Chapter 4

Love Goodbye

The two had moved to further get inside the house and stopped when they are at the sofa. "I've been waiting for this time to come Tsunade." Jiraiya broke the silence of the night's tranquility. Holding her close on the stomach. Tsunade without a word held his wrapped arms and stay for a while on that position feeling him so tender. "Let's have a tea?" Tsunade asked. "I'm okay." Jiraiya refused. Separating from their position to face each other, Jiraiya started to cup her face with his hands. Slowly...closely...their heads meet as one. The night is so still as the moon illuminates. A kiss so warm and gentle. A presence that never felt so close. Hands at the sides slowly moving upward. Resting, touching one's back as their lips part...touch...then part enough so to see one's face. Eyes met one's deepest gazes they have ever made. At the edge is a narrow way to her room. "I wonder if you are in a hurry you could.."

"I'll stay. If that would be fine." Jiraiya interfered.

Tsunade smiled. She took his arms and walked towards the room and entered. "Stay with me until I got to sleep."

"Why don't we.."

Tsunade went to the bathroom, left side of the wall near the door to wash her body and Jiraiya on that room removed his slippers. He already cleansed himself before he set out for his planned journey tonight.

When Tsunade went out the bathroom, she saw Jiraiya's not around, the room was empty. She was a bit anxious as she moved around the room until the door opens and saw Jiraiya.

"Where did you go?"

"Were you scared, I wasn't around for a moment?" Jiraiya teased.

"Hell yeah!"

"You seem very straight to me now, your guards are down Tsunade."

Tsunade wearing a white plain kimono and pants did not answer and rested her body on the bed at the floor located near the right window. Jiraiya walks towards the bed and sat down on Tsunade's left side. She seems serious, thoughts clouded her mind. Thinking about him leaving again. All of the people she once cherished were gone. And then she's just afraid that Jiraiya would meet the same fate for now he already has a quite special place in her heart too.

"I just check on the doors outside." Jiraiya said as he sits.

On an instant, Tsunade rose and punched him on his stomach. It is just a bearable punch.

"Huh! Acting very confident towards me huh!" Tsunade gave her signature look whenever she's annoyed with Jiraiya after she punches him.

Jiraiya had almost fall towards her due to the impact. "Hey that hurts! What's that for?"

"For making me worry, you idiot!" Tsunade glared.

"I'm sorry then hime." Quickly apologizing for the fear that more punches would hit his body.

"Jiraiya, what are you doing? You agreed to stay here with me until I got to sleep."

"Yeah that's why I am here."

"Take a nap then."

"Ahh, sure, I'm so handsome, you can't wait Tsunade. Hahahhahahhaha!"

"You baka!"

Jiraiya quickly lay down his body because knowing Tsunade there are high chances of getting hit.

"I guess this is it. Good night Tsunade."

Tsunade already closed her eyes. Jiraiya cannot believe that they are together at this night, lying side by side with a small distance. He got up to sit on the bed, he removed his jacket and other accessories enough to feel comfortable. He just put down his things to the ground. "I'll stay here for a while until you got to sleep." He uttered then, he returned his back to bed. He glanced over her face and so he adjusted his body moving closer to her face. He gave Tsunade a kiss on her forehead and whispered to her left ear, "Thank you. I love you Tsunade." As he glanced back, he notices that Tsunade's eyes are open. He paused on the position where his lips almost touch Tsunade's nose. "Jiraiya...I love you too." She whispered back directly. Tsunade bring forward her arms, wrapping Jiraiya's neck. His neck lowered when Tsunade's hands were already touching it. Jiraiya touched his nose to Tsunade's. They both smiled. They understood each other. Sweet and inseparable gazes met for a minute. Until Jiraiya touched her nose again now with his lips, moving downward until he pressed her lips with his.

They both started to pour all of their deepest emotions with one another. From the lips down her neck, Jiraiya took charge. He gently move his hand to Tsunade's left hip, tracing her body figure while his other hand is with her shoulder near the neck. He spread his thighs, cornering Tsunade's straight position on the bed. Almost touching her lower part on the stomach with his stomach then as they move, his chest presses hers.

