A blond haired girl with violet colored eyes sat next to Gaara. She wore a light blue skirt that was short in the front but long in the back. Her shirt wasn't really much of a shirt it was a tube top that had been obviously ripped and cut. Around her neck was a necklace that had a symbol on it which meant death and on her wrist was two bracelets that had the sand village's symbol on it (that i) and inside were two more symbols which meant blood and tears.

"Mia." The girl turned to have her eyes meet with Gaara's. They both stared at each other for a while, "Yes?" the girl finally said something after what had seemed like an eternity. "We need to ta…" Tj walked in with everyone behind him. The blond haired girl looked down Gaara turned and looked at Tj, he stood up and everyone else was surprised to see the blond haired girl there. "Well this is a surprise…" the girl stood up then looked around. "I see home's still a major hang out place." Karasu said as he looked around. "What are you doing here?" Gaara asked, "You know I could ask you the exact same question." Karasu said then turned and walked off.

"Hey." Ryoko said pulling at Tj's shirt, "Hold up I haven't forgotten about you." He said smiling. "Who's he?" Ryoko asked, "Don't you remember?" Tj asked, "I don't remember what I had for breakfast." Ryoko said. Sasuke smiled, "That's Gaara." Sasuke said. Ryoko thought for a second, "Coming back yet?" Tj asked, "…nope not at all." Ryoko smiled.

Minami sighed as she turned her attention to the blond haired girl, "Mia didn't expect to see you here." The blond girl turned to face Minami when she heard her name. "Yeah." Mia said, "Well since you're hear…mind if we ask you a few questions?" Minami asked. "Minami are you…"Kakashi got cut off as Minami put a hand up to stop him. "What kind of questions?" Mia asked looked at Minami, Minami only rolled her eyes towards Ryoko who was now hiding behind Naruto while Tj was trying to get to her and Sasuke and Sakura laughing. "Right…let's go in the other room then." Mia said walking down a hall Kakashi and Minami followed.

"You think you can hide behind him forever?" Tj asked reaching over Naruto's shoulder to get to Ryoko, she only ran over and hid behind Sasuke. Tj laughed, "Ok enough joking around kid you're going to get me in trouble." Tj said smiling. "That's the whole point." Ryoko said smiling as she stepped to the side and now was standing next to Sasuke. Sakura turned and looked at Sasuke who was facing Ryoko smiling.

Tj sighed just as he was about to sit down he quickly moved off to the side as a kunai knife fly by barely missing him. "See you're still upset about earlier." Tj looked and saw Shinoogie standing behind him. "Alright now you two calm down we didn't come to fight." Ryoko said. "Hey Ryoko I almost forgot." Naruto said turning to face her, "…I didn't…soon Naruto." Ryoko said. Temari looked around, "You know it's quiet in here…where's Kankuro?" Tj shrugged and looked around then turned and looked at Gaara. "I don't know who you're talking about." Gaara said as he found interesting to stare at out the window. Everyone fell quiet that's when they heard a muffled yell, Temari looked at Gaara. "Is he in the closet?" Temari asked, "Geez Temari if you care about him so much then you should watch him more often." Gaara said.

That's when they heard something hit against a wall somewhere. "Gaara." Temari said looking at him, "What?" Gaara asked, "Where is he?" Temari asked, "Does it look like I keep up with that over sized…" Gaara was cut off by Ryoko who saw a trail of sand leading to a closet and was following it. "Damn…" Gaara said.

Ryoko walked down a hall and walked inside a room she walked up to a door which had to be a closet she thought. "Hello?" Ryoko said as she put her hand on the knob, "LET ME OUT!" She opened the door and saw what she could've sworn was Gaara and closed the door. "RYOKO!" she opened the door again and saw Kankuro tied up and everything. "Wow that kid's good." Ryoko said looking at Kankuro. "Are you going to just stand there and admire how well my brother can tie someone up or are you going to get me out?" Kankuro asked. "Well with that mouth…" Ryoko started to say, "I'm not going to ask you for help nor am I going to ask that dirty little b…HEY!" Ryoko had slammed the door in his face. She turned around and saw Sasuke.
