Hello, everybody! After reading a fanfic by Excele Kurokami, it was brought to my attention that there really aren't enough NarukoX(Girl) fics on here... So I'm gonna do my part and make one. :D

Okay. Basically, this is an AU fic about Naruko going through a loss, and being comforted by her friend, who I will reveal later on. They're all in high school, and there won't be any ninja. This will be my second fic that's not a one-shot, meaning no PWP! XD There will be Yuri in later chapters, but not for a while. Mostly fluff for a bit. But I'm rambling... On with the story!

Chapter 0: Prologue

"Oh, Naruko-chan. I'm surprised to see you here." The nurse looked up at the blonde girl from her clipboard.

"Why? HE'S here... He's almost like a father to me. I wanna see him..." Naruko's voice, despite slight wavering from tears, sounded strong.

"Well... Visiting hours are over... Jiraiya-san needs to rest. He needs to keep his strength up for-"

"Shut up! I said I want to see him! If you aren't gonna do anything for him, I at least want to talk to him!" Tears were forming in the girl's eyes now, threatening to spill at any moment. The nurse caught this and sighed.

"Alright... You know where he is. But don't tell ANYONE I'm letting you do this." She turned around, pretending not to see Naruko as she walk into Jiraiya's room.

Jiraiya sighed and sat up, expecting a nurse. His face almost lit up, however, when he saw Naruko enter instead. A smile found its way to his face. "Hey, kiddo. How's it going? Still having problems with that Gaara kid?"

"Hey, old man... No, he's leaving me alone now. How're you feeling?" She offered a sympathetic smile.

"Eh... The same as I was yesterday... You're late, by the way. How come?"

She chuckled and looked down at her feet. "Sorry... My boss had me overtime..." She felt horrible about it, but instead of being scolded or anything like that, she felt Jiraiya's hand on her shoulder.

"Hey, don't look so sour, kid. You tried, right? That's all I care about. It's not your fault." She looked up at him and only saw him smiling, like he always did. She knew him best that way. The ever cheerful perv. It brought a little happiness to the sad smile gracing Naruko's lips. She looked up at him, smiling for real now. He chuckled and covered up more, yawning. "I'm felling pretty tired... Can I get some sleep? You can come back tomorrow too."

Naruko nodded, gently patting his head. "Don't sleep too much, or you'll be too lazy to get up." She flashed a smile at him, causing him to chuckle.

"Yeah, yeah... Oh, hey, kiddo?"

"Hm?"

A pervy smirk found its way to Jiraiya's face as his hands appeared, clearly wanting to grope something. "Before you go, take off your shirt for me for a minute."

Naruko's face suddenly reddened, from anger and embarrassment. "W-WHAT? No way! You're like my dad, you pervy old man!" Truthfully, she knew why he was asking. Apart from her having a killer body- a slim waist, generous hips, C-cup breasts, and the kind of legs that would make some pornstars jealous- she knew he also didn't have long left in this world. She couldn't blame him for his request, no matter how awkward it sounded to her. A sigh escaped her lips after a few moments. "...Fine... Just this once... A-And only for a few seconds! Got me?"

Jiraiya laughed and smiled. "Of course, kid." He got that pervy look again as Naruko very reluctantly lifted her shirt, letting her breasts almost pop out of the cloth prison. Luckily for her (and unfortunately for him), she had a bra on. His hands rested on her breasts, gently squeezing and kneading them until he had been satisfied. Naruko quickly put her shirt back down, her face a deep scarlet color.

"N-Never again... Nnh... I-I'll see you tomorrow..." She grabbed her purse and stood up, shooting him a friendly glare. He laughed again and patted her shoulder.

"Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow, kid. Good night."

She walked out of the room after saying good night, running into the same nurse. She smiled at Naruko. "How did your visit go? Your face is red."

The blonde looked at her feet and sighed. "I don't wanna get into it..."

The nurse sweatdropped and nodded. "R-Right... Um... Good night, and I might see you tomorrow."

Naruko nodded 'Can't wait...' She left to her car and hopped in, turning on the radio. Nothing calmed her more than blasting her favorite punk rock band ever: Bowling for Ramen. She sped home, eager to get some sleep.

So, there we go. I think I set up the story okay... I dunno. Tell me what you think. Next chapter, I introduce more characters and go into the trouble with Gaara that Jiraiya mentioned. Review, please! It lets me know I'm actually writing for a good reason. You know, that I'm not wasting my time writing these, and that my work is actually being read.

Peace out, yo!
