Heat Waves

Tsunade can vividly recall the last time she saw Jiraiya, his lips pressed on her forehead his arms wrapped around, her making her feel warm and safe

I'll be back he promised in her ear, and she had hold on, she had believed him, two years, it will only be more or less, a year,what could possibly change in those two years right? It's not like she will go anywhere

Unfortunately for her, faith has a way of contradicting what she always believed in, while Jiraiya travelled the world Tsunade met someone new, someone who made her heart flutter

And she would be guilty if Dan didn't make her happy, make her believe in love, a year she had spent that year with Dan

But Jiraiya came back as promised.

Though he was different from the boy who used to lighten up every room he stepped into, he's so different, and so far away

It shouldn't bother her, it shouldn't, but somewhere along the line the unsettled feelings she had for him had always been there

With Dan wanting their relationship to take a step further, what would she do when her heart seems to want different things?

Waiting for someone who will never return home?

Life has a funny way of twisting faith and only strong one endures, will Tsunade figure out who she truly wants or will she lose that love forever?
