I'll Be Waiting


Tsunade was waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting and waiting. She was waiting for those stubborn Haruno's.

'Where the heck are they?'

She was waiting for five minutes now and no, she wasn't eager to see them but rather eager to finish her duties early and those two were preventing it.

"Stubborn ladi-" she was abruptly cut off when something or rather someone appeared before her.

"Tsunade-sama?"

The two ladies appeared simultaneously with a real peculiarity.

'Speaking of the stubborn ladies, why can't they just use the door instead of appearing just like that?'

The older of the two dragged one hell of a man with really thick eyebrows!

"Tsunade-sama, you called for me? Err… Us?"

"Yes because we have some important matters to discuss,"

"So what is it?"

"Would you mind to excuse us Lee?" she glared and the said man visibly flinched before disappearing.

"Hmm… Did I say he's not allowed to use the door?"

Akemi choked on her own laughter while Sakura just death-glared her cousin who in return, glared back. Tsunade sweat dropped.

"Girls… Uhrm… Ladies stop your glaring war and be seated," Tsunade ordered before sitting down.

Akemi followed quickly to escape the menacing death-glare of the evil pink thi- Sakura who followed after a while.

"So, you know you're the top medic nin right Sakura? And we all know that you are the top kunoichi here in the village, right Akemi?"

"Hai, we know that and just get straight to the point," they both said.

"Yeah, yeah… Do you still remember the story about the Kyuubi?"

"Of course, everyone knows that but what's the relation of that to the matters we have to discuss?"

"Well, we have a slight problem concerning our Hokage… Umm… Make it a big problem…"


"Uh… So… How have you been?" Naruto nervously asked.

"Cut the crap Uzumaki! You promised me, you'll never have any relationship until I come back" Sasuke spat out unable to control his emotions.

"But it's almost what? 8 years? You expect me to believe that you will still come back? I have to live my life and it's not only revolving around you!"

"I… But I'm here now and just dump her off!"

"She's not a trash! I know I don't love her but we are arranged! I… They… And I'm beginning to like her!" Naruto contradicted and Sasuke's eyes just narrowed.

"So you love her more than me?"

"No but… I can't leave her…"

"You know what? Not letting her to know the truth is just more painful"

"But…"

"Can't have any retorts because you know I'm right Naruto"

'I never liked an angry Uchiha'

Yeah kit… Finally learned your lessons?

'Shut up! I'm not in the mood talking to you now Kyuubi'

"Naruto, I'm talking for a while now and you're just spacing out? What a responsible Hokage" Sasuke mocked.

"You se-"

"NARUTO!" The door burst open revealing a sobbing Akemi, a worried Sakura and a dumbfounded Lee. Sasuke sensing some bad news, hid within the room's shadows.

"Sasu-" Naruto uttered in an empty space.

"Naru-chan!" Akemi sobbed.

"Naruto-kun, why didn't you tell us?" Sakura slowly asked.

"Tell you guys what?"

"Don't worry Naruto-san you still have my respect!"

"Wait, wait… I still can't understand you all. Why didn't I tell you what?"

"That… You are the vessel of Kyuubi-chan!" Akemi shouted but still sobbing.

"Who… Who the hell told you?"

"Tsunade-sama told us but don't worry Naruto-kun we will do the entire possible cures to your pain" Sakura said.

"What cure? Pain? I don't have any pains"

"You don't know?"

"Aw… Stop asking me again and just answer!"

"The seal is weakening and if it's not cured before the next month… You might-"

"Die…" Naruto finished for her.
