"Kyuubi talking"

Love will never die

Chapter 1

The day after the festival Sasuke practically dragged Itachi down the street a bright smile taking over her face. Itachi couldn't help but smile as the younger teen glowed with happiness.

"So who do you want to tell first?" Itachi shrugged and pulled Sasuke hand, reining her in and calming her down.

"Whoever you wish, but I think Shin-kun and Tara-chan will be upset if they're the last to know." Sasuke's nodded as she let go of Itachi's hand just to twirl around before taking it again and continuing down the street, this time at a slower pace.

"Then I think they should be first. Where do you think they'll be?" Itachi chuckled at the girl's eagerness and looked up at the early morning sky.

"Well it's a little after 9 so they are probably with Minato-san seeing if he has any missions for them." Sasuke started to walk faster but Itachi pulled her back to his side with a smile of his lips. Sasuke pouted but her smile was back a minute later when she saw the new ring adorning her finger.

About 20 minutes later they arrived at the Hokage's tower but instead of going up to Minato's office they only went up one flight of stairs and turned into a large currently empty room. It had a long desk along one side with several chairs behind it. Sasuke pouted and pulled her hand from Itachi's only to cross her arms and pout. Itachi gave a fake sigh before swooping forward and wrapping the young girl in his arms, causing a fit a giggles to fall from her lips.

"What's with the sad face?" Sasuke smiled as her laughter finally stopped and she leaned back into Itachi's chest.

"Well you said they'd be here and they're not." Itachi smirked.

"I said they're probably here, it's still early so they'll be coming in soon." He started to play with the loose bangs framing Sasuke's face. Sasuke start fidgeting again so Itachi turned her head to face him and kissed her full on the lips. It was a simple kiss but it did its job perfectly as Sasuke instantly calmed down and leaned into the kiss. Itachi smiled as he pulled away.

"Calm down… it won't change their reaction if they find out sooner." Sasuke sighed and nodded while laying her head on his shoulder.

"You're right… as always. I just wish they would hurry up. I only really care to tell them and Minato-san." Before Itachi could say anything a deep voice came from the door behind them.

"And just what may I ask did you want to tell me?" Sasuke gasped and spun around Itachi to see the tall blond Hokage. Minato smiled as he walked into the room with a bundle of mission scrolls. As he waited for her to speak he walked to the desk and separated the scrolls by rank. Itachi smiled behind the blonde's back and nudged Sasuke toward him. When she hesitated he took her hand and led her up to the desk.

"Hokage-sama, Sasuke-chan really wanted to tell you something." Sasuke gave Itachi a soft glare but nervously looked up at Minato, who was now looking at her with a kind smile and patient eyes.

"Minato-san I wanted you to be one of the first to know that… Itachi-kun proposed to me!" a smile instantly brightened her face as she held out her newly ringed finger. Minato's eyes widened at the news but they quickly returned to normal as his smile softened and he reached out to take Sasuke's hand. He closely inspected the ring before wrapping Sasuke in a hug.

"I'm so happy for you Sasuke-chan. Who else are you going to tell?" Sasuke smiled and pulled out of the hug before twirling around, looking at her ring and giggling.

"Well not many people but Shin-kun and Tara-chan are a given, as well Lady Tsunade!" Minato's approving smile made her feel happy and she continued to spin around in a fit of pleased giggles. Itachi smiled and gently caught her stopping her continuous spinning.

"So Minato-san would you happen to know where we can find our prey?" the blond laughed as the door to the room opened and a few other older chunin walked in with more mission scrolls. They didn't even spare the three conversing shinobi a glance, seeing as they were so focused on the work at hand.

"Hmm, I think Shin and Tara are coming here in a few minutes and you can usually find Tsunade at the hospital. Did you want to go to her or wait here?" Itachi looked down at Sasuke, who put on a fake thinking face before smiling and grabbing Itachi's hand.

"Let's go to Tsunade-san, we already know where she is, and when we come back hopefully Shin-kun and Tara-chan will be here… that is if our faithful Hokage-sama will stall them for us?" Minato chuckled and mockingly thought about it before a smile completely showed itself and he ruffled Sasuke's hair, even though she was only a head shorter than Itachi.

"Of course just be quick and I will hold them off as long as I can." Sasuke smiled again and quickly turned toward the door with Itachi's hand still in her own. Once they were gone Minato's smile softened. 'It's about time those kids have a real family again.' he looked toward the door one more time before turning to get back to work.

Once they left the tower Sasuke let go of Itachi's hand before stopping in front of him and smiling. Itachi's raised an eyebrow in silent question but all he got was Sasuke placing a kiss on his cheek before jumping onto the nearest roof and running toward the hospital, loud giggles falling in her wake.

