Disclaimer: DO NOT OWN NARUTO. Just Arune.
Thanks to baby blues jaded for that explanation and review.
Thanks to ninbunny alchemist for the suggestion for Arune's brother's name.

General POV:
The week Kakashi was gone went by quickly for Arune. She spent the entire week getting ready for the wedding, ordering things and getting them made. She ordered a five tier chocolate, buttermilk sponge cake with strawberry and pineapple fruit fillings. The cake was to alternate between white and gray frosting with silver and gold edible glitter, while flowers, both real and iced, decorated the outer layers of the cake. This is one expensive cake but it would be worth it in the end, she thought. She planned the flower arrangements with Sakura, Hinata, and Ino at the Yamanaka Flower shop. They figured they wanted at least on vase of flowers on each table that stood up and contained three different types of flowers. Arune wanted lilies, hydrangeas, and roses with baby's breath and Chinese bellflowers alternating in the centerpiece arrangements. Her bouquet would be different though. She wanted jasmine flowers and a single blood red rose in the middle. The girls had asked her how many tables and Arune said she invited the entire shinobi force, the Hokage, her father, Tenchi and some other people who she thought were close to Kakashi. Thankfully the memorial area was large enough to seat all of those people. The wedding would be followed directly by the reception at the same place so Arune invited everyone to the wedding.
She felt bad for Kakashi since he did say he wanted a small wedding but then again he did leave her a note saying they were to be wed in two weeks. She wouldn't have minded being wed to him in two weeks but the fact that he wrote it in a note and left before she was even conscious was a blow. For the time she was unconscious he wasn't even in the hospital once to make sure she was alright. She wasn't even guessing that because she asked her nurses and Naruto who had come to see her, all of them did not mention Kakashi.
Arune ran into Naruto on her way back from the flower shop. He was running around carrying bags upon bags. Hinata ran up from behind Arune and gave Naruto a hug before asking him what all of those bags was for. Hesitantly he told her they were groceries for Arune and him, which was odd because Arune and he went grocery shopping the day before yesterday. Arune figured that something was up and decided to help Naruto by saying that she'd take the groceries home while he walked Hinata over to her place. Once Arune reached home she looked into the bags and noticed that they contained very cute items for Hinata, seventeen items to be exact, seventeen different gift-worthy items. Naruto came back to the manor after walking Hinata home and asked Arune where she put the bags.
Naruto explained that tomorrow was Hinata's birthday and that he wanted to give her a gift for every year of her life. He told her that although he didn't always acknowledge her feelings he still wanted her to know that her entire life was precious to him. For each year he bought a specific gift that meant something to her. Arune hugged her brother and started wrapping the gifts in the adorable eagle and fox wrapping paper Naruto picked up. Hinata was sure in for a surprise tomorrow; actually Naruto didn't even want to wait for day break to give Hinata her presents. While he was at the Hyuuga estate he asked Hiashi for permission to wake Hinata up at midnight, as long as Neji would watch over them. Apparently it took Naruto a very long time to convince Hiashi, who didn't like the idea of his heiress daughter dating the Kyuubi carrier. But love heals all right?
So as midnight came around Arune found herself alone in the large manor. Tenchi had gone out of town for a few days to deal with some business, Kakashi was due back tomorrow and Naruto was out celebrating his girlfriend's birthday. Arune curled up into a ball on the couch and wrapped a shawl around her while watching some t.v. There was a foreign soap opera being played. It was about a young girl who comes to term with the world after getting raped and then sold into slavery. The soap opera part was that she fell in love with her owner who just so happened to be the brother of the man that had raped her. Arune felt very depressed after watching just ten minutes of the show so she decided to read some of Kakashi's favorite books. She was by no means a pervert but just very bored. She walked over to his room and sought out his bookshelf. As she flipped through his collection she found a leather bound book that resembled a diary. In fact it was diary and it was Kakashi's diary. Arune knew she shouldn't read through it but truth was she missed Kakashi even though he was always either ignoring her or making fun of her.

