1: The Flower Queen

There was no mistake that you were a feminine looking man. Your voice was soft, you had slim features, pretty eyes and smooth skin. Being a medical ninja and herbalist you knew of ways to keep your features looking pure and healthy. The clothes that you chose to wear didn't help either, but you didn't mind, you were proud of who you are and didn't try to 'look the part' as others say.

You were currently walking through an unfamiliar forest near the land of waves, looking for a rare flower herb that could be used to cure some lesser known poisons. Hopefully no one would be unlucky enough to get poisoned by such toxins, but you weren't the type to take risks like that.

Not many people knew about this forest, and you were no different. New areas was something you dealt with plenty of times before, you had a good sense of direction.
Looking around you spotted a small opening near a lake. Smiling, you walked from under the shade of the trees and into the opening.

This area had the flower that you were searching for scattered around. Of course you wouldn't pick all of them. Some must be left alone so that they would grow more in the future, but that left you with only a small portion.
A soft sigh left your lips as you sat your weaved basket on the ground.

You jumped slightly as you heard light mumbling towards the edge of the lake. Looking over, there was a man sitting and leaning against a tree near the water. He had long white spiky hair and red marks that started from his eyes and ran down his cheeks, ending at his chin. You quickly recognized him as one of the legendary sannin Jiraiya.

He was sound asleep so you decided to leave him be, there was no reason to disturb his rest. After taking in the old man's features you continued on with your herb picking. By the time you've picked all you were allowed to, your basket was barely half full.

Sitting on the edge of the lake, seiza style, you enjoyed the view that the small oasis provided. Little fish swam around in the lake happily and you smiled at them, imagining that they were smiling as well.

Suddenly someone plopped down next to you, startling you. They made no noises on the way over to you. Turning your head you saw it was Jiraiya, looks like he woken up without you noticing. He looked down at the fishes as well for a minute before speaking up.

"This is a quite the peaceful spot no? I came across it a little while ago while researching for my book, I don't remember seeing you around here before though" The Nin rubbed his chin with his thumb and index finger as if searching his memory of ever seeing you.

"Jiraiya right? The Toad sage himself... No, this is my first time here. I came here to the land of waves for the soul reason of collecting some special herbs that grow in the area." You say, pointing to your basket.

"Ah I see, that's not a very large amount, wouldn't you need more?" He asks curiously.

"You're right, I would have to make what I have now into antidotes while they're fresh then go out and look for more" you smile which caused the sage to blush heavily and grin.
"Hey what's your name?" He asked, realizing that he didn't ask you yet.

"Hmmm" you decide to be difficult and play a game with him. "How about this, if you can get me more of these herbs-" you picked up one of the small flowers and showed it to him "-then I will tell you my name and spend a day doing whatever you want me to, with some boundaries of course,"

It might of been a bad habit, but doing small bets like this were very entertaining, especially since you spend most of your days picking plants and making medicines.

The sage smirked and gently took the flower that you offered him. "Oh yeah? And what gave you to the idea that I'm so interested in you that I'll run around to get you some flowers that you say are rare and hard to find? That sounds like a lot of work to get just a day with someone so flat-chested~" he giggled jokingly hoping that that kind of joke wouldn't offend you, but why would it?

"Unless you get flustered in front of anyone you first meet like you did me then I could safely say that you're at least some what interested. And Flat-chested? I thought that was normal. Why? Do you have some volume under there?" You say teasingly and poked at his chest through his shirt. His chest felt quite toned, you couldn't help but blush unwillingly.

Jiraiya seemed to have barely processed what you said for his face was bright red and almost steaming. He fell back into the grass, a blushing and muttering mess, blood slightly leaking from his nose.

Once Jiraiya was conscious once again you spent the rest of your time together talking. He told you that he was a writer and told you of the books he has written. You shared a little about yourself, like your village life and your passion of medical ninjutsu. He was surprised to hear that you were much older then you looked, due to your knowledge in herbs and certain ninjutsu it was easy to stay healthy a young looking.

Jiraiya was very interesting to hang around, he made you laugh and was very charming.

As much as you wanted to stay and continue listening to the old yet humorous story on how he and another member of the legendary Sannin, Orochimaru, were on a mission to capture a criminal whose jutsu made them both dance a ballet duet together against their well, you had to get going.

"Sadly I shall be going Jiraiya, hopefully I will see you again soon, and hopefully with two baskets full of these herbs. Maybe even four?" Chuckling you stood and Jiraiya did the same.
"You can count on me... Uhm, Flower queen" he smiled at the name he self applied to you for the lack of knowledge on your real name. You smiled in return, inwardly laughing and the strange choice of name.

Noticing that he was still holding the flower you gave him as reference for the bet you reach over and softly took it from his hand, fixing it into his hair next to his ear.
"There you go, don't lose this, you must know what the flower I'm looking for looks like" you whispered in his ear, your warm breath met to his cheek and of course he had a bright blush on his face. Finally backing away you waved your free hand in goodbye, taking the basket of the little flowers you had with you and headed out of the forest.

Jiraiya watched you go, a soft smile on his face. "Oh man, what is this feeling...can an old man like me really be experiencing the emotions of a lovestruck schoolboy?" He chuckles to himself and instead of heading to where he is lodging he heads further into the forest in search of a certain kind of flower.