'You sneaky little girl.' He was quickly on the roof following her. In a few long, chakra infused jumps he closed the distance between them but Sasuke continued to laugh as she sped up. Itachi couldn't help the smile that crept onto his face when he finally caught the young teen in front of the hospital, almost making them both tumble and fall onto the ground. Sasuke happily continued to giggle as Itachi squeezed his hold tighter.

"You thought you could out run me?" Sasuke just laughed and quickly snaked out of his hold.

"No I just wanted to see how distractions worked on you." If Itachi was a lesser man he would have rolled his eyes but instead he just recaptured Sasuke and lifted her off the ground spinning them both around a few times before returning her feet to the ground.

"Well now that you know do you want to go-" he was cut off by Shizune, Tsunade's assistant, walking outside with a curious expression.

"What are you two doing out here?" Sasuke smiled and again freed herself from Itachi's hold.

"Sorry Shizune-san we were coming to see Tsunade-san, is she in?" Shizune gave them a skeptical look before nodding and holding open the doors for them.

"She's in her office on the third floor." Sasuke nodded her thanks before grabbing Itachi's hand and dragging him inside. Shizune smiled after them and softly shook her head. It didn't take them long before they found the blond doctor's office. Sasuke was actually standing slightly behind Itachi and let him knock on the door.

"Come on in." Itachi gave her a small reassuring smile and walked into the office. Once she saw them Tsunade groaned and rubbed the bridge of her nose. "Please don't tell me you did something this early?" Sasuke shyly shook her head but didn't speak so Itachi answered.

"No we aren't here for an injury… Sasuke wanted you to be one of the few people to know that…" He paused to see if Sasuke wanted to tell her but the raven didn't say anything so he continued. "I proposed to her." Tsunade gasped and in a second was around the desk in front of Sasuke.

"Oh let me see." Sasuke nervously lifted her hand and showed her the silver band around her finger. Tsunade smiled and held Sasuke's hand to take a closer look. "You picked a beautiful ring Itachi-kun it complements Sasuke-chan wonderfully." At her words Sasuke suddenly came to life, a smile lighting her features.

"I know isn't it beautiful?" the two girls squealed and jumped in happiness, causing Itachi to close his eyes and pinch the bridge of his nose. "But you can't tell anyone, we're keeping this as quiet as possible." Tsunade just smiled and nodded happily.

"Of course, but are you going to tell anyone else? I better not have been the last one." At her angry tone Sasuke smiled.

"We only told Minato-sama and you, but we're going to tell Shin-kun and Tara-chan. So you were the second one we told." Tsunade seemed pleased with this information because she dragged Itachi into a hug along with Sasuke.

"I'm so happy for you guys, I know you'll be perfect for each other." Itachi gave her a small barely noticeable smile but Sasuke roughly nudged him in the stomach causing him to wince before giving the blond a real smile. Tsunade chuckled and released them, looking from one to the other. "You better take care of her Itachi." Itachi sighed and gently wrapped one arm around Sasuke waist.

"I already do that." Sasuke nodded as she looked over her shoulder at the raven.

"That you don't have to worry about." Tsunade's smile softened as she saw love in Itachi's eyes for the first time since she'd known the teen. Suddenly a loud voice sounded from outside the office.

"Lady Tsunade code 1 in the lobby. Lady Tsunade to the lobby." The blond frowned before hurrying to the door.

"I'm sorry I can't stay, I'll come by later and we'll celebrate." Sasuke smiled as the blond flew out of the office to do her job. Itachi grabbed her attention when he removed his arm from her waist. She looked up at him with curious eyes but he just smirked and kissed her nose before disappearing from the hospital. Sasuke gasped and bolted down the hallway.

"Cheater!" when she finally left the hospital she saw Itachi already running across roof tops towards the tower. She quickly pumped chakra into her legs and flew after him. A minute later she crashed into him when he came to an abrupt halt. But he managed to keep them standing.

"Did I hear you just call me a cheater?" Sasuke smiled and tapped him on the nose.

"Yes you did…" her smile widened as she quickly slipped from his hold and dashed inside. Itachi smirked and slowly followed her. The moment he walked into the tower a weight landed on his back and arms circled loosely around his neck. "Why did you let me win?" Sasuke pouted as Itachi just let her ride his back up to the mission room they had left only an hour ago.

"It gets boring winning all the time." Sasuke gasped and smacked the back of his head, none too gently.

"That's mean." Itachi lightly chucked and lowered her to the ground once outside their destination. There was a low murmur of voices from behind the door so the day's mission distribution had begun. Sasuke looked up at Itachi. "Do you think they're here yet?" before Itachi could answer a loud voice came from behind them.

"Kakashi-sensei please tell me we're getting a better mission today." The two ravens turned around and saw team seven heading toward mission hand out. Kakashi sighed but looked surprised when he saw Sasuke and Itachi.

