The damage was severe. Shizune wondered how it was possible that her master's heart still beat. She wondered what it was inside Tsunade that was so impossibly determined to keep her alive. Whatever it was she could only be grateful.

Shizune remembered what happened that day. Tsunade had protected her. Tsunade had placed herself between Shizune and death, determined this time not to die but rather to ensure that Shizune live.

As Tsunade collapsed, Shizune had feared it was already the end. The cuts Tsunade had received had been deeper and harder than any she herself had suffered. Blood was everywhere. She remembered the pain in her heart, the flow of the tears.

Despite the intense suffering of her own injuries, Shizune had at that moment went to her mentor's side, and with a mad desire to save the one she held dearest to her, she began to perform healing techniques on the other woman.

She was weak to the point of fainting herself, she had lost so much blood, yet still Shizune struggled desperately to seal Tsunade's wounds, to soothe the pain, to stop the bleeding, to somehow maybe allow her beloved master to live through this. Before she even knew it, Shizune had went well past her limits, every ounce of chakra she had had remaining was gone into healing Tsunade. She collapsed, broken and empty, believing she had failed, beside the one she loved.

When Shizune awoke, she found herself alone in a strange bed in a small, cozy room. She was soon greeted by an old man who identified himself as the village doctor, he told her that people from the village had found her collapsed and injured on the outskirts of town and had brought her back to his clinic for medical treatment.

Shizune didn't really listen to the story he told. She didn't care. As soon as the old man had stopped talking she demanded to know where Tsunade was. The doctor told her that two women had been found along with her that day. One had already been dead. The other lay in the room next door, barely clinging to life. He doubted it was in his power to save her.

Without warning Shizune had gotten to her feet. She realized as she walked that her now bandaged wounds still were source to excruciating levels of pain. She could feel some of the deeper cuts begin to bleed again as she found the door. She failed to even acknowledge the doctor's incessant cries for her to return to her bed.

A great weight lifted from Shizune's shoulders as she opened the door to the other room. The figure lying there was practically covered from head to toe in bandages, yet it's blonde hair and well shaped figure made it immediately recognizable as Tsunade.

Immediately Shizune rushed to the side of Tsunade's bed. She quickly peeled back some of the bandages and began to administer a healing jutsu to the still inflamed cuts. The doctor was soon behind her again yelling about how such activity would surely serve to worsen her own condition. The doctor didn't know that at that moment, only one thing in the world mattered to Shizune and it certainly wasn't her own health.

Shizune spent that day treating Tsunade's wounds until she once more passed out. The next day much the same happened. A week passed, every day she devoted to restoring her sensei's strength.

Thanks to the doctor's efforts that week Shizune's own wounds were now something of the past. He now encouraged her to go to her friend's side. Under Shizune's care Tsunade's condition had improved greatly, her wounds were now just fading scars, her heart rate and her breathing had stabilized. The old doctor, who had undoubtedly been impressed by the abilities of the young medical student, was now under the impression that Tsunade would awaken to a full recovery any day now.

Now Shizune smiled as she looked at the woman lying there before her eyes. The bandages had been removed; Tsunade looked like she was just peacefully sleeping now, she was beautiful. It caused Shizune such pain to think that such beauty was this close to having been ripped from her forever.

She got closer, she kneeled at the edge of the bed examining the one she treasured so much. She let her hand travel gently across Tsunade's face, embracing the soft warmth she felt there.

Then Tsunade's eyes twitched, her head sunk slowly as they began to open just slightly, her mouth opened and spoke in a barely audible whisper as she struggled to take in the figure hovering before her, "Dan...?"

"No, sensei, it's me." Shizune replied lovingly. She continued to gently stroke Tsunade's face, as if hoping it would help the woman regain her senses.

"Shizune?" Tsunade said softly as her eyes finally seemed to widen and focus. She gave a light laugh before adding while her lips formed a smile, "So I'm not dead then?"

