_-Kakashi-_
We were walking around the outside of the village, her pointing out the weak spots that, hopefully, only she knew about.
"Exactly how many did you find, child?" Lord Hokage asked the girl, and I realized he hadn't asked her name.
"Please, call me D.D. it's much less degrading than being called a "child" is." She responded, "and I'm not sure. Give me a second..." She thought about it for a few seconds, "We are about halfway done."
"What? But you have already showed us 6! Does my village really have a dozen weak-spots?" The Hokage exclaimed.
"Yes," She replied, then pointed to a hole in a tree, big enough for a person to fit through, but hidden by branches. "This one I actually made myself, sad that I have to reveal it now..."
"That just looks like a tree with the inside burned. How could that help someone sneak into the village?" Hyuga Hiashi asked her, he only came along because he didn't "trust the girl to be alone with the Hokage" even though I am coming with.
"Well," She responded, "That's the genius of it! I made a huge labyrinth underground, and you can only get through it if I let you. I made the whole thing chakra infused too, so even your eyes can't see the way out. And if you try to blow through the roof, kunai and shrunken will be shot from all directions. The only effective way to make the passage unusable would be to either destroy it, which would have to be done with extreme caution and with my help, which I still cannot guarantee everyone will make it out alive, or guard it. Which would be much easier than trying to destroy a labyrinth." She finished, obviously liking the second option more.
"Hmm, I agree with you there, it would take a lot of manpower and maybe even sacrifice to destroy such a maze. This could also be useful if I am allowed through, for reasons." He pauses and thinks, which seems to drive her mad. Finally, he continues, "Okay, I will not destroy this one, but it will be guarded. But that wouldn't be necessary if only you knew about this, correct?"
"I can never be 100% sure of that because it has been a long time since I used these to get into your nice village, and others could have found them if they looked hard enough."
"I see. Let's move on then, D. D." I could tell he was uncomfortable saying her "name".
"Let's," She responded, turning and continuing to walk along the border of the village.

I showed him the twelve passages I promised, then we went back to the Hokage building to set up my living arrangements. Hyuga Hiashi left as we were making our way back because he needed to "train his prodigy", whatever that means.
At the moment, the Hokage was giving me options on where I want to live (weird, I know).
"There is a small house, but it is rather close to a popular training ground, so it wouldn't be quiet most of the time." Probably the reason that it hasn't been sold. "There is also a rather large house, it has 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. It is located towards the middle of the village, closer to the market and other shops." But since it's in the middle, it would be harder to sneak out, although I like the size... "and finally, there is an apartment building that only has one current resident."
"Why only one person?"
"For reasons I cannot explain. Now, which one would you like to reside in, miss... D.D."
I don't know why, but I wanted to laugh every time I heard him say my "name". "Can I think about this while I take a walk?"
"Of course, if you want to be shown the three living spaces, Kakashi knows the addresses." The Hokage told me, motioning toward the man behind me.
"Kay, see you around pops," I remarked casually, annoying the hell out of both Hatake and the Hokage.
As I walk out the door into the hall, Hatake follows me, no doubt to keep an eye on me, not so much as to show me around. I start walking towards the center to find the big house, Hatake following me reading an orange book.
"Do you even know where you're-"
"Nope."
"Do you want me to show you?"
"If you would be so kind."
He then takes the lead with me following him while surveying my surroundings. I notice as we pass a ramen shop, "Ichiraku," I mutter, reading the sign out loud, then notice a familiar orange outfit past the curtains. I pause and notice that Naruto is eating alone, then start walking towards the quaint restaurant.
"We aren't here to get lunch." Hatake grabs the back of my kimono and lifts me into the air. I curse this body for being so short and lightweight.
"I just wanted to say 'hi'..." I muttered, trying to reach my hands up to release myself from his grip.
"Hm? And who would you like to greet? I didn't think you knew anyone from this village."
"If you look into where I was going, you might recognize the bright orange outfit."
He glances inside and releases me, causing me to almost fall, "Okay, we can take a small detour."
"Oh, my humble thanks, kind sir." I say, flamboyantly waving my hands around and bowing to the beyond annoyed Hatake Kakashi.
"Whatever, just hurry up." I smirked and turned back towards the small establishment, ignoring the looks from the people passing by. I move the curtains and sit next to Naruto, waiting for him to notice my presence. It doesn't take him long, but as soon as he does, he almost chokes on the ramen he was gulping down bowls at a time. I wait for him to calm down, and when he does he just stares at me.
"If you don't want to choke, you should probably eat a bit slower." I chastise him, Hatake walking in after just staying outside.
"Kakashi-sensei! What are you guys doing here?"
"I wanted to say hi, you seemed a little lonely, so I decided to keep you company, if only for a few minutes."
"Well, umm, okay..." He was unsure, I guess not that many people talk to him randomly like this.
"So how are you, Uzumaki?" He looked a little confused, then responded.
"O-oh I'm fine, how are you? Oh and you can just call me Naruto, okay?" he smiles-no, grins at me, making my lips tug up slightly.
"Right now I'm about to go looking for a place to live. Mr. Hokage gave me three options and I'm about to go check them out." I look over at Hatake to see him looking at me, he nods his head towards the door. "Oh, I guess I've got to go with Hatake to see my possible residences, see you 'round, Naru-kun."
"Oh, umm, see you... D. D?"
I turn back around from walking out the entrance, right hand holding the curtain back. "You can call me Akuma." (Devil in Japanese)
As in walk out, Hatake looks at me closely with his visible eye. "What?" I ask, looking back at him.
"Is that your real name?"
"What, Akuma? No, it's just what I like to be called sometimes other than D. D. And no, you can't call me that, so far, only Naruto and one other person have enough respect from me to call me Akuma." I pause and think, "But if you really want to, you can call me Akuma no Musume." I smirk from behind my mask. (Devil's Daughter)
"Not going to happen." He walks ahead of me, and I obediently follow behind.
