So I had been working on this for the past few days and I finally finished it after 7 pages on word. I wanted it to be longer, but then it would have been a bit ridiculous, haha. Anyways, enjoy the new chapter.

I do not own Naruto unfortunately.

I was freaking bored. I was feeling like I was trapped in my house since I came home after getting my dragon tattoo which was about a freaking week ago. I currently had Avenged Sevenfold's 'White Album' blasting in the living room much to the annoyance of the other Akatsuki members. It didn't help that I was currently only in a towel. Why wasn't I in actual clothes? I had already changed in front of them before so I currently did not care. I was laying on my stomach on the couch while ignoring the stares I was getting from the others in the room. "Is it necessary to lay naked on the couch?" Sasori's scowling voice rang from somewhere in the living room; I wasn't paying attention.

"Due to having big boobs I don't like wearing shirts because I feel like I'm being constricted. I don't have pants on or anything else because I don't like clothes. Need I explain more?" I asked not tearing my eyes from the screen.

I could feel the puppet master's eyes glaring at the back of my head. I was fixing to say a smart ass remark when my phone began to ring. With little effort I answered my phone after turning down my stereo with my remote seeing it was an unknown number. "Hello? This is Temperance," I said with mild interest.

"Hi, this is Helen; we met a week ago and you said to give you a call," a shy voice said on the other line.

"Oh, hi. Yeah, um, you still wanting to inspect the...kittens..?" I asked slightly nervously.

I wish I didn't ask that because I felt all the Akatsuki's eyes lock on me. "What?" I mouthed at them.

"Actually, yes; when would be the best time I come over?" Helen questioned.

I paused as I looked at Pein; he was already livid and I needed to talk to the entire Akatsuki about this. "Can I talk to my crew and call you back? I need to see when would be the best time," I explained hoping to get out of the hot water I was getting myself into.

"Yeah, that's fine; talk to you in a bit," my new acquaintance said before the line ended.

Pein stood right by my head and looked down at me with a scowl, "Who was wanting to inspect us kittens?"

"It was that one girl who had the feathers all in her hair, Helen Fletcher. She wanted to spend more time with you guys when you were cats; I had agreed to it before knowing that you were anime characters that randomly popped out of a cartoon like fucking dandelions," I explained standing up and heading to my room to put dreaded clothes on.

I heard footsteps descending the stairs before Cynthia was leaning against my door frame. "What did Zara say about pissing Pein off?" my lesbian friend questioned.

I rolled my eyes as I began going through my clothing drawers, "Yeah yeah, I know; my apologies. Would it be okay, Pein, if she came over? I did promise her that she can see you guys and I hate breaking promises."

"I'd rather we remain anonymous for as long as possible while we are in this world," the Akatsuki leader stated.

"Remember our agreement? I can have friends come over," I remarked going into the living room in only sports bra and my short shorts; I was pretty confident in my body.

Pein averted his eyes away from my direction, "She's an acquaintance not a friend, and is it necessary to wear such little clothing?"

"It's hot outside and I'm in my house; clothes aren't very necessary. Anyways, I think it'll be fine because she's the quiet type and I don't think she'll randomly tell people that you guys are staying at a nice house out in the middle of nowhere in a small town," I waved him off as I walked straight to the kitchen and picked my phone back up.

I heard a chuckle and looked over to see Kisame grinning at me from the armchair, "You were going to have her come over regardless of what Leader-sama said, weren't you?"

"Yeah, sounds about right," I nodded while pulling out some Nutella and a spoon to eat it with; God bless Nutella.

Pein gave me a slight glare before heading upstairs more than likely to his room. I let out a sigh before going back to the living room and plopping on the couch with the phone to my ear. The tension in the room was high, but thankfully it wasn't as bad as the first blow out Pein and I got into. After five rings, the phone on the other end was finally picked up. "This is Helen," a quiet voice answered.

"Hi, it's me again; um, you can go ahead and come over. You know where Healy, Kansas is?" I asked leaning into the couch in a lazy fashion.

