It wasn't a kunai that nearly hit Kakashi, it was a dart. A normal dart that you play games with. There was only one person that would do that- try to hit Kakashi with a dart and that one person was Arune. Kakashi liked to call her "Ruin" because she was the one person he hated. Well she caused his entire childhood with Arune was that of her teasing him about becoming a genius shinobi and her constantly being mean to him. As a kid she was a short fat and obnioxious person. She had a weird face her eyes were a pale brown and covered in big oval glasses. She looked like a complete nerd as a kid. She even dressed like one in oversized sweats. But the one thing that caused Kakashi to hate her was that she was constantly clinging onto him.
When Kakashi turned to see the person who threw the dart at him, he was astonished. There stood a beautiful girl with shoulder-length black hair and amazing pale brown eyes wearing a white pair of capris with a red tank top. In her hand was a dart similar to the one that Kakashi had caught. Kakashi blinked twice and couldn't believe that the girl he knew as a kid turned out to be this gorgeous.
As Arune walked up to Kakashi she smiled slowly and said "You know Kakashi you really don't have to stare. I hope right now you're kicking yourself mentally for ever calling me fat and ugly as a kid, huh?"
"Arune, you certainly have changed but I still don't think I'll like you. Seeing as how you were a pain in my ass as a kid," replied Kakashi, holding his breath.
"We'll just see about that. Now quite being so rude and introduce me to your team members." Arune walked over towards Naruto and smiled while saying "Aww you're so cute. I bet the girls back at Konoha go crazy over you."
"Uh not really. I'm kinda a clown so they all either laugh at me or are annoyed with me. But Sakura-chan here loves me," blushed Naruto. That statement earned Naruto a smack that threw him down the stairwell from Sakura. Arune laughed and turned to Kakashi who introduced his team mates formally. First Naruto the blond haired blue eyed carrier of the Kyuubi, the Kyuubi fact was withheld from Arune but she knew anyway seeing as how she knew his father. Arune's father was a friend of the Fourth Hokage, who was Naruto's father and the one that concealed the demon fox within the small boy of nearly 16. Secondly he introduced the pink haired cute but deadly strong kunoichi as Sakura. She was currently the intern of the current Hokage and the Legendary Sennin, Tsunade. Last was Sai who wore a creepy fake smile on his face. Arune thought that he might have had some odd childhood or was raised with clowns or something because of his smile but then she noticed that he had some glistening pain in his eyes. Arune understood this as a sign of being raised to not feel emotion. She introduced herself lastly.
"My name is Neoma Arune. Currently living in the hidden village of the Wind, a practicing Konoha ninja, and am the daughter of Neoma Hiroshi. There's nothing spectacular about me. I'm just plain normal. I used to play with Kakashi when we were kids until the genius left to become a chunin. My father was real good friends with his father and Naruto's father, who was my god father," said Arune. Naruto looked stunned when Arune said she was his father's god child. So that must mean they were in relation to each other. So she was his god-sister, right?
"HOW COOL IS THAT!!! YOU'RE MY GOD SISTER! You knew my dad. I wish I knew him. But one day I'm gonna be better than him, better than all the Hokages. Yea I'm gonna be the best Hokage ever! Dattebayo!!!," exclaimed Naruto while sitting down waiting for lunch to be served.
"Yes. I'm your sister. Sort of. Naruto, you really have potential to be the best. Make your father proud kay?" replied Arune.
Kakashi POV
What the hell is wrong with me! How could I forget the Ruin. I mean she practically bugged me everyday of my life when I met her. Dad really liked her. He thought we were the best of friends, just because he was friends with her dad. Man when we were kids she was so annoying always telling everyone she was the best. Bragging about her being royalty, and how everyone was always going to serve her. What the hell happened? She's being so nice to Naruto, Sakura and Sai, but she's barely acknowledgeing me. She used to think we were going to be married and that I would be her slave forever and now she hasn't said a word to me since the dart incident ten minutes ago. But why do I care? It's not like I want her attention.
If she's a ninja why can't she travel to Konoha herself? She needed my team to escort her all the way there when she's trained in shinobi tactics as well. That woman is a pain. Shikamaru is right all women are troublesome. O well at least she's gotten prettier since we were 5. Where the hell did she get that chest? And she lost like a million pounds. You can actually tell where her waist and hips separate now. I wonder how she looks naked. What the hell am I thinking??!!!! This is the girl who drove me to near insanity when we were kids. I don't want to get her naked. Right?
By the time we sat at the table, I had covered my face by my Icha Icha book. Jiraiya had released the newest book before they were sent on this mission. Yea I have already finished it three times now bt there's nothing else to do. I don't want to pay attention to her. So I'll just read.
Her father has walked in the door and I stood to greet him. Him I remember well. My father respected him for some reason and the both of them got along real well. I put my book away and ask Ruin's father why we were needed to escort her when she is obviously a ninja herself. His answer was vague but he did say that she might be targeted by rogue ninjas who wanted to kidnap her in order to obtain her wealth. She had wealth? Since when? I suddenly remembered that she had a brother; I wondered where he went and what happened to him. I decided not to ask since lunch was over.
Apparently the cook had researched our likes and dislikes. Naruto was given ramen, not just any ramen; it was the healthiest and tastiest ramen in the entire world. To have even one bowl of this ramen was a blessing, and when Naruto was given three bowls he jumped up and gave Ruin the biggest hug I've seen him give anyone. I wanted to smack him. I didn't know why but I wanted to. Ruin just smiled and looked at Naruto eat. Those two were weird. Somehow I think Ruin is going to be close to Naruto- but that's good he needs someone to be close to. Ever since Sasuke had left, Naruto was alone.
