't know what to do..
Itachi uses a firestyle to create a distraction.
Deidara: I hope that works.
Naruto ears twitch & lets out a roar.
Hidan: F**k, it would be a lot easier if Madara or Pein where here right now but noooooo they just had to be on another f**kin meeting!!!
Kakuzu: Just stop complaining & focus on defeating this jinchuriki host.
Kyuubi snarls & looks in Itachi's direction.
Itachi looks at Naruto as well.
Deidara explodes one of his spiders close to Hidan then runs off into the forest.
Itachi: Firestyle Fireball Jutsu!!!!
Hidan: WHO THE F**K WAS THAT?!
Kakuzu: We're not the only ones here moron!
Hidan grabs his scythe & chases after Deidara.
Kyuubi tails deflects the jutsu & focuses on Itachi.
Itachi jumps in front of Hidan breaking his scythe again. Oh no, I broke it.
Deidara keeps running deeper into the forest.
Hidan: F**kin son of a f**king asshole!!!!!!!! *pulls out extendable spear & slashes at Itachi*
Kyuubi throws a large chunk of earth at Kakuzu then runs off*
kakuzu dodges out of the way.
Itachi catches & breaks it too.

*In the forest*
Deidara stops & sets off a trap that ties Hidan in paper bombs tied with wire.
Hidan gets caught in the wire. Tch! @#$%in pussy!
Kakuzu: nuisense...*uses his heart to slash the wires to free Hidan*
Hidan starts ripping off the paper bombs & throws them at Deidara.
Itachi slashes Kakuzu & Hidans' head off.
Deidara sighs. That was close. Thank you.
Kakuzus' tentacles reattaches his head back on like it was nothing.
Hidan: For f**k sake not again!!!
Kakuzu: ....Hidan we're leaving *sews Hidan's head back on & the two of them puff into smoke*
Itachi sighs. That was close. *heads back for Naruto*
Deidara follows after Itachi. Naruto, calm down. It's us!
Naruto lays on the ground to recover from his injuries & stares at them as the ninth tail starts to slowly form.
Itachi pulls out a scroll.
Naruto snarls at Itachi as all it's tails attack Deidara & Itachi.
Itachi moves out of the way in time grabbing Deidara along the way.
Deidara dodges that attack by jumpping on to owl. Only if someone was here to help us.
Itachi jumps on Naruto slapping the scroll on his back. Deidara stay up there!! *goes to level one oni*
Deidara: Right!
Naruto turns his head & grabs the scroll with his teeth & tears it off then slashes at Itachi with his claws.
Itachi doesn't move or get effected by the hit.
Naruto turns his attentioin towards Deidara & sends a volley of large chakra bullets at the owl.
Itachi: Move!!!
Deidara moves out of the way fast & sends a clay bird towards Naruto which explodes on impact.
Naruto lets out a roar while dark chakra starts to surge as the last tail is halfway complete & extends its hand to grab the owl as the tails try to hit Itachi.
Itachi grabs the tail.
Deidara: Damn you! *jumps down & trys to give Naruto a heavy punch*
Naruto grabs the owl & throws it at Deidara causing it to explode.
Deidara dosen't get affected by the attack.
Itachi slaps another scroll on Naruto, scrolls starts working instantly on him.
Naruto tries ripping it off but fails as fires chakra bullets in a fit of rage.
Itachi grabs Deidara & takes cover.
The Kyuubi tails & the cloak start to disappear.
Deidara: Watch the arm!
Itachi: Sorry. *watches Naruto* It's working!
Deidara: You didn't know that it was still hurting. Looks like it.
Kyuubi: Don't think that this is over...one day I will be free...*vanishes*
Naruto lies on the ground unconcious with blood staining his clothes.
Itachi picks up Naruto. Come on.
Deidara sighs. Looks like we'll need to pay a visit to the hospital.....again.
Itachi heads for the hospital.
Deidara follows after Itachi.

*Konoha - The hospital*
Naruto mumbles. Sasuke-kun...
Sakura: Itachi, Deidara? What are you two doing here? Aren't you meant to be celebrating or something?
