Chapter 2: February 13
6:00 AM
A big crashed coming from the window had woken up the Fifth Hokae, she quickly sat up her bed with eyes still closed and frowned, she reached for the alarm clock with her right arm and when grabbed it, slowly opened her eyes to look at what time it was. The square green alarm clock said 6:00 AM. Yes, six o'clock in the freakin' morning. Not usually her favourite time of the day, and also she was up an hour early.
She opened her eyes when she felt the bed moved. Someone was now sat next to her, and who could it be?
"GOOOOOOOD MORRRNING HIIME!" said an annoying voice.
Tsunade tried opening her eyes fully, after about three failed tries, she did it. A white-haired man, two red lines running from his eyes and a big wide grin was what she saw. She closed her eyes again disappointed at what she just saw.
"What are you doing here? It's tooooo early Jiraiya." she said.
She desperately wanted to go back to sleep, but she just can't. Hell no she can't, especially with him being there, sat next to her. Imagine the fun he would have with her body lying on the bed. No way she can sleep now.
Tsunade stood up from her bed and walked straight to the bathroom without saying anything. This was what she usually do at seven o'clock in the morning. She's early today. She turned on the tap to fill the bath tub with water. Jiraiya knows about her little habit, waking up in the morning to have a nice relaxing bath before going to work. How? Well, from research, let's just keep it like that.
After about half an hour, Jiraiya got bored of waiting for her, she didn't even say anything during that long thirty minutes. All he can hear was the left over water that was dropping from the tap.
"Hmmm. Tsunade-hime, are you still in there, or have you drowned?" he asked and shortly giggled afterwards.
Tsunade who was in the tub, with closed eyes ignored him, she just can't deal with him at this early in the morning. 'Suits you right for waking me up you idiot' she said to her self the gave a light smile.
"Oh! Come on Tsu-hime. I'm getting bored here. Just hurry and come out! Or at least say something so I can see that you haven't drowned yet." shouted Jiraiya.
Tsunade was still ignoring him. "Okay. Fine, your quietness means you've drowned? I'm coming in to get you out!" he said and started to get up the bed.
"Don't you dare move out of that bed Jiraiya!!" shouted Tsunade, she thought she could ignore him, but he was just too hard to ignore. That pervert!
She heard Jiraiya laughing. "Oh Tsunade, you still don't trust me do ya? How are we gonna go to the Party tomorrow now?"
"Who says I'm going?" she replied and breathed heavily.
"... I did" he said bravely, he knew what the consequence was going to be, many of Tsunade's super punches.
There was no reply for Tsunade for about two long minutes. "Pfft! Tomorrow is the party Jiraiya, you won't get me to come to the party with you.!" she said, Jiraiya could hear her intimidating laugh. He raised an eyebrow and thought, "Okay. Like what I said yesterday - I will get you to come to the party with me." he then replied thinking back on what he said yesterday when he was in her office.
Tsunade who was getting out of the bath just sighed. "You don't know when to control yourself Jiraiya. No, means No" She wrapped a turquoise coloured towel around her soaked body. Stared at her image in the average size mirror above the sink then smiled to herself thinking 'You're so beautiful Tsunade', she laughed to herself. Jiraiya heard her.
"What a weird woman.." he whispered quietly before exiting Tsunade's place, before she comes out of the bathroom and beat the hell out of him.
After her long bath, Tsunade finally came out of the bathroom all dressed up, ready for work.
10:00 AM
It was already a stressing two hours for the Fifth Hokage, shinobis coming in and out, asking for missions or sending in their reports, and 3 new stacks of 'paperworks' or which Tsunade would call it 'Piles of Sh!t', some for signing and some were for careful revision or basically slow reading, which bores her to death.
From all the slow reading that she did which made her eyes slowly closing, she didn't notice that there was a man outside her window, waiting to let in, he can't knock since he was holding 2 cups of coffee? No wait - Cappucino?
She stood up slowly and dragged her feet to the window and let the pervert in. He carefully went in the room, and tried his best not to spill the special drink he brought his Hime today. She went back to her seat and let Jiraiya sit on the seat in front of her, but before sitting down, Jiraiya handed her a cup of cappucino and smiled, "Enjoy."
When Jiraiya was sat down, Tsunade looked inside the cup and thought, 'Cappucino, in Konoha? Where would he get this?'
"Drink up Hime, until it's all warm and delicious." he offered and then took a drink at his cup.
Tsunade took the cup and she did took a drink out of it. And it was delicious, the temperature was perfect, and the sweetness was just right.
She put the cup down after taking 3 drinks out of it, it was already half way. "Tell me, where did you get this?"
"Well, I know that if I bring sake here in your office, you're going to get so done for, so I just decided to make you some of my finest.." he said and laughed.
Tsunade was astonished by what he just said. Him, he made this nice cup of cappucino? It taste like heaven. She knew she doesn't want to say that to him, because that will just make him over confident.
"Okay. So you made this, for what reason may I ask?"
Jiraiya didn't know what to say, he wanted to say that he did that to make her come to the Valentines Party with him, but he doesn't want to tell her that yet, it's too early, he's got more to do before asking that question, again.
"Uh, Well you see Tsunade, I felt really guilty for waking you up early this morning. So uh.. This is my kind of, apology for that." Tsunade glared at him, 'Apology, yeah right.'
