The server migration borked up some of the old threads, but you can last seven years' on ffnet.
Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve.
A silent apartment, with garlands and lights hanging from the walls along the edge of the cieling. The low table was pushed to the side to make room for a tree, with lights spiralled around it and many ornaments hanging from it's branches.
Stockings were hung from the curtain rod above the window, each marked with names: Naruto, Tenten, Konohamaru, Pops, Iruka, Moegi, Udon, and more. An elf doll was tucked into the one labelled Naruto.
The door slid open, and a man in an orange jacket stepped through, walking into the room, rubbing his blond hair sheepishly.
"I don't want to nag, but seriously, I asked you twice if you had everything." A woman sighed in exasperation as she folowed him, adjusting her white coat as she shook her head, the buns in her hair bobbing.
"I know, I know." Naruto replied. "And I'm sorry."
"Well, it's alright, then." Tenten sighed, as she brushed past him. "Where did you say it was again?"
"I just left it on the kitchen counter." Naruto replied.
"I'll get it." Tenten said.
"You don't have to." Naruto protested.
"It's fine." She easily dismissed, striding past him to duck into the hallway.
Naruto sighed, glancing around the apartment with a warm smile.
The tree that Tenten and him had gotten, and decorated when her dad came over to visit.
He'd tricked Iruka into making decorating his apartment an official D-rank mission, and worked together with Ebisu to harass Konohamaru and his friends over it. Well, he'd made them stockings and they were going to come over later in the day.
He smiled at the stockings, and then flinched back.
There was a dead-eyed elf with a creepy smile tucked in his stocking.
Watching.
Naruto grimaced, shuffling aside. The eyes were pained on, woodenly staring in one direction, but somehow he knew it was still watching him.
"Alright, I found it." Tenten announced, walking out of the kitchen carrying a wine-bottle with a ribbon tied around it. "Now let's get over to the Tower and party."
"Thanks!" Naruto said, smiling, as he snuck a glance.
"What's wrong?" Tenten asked.
"It's just..." He struggled to find words. "Did you put that doll up there?" He asked, pointing at the thing sticking out of his stocking.
Tenten frowned at it. "No, I've never seen it before." She shoved the bottle into Naruto's hands, and walked forward, fearlessly plucking the plastic-faced monstrousity from his stocking.
"Weird." She said, frowning. "The instant I touched it, it felt like a jutsu was disrupted." She turned it over, examining it. "I don't know about this seal array." She announced, looking up. "We should ask about it when we get to the party."
"Sounds good." Naruto replied. "We ready to go, then?"
She smiled. "Let's head out."
The door closed behind them, and the apartment was quiet once more.

Deep in the deserts of Sand Country, there was a cave hidden in a cliff. Inside that cave inside that cliff, a lump in black adorned with red clouds stirred.
Behind his hand seals, Sasori of Red Sand slowly opened his eyes, and then spoke.
"They're on to me."
