Jo, hello out there, here´s the next chapter. Thanks for all the reviews!
Warning: Still found no Beta-Reader... you´ve been warned... ´grins
-Hospital, part2-
Emanating pure evil, blue eyes looked into the room, resting on every detail they could find. Pure distrust was written all over Tsunades face when all she could detect where three empty beds and an empty room except of Genma, who gave her a very irritated look.
Sure of having detected something earlier, she used her ninja senses to feel...
"Something not ok?" Genma interrupted her, his most innocent smile on his face.
As if she had noticed him just now her intensive look fell on him, startling him and making him feel really uncomfortable. Then it softened up a bit. "No. Just thought I heard something... could have sworn..."
Not so silently as one would have expected from the Hokage- perhaps it was the rising dissapointment of having lost a dead sure prey- Tsunade crossed with fast, determined steps the room.
A lonely drop a sweat searched traitourously its way down one of Genmas´s cheeks...
"I will close the window. Its already dark outside and its cold..."
Genma forced himself to hide his feelings and to breath calmly. But his eyes followed every of Tsunade´s moves as she neared the window, her eyes still roaming over the room, eyeing suspiciously every piece of furniture.
Then she was a the window... There...
All of a sudden she leaned out of the window...
Out of nowhere a grinning white haired and spiky head appeared in front of her.
Screaming in shock she stumbeled back. "Jiraya! What are YOU doing here?"
His smile widened even more. Triumphantly he jumped on the windowsill and took her hand in his. "I was searching for you, my dear Tsunade. You should quit work for today. I was walking near this wonderful place and thought, woulnd´t it be nice to drink some wonderful sake with my dear old friend Tsunade..."
A vene popped on Tsunades forehead. Then she grabbed the bottle and gave him a punch that made him fall off the windowsill. "Ts, quit work for today..." But than curiosity won an with a loving look she read the label on the bottle, nodding slightly. At the end the temptation must have been to much because she gave Jiraya, who was already back at the window, a wink. "One bottle wouldn´t hurt I think..."
With the triumphant smile back on his face he hopped inside, having perfectly calculated the effect of the seductive content of the green bottle and making a mental note of congratulating himself later, he took Tsunade´s arm in a gentleman style and lead her out of the room. When the two sannins passed Genma´s bed, Jiraya gave him a knowing smirk.
When the door was closed the whole room seemed to sigh.
"Kami, I thought this time we would die for sure..."
Two plopps´ could be heared and two bedside tables transformed back into Kurenai and Asuma. "Coulndn´t believe she´d fall for it... perhaps she was already drunk...?"
A trembling of the sinlge bulb hanging from the ceiling gave away about the hideouts of another Jounin... with another plopp Kakashi landed graciously on his feet.
Asuma nodded. "Wowy, hiding as a light bulb..."
Anko rolled out from under Genma´s bed where she had been clinging and hiding, fearing for her dear life. Raidou and Iwashi climbed back in trough the open window. "This was close..." Raidou said.
"Yes, I´m suprised she didn´t detect us... I was sure this time she would find us all... Next time she might really catch us."
Genma looked at her. "Isnt´that the only reason your doing the whole thing? Playing hide and seek with the hokage...?"
"The way you´re saying it it sounds as if it´s totally childish..."
Kakashi shrugged his shoulders. "But it is childish."
Nodding in agreement, Anko got back her smile. "Yep, totally right." She laughed. "We where lucky that Jiraya appeared. I´m sure he will demand something in return..."
"If he´s blackmailing us, we could..."
"Oh, please spare me with your perverted plans, Kakashi! And I´m sure it is a perverted plan!" Kurenai shoke her head. "Let us go drink somewhere else instead. I´m sure the others will have free soon. Perhaps we should switch places and go into a bar."
Iwashi put a finger thoughtfully to his chin. "Yes, I told Gai, Ibiki, Kotetsu and Izumo to come directly to the bar..."
"Yo, lets go." Kakashi said with a side glance at Genma who was barely able to hold his eyes open.
The others nodded in agreement, and saying their goodbyes to Genma they disappeared through the open window.
Cold wind was blowing inside the hospital room and send cold shivers down his arms, the thin shirt not really protecting him from the falling temperature. Sighing and silently cursing his so called friends that left him behind in such a hostile environment, Genma climbed carefully out of his bed. Immedeately he felt all dizzy. Side effects of his medicine...
Frantically he clinged to the bed, fighting for his balance.
"Wait, Genma. I´ll close it for you."
He looked up. He hadn´t noticed her entering but immediately let himself fall back into the white sheets.
Shizune closed the window and looked at him with her cute brown eyes. "Escaped Tsunade-Sama´s anger again?"
Genma nodded weakly. He felt tired and exhausted and the terrible headache was killing him. His dizziness didn´t make things easier.
She gave him a serious look, noticing his constant condition. "You´ll have to rest.Sleep, Genma!" She said, reprimanding him slightly.
Without protest he let her pull the sheets over him, mumbling a silent "Thanks." to her.
"You´re welcome, Genma. You know you´re a good friend after all."
"Wouldn´t your other patients become envious if I receive a special treatment from you?"
"Ts, don´t get the wrong ideas!" She looked down at Genma, but he had already drifted to sleep. A smile flushed over her face and for another moment she studied his delicate features. Then she slipped silently out of the room.
With a contented smile on her face Tsunade stood in the doorway of her bureau, Jiraya standing next to her. Both watching Shizune as she left Genmas room with a happy expression and going home.
Jo, thats all today. Next chapter will have more to do with the title of this story... thats the plan.
