Yoru Okami: unseen, skilled, and alone. That's what has always been associated with my name. As a night-bound ninja, I've always loved darkness, both the kind in a forlorn room, and the darkness within our hearts. I've lived in the Hidden Leaf for most if my life. I don't really know where or who I was before. Then? Everything changed when Lady Tsunade sent me on my mission to be captured by Akatsuki. There I find myself changing. I find friends, family... even my explosion-happy boyfriend. But what happens when I find things I shouldn't? When war threatens everyone I love? Come with me! Let's find out together.

Nobody knows where I came from, yet they all know who I am. My past is but a mistery to them and my birth is only their memory. On my journey back, I made friends-as well as enemies. I have my goals as well as dreams. I came back because I had two reasons: 1. I wanted to learn more about my family and how it all began 2. There is an unknown danger that lurks near and those closest to me advised me I should run. They believe that Konohagakure is the place where I'd be safe. They're probably right-that danger stopped following me. But I was able to get tripped by my past with every step I took. I was able to stumble into a whole new world of dangers. But I must not forget-I'm on a mission. A mission I can't afford to fail.

****Winner of the Most Popular Naruto Fanfic Watty Award 2013/14**** **Currently being rewritten as the original is old and awful in this author's opinion** A coming of age story about a young Ninja, confused and hurt by the instances in her past, struggling to find her place and figure out what it all means. Can the kindness of a new Village warm a heart that time has taught to be cold and cruel? Can new friendships replace broken bonds, lost to the past? Is it safer to stay, or is it safer to run? A story not about one's physical strength, or of obtaining great power, but a story of overcoming and learning to change as old wounds heal.

My name is Rima Hatake, so I guess you can tell who my father is, the copy cat nin Kakashi. As for my mother, well that's a secret best kept hidden, for if it were to get out I would have a certain S-ranked criminal after me. Before she was murdered, my mother sent me off to Kumogakure to train with Killer Bee-sama, but that was nearly seven years ago. Now, I have been summoned back to Konoha by the Hokage to join one of the genin teams and reunite with my father, the man who chose the village over his own wife and child. Let's just say, things are about to get interesting. DISCLAIMER: I do not own Naruto, only the characters I created.
