Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to Naruto.

Here's chapt 6. There might be some mistakes. Help me fix them.

[EDIT :: For the Sake of the story Kakashi's dad died after he made Jonin. So around when Arune was 11. The story just works better that way. ::

General POV:

Arune looked around to make sure none of the kids were nearby or watching and continued what she was saying

"The reason you hate me is that scar I etched on your handsome face right? That's the reason you avoided me for so long after that spar. That's the reason you wear this mask. Kakashi, I'm sorry I never did mean to hit you that hard. That scar is still pretty bad isn't it? So I'm the stupid reason you keep your face hidden?" She said while tears traced her face.

Kakashi didn't know what to say. Yes he did feel anger towards her when she first attacked him that day so long ago during their training. But he didn't hate her. He was never comfortable with people knowing how he felt, or allowing people to see his face. He felt it would compromise the mystery he built up. Even his students had gone as far as to trick him into taking off his mask. But he didn't keep it on every single moment of his life. Just when he was surrounded by people he didn't want seeing his face. He was surprised that Ruin would feel guilty even after all of these years. He remembered how she was asking him to accept her in her dreams the night before and he promised himself he would give her a chance to prove to him that she wasn't the annoying, selfish little girl he knew.

"Ruin. Don't be silly. You're not that important that you would be the reason for my mask. Yea I was pissed when you scraped by face but hey it's not like you chopped off my entire jaw. No I don't hate you for that. I hated you for all the things you did. How my dad liked to spend time with you, how no matter what you did you never had to take responsibility for, I hated you for being selfish and inconsiderate of others' feelings. But now I want to start new. You're not Ruin anymore but Arune now. I want to be able to understand Arune, the new and improved version. But after we finish this mission because for now you're still my boss not friend," he told her.

She nodded, wiped her tears and then went head to look for Naruto and the gang. When she finally caught up Naruto and Sai were competing to see who could climb trees the fastest. Arune rolled her eyes and grabbed both of them before they could start. She then started lecturing them on the silliness of their actions because they might attract attention. Naruto looked at her and noticed that her eye makeup was messed up.

"Hey sis what happened? Did that idiot of a sensei say something to you again?" asked Arune's new found younger brother.

"No he decided to give me a chance to show him how much I've changed. But you know what Naruto I don't want to force him to like me. Let's just stop this mission and see how things end up when we get to Konoha," said Arune.

"But nee-san this was getting fun. Kaka sensei is such a fool. Everyone knows something that he doesn't and this might never happen again. Please let us enjoy it!" said the blonde head.

Night came quickly on that date but this time in the forest Team Kakashi found a rather large and spacious clearing. Ok so no they didn't find it. Sakura decided that she didn't want to sleep with so much testosterone and picked up some trees and created a large enough clearing for two tents. Kakashi was slightly disappointed when woke up the next morning in a single sleeping bag without Arune's head resting on him.

KAKASHI POV

Why do I keep thinking about stupid things like that? I need to stop before I cause myself some major problems. I got up and fixed my sleeping bag and went to gather my stuff and start breakfast. Suddenly I heard a frantic Arune running around searching for something.

"My necklace it's gone. I had it the other day. I've never taken it off where the hell did it go?" she screamed. She came into the boys' tent and kicked everyone awake. She made us all search for a necklace. I asked her the description and she described my mother's necklace which was still in my vest pocket. I completely forgot to ask her about the necklace yesterday. I told her that the rightful owner of that necklace has got it now and that she didn't need to have it back.

That apparently deserved me a punch in my nose.

"Kakashi we went through this when we were younger. That necklace is mine, no one else's. Even your father said so; in fact he was the one who gave it to me. Since that necklace belongs to me you should give it back before I make everyone here get it back from you," she had threatened me.

I told her no. I said don't you know that this necklace is to be given to the newest member of the Hatake clan, meaning my future wife. As far as I know I'm not marrying you. EVER!

