Something worth living for

Haku's POV

There were already two people in the common room when Haku entered. What were their names? The mean red-head..he was Sabaku Gaara- Desert. The wierd eyed one was Hyuuga Neji-Indigo. Right. They were both dresses. Gaara in black leather pants, that clung to his body like a second skin and a tight black shirt with several safty pins. His emerald eyes were outlined in dark black kohl. he had a black spiked collar and spiked cuffs. He looked like he was going clubbing or something...damn he was hot. But then again so was everyone else...except that grasshopper guy. Haku shuddered mentally.

Next to Gaara, Neji looked underdressed. He was wearing casual jeans and an oxford shirt with a v-necked jumper. It looked good on him though. His hair eas pulled up into a ponytail with several strands left to frame his face.

„good morning“ Haku ground out nervously.

„good morning“ Indigo replied smiling.

Desert regarded him cooly for a few moments before parting his lips slightly to say „morning“ Haku breathed a sigh of relief. The redhead noticed. He smirked. „did you think I was going to insult you? Don't worry. Yesterday i was pissed for no reason and took it out on you. It wont happen again“

Haku noticed Neji nodding aprovingly behind Gaara and stifled a smile. He somehow knew that it was the closest thing to 'im sorry' that he was going to get from Gaara. „desert?“ Haku ventured „could I borrow your eye-liner? I forgot mine at home.“ Gaara just nodded and got up. He went through the door to his and Neji's room and returned a moment later with the eye-liner. „here you go“ he said handing it to Haku. Haku thanked him and went to apply it. A few minutes later he was back with his eyes outlined thinly. He tried returning it to Gaara but Gaara waved him off saying that he had a few spare.

Haku's thanks were interupted when Neji started banging on people's doors and shouting. „breakfast is in ten people. In the common room now!.
That includes you raido!!!“ he added banging on the door furthest from Haku.
In under three minutes everyone was standing in the common-room, including a boy whom Haku hadn't seen before. „I was sleeping Neji!! Are you a sadist or something?“

Neji looked at raido with a raised eyebrow. „ you need to stop sleeping in your clothes raido. It's not healthy. And by the way breakfast is in five and school starts today.“

„what's the point? Not like I understand any of that shit anyway. Who are the new kids? Not their real names Neji. I doubt they'll be here long enough for it to matter. Just their code names.“

Neji sighed. Haku wondered if this highschool was really that tough that raido didn't think they'd last. He felt a little angry at the thought.

„the redhead is desert. The one with glasses is insect and the long-haired one is shinigami.“

„earth, anipathy and chakra. Trouble“ raido muttered.

Haku looked confused. „what's he talking about?“

„he's babbling Haku. He's still half-asleep.“

Haku had a feeling there was more to it than that but he decided to let it slide. Raido snorted.
„alright everyone. Lets go down to breakfast. Oh yeah, for those of you who don't know, at breakfast you sit with your dorm but lunch and dinner you can sit anywhere you like.“

Shino siddled up to Haku. „ I have a feeling today will be tough“ the normally silent boy said. Haku squeezed his arm sympathetically, „we'll stick together ok?“ Shino just nodded they followed everyone to breakfast.
