Author's Notes: So after the sadness of the last chapter, something short and sweet to lighten your mood, with a bit of added drama and intrigue as usual... Kushina sees her brother with his ring and explores the possibility of marriage.
N.S.D.P.
Extra Twenty Six: Kids and Holy Matrimony
"Kiiiiiiiiids! Cut it out!"
There was nothing but the noise of the little red head Kushina yelling at her three year-old cousins, who were just busy getting into things like regular three year-olds did. The girl had a bit of a short temper like her dad at times and was getting pissed off because the terrible triplets were tearing up her room.
"Get out, get out, get out!" she screamed.
"Getoutgetoutgetout!" the trio screamed back, before bursting into fits of giggles.
Kushina groaned loudly, before seeing her older brother in the doorway.
"Kushina, why are you yelling at them?" he asked calmly.
"Because they're little and annoying and won't go in their own room," Kushina whined to her big brother. "Tell them to go away please."
"Alright," Miyaki agreed with a chuckle, "I'll get them to go away. Although, you know that you were that annoying at one point right?" he pointed out, reaching up to ruffle red locks.
"Hey…" she grumbled, before exclaiming, "Hey what's this? Is this new?"
She looked intently at the diamond ring on the man's finger. He held up his hand and explained, "Yeah… Riku gave it to me. It's an engagement ring."
"Engagement? What does that mean?"
"It means that he asked me if I wanted to marry him, and I said yes, so he gave me this ring which means one day we're going to get married and probably have a wedding," Miyaki said with a smile.
"Oh, like Namkishi is getting married too?" Kushina questioned.
"Exactly,"
"Do all married people have rings?"
"Usually they do, they're gold, and sometimes have a diamond in them,"
Kushina was left to mull that over, while Miyaki called to the triplets, "Do you guys want a snack in the kitchen?"
"Yay!" they cried, following Miyaki out the room like little ducklings all in a row.
"Hey, why do they get a snack for being annoying?" Kushina demanded, before deciding to follow them into the kitchen too.
Sitting in the kitchen was Naruto, eating his customary bowl of ramen while reading the newspaper at the bar. As soon as Miyaki walked in, kids in tow, Naruto asked, "You guys weren't planning to have a wedding were you?"
"Um… probably not. Neither of us really care," Miyaki admitted.
"It would probably make Sasuke really happy if you did," Naruto suggested with a grin. "I mean since we never had one ourselves or anything."
"I'll think about it dad," he said, focusing on finding the kids something to snack on in the cabinets.
Kushina took her dad's right hand and looked, getting excited when she noticed there was a gold ring on his hand. "Daddy you and mama are married right?"
"Yep we are,"
"Is being married nice?"
"It's nice if you marry someone you enjoy being around. When you get married, it's like committing yourself to your best friend, that you want to be a part of each other's lives," Naruto explained.
Kushina nodded, then added, "I think I would want to marry you daddy, because you're my best friend and I want to be apart of your life too."
"Aww, thanks Kushina!" Naruto said, hugging the little girl. "However that's not how marriage works, because we're already family and I'm going to love you no matter what. Usually when people get married, they marry someone who isn't part of their family because they want them to join their family… understand?"
The girl's blue eyes widened in a moment of insight and she nodded. "I understand now… I'm gonna go out and play is that alright?"
"Sure, just be back by dinner time,"
Forgoing the snack, the red-head immediately left out the house, intent on where she was about to go.
XXXXX
Seiji was surprised when he came downstairs into his living room to find Kushina sitting there, waiting for him. He assumed that one of the servants must've have let her in, because he certainly wasn't expecting her today. "Hi Kushina… did you want to go out and play?"
"Yeah! Are you allowed to come outside?" she asked.
"C'mon, I'll go find my dad and ask," Seiji said, gesturing for the girl to follow him.
The two walked down the hall, headed towards the study where Neji spend the majority of his time when he wasn't out doing ninja work. However, as the two got closer, they noticed the door was slightly cracked, and there were voices coming from inside, raised voices.
"What's going on-"
"Shh," he said, gently placing his hand over the girls mouth, before motioning for them to get closer.
"….You know that this obviously isn't a good idea Neji. It's a terrible idea, and I'm not saying this to be mean or anything, but I think that you should've nipped their dating in the bud. Like this family needs anymore outsiders getting married into it and getting dragged into this shit. We both know, obviously,"
"Well Hinako, honestly I could've nipped it in the bud but you know how teenagers are, they would've done anything just to prove how in love they are. Which I don't doubt for second, but I'm just saying they were going to do this anyways-"
"You should've arranged a marriage for him three years ago Neji, what the fuck were you doing?" Hinako questioned. "Besides sleeping with my ex-husband of course."