"Yeah, I know where that's at," Helen replied with a hint of enthusiasm.

I smirked a bit as I began unscrewing my Nutella lid, "Cool; give me a call when you decide to come up and when you reach Healy and I'll direct ya here."

"Um, can I head up today actually?" the little shy brunette asked. "My uncle is actually wanting me to spend more time with other people and make more friends."

I blinked before the question actually clicked, "I can make it work, but it may be a tight squeezes with my crew staying here and all."

"That's fine; I guess I'll call you when I get in town."

"Alright chickie, see ya then. Bye," I said before hanging up.

I was about to stick a spoonful on Nutella into my mouth when I noticed seven pairs of eyes locked onto me. "What?" I asked not thinking much of it.

"What will be a tight squeeze?" Sasori questioned while leaning against the doorway.

"She's staying here, isn't she?" Cynthia asked.

"Correct. Cynthia, you'll end up sharing a room with me, and for goodness sake I don't care if you hug me in your sleep, but please refrain from groping me in any way," I said before putting the spoon in my mouth.

A pout made its way to her features, "Aw, but Val, it's no fun otherwise..."

"...Take that back, Itachi, Kisame you guys are more mature; you're staying with me in my room on air mattress while Helen gets your current room," I justified.

"Why do they get to share a room with you?" my lesbian friend whined.

I got another spoonful of Nutella not paying much attention to the suspicious looks of the two mentioned Akatsuki members. "Well you see my friends, I would suggest any of the others, but alloy me to enlighten you as to why I am choosing these two in particular. If I were to go with Hidan and Kakuzu, I would be dealing with a pervert who needs supervision from his superior," I explained before putting the delicious spoonful in my mouth.

"Oi, fuck you, Temperance!" I heard Hidan protest.

"Now, the two artists, if they were to be in my room, I'd have to deal with a puppet who never sleeps and would be watching both me and his pyromaniac partner who snores rather loudly, almost as bad as the zealot. Again, not my preference," I continued while ignoring the immortal's protest and the bomber's glare. "Furthermore, I can't allow her to have the living room where Tobi and Zetsu are due to privacy that most girls need. Cynthia may be very open and blunt, however she is only comfortable in her own bed or sharing with me or other girls she actually knows. The twins only are comfortably with each other in the same room, and the same goes for Mathew and Seth since they're best friends. Which brings me to Itachi and Kisame; they are both mature, can keep their hands to themselves, and aren't loud."

"She does have a point," Seth stated yawning while walking down the stairs with Mathew in tow.

"And I don't want Cynthia making a move on me like she's done so many times after I break up with someone," I teased putting the lid back on the Nutella jar and getting back up.

Said blackette crossed her arms stubbornly, "I can't help it; hormones do what they be wanting to do, ya know?"

"That's always your excuse," Seth scowled.

"And I'll always use it cause it tends to work," she retorted.

Mathew rolled his green eyes, "One day that will get you into trouble rather than out of it."

The twenty-five year old waved the Hispanic off like it was no big deal, "I'll worry about that if it actually happens."

"Which it more than likely will," the twins' voices rang simultaneously.

"There you two are, where have you been?" I questioned standing up and looking at them as they leaned against the upstairs railing and grinned down at us. "You guys better not have done anything ridiculous."

"Oh no, not at all," Corey remarked.

"We were just cleaning up the bathrooms; quite filthy they were," James added.

I blinked before looking at Seth, "Go check the upstairs bathrooms; if you find anything out of the ordinary please beat them up for me."

Kakuzu looked at me as Seth made his way upstairs. "Is it abnormal for them to help clean the house?" said miser asked.

"Actually, yes it is; they only clean if they prank in the process normally. Nine times out of ten something is left behind to freak someone out or cause some major questioning," I answered looking up at the twins. "You two better run if he finds something."

"That's highly unlikely," James said.

Corey fake-gasped and put a hand on his chest, "You don't trust your favorite twins?"

"You're the only twins I know," I deadpanned.

"Is it normally like this here at your house?" Kisame chuckled.

