A/N: Ok sorry for making you wait so long! I was really lazy and a little busy! I hope this chapter was worth your wait though:)

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto!

"The truth is…" Tsunade didn't want to admit that she was hoping to see Jiraiya that night.

"Yes…?" Jiraiya asked.

Tsunade did what she would always do in this situation… find a way out. "Look! This is none of your business!" She covered up her feelings.

"Just tell me! I mean you going out with a jerk like him! What the hell?"

"I went out with a jerk like you!"

Jiraiya suddenly went silent. "I apologized didn't I?"

"Whatever…"

Once again there was silence. Jiraiya took a deep breath and spoke yet again. "Tsunade…"

"What!"

"Look I know you're still mad but can I make it up to you?"

"How?"

"Well you know the carnival is coming up…"

"No!!" Tsunade screamed instantly. "There is no way in hell I'll go with you!"

"Please Tsunade! Just one chance!! Please!!" Jiraiya pleaded. He was about to go on his knees and beg to escort her.

"Why should I give you another chance?"

Jiraiya thought for a while for a stupid yet reasonable excuse. "What if Tayato comes back and tries to get you again!" He said not really thinking.

Tsunade pondered for a minute. Jiraiya's excuse sounded stupid but still made some sense. She tried to find an excuse to back fire but… couldn't think of one he couldn't fire back. Still Tsunade gave it a whirl. "I can take care of myself!" She said. It was the only excuse she could think of.

"Oh yeah! What about tonight! You couldn't tonight."

Tsunade saw that coming and thought for a second again. She was out of excuses. The only one left was with Shizune's name in it but Shizune was going with Genma to the carnival. She sighed in defeat. "Fine, I'll go with you… but it isn't a date! It's just um… you are going as my body guard not anything else." She stated.

Jiraiya wanted to jump up in victory but stopped himself. "Deal!" He said with a big grin. "Want me to walk you home?"

Tsunade blushed a bit… she wanted to say yes but also wanted to say no. She found her last excuse as a perfect cover up. "Well as my body guard I guess you have to walk me home." She said.

Jiraiya smiled yet again and walked his dear princess home.

--

Naruto already started walking Sakura home. It was her way of thanking him for helping her back there. The moon was shining brightly. "Sakura…" Naruto started.

"Yes…" Sakura asked.

"Well there's a carnival coming and…"

Sakura instantly stopped and glared. "No way!!" She screamed. "I am not going with you! Ever!"

"Come on please Sakura-chan!! I'll be good!" Naruto begged on his knees.

"I'm already walking home with you! Just leave me alone already! I don't want to go!"

"Please I'll…I'll… I'll do anything please!!" He pleaded.

"No means no!" She said.

"Please Sakura! I'll keep that creep away from you. I'll polish your shoes. I'll even fan you!" Naruto stated.

"Why should I go with you?"

"I'll be your um… body guard?" He said not being able to think of anything.

"What makes you think I need one?"

"What happened at the shop?"

Sakura was getting tired and didn't really feeling like arguing… plus she if she goes with Naruto she has no worries. No need to keep her guard up. "Fine." She said and walked into her house. Then she popped her head out. "But you're not my date!!"
