Thank you for reading so far .Just so you know Minato and Kushina are maybe around 13 or 14 and this takes place shortly after Minato saved her.
Team Jiraiya
Minato nervously wiped his hands on his pants before knocking on the door. He half hoped that Jiraiya would not be home so that he could put this off a little longer. Though if he kept putting it off to long he would never have what he wanted and he knew that someone else would take what he wanted more than anything in the world, what he wanted even more than being Hokage. He took a deep breath and knocked again on his sensei's door.
When Jiraiya finally opened the door it was only to find is favorite pupil staring at the ground looking nervous. The Sannin could not help but feel alarmed at the young ninja's state, Minato was almost always confident and things rarely seemed to alarm or upset him. Whatever could put him in this state must be very important and troublesome.
"Minato why don't you come in?" The Sannin said ushering his hand through the door.
Once inside Jiraiya directed the young ninja to sit at his kitchen table while he prepared drinks, tea for Minato and sake for himself, Jiraiya had a feeling he would need some liquid courage before they were finished talking.
"So what is wrong?" Jiraiya asked his nervous pupil.
Minato licked his lips nervously and tried to meet his sensei's eyes.
"You have to promise you won't tell anyone about this!" Minato pleaded.
Feeling alarmed at his usually very open students request Jiraiya felt himself nodding his consent.
"You know a lot about girls right?" Asked the yellow haired ninja as he stared at the table.
The Sannin again found himself nodding his head wondering where this could be going.
"Well, I want to take someone on a date but I have never been on a date." Minato began. "It has to be perfect because she is perfect and if I mess it up she may not want to date me again. Or she could hate me and go out with someone else. I really can't mess up!"
Jiraiya looked at his star pupil babbling about some girl and could feel his lips begin to twitch in amusement. It was not hard to guess who he was talking about. The Sannin knew the boy had mooning over the fiery tempered Jinchuriki since he was a small boy. Jiraiya felt proud that the young man he thought of as a son had finally asked the girl of his dreams out and couldn't help but feel amused at his panic.
Taking a few moments to gather his thoughts Jiraiya thought about the many women he had dated over the years conveniently forgetting about how many were payed women of the night. In his opinion his student came to the right man, few men could brag about his number of conquest he had under his belt.
"Well, most women like being taken to fancy places and bought fancy things." Jiraiya told his student. "In my experience the more you spend the more she will like you."
Minato nodded his head not quite understanding why it seeded to be all about money.
"So I should buy her a new kunai or something?" Minato asked.
Jiraiya looked at his student like he had sprouted a second head. This boy obviously had no idea how women operated.
"Women like pretty things like flowers and jewelry. The best bet is to give her jewelry, women always love jewelry the more expensive the better. Though don't buy her a ring. If you give her a ring it always messes up any future dates. Too many expectations." Sannin told the young ninja.
Not quite sure of this information Minato briefly wondered if Kushina had ever worn jewelry. She was a bit of a tomboy and seemed to have more interest in fighting then looking in a mirror.
"The next thing is you need to take her to someplace really nice and expensive. Definitely not some cheap Ramen stand." Jiraiya said.
"Then what?" The young ninja asked.
Jiraiya gave his pupil one of his patented pervy grins.
"Well then it is the most important part," The Sannin said in his most sage like voice. "The kiss at her door step. Walk her to her door and kiss her. If you do this wrong she will never speak to you again and if you do it right well…."
The old pervert began to chuckle to himself.
"Well if done correctly she will take you to her room." Jiraiya finished.
Minato thought about kissing Kushina and he could feel his face heat up. He would really like to kiss the fiery redhead but would be extremely happy to just her hand.
"Why would I go to her room?" Minato asked after processing everything else Jiraiya had said.
"Well…"Jiraiya tried to explain the reason but could not come up with a good explanation that he would feel comfortable saying out loud.
"If she does take you to her room remember to leave a large wad of cash." He figured that if the boy did not already know what happened in a girls' room then hopefully the girl would. He was not going to explain the Birds and the Bees to the boy.
"Why?" Minato did not understand what his Sensei was talking about and felt even more confused and troubled then he was before he knocked on Jiraiya's door.