Kissing and hugging one another, Tsunade remove Jiraiya's top. Touching his muscular physique, she blushes. Now sitting on the bed, he let her soft hands run through his chest while holding her hands. They are sitting on a distance so Jiraiya moved closer to her while her hands on his chest and his hands on her back. Slowly they started to kiss again as they almost hug one another. Tsunade parted a bit and she push Jiraiya enough to lay down again in bed. Widening her legs she is now sitting at his stomach. Jiraiya moved backward enough to rest her back on the wall of the bed while Tsunade followed while loosening the grip of her top until he had moved himself closer to Tsunade and put his hands on her back enough to remove her top faster. She then let Jiraiya do it and moved his hands lower and placed it to Jiraiya's pants trying to remove it as well. He then suceeded, revealing her bountiful breast she then removed her own pants and Jiraiya did the same to his pants. She managed to get a blanket from her bed enough to cover her back spreading enough with their two naked bodies. She leans her face forward to his chest and kiss his right nipple and send a mouthful of kisses as she moves upward on his neck. At the same time, his callous hands were running up and down her hips and butt. He then pull her butt for their bodies to be closer. Tsunade is not yet done and she licks the corner of his neck as he place his hands on her back. After the neck, she hungrily kisses his right chest down to his stomach. Jiraiya shivered, his spines were aired with pleasure and he begins to be stimulated. Back to his chest, she stares at it and so she paused. "It was Naruto's..." Jiraiya said. "Ahh, I know." Tsunade answered. "Am I doing fine or..." She added. "You are doing great." Jiraiya interrupted. He moved closer to her and kissed her lips while grabbing her to lie down on the bed. "It's my turn now." Jiraiya said as his nose touches her neck. She then smiled. His head lingers on her big busts, Tsunade notices it and said, "That's only for this night Jiraiya." And she smiles to him and her hands touched his head and Jiraiya went down to her chest. He sent a mouthful of pleasurable kisses on her busts. She pants, he gasps. Without any word, they position themselves to be one at that night. Their body moves up, down as they manage to kiss on their lips and neck as the timing permits. As they were almost satisfied meeting their deepest affections to one another. They broke from the fondness of their physique, his chest pressing hers as they lie down from extreme sensual gratification.
Facing one another, he whispers, "Tsunade, I love you." She kisses him on his lips and says, "I know you do, I love you too Jiraiya." They started to embrace again and kiss one another all over their bodies. Until he stops, "Tsunade, I am really happy tonight being with you. I just want to say that to you."

"Ahh, I also feel the same now." Tsunade answers. They now then rested their bodies covered with the blanket. For minutes, they place themselves...wrapping his arms to her shoulders while her hands on his chest.

"Forgive me, I know I hurted you so much. You know Jiraiya, everytime you set out of Konoha to find your destiny before, I feel sad and worried. I would not again see your for later...for years, I missed you. That is what I think during those days whenever you pursue finding your destiny." She paused and continue as Jiraiya listens to her, "Maybe you are wondering why all of a sudden I am being like this to you which is the exact opposite of my actions before. I love you ever since when you have been there when Nawaki died. I came to fully realized and acknowledged that when Dan died. That is why... during that night, I...I know we promised to each other not to talk about that anymore but I just want you to know that I wouldn't have given myself to you if I do not have anything for you Jiraiya. I know I hurted you when I said I only did that because I missed Dan so much. I'm sorry Jiraiya, I've been scared. I'm not yet ready to enter another relationship. Come to think of it, that night happened after 5 years when Dan died. I know that it would be fine for me to go with you, just to try but I never expected that we are going that far that night when you asked me out and..."

"Tsunade, it's okay, you don't need to.." Jiraiya interrupted.

"Now...I just want to tell you that I really mean those words I said to you. The one that I had said that I also have feelings for you." She continued.

Jiraiya rose and clothed himself back. "Thank you Tsunade. I was wrong too."

Tsunade rose too and tears slip to her eyes. "No, I understand you, You were just searching for your destiny."

