"It's not that bad," Taro commented to Louie, covering Jess's body with his free hand, "Look at it this way, you have more authority, you get to do what you want, and you get to eat more, so you get to taste more of the food you find delicious."
Louie blinked for a second. "I didn't think of it that way..."
"And you can scare the tar out of your enemies when you're big," Shukaku added, trying to get his head out of the ceiling.
All went well... at least until Kyuubi came back in with some of the others.
Meanwhile
Hybrid laughed his ass off after watching that and hearing Deidara's "threat." "I have no idea where Jess is! I never did!"
Deidara growled and yelled at him. "THEN WHY DID YOU SAY YOU'D TELL US WHERE SHE WAS IF WE DID ALL THAT S*** UN!?!" Deidara ahouted.
Hybrid laughed even harder. "I have a poker-face. Adding to that... I wanted to see if you'd ACTUALLY do it!"
Meanwhile
Class went on for a while. Spits was almost bored out of hearing it, the girls weren't even paying attention and were going gaga over Spits, and Deiara was twiddling a kunai knife in her hand and focusing her attention to that. "Deiara. Deiara!" the teacher called, causing her to lose her focus on the knife and almost drop it, "Because you seem so interested in kunais, what is the correct angle at which a kunai should be thrown?"
Deiara looked at the teacher dully and grasped the kunai. "90 degrees, I'm guessing..." she said, "Anything lower and you throw to the ground and any higher could throw it above or behind you. It really depends on the situation though..."
The teacher looked at her in surprise, while the other kids death glared her. "Geez. Thinks she knows it all."
"Just because she's Sasuke's cousin doesn't make her in the same class as him."
"The only reason she knows about kunais is because she cuts with them in different angles."
She couldn't take it anymore. She scowled, threw the kunai at the blackboard and ran out of the room without another word. "Good riddens..."
"Probably going to cut herself again."
"Maybe she'll attempt suicide."
"I hope she does."

"I wonder what all the guys at home will say..." Louie muttered as he thought of everyone laughing at him. Suddenly the door opened to see Kyuubi.
"Baka, I was thinking about having a meeting-" Kyuubi said then looked at the situation. Jess waved.
"Ummmmmmmmm, this isn't what it looks like..." Jess smiled nervously. Kyuubi closed the door and left. He kept yelling, "That son of a b*tch!"
Louie pushed his food away, then thought for a moment, "You really think I'm good."
"Yeah Louie. You're fine." Jess replied as she climbed up to Taro's arms and snuggled, "Sensei, you always have to break the ceiling, don't you?"
"Stupid ceiling..." Shukaku said.
"I guess I have to put up with this forever." Louie sighed.
Meanwhile...
"But Tobi don't wanna take off mask." Tobi said.
"Don't worry, I won't look. Just do it un." Deidara closed his eyes. Tobi took off his mask and started kissing Deidara. As you will find out in shippuden, Tobi is Madara Uchiha, not Obito in case you were thinking about it. Insects, Poker, Chicago, ghosts, and anything else in the lair laughed and took pictures. Once the 30 seconds were up, Deidara was pissed.
"Now tell me where Jess is or I'll blow ya up un!" Deidara threatened.
At the academy...
Spits stopped at the school entrance and changed to his human form, except that he only had two arms and his skin was a regular color. He walked inside and sat on a chair. He adjusted his sunglasses as girls looked at him in awe.
"Wow, the new kid is cooler than Sasuke!" The girls cooed. Sasuke looked at Spits with a sneer. Spits then saw Deiara sitting at a back corner. Some boys were teasing her.
"Hey, it's the freak." The boys chanted. Deiara just looked down. Spits, getting angry, took off his sunglasses and his eyes glowed. One of the chairs moved by itself, causing the boys to fall down. Spits put back his sunglasses.
"Okay students. Let's begin!" A teacher said as he came in.
"Man... not again," Jess whined, "This always happens!"
"What do you mean by that?!" Louie asked rapidly.
"Well... Jessy has the habit of... "spoiling" as we call it," Shukaku said.
"Meaning... You'll grow the more you eat..." Taro finished.
"You're kidding me!"
"No... sorry, they weren't," Jess said nervously, "But I like when people get really tall. You look really awesome."
"You think so?" Louie asked.
"Yeah, definately," Jess said, nodding her head when a smash was heard behind her.
"Uhh... Jess? Shukaku *hic* broke through the ceiling again," Taro said when he was nearly touching the ceiling too.
