This is a Sasumika story.

Chapter 1
Welcome Home …. Maybe.

"Come on!"

"What's the hurry?"

"It's a surprise, come on."

Running through the trees three people dashed to an opening near the bridge.

Leading the way was a girl of seventeen, who went by the name Mika Kuruteen. She wore a dark mahogany tang-top with a black long sleeved jacket that flowed in her haste. She had dark blue capris, wrapped around her thigh was a blue pouch for holding kunai and shuriken. Around her waist was a blue forehead protector that she wore as a belt. Her sandals were black in color and mix-matched the right one was short but from her ankle to her knee was fishnet wrapping; the other side was like a knee high boot. The same with her gloves, the only difference was it was opposite. The left side was short and on her wrist she wore a wristband with a red circle on it and the letter "S" stitched on. The other side was to the elbow and on that wrist was a charm bracelet her parents gave to her. Her hair was dark brown and long down her back, it hung in her face against her pale skin making her seem like a vampire. But her pale face made her bright blue eyes shine more.

Her friends Sakura Haruno, who wore a red qipao shirt with black gloves, black high-heeled boots, black shorts, short cream apron-like skirt, and lavender elbow protectors, and Naruto Uzumaki wearing an outfit retaining an orange color and a red swirl in the middle of the back, but the jacket is much more form fitting and the upper shoulders area is now black in color. A forehead protector that was a long black bandanna and he wore black sandals, followed quickly behind.

"Just up here." Mika announced.

She stopped in the opening, the others followed.

"What now?" Naruto asked.

*So impatient.*

"Just a second." Mika answered, holding a finger up.

Then from the other side come a boy with navy blue hair and a white long-sleeved shirt which was open at the torso. He wore black pants with a blue cloth hanging from halfway up his stomach to his knees. He also wore a purple rope around his waist, tied in a bow. It was Sasuke Uchiha.

"WHAT!" Sakura and Naruto shouted.

Sasuke looked up; he was smirking, which is never a good sign.

"Stay here, guys, please." Mika said walking to the boy. When she got closer to him she said, "Now will you come home. We're here. We'll protect you. They can't touch you."

Mika looked at Sasuke. She was trying to make eye contact but to no avail.

He didn't want to see the sadness in her eyes. He had already agreed to come back when he killed Orochimaru. There was not a lot holding him back. Even the fact that his brother was still alive wasn't a reason to stay alone and away from Mika.

"I'm come back, lead the way." Sasuke said.

Mika, without thinking, toke Sasuke's hand and lead him toward his former friends and teammates.

Sasuke could feel his cheeks getting hot, with the warmth of Mika's hand on his it made him nerves.

"Guys I've got great news and bad news. The great news is Sasuke is coming back home. The bad news we need to do whatever we can to keep it that way." Mika said with a serious look on her face. She refused to let Sasuke's hand go despite his protest to the closeness.

"Sasuke is ….. coming … back." Naruto and Sakura stammered together.

"Yeah, but we have a problem that me and Sasuke discussed. The Council won't like this, the only thing we have is our will and Lady Tsunade." Mika said she was doing her best to keep hold of Sasuke's hand no matter what.

"Don't worry Lady Tsunade is the best thing we can have on our side right now." Sakura said eyeing Mika and Sasuke's conjoined hands.

"Yeah, yeah. We have grandma Tsunade." Naruto yelled. "Wait, question, how do we get Sasuke into the village?"

"I've already got that down, just watch." Mika turned to Sasuke. She bit her thumb wiped the blood a cross her hand, made some hand signs slammed her hand down on the ground, and yelled "Summoning Jutsu!"

There was a cloud of smoke. When it disappeared there was a huge wolf looking animal.

"Guys you remember Tsukune." Mika said petting the giant wolf.

"Yeah." Naruto and Sakura said, which they might as well have said 'duh'.

Tsukune licked Mika twice then turned her head toward Sasuke and barked happily.

Sasuke made some hand signs, and then another cloud of smoke appeared. When it disappeared in stead of Sasuke there was a large tiger.

"And you guys remember Kilala." Mika said winking.

Naruto and Sakura got it right away. Sasuke was using a transformation jutsu to look like Mika's other summoning animal.
Also with Tsukune around no one will think that isn't Kilala.

"Wait. What about Kiba and Akamaru or Neji and Hinata." Sakura asked.

"We already thought about that. We simply avoid them." Mika said hopping on Kilala (Sasuke).

The others hopped on to Tsukune.

Mika pointed and the animals toke off to the Hidden Leaf Village.
As they approached the gates they slowed down and Mika, Naruto, and Sakura hopped off.

"Let's just walk though. Only speak when spoken to. Got it." Mika looked around the group with a serious expression on her face.
They followed Mika's lead through the gates.

Mika whispered 'straight home, now.' They went their separate ways.

Sasuke felt like a pup - kitten following his master around.

Tsukune kept barking like she wanted something.

'Wait till we get home, Tsukune.' Mika whispered to the wolf. But they weren't heading home they were headed for the Hokage's building.

'What are you doing?' Sasuke whispered he voice had a high tone to it making him sound like the real Kilala.

'We have to.' was all Mika whispered back.

They headed to the double doors of the Hokage office.
Mika pushed the doors open.

"Lady Tsunade, it's time." Mika said when she got to the Hokage's desk.

"You're not serious? Now? Where?" The Fifth Hokage said looking around hastily.

"Right here." Mika said holding her hand out toward Sasuke.

"Wow. He really came back. You're not trying to scare me."

"Would I do that to you? You have to go against The Council."

"Fine, I'll go now. Nothing to do." Lady Tsunade stood up and walked to the door.

"Wish me luck."

Four hours went by and nothing had happened other than Sasuke turning back to normal, Mika pacing the room, and Tsukune gnawing on a chunk of meat Mika gave her an hour into the wait.

Then the doors flew open. Standing at the door was Lady Tsunade and six ANBU.

"Don't worry, you two. Sasuke is fine. These ANBU are going to put Sasuke in isolation for ten days, while we figure out what to do with him. They won't hurt or kill him, Mika." Tsunade said stepping out of the way so the ANBU can get Sasuke.

"Sasuke don't say or do anything out of line. That might put you on their good side. Okay?" Mika said as the ANBU ninja approached.

Sasuke nodded.

Mika kissed his lips after they tied chains on him, and were getting ready to take him away.

She smiled 'it'll be ok' she mouthed.

Mika choked back the tears that were welling up, she was good at that.

They toke him away.