"Oh please forgive me." he said begging in a really sarcastic way. Tsunade shook her head, "Go get some acting lessons Jiraiya, geez!"
12:00 PM
She heard a knock coming from her office door, she thought it was going to be Shizune. When she said 'come in', Jiraiya rushed inside and on his hands were two food container. He quickly put it down on Tsunade's desk and then closed the door to her office.
"Oookaayyy...?" Tsunade once again was confused.
"Hey there! It's lunch time!" he said then opened one food contained, which was Tsunade's one and and inside were plain white rice, on top was 3 pieces of Tonkatsu (deep fried pork cutlets) which looked delicious and on the side was 2 pieces of vegetable gyoza.
"Now I'm curious. What are you trying to do? Get me to go to that V-day party with you Jiraiya?" she asked, "Is that what this is for?"
Jiraiya had to think of another reason, "Tsunade, what's wrong with all this? I thought you'd be happy for a lunch like this, after your long day."
"I would be yeah. But tell me Jiraiya! Is this for that date tomorrow that you want me to come?"
"I do want you to come with me, but this is not my way Hime, believe me..." He lied. "So can I stay here and eat with you?"
"Do whatever you want, I need someone to talk to anyway." she said as she picked up the chopsticks at the side wrapped in tissue paper.
"Eat up." Jiraiya said before shoving some food in his mouth, Tsunade did the same.
12:30 PM
"Oookaaay.. Time to go Jiraiya." she said getting back to her work.
"Really? Is that all the time I get from you?" he made a fake sad face, "Thirty minutes more please?"
"Just go, Shizune's gonna come in a minute, you need to go baka.. Go, go!"
Jiraiya stood upready to leave. He faced her, "I'll see you later then, Hime." he said emphasizing the, 'Hime'. She just shook her head and ignored him.
When she saw him left, she smiled. "Sigh, you make me laugh Jiraiya.." she whispered quietly to herself.
2:00 PM
He came back again. But when he peaked in, he saw no one, she wasn't there.
"Hime.. hime, where are you?" he said, but got no reply meaning Tsunade was probably out of her office, most likely in a boring meeting or being lectured by the elders. Yes, she always complain to him about it. 'It's bad timing, darn, why was her meeting had to be now.' he said to himself. He sighed and sat down on the Hokage chair, twisting his body around with the chair.
He took something out of his vest. A red rose. He put it down on the desk and looked for a piece of paper to write on and grabbed a pen from Tsunade's pen holder.
Hey Tsunade-hime,
I just passed by but you're not here. I really wanted to talk to you about something important, like right now, but it would be fine. I'll just tell you some other time. And yeah, about the rose, keep it, again, it's from the young boy selling roses in the streets I hope you like it. You wanna grab dinner with me tonight? A friendly one?
Jiraiya :)
2:30 PM
Tsunade was back in her office after another boring meeting with the elders. God, it's so dreadful! She walked to her dek and sat down on the chair, when she noticed a rose on her desk, it still looked freshly picked. There was also a note in a folded piece of paper, saying her name on it. She picked up the rose carefully and then took the note and read it.
It took her a minute to read it. A smile was showing on her face, not a "When will you learn, Jiraiya" smile, but a proper real smile.. She took a pen out from one of the draws and started writing. She then called out an ANBU to deliver her reply to Jiraiya.
"Yes, just take it Jiraiya please." requested Tsunade.
The ANBU walked to her and took the note that was held out for him, "Yes Hokage-sama" he said politely and took off.
Tsunade was left smiling in her office. "This is going to be an interesting night." she said.
8:00 PM
The silver-haired man walked her back to her place.
"See, I wasn't that perverted was I?" he said, followed by a giggle coming from the blonde.
"You're right. Ok, I have to admit, you weren't such a pervert after all."
"That's a nice comment coming from you Hime." he said as they reached the door to her house. Jiraiya passed Tsunade her green jacket. She replied with a smile.
"I'll see you tomorrow then." she said. She turned to unlock the door to her house. The door clicked, it was sucessfully opened. She turned to face Jiraiya.
"Hmm. Yes, see you," he said, "Hime, happy valentines for tomorrow." he continued. He turned to the gate to go home, when he felt his wrist pulled by non other than Tsunade herself.
"Are you sure you don't want to ask me anything?" she said, which made Jiraiya turned to her again.
"Nah. It's fine realy, i'm not going to force you to go with me." he took his wrist back and scratch his head playfully.
"Just ask me again." she said.
Jiraiya shrugged his shoulders, "Ok. Hime, spend Valentines day with me tomorrow?" he smiled.
There was a long pause. Jiraiya felt really awkward waiting for her answer. She's going to reject his offer anyway, so why did he even bother asking her? Although, why did she want him to ask the question to her? To make her feel good? To hurt him with her rejection? 'Darn! Just say yes or no already!'
"Since you've been really mature today, excluding this morning. Hmm... I'll go." she said and patted his shoudlers before going in her house.
Jiraiya was left speechless outside her house. Did she just accepted the date he offered? Wow!?
"THANKS HIME!" he shouted to her. She heard him shout from her bedroom window, she laughed.
Jiraiya left her place. Skipping on the streets like a total fool he was, but the genious Tsunade agreed to go on a date with him. Total luck.
