4-11-13 I know it's been forever since I did anything with this fic, but I figured that I would edit it and possibly continue it. I've been a bit on a Naruto kick lately and thought I might pull this back out...

This was a little something that came to mind while I was at work today, and I thought that I would share. I have been wanting to do a TsuJir fic for awhile. They are just so perfect together. I hope you enjoy. Please review if you have a moment! Thanks!

A/N: I do not own any of the characters of Naruto! I'm just having a bit of fun with them.

Wrath of the Slug Princess

I have to do this. The white haired twenty something said to himself. He had already committed himself to this path when he stopped at the vendor on the corner and bought her flowers. Going about this in this way was so foreign to him. It wasn't like him to break down and try the normal romantic way to try and win her.

He walked tall down the sidewalk to her apartment. He smiled on the outside but he was really going over things in his head. He knew that he wouldn't chicken out. He just worried about the response she was bound to give. A slammed door, a punch to the gut, he just didn't know, but he was sure that it was bound to be violent.

He stopped at the front door to the building and rung the bell, he crossed his fingers and prayed that she would even let him up.

BUZZ!

It seemed like it was an eternity before she responded on the intercom.

"Hello?"

"Tsunade-hime. It's me, Jiraiya. Can I come up?" There was a long pause and he was certain that she was at least sighing loudly.

BUZZ!

With the noise of the door unlocking Jiraiya beamed, he was so happy. But the real battle was about to begin. He grabbed the door and ran up the three flights of stairs to her apartment.

Tsunade buzzed down to unlock the door and groaned. She was really hoping that he was just coming over to hang out and leave at a decent hour. Unlike last time when he passed out on her couch and was snoring like a maniac.

She was wearing comfortable clothes, a green t-shirt and some good fitting jeans. Her blonde hair was loose, pulled over her shoulder, and hung down over her chest. She walked over to the door and removed the chain lock.

It was taking her forever to open the door to the anxious man on the other side. He held the flowers behind his back. He knew that this was going to be a delicate situation.

The door knob moved and the door swung into the room. She looked up at him, he was so much taller than her. He was wearing a t-shirt, jeans and a flannel shirt that he wore unbuttoned. His white hair was wild and stuck out in all directions.

"So what are you waiting for baka? Common in." She said with a smirk on her face.

Jiraiya knew that this was working much better than he thought that it would, his grin widened into a smile, and he brought the bouquet of flowers out from behind his back. The flowers were a melody and harmony of wildflowers. Simple and pretty.

Tsunade was shocked and stared at the flowers. "Are those for me?" She asked quietly.

"Of course Hime." He gently extended them forward to her. She took them, still sort of speechless she went into the kitchen to get a vase. Jiraiya moved into the living area but didn't sit down. He was kind of tense still, he didn't know what to expect. Tsu-hime hadn't reacted in a way he was expecting.

Tsunade walked into the room and put the vase on her coffee table in front of her couch.

"Thanks," she said wanting to call him her pet name, she refrained and said, "Ji-kun." Tsunade walked over to her couch and sat down. "So what is the occasion?"

Jiraiya sat down in the chair facing her, "I just thought that you should have some, and I was kind of hoping that you would join me for dinner."

The mention of something like a date brought Tsunade out of her stupor. She had this thing about going out somewhere like that with Jiraiya. She just didn't. She didn't want to ruin the friendship that they had, and she was afraid that she would loose him like her previous boyfriend if she got to close to her long time friend.

Jiraiya saw the spooked look in her eyes, and raised his hands in defense.

"Hime, it's just dinner, okay. We're just going as friends if that will make you feel better about it. We'll even go karaoke." Even though it doesn't make me feel any better about this situation.

She blinked and sighed. "Karaoke only if you pay for the sake." A smirk coming onto her lips.

Jiraiya laughed and said, "Sure Hime, whatever you want."

Tsunade stood up and said, "I'll be out in a bit, I'm going to freshen up before we go anywhere." She walked out the room and toward the back where the bathroom and her bedroom were.

Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief. So far this has gone way better than previously thought. I haven't been injured physically at least. I guess I'll just really have to work hard in getting her to come around. Tonight's bar tab might be huge though. He laughed.

"What?" Tsunade called from the bedroom.

"Nothing Hime, I was just laughing to myself." He relaxed a bit and leaned back in the chair.

After a while Tsunade came out of the back with her hair pulled up and curled a bit, she had changed into a pink top with sequin embellishments, and had put on some heels to match. She went to stand in front of Jiraiya, smiled and posed for him. He smiled. Tonight is going to be a hella lot of fun.

Thanks for taking the time to ready my story! I'll have another chapter up soon.
