Finders Keepers

Chapter 8

Mia pulled up the size three jeans Konan and given her to try on, along with fifty other things. The jeans fit, but they were just a little too tight. She pulled them off and slung them over the door.

"I need a size bigger, it's kind of hard to get the button closed." Mia unfolded the next pair.
"Ok, here are a few more things I found." Konan said as she dropped a pile of shirts over the door. Mia sighed, they were going to be here all day, but that was better than being by Pein all day. She tried on the next pair of dark jeans and a pink lacy top. It actually looked really good on her. Mia stepped out of the dressing room to show Konan.

"Hey, Kona-" Mia felt a hand grab her mouth tightly and a arm around her waist lifting her off the ground. Her hair fell in her face and she tried to wiggle free.

"Shhh" The person whispered in her ear as she fell asleep.

OoOoO

Mia woke up to the sound of several men talking. She opened her eyes and started to sit up. The men went silent, all looking at her through their masks.

"Um…. Hi?" Mia looked at the four anbu standing in front of her. She was in a room that looked like an office, and half laying in a chair.

"We apologize for knocking you out." One of the men said. Mia was able to recognize the men as from her own village, but was unsure of where they actually were. The door of the office opened, Tsunade walked in. The three men stood to face her.

"How did the mission go?" She asked.

"Good, We caught two of the members leaving with Mia and we were able to track them to a shopping center. We got Mia when the two had their backs turned." One of the other Anbu stated.

"I expect the full report on my desk tomorrow morning. For now, escort her home, and I will arrange shifts for guarding her house till this matter is settled." Tsunade said, walking back out.

"I'm going home?" Mia looked at the anbu, smiling.

"Yes." One of them answered coldly.

The walk to her family's house was silent. Mia was glad to be back in her own village, even though she had only been gone for a little more than a day. The time she spent on the Akatsuki base seemed like a month long. She thought about her parents and her little brother, she wondered if they missed her, or if they would still be angry with her. As they walked up the small path to the front door of her family's house her heart began to pound. One of the men knocked on the door. Her mother opened it moments later. She jumped out and wrapped her arms around Mia. Mia smiled, glad she wasn't angry at her. She hugged her mother back, seeing her father and little brother run over to the front door.

The three anbu that had walked Mia home pulled her father aside. They explained Mia's run in with the Akatsuki and that was the reason several ninja would be stationed around their house until further notice.

Mia walked into the kitchen with her mother and sat down at the table. Her father stood in the door way, she could tell he was upset.

"To start, you will not be going anywhere for three weeks. You had us worried." He started. Mia had her hands in her lap and was looking down at the table. She didn't mind being grounded, it was so much better than being stuck with Pein.

"Why don't you go to your room, we will talk about this tomorrow." He sighed.

Mia got up and silently went to her bedroom. She laid down on her bed and curled up in her blanket.

Her eyes glanced over to her phone that was still sitting on her night stand that was still plugged into the charger. When she ran away from home she didn't take her phone. She reached over and pulled the cord from it and taped the power button. Mia rolled onto her back as her phone went through its start up menu. There were over a dozen missed calls, notices that her voice mail box was full, and notices that her text message in box was full. She started to scroll through the call list. One was from her parents, the night she ran away. Another from her best friend. The rest were all from Sasuke. She figured she would call him back now and deal with all the voice mails later.

Mia rolled onto her side as the dial tone rang. Sasuke answered the phone on the first ring.

"Mia?" His voice sounded a little stressed.

"Hi…" She said back, not sure what to even say to him.

"Where the hell have you been? Are you at home?" He asked.

"Yeah I'm home." Mia said quietly.

"I'll be over in a few minutes." Sasuke said before hanging up.

Mia set the phone next to her pillow. About a year ago her parents told her that there was an arrangement for her to marry Sasuke. Even though Sasuke was the only one left in his family the arrangement was still going to be honored. She didn't mind the engagement, and it seemed that Sasuke was happy with the arrangement. Sasuke was not the type to show emotion in front of anyone, but if she was alone with him he would open up to her. She knew he would want to know exactly what had happened these past days, and she wasn't quite sure if she was going to tell him about all of it.