I just came back from Ruin's house. I can't believe otousan makes me go there every weekend while they are in town. She's just some annoying fangirl who is constantly picking on people and harassing them. I'm happy though. Today we were just told that I am going to be a jonin and that she will be moving away permanently to a town in Wind country. Gotta go training starts in ten minutes
She flipped to the next entry.

Yesterday was my fourteenth birthday and my first one with my ANBU squad. They took me out to this new shinobi bar so we could celebrate. It turned out that the bar was more than that it was a "stress relief place" meaning they had prostitutes and other easy women. I wasn't really interested in them when we first got there. I felt like I was a little too young and that I wanted to wait for my first time until I was with someone I cared for but this morning I woke up naked and in bed with a 20 yr. I don't remember who she was or what happened because the last thing I do remember was Jushimaru giving me what he called the drink of the powerful. I need to go see Jushimaru and beat him up for giving me alcohol. Now I've lost something I can't get back.

I saw her today. Arune. She came to Sensei's burial. She sat beside her father and cried the entire time. Then after the ceremony she sat by his grave along side of me, without saying a single word. I held my hand out to her and for the rest of the night we sat there, each of us knowing that we lost something very important to us.

His funeral is tomorrow but I know that no one will come. Everyone thinks he's a traitor.

April 20
She came. She cried, she hugged me and then left.
Arune knew he had written about her since she and her father were the only people who were present at Hatake-sama's funeral. Kakashi had not written in over a year from that incident causing Arune to try to figure out why he stopped writing.

September 30
So much has changed over the last couple of years. I was sent on a mission to escort a girl back to Konoha. That girl just so happened to be Ruin. The same Ruin who I had known since I was a kid. When I first saw her I was shocked there was no way the short chubby obnoxious stuck up girl could grow p to be a tall beautiful and not so annoying woman. But today I found out that I am engaged to be married to her. I really don't know if I can handle a relationship. Not only with her just being married in general. As a shinobi I really don't have time for a family, I know my father prepared this marriage along with sensei but she's the girl I've known since childhood. She tried to explain the contract to me but I left, left her on the street to fend for her. See I'm not good with people. I went out to get drunk. Then I did the stupidest thing in my entire life. I bought a random girl home, the first day of my engagement to Arune. On top of all of that Arune saw that. I feel like a failure.
That was the last entry over two months ago. She put back the diary and lay down on Kakashi's bed. Looking over at the time she drifted off to sleep knowing that no one would be home till the morning.
xXx
Kakashi POV:
I got home early from my mission and wanted to sleep. The report can wait for later. The mission was easy. Dropping the diamond off at the mayor's wife's house was simple. Getting her off of me was the hard part. I have no idea why these old women find me interesting…aren't there old guys that are interesting? The old lady didn't even give me a payment in money; she gave me a diamond ring. What am I supposed to do with diamond ring? I might as well give it to Arune. I didn't give her an engagement ring so this'll have to do. But now it's well past midnight and I really need to get some sleep.
As I stepped into the house I realized that it was very empty. I suppose that Arune was very much alone without me in the house. I don't know why Tsunade asked us to move into such a big house. It's only the two of us not like it's an entire army. My old place was much smaller and it had enough room for the two of us.
As I placed my stuff down and walked into the kitchen to get some quick dinner I noticed that there was a lot of ramen around. So maybe Arune wasn't lonely. How could I forget she had Naruto, and Tenchi here with her. Wait don't tell me that she asked Tenchi to live with her while I was gone. If I find out that he was here, he is going to be dead. She already knows that he likes her so why would she do such a thing to me. I'll ask her in the morning. She's probably asleep right now.
I took off my shirt and left myself in my boxers. I noticed that she was sleeping in my bed. What the hell she has her own room here why was she here. O well I pushed her over on to a side and got in bed. There is no way I am sleeping somewhere else tonight.