She then clothed herself back as Jiraiya looked at her and said. "That was in the past though, we should not wallow about it. We have our present right now and I'm happy about it." Jiraiya smiles. Tsunade sees sincerity through his smile and make her heart feel very happy about it. She smiles too with her utmost respect and genuine happiness.

"Tomorrow is another day that must be accomplished. This is our will of fire Tsunade, to protect our village, the ones we love, our friends." Jiraiya said.

"I know, I am the hokage. The person who must be the strongest to give hope for our people and to give security." Tsunade responded.

As they stand, they could see through themselves that they are ready no matter what would happen to them. Jiraiya walks towards her and said "Tsunade, take care of yourself."

"Ahh yes, you too must double your guards Jiraiya." She said with a firm voice.

Their eyes gazes to one another. Jiraiya pulled Tsunade closer to him and they kiss. A kiss that seems to heal all of their pains, doubts, fears, loneliness and sorrow. A kiss that is full of love.

"As promised, I'll stay until you got to sleep." Jiraiya said as their mouth slowly separates.
Tsunade opened her eyes and looked at him. "I am really grateful to have a friend...a lover like you. Jiraiya, I love you."

Jiraiya stared at her and said, "I love you Tsunade."

She kisses him again and said, "Goodbye Jiraiya. You already said that to me a while ago. As I said, I haven't said my goodbye to you that's why I ran after you... to say goodbye."

Jiraiya just stares at her then said, "If anything happens, the two of us must just go on living. I know we will meet again when the right time comes..."

About one minute passed and he continued talking.
He said, "Will you still be my lover Tsunade when that time comes?"

Tsunade eyes widened. She knows why Jiraiya asks this to her. That is because of Dan. She do not say a word while he stares at him. Looking him in the eyes, she somehow feels pain on that question. But then Tsunade smiles and said, "Jiraiya..from the vey beginning, you are my love, my first love and the one whom I am going to love last."

Jiraiya did not expected much to Tsunade. His eyes widened.

"Maybe you haven't expected that." Tsunade said. He do not say a word. He could not say a word. He did not know what to say as if his head got blanked. Tears swiftly flows out of his eyes. His face is relaxed but his eyes could not stop crying. Tsunade touches his face with his two hands. She did not know what to say. They only look at each other's eyes. Jiraiya slowly moves closer to Tsunade. His arms wrapping her back. He then moves his chest near her as he hold her back. Tsunade gave Jiraiya a hug. It is obvious that Jiraiya had been touched to Tsunade's words. He cannot tell what he is feeling. He just whispered to Tsunade on a shaky voice, "I love you, thank you Tsunade." He is still crying. Tsunade could hear his gasps and she held him tighter, burying herself to him. Jiraiya responded and hold him tighter. Minutes passed and now they release themselves to one another. Jiraiya is okay now.

"I guess it's getting late. You should rest now." Jiraiya said. They walk towards the bed and sat.

"Jiraiya..." Tsunade thinks of inviting him to sleep on her house but she thinks it's not good. He may have something to do. She lie down on her bed as Jiraiya sat near him.

"Tsunade?"

"Nothing."

"Aha! You like my name huh!" Deep inside, Jiraiya knows what Tsunade thinks but instead he decided to cool down there situation.

"Oi!" Tsunade responded cooperately.

"Close your eyes now hime."

And she closes her eyes.

"Sleep tight my love." Jiraiya then kissed her on the lips. He could feel that Tsunade move her lips.

Jiraiya left as Tsunade sleeps soundly.

"Haha, just like the old days. Her sleeping is still noisy. Hahahaha, same Tsunade I know." Jiraiya goes back to his cheerful manner.

I hope we could successfully do our mission so we can be together. He thought on his mind.

These two character acts very indifferently during normal days to what is deep inside on thier hearts. Acting so happy is Jiraiya where deep inside very lonely. Acting so tough is Tsunade where deep inside is fearful. Although, they deeply care for one another when the time calls for it; Both of them are obviously caring for one another.
