AN: Doesn't that title just grab your attention? So sorry I've been lazy with my updates, but lately, my motivation has slowly been decreasing and my fingers just can't do the walkin'. But please accept this extremely late Mother's Day gift as penance, because I luv you guys!

Disclaimer: Sadly, I still have not conquered Mr. Kishimoto and have not become owner of Naruto. But I still have tomorrow...

As she sat in her over-sized chair, slowly trudging through her massive stack of paperwork, she could feel a small flicker of wind on the back of her neck.

The stirrings of her battle instincts made her stiffen in her chair and her eyes darted inconspicuously from her paperwork to the door.

Nothing.

Her whiskey eyes left the door, lingering for the slightest of moments until her conscious told her it was nothing.

But her hand just didn't seem to have the heart to let the wisp of air go, so she put her pen down.

Leaning back until her back hit the smooth black pleather of the chair, the busty Hokage let out a long, sleepy yawn as she checked the clock.

"Good god, it's already nine." Tsunade rubbed the back of her neck and let a pout spread across her face.

It was Sunday, she shouldn't be allowed to work on Sunday. Shizune should have at least let her sleep in until like twelve, but of course that was completely out of the question.

"I'm hungry..." Just as Tsunade swiveled to get out of her chair, the wind came back, stronger now, and cold as it made the hair on the back of her neck stand on end.

"That is pissing me off." Suddenly, big arms wrapped around her shoulders and one big hand covered her mouth, silencing the surprised gasp that came from her lips on contact.

She threw an elbow for her assailant's face, making contact with a cheekbone.

A pained grunt landed on Tsunade's cheek, but the strong arms didn't waver, and soon enough, consciousness was quickly fading.

"Dammit…" She moaned as she tried releasing the genjutsu that had just been placed on her, but knew from the feel of the chakra, it wouldn't be easy.

Soon enough, the Hokage was unconscious in the arms of her attacker.

It was a groggy awakening, and her eyes were bleary when she opened them. There was a pale light in front of her, something like candles flickering in and out of her peripheral. She moved her hand to wipe a cold sweat from her brow, almost slapping herself when she didn't feel restraints on her limbs.

"What the hell?" Snapping open her eyes and searching the walls of the room before her, Tsunade jumped from her seat and scanned the entire room.

"Hey!" She shouted, hard voice booming in the small living room, which she noticed to be very familiar. Closing her mouth, she took a step towards the couch she was just sitting on, picking up the unmistakable scent of-

"Pervy Sage, is the ramen done?"

"Naruto?"

"Oh, crap! She's awake!"

"What the hell did you do to me?"

"Put that over there, squirt."

"Jiraiya?" She was more than livid as she made her way into the dinky little kitchen her boys were holed up in.

"Now Tsunade, don't be upset." Jiraiya was duly ignored as she stormed up to him, grabbed him by the collar, and brought her face right into his.

"Did you kidnap me?" Tsunade seethed as she bored holes into Jiraiya's onyx eyes, watching him sweat as her fists tightened around his collar.

"We had Shizune's permission." Naruto explained shakily as he came over, hands on Tsunade's fists and trying his best to lower them and his master. Tsunade gave the teenager an incredulous look, loosing her grip on the tall man in her hands as she stared the blonde down.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Tsunade was basically hissing now, readying her hands for Naruto.

"She said it was okay to take you out for dinner tonight because it's Mother's Day." Naruto blurted out all at once when her hands got dangerously close to his throat.

"What?" With her hands shaking so violently as they were, it took time for them to finally fall back down to her sides. Jiraiya took a step closer to her and wrapped his arms around her shoulders.

"Feel familiar?"

"Get off me!" She wiggled out of his grasp and over to Naruto, turning to glare at him.

"I'm not a mother, Naruto." She looked like she was about to say more, but stopped when her eyes found Naruto's face.

