I don't own Naruto.
Italics are thoughts.
"Yasou where are we going? I mean this place is so far from the bar," said Arune.
"Don't worry it's not that much farther. It's a really small restaurant that I own," he replied.
"You cheapo. You're taking me out to eat at your restaurant. You're such a bad date," said Arune.
She looked at Yasuo's face and realized that maybe calling this a date was a bit much.
"Sorry I shouldn't have assumed that this was a date," she told him.
"Nah, that's not the problem. I mean I don't have a problem going on a date with a pretty young lady as you. The thing is I kind of forgot whether the restaurant is to the left or to the right," he said scratching his head in thought.
"What? You forgot whether it's to the left or to the right. I thought you said this was your place. Well it's ok. We might as well go back to the bar. I'm not that hungry anyway," she said.
"You sure? I mean I could just call the restaurant and ask them how to get there from here. You said you haven't eaten in four days," replied Yasuo.
Arune was debating on telling him that she exaggerated not eating for that long but as soon as she opened her mouth her stomach growled.
Giving a sweet smile, Yasuo grabbed Arune's hand once again and led her away from the fork that led to the restaurant.
Arune furrowed her eyebrows and followed him anyway. Yasou sensed her confusion and told her, "I figured that it would take forever to get to the restaurant. How about I take you to my place and I'll cook for you."
Arune was surprised but she still followed. She needed to get her mission done and getting to his place would help quicken the pace.
As they reached the apartment Naruto and Kakashi were setting up a lookout from across the street from Yasuo's. There was no way they would let her go into a guy's house without supervision. It wasn't that they didn't trust her but it was the fact that he was an S-ranked money launder who had a history of dealing with other dangerous criminals that bugged them. After all she hadn't been on field for a long time.
Yasuo's apartment consisted of a small living room that was connected to the kitchen; to the right was the only bedroom in the house, which was fairly small. The bedroom had a king sized bed, a large closet, a bookshelf, a large iron wrought mirror placed on the chest and drawers. From the bedroom was the entrance to the only bathroom in the apartment. Yasou ushered Arune into the bathroom to remove all the makeup she had worn for the bar and went to start dinner for them.
Inside the bathroom Arune contacted Naruto letting them know that she was safe and would try not to come home without getting the proper information out of Yasou. As she walked out of the bathroom she realized that Yasuo's bedroom was well kept. She decided to peak into some of his stuff to try and get some information out of him.
She could hear him in the kitchen still so she decided to take her chances.
She pulled out his drawers. The first one kept his necessities, wallet, keys, watch, phone and lotion. The second drawer was his underwear drawer. From experience Arune knew that people kept private things in their underwear drawer, so reaching for her gloves she then placed them on and rummaged through his drawer. Among the boxers and other items she found a file containing scrolls that looked important to her mission. She knew that if she took them now Yasou would know so instead she placed a summoning jutsu on them so she could take them later. She continued on to the other drawers but then heard footsteps coming toward her. She shut the drawers, made sure that everything was the way it was supposed to be and rushed back into the bathroom.
Calm down, Arune. He couldn't have noticed that you were going through his drawers.
She walked out the bathroom, making sure she was calm and proceeded to pull her hair into a high messy bun while trying to act as if this was the first time she came out of the bathroom.
"Arune, glad to see you finally come out of the bathroom. I thought you got lost or something," Yasou teased her.
"Ha-ha very funny. It's just that I don't like wearing makeup much. I only put it on if I'm going out or something. Tonight I was just planning on heading out to the club and dancing. I'm kind of glad I ran into you," she uttered while wrapping her arm around his and heading back to the kitchen.
Yasou was not like what Arune had expected. He was sweet, caring and easy to have a conversation with. This sparked her interest seeing as he was a S-ranked man who had been rumored to have killed many innocent shopkeepers and had been involved with Akatsuki's financial support. But as Yasou fed her the dinner he prepped she couldn't help but feel like he was just a scapegoat for the work of his father. She needed information and she needed it fast. So just like any woman would do she invoked harmless conversation with the man asking him details about his life.
"So Yasou, you have a very nice place here. I bet it costs a heck of a lot. I mean you have all of the luxuries of a fine hotel in your one apartment. What do you do with all of this tech stuff and where did you get all of this money?" There that was casual yet I slipped in the money talk. Arune asked while stuffing her mouth with the cheese and chicken wrap that was the first course.
"Thanks but it's not that cool. My dad paid for this. I actually don't live here much. I live outside of the town in a small home. Maybe someday you'll come with me? Smooth Yasou you just asked her out to your house again. I don't do much or earn much. I run a small restaurant, which I didn't seem to find today. I am actually a private physician medic. I practice for the poor and usually I don't charge them so I'm kind of living off of my dad's money. I don't like doing that but I know that at least this way I can still help the people who are too poor to go to a hospital and get proper treatment," answered Yasou while taking his chopstick and handing a piece of his shrimp wrap to Arune.
