Chapter 7
I found a very special love in you
The weeks passed painfully slow for Tsunade, it has now been 3 months after Dan's death. And to Jiraiya's relief, Tsunade had been keeping her thoughts of leaving behind now. Well that's what he thinks, for all he knows, Tsunade might just be looking for the perfect timing. Possibly when he's out of town doing a long mission, which would give her a lot of time to do her escapade. With that thought in his mind, he just can't leave the village, only to be back and find out that she's gone.
So since then he had been keeping his eyes on Tsunade, she had lower her drinking and gambling by a little. But it still wasn't goo enough. Jiraiya wants to see the real Tsunade back.
He couldn't care less if that one was a pain in the ass, that ass-kicking woman was the reason he's doing all this.

Tsunade looked out of her bedroom window. The night had just started, a few stars can be seen in the night sky. She wondered while she was looking up if her love could see her from up there. She still felt guilty of what happened. Really guilty to be precise.
Will this guilt ever go away? She doubted i, she knew it would stay with her for the rest of her life.

"Master Jiraiya." Jiraiya turned around to see his student Minato Namikaze was behind him. He was always too curious for his age of 11.
"Oh! Minato, what are you doing here? Aren't you suppose to be home by now?"Jiraiya asked, now with a wide fake grin across his face, and Minato grinned back.
"No, not really. So how about you Sensei, what are you up to?" Indeed he was too curious. It's not his god damn business whatever Jiraiya does with his life after training sessions, but Jiraiya still felt the need to confess anyway.
"Alright, alright. You got me..I'm off to drink my head of."
Minato shook his head at the thought. Sometimes he feels that he's more mature than his teacher, and this was one of those times. They sat down on a nearby bench.
""all this for a girl huh?" the blond boy questioned. Jiraiya looked at him with his serious eyes. That was hardly seen by anyone since he's not a serious type of guy, he's more like the complete opposite. But he sure can be serious when he wants to.
"I guess. But how did you know?"
"Oh c'mon Sensei! You can fool the other but not me.. I know you have a liking to that Tsunade lady." the young ninja sounded soft and understanding, he was always the good listener among his other students, and Minato was probably the only one who cares about his personal life. It's not that he chose for him to know that, he just knew.
"Tsunade's still not the same, she's not going back to her old self. It's hard to believe but I miss that side of her." Jiraiya laughed to himself, maybe his blond student can never understand how it feels to have the person you love pushing you away because she still can't get over her dead lover.
"Don't worry Sensei. She'll be back to her old self soon enough. Just be patient." Be patient, god, how many times does he need to hear those two words. He's running out of patient just on Tsunade.
"Yeah, thanks for the advice Minato." Jiraiya stood up ready to leave.
"I'll see you tomorrow Sensei. Don't get drunk too much!" the boy winked before he ran off home.
"Yeah, don't worry kind, I won't." Jiraiya told himself and smiled.
He went to the direction where he was going before. Time to hit the bars!

Tsunade was suddenly awoken by the sound of someone or something on her house door. She checked the small clock on her side table and saw the time, 2 AM in the morning. She could kill that someone behind the door at the moment.
It all seemed real until she opened the door and saw the man stood in front of the door.
It was Jiraiya.
He passed out on Tsunade's arms and she fell carefully to the ground by the sudden weight she was carrying, she moved herself and Jiraiya a little into the room to be able to close the door and keep the warmness of the house the same as before.
She looked at him, studying his features, and by the looks of it, he was drunk and also badly beaten up, his lips were swollen and he had bruises everywhere on his face. She raked her fingers through his thick hair and sighed under her breath.
"What did you do now Jiraiya?" she knew he was unconscious. She positioned herself beside his face, kneeling on the carpeted floors and then started fixing his bruised yet handsome face.
