Chapter 7: The Reds Collide

Deidara had brought me into a stray building, it was called Study Haven. He came to a private room and held his hand on the knob. "Now, be very quiet." He murmured. I nodded and breathed in and out, trying to relax myself. He opened the door and instantly, golden-brown eyes shot at me. Another red haired boy like me, had wide eyes and a gaped mouth. "G-Gaara-kun?" His eyes were struck with shock and joy. I could barely believe what was before me. "Sasori . . ." I let his name wind around in my mouth. It felt unusual to say it after to so long. Sasori had stood up, dropping his pen on the floor.

Seconds after, I was caught in a tight hug. "I'm so glad you're alright." I embraced him, taking in familiar warmth that I felt as a child. The last time we saw each other was when we were toddlers. We had lost each other in a terrible hurricane. That's why I moved to the Hidden Leaf. I was tired of the tragic life in the Rain Village. The Sand Village was too confining for my family, so we moved out when I was just a baby and Kankuro and Temari were two years old.

Sasori let go of me and ruffled my hair. "Good to see you again." We laughed for a moment before he was back to being serious. He was talking to another student who seemed older than all of us. He had shiny white hair and purple eyes. "Hidan, we need a new tactic." So, his name was Hidan. Odd. I swore I knew a Hidan from somewhere. Or was it Hidani?

Hidan nodded and took some papers out of a stack. I peered at the papers and saw that the top said, Dance Club. I gasped and many eyes were set on me. I backed up to the door and stared back at everyone there. "What up with you?" One student said. She was an interesting one. She had two brown puffs balls of hair on her head and she wore baggy green pants, a white and black shirt, and some shades. "Yo, who is he?" She asked Hidan. Hidan gave me a good hard examine. "He's Sasori's cousin." He said, then he smiled wickedly. "I saw you dance! Join the club." My demeanor seemed to bounce up a million levels.

"That'd be nice." I said quietly, a bit unsure of myself. The girl rose her chin and I could tell she had an impressed look on her face through her shades. "So you were that guy out there?" She muttered to herself. "Dancin' with that Naruto dude." They all laughed and I rubbed the back of my neck awkwardly. "Nobody else wanted to be my partner." Deidara sat down next to her and kind of bumped her on the shoulder. "Shut the hell up, Tenten. Give em' a break." Tenten huffed and started tapping her fingers on her tablet.

Hidan chuckled and rested his chin on his palm. "We have a lot of members. Oh, let me take attendance! Deidara."

"Here."

"Sasori."

"Present."

"Gaara."

"Here."

"Tenten."

"Yo."

"Deidara."

"Ka-boom."

"Hmm, Ino must be in her room. Naruto?"

I gasped. Naruto was in this club? My life was saved.

"Seems he's not here. Can't blame the guy. He's been rushing around all weekend." Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Yagura."

Everything fell silent and Tenten sighed. "My man ain't here." She pouted. Deidara shrugged and leaned lazily in his chair. "He's a not-stop impresser in hip-hop raves, that's all know." Tenten smirked, adjusting her shades. I started to like this girl's attitude. She wasn't afraid to be herself. Such bravery and freedom. I knew this was bad, but I started to envy her. "So, let me read out all the people who have requested to join." Hidan announced. There was silence again.

"So, we have various applications. . ." He murmured, fastening his glasses on. "Okay, so we have Kiba Inuzuka who has mastered bass-step." Tenten nodded, lifting her shades in interest. I crossed my arms, a bit ashamed that nobody mastered in slow dances and let-go like I did. "Sakura Haruno was going to but she chose Art Club instead." I rose an eyebrow. So she could draw?

"Oh and our leader will be Kakashi-sensei." Many of them cheered but I had no idea who that guy was. I'd have to keep that name in mind. I hit my fist to my hand. "He must master in all dances then." Sasori smirked. "Exactly." Deidara sat up for the first time in his chair. "That's amazing." Hidan put the papers away and closed his hand bag. "So, next weekend we'll be able to gather all of our attendants." Everyone stood and exited the room. I was about to walk out but something grabbed my arm and pulled my back in. The door was slammed in front of me and I gasped. I was hit against the wall and instantly a mouth was put up against my lips.

It wasn't the normal lips of a person, it was lips, from a hand. I flinched as a tongue entered my mouth. From the corner of my eyes I saw Deidara giving the outside of the room a harsh and serious look. The tongue played with my mouth, making me moan slightly as I tried to pull the hand away. It seemed like Deidara barely noticed and he snatched his hand away. I string of saliva fell to the floor. I blushed and Deidara's eyes were full of apology. "I'm sorry! My hand is just flat out crazy." I gave him a very fury bidden death glare. "What the shit was that for?" I growled lowly. Deidara sighed and shook his head. "It's just . . .someone I dread was out there."

My mind was fogged with anger. "Who the hell was it? Why don't you man up and confront him!?" Deidara put a finger to my lips. "It's because . . .rumor has it he's a pedophile."
