Disclaimer: The only Naruto part I own is the part in my dreams and imaginations. Otherwise I don't own Naruto or any of its characters. I do however own this story, Arune, Tenchi and the love between Kakashi and Arune.
General Pov:
Kakashi sat at his kitchen table looking over the receipt that Arune had just given him. To him it seemed like the girl was just trying to get him to hate her everyday of their life. She had nearly emptied out his bank account. Thankfully it was the account that he had kept only a small portion of his savings in. He was far richer than he let on but this was the account he had set up for his spending, the things in life that were known as the necessities; the occasional vacation, the Icha Icha books, rent, food. Kakashi looked down at the details of the receipts. She had ordered a cake, booked the venue, printed the invitations, scheduled salon appointments, boutique visits and fittings, catering, and dj.
"In one week she did all of that", thought Kakashi in awe. He was hoping for a simple wedding with no fuss, after all it was not his idea to be married. But he knew that it would be Arune's only wedding and that he should at least allow her this happiness. Especially since he couldn't give her the love she deserved in the relationship.
Inside the room Naruto was lying in Arune's lap and reliving the previous night's experiences.
FLASHBACK
He had gone to Hinata's room at twelve sharp to deliver her gifts. Neji was outside the door the entire time but he trusted his cousin enough to know that she wouldn't allow herself to shame the clan. Naruto woke Hinata up with a kiss on her cheek, nothing to provocative but still meaningful. He had placed her gifts strategically on the floor along with candles writing out 'Happy Birthday Hinata.' Hinata blinked her eyes to get out the sleep that was in them then threw her arms around her boyfriend in appreciation of his gesture. Never did she think she would be woken up to such a sight. Naruto chuckled a bit and then pulled her over to the gifts that were waiting for her. Each gift was special representing a milestone in Hinata's life. The two of them sat in each other's arms for a while until Naruto took his girl out to her balcony where he had set up a cake. Hinata delicately cut the cake making her wish while blowing out the candles. Naruto leaned over her mouth with a piece of cake and fed her. Hinata didn't expect him to feed her so the cake smeared all over her lips. Naruto smirked and kissed the icing off of her. Soon the couple fell asleep only to be woken by Neji well after the sun had rose.
END FLASHBACK
Naruto looked up at his sister and confided in her. "Onee san I love her beyond belief. When I woke up next to her this morning I knew that was what I wanted every morning. I've never felt so happy in my life but somehow I can't help but think this is all a dream and that I'll wake up any moment now. I know you understand my feelings right?"
"Naruto I know how you feel more than you understand. But you, you're lucky, the one you love is yours already. All you have to do is reach out your hand and ask her to be yours forever. I know that once you ask her everything will fall in its own place. Believe me when I say that I can tell you that she is probably waiting for you to tell her you love her," answered Arune.
Kakashi stood beside the door listening to the conversation between the two. He always wanted Naruto to be happy. He was the only one who didn't notice Hinata's love for him since the two of them were in the academy. The poor girl suffered so long trying to get his attention. But now Kakashi felt happiness knowing that Naruto finally got the girl he deserved. Thankfully his first and only team was having better luck in love than he ever did.
Kakashi knew he was hurting Arune, he knew that he was starting to feel for her. In fact he always knew that she was special to him since they were kids- ever since she gave him that scar on his jaw.He felt that she had somehow claimed him, marked him as her own when she left that scar on his handsome face. But there was no way Kakashi could risk losing her if he ever fell in love with her. He had lost so much in his life that losing her would not only cause him heartbreak but it would make his world tumble. Seeing the image before him of his fiancée and his team mate told him that he would not only risk his world but Naruto's world as well. She was his only connection to his family. Oddly she was now connected to Kakashi, who was always trying to be a father figure, no a brother figure, to his team. After all he was young enough to be their brother not father. Kakashi pushed his hand through his hair then pulled on a smile. He was going to play Arune's game. It was time for pay back, especially after all the money she spent, all of his money.
"Yo" he said as he poofed into the room getting Naruto to jump up from his sister's lap.
"You guys had enough brother-sister bonding time yet?" he asked receiving a nod from Naruto and a questioning look from Arune.
"Good cause Ruin you're coming with me. Naruto don't wait up for us we'll be late," said Kakashi grabbing Arune and taking her out the door.
Arune was very confused even though she followed him not questioning him once. She trusted him with her life, both literally and figuratively. If he didn't agree to marry her then her entire clan would be finished so in this term he was her savior. Kakashi stopped at the fancy men's boutique and pulled Arune in. He then started pulling random suits, tuxedos and other male clothes out from their racks and asked Arune to help him pick the best one for their wedding.