"Of course not, sensei. I saved you..." Shizune choked out as tears of joy began to well from her eyes.

"Shizune.." The older woman whispered softly, her own eyes beginning to water slightly.

Shizune wiped at the tears trickling from her eyes in an attempt to calm herself but the flow refused to stop. In a vulnerable plea, she asked, "Why did you do that? Why did you go and get yourself hurt like that?"

Tsunade's eyes found Shizune's. The sanin slowly brought her hand to her apprentice's cheek and said in a voice that seemed to Shizune unapologetic yet amazingly fulfilling at the same time, "I couldn't allow myself to let someone I love die for a third time."

Shizune gulped. She realized her heart was racing. She didn't know what to say to Tsunade. It had always pained her to think Tsunade was willing to give up her life for her uncle's sake, but now Tsunade had been willing to give up her life for her sake. It was overwhelming.

'Tsunade-sensei..." Shizune said in a meek fashion with a soft smile as she finally managed to bring a halt to her crying.

"Have your own wounds healed, Shizune?"Tsunade said sounding genuinely concerned.

Shizune's smile widened, in a warm way she replied, "Yes, it's been a week since the fight, and the doctor here was able to fully treat my wounds while I was asleep."

"Really? I was out for a whole week?" Tsunade gave a short laugh that covered up her surprise. After digesting the rest of Shizune's statement she added in slight confusion, "Why were you only being treated while you slept?"

"Because I spent every moment I was awake treating you sensei." Shizune answered giving a soft blush.

"You did what?" Tsunade asked taken aback by the lengths her student was claiming to have gone for her.

"The doctor said you were hanging on by a thread, that you were beyond saving, but I spent every moment I could with you, I tried everything you taught me. I just couldn't let you die, sensei." Shizune explained in a frantic manner as she recalled the drive she felt every day that week.

"What an amazing student I have." Tsunade spoke lightly but proudly. The sanin then sat up in her bed and made a motion of her hand as she made a offer to Shizune who was still kneeling before her, "Care to sit down?"

Shizune nodded and took up a seat next to her master on the edge of the bed. The student began to study her teacher's form; this same woman who only days ago had been breaths away from death, now seemed to be her self once again. Shizune smiled.

"Are you staring at me Shizune?"Tsunade gave a devious smirk.

"What?! Why on earth would I?" Shizune said loudly, clearly embarrassed.

"I'm not wearing much clothing..." Tsunade sighed as she examined herself. She wore noting but a undersized ordinary t-shirt that barely managed to cover her breasts and a pair of plain cotton panties.

Shizune turned around completely in hopes of hiding the intense blush ingrained on her cheeks. Frantically she tried to defend herself, "W-why should I care? I mean it was me who dressed you in the first place after I took the bandages off."

"Oh so you picked this out, Shizune?" Tsunade teased.

"This is a small clinic. Your old clothes got ripped to pieces in that fight, and the doctor didn't have much lying around. This was about all I could find." Shizune exclaimed indignantly, her face still red.

"I see. So what did you think when you took off all my bandages? Isn't it great how I keep my body so young and beautiful?" Tsunade had a seductive quality to her voice that made Shizune for some reason become really nervous.

"Y-You're very beautiful, sensei, but I don't see why were talking about this..." Shizune forced out, letting her discomfort show as she turned to finally face her sensei.

Tsunade smiled. Shizune gave a faint nod. Neither girl spoke for several moments. Shizune wanted to speak, the silence was becoming awkward. She tried to keep her eyes from wandering, to keep them fully focused on Tsunade's face, but even that was becoming hard as Tsunade's caught her stare and returned it.

It was Tsunade who finally broke the silence. Her voice made Shizune's heart skip a beat, "How do I make you feel, Shizune?"

"Sensei, w-what do, do you mean...?" Shizune spoke shyly, helplessly.