Sakura was given pasta, with herbs unknown to her. While Sai was treated to a beautiful dish that resembled art. Sai was genuinely thankful for the meal. Mine; well it was odd that the cook would know that I like plain shrimp fried rice with dumplings for lunch. It was the one thing that I ate on a regular basis, at home in the comfort of my kitchen, when I would cook.
Naruto finished first and wanted to thank the cook so Hiroshi-sama told us that Arune made the lunch herself. This was news to me. As a kid Ruin would not even step close to the kitchens or near the maids. She treated them like dirt. But now she was cooking? Maybe she has changed. Maybe she's not the same arrogant, stubborn, forceful person she was as a kid. Maybe. We'll just have to see over the next day till we reach Konoha.
General POV
As lunch finished, Hiroshi-sama called Kakashi over to the reading room and handed him a scroll. This scroll had the official Neoma seal and the official Hatake seal. It was a while since Kakashi saw the Hatake seal anywhere. The last person to use the seal was Kakashi's father. Hiroshi-sama said that the scroll was to be given to the Hokage and no one else. He told Kakashi that although it did have the Hatake seal on it he was not to look into it. It was part of the mission so Kakashi had to follow the orders.
By the end of the afternoon Arune invited team Kakashi to play with her and just to hang out. She took them to the Neoma tennis courts where everyone teamed up and played tennis. Sai sat out and kept score since he wasn't familiar with the sport. First game was girls versus boys and it ended in a tie.
Kakashi noticed that although both girls put up a good fight the boys would have won if Naruto wasn't so impatient and ran after the ball no matter what. The next game they switched team mates allowing Arune and Kakashi to be on the same team.
"Great I get stuck with Miss Stuck up," Kakashi said to Arune, who looked upset after hearing the comment.
"Damn you still hate me huh? I never understood why. And I am not stuck up. What makes you think I am?" said Arune serving the tennis ball to Naruto.
"Well for one thing you always put people down. You were constantly picking on me, your maids, your friends, everyone," said Kakashi while watching Arune lob the ball back over to Sakura.
"I'm not like that anymore. I've changed. Too bad the person I've changed for doesn't notice it," she said after scoring a point against Sakura and Naruto and now allowing Kakashi to serve.
"Wait what is that supposed to mean. You changed for someone? Your still shallow aren't you? Changing yourself so you could get someone to like you. You should have changed yourself to become a better person not to impress someone," said Kakashi after getting two points off of the opposing team.
Arune dropped her racket and ran all the way back to her room, Kakashi thought he saw tears covering her face. "Ruin never cried. She made people cry but never cried herself. Maybe I was too blunt to her. Maybe she has changed to be a better person," thought Kakashi
"What the hell did you do to my sister you bastard?" Naruto punched Kakashi then ran after Arune. Sakura went to collect the tennis equipment then went to the mansion while Kakashi pulled out his book and sat on the bench reading.
Inside her room Arune lay on her bed with her face buried in the pillows covered in tears. Naruto approached her and tried to quiet her down.
"Shh don't mind what that bastard says. I think you're a really nice person. You were polite to our entire team even me especially since you know that I am a Jinchuriki. You were even nice to creepy Sai, and well no one is nice to him because they want to be. I only know you for like what one day but I know enough to say that you are a nice person," consoled Naruto.
"I know I'm not a bad person. It's just so hard to try to get him to like me. Ever since we were kids, I'd try to get his attention, but he would always ignore me. I thought it was since I was ugly and everyone thought I was weak. He was going to become a chunin before I was even a genin. But I tried to boss people around when I was younger to try to get him to think I was strong. It didn't work it drove him away even more. I don't know what to do. I don't even look like how I did when I was a kid. I've become prettier or at least everyone tells me that. But today seeing him after nearly 20 years I thought he would at least compliment me once. Nope he went and hurt me again. I don't know how I am supposed to spend my life with him, if he won't give me one glance of affection," sobbed Arune.
"Wait huh? You want to impress Kaka-sensei? Why the hell would you want to do that? You're young, pretty, rich and most importantly a good person. Why would you want to waste your time on him? You could have any guy in the world if you wanted," said Naruto.
"Just not the one I want. The reason I'm going to Konoha is to get mar-," she was interrupted by Sakura coming in to check on her. She continued after a while making sure Kakashi was not close by.
"I am destined to get married to him. Our parents and your father made this agreement a while back. Before we were born. One day our parents went to a very skilled woman who could see the future. She told them many things and one of them being that both the clans would have no chance of surviving unless the youngest born in the families would wed. I'm the youngest born in my family and Kakashi is an only child in his family. Our parents made this deal in blood and the Hokage of Konoha, Naruto's father, was witness of this pact," explained Arune while crying silently on Naruto's shoulder.
"My brother was put in hiding to keep our clan safe but recently he's been getting sick and his wife, who is with child is getting ill as well. My father believes its up to me to fulfill this prophecy and save our clan. I wouldn't mind marrying him. I've always been in love with him but he still hates me," she continued.
"Well then it's my job as future Hokage to make sure the promises made by the past Hokage's will be kept. We'll make Kakashi like you. What's not to like about you? All he has to do is spend more time with you right?" Naruto said while flashing his signature smile and sent a letter out to Tsunade letting her know that Team Seven was going to be late in arriving back at Konoha.
Apparently Naruto had a plan.
A/N
Whenn Naruto has a plan something always goes wrong. Let's see what does Kakashi not know yet...well now Naruto, Sakura, Tsunade, Hiroshi, and Arune know something that Kakashi doesn't
I don't know why but this story makes me giddy.
Leave me some loving. I better go write my next chapter for my Bleach story...I hate typing up things I have written on paper.
O btw correct me if there's anything wrong.
