"Ino, where are we going?" Sakura asked as we hurried down the street towards mine and Ino's house. Ino was bouncing on her feet, which was a sure sign the she was happy. I laughed and let myself be dragged as we raced down the road.

"Hello girls!" Mrs. Nanri called. I turned and waved, getting dragged backwards. I swiveled around and broke Tenten's grip on my arm. I ran to beat Ino to our house. We tore through the meadow on her land. I made it to the door and opened it, rushing inside with Ino right behind me.

"Nii-san! We're home!" Ino and I called and we grinned at each other. Deidara was our brother, best brother ever.

"In the kitchen!" He called and we walked to the kitchen, panting. When we reached the kitchen, I grabbed two glasses and tossed one to Ino. She caught it while looking in the fridge and I pulled out the ice. I poured water from the tap and to a sip.

"Much better." I said and set the cup down. I turned around and found seven boys looking at me. I rubbed my arm. "Is there something on my face?" I asked, blushing at the attention. The blond smiled and shook his head. I put my head down, feeling my face flush.

"Little sisters, this is my friend Xander and his music group, U-Kiss." Deidara said and I snapped my head up, mouth hanging. Ino closed my mouth and I still felt a shock rinsing my veins.

"That's five bucks, Cho." Temari said. I grabbed the hand Ino was putting in her pocket. I turned to Temari, my face on of displease.

"You bet on me? You bet on me?" I asked, my voice icy and dead. Temari booked it from the kitchen and I walked to the cabinet.

"I give her five minutes to realize I'm not following." I said and grabbed some ice. I popped a couple cubes into my mouth and put the rest in my water. I waited for five minutes until I heard Temari screech my name. Ino laughed.

"Right on cue." Hinata said and we burst into laughter. We smiled and waited.

Temari made it into the kitchen and found us laughing. Her eyes burned and I hugged her. She hugged me back and sighed.

"Wimp." she muttered. I let go of her and stood there with my mouth open.

"I am not a wimp!" I managed to say. The room echoed in laughter. I blushed and grabbed my water. I stalked out of the room, making them laugh harder. I walked upstairs to my room and opened my door. The pale blues of my curtain blue with the wind from the outside world. I pushed play on my CD and sang to the music playing. I heard a voice outside my door singing with me. It was a males voice. I opened my door to find the blond boy that had smiled at me and shook his head.

"You sing beautifully." He said in choppy Korean. I smiled.

"You're Korean sucks, unlike your voice. I speak English, do you?" I asked. He blushed and nodded. I let him in my room. I walked over to my snake and pulled her out.

"What type of snake is he?" The boy asked in English this time.

"She is a pit viper. You can tell by the pits on her head, near her mouth." I said, holding her head so he could see. He smiled and rubbed the snake's head. My snake traveled up onto his shoulders.

"She likes you. Isn't that sweet?" I asked and he nodded. Someone started to bang on the door.

"DONGHO! ARE YOU IN THERE?" Someone asked from outside. Dongho opened the door, my snakes still on his shoulders. The person at the door gasped and Dongho walked back to my bed and sat down.

"Why do you have a snake?" The person from outside the door asked. Dongho sighed. The person walked in and saw me sitting on my bed.

"Hello. I'm Kevin. You are Lessa, yes?" He asked in perfect English and I nodded. He smiled and turned to Dongho.

"Deidara wishes for you and Lessa to come downstairs. He wishes to apologize to Lessa for the laughter, as do I." Kevin turned to me. "Please forgive my laughing at you and your friend."

"Sister. Temari is my sister. No worries anyway. That is an everyday thing so I decided to put an act on for you guys." I said, shrugging and laying back.

"Hyung, you should hear her sing! She's absolutely wonderful." Dongho exclaimed and I hid under my pillow. I heard a muffled laugh and pulled my head from under the pillow. Deidara was laughing in my door frame. I felt my face burn a bright red ad proceeded to hide under my pillow once more.

"Go bug Ino!" I yelled, my voice muffled because of the pillow. I heard Deidara's laugh fade away as he walked off. I puled my head from under the pillow and sighed. I took my snake back from Dongho, letting her wrap around my shoulders. Dongho felt my face and smiled. I sent him a questioning look.

"Well, you face has lost the flush and you are really pale." He said, smiling at me like he did in the kitchen. "Kevin, find Soohyun hyung and bring him up here." Dongho asked, flicking his bright brown eyes to Kevin.

"Gotcha." Kevin said and waked off in the direction of the stairs. I liked the fact that Dongho and I are in a comfortable not awkward silence. I start humming.

"Will-will you sing again?" He asked. I smiled.

"Sparkling angel I believe
You were my savior in my time of need.
Blinded by faith I couldn't hear
All the whispers, the warnings so clear.
I see the angels,
I'll lead them to your door.
There's no escape now,
No mercy no more.
No remorse cause I still remember

The smile when you tore me apart.
You took my heart,
Deceived me right from the start.
You showed me dreams,
I wished they'd turn into real.
You broke a promise and made me realize.
It was all just a lie.

Sparkling angel, I couldn't see
Your dark intentions, your feelings for me.
Fallen angel, tell me why?
What is the reason, the thorn in your eye?
I see the angels,
I'll lead them to your door
There's no escape now
No mercy no more
No remorse cause I still remember

The smile when you tore me apart
You took my heart,
Deceived me right from the start.
You showed me dreams,
I wished they'd turn into real.
You broke a promise and made me realize.
It was all just a lie.
Could have been forever.
Now we have reached the end.

This world may have failed you,
It doesn't give you reason why.
You could have chosen a different path in life.

The smile when you tore me apart
You took my heart,
Deceived me right from the start.
You showed me dreams,
I wished they'd turn into real.
You broke a promise and made me realize.
It was all just a lie.
Could have been forever.
Now we have reached the end." I sang. Dongho clapped and so did a few others. I blushed and apple red.

"Lessa, this is Xander hyung, Soohyun hyung, Kibum hyung, Kiseop hyung, Eli hyung, and you know Kevin hyung." dongho said, pointing to each one.

"I also know Xander. I mean, how could I forget my old babysitter?" I said and Xander just shook his head.

"Babysitter or not, I had no idea you sang." Xander said and I got up and hugged him. I laughed as he tickled me. I pulled away and went back for my snake.

"Whoa. Snake." Eli said. I nodded and held my snake. "What kind?" He asked, stroking her head.

"Pit viper. She's quite tame. Would you like to hold her?" I asked holding, my snake out. Eli took and held her around his neck. Kevin and Kiseop backed up. "Let me guess, Kevin and Kiseop aren't snake people?" I asked and Eli laughed.

"You could say that." He said and I let myself laugh a little before heading for my monitor lizard. I pulled out my monitor lizard and held him closely. Dongho backed up. "He is very safe. All my animals are safe. I have an entire room for reptiles. Would you like to see the reptile room?" I asked and I got five eager nodded and two unsure approvals. I replaced the monitor lizard and my viper into their respective cages and walked down stairs. I took a left and walked past the kitchen. I led the guys down a damp and dark hallway and opened a door. I led them past the alligators, who left out the door for the pond and the Gila monitors to the snake room. I opened the door and picked the king snake that had got out of its cage up and placed it in the king cage.

"Like? Dislike?"
