Wow, you people really don't like cliffhangers... I'll be sure not to make that mistake again, but I had to make it a cliffhanger. It was god knows how late and my mom wanted me off of the computer, then I forgot what I wanted to do with the end. Also I just spent 15 hours in a hospital, getting poked with needles! They poked me 3 frickin times! I could've gone home if I knew that was all they were going to do!

There was...!

There was an akatsuki robe laying on the stairs! Autumn panicked, did this mean what she thought it meant? Were they coming back? Autumn shook the idea out of her mind, they wouldn't come back unless she fell asleep, and as long as she stayed awake, she was okay... Right? Dismissing any bad thoughts Autumn quickly picked up the cloak and hid it in a random closet that just happened to be there.


Wednesday...

Skipping to Wednesday, Halloween was quickly approaching, and Autumn was no where near prepared for it, she still had to get a costume, find some decorations (though her house didn't really need them), and help hire a DJ.

"Fall!" Daniel yelled running up to her. School was out for the day, but she had stayed late because the student council, and the Obsessionists, had wanted to talk to her.

"What?"
"Here." Daniel handed Autumn Zack's electric guitar, Zack probably lost it in a bet, but whatever.

"What do you want me to do with this?" She asked confused.

"Play it,"

"What do you want me to play?"

"Something..." Autumn sighed, getting a straight answer out of most of the Obsessionists was almost impossible.

"What is "Something"?"

"IDK! Just play already!" Autumn did as she was told and strummed a few chords.

"Hows that?"

"Perfect!" Autumn started to get suspicious,

"What is this all about?"

"You're going to join our band, and we're going to play at the dance." Daniel answered honestly.

"Oh... WHAT!" Autumn yelled in his face,

"You heard me, welcome to the team." Autumn twitched, and walked away, if she objected Daniel would have the council vote. Knowing them they'd vote her in anyway.

"Can't we afford a DJ?"

"Yes, but the DJ can't play everything on the request list, so we're playing."

"But, why me?"

"We need another vocalist, as well as a lead guitarist, congratulations" Autumn glared at him and walked away, she couldn't believe that he had just wasted her time, when she could be trying to find a costume.

"Be here at 6 tomorrow!" Daniel yelled after her. Autumn just sighed again and continued to walk home. She was walking today because according to Sakura she couldn't use her board because she was at risk of falling off and getting injured, and that may cause the cursed seal to activate.


"How'd it go!" May asked. Autumn had just had her first rehearsal with the band, it sucked.They played perfectly, but the rest of them had issues with each other, not their instruments.

"You don't want to know." Autumn said going to her room.

"Did you finish your homework already?" May asked following her. Autumn panicked,

"What homework!"

"Oh never mind we're on different teams." Autumn smacked May over the head. Returning to what she was doing Autumn found what she was looking for, she had been looking for a website that could tell her more information about the akatsuki. Go there it's awesome!) The cloak she had found was real, it wasn't like the fake satin ones she saw on the costume sites, and she had tried to burn it, it didn't work. It was real alright.

"Where are the others?" Autumn asked.

"They're in the basement, why?"

"Never mind, May go home."

"Why?" May whined, she practically lived at Autumn's new house, it was so big and interesting.

"Just go." May sighed and left. After Autumn was sure she was gone, she went down to the basement with the cloak in her hands, it was time to tell them the truth.

"Kakashi?" she called into the darkness.

"Oh Autumn, what is it?" he said appearing out of the darkness in front of her.

"I need to talk to you all,"

"Can it wait? We're in the middle of-"

"No it can't wait, it's important!" Autumn held up the cloak. Kakashi 'Oh'ed and went to get the others.


Autumn had gotten them to assemble in the living room which previously must have been Orochimaru's meeting room, because it was big, and had plenty of chairs.

"Has Kakashi told you why I called you all here?" Autumn asked business-like.

"We're out of ramen again!" Naruto shouted, earning another slap from Sakura.

"I'll take that as a 'no'... I've called you here because of this," she held up the cloak. Sakura gasped.

"In the beginning of this Fall I was suffering from insomnia, I still am. But I fell asleep once... When I woke up the next morning I found out the akatsuki were in my home, for weeks I was forced to live with them. They trained me, and I was to be their tool. Then about a week ago they left. They just disappeared. Then I was forced to go one day with Orochimaru, who I had recently found was living in this house. Finally he disappeared, and you all came. But the last time I fell asleep, I found this cloak somewhere in the house." Autumn made a fist and tried to stop herself from punching something.

"Do you really think that they might come back?" Sakura asked.

"I'm sure of it."

"Well, you said that all of this happens when you fall asleep?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah, so?"

"Then don't go to sleep!" he said, priding himself for his genius. Autumn just rolled her eyes and went back to her room. She had the perfect idea for a costume now.


And that's the end for now. I'm just summarizing this because 1 I have no time, and two I'm in October, and it's March. I'm a little behind. Soooooo... COSTUME IDEAS ANYONE! I had an Idea when I wrote this, but I lost it. Soooo, help!
