A/N: Tiny sequel for all you lovely people in celebration of 500 favorites. Thanks for the support. :)

This small one-shot focuses more on the other characters. I didn't get to write about Shisui, and I really love his character, so I placed him here! Also, there's a hint of NaruSasu, so to those who dislike this pairing, you can treat it as a platonic accident (hint, hint).

Someone asked about Hanari's age, so I included it at the chapter's end. Just check it out.

Pairings: Hanari/Itachi, Kushina/Minato, Mikoto/Fugaku, slight Naruto/Sasuke


"Marriage." Minato said flatly. Fugaku tensed, expecting something to combust in response to the Hokage's anger.

They were all seated on a seiza position, the Uchiha main family in one side and the Namikaze family facing them. Itachi and Hanari sat between their parents, smiling at each other rather exasperatedly. They were wearing formal clothing, as the meeting dictated they should. The men—apart from Itachi—looked grim.

The Hokage in particular looked like he wanted to cut a bitch.

"Marriage is a logical decision. After all, they've been in a relationship for three years now." Shikaku said idly, seated between both families.

Betrayed, Minato rounded on his Jounin Commander. "And why are you here, exactly?"

Shikaku gave his Hokage a bland look. "Do I look like I want to be here, Minato? Your wife dragged me here as some of sort in-between, just in case you people blow up the Hokage mansion or something. If you ask me, this is all so damn troublesome."

"That's the longest I've heard you speak all day, Uncle Shikaku." Hanari said, smiling slightly.

"Hush, you." Shikaku grumbled. "You're half the reason why I'm in this troublesome situation."

"We thank you for your assistance, Shikaku-san." Itachi said softly, bowing.

"And you're the other half of the problem so you don't get to talk either, Itachi." Shikaku huffed. "You know what? Forget it, I'm taking a nap."

Fugaku coughed, ignoring the Nara head as politely as he could. "So we'll be continuing, as per agreement of an Uchiha heir getting engaged—"

"Mou! What's with this strict rules?" Kushina burst out. "If my baby wants to get married, she should get married!"

They could hear the Hokage's teeth grinding.

"It's all ceremonial, Kushina." Mikoto explained patiently. "Hanari is to be the next Uchiha Matriarch, standing alongside Itachi. As her parents, you will accept Itachi's suit for her and only then will she be regarded as his official bride-to-be."

"It seems… archaic. I can't accept for myself?" Hanari frowned. Itachi had been hinting about marriage, but he had also told her that his clan had rather strict rules on an heir's engagement. He said he didn't care much for his clan's traditions and would have married her either way, but Hanari had insisted to know what kind of rules the Uchiha had. "Does it mean that as long as my parents don't accept, the Uchiha clan won't view our engagement as legitimate?"

"And it's the other way around as well." Mikoto said. "If we, as Itachi's parents, do not find his chosen wife suitable, we will refuse to bless the engagement. But of course," she added hastily. "We find you more than suitable, Hanari-chan. We accept you into our clan wholeheartedly."

"Thank you," Hanari smiled. "But still, it seems unfair that other clan members cannot marry without their parents' consent."

"It's an outdated practice," Fugaku nodded to Hanari, relieved to be talking to a Namikaze that didn't want to choke his son or bounce around the place. "But it has never been repealed."

"It's possible for you and Itachi to change it when he takes clan leadership." Mikoto said, smiling. Hanari looked at Itachi with thoughtful eyes.

"Wait, hold on. You're talking as if we've accepted Itachi's proposal already!" Minato interrupted. "We still haven't—"

He was met with flat looks from everyone.

(Except Itachi. The Uchiha heir had the sense not to stare at his future father-in-law with an annoyed, deadpan look. No matter how much he wanted to.)

"Minato…" Kushina said sweetly. "It seems we need another talk about the importance of not butting into our children's happiness."

The Hokage sputtered.

"You're outnumbered, Hokage-sama." Mikoto smirked smugly. "It's not like you can name another person who's against their marriage."

"Aside from fangirls, of course." Hanari said. "And fanboys. And any of our psychotic admirers. Especially that one who tried to voodoo his way into Itachi's affections."

Itachi didn't shudder, but there was a tiny spasm that went through his shoulders.

"There's your brother," Minato pointed out, grasping at straws. "Naruto doesn't approve."

Hanari glanced at the side of the room where her brother and Sasuke were slumped together, knocked out. There was a paralyzing seal on their legs, slapped on to them by her father and Fugaku-sama when they erupted into a brawl at the beginning of the meeting. She could see Naru-chan drooling and twitching slightly.

Hanari looked back to her father, beaming. "I'm lumping him together with you, tou-san, so he doesn't count. It's still one against all."

Kushina laughed at the indignant look on her husband's face.

"You and Naru-chan protest because of your unreasonable overprotectiveness." Kushina said, poking Minato. "But somewhere in your oversized brain, even you agree that our daughter's choice of husband is the best for her, Minato."

Minato wanted to sulk terribly. It was true. He knew that. He just didn't understand why it had to happen now. Can't Itachi wait for about thirty more years or so?

Impatient brat…

"But I am upset that our engagement is the reason why Sasuke and Naruto are fighting." Hanari said.

"It isn't our fault." Itachi said in a dry, amused voice. "That had been an explosion waiting to happen, Hanari."

Kushina giggled. "An explosion due years and years ago."