Itachi: Please help him.
Sakura looks at Naruto & starts treating his injuries. Looks like the fox cloak took over again.
Itachi nods.
Deidara leans against a wall.
Itachi: You okay Deidara.
Deidara nods. I'm fine, just a bit sore from the other day that's all.
Itachi: Ah.
Naruto starts to wake up. W-what the heck happened?
Sakura: Try not to move around.
Naruto barely manages to sit up. I gotta find Sasuke.
Itachi: Sasuke's back, I brought him back yesterday.
Naruto: You did? Then why don't I remember that happening, I could've sworn I was with you guys the whole time.
Itachi nods.
Deidara slides down onto the floor.
Itachi: Hmmm? *helps Deidara up*
Naruto rubs head. Why the heck can't I remember what happened in the akatsuki base?
Sakura finishes healing. From those injuries you went kyuubi again however I don't know the full story.
Itachi: The Kyuubi awakened during the fight.
Deidara: Thank you, my arm has been hurting for the last few days now.
Itachi: No problem.
Sakura: Do you want me to have a look at your arm too Deidara?
Naruto: Again...? *sighs* Guess that explains it, here I was thinking I was starting to get a bit of control over it.
Deidara: It's up to you if you want to of not.
Itachi: You can always ask Killer Bee.
Naruto: I guess I could...
Sakura examines Deidara's arm.
Itachi puts on a facemask.
Deidara: Going out?
Itachi shakes his head.
Deidara: Where you going then?
Itachi points around the corner. Look over there.
Naruto: Man my head hurts...it feels like I got hit with Sasuke's fireball jutsu or something.
Sakura: Wouldn't be surprised if he did considering how much you used to argue.
Deidara flinches as a nerve pinches. Oh?
Sakura injects a needle into the arm & ties a bandage over it.
Naruto: Itachi, how long was I in kyuubi?
Itachi: For two days.
Naruto: Two days?!
Itachi: Yes. *notices being bowed at & bows back*
Deidara growls towards Sakura. Watch it, that hurt!
Sakuras' right eye twitches & glares.
Naruto: (thinking: He's asking for it...he'll get the same treatment as Sai if he keeps it up) Two whole days...can't believe I went kyuubi for that long.
Deidara: I'm not used to needles, sorry for that.
Itachi scratches back of his head. Strange...
Deidara: Hmm, what's wrong?
Itachi: I just got bowed at.
Deidara: Fair enough.
Itachi bows again.
Deidara: Anything wrong with it?
Itachi: It was just unexpected thats all, I guess they know now about my tactician work.
Deidara nods. I see.
Itachi reads a book.
Sakura: You just need to take it easy for a while Deidara.
Naruto stands up but nearly trips over.
Itachi stops Naruto from tripping quickly.
Deidara: I see.
Sakura: Which means no exploding things.
Naruto: Thank you, Itachi.
Itachi: No problem.
Deidara sighs. Fine, I'll try not to.
Naruto: Well this is one way to start the day. *sighs* Can't believe I missed out on Ichiraku's special deal today dattebayo......
Itachi: Want to head back then?
Deidara: Here, use this. *passes Naruto something, using his left hand*
Naruto beams with joy. A ramen coupon!!! Can't wait to have some ramen!!!!!
Deidara: I found it in the street on my way to find you. Which reminds me, I have to get that sword back from the blacksmiths.
Itachi: I'll come with you Deidei.
Deidara nods. Thank you. Might as well get going then.
Naruto ties on his headband. Thanks for helping Sakura-chan.
Sakura smiles. Happy to help.
Itachi waits outside.
Deidara walks outside & heads towards the blacksmiths.
Naruto follows them.
Itachi goes in an abandoned alley way then goes in wolf form then comes back out.
Naruto yawns. Soooo why do you need to go to the blacksmiths?
Deidara: You'll see.

*At the blacksmiths*
Deidara: Hello, I'm back.
Itachi wonders around while in wolf form.
The blacksmith: Welcome back.
Yuki passes wrapped the sword. Here all fixed.
Itachi looks about.