Arune POV
I woke up this morning with the sun glaring into my eyes. I tried to pull the sheets over my head but they wouldn't budge. Then I noticed a weight on my chest. I slowly opened my eyes letting the fact that it wasn't a thing that was on my chest but rather an arm. I screamed and it felt like the whole world shake. The person placed his hand on my mouth causing me to panic even more. I looked into two separate colored eyes and realized it was Kakashi. Then I stopped panicking. Instead I pushed him over and tackled him into the bed. He scared the crap out of me. Even though he could overtake me he let me beat him up. Somehow the punching and punishing turned into a kiss. I really didn't notice how long it lasted. I wanted to savior it though seeing as it was my first kiss with Kakashi. He broke it off first as I knew he would but then I knew I had to pull myself together. I started hitting him again and then yelling at him for leaving me when I was unconscious, for dropping a sudden wedding date on me, for leaving me to get everything ready by myself.
His mask was off so I could see his expressions clearly. He was still dazed from the kiss but was paying attention. Somehow I think he enjoys torturing me. I think he forced all of this work on me purposely. But you know what I have some news for him. I pulled away from him set off to my room but not before dropping some major news on him. That the wedding wouldn't be for another three weeks because Hokage-sama said she needs all of her shinobi at the festival at the Kazekage's disposal. I left for my room entered my shower all the while constantly touching my lips. I'm not sure whether Kakashi actually put any emotion into that kiss but hell now I know why he's considered a sex god, if he kisses this good then how good must the sex be? But then again I wouldn't have anything to compare it to, I promised myself to him when I found out about sex, or rather when I fell in love with him. I still don't understand why it happened? He wasn't nice to me, he didn't care about me, and he didn't even talk to me. That kind of reminds me of how Sasuke treated Sakura as Naruto told me.
After getting dressed in a long flowing skirt with a tank top and a scarf wrapped around my ponytail, I checked into the room Naruto was staying in for the past week and found that he still wasn't home. I hope he didn't do anything reckless last night. I understand he cares for Hinata deeply but doing something irresponsible will not increase Hiashi's respect for him. He needs to tread carefully on the Hyuuga path, especially if he's dating the heiress. I found Kakashi making breakfast in the kitchen. He told me to sit down while breakfast was getting ready.
He asked me how I convinced the hokage to postpone the wedding. I told him that she didn't need convincing. Then I told him that I already started prepping for the wedding so we wouldn't need to rush things later on. He pushed a plate of egg and cheese sandwich to me along with some lemon raspberry tea. We ate breakfast discussing his mission and what I did that week. I let him know that Tenchi and Naruto stayed with me, well Naruto mostly but Tenchi for a night. Kakashi still didn't have his mask on so I could see his mouth twitch downwards; it wasn't much but still noticeable. O revenge is sweet. I heard Naruto come in so I took my scarf off and walked over to Kakashi's side of the table. I knew he would have time to get a mask so I tied my scarf around his face. He looked at me thankfully while Naruto came into the kitchen.
He grabbed something to eat, said hi to Kakashi then asked me to follow him into his room. For a boy who was out all night with his girlfriend he looked a bit confused. I told him to freshen up and that I would meet him in there momentarily. Before following Naruto into his room I decided to shock Kakashi a bit more.
I leaned over pushed up the scarf traced my finger over the scar I gave him then leaned in to give him a kiss before placing the receipt for the wedding into his fist.
'O and I forgot to mention this is the bill for the wedding. I took the luxury of taking the money from your bank account so you would have a part in the preparations.'
I left before it could sink in smirking all the way down to Naruto's room.

A/N:
I was supposed to have this chapter up on the 27 for Hinata's birthday.
The journal entries don't match with the manga/anime timeline. But for my storyline that's the timeline.
In my story remember Kakashi's father dies after he's made jonin. And Obito still dies after his father but now at the end.
Once again if there's any mistakes that I haven't already discussed tell me please!
R&R.