Wait he's a medic? There's no way a S-rank criminal will just give away treatments to people. How does this work out? This is more difficult then I thought. Should I trust him or pretend to trust him so I can find out more about the business.
"Wow you're a physician. That's like so cool. I always wanted to be a physician but my dad always told me that girls are only meant to get married and have kids not work in hospitals or get educated. I used to run off in the middle of the night and sneak into the library so I could get a decent education. My father made me drop out of school after the 9th standard he said as long as I could sign my name for the marriage papers I was educated enough to live," said Arune while playing the part of a helpless runaway girl.
"You've never been to college or even completed high school? How is that? You're so intelligent that it doesn't seem like that. Arune if you want I can teach you how to be a medic, I mean it's not that hard especially with the way you carry yourself. No one should be treated like you have. Your father is just too mean. I'm glad you ran away, at least now I can take care of you," Yasou said while taking his hand and rubbing her cheek.
Arune felt heat rush into her face as her heart swelled. No one had ever said that they would take care of her. For a man who barely knew her, who was rumored to be dangerous, he was the most caring and sweet man Arune had ever met. Some part of her felt like she was betraying her fiancé by feeling like this but in the end she knew that she was still on a mission, a seduction mission, one that her emotions did not count in.
Tears dropped while Arune leaned over and crashed into Yasou's embrace. She thanked him silently which was followed by Yasou asking her to stay with him at his apartment instead of at whatever hotel she was staying in. Arune obliged knowing that it would help her mission to stay with him.
After dinner Yasou walked Arune outside, he wanted to walk her to her hotel but she declined by telling him that he should get a room or something ready for her to stay in. Yasou asked if she would be comfortable with having the bedroom and she said that she would rather sleep on the couch then take the room for herself…in reality Arune would have loved to simply take the room and rummage through all of his belongings.
Once Arune reached the hotel she spotted Kakashi and Naruto telling them that her plan was going well and that she would be staying with Yasou instead of her hotel room.
Kakashi was furious. Why should he let his fiancé stay in the house, all alone, in his room, sleep on his bed, with a criminal, let alone another man? He told Arune that it was dangerous and that she should rather meet with him instead of stay with him. Kakashi summoned Pakkun and told Arune to take him with her. He grabbed her arm and told her that if Yasou tried to do anything to send Pakkun immediately for help.
Arune smiled and looked at Kakashi. She knew his possessive side was taking over while she was on this mission. She hoped that maybe he would be able to develop feelings for her, instead of the possessive ones. She walked over toward Kakashi and hugged him.
The poor guy just stood there looking and feeling confused.
I don't know why but I feel like I'm going to lose her. That Yasou guy is no friend and he's not safe. There has to be some reason that he's a S-ranked wanted criminal. I don't want Ruin to go to him. I just want her safe and I'm the only one who can keep her safe. I have to get this mission done soon. Otherwise I might just lose another loved one.
In the end Kakashi hugged her back and told her to be safe. Arune smiled up at him and told him that she'll be safe no matter what as long as Kakashi was watching out for her.
Moving back she did the summoning jutsu she placed on the scroll she found in Yasou's drawer.
"Kakashi, I want you to look at this. I found this in Yasou's drawer. I think it might be important. When you're done looking at it can you copy it using your sharingan then undo the summoning jutsu," she then showed him how to undo the jutsu.

Yasou knew that asking a random girl to stay at his place was odd but he had been drawn to her. He set up his bedroom for her and set up an air bed in the living room for him. He liked her but he did have the decency to leave her some privacy. He wouldn't get in bed with her until she asked him to.
Being the son of a infamous money launderer came with a lot of stares and degrading looks. Arune didn't seem to have any knowledge of how evil his father was and Yasou was starting to feel that maybe she would like to know if he was trying to pursue a relationship with her.
Arune walked in carrying one small bag and a backpack. She had left all of her ninja stuff at Kakashi and Naruto's hotel room because she didn't want Yasou to get suspicious of her. Yasou led her to his room and she put her stuff down.
"Arigato Yasou for letting me stay with you. I didn't have enough money to pay the hotel bill tonight, so if it wasn't for you I would be sleeping on the street. I'll just take the air bed in the living room. I don't want to impose on your room as well as your hospitality," said Arune secretly wishing that he would force her to sleep in his room tonight.
"No I insist you take the bedroom. It's not proper for a lady to be sleeping in the living room. I don't want the maid to come in and think you are some sort of low life. And there's no need to thank me Arune. I really like you even though it's only been a few hours since I've known you. I really hope we could be more. I know it's too fast but please do think about it. For now go rest and don't worry I won't do anything to you," said Yasou shoving her in the room while he used the only bathroom in the house.
After Yasou left Arune went in herself and got ready for bed. She waited until Yasou was asleep and went back into the bedroom. Tonight she had her work cut out.
