Chapter Three- Meeting Sai

"I don't see why we have to tidy our rooms, he's not going to be sleeping in them!" Mello said angrily, once again, he was arguing with Sakura.

"Mello! You have to tidy your room so that it will seem more homely, you jackass!" She yelled back, they were on other sides of the dining room table, she was finishing off her English homework while he was yelling.

"With you yelling it wont seem homely, bill board brow!" He shouted back, oops. Standing up she fumed at him before walking round the table to stand face to face with him.

"LEAVE MY FOREHEAD OUT OF THIS!" She screamed and in less than a second Mello was sent flying across the room by a punch from the pink haired fighter, seeing that Mello was smart it was pretty stupid of him to anger a girl who knew five types of martial arts and was incredibly strong.

"Yeah! You go Sakura!" Ino shouted from the door. The blond turned to Mello. "You know Mello, I've never seen a guy taken down by a girl, mind you, you still look like a girl!" She laughed at the crumpled heap that was Mello.

"Shut the hell up Ino-pig!" Mello yelled back, getting to his feet, as soon as he was on them someone pinned him against the wall.

"What did you just call my sister!?" Mello stared, blond hair hanging over one eye and the rest tied back, weird tattoos of mouths on his hands, long black coat with red clouds on, oh crap.

"Er, hey Deidara!" He said, trying to sound cheerful.

"Don't you hey Deidara me! What did you call my sister jackass!?" The blond artist yelled, Mello could tell that whatever he answered he was bound to get hit for.

"Nothing?"

"He called me Ino-pig," Ino answered, pretending to look hurt. The wind was pushed out of Mello as Deidara hit him hard in the stomach, the artist let him fall to the floor and walked towards the door.

"Watch it kid." He muttered before leaving the room.


Half an hour later found Mello in his room, for once, he was tidying it. Matt meanwhile was sat against the door playing on his game boy which was beeping and booping.

"Don't you have your room to be tidying?" Mello asked, looking over.

"Nope, I did it this morning, and you know, you'd better hurry up or you'll have to do the dishes like Watari said."


It took Mello an hour to tidy his room and as they went down stairs the doorbell rang. Watari and Minato ushered them into the living room where everyone else was already waiting, Matt heard the door being answered and after a few moments Minato came back into the room, Watari was following with a teenager about Mello's age. The boy had short black hair which was like Sasuke's only flat at the back, in fact he looked a lot like Sasuke, both their faces were devoid of all emotion and both had deep black eyes.

"Everyone this is Sai, Sai this is-" Minato was cut across by Ino.

"Hey! I'm Ino!" The blond called waving.

"Well, I'll leave you to it," Both Minato and Watari left the room, Sakura stood up.

"Hello Sai, I'm Sakura Haruno, it's nice to meet you." She held out a hand for him to shake but instead he just looked at her before running out the room. "Huh?" She said in surprise, Mello burst out laughing.

"You just got rejected Sakura!" He yelled.


Sai's POV

He but his lip nervously as Roger rang the doorbell of Wammy's House and waited until someone answered, a man with spiked blond hair answered and smiled at him, "Come on in, Sai." The raven haired boy followed him and Watari down a short corridor until Minato walked into a room, Sai hesitated then followed. He didn't expect the sight in front of him, the room was filled with kids, all of them looking over at him. He heard Minato introducing him, then a blond girl stood up and waved to him.

"Hey! I'm Ino!" She called, he stared at her, so the loud blond was Ino, he mused to himself, not noticing that Minato and Watari had left until a girl with pink hair stood up and walked over to him.

"Hello Sai, I'm Sakura Haruno, it's nice to meet you." Even though she had held out a hand for him to shake he didn't, he just stared at her, why were people talking to him? Why was everyone being nice to him? They were planning something, he knew they were. Turning on his heel, Sai fled from the room, he heard someone laugh then shout, "You just got rejected Sakura!" That must be the voice of the leader, the one who always played pranks and upset everyone, he thought, running up towards his room.