Arune snapped her head up when she heard the term 'their wedding' she knew something was up and then quickly came to the conclusion that Kakashi was playing her game. She knew that he would tease her and bug her relentlessly about the shopping spree and the huge wedding she threw on him. But having him do such a spontaneous out of character thing such as going suit shopping was not the type of revenge she imagined him taking. Her idea was something like him asking Tsunade to send her off to a mission to repay his lost dues, or cancel the wedding. After all he wasn't the social type or the shopper type. Kakashi's eyes perked up when he saw that Arune was utterly surprised at the mention of their wedding. He grabbed her hand and pulled the two of them to the fitting rooms so he could try on the suits and tuxes he picked out.
The first one he tried on was a black Armani suit with crystal cuff links and small gemmed buttons. Arune chuckled when she saw Kakashi glittering in the suit. "NEXT" she yelled. Kakashi went and changed into the second outfit a navy blue tuxedo. It was plain and from Versini. Arune thought the navy blue clashed with his hair and complexion. She was also thinking that she was going to get Kakashi to be mask less at their wedding, although she didn't know how to do that as of yet. The last suit Kakashi had was a ragged looking white suit. Kakashi didn't even bother showing Arune because he himself was embarrassed to be in such a suit.
Arune stepped out from the changing area and over to the owner of the store.
"Excuse me sir. I was wondering if you could tailor a suit for my fiancé according to my wedding dress?" she asked him. The old man said that he would be able to but that he would need at least a month in order to have it ready. Arune thanked him and pulled out a scroll hidden in her shirt. She undid the seal on the scroll revealing a piece of cloth that was from her wedding gown. She gave the old man the details of how she wanted the suit to look like and then dragged him over to Kakashi. The old man then measured up Kakashi and then told Arune that he would try to have it done as soon as possible because he thought that the two of them made such a lovely couple.
Kakashi was bitter on the walk home because he was supposed to have caused Arune some discomfort by his little shopping plan. He told her to follow him and he led her towards a small creek that was hidden from the town. As he sat by the creek he noticed that Arune was still ringless. He had agreed to marry her yet he didn't think he would have to supply a ring for her. The silly girl had spent so much money on getting a wedding ready that she didn't even buy herself an engagement ring. Well maybe that's why fate had sent him on that mission and gotten him paid with a ring?
Ah Kakashi slipped his fingers into his pocket and pulled out the ring. Without saying a word he slid it onto Arune's finger then walked away not wanting to deal with the emotions she would feel. He didn't give her the ring because he cared for her. Nope he gave her the ring because she was the only girl in his life and here he was stuck with a ring. Right?
--xxXXxx--
"I was ten at my parent's masquerade party," replied Arune to Naruto.
Naruto had invited everyone over to a party when the Kazekage, Gaara, came for over to Konoha. He decided to throw a party and invite all of rookie 9 as well as a few of Kakashi's close friends. They were now playing a game of truth and dare besides Sasuke who thought the game was childish, Shikamaru who thought the game was troublesome, and Tenten who was fast asleep on Neji's shoulder seeing as how she had been up early for their spar.
Sakura had just asked Arune when she first received a kiss and from who. Arune's answer sparked Kakashi's attention away from his book and towards her wondering who was her first kiss.
Arune had answered that she received her first kiss from a guy at a masquerade party hosted by her parents. Kakashi had also been at that party, his father dragged him there right after a hard mission.
"Oh that's so mysterious. Who was he? Did you know him or see what he looked like?" chattered Ino, Sakura and even Tenten. Arune sighed and replied.
"Yes I know who it was but the problem is that he doesn't know it was me. It was New Year's Eve and you know the tradition where you kiss the closest person to you as soon as it turns midnight. Well that's how it happened. He was the closest guy near me. He wore a grey hawk like mask and had his hair covered in a top hat. Actually the entire ensemble didn't match but it was a cute effort. As soon as the clock hit twelve he came next to me and kissed me. I knew who he was before he kissed me but he didn't know it was me, so for me it was a real kiss but for him it was different."
Kakashi's jaw hit the floor. There was a cooing surrounding Arune but Kakashi got up and left the circle for truth and dare. He remembered his kiss with Arune that morning and knew instantly that he remembered her lips from when they were kids. Yes, he was her first kiss. But that wasn't the problem. The problem was that she knew that he did it. But she didn't know he did it on purpose. He wanted to kiss her that night, before he left the next morning. He knew after he kissed her that morning he didn't want to stop, he craved her.
Inside the game continued but Arune left to find Kakashi.
"You ok?" she asked approaching him.
He didn't answer just pulled her close and kissed.