She broke down and cried. For some reason every time I said something about not being hers she cries. What the hell this god-forsaken woman always cries. This time Naruto sent me a punch followed by a kick in the shin from Sai. Sakura stood consoling Arune all the while giving me death glares.

"You know Kakashi. We should arrive in Konoha in about a few hours. That necklace is mine, no matter what you say. Mark my words by the end of the day you yourself will put that necklace around my neck," she growled at me.

What in the world was going on? My team just turned against me for a woman they met almost one week ago. And what was up with Ruin? Yea I'm back to calling her Ruin because that's what she is. Why in the world does she want me to put this necklace around her? This necklace doesn't belong to her. Nope never did, never will.

Arune POV

That ass hole! He took my necklace. When the hell did he have time to take it back? He's been trying to get it since his father first gave it to me. He tried to take it away then but failed. But when did he take it this time? I had around my neck until…That's it! He took it when I was unconscious. He probably thought I'd never realize but who is he kidding? Of course I'd realize. That was an heirloom given to the future wife and clan member of Hatake Kakashi, meaning me. O Kakashi just you wait till we meet with the Hokage. HAH! Wait till you find out that you have no choice but to wed me. O well you were mean to me AGAIN, even after I was nice and polite to you. In about another hour we'll reach Konoha and then you'll find out the truth.

Maybe I'm being mean. Maybe he already has someone else he wants to give the necklace to. Is it mean to follow the orders of our parents? I do love him but he's going to have to do this for the sake of the arrangement. That's not fair to him if he already has someone. I guess that's what I'll do. We'll get married and then if the contract doesn't forbid it, we'll get divorced. That works right? The old lady told our fathers that we had to get married not stay married.

Thump

Crap I walked into a tree. I thanked Naruto for helping me up and then I saw the gates to Konoha. It's been forever since I've been here. Last time we came here was for Minato-sama's funeral. As we walked into the gates, Kakashi had stepped forward and was reassuming the position as leader. A couple of people were waiting for Team Kakashi to return. One of the five people was the Legendary Sannin, Jiraiya Sama.

"O Kakashi finally you got yourself a nice lady friend. Damn she's pretty," said the Legendary Sanin Jiraiya. He came over and gave me a look up and down.

"Jiraiya sama she's not my girlfriend. She's the woman we had to escort," replied Kakashi.

"Wait I know you from somewhere. You used to hang around Minato when you were younger. Yup those eyes I could never forget those eyes. O and Kakashi your right she's not your girlfriend. But she's yours," the Sannin who taught my god father told us.

"What the hell are you talking about?" said Kakashi

I asked him how he knew and he replied that his student Minato was very keen about talking about me. He also told me that he was present at the old lady's prediction.

Hah Kakashi another person who knows something that you don't.

Suddenly one of the women who came to welcome us to the gates wrapped herself around Kakashi. Anko I think her name was. Somehow Kakashi pried himself off from her and walked away. O so she likes him but he doesn't care too much for her. Okay.

Jiraiya Sama then told us that the Hokage wanted to see Kakashi and me immediately. I of course knew that it was time to let Kakashi know what was going on. The only thing bugging me was how upset he would get after finding out that there were no real ninja's or tribes after me. We'll just have to take the risk and tell him.

General POV:

As the couple walked over to the Hokage's office, many eyes followed their footsteps. Many people whispered and Arune realized that the entire town knew about the arrangement.

"Great now if this doesn't work out we'll be the laughing stock of the entire village, "she thought.

Kakashi simply buried his head in his newest Icha Icha that Jiraiya gave him at the gates. He had already read half way through the book. It seemed like that was his way of avoiding to think about Jiraiya's earlier comment about Arune being his.

Tsunade welcomed them both into the office and called for seats so the two of them could sit. As soon as the seats arrived Tsunade asked Kakashi to hand in the reports by the end of the day. Kakashi told Tsunade about the single attack on Arune by the ninjas and he told her that it was odd to only have them attack once. Kakashi then handed over the scroll that Neoma-sama had given him. Tsunade looked at it for a while but not with too much detail because lying in front of her was an exact copy of that same scroll. Tsunade then continued to talk to Kakashi.