Mathew shook his head, "No, this would be them behaving themselves."

"Temp, have you caught up on reading Naruto so you know more about the Akatsuki?" Cynthia asked taking my spot on the couch.

I got nervous as the organization's eyes all fell on me again. "Uh, well I finished with the original and started the Shippuden just yesterday; honestly it's a rather iffy story-line. It's very hard for me to get into it," I responded recalling Sasori and Sakura's fight.

"Why are you having her read about us?" Itachi questioned.

The blackette shrugged as if it wasn't a big deal, "You see, dearest Itachi, I thought it would be best for her to know about who she is housing and actually know more about the world you guys come from. This way she has a better understanding of how you guys came to be and maybe she won't be such a bitch towards your organization."

I sent her a glare, "Oi, you would be bitchy also if expenses suddenly sky-rocketed. Don't get all pissy because I never was introduced to your anime."

The lesbian deadpanned, "This is why you need to relax; right now you're really anal about everything."

A long sigh escaped my mouth, "You know I have a hard time relaxing; I'd rather not sit still."

"That's going to change," Mathew grinned. "Now that you have time off you actually have to take things a little bit easy."

I hit my head on the nearest wall at this new information, "That's just torture..."

"SON OF A BITCH!" Seth's voice rang from the upstairs bathroom connecting to Pain, Konan, Hidan, and Kakuzu's shared room.

My head snapped back up to see the twins darting out of said room and down the stairs while laughing their heads off. "We told you to watch your step!" Corey laughed.

My left eye twitched as they made it to the bottom and began running for the kitchen. I grabbed hold of James' shirt as he tried to run past me. "What did you two do?" I growled.

"You see, dearest Val, the floors needed a bit of a mop, so we mopped it with some of that car wax to make sure the floor was nice and slippery," the twin in my grasp grinned madly.

"You did what?!" I shouted. I punched him before pulling him in my face, "You and your brother go back upstairs, apologize to Seth, and re-clean the bathroom properly. If you put another prank in its place after cleaning it up so help me I will tie you both up outside in the backyard for two days with nothing but underwear on. Understand?"

James' smile was gone and was replaced with an unsatisfied frown as he rubbed his punched cheek, "Yes ma'am. Geez, you didn't need to punch me."

"Yeah, yeah, just get going," I said pushing him into his twin. "Both of you clean up your mess. Now."

With a nod each, the pair ran back upstairs just as Seth made his way down nursing his hindquarters. "Remind me again as to why we put up with them?" he grumbled sitting on the couch.

"We put up with them because deep down they are actually pretty helpful to our research," I sighed sitting next to Seth. "You alright?"

He nodded, "Yeah, busted my ass pretty hard though."

"I can imagine if you slipped on car wax," I remarked.

"You always have to punch them to get them to fucking listen?" Hidan questioned going to the kitchen.

I thought for a moment before answering, "Sometimes, but it really just depends on how bad the prank is. If it has the potential to cause serious harm, then yes I do."

"How often would that be, un?" Deidara asked going to my movie shelf.

"At least twice a week when we aren't on the rod or working on research. During the winter months is when they're at their worst for some reason," I replied taking a seat on the floor in front of Seth.

"Anyways, this Helen is on her way?" Mathew asked.

"Yeah, said she'd call once she's in Healy," I stated with a small yawn.

Cynthia raised an eyebrow, "Didn't feel like giving directions?"

I shook my head, "Not that, but I didn't know where she actually lives my friend."

"This is true," the blackette nodded.

"Can I put this in, un?" Deidara asked holding up one of my favorite films: Tremors.

"Do it!" my other blonde friend said with a huge grin.

I laughed a bit while shaking my head, "Go for it, Deidara."