"Sasuke-chan I didn't expect you and Itachi-san to be here. Normally you two get your mission from Minato-sama directly." Sasuke smiled.

"We're trying to find Shin-kun and Tara-chan. Minato-sama said they'd be here." Kakashi nodded and passed them only to hold open the door.

"Well in that case." Sasuke smiled and followed team seven inside with Itachi a few steps behind her. Once inside the room Sasuke quickly scanned the present shinobi, a mischievous smile suddenly appearing as she spotted the two ninja she was looking for. With silent steps fit for her rank Sasuke crept across the room until she was right behind Shin before suddenly jumping on his back causing him to actually scream. Tara burst out laughing drawling attention from the present shinobi in the room.

"Shin-kun! We've been looking for you and Tara-chan." Shin smiled and let Sasuke hang from his neck while Itachi stepped up next to the group.

"Oh really and what has you searching for us so eagerly?" Sasuke giggled and let go only to spin around Shin so she was standing between the two siblings.

"This." She held out her hand to Tara who looked confused but the moment she saw the shiny silver ring she squealed and grabbed Sasuke's hand.

"Oh Kami really… I mean Itachi you really… oh this is so exciting." Sasuke laughed and smiled at the older brunette. Shin was gaping at the young teen before a small smile appeared and he looked at Itachi.

"It's about time. I thought you would never ask her… who else did you tell?" Itachi sighed and quickly glanced around the room, making sure team seven was across the room talking with Minato before answered.

"She told Minato-sama and Tsunade-san, I figure she'll also tell Kushina-sama but I think that's it. She doesn't want a lot of people knowing." Shin nodded but winced when Tara let out a high pitched squeal in front of them. He frowned at his sister but returned his attention to Itachi.

"I can see why she wouldn't want others to know… she's changed you." Itachi raised an eyebrow but nodded and turned his attention back to the girls.

"I know… I don't see how anyone can hate her, she's…" Shin chuckled and clapped him on the back.

"Don't worry Itachi-kun things can only get better from here." Itachi smirked and watched as Sasuke happily told Tara about the festival her eyes glowing with excitement and love. Their attention was pulled away from the conversation when Kakashi walked up to them.

"So do I want to know what all the squealing is about?" Sasuke blushed in embarrassment and hide behind Tara but Minato walked up behind Kakashi distracting him with a smile.

"Now Kakashi you should know by now that young girls have every right to squeal at anything they wish with absolutely no reason for it." The blond gave Sasuke a sly wink causing her to giggle with Tara, who had also seen it. "Now you and team seven have a mission." Kakashi groaned when Naruto's loud voice carried across the room.

"Come on Kakashi-sensei we have to get going." Minato smiled and patted Kakashi on the back.

"Please bring him back alive and preferably conscious this time." Kakashi sighed but nodded.

"You just love torturing me." Minato laughed and waved them off.

"It's only torture if you are getting permanently hurt." Kakashi's shoulders slumped in defeat as he followed the bouncing blond out of the room. Minato laughed at his old student's misfortune before turning back to the four young shinobi. Sasuke smiled up at him while practically dancing between Itachi and Tara.

"Minato-sama, Tsunade-san is coming over later to celebrate. Would you and Kushina-sama like to come as well?" Minato smiled.

"I would love to come and I bet Kushina would too… I take it you two are also coming?" he looked at Tara and Shin. Tara's face brightened as she slung her arm across Shin's shoulders.

"Of course." Minato nodded and turned once again to Sasuke.

"How does 6 sound?" Sasuke smiled.

"Oh perfect I'll make dinner and we can all relax." Minato smiled back.

"Well in that case maybe I'll send Kushina over early… you know how she likes cooking." Sasuke laughed and stopped spinning around.

"Of course… but it's still quite early…" Minato smirked and walked back over to the table, he shuffled through some scrolls before smiling and bringing it back.

"I have just the thing to pass the time and you can all do it together." Shin and Tara smiled and nodded.

"Perfect." Minato smiled once again and handed Itachi the scroll.

"It's a C-rank mission but it should take a while… unless you want a higher level mission?" Sasuke shook her head.

"This will be perfect thank you Minato-sama." The blond nodded and quickly shooed them from the room so he could get back to work.

TBC

Yeah I know whenever there is a sequel you start off a while after the first but I wanted to continue where I left off. If you don't like it :P on you… but if you do yea! I feel accomplished.

Oh and I know it's weird how even though Naruto, Sakura and Sai passed the exam they still work with Kakashi but Sasuke was a special case so when she was promoted she got to leave her team, while the rest have to stay together even as Chunin, unless their specific skills are needed elsewhere.

Anyways like before reviews make the chapters come faster.
