I woke up in a strange house with a woman in the room with me. I was covered up for which I was grateful cause all I had on was my pants. "Um, where is my team miss." I was normally  confident  as a boy but now that they knew I was a girl I was very shy. I always was, but I hid behind my cynicism. "Don't worry your team is in the next room with your teacher. My name is Tsunami  and I thought you would like some clothes since the ones you were in were in tatters. And don't worry I only let the other girl in your team in here miss?" I guess she don't know  what to call me. "My real name is Naomi Megami miss. Is my team ok?" I put on the clothes she brought me and undid my  hair from its boyish look, now it was shoulder length. "I thought my old clothes would fit. Your sensei wanted to speak to you personally  so I need to tell him your awake." I instantly  paled. Oh great I can already  tell this is going to be fun.  She left the room and a few minutes  later Kakashi came in the room on crutches. "What happened  to you taidana ? Can't walk cause you overused your fancy eye trick?" He just sweat dropped  as he gave me a stern look. "I overused my sharingan. But I think it's you who has some explaining to do miss." I sighed as I  went and sat in a nearby chair. "First, my name is Naomi Megami and the reason I hid it is the same reason I hide my past. None of your business!" Kakashi  gave me a serious look. "You've been hidding your past since I found you. I've done my best to try and be here as a friend now I expect some answers. I think you know me enough to trust me." Dammit he knows he's one of the few people in the village I actually  care about. Fine! He wants answers, I'll give him answers.

Flashback

I was born to a team of petty criminals. They had cut and tricked their way to the top and were now crime lords of a small village full of bandits and cutthroat killers. My parents dealt in all sorts of vice. Prostitution, drugs and gambling. Worse yet they dealt in human trafficking. I learnt all my tricks basically  to survive. All my parents cared about were their empire. In fact, the only reason I was born was to be some young lords wife and expand their empire. I hated everything  they did and they knew it. I couldn't  stand slavery, thievery is one thing but selling people is another thing altogether. I had finally gotten skilled enough to do my first heist. A young noble in the nearby land of iron. I got to his valuables  and picked out a few petty things that he wouldn't miss and was about to leave when I saw it. A letter signed by my  parents on a table. I didn't know why but I knew I had to see it. My parents had disowned  me! They were going to sell me into slavery as a 'failed cause! I was furious so I did the one thing I knew to do. I put everything I stole back and burned the letter. I went to the nearest ninja village and gave them all the info they needed. I sat on a nearby cliff and watched as they killed  every single person in that village. And when I went to get my reward I smiled when I saw the two ninja carrying my parents bodies to be burned. I took the gold and hit the road, using what I learned as a thief to survive. I changed my name and looks to get a fresh start and that's my past every bit I it.