"Right now, when you were staring into my eyes, what were you feeling?" Tsunade clarified in a cool tone.

Shizune couldn't believe that the words came out, but they did. Sweetly she answered, "I was happy. Happy to see you so alive again. Happy that you were still there for me. But I was nervous. My heart was racing, my mind was fogged. I didn't know what to do or say, all I could do was just stare."

Tsunade smiled as she brought a hand to Shizune's cheek, moving her own head so that it was only inches from Shizune's. She asked in a simple way, "And as a full-fledged medical ninja how would you diagnose those symptoms."

"Love." Shizune said softly but surely. She could feel Tsunade's breath on her skin, their eyes were interlocked, Tsunade' warm hand was stroking her cheek tenderly.

Then Tsunade kissed her. It wasn't sudden, it shouldn't have surprised Shizune. Tsunade's lips were warm, her eyes never lost their focus. Shizune's heart was melting. She couldn't do anything. She didn't want to do anything. It was as if she was no longer in control. She felt her mouth press back against Tsunade's with equal levels of tender pressure. Then Tsunade let the kiss break, leaving Shizune with a blush and a wanting expression on her face.

After a couple seconds of recovery, Shizune seemed to recover her composure. She made a motion to stand up and run from the bed but Tsunade grabbed her at the wrist and pulled her back down.

Confused, nervous and uncertain, the young medical ninja panted as she let out a string of broken arguments, "W-why did you...? I-I, I didn't, we can't, it isn't this kind of l-love." She took a breath before continuing in a forced stern tone, "Don't you see that it is inappropriate behavior for a woman of your standing to engage in such indecent acts with underage girls?"

Tsunade pulled Shizune in closer, taking the young girl into a soft embrace, Shizune's head coming to rest atop her breast which felt as a divinely warm and soft pillow to the girl. Tsunade's warm voice then reached Shizune's ears, "Is that really how you feel Shizune?"

It was impossible for Shizune to flee Tsunade's warmth. How could she continue to fight this. Her head had always convinced her it was wrong for her to want to be with Tsunade, but now her heart was demanding it more than anything. She began to ask herself if she was even worthy to be with someone like Tsunade.

Shizune spoke reservedly, scared of her own feelings, but now maybe at least able to admit them, "But, sensei, you can't actually want this from me?"

"What makes you say that, Shizune?" Tsunade smiled as she held the girl tightly.

"You were in love with my uncle..." Shizune choked out fragilely.

"True, it is different than what I'm used to. But I love you so much, I'll just have to get used to it." Tsunade stroked several fingers through Shizune's hair as she spoke in a tender voice. She added firmly, "I doubt it would matter in the end that you're a girl."

"That wasn't what I mean, sensei." Shizune said as she pulled herself from her mentor's warmth to meet her with a serious expression.

"I love Dan. But he's dead Shizune. I can't ever see him again. You're the one who told me that." Tsunade seemed oddly vulnerable as she spoke. She closed her eyes as she continued in a dream-like tone, "You are the one who is here for me now."

"I love you, Tsunade." Shizune said suddenly as if she was suddenly devoid of doubt. Then before Tsunade's eyes had reopened, Shizune had pressed her lips once more to Tsunade's.

When Tsunade's eyes opened there was no surprise, only love. Tsunade put her arms around the other, holding Shizune tight to her. Soon the young girl was atop her, the kiss began to grow passionate as Shizune nervously had allowed her tongue to slip from her mouth to taste Tsunade's lips. The older woman moved her own tongue forward to meet Shizune's.

The kiss immediately ignited into something incontrollable. Shizune was ravaging her sensei's mouth, virtually bathing in the warmth of Tsunade's tongue as it clashed with her, while she felt the saliva pool in her throat and begin to spill out across Tsunade's cheek.

The intensity was amazing. Soon the action was no longer limited to either girl's mouth as Shizune flailed her tongue against her mentor's in the open. She failed to even realize that her hands had slipped under Tsunade's shirt and had begun to vigorously knead the soft flesh there.

