Disclaimer: Don't own Naruto.

A/N: Ok this is a little sappy. But I hope you like it. Sorry I haven't updated in so LONG. But I kept falling asleep doing H.W. because of safety patrol (Don't ask) and I had to get up early and blah blah blah. Well here is chapter 4. Oh and I decided to save some stuff for the next chapter so this chapter will now be called 'A wonderful ball.'


The next night Sakura went over to the Hokage tower to get ready for the ball.

"Why do we have to be the cursed ones?" Tsunade asked as she was changing behind a screen.

"I don't know but maybe it's because we are so mean to them." Sakura stated as she put on her make up.

Tsunade came out from the screen wearing an emerald gown. Her hair was down and she had emerald earrings on. She walked over to the mirror where Sakura was putting on her make up and grabbed her own make up.

"I don't think it would matter if we spoiled them. I think we're just plain cursed." Tsunade stated putting on some eye shadow.

"Well whatever, we are stuck with them and there is nothing we can do. If we're lucky they'll let us leave early." Sakura said putting a clip in her hair instead of her forehead protector.

Sakura and Tsunade looked at each other and said in unison, "Nope."

Sakura got up to check her dress in a full length mirror. She was wearing a pink gown with her hair back with hair clips. She had light blush on; some very light pink eye shadow and some ruby red lipstick. She also had like pink earrings on.

Tsunade put on her light green eye shadow, light blush and lip stick.

"Well I guess this is the last date, but if they make another date, let's kick their asses while we can." Tsunade suggested.

"That sounds good to me." Sakura agreed.

"You two are a little to mean about this. I mean it's just one more date." Shizune said. She had just been sitting there listening to them complain.

"Shizune, they black mailed and bribed us! Don't tell us it's nothing." Tsunade said.

"Yeah, if we agreed on our freewill then tell us to calm down, but those bastards got dates the dirty way!" Sakura stated.

There was a sudden knock at the door. Shizune got up to get it. Jiraiya and Naruto were right there grinning and holding out flowers.

"HI SAKURA-CHAN!!!"

"Hello Tsu-chan!"

Jiraiya and Naruto said in unison.

"Oh great, their here." Sakura said dully.

"Well we felt kinda bad for what we did to get these dates." Jiraiya stated.

"So you're going to let us go?" Tsunade asked hopefully.

"No, but we did get you two these." Naruto said.

He and Jiraiya revealed two necklaces. One was a pink cherry Blossom and the other was an emerald. There were small diamonds around it and the girls were both flattered and shocked!

"You two… got us these?" Sakura asked surprised.

"Yup, just for you." Naruto replied.

"Oh thank you." Sakura said as Jiraiya and Naruto put the necklaces on the two girls.

"Wow it's… lovely." Tsunade said.

"Yeah, we were hoping that you two would like it!" Jiraiya stated.

"Well we do." Sakura said while giving Naruto a hug.

"Well let's go, shall we?" Jiraiya held out his arm to Tsunade. She sighed and took it and Naruto and Sakura did the same.

They all walk to the ball. They stop at the guard who checks their names off. They walk in and find Tayato.

"Hey Jiraiya. Whoa Tsunade, you look WOW! Well better than you looked when we were younger." Tayato said as he gave Tsunade's hand a kiss.

"And you're still a jerk." Tsunade said as she twisted his wrist. "Oh and do that again and I'll twist your whole arm."

Tayato pulled his arm away quick and smiled. Then a small boy walked and stood by him. "Oh this is my son Toroko." Tayato said.

"Hi nice to meet you Tayato." Sakura said nicely lending out her hand for a hand shake.

"Hello there and may I know your name. I bet it's beautiful." He said copying his father and kissing her hand.

She gave him a quick glare. "It's Sakura." She said pretending to smile. Then she squeezed his hand as hard as she could. "Oh and by the way, I don't like guys doing that." She glared at him and squeezed his hand hard.

He pulled his hand away as fast as he could and rubs it 'because it hurts.

After that Jiraiya and Tsunade and Naruto and Sakura split up. Naruto and Sakura end up dancing while Jiraiya and Tsunade just stand in a corner drinking.

"I'm really sorry Sakura-chan." Naruto said as he saw Sakura was still upset about the blackmail.

"Sure you are." Sakura said rolling her eyes.

"I never meant to use that against you, but I guess I got pretty desperate. I understand if you want to leave now." Naruto said stopping their dance.

"W-what, you mean I can leave. But are you going to tell Sai?"

"Of course not Sakura-chan. I was never going to tell him. I would never want to hurt or betray you like that! I was just, you know teasing you."

Naruto walked away a little guilty. He went to the balcony with Sakura following him.

"So you wouldn't have EVER told?" Sakura asked.

"Nope, I care about you too much to do that." Naruto replied.

"Do you care about me that much?"

"Well actually I… I love you Sakura."

Sakura smiled the moon was started to shine brighter. Sakura's eyes softened and she made eye contact to Naruto.

"Do you really love me?" Sakura asked moving in closer.

Naruto noticed and smiled. Then he said, "Yeah, I really do."

"Naruto, I think… I know… I-I-I love you too." Sakura said.

They moved closer and closer.

"Really?" Naruto asked.

"Of course." Sakura said.

They got closer and closer until they were in a lip lock. They stayed like that for a few seconds or a minute. But every second was treasured. It was a very passionate kiss.

--

Jiraiya and Tsunade were still standing in the corner. They stood in silence. Tsunade could really hold a grudge and right now she was.

"Tsunade I said I was sorry." Jiraiya said apologizing for the 10th time that night.

"I don't give a shit. You are totally taking advantage of my debt." Tsunade replied.

"Tsunade, I was really desperate to get a date with you. You know I would never use that against you."

"Yeah right, save it for someone who is stupid enough to believe it."

"I mean it Tsunade. I mean I really like, I mean love you. I would never do that!"

"Sure you love me Jiraiya. You my body and curves but not me!"

"Look I understand why you're upset and I understand if you leave. I promise the debt is long forgotten. I don't deserve this date anyway. But I mean it when I said that I love you."

Jiraiya walked away to get a drink thinking Tsunade was going to leave.

"Wait, you really love me? No way. I mean you're Jiraiya. You'd never settle down. And are you sure about the debt thing?" Tsunade asked in disbelief.

"Yes I mean it. The debt is gone and I love you! And I would settle down if a certain lady would give my love a chance." He stated.

"Why would you love a, and I quote 'Nasty Old Grumpy Hag'?"

"That's just teasing Tsunade. I don't really feel that way about you. I think you are amazing, smart, strong and damn good looking!"

"R-really?"

"Yeah, I mean who wouldn't?"

"No one's ever said that to me before."

"Well maybe their just stupid.

Tsunade smiled at the thought that Jiraiya really had true feelings for her. She grabbed his hand and pulled him playfully. "Why don't we dance?" She suggested.

They walked to the center of the dance floor and started to dance. Jiraiya's arms around her waist. Tsunade's arms around his neck. Her head on his chest. They danced slowly and noticed the moon in the window. Then they turned to each other. They looked deep into each other's eyes. Moved in closer and closer.

"Jiraiya… I love you." Tsunade confessed as they began to kiss.

It was a long and very passionate kiss. It felt like it lasted forever even though it only lasted one minute. The two continued to dance under the moon light from the window.