Due to me and my crew not wanting to babysit the Akatsuki, we had taught them how to work the stereo, television, DVD player, and to hook up and operate my video game systems. I had taught Itachi, Pein, Konan, and Kisame. Why didn't I bother teaching Sasori or Kakuzu? Well Kakuzu can get very temperamental from what I've seen and if he were to get pissed while working any of the appliances and could end in disaster. Sasori is a puppet laced in poison; enough said for him. So while Deidara put on the DVD, I got up and headed to the kitchen to make a huge bowl of delicious popcorn. Thirty minutes into the movie and my phone started ringing. I used the remote to pause the movie and after shushing the protesting boys I answered the phone. "Yellow?" I asked in my normal, fun manner.

I heard a light laugh on the other end before Helen's voice rang through the phone, "Hi, Temperance; we just arrived in Healy."

"Ah, well my house is in the cul-de-sac right across the street of the court house," I instructed after throwing a shirt on and rushing out my front door. "My house is the white, two story Victorian Styled home closest to the main road. You'll see me standing outside."

"On the main road?" she questioned.

"Yes," I confirmed. "Trust me the house is hard to miss."

It was quiet on the other end for a little bit before Helen was back on the other end, "I see it and you." Then she hung up and I followed suit.

I didn't see who was driving her, but I had assumed it was her uncle; the man driving pulled into my driveway before Helen stepped out. She was wearing a similar outfit from when I had first met her: tank-top, shorts, and cowboy boots; the only difference was the color of the tank. It was a very light blue that made her eyes stand out a bit more. I smiled at her since she had feathers all in her hair again. "Hello, Helen; good to see you again," I greeted.

Said brunette hauled her suitcase up the stairs as her uncle drove off. "It's good to see you, too. Thank you for letting me stay for a bit," the sweet girl said getting on the porch.

"Oh no problem; listen, I hope that you don't mind other guys staying here..." I said scratching my head.

"Actually, my uncle wants me to hang out with more boys," she laughed nervously.

I nodded and grabbed the door handle, "I don't know how much you like anime, but don't freak out, okay?"

Confused, Helen nodded before I turned the handle and allowed her to enter the home where she was greeted by the majority of the Akatsuki lounging in the living room while Pein and Konan had just reached the bottom of the stairs. The newest person in the household's eyes darted around the room in a frenzy as if she knew exactly who the people were. "W-Where are the cats..?" she asked rather quietly.

"Well, they were my kittens, then they got struck by lightning and now they're characters from the Akatsuki," I answered. "Welcome to our home."

Q: If you could have a superpower, what would it be and why?

Okay, normally I don't complain, but there is a guest who posted a very rude comment in my reviews. This is what it said word for word: 'Titan was not the former god of mount olympus..."titans" were the former gods before the olympians, kronos was the ruler before zeus get your shit right bad story horrible plot is terrible I wish I could delete this piece of smelly c***f***s*** story its so bad I can't stop laughing f*** kill urself fegat'.

Firstly, I am well aware that Kronos was the ruler of Olympus; I had intentionally made Temperance say that because when you are out of High School you don't think about any of that. Working full time you don't always remember what you learn, that included and it made her a real character. She knows Spanish because her friend Mathew speaks it fluently. I only brought that up because you don't need to question that as well. Secondly, it isn't easy coming up with a plot and it's actually better than most of the other Akatsuki feline stories because most actually don't have a plot so get over it, and if it is such a bad story, why bother reading the second chapter? That's very hypocritical. Third, it pisses me off that you even posted for someone to kill themselves. What if you actually did post that on a different fan fiction and the reader was actually suicidal and they actually did commit suicide? You would have been considered to be aiding in suicide if police actually did a full on investigation. Are you really that stupid and immature? Get a life other than criticizing the imagination and creativity of others. I had deleted this review because it wasn't even a review, it was pure stupidity that was posted. Feel free to comment again and also take a grammar course; Faggot is the proper spelling and it's yourself not urself. Don't like me being smart back to you, get the hell over it. You're lucky that I'm a very confident person and not suicidal, dumb ass.

Anyways, excuse this rant, it's just frustrating. Please review and Don't Leave Retarded Hate Mail Like The Guest Above. It's unnecessary and ridiculous Feel free to leave tips that will make the story better, but telling people to kill themselves is rude. Period. Thank you for not giving up on me readers :)