The kiss ended with both girls lightheaded and panting for air, the are around either of their mouths was coated in a wet mixture of their saliva. Shizune fought to recover her senses, when she was successful she looked down and was surprised to see her hands groping hard at Tsunade's now exposed chest, which had been freed from the tiny t-shirt. Tsunade's beautiful pink nipples stood on end under Shizune's touch.

"I'm sorry." Shizune said ashamed of herself as she pulled her hands away from the miraculously shaped orbs of soft flesh.

"Why are you apologizing? I like being touched there." Tsunade replied clearly disappointed.

"It's just, we, we shouldn't go too far." Shizune explained with a sigh, knowing it was stupid to try and be reasonable at a time like this.

"I thought you wanted to have sex with me." Tsunade pouted.

"Of course I do. Just not here. What if someone comes, what if the doctor comes to check up on us?" Shizune explained herself in hopes of comforting the other.

Tsunade turned to face the only window in the room, she said dismissively, "It's pretty dark out. I doubt we'll be disrupted." She turned back to Shizune before adding in a sensual way while squeezing her breasts together, "Even if someone sees us I don't care. I want you right now, regardless."

Shizune smiled at her defeat, knowing that she no longer had any further excuses to try and resist. Now she was free to give in to her desires. Shyly she let her hand travel back to it's place at Tsunade's bust where it continued it's earlier endeavor.

"Use your mouth." Tsunade suggested in a naughty voice as she sat further up and raised her arms, finally completely removing her shirt.

Shizune, with lust in her eyes, obliged immediately, joining her mouth to Tsunade's nipple as if it was a magnet. The young girl suckled at the woman's chest like a baby, love deep in her heart. Shizune felt as Tsunade's hand came to rest on her head pressing her to the pillowy flesh; she began to encircle the first hard pink nub with her tongue as she brought her hand to the other breast and began to squeeze the other between two fingers.

Tsunade moaned in delight as Shizune continued her task lovingly. Once Shizune felt she had satisfactorily pleasured one of Tsunade's succulent breasts she switched her mouth's attention to the other, giving more than equal time to that as well, elated at the pleasure she was giving Tsunade.

Shizune pulled away to look into Tsunade's eyes. She asked softly, her own eyes acting as windows to the devotion in her soul, "Did that feel good, sensei?"

"Yes, Shizune. Do you want see how it feels?" Tsunade blushed a bright red as she looked up at her young student.

Shizune gave a meek nod as she got to her knees. Slowly she removed tattered and worn robe she was wearing and then the shirt she wore beneath it. She didn't stop there though, piece by piece Shizune removed everything else, until she lie completely naked before her lover's eyes.

"Beautiful..." Tsunade cooed. Then slowly she moved forward to take up her own suckle at Shizune's breast.

Shizune knew her own breasts paled in comparison to those of her beloved, but she was still proud of them. They were well-shaped, soft round, and were above average in size. She hoped Tsunade liked them

Shizune felt her teacher's lips lovingly encircle her very erect left nipple, while the woman's hand found its path to treat the right. It felt incredible, the subtle warm sensation of touch against these exceedingly sensitive fibers of her skin. She could hear the soft but incessant moans that began to escape from her lips

Tsunade pulled her mouth from its suck, leaving a line of saliva between her tongue and the pink nub. "You have such a wonderful body, Shizune." Tsunade spoke in a light but sexy way before moving her lips to the right nipple.

Shizune was happy that the one she loved thought her to be beautiful, it was really soothing, as was the feel of Tsunade's tongue sharp against her breast and the soft suction of her mouth. She was moaning hotly; she let out a soft cry, "It feels so good..."

Tsunade removed herself once more at this. She moved to look once more into Shizune's eyes as she said with a muted laugh, "You're so cute."