Deidara takes the sword. Thank you. I'll try not to break it on the way back.
Itachi keeps looking about while walking.
Naruto: Tokugawa blacksmith???
Yuki: As long as you pay then we have no complaints.
The blacksmith: Just try not to break it again, its a waste of steel repairing it over & over.
Deidara: Don't worry I will. *hands the money for the repairs over* Might as well meet up with Itachi.
Itachi heads back to meet up with Deidara & Naruto.
Naruto nods.
Ketsumi: MERRY CHRISTMAS PUPPPYYYY!!!!! *GLOMP*
Itachi whimpers when glomped.
Deidara: Ketsumi, if you don't mind. Could you please stop that. As your hurting him.
Itachi licks Ketsumis' face.
Ketsumi: But Ketsumi is a good girl, I wouldn't hurt puppy.
Yuki: Ketsu! *waves a candycane*
Ketsumi: Candy!!! *lets go of Itachi & grabs the candycane quickly eating happilly*
Itachi stretches.
Deidara sighs. I think I know what's going to happen next.
Itachi looks at Deidara & tilts his head.
Deidara: We better get going, as I don't want to be here when something happens.
Itachi nods then heads back.
Ketsumi jumps up & down then clings onto Yuki* Thank you Sempai!!!!
Yuki: No problem!
Naruto rubs his right eye & follows.
Deidara puts something on the counter for Ketsumi & follows after Itachi.
Deidara: Naruto, your sleepy aren't you?
Naruto nods.
Deidara puts the sword on his side. Want a lift?
Naruto sways left & right slight, shakes his head. It's fine, going kyuubi really drains me thats all.
Deidara puts Narutos' arm around his neck. Is this better?
Naruto: A little. *yawns*

*Uchiha Estate - Main House*
Itachi goes in normal form. Back!
Deidara sits Naruto on one of the couches & places the sword under the tree.
Deidara: Looks like someone's been buzy during the night. Has anyone seen Saiori?
Nicola: Welcome back. *smiles*
Saiori walks down the stairs. Your late again....
Naruto rubs his eyes & lays on the couch. Where's sasuke-kun... -.-
Itachi smiles back. He must be still unconscious.
Naruto sighs.
Itachi sits down & plays the piano again. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqnNap… *
Deidara: I'm not late, I had to do a few things. Also, happy X-mas.
Naruto slowly falls asleep from listening to the piano while holding his team photo. ((the squad 7 one))
Saiori: You made others wait for you. *glares*
Nicola: Cheer up Saiori *sits back & listens to the piano*
Saiori: Fine. Merry christmas danna.
Itachi smiles while playing.
Deidara: Anyways, who wants to open some presents up?
Naruto mumbles in sleep. I'm not celebrating christmas until Sasuke wakes up....zzzz
Nicola: Isn't that what you usually do in the mornings Dei? *pokes tongue* You leave things to the last minute a lot.
Itachi's talking while still playing. So wheres Riku & Kurohi?
Deidara: hehe, true.
Saiori: They mentioned something about a date & went off somewhere.
Itachi: Ah. *finishes playing*
Deidara: Hmmm. *looks at his right arm & is thinking: It's still hurting*
Nicola pokes Naruto's shoulder* He fell asleep again, thats your music for you, can send people to sleep.
Saiori: Arm hurting again?
Itachi smiles & nods.
Nicola smiles back.
Itachi: I guess it's not the flute that sends him to sleep.
Deidara nods. Yeah, it has for the last few days now.
Nicola: I think a few of your instruments do the trick. maybe next time he gets loud try send him to sleep.
Saiori: It should heal over a short few days, you've been through worst I think.
Itachi: Good idea.
Deidara: Yes, I have. Anyways, it's late & I think that we'd all go to bed.
Itachi yawns. Good idea. *lays on the second couch*
Deidara starts heading up to his room.
Itachi: Night guys.
Nicola: Hopefully Sasuke will be up. Goodnight guys *kisses Itachi before going upstairs*
Saiori: Night *follows Deidara into his room & lays on his own bed*
Deidara: Night. *goes to his own bed & falls asleep*
