Chapter 4. All I keep thinking is poor Jiraiya. Please continue to review. It only takes a second, and it keeps me posting chapters. Believe me I love to write, and I'll keep writing this story even if you don't respond. I just won't post it. I'll send copies of chapters to people that do review. I need 3 reviews before I'll post the next chapter, which should be ready shortly.

A big THANKS to the people that have reviewed. ^_^

A/N: I don't own Naruto or the song I'd Come For You.

Jiraiya stood and headed over to the MC's table again, his turn was fast approaching and Tsunade still had not emerged from the bathroom. So once he made it to the table he turned and stared until he saw the doorway darken with her outline. He breathed a sigh of relief.

Tsunade came out of the bathroom and looked around. She didn't see him at the bar where she had left him. He is beginning to become annoying with the disappearing act. She thought. Eventually her eyes did make their way over to where he was standing, and she smiled at him and waved a little.

Jiraiya relaxed visibly when he saw her smile and her little wave. It gave him the confidence that he needed to do this. To sing and make his confession out loud. Clapping started for the person on stage and the mic was transferred to Jiraiya. He took a deep breath and walked up into the spot light, the music began and he gave it all he had.

Just one more moment,
That's all that's needed,
Like wounded soldiers,
In need of healing
Time to be honest
This time I'm bleeding
Please don't dwell on it
'Cause I didn't mean it

I can't believe I said I'd lay our love on the ground,
But it doesn't matter 'cause I made it up forgive me now
Everyday I spent away my souls inside out
Gotta be some way that I can make it up to you now, somehow
By now you know that,

I'd come for you,
No one but you,
Yes I'd come for you,
But only if you told me too,
And I'd fight for you,
I'd lie its true,
Give my life for you,
You know I'd always come for you

As Jiraiya waited for the instrumental to end, he watched Tsunade. She wasn't looking at him or anything. She had her eyes closed and her head down. He was torn about what to do, but started to sing again.

I was blindfolded
But now I'm seeing
My mind was closing
Now I'm believing
I finally now just what it means to let someone in
To see the side of me that no one does or ever will
So if your ever lost and find yourself all alone
I'd search forever just to bring you home
Here and now, this I vow
By now you know that,

I'd come for you,
No one but you,
Yes I'd come for you,
But only if you told me too,
And I'd fight for you,
I'd lie its true,
Give my life for you,
You know I'd always come for you,
You know I'd always come for you

No matter what gets in my way,
As long as there's still life in me,
No matter what remember you know I'd always come for you
Yes I'd come for you,
No one but you,
Yes I'd come for you,
But only if you told me too,

And I'd fight for you,
I'd lie its true,
Give my life for you,
You know I'd always come for you,
No matter what gets in my way,
As long as there's still life in me,
No matter what remember you know I'd always come for you,
I'd crawl across this world for you,
Do anything you want me to,
No matter what remember you know I'd always come for you,
You know I'd always come for you

Tsunade had sat through the whole song with her head down and her eyes closed trying to hear the words. She wanted to make sure that she understood completely what he was trying to tell her. When the song ended and she heard the clapping, she opened her eyes and looked up. Her eyes were red, but it wasn't because of the smoke in the room. Tears threatened to fall, but she held them in check.

Jiraiya not understanding what was going on with the blonde went to her straight away after relinquishing the mic to the next singer. He stood in front of her and she threw her arms around his middle and squeezed.

After holding him for a moment she wiped away her tears and looked up to his face with a smile.

"You're too good for me." She wiped a rogue tear that had escaped the first time. "You really are."
Putting his arms around her shoulders he squeezed her back. I've got her! She really is mine now. He leaned down and kissed the top of her head. Tsunade was holding him of her own will. It was thrilling to him.

"We can go if you want, or we can stay and just enjoy the atmosphere." He laughed.

She rubbed his back a bit before pulling away, but resting her hands around his waist.

"I think that I could go some more sake." Tsunade giggled. Jiraiya laughed heartily.

"Are you sure Hime? We've done a lot of damage on the town's supply of it." He continued to smile at her.

"Aww. Well I guess I have some back at my apartment."

"Let's head there. Its quieter." He hugged her and walked out of the bar with her.

They walked in silence for the most part down the streets back to Tsunade's apartment.

"You know…"

"Know what Ji-kun?"

"I seriously thought that you were going to sneak out of the bathroom window."

Tsunade stopped in her tracks.

"You're kidding me, right?" Tsunade asked incredulously.

Guiltily Jiraiya shook his head. He walked back to her. "I'm glad that I was wrong. More than you can imagine."

"Well I have to admit that I was and still am feeling a bit skittish. This is going to feel weird to me for a while, even if it is the best thing that ever happened to you or to me. Love me gently; let me get used to it. You've always been my friend. My biggest reason from holding you at arms length is I don't want to loose you." She paused, "Ever."

"Whatever it takes Hime," Jiraiya gazed into her eyes and brushed the hair that had strayed into her vision. "Let's get going though; we can talk more back at your apartment. I can hear the sake calling."

They slipped back into walking, and the stars twinkled over head.

Well I hoped that you enjoyed this chapter. The next one is close to completion and has a bit more to it. If you liked it or not take a second and let me know. Thanks! ^_^
