Kisame opened a book slowly, sighing sadly as he did so, his bedside lamp casting a shadow over the page. He had only just gotten home, and his father sent him straight to his room.

Kiba and Hinata were going over to the Hyuga's place, to see if they could call her cousin and see what had happened to the lead singer. And now he was sitting on his bed, flipping through some book titled Keeper of the Night, waiting for his dear daddy to yell at him to shut off the lights and stop wasting power.

The concert had been canceled, everyone being forced out and being told they had to leave. The lead singer, Hidan, had fainted, from exhaustion or something else, and had had to be taken to the local hospital.

Another person had passed out as well, but of course, while he got help from medics, more people were worried about the young albino.

Kisame shrugged his shoulders as he scanned the book, not actually seeing the words.

Uchiha Itachi was visiting soon. His father wasn't going to let his son out of his sight until he was sure every last piece of dust had been picked up and disposed of, so it could never grace the shoes of the most famous man in software.

Cleaning city, here he came.

Hidan's head hurt.

And the light was bright, even behind his closed lids. He was surrounded by something soft, and the stench of bleach and cleaning solution leaked their way into his nose, tickling it.
He sneezed.

Hidan heard a yelp, and he frowned, eyes still shut.

"He has awoken, my youthful band mates! Let us rejoice in that!" he heard Lee crow, and he could almost see the teen pumping his fist into the air, dancing with excitement.

"Sometimes, Lee, I wonder what your IQ is. His eyes are closed, he isn't moving, and he hasn't even shifted, which is weird, because anyone who heard you talking would wake up instantly," Hidan heard TenTen sigh, from somewhere to his right.

"But I saw his eyes move under the lids!" Lee protested.

"Lee, you're not helping. He fainted, someone else blacked out, Neji has to be checking on that kid to see if he's alright, and we have to give refunds now. Plus, it's been over 48 hours and neither Hidan nor that other kid, Kakuzu or something, has shown any signs of waking up."

"But-but-but-"

"Shut up, Lee."

Hidan sighed. Well...if TenTen was worrying..she'd be even more furious when he actually did "wake up".

With another groan, he struggled up to his elbows, eyes slowly sliding open to see Lee's triumphant face and TenTen's exhausted look, which was accented by the cold hospital white, bleaching her features.

"I TOLD you, TenTen!" Lee sang, jumping up and down, his black bowl cut jumping up and down. Hidan noticed with some small amount of amusement that the kid was still wearing his band outfit, black leather jeans and vest, with a bloody red tee shirt visible under the sleeves of the cool, hard leather.

"Hidan!" TenTen squealed after a moment, jumping forward and wrapping her arms around his neck, promptly causing him to fall back on the sheets with a yelp.

"What the hell, TenTen?!" he demanded, slowly sitting back up as TenTen drew away, getting to her feet and beginning to pace around the room, her eyes suddenly growing cold.

Hidan gulped when he saw her look. TenTen never got angry..except for the one time when Hidan had put a firecracker in Neji's shampoo, causing it to splatter all over the Hyuga and getting into his abnormally large silvery eyes.

"TenTen...?"

"It's been two days, Hidan," she hissed finally, whipping around to face the window so all Hidan could see was her tensed back.

Lee looked nervous, and began edging slowly towards the door. "TenTen...I'm just going to go check on Neji..." the boy said hesitantly.

"Oh go ahead, Lee. I don't want you to see what is about to happen, anyway," TenTen replied, her voice a mere whispered.

Lee gulped and dashed out the door, Hidan wishing he could do the same. This was not going to be fun.

Sasori was very annoyed.

No, that was an understatement.

He was furious, angry, as ready to kill as a hell hound, as hungry for blood as a vampire.

Guy had forgotten one minor detail of this movie deal. One very minor detail.

This was a gay movie, being produced b two gay men, determined to prove that yes, beautiful and amazing people could be gay too.

Now, Sasori had never considered himself a gay. Maybe bi, but NEVER gay.

And now, he had to kiss a guy in front of cameras, and then that kiss would be played in theaters all over the country, the globe even.

Didn't help the red head had never kissed anyone, not even his dear old granny the old bat she was.

And his first kiss would be with a GUY. Sure, a guy who looked like a girl, but it was still a guy.

And dear, dear granny Chiyo just happened to be a complete homophobic, meaning that Sasori would have to do something drastic to prevent the elderly woman to ever see the footage.

Maybe if he shoved her off a building...

Sasori shook his head. He was sitting in his darkened bedroom on his bed, one hand curled gently around a puppet with dark red hair and pale yellow eyes.

He pursed his lips as he stared at the red wall, thinking. "I wonder though...what is this Deidara like?" he wondered aloud, dropping the puppet to the floor as he flopped back onto his pillows.

"Danna, please! Just watch one explosion, un!" a blonde begged, cradling a small clay bird in one hand, long hair flopping over one clear azure eye, the other staring imploringly at the red head.

Sasori scoffed, and shoved the blonde aside. "No brat. Now come on, we need to turn in our report."

The blonde pouted, turning out one ridiculously big lower lip, and Sasori tried hard not to blush. "Please, danna, un?" he whispered.

Sasori sighed and cupped his head in his hand. That kid was too cute... and he knew it, too.

"Fine."

Instantly, the pout turned into the hugest grin Sasori had ever seen, and then the blonde's arms were wrapped around the shocked red head. "Thank you, danna!"

Sasori shut his eyes, his head suddenly pounding. "Danna? What does that mean?" he whispered as his mind slowly grew fuzzy, and he fell asleep in the the dim room, darkness surrounding that picture of the laughing blonde.