Louie's eyes bugged out. "And this happens all the time?!"
"Pretty much," everyone replied.
Meanwhile...
"Okay first, put your shoes on your hands," Hybrid said.
The Akatsuki members looked at him. "...You're kidding, un..." Deidara said, annoyed.
"You want me to tell you her location?" Hybrid smirked.
They looked at each other and they groaned, putting their shoes on their hands. "Now... You, girl," Hybrid said, pointing to Deidara.
"I'm not a girl un!"
"Whatever..." Hybrid said, "Take your cloak off and put it around your waist like a skirt."
"NO WAY!"
"Senpai... for the mission," Tobi begged.
Deidara groaned and tied his cloak around his waist. "Anything else, un?!"
"Hmm..." Hybrid thought and then looked at Tobi, "kiss each other."
"WHAT?!" both spazzed.
"You heard what I said. And do it for 30 seconds," Hybrid smirked and laughed evilly. (>:D I felt like being evil to Tobi and Deidara today...)
Meanwhile...
"Deal," Deiara said, shaking hands with him like they were closing a deal.
It was cut short though, because before they could do anything, Deiara checked the time. "Oh crud!"
She dashed to her closet and got a bag. Spits looked over at her in confusion. "What's up dollface?"
"I've got to go to the academy right now for class," Deiara said, slinging the bag over her shoulder, "Sorry, we'll have to do that later."
Deiara opened her front door. "See ya later Spits!" and after that, the door closed.
Spits thought for a few minutes. Not wanting to be bored, and becoming interested, he transformed into his bat form and followed her secretly to the academy.
"I am kinda hungry too. I'll order us something." Shukaku picked up his phone.
"Does Shukaku do this all the time?" Louie whispered.
"No...but since I'm grounded, we would have to order take out." Jess explained. When the food was ready, Louie looked at it with wonder.
"Ta da! Dig in every-"
"Yahoo!" Louie cried as he swooped down to get the food.
"-one?" Jess finished.
"He'd better not drink my sake..." Shukaku said as he grabbed a sake bottle and gulped it down.
"Wow! I'd never seen this kind of food before!" Louie yelled as he grabbed a corn on the cob and ate it. He then dropped it as soon as he saw what Jess is eating, "What's that?"
Jess looked up, "It's called pizza. Have some." Jess gave Louie half her pizza. Louie tasted it.
"It's heaven's most perfect food of nature." Louie's red eyes gleamed.
"Dude, it's just pizza." Taro said as he drank more of Jess's blood. Suddenly, Louie grew a foot larger.
"What the halloween town!?" Louie backed up.
"I was afraid of this..." Shukaku sighed.
Meanwhile...
"Okay let's cut to the chase. Tobi and I are part of an evil organization called the Akatsuki. We are capturing the Legendary 9 and using their powers to take over the world un. We need Jess as a new member of our group." Deidara explained.
"Jess should be a good girl for Akatsuki!" Tobi said happily, then went back to being silent.
"Tobi stop that! Anyway, if you tell us we'll do anything or give anything you want. Just name it."
"Anything?" Hybrid said.
"Yes un..."
"Well..." Hybrid thought for a moment.
With Deiara and Spits
"Before I talk, I wanna get comfortable if you don't mind." Spits said. He transformed into his human form. He had purple skin with a black skeleton design. He wore a red baseball cap, a black shirt with purple skeleton designs, and red pants. 4 other arms popped out. Spits then took off his sunglasses to show his red eyes with black pupils.
"Ah much better. Did I scare you with my human spider form?" Spits asked. Deiara shook her head.
"Well to explain myself, my father was a spider and my mother was a bat. They both served to Oogie. Well Daddy LongLegs was killed by a venus fly trap monster while my mom went to work for a woman named Meru or someone like that. I was the only one left. Oogie raised me and before long my brothers came along. First Louie, then Chicago, then Poker," Spits said, then stopped to spit his spider web spit, "I was younger than my brothers, yet I have been there before them. They wouldn't listen to me. They thought I was mute so they thought I was crazy. Why should I talk? Chicago and Poker always fight. Louie is dense as a brick when it comes to actual teamwork. I would always run away if things get too rough for me."
"Whoa..." Deiara said.
"Yeah I said the same thing, dollface." Spits juggled some of his billard balls with his six arms.
"Can you teach me how to play billards? I'm not good at that." Deiara asked.
"Okay as long as you teach me some new drumming techniques." Spits chuckled.