Hanari grimaced. A few days after she and Itachi started dating officially, Sasuke and Naruto got into their most terrible fight yet. Naruto was loudly complaining that Itachi didn't deserve his sister, calling the Uchiha heir all sorts of names. Sasuke, in a fit of indignant rage at the slight against his brother, punched the blonde in the face which devolved into an all-out brawl.

It had been three years since then, and the boys still refused to part ways without one of them getting scuffed up. They were perfectly in sync during missions, but during off-days it was one argument after the other. It wasn't even about Hanari and Itachi anymore; Naruto and Sasuke just found every reason to goad the other into a fit of anger. Although they were getting better as time went by (trading insults instead of fists these days), the topic of marriage between their siblings brought another slew of indignant words from Naruto and another punch in the face from Sasuke.

"They were rivals in the Academy," Mikoto said. "The only reason why they weren't this bad before was because they saw how their elder siblings got along."

"Too well, if you ask me." Minato muttered. Everyone ignored him.

"Things will die down." Itachi tried to soothe his bride-to-be. "They've been getting better before."

"They'll make up once we're married." Hanari said hopefully.


"Well," Hanari said faintly. "That's one way of making up."

Itachi smirked at her side, watching his younger brother march away with a red face. Although it was debatable if Sasuke's blush was because of the sake he had drunk or the accidental kiss he shared with Naruto. Again.

The younger Uchiha heir and the Hokage's son had been relatively mild throughout the wedding, even congratulating both their siblings sincerely after the ceremony. The reception was even a greater success for them, both boys relaxing enough for Naruto to sling one arm around Sasuke and for Sasuke to smirk at some of the blonde's jokes, just like they were before their big fight. Then Inuzuka Kiba suddenly appeared to nudge Naruto hard on the back, sending the half-drunk boys careening into each other.

Smack dab into a full kiss. In plain view of a hundred guests.

Obito and Shisui were still hooting with laughter.

"Didn't that happen before? At the Academy?" Hanari said. Naruto was making exaggerated puking sounds in the background. "Does this mean all their fights are due to hormones? Unresolved tension?"

"Your father looks like he's having a stroke." Itachi said, a gleeful note in his voice. It wasn't audible to most, but Hanari knew Itachi's pleased tone more than anyone else.

"You so do enjoy making my father miserable, husband." Hanari said, staring as her father took a despondent gulp of alcohol. "It's not because he gave you such a hard time before he passed you his approval, right?"

"Hn." Itachi looked impassive, although there was an unnoticeable smirk on his face. "Wife."

"Oh look, Hinata-chan's… actually I don't know why Hinata-chan's face is like that." Hanari said in confusion. "She looks like she's upset, which is understandable since she has such a crush on my brother, but at the same time she looks…er—"

"Like a yaoi fangirl." Shisui chortled, appearing in between the newlyweds and slinging an arm on both of them. "She has a nosebleed, naughty girl. They're all perverts, those Hyuugas."

"Shisui," Itachi deadpanned.

"Itachi, the man of the hour!" Shisui crowed. "Twenty-one and already hitched! How sad is that? The shackles of marriage got you early, huh?"

"Shisui," Hanari said sweetly, gripping his arm tightly. "What are you implying?"

If Shisui were a more sensible man (and less drunk), he wouldn't have ignored the warning bells blaring in his mind. But he was not sensible, so he just grinned. "Just that it's too early for Itachi to turn into a hen-pecked husband, Hari-chan. Go easy on him, 'kay? Don't go all dominatrix on him, although I think he might enjoy being tied up." Shisui cackled. "There was this one mission—"

"I think," Itachi said softly. "You have had enough to drink, Shisui."

And because there was no one deadlier than Itachi in Shisui's books, his common sense caught up with him and he giggled nervously. "Such a prude, Itachi."

"I fully intend to make use of my marital bed tonight, Shisui." Itachi said. "Whereas you are going home alone. Again."

As expected, Shisui suddenly looked indignant. "Hey! Are you saying I can't bag a woman tonight? Well guess what, cousin! You're not the only one who's on duty this evening!"

And having said the last word, he wobbled away, dark eyes trailed on some random girl. Itachi looked relieved to see him go.

Hanari sighed. "Any bets on him getting slapped?"

"That's a sucker's bet." Itachi smirked.

"Of course it is." Hanari said. "Then I better find Aunt Tsunade instead."

Itachi chuckled and pressed his lips on her ear. "Don't take too long, wife. I fully intend to fulfill my duties as husband to you tonight."

Hanari's flushed face brought another round of chuckles from her husband.


...

A/N: Well, there you go. Not as fleshed out as I want it to be, but I'm satisfied with it.

Kushina and Mikoto got their big wedding, Minato grudgingly gave his approval, and the whole of Konoha attended the ceremony. The End.

In terms of ages, the Naruto series is a bit iffy. In canon, when Obito was buried alive, he was thirteen and Itachi was four. So when I inserted Hanari in the story, I made her the same age as Itachi in order to make her old enough to warn Minato of Obito's whereabouts.

So, during the first chapter of this story, Naruto and co. were 12. Itachi and Hanari were 17. In this chapter, three years have passed.

Do the math.

Oh and btw, I'm thinking of putting this in a series called 'Reincarnation' (so original, I know). It's basically a series of fics where Harry is reincarnated as a main female character from Naruto. I'd write a story where he's a male character, but I'm still working on it. First is Hanari of course, a Namikaze daughter. I'm thinking Temari for next fanfic. Already starting with it.

Read and Review.

Memory out!
