"So... there's not one picture you can give me?"

"No" Kakuzu answered swiftly.

"Not even a mediocre description?"

"No"

Gita sighed and turned to Tobi, "WHY!" He shook him back and forth, "Tobi thinks Gita should accept the way things are and get on with his mission" He said. Gita stopped, "Why that's profoundly unlike you to state such a bold opinion...", "That's because Tobi's a good boy!", "Oh, SHUT UP!"

Turning to Kakuzu again, "Is there anyone that can tell me about my target?"

"No" Answered the stubborn member.

"No one in the entire universe?"

"No"

"Are you not gay?"

"No"

Konan laughed, striding towards them graciously, "He's not going to give you a different answer, and Tobi has used Genjutsu on him to answer every word spoken to him with a 'no', with his consent ofcourse..."
Gita deadpanned, "Since when has the Akatsuki ever cared about each others 'CONSENT?' ..."

"So Hakasame, I presume you and your mission partners are all set?" Asked Kisame. Gita looked to Tobi, "... He never really eats or sleeps anyway..."

Silence for a few seconds...

"Wait, you said partnerS, what do you mean partnerS?" Gita worried, a faint look of disappointment filled his eyes... or maybe that was just wimpy tears, you'll never know...
"I assigned a medical ninja to your team for support; the road to Triasia is dangerous..." Konan spoke. Gita sighed a breath of relief, "Just a medical ninja, so which member is I-... wait, there is only one medical ninja in the entire Akatsuki... Oh crap...


"Mi-chans going? Tobi's so excited!" He cheered, as Mystery was drawing pictures on the ground with her new senbons.

"It's going to be a long trip guys, so I'm laying down a few basic rules!" Gita said, pulling a piece of paper from his pocket. Mystery put her hand up, "What?" Gita answered. "Will there be any cookies?", "I don't know!" Mystery stood up and packed her weapons away, "I'm not going unless there's cookies!", "But that's stupid! And its Pein's orders, you have to go!", "Cookies?"

"... Fine, we'll get cookies-"
"And a puppy?"
"No! What kind of question is that?" Gita grew aggravated. "Pssh, I was just asking..." Mystery stood behind Tobi.

"Rule number 1... No Caramelldansen whilst around populated areas!"

"WHAT!" Mystery speedily leaped to him and pulled him up by his collar, "How dare you ban Caramelldansen! It's the only song I can remember!" She argued, "That's just it, people round the land of fire know you sorely based on the fact that you are obsessed with Caramelldansen, and I have no clue whether your wanted or not like I am, but being found with me and some pumpkin patch with a Sharingan wearing Akatsuki cloaks isn't the best way to return to normal life, you will be able to listen to it when we cross the border into Triasia okay?" Gita explained. "Okay!" Mystery cheered.

"... Now Mystery?"

"Hm?"

"Please put me down..."


Meanwhile, at Akatsuki headquarters...

Pein, Konan and Kisame waited awkwardly in the secondary alter; Pein peered over to Konan, who had a distressed look on her face. "Why so serious?" Pein asks.
She looked at him, with her sharp blue eyes, "This isn't going to work... I just know that it's not going to work..." She repeated, earning herself a pissed of look from Kisame. Pein began, "He is the only one capable of pulling this off, him and Yoshinori Hana have this connection-" "BUT THAT'S THE POINT!" She stood up towards the shadowy figure; Kisame readied his sword, just in case. "It's this connection that will stop him from going through with it! which means he will slow down, and palace guards will tear him to shreds!" She argued. "But you're not getting the full picture here; do you not remember why we sent the extra partner along?" Pein stated.

Konan paused and thought for a second, as Kisame bothered to ask, "Wasn't it for medical purposes? She is an outstanding Kunoichi after all..."

"Well that could be one reason, but you, Konan and I, know damn well why she's actually there..."

Konan gasped, and store a frightful look towards Pein "You didn't...?" He snickered, Kisame fretted, "I don't understand, what you mean?"

"I'm going to get her back right now, I have been your partner since we were just kids but I never thought you would take measures such as this, is Hana and Gita's connection really that important?" She continued. Pein began again, "This could be our breaking point, our one card to the power that will earn us the world..."

"I don't understand! What is it?" Kisame shouted, feeling a little left out. "Mystery is no normal Junchiriki, if she was we would have extracted the demons chakra and left her to die, but she's one those 'special cases'" Konan explained. Pein glared at her, "This is confidential information, Hoshigaki, leave at once..." He ordered.

"You really think I'm going to? After hearing all this?"
Konan continued, "The reason she has been sent was not of medical proportions, but because the demon, or should say... Queen, is capable of unlocking both Mana to Gita and Hana, this would trigger a 'no stops' reaction, that will end in Hana's death given that Mystery is there when her and Gita recognise each other, but will leave Mystery's body vulnerable to the Queen that she holds..." She ended, earning another unimpressed glare from her master.

"Who is she then? This 'Queen'?" He asked.

Konan muttered a name beneath her breath, earning a long silence between all three of them.


"Daddy, what's the matter, you don't look happy..." Gita stuttered, walking backwards towards the wall of his house.
"Why... why have you drawn this for me?" His father shouted, angrily.
"It's a picture of the lady and her wolf! I thought you would like it!"
"Son... do you have any idea who the people you're drawing are?"
"I know that girls name!"
"What girl?"

Gita turned to a page of a little girl crying, with a large dark shadow cast over her.

"Her name is ...!"

His father widened his eyes, "What was that?"

"...!"

"I can't here you... talk to me properly!"

"I said ...!"

Outside, there were sounds of breaking glasses, and slight screams, Gita's friend waited outside, with a bike, "Don't kill him..." She muttered under her quivering voice.


"Gita!" Mystery shook her friend, as he finally woke up, "Hmmmm" He wiped his eyes in a daze.
"You've been shouting and poor Tobi for the past hour to stop hitting you! He wasn't hitting you!" Mystery spazed.
"Erm... I guess I was sleep talking?"|

Slap...

"You even hit him back!"
"So he was hitting me?"
"No! Ugh, just get up, were going through Konoha-"
"WHAT!" Gita shouted, and stood up quickly.

"Mhm, I haven't been there in a while, and I want to see how Otou-san and Saru-chan are doing..." She continued, "Besides, Tobi is heading to Triasia first to examine the conditions of border security, he's going on his own and should be able to manage for himself for a few days..." She explained.

Gita deadpanned, "You do realise I'm wanted in every village in the land of fire? And since when did you begin calling the shots?"
Mystery nodded, "Yup, which is why you get a disguise!" she stated, completely ignoring the other question.
"A disguise?"

A few minutes later...

"Is it over?" He asked.
Mystery nodded, "Your name from now on will be Scar! Okay?"
"Why Scar?"

"... Uhm..." She looked at the obvious scar that she just put there and made it look realistic, plus she tied a cloth round his mouth and nose, and gave him a purple eyes contacts.

"..."

"Because it's a cool name!"
