The lights in his room flickered on as he turned on the switch. He pulled off his tie and began brewing drinks for his soon-to-arrive guests.

"Why my house? I don't even have a mother to clean it!" Pein complained.

He turned on his faucet and ran a washrag under the running water. He had to clean up his bachelor pad before they arrived or he wouldn't hear the end of it. He scrubbed the table and the floor with fast and forceful strokes. As he stared proudly at his fast cleaning abilities, hurried knocks came from beyond his door.

"Hey, Pein-sensei, we brought some snacks and drinks for the night," the boys rang out, holding up bags and liters of soda.

He invited them in, but was still confused by their sudden request. "So, you wanted to stay over to talk about the Sports Festival, right?"

Itachi flopped onto couch. "Actually, we just needed some time to just be guys, so we wanted to hang out with you. Is that okay?"

Pein sighed, "Oh, so you're just using me? Fine, but this will only happen once or twice, alright?"

"Thanks, Pein-sensei!" Deidara exclaimed, taking a handful of chips.

Pein poured himself a glass of whiskey and chugged it down. "You know I'm too old for sleep-overs. What did your parents say when you told them you're spending the night with your advisor?"

"We just told them we were spending the night at one another's house. It's not that big of a deal even if they find out," Itachi replied.

The red-haired man groaned loudly and poured another drink. "Why me?"

"Pein-sensei, why do you drink?" Sasori asked.

Pein turned to the group of high school boys. "I drink because I can. Why do you all like Sakura-san?" he countered in a teasing tone.

The boys' skin flushed a bright red. "That's uncalled for, Pein-sensei," Deidara said, hanging his head.

"Well, it's true and, honestly, a bit hilarious. Why do you all like her so much anyway?" He handed them each a glass of soda.

Itachi leaned back on the couch and gazed up at his advisor. "It's not really anything you can control, sensei. She's not like all the other girls in our school."

"Yeah, and we spend almost everyday with her, so it was obvious that at least one of us would end up liking her," Hidan added.

Pein sat down beside Itachi. "So, what makes her different? Why is it just her and not any other girl?"

"There's nothing wrong with the other girls at our school, Pein-sensei. Most of them are pretty, but they don't act like Sakura-chan," Kisame answered.

"Yeah, I get that she acts different from other girls, but you all don't seem to want to answer my question on how she is different," Pein replied, agitated from the rounded-off answers he was receiving.

The boys stayed silent for a moment and thought of all the unique traits Sakura had. "She's so... humorous and good-natured," Itachi started.

Kisame agreed. "She doesn't judge a person by their appearance and acts very open and friendly."

Hidan joined in. "But she won't take shit from anyone because she isn't a doormat! And she hates it when people get hurt or bullied."

Pein smiled. "She has quite the impression on you all. I wonder what the other three have to say." He turned to Sasori, Deidara and Kakuzu.

Deidara grinned. "Sakura-chan is a beautiful angel! She's so spunky and cute, but she's even cuter when she gets mad at you! She's a walking cherry-bomb!"
