You walked down the road, sometime around 11:45, on your way to meat your new team.
You sighed, recalling the memories from the past two weeks.
+~*^*~+ Flashback +~*^*~+
You were sad your parents died protecting the Kazekage, Gaara. You and your older sister were running into the house and she hid you.
"Stay down!" she ordered, tears prickling yours and her eyes.
She hid you in a closet and closed the door. You heard her leave the room, to the den. You heard muffled voices.
"Where's the other girl?" one asked, smooth and monotone.
She denied that you were here.
You were 17 and she was 19.
You had watched your parents die from not giving the people answers.
Now they were going to take your sister.
She said, "What other girl?"
Another, deeper, gruffer voice said, "your sister, who else?"
She faked again. "Fine, we'll take YOU instead," the smooth voice said.
She didn't know where the Kazekage was, and you did. You didn't know how, but you knew.
You knew he was running away, to Konohagakure.
Then you heard the earsplitting scream of your sister as the knocked her out. Then all was quiet and they left. You crept out of the room, and saw it brilliant, red, hot... fire.
They'd set fire to your home and it would spread through the village and destroy it.
You ran.
You ran and ran for miles and miles until you got to the Konohagakure gates. You had ran for days or end. At least one week.
You collapsed in a field where a team was training.
It was about 12:00, a very hot, summer's day. You saw three people. One with pineapple looking hair, another blond female, and a chubby-looking male.
You saw the pineapple headed one walk over to you before you passed out, dead on your feet. You felt some strong arms catch you but that was it until it all went black. It was a blissful black, to finally be able to rest.
+~*^*~+ End Flashback +~*^*~+
You skipped past the memory of waking in the hospital to find the present Hokage in there, once you were well (which took about three days) she put you through the Chuunin written exam and had you go through a (never-ending) chain of tasks. You passed with flying colours of course. Why? Well, your empathy power had something to do with it. Most of these were you having to fight, pin down, or escape from an opponent. Your so called 'empathy' was something you inherited from your father.
He didn't teach you much about it.
You had learned the basics by yourself.
You can A. tell peoples emotions B. hitch on peoples brain waves for a short period of time and C) if having physical contact those will all be amplified.
That's how you kind of 'cheated'.
Other than that you were pretty normal.
Long, slightly wavy, brown-almost-black hair, to the middle of your back. Strong feature. You were kind of pale. You had a pretty good size bust, not too big, or too small. You were fond of your body type, curvy and athletic. The only thing you thought stood out from the brown/black hair and pale skin was your clear, pure aquamarine eyes.
Brilliant...
shining...
sparkling, even...
outstanding eyes...
And sometimes just like a sea after a storm...
They change with your mood and what you're wearing...
These were your mother's eyes.
Your hair was swept high into a pony tail. Some long bangs falling around either side of your face. You had on a plain, black tank top and a pair of dark blue, almost black, jeans. They weren't skin tight but they weren't too baggy. The tank top was form fitting and ended one inch above the navel. You had a small, dark purple, draw string backpack that had all ninja and regular person stuff in it. You carried it wherever you went because it was convenient and not a pain to carry around.
It was around 11:45 (AM) because you had to meet your team. They only had three people. You wondered if that was the same team that had picked you up, you assumed, and taken you to the hospital.
Tsunade had given you an information packet, but alas, it had no pictures.

You thought they were the same people.
You had a strong hunch they were and your hunches were right, most of the time.
Tsunade had given you a sheet of paper, in neat penmanship. It said 'you are to spend the day getting to know one another and incorporating Hikata into your strategies. Hikata is also to work in Ino's flower shop.
Tsunade had taken you around last night as A. A late night tour; B. shopping for all your ninja gear and new cloths; and C. rented you an apartment. She said it was next to a guy named Maito, Gai.
You kept walking and then found what you were looking for: the training grounds.
And then there they were. The three of them were standing in a line, the one pineapple headed person standing, slouchy, with one hand on hip , looking bored and smoking. He had on a long sleeved shirt with his haite-ate attached to his arm, over that he had his vest. He had on a pair of almost-Capri, dull brown pants.
The kunoichi was wearing a purple halter that ended about 2 inches above her navel, a short skirt with fish net legging shorts under it. Some more of the fish net material around her knees and elbows.
Her blond hair was swept high in a pony tail and flipped out a little; she had a thick section of bangs covering her right, blue eye. But her blue eyes were nothing compared to yours.
The other dude, the one who was chubbier than the others (Especially the kunoichi), was looking content, munching on some chips. He had on a red long sleeved, plated around the elbows and shoulders, and a chest plate, armor, and some matching pants. He had his haite-ate around his head, all his porcupine hair sticking out of it like a... well... porcupine!
You assumed the pineapple head was Nara, Shikamaru and the girl was Yamanaka, Ino. So that'd mean that the other person was Akamichi, Chouji. Man, what a weird looking group. Now, you could only add to the weirdness.
You handed him the note from Tsunade-Sama. He scanned over it then handed it to Ino and she nodded.
"Welcome to team ten," the pineapple head stuck his hand out at you, "I'm Nara, Shikamaru and this is Akamichi, Chouji, and Yamanaka, Ino. As you should all ready know, I am the leader of this group?"
You were very weary to shake his hand but you did so and you felt... nothing... emptiness...sorrow... and loss.
The others seemed content.
Ino was squealing and adoring your hair on the inside, and Chouji was focused on his chips.
Nothing unusual about them, just the Nara. You couldn't help but ponder if he had a girlfriend because he was really cute. You liked him a lot all ready and you'd help him through whatever problems he had. Besides, blessed are the healers, right?
Wrong...