Shizune then felt as Tsunade let out her tongue and licked desperately at the length of Shizune's mouth. The young girl released her own tongue to clash with the other lustfully in open air. Then Tsunade had drawn Shizune into a tight embrace.

Shizune felt as Tsunade's ample chest pushed hard against her own. Her mentor was now completely on top of her; Shizune could feel Tsunade's excited nipples rubbing tightly against her own in between the collective mass of soft flesh, while they continued to vigorously tongue kiss one another.

Then their legs entangled. Shizune's leg found its way between Tsunade's and began to rub forcefully against the soft cotton that still contained the older woman's more intimate bits. A look of excitement in her eyes, Tsunade moved her own leg into place between Shizune's, slowly inching it up till it was against Shizune's bare sex.

Tsunade's eyes widened in surprise as she pulled her tongue back into her mouth. She smirked hotly as she said in excitement as she felt the great moisture against her leg, "I didn't know a girl as young as you could produce so much liquid."

Shizune's face blushed but she wasn't embarrassed, she was beyond that. She knew what she wanted and she wouldn't allow herself to be embarrassed by it. She straddled her self several lengths up the bed and proceeded to spread her legs wide so that the details of her sex were clear and visible to Tsunade. Playfully she said, "Do you want to see how much more you could make me produce?"

Tsunade smiled; it was hard to tell if she was proud or just unbelievably excited. With little more wait Tsunade moved to place herself between Shizune's legs. Shizune felt herself kick in reflex as the length of Tsunade's tongue found it's way deep inside her tight, sensitive slit.

It was breathtaking; Shizune never had imagined anything could feel so wonderful. Tsunade's warm, soft tongue was moving hotly, sharply against every sensitive fiber of her excited, fluid spilling sex. Tsunade's warm breath, the deep thrusts of tongue at her insides, the soft but quick licks at her clit, every sensation, all at once it was maddening.

Shizune was now blind to everything besides the overwhelming pleasure she was feeling, yet she knew she must be screaming out in shear ecstasy, unable to control herself. Shizune felt as he muscles tightened and a soft electric pleasure pulsed through her every nerve. She gave several hard breaths as she felt her juices well and release in a burst of incredible feeling.

After several moments of spasm-like movements and hard-placed breaths Shizune sat herself up. The young girl closed her legs back together as Tsunade found her way back to Shizune's lips, joining her mouth, now glistening with Shizune's fluid, to that of the young girl.

They kissed for several moments, Shizune getting the opportunity to taste her own nectar on Tsunade's lips. The older woman withdrew to say in a deep loving tone, "You are an amazing girl, Shizune."

"I want to do that to you, sensei." Shizune said, finding it difficult to speak.

Tsunade gave another satisfied smile as she eased off her now saturated undergarment. Slowly she spread her legs wide, placing a hand between them so as to open her slit with two fingers for her student's view.

Shizune felt her mouth water as she stared into her beloved master's sexual core. "Beautiful..." she cooed lustfully as she slowly motioned forward as if entranced by the shiny pink of the sex organ.

Shizune's heart was racing as her tongue entered Tsunade for the first time. Her own taste mixed with Tsunade's saliva had been, but that was far exceeded by Tsunade's taste. Tsunade's sex was subtle yet delicious in taste, and the way her insides felt against Shizune's tongue was amazing. The young girl loved the sounds most of all though, the sounds of her tongue clicking against the soft wet flesh, the sounds of Tsunade's intense pleasured cries, everything she heard just made Shizune want to increase her effort.

She let out some licks at Tsunade's now swollen clit and watched as the woman gave a high moan in pleasure as she buckled in reflex. Curiously Shizune moved a hand to the tiny nub and began to rub it gently, watching Tsunade become continually more excited.

