The Akatsuki base is now disguised as a black and red house with apartments inside them. Itachi and Kisame went through the back so they won't suprise neighbours. A black cat with yellow eyes walked next to Itachi as Itachi gave the bag to Pein. The leader was pleased.
"Itachi, you are clever as always... Your mission is a success." Pein ordered both boys away. The cat, who was very interested, stayed. Jess woke up with a start.
"Who are you?" Jess asked the dark figure.
"You shall call me leader and you belong here... I'll give you your uniform and your testing if you are able to be in the Akatsuki after you take a look around." Pein pointed everywhere in the large house. Jess didn't know what this meant but decided to explore with the cat following her. Sasori, the red-headed puppet, turned to the leader.
"Ummm, Leader... are you sure that this girl is going to be here?"
"Positive... Why do you ask?" Sasori waited for Jess to not hear, then whispered in Pein's ear, "Because she's my long lost daughter...."
Jess went outside to explore the forest where it was deeply covered in mist. She then heard a motorbiking sound. It was to be like someone dressed up as a skeleton riding a motorized bicycle.
"Aaahhh, don't kill me!" Jess squealed. The fella laughed and took of it's mask. It was a girl with short brown hair and freckles.
"Sorry there. I was trying to find Banana Slugs so I can take pictures of them and send them to my brother. My name's Nicole Lovat. Everyone calls me Nybie." Nybie smiled. Jess agreed to take pictures and when she went back inside, the leader was waiting for her. The cat went into Itachi's room.
*meanwhile*
Sam was at his home near the pumpkin patch after got beaten up by ravens when he heard a doorbell ring. On his porch, was a Jack-o-Lantern. Thinking it was a trap, Sam threw the pumpkin on the wall. A voice rang out.
"Pumpkin killer!"
"Who said that?" Sam took out a fireball, "Show yourself!" The figure came out.
