“I’m not going to fight you.” *Jiraiya says as he looks out at the pair at his door*
“You were always such a pacifist…” *Orochimaru mutters bitterly as they glare at him*
“Just come in already… it’s raining hard out here…” *Jiraiya opens the door for Orochimaru and Tsunade*
*Tsunade frowns but she and Orochimaru take Jiraiya’s offer and they walk in*
*A few minutes later*
“So, what brings you here?” *Jiraiya mumbles as he twirls a Kunai in his right hand* “I haven’t seen either of you since I left. Why come to your enemy now?”
*Tsunade frowns* “your not our enemy… even though you betrayed us, your still our friend no matter what.”
*Jiraiya chuckles bitterly* “Sure you are… you can stay in the guest rooms tonight. Be gone by morning and I’ll forget I ever saw either of you.”
*Orochimaru sighs but complies* “Fine. We’ll be gone by morning but this won’t be the last you see of us.”
*A few hours later as the night goes on it’s almost midnight, the tension in the air so thick you could cut it with a butchers knife*
“Well, it’s already almost midnight so I suggest we get to bed, the guest rooms are upstairs to the right. Don’t go down to the basement and be gone by daylight.” *Jiraiya then walk’s upstairs and into his room where he falls asleep*
*The next morning*
*Tsunade and Orochimaru are gone by daylight leaving Jiraiya alone again, but this time leaving a note behind that reads…*
“Dear Jiraiya, I’m sorry that things had to turn out this way. We truly loved you and we are sorry for whatever happened to you in the end.
- Love Tsunade, From Orochimaru.”
*Jiraiya chuckles bitterly as he crumples the note and goes back into his room where he re-thinks the choices he’s made in life*
The End.
