Part one of a three shot, I don't own Naruto.


Jiraiya watches

I made a mistake. I thought we were a team, I thought we'd never be seperated . . . how wrong I was. Horror is the one word I could use when I learned about what you did. In battle we watched over each other, I remeber so many times when you rescued me, and when I saved you. Remember the night you didn't sugar coat the news that Tsunade had lost her younger brother? I never thought twice then, But I remember thinking, yuo should've wathced over her heart, Sensei even told you to watch over us when we were youner . . . I hated being the one that was weaker. But I trusted you. Our confrontation was brief. And I learned that I could never trust you again. Someone had to track you, Keep an eye on you. I started watching over you, from afar, making sure you never saw me. I watched you get stronger, I saw you leave Akatsuki. I saw you start sound. I watched over you, like I had always unconciously done. Now any hope I had for you is long gone, I guess it left soon after that night you left, and I found myself watching two other boys, just like us, but everything was sped up. Now I'm watching over the one that chose the path similar to mine, and the girl that followed Tsunade. While you keep clinging to your life, I'm more than content to watch mine slide away, but I'll keep watching over my precious people, and somehow, through all your crimes, you've stayed a precious person to me. Fool that I am, I'm still watching over you.