"Kakashi as you know you are the only Hatake left, meaning you are the sole survivor of your clan. Your clan ends with you unless you produce heirs. Over the past few days you were assigned a mission to the Wind Country to retrieve Arune-san over here. In the hope that you would get to know and understand her better I had sent a false mission to you as well. The false mission was the one saying there were nomads after the youngest Neoma. Even the ninja who attacked you once were false; they were chunin from the Leaf country undercover. I understand that you will be upset on this deception but it was required as per what this scroll here depicts," she then handed one of the scrolls to Kakashi who used his speedy reading skills to analyze the scroll. Tsunade continued.

"This scroll here was made before Arune and you were born. Your parents had received some advice from a very accurate fortune teller. The old lady told them that their clans would be wiped out if the youngest of their children did not wed each other. Since then your parents arranged a marriage between the youngest of their children. Kakashi you and Arune are required to be wed not only as this scroll is saying but also because it was the wish of the Fourth Hokage. Originally Arune was not planned to be born, but when your mother died and your father did not have any more children Arune was conceived so to carry out the arrangement. For now you two will be engaged for a while until the both of you can come up with a good wedding date. It is up to you if you want a grand wedding or a simple ritual. Whatever you chose is up to you but you two must get married. We certainly don't want either clan to vanish off the face of the planet."

"Hn." Kakashi answered. It seemed that he was stunned and shocked that his parents would do something like that to him. He was upset that the Fourth, his sensei, would bind him to the girl everyone knew he disliked.

Wait o his emotion went from hatred to dislike. Wow Kakashi you're a softy.

Seeing that neither of the two wanted to comment on the arrangement Tsunade went on and told them about their current living arrangement.

"Kakashi you will move back into the Hatake Manor, leaving your current apartment. Arune will now be living with you in the manor. You two are not required to live in the same room, and it would be advised spend some time trying to accommodate each other. That's all for now. Come back and let me know when and what type of wedding you would like. You both are now dismissed."

As the two of them left, Arune walked besides Kakashi and silently said sorry.

"What are you apologizing for? It's not like your forcing me to get married to you. It's not like you knew that this would happen," Kakashi told her.

"Actually Kakashi I knew since I was ten. I told my father one day that I thought I was in love with you and he told me about the arrangement and that it was good that I felt something for you. And I'm sorry because I know you hate me. I know that this relationship is not real and just to keep our clans alive. If it were up to me I wouldn't force you to marry me. But my brother is dying; his wife and child are both really ill. I have choice but to believe what the prophecy made is true. Kakashi you're the only one who doesn't know about this arranged marriage. That's what Jiraiya was talking about before- about me being yours. He knew since Daifu told him. Even your team knows. Since the day you made me cry during that tennis game. Oh and by the way that's why that necklace is mine. Your father gave it to me in case one day I would have to prove this arrangement," she explained.

Kakashi was hurt. Everyone knew about whatever relationship he was supposed to have with her. He was furious. His chakra was exploding and nearby people were shaking and fearful of him. He was never one to lose his cool but today was an exception. The Hatake prodigy poofed himself far away from his fiancé. Arune was left on the streets of Konoha all by herself to feel her heart shatter, knowing that Kakashi's hatred towards her probably doubled by this new knowledge.

A/N:

Daifu- means godfather.

[EDIT :: For the Sake of the story Kakashi's dad died after he made Jonin. So around when Arune was 11. The story just works better that way. ::

This one was longer. And yes I'm still studing for my tests. But this scene kept buggin me in my head. I thought it was time for Kakashi to find out about the marriage. I know I cut Mission Get Kakashi to like Arune on the way to Konoha short but its not completely finished.

I wonder what Kakashi's going to do about this marriage idea. He doesn't seem to like it. O well.

Leave some so I can once again update and avoid studing.