The touch of Tsunade's wet sex was even more pleasant on Shizune's fingers, and slowly she found her fingers trace downward until they were at Tsunade's opening. The girl watched as two fingers disappeared inside the older woman's sex. It was so warm inside, and moist, and the flesh there was so soft as it seemed to encircled and overwhelm the fingers.

Shizune began to pulse her fingers inside the other and watched as Tsunade began to moan hotly. Slowly Shizune moved herself a length upward along Tsunade till her head was once more at the woman's breast.

Shizune was suckling at the woman's nipple once more as she continued to penetrate Tsunade with her fingers. She let her tongue travel rapidly across Tsunade's nipple as she let a third finger slip deep inside the sanin. Shizune listened as the older woman moaned in bliss, and felt as Tsunade's insides seemed to tense around her fingers.

Each new movement of Shizune's fingers, seemed to build the intensity in Tsunade's movements and cries. Soon Tsunade gave several shudders and hard moans, and Shizune felt a pool of fluid buildup around her fingers and knew her sensei had just seen her own magnificent release. She slowly removed her hand from Tsunade's sex and her lips from the woman's chest, proceeding to lick her fingers clean.

The two women straddled each other on the bed and began to kiss passionately once more. The comfort and fulfillment Shizune felt then was amazing. She loved Tsunade more than anything.

Tsunade withdrew. With a vulnerable tone a tear in her eye she spoke, "I'm sorry Shizune."

"Why are you apologizing, master?" Shizune asked surprised at the sanin's words.

"I should have realized it sooner. All this time, I never knew how much I meant to you, or how much you could mean to me. I never should have ever thought about giving up." Tsunade sounded somehow broken now, the usually strong woman was showing tears the level of which Shizune hadn't see since when they left the village.

"As I see it, you picked a good time to realize things, any earlier and I really would have been too young." Shizune said, clearly still incapable of completely rational thought.

"Silly girl. That's not what I meant." Tsunade gave a hard laugh that seemed to make her recover composure.

"I'm glad were able to be together like this, Master." Shizune cooed lovingly.

"Me too. It's refreshing to finally have a use for you." Tsunade said lightly with a devious laugh.

"What do you mean a use for me?" Shizune replied slightly taken aback.

"Well, you don't drink and you don't gamble. Now at least there's something fun you and I can do together." Tsunade said smiling widely.

Shizune glared at her, before saying in a stern indignant tone, "And I suppose I now have some control over you."

"You can't mean..." Tsunade started in a fearful tone.

"That's right. If you get too out of control. I'll just have to cut you off." Shizune gave her own devilish laugh as watched the look of horror on her lover's face.

"You're evil, you know that." Tsunade said, pouting. Both women began to laugh for a moment.

Once the laughter quelled, Tsunade spoke once more, this time with melancholy in her voice. "Promise you'll stay with me, Shizune."

"Of course I will. I love you more than anything. I swear I'll serve you, I'll stay right at your side until the day one of us dies. I'll love you forever, Tsunade." Shizune said at once as if she was repeating herself and this had all already been said.

"I'm happy." Tsunade said simply, offering a warm smile.

A/N: Oh my god this chapter is fucking long. I don't know what I was thinking. I hope it's good. Pretty much the whole thing is just Shizune and Tsunade talking and then having sex. I have no idea why it turned out to be so damn long. Anyway, I'm fairly satisfied with this chapter. I tried hard to make it good. This is pretty much the end of this fic. There will be an excessively pointless epilogue chapter next week, but that won't be worth much.

Anyways you might be wondering what I'm doing next. As it is, I receive innumerable requests from my readers. I like to listen to the people who are reading my work., but I've always been one to shoot anyone down at once for asking me to write a sequel. However, I'm beginning to think that all these people who are asking what happens next who want to see my stories be continued should maybe get their wish. As such, I was thinking I would give sequel writing a try.

However, even knowing I want to do a sequel, I have no idea which story to do one for. So why don't you tell me. I've selected six stories I think I could do a good sequel for, tell me which ones deserve it.
