Ch. 7

--Tsunade POV--

The seconds of silence after the mysterious man said that they needed to talk felt like hours. Sweat started to form on my brows, I couldn't sense this man's existence and it scared me. Everything had something to sense but he had nothing! Clenching my fists even more I started to bend my knee slightly getting ready to initiate the fight.

Mystery Man: "Really? Can't you just calm dow-"

Before he could finish his sentence I pushed off from the ground with as much strength as I could. Sending myself flying in his direction I cocked my fist back and shot it forward with all my strength. Feeling it connect I knew I landed a good hit, but what I saw next completely floored me. He was standing there with his arm extended as nothing happened and my fist was stopped by his pointer finger alone.

Jumping back as quickly as I could I started to do the hand signs for a jutsu. Before I could complete it he just raised his hand and I felt my body freeze.

Mystery Man: "Tsunade, please this is not the time or place for this. I don't want you to destroy my inn. Plus, is that how you treat your benefactor?"

Clapping his hands together the scenery changed to a hotel room. Zach looked like he was laying on the bed still passed out, I was in the doorway still in a defensive stance. Then I spotted Shizune and Tonton sitting on the couch that was in the room. My mind started racing wondering how we got trapped in this genjutsu.

Mystery Man: "No, you are not trapped in a genjutsu."

What?! Can he read my mind?

Mystery Man: "Yes I can read your mind."

Oh no he says he can read my mind, I don't believe him I'll have to think of something to have him prove it. Let's see, how about the time when Zach first entered me. Oh man, why did that come to mind first? Please, don't say it out loud.

Mystery Man: "Interesting thought, I won't voice it out loud. But you might want to keep your mind clean while I'm around."

Relaxing a bit, I nodded my head realizing that I honestly can't do much. As the mystery man saw me relax he took a showman bow and started his introduction.

Mystery Man: "Greetings, I am the God of Wine and Fertility Dionysus. Your world probably hasn't ever heard of me but this world has. Your partner in crime over there passed out on the bed sure knows about us. Speaking of which."

During the speech, Dionysus turned and indicated to Zach's passed out form. After he stopped his speech he gave a little clap and Zach came too with a stupid look on his face as he looked around. It was kind of cute how innocent he looked. Slapping myself lightly I admonished myself, I'm supposed to be mad at him.

Dionysus: "Thank you for joining us in the land of the conscious Zach."

Zach: "D-D-Dionysus?! You're real?! Tsunade you're here too?! What is going on?"

Dionysus: "Yes Zach I am re-"

Tsunade: "Yeah I'm here I've been here you idiot! You deserve a lot more for calling me fat!"

I was shaking with righteous anger at him. But him looking at me with a dumb and horrified expression was kind of endearing. No Tsunade! Stay strong, you will not forgive him! I could see the gears moving in his head as he started to remember the last bit before I knocked him out. Finally, the light came to him and I saw a horrified expression on his face. Yes, that's right realize what you did wrong and I will milk it for all it's worth.

Zach: "Ts-Tsu-Tsunade I didn't mean that people had been bothering me all night and I was super drunk. Wait, why am I not drunk? How long have I been asleep?"

Tsunade: "That is not a good excus-"

Dionysus coughed to interrupt our little squabble.

Dionysus: "If I may continue."

Both Zach and I looked at each other then back to Dionysus and nodded our heads. Shizune was sitting there quietly and scared out of her mind.

Dionysus: "As I was saying, I am Dionysus God of Fertility and Wine. I have created The Wondering in from this world to your world. -He pointed to me- I have been a big fan of your world Tsunade and wanted to meet some of the famous people from your world if they wandered into my bar. You are the first, and hopefully not the last! But you two have far surpassed my expectations! The blessing me and my brother gave you as thanks for not letting someone die in the bar. Because I know once Shizune confirmed that Tsunade was ok she would have killed all those men. But who knew you'd use my blessing so well, and on such a great woman!"

We were all just staring at him with a mixture of shock, awe, confusion, and reverence. Zach and I both blushed towards the end of that.

Dionysus: "So, now we come to somewhat of an impasse. I only originally intended each side to visit in this inn and bar. But you both messed it up, I mean really Zach. I was the one to make you think of what your father said. Then you Tsunade, thinking that you're too old. I guess it was really a perfect storm with you too. So here is the deal, this will only count for you two and your offsprings. I will allow travel between both worlds through the inn. Putting either one of you in a situation to choose one or the other would just be wrong. I will limit things that you can bring through though, mainly weapons and I'll let you know if you try to bring something on the ban list. So any questions?"

Shizune slowly raised her hand and Dionysus pointed to her to go.

Shizune: "Ughh, I have questions about everything. Mainly what are these two worlds you're talking about and second, how did you get Tsunade to be physically younger?"

Nodding to myself I gave Shizune a thumbs up, two great questions.

Dionysus: "The two separate worlds is kind of a sticky matter. But you two will find out eventually. You two are from what Zach would call a fictional world. A fictional world is something that a writer thought up. Before you start yelling at me that you're real I know, it's a very convoluted explanation that will go over everyone's head just trust me on this one. As far as the younger, more vibrant you Tsunade, that would be Zach's fault. With the fertility blessing, it judged your body to not be in the best state to be well fertile. So it reverted you to the age where you were most fertile. What it boils down to, Zach has eternal youth. Which he can share it with you and whoever he comes into contact with through his ugh, bodily fluids."

Wow, that is a lot to take in. Two separate worlds and our world is a story in Zach's world, holy heck I'm just going to trust Dionysus on this because it's already starting to hurt my head. But then digesting what he said about my youth made me blush heavily. Thinking more about the context I turned to Zach who looked frozen in fear. I pointed to him and with a grave voice.

Tsunade: "You are mine, no one else. MINE I TELL YOU!"

Zach: "You're p-pr-pregnant?!"

I gave him a predatory smile.

Tsunade: "You better take responsibility."
