"It doesn't matter if whether or not you're alone. You always have family. Right there when you need them. I promise. You're never alone. I'm always here for you."
I sighed as I heard the commotion while I sat at my desk, writing in my journal. I turned around as I saw the three of them. "Oi, Kiki, please put on your clothes." I requested. "Hai, Miu onee-chan." Kiki obeyed.
"Sure, you'll listen to her, but not your superior." Sasori said. "You're not the boss of me!" Kiki yelled, pointing a finger at Sasori. I noticed an irk mark on his head. I sighed, then smiled.
As promised, I went back to Shinaku Town to pick up Kiki. Oh, yeah. With Kiki's Book of Darkness and my powers, we were able to make a body for Isuke; the same body he had three years ago when Orochimaru "killed" him.
"I thought you were giving her a bath, Isuke?" I asked. "I was, Princess, but she got out of the tub and started running around the house." Isuke explained, kneeling down as he began to dry Kiki's hair. A towel was wrapped around her waist as she stayed still for Isuke.
"Tell me again why we brought back this brat with us?" Sasori asked, crossing his arms over his chest. "Because I promised Kiki that I would bring her back when I'm older." I reminded him. "Yeah, so don't get in my way, Puppet!" Kiki yelled.
"Kiki, don't call Sasori that." I said. "Hai, Miu onee-chan." Kiki replied with a smile. I smiled back before going back to my journal. I asked Lady Tsunade if Sasori could live with me since he is my cousin.
At first, she wasn't too grand about the idea. But I told her that I agreed what Sasori did was wrong, but I promised that he wouldn't do something like that again. For all that Akatsuki knows is that they think Sasori is dead.
So, she said I could have Sasori stay with me in the village, but I had to keep an close eye on him.
"What are you writing in your journal, Princess?" Isuke asked. "Just some random stuff." I said. "Random stuff! Random stuff!" Kiki chanted. "Just because you're stuck in a child's body, doesn't mean you shouldn't act a little mature." Sasori said to her.
"Can it, Puppet!" She shouted. "Kiki, what did I say?" I said. "Kiki's sorry, Miu onee-chan." Kiki apologized. I smiled and petted her head. "No harm done." I said. "Suck up." Isuke muttered. "Kiki heard that." Kiki said with a frown before hugging my waist.
"OK, you two. That's enough." I said. I closed my journal as Kiki yawned. "Kiki's sleepy." She said, sleepily. "I'll put you in your bed." I said, picking her up. I walked her down the hall and put her in one of the spare bedrooms I was having her sleep in.
I put her in the bed and pulled the blanket over her. "Enjoy your nap, Kiki." I said before kissing her head. She smiled as she drifted to sleep. "Do you really have to baby her?" Sasori asked with his arms crossed over his chest.
"Well, she is a child, Sasori." I stated. "She's an adult trapped in a child's body." He said, bluntly. "Even so, she needs someone to care for her." I said. "Isuke, I'm heading out. Watch over Kiki for me." I said.
"Hai, Princess." He replied with a bow. "You're heading out now? Where are you going?" Sasori asked. "I have an ANBU mission. I can't be late." I said as I picked up my ANBU mask.

"Sasori, please don't cause any trouble here. I want Lady Tsunade to trust you." I said.
He sighed. "If it's for you, then I'll stay out of trouble." Sasori said as he petted my head. He kissed my forehead and I headed to the door. "Miu," I stopped and turned around. "Good luck." Sasori smiled.
I smiled back and headed off.
When I got to the Hokage House, I noticed my comrades weren't there. "Lady Tsunade, where's my comrades?" I asked. "Miu, on this mission, you'll be doing this on your own." She said. "A mission on my own?" I repeated.
This is the first time I've been given a mission to do on my own. "Understood. What's the mission?" I asked. "We've located where Orochimaru's hideout is at. Your mission to find a scroll he's stolen from us." Tsunade said.
"Yes, ma'am." I replied. "Good luck, Miu." Shizune smiled. I smiled and put on my ANBU mask before heading off. I was excited about this mission and a little anxious. Excited that I'll be doing this mission on my own and anxious because I'll be seeing a familiar face.
