To Live for

"Shukaku, you are going to the meeting whether you like it or not." Kyuubi grabbed Shukaku's tail and started to drag the giant tanuki out of his room.

"Is sensei going to be all right?" Jess asked under Taro's arm.

"Hope so..." Taro yawned. He leaned down next to the wall. Louie hung upside down from one part of the ceiling that wasn't broken.

"Another bright side to this is that Akane is grounded and she won't beat me up ever." Louie thought to himself. Then he looked at Taro, "Jess, is Taro always this tired?"

"Only when he drinks my blood." Jess replied. By now, Taro stopped growing, but fortunatly, he didn't break the ceiling. He was in a daze, as if he didn't know what he was doing. Without looking, his other hand grabbed a sake bottle and he drank it all. He smiled.

"I have a bad feeling about this..." Louie got scared then hid under the covers, "If ya need me, summon."

"...some leader you are..." Jess muttered. Taro got up, was still carrying Jess, and he teleported somewhere.

"Where are we going?" Jess asked.

"To Meru *Hiccup* sensei's place..." Altough Taro was drunk, his voice was serious....in Jess's view.

Meanwhile

"That's it! I quit this stupid mission!!! We're leaving!!!!" Deidara and Tobi teleported back to the base. Hybrid had a good laugh, then remembered to check on Akane. Akane was playing poker with Poker.

"Royal Flush..." Akane held up her cards. She looked up at Hybrid, "Hey Hybrid, how was your video game coming along? By the way, Louie and Spits are missing."

"Louie is a problem...but don't worry about Spits. Since he's one of Oogie's bugs, he has a tracking device on himself so we can find him.

With Spits

Spits got fed up with the boredom, the teasing, and his fangirls so much that his skin turned back to purple/black and his 6 arms sprouted. He grabbed a leaf headband from the teacher's desk and left the room as well. He caught up to Deiara.

"Sorry that those guys teased you back there. They're just jealous." Spits tried to comfort Deiara.

"But nothing ever good about me..."

"No, that's not true!" Spits put on his headband, "If it weren't for you, no one would understand a guy like me. You are the first human to ever reconize me. Thanks Dollface. You can do whatever you want about yourself, it's your choice. But you don't have to kill yourself just because you had nothing to live for. You will have friends that will keep you going...like me." There was silence after that.

The first thing that Deiara said was, "You said all that without spitting?" Spits chuckled to himself, but he didn't realize that his tracking device near his foot was blinking.
