Promise

"Promise you won't leave me." Tsunade looked up from her sake. "Both of you." She met the eyes of Jiraiya and Orochimaru. "Promise."

Jiraiya carefully moved the rest of the bottle of sake out of her reach. "We promise." He reached over to grab her hand. "Come on Tsunade, let's get you out of here. This isn't healthy, you of all people should know this."

"No." She muttered into her remaining sake. "It feels good. It feels like nothing."

"We're going, and you're coming with us." Orochimaru stood up. "What would Nawaki and Dan say if they saw you?"

"You didn't promise." Tsunade glared at Orochimaru. "You don't ca -"

"I do care." Orochimaru bent down to help her stand up. "I'm here trying to get you to sober up aren't I?"

"If either of you cared you would let me drown in alcohol."

"And what sort of friends would we be if we allowed that?" Jiraiya picked Tsunade up. "You are in no condition to walk anywhere. We promise not to leave you, right Orochimaru?" Jiraiya gave his teammate a pointed look.

"Right." Orochimaru opened the doors of the bar. "We're here until the end."