"It is just what you have to do." Jiraiya snapped at the boy. He was not going to explain the laws of men to this boy. A man must always pay a woman for her services that was just simply how it is.
Knowing that Jiraiya had never before steered him wrong and was a very wise man of the world Minato felt that he would trust him with his advice. He really like Kushina and did not want his inexperience to make not like him. After all it was just recently that she had seemed to like him and she could easily change her mind.
Ever since he had first seen her he had fallen in love with her. At first it was her hair that drew him too her. Minato loved watching her from behind in class, it fascinated him to see the different shades of red her hair would become as she would move. When he had learned she was missing he had been terrified but he had felt hope with every red strand he found as he followed her captors. He wanted to be as close to her as possible and never let anyone harm her again.
He knew he had to do this right.
He went to several shops looking for the perfect gift for the kunoichi and he finally settled for a simple necklace with a violet stone that he thought matched her eyes. I found a nice restaurant that met Jiraiya's instructions and when the day of his date rolled around he nervously waited for her outside the restaurant.
Meanwhile Jiraiya had recruited Minato's fellow teammates for a top secret "S" mission. Follow Kushina and Minato on their date. It was simple follow the two lovebirds and do not get caught.
When Kushina arrived Minato she wore a simple green dress and her brilliant red hair hung loose nearly to her ankles. She was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen and he was lucky enough to have undivided attention on him for the night.
He quickly held out the small bag that he had brought with him. Kushina looked at him and the bag and tilted her head in a confused manner.
"It, it's a present I bought…for you," Minato said stumbling over his heads. "It is pretty and made me think about you."
Kushina smiled as she opened the bag and took out the necklace.
"It's so pretty! Thank you!" She gushed out holding the necklace. "But I didn't get you anything."
Kushina looked downwards shyly.
"It's ok," He replied. "I don't need anything."
Minato blushed and looked at the ground not knowing what to do.
The girl noticed how shyly Minato was acting and decided to help him out.
"Why don't we go inside?" She asked.
Minato quickly agreed and walked besides her making sure he opened up the restaurant door for his date before following behind her. Right before the door closed behind him he felt a sudden prickle on the back of his neck as if being watched he turned around only glancing at a puff of white from the corner of his eye.
Deciding it was nothing he continued into the restraint.
The best way to describe dinner was awkward. Neither of the youngsters could read the menu and when they finally received the meal they had no idea how to even use the utensils to eat the escargot they had somehow managed to order. The pair after having a good laugh together about their inability to eat there meal decided to go grab Ramen instead.
The date went well afterwards. They decided to walk around the village for a while after their second meal. They talked for a long time everything from training to their favorite foods. They both enjoyed themselves.
Time flew by quickly and soon it had gotten late into the night. Minato escorted Kushina home and found himself standing nervously staring at her in front of her door.
"I had a really good time with you tonight," Kushina told Minato.
"Me too," He replied nervously.
"Well goodnight," Kushina said with a smile. "I hope we can do this again."
Knowing that Jiraiya had said this was the most important part Minato grabbed Kushina's wrest and pulled the startled girl towards him closed his eyes and puckered up his lips. Just as his lips were descending upon the now horrified girls first there was a large crash.
The pair whipped around towards the noise. On the ground were three very familiar figures of Minato's teammates and Jiraiya. Minato's mouth dropped wide in horror, this was going to end badly for him.
"Did you try to kiss me in front of your friends for your entertainment?" Kushina screeched.
"No…no I didn't even know they were there," Minato tried to explain knowing that his team had blown it for him. Why were they even there?
Not knowing what else to do Minato explained how he had gone to Jiraiya and asked him for help. He told her everything even about how he was told to leave money behind in her room for some reason.
As the boy spoke Kushina's face became redder and redder. When he finished she walked up to the now standing Sannin and bald up her fest. She then hit him hard enough that he did not wake up for a week before she walked inside the house slamming the door.
Minato spent the next three weeks begging and pleading for the redhead's forgiveness. The rest as you say is History. The two eventually were married and they had a wonderful child who would one day grow up and save the world.
I hope you enjoyed. I tried to think of some o the worse things that a guy could do on a date and leaving behind cash for services rendered was the worse I could come up.
Next up is Team Minato!