"Hinako don't bring that shit up this isn't about me," Neji spat.
"Do you want your son to do that to Miyaki once he gets bored of him? Since Hyuuga males just think they can toy around once they get sick of their wives-"
"Look, that doesn't have anything to do with me-"
The kids were looking at each other, bewildered. They didn't quite understand the multitude of what was being talked about, except that their respective big brothers were being discussed and that lots of yelling was going on.
"What are you guys-?" Riku questioned, looking at the two kids sitting suspiciously by the door. They both gestured for him to shush.
Eavesdropping, he figured. Still he was kind of curious as to what was going on, he heard arguing, so he decided to listen as well.
"….I'm just saying you know all the men in this family do that, only because they can't get a divorce anyways. It's either that or be shunned for it like me," Hinako explained.
"Well I figured if he married someone he obviously liked, then that wouldn't be an issue,"
"You and Sasuke are being oddly complacent about this. What makes you think you can bend the rules for him? I mean I hate to point it out, but you're only in the branch family, I highly doubt they're going to let Riku marry another man, a Uchiha at that. Not to add that they're already pissed at you for not having him get married at eighteen like he was supposed to,"
"Well they're pissed at you for getting divorced, so we're even,"
"No we're not. I wasn't going to put up with my husband sleeping with my cousin,"
"Maybe if my father had been around to try and help me avoid getting an arranged marriage, I would've been able to marry Shikamaru and you would have been with someone who truly loved you. I just had a moment of clarity that I don't want Riku to keep wondering that same what if when he's older,"
"I admire that, I just don't think there's really going to be much you're going to be able to do, just to be honest. He's going to be married soon but I don't think it's going to be to Miyaki," Hinako stated bluntly, giving Neji a look
The kids looked at each other, then up at Riku. Kushina asked, "Why did your Aunt Hinako say that you and Miyaki won't be married?"
"C'mon you guys, we don't need to sit here and listen anymore," Riku suggested, motioning for the kids to follow him.
"But why did Aunt Hinako say that?" Seiji asked this time.
"She just doesn't know I guess, people in love always get married no matter what, right Riku?"
"Of course they do you guys, you just can't believe anyone who says otherwise. Me and Miyaki are still getting married," he tried to reassure them, and the little kids accepted that. He just didn't know if he could assure himself just as easily…
XXXXX
The little ones sat outside in the Hyuuga's garden, lounging in the lush grass as they basked in the sunlight. Seiji looked over at Kushina as though he were expecting something, gazing at the girl as she picked with pink flowers. "So what do you want to do?" he asked at last. Kushina usually had some kind of plan up her sleeve.
"Seiji, I wanna get married too~" she announced, grinning.
"Um… I don't think we're old enough," he stated matter-of-factly.
"Oh pish-posh, that's just the man trying to get us down. If I love you and totally want you in my family, we should get married! My daddy said so… and my big brother and your big brother are getting married. So why not us?"
Seiji looked bewildered and confused, not knowing what to say to the red-head.
"What, you don't love me and what me in your family?" Kushina asked.
"Um…" he sighed. "I don't know. I'm seven, I don't think I'm ready for that kind of commitment."
"But I want to be married! My brother and my cousin are both getting married and everyone else is doing it so we should do it too! Everyone else in the entire village is already married okay? Please? I'll be your best friend forever!" Kushina all but pleaded the youngest Hyuuga. "Plus, I'm pretty, you'd have a pretty wife."
"But we are best friends already, I just don't wanna marry you," he groaned.
"Why?"
"Can't we just play videogames instead?"
Kushina scoffed loudly, scowling as she stormed off. "Stupid boys!"
To Be Continued...
AN: Since the holiday season is coming up, and I'm feeling somewhat festive, I think I'm going to make some seperate extra holiday chapters (If I weren't already dragging this story on longer than I'd hoped...) in addition to the main story. Although I have officially decided that the story will end when Kushina grows up. It was originally gonna end once Miyaki grew up, but then I decided on them having Kushina and now I kinda want to wait until she grows up haha. Still, look out for Naruto and Sasuke: Christmas Potential coming soon as well as the next NSDP chapter! :)
Read and Review please!
