I was sitting in the middle of a large room in the only chair that was visible

I was sitting in the middle of a large room in the only chair that was visible. All around me were everyone from the village. I looked up to see Mother, Father, Sango, and Gigi. They were all chanting the same thing.

"You can't handle the pressure. You can't handle the responsibility."

They kept saying that over and over again. It was driving me insane. When I stood up to tell them to stop, I fell through the floor. I was screaming through the darkness, hoping something or someone would catch me. I saw my doom before I felt it. Who knew it would be a floor?

BAM!

I slammed into something hard. It felt like the floor. I must've died. Darn, and here I had been wanting to eat some more ramen.

"Shouji-chan!"

Who the heck could be calling me that?

"Shouji-chan, wake up!"

If I didn't know any better, that sounded a lot like Kakaii-san? I knew I had to get up soon, but I really didn't feel like it. I started to hear footsteps.

"Shouji-chan, it's time to get up. You have- What happened in here?"

I pulled the covers off my head to see Kakaii-san staring down at me. I really must be on the floor. "Why do you keep calling me, Shouji-chan? I'm a guy." That has got to be getting old by now. Only my family knew I was a girl and I had been saying that since I was little.

"Because you are not a guy. I was watching the area last night, making sure that no one was going to try a kidnap attempt. I was checking inside your room, you were changing." I could hear the smirk in his voice. Darn that mask!

"I have no idea what you're talking about." I couldn't get up 'til he left, or else he would see me in my nightgown.

He sighed and walked over to me and knelt down next to a corner of the covers. He snatched them away from me and waved his hand. "Behold a girl."

I screamed, ran into the bathroom, and locked the door. My life was over. No one had ever knew I was a girl besides my family. I was doomed.

Kakashi's POV

She overreacted to the whole thing. I mean, who cared if anyone knew she was a girl? No wait Kakashi, she comes from another culture. She's basically royalty.

Who was I kidding? She needed to come to terms that she was a girl. I walked calmly to the bathroom door and knocked calmly. If push came to shove, I'd have to go and get Iruka. He knew what to do in these situations.

"I am not coming out, so don't try anything." She yelled.

She was testing my nerves, which someone hardly ever did. I usually never blow my top, unless it's for fun. "Look, Shouji-chan-"

"Stop calling me Shouji-chan."

"Why?"

"Because I don't want you to. Go away Kakaii-san."

How can she call me Kakaii-san, but I can't call her Shouji-chan? "Why in the world would I do that?"

"Because."

"Because why?" Remain calm Kakashi, remain calm.

"Because I asked you to." She unlocked the door. Finally! I walked in, but something was blocking the door.

"I didn't say you could come in." Obviously, she was leaning against the door.

"Shouji-chan, please let me in." I asked her as nicely as possible, but she was irking my nerves.

"Kakashi! Where are you?" Iruka was calling me. It was time for us to pick up our squad.

"I'm consoling the little ambassador." I yelled back.

"Shoujiki? Why are you?" He jumped in through her bedroom window. I knew I hated when people do that, so I knew she had to as well.

"Because I found out something." I told her I'd keep her secret, so I wasn't gonna tell Iruka.

"You mean the fact that she's a girl?"

The door swung wide open. Shoujiki was staring at Iruka open mouthed with an angry look on her face. I took a step back. I knew firsthand what a woman could do if angered enough.

"What did you just say?" She said with a shaking voice. I knew that she was using every bit of strength in her body and mind to not kill Iruka where he was standing.

"I already knew you were a girl when I first met you. I've been teaching kids for a long time, Shoujiki, so don't think I wouldn't have noticed." He had put a hand on his waist and looked at her like she had missed the easy question in school.

She slumped down to the ground and hugged her knees to her chest. "No one ever knew before. You two are the first to ever know, besides my family. Not even my body guard knew."

Iruka and I looked at each other. I shrugged and we spoke with Ninja body language.

(A/N: Iruka Kakashi. Got it? Good.)

She has lived her whole entire life as a boy.

So? She needs to embrace her feminine side before she loses what chances she has to meet a good "king" for her village. She can't run it.

Why not?

Because she's a female. They all rule by their emotions, whether raised to be emotional or not.

Kakashi that's sexist and you know it! She could rule if she wanted to. You are not going to interfere in her life at all. If she asks for advice, give her some. If not, butt out.

Whatever.

I felt something on my shoulder. Shoujiki was tapping it. "What?"

"I can understand what you're saying. I am a chunin." She sounded frustrated and irritated, if that was possible.

"We're talking Jonin." I was getting irritated with this girl. Iruka, if you don't get this girl to stop…

Don't worry. Thankfully, he stepped in quickly. "Shoujiki, don't you think that you should get dressed?"

"No, I'm not going out today. Kakashi and you are going to go buy me clothes, because he busted me as a girl. He has to buy me more convincing boy clothes."

That's when I dropped my mouth. I was not going to go out and buy Shoujiki more clothes, let alone boy clothes. But I did promise her that I would keep her secret. Darn promises…

"Ok, I'll buy you our clothes. But you owe me big time." I turned around and started to walk when I remembered that I had no idea what color she liked, if she liked showing skin or not, if she rather tights to regular clothes, nothing. "What do you like to wear Shoujiki?"

We spent several hours going over what she wanted, what she liked, what she didn't like, and how much it was all going to cost. Luckily, for Iruka and I, she liked saving and money and she was cheap. Very cheap.

"Alright, let's get going." Iruka and I walked out the door, not knowing that someone was watching us leave. I didn't notice it then, because by then it was late in the morning and everyone was watching everyone.

Shouji: I'm so sorry that it's so short, just I really need to go to bed and I don't feel like dragging it out.