"Well, you've been more of a mother to me than anything else, baa-chan. So I wanted to do something nice for you." At those words, Tsunade's heart melted and she turned to look at Naruto and Jiraiya.

"That's so sweet, Naruto. Thank you, honey." She wrapped him in a hug and gave him a light peck on the cheek.

"But you!" She spun around at a violent speed, slender finger aimed at Jiraiya's heart and eyes steely as she stared him down.

"Never, ever again do you get to manhandle me like that. You know I always hated that genjutsu of yours! I am Hokage and I will punish you severely…" A few more seconds of her death glare and she turned back to Naruto, who happily stood near the boiling pot of ramen.

"Ready to eat?" With a happy little grin and oven mitts a bit too big for his hands, Naruto bounced on his feet at her nod and readied the pot, Jiraiya collecting the bowls as the team worked in an assembly line fashion.

"That smells divine, guys. Did you make this yourselves?" Two triumphant nods.

"Awesome." Naruto walked Tsunade over to a little table, a pretty yellow tablecloth covering it and three places set. He pulled out her chair and tucked it in when she sat, and moved to grab something from behind the couch.

"You didn't have to do all this for me, Naruto."

"No, I wanted to." He sat down next to her, a bouquet in his hands with two wrapped boxes: one looking fairly decent while the other was wrapped in newspaper, with Naruto's unmistakable scrawl of, "BAA-CHAN" on it.

"These are for you." Tsunade smiled warmly as she took the flowers from him and watched as he placed her presents on the table in front of her.

"You can open them now if you want." Oh he was eager, she could see it all over his face. He was basically on the edge of his seat, face close to hers as Tsunade looked over the two boxes with a glint of teasing behind them.

"Well, I thought about opening them after dinner, but since you're so excited…" She tore open Jiraiya's gift as he made his way in with three bowls of hot ramen, eyes sparkling with mirth as he watched her eyes light up.

"Oh…" Tsunade held the unwrapped box with careful hands, eyes sparkling with childish delight as she read and reread the label.

"Alcoholic dark chocolate." She was beginning to froth lightly at the mouth.

"Thank you, Jiraiya!" Tsunade hugged his waist as he placed her bowl in front of her, the steam rising into oblivion.

"Open mine, open mine!" Naruto was shivering in his seat, eyes big and anxious as Tsunade ripped off the newspaper.

She came to find a box with a shiny red lid on top. With careful hands, she lifted it off and looked inside.

"Oh Naruto…" One hand went inside the box and brought out a silver locket that gleamed in the light hanging overhead. Tsunade marveled the jewelry, turning it over in her fingers and prying it open.

"That's from the hot spring we went to after we got you to be Hokage. And there's something else at the bottom." Gently as she could, Tsunade put the locket down on the napkin beside her and dug deeper in the box, her hand coming across something along the lines of metal.

"Naruto I love this. It's so beautiful." The frame of the picture was painted brass, a forest like green. It was in the shape of leaves and tree branches, intertwining with another and making this vine-like pattern on the entirety of the frame. And the picture was even more of a sight.

Twelve year-old Naruto stood next to a leaning Tsunade, her arm around his shoulders and a mouth full of dango on both of them. Naruto had sauce all over his face and Tsunade had a stick dangling from her lips, two dumplings already devoured. She was reaching for his face with a napkin; smile wide as she held him tight so he couldn't get away. He was laughing with his face pulling away from her hand, eyes closed in glee as he tried pulling free from her grasp.

"Thank you Naruto, Jiraiya. This means a lot." Tsunade wiped a small tear from her eye and engulfed Naruto in a hug, holding onto him for a good ten seconds and whispering a thank you.

"Alright!" She chirped as she pulled away and ushered Jiraiya to sit.

"Lets eat!"

D'aw, wasn't that just the sweetest thing a tard like Naruto could do? I thought so... :)

For all of you awesome readers who have been baring with me, I bow to you patient beyond belief people, you supremely rock! Thank you so much!

PEACE :P
