"Mummy, mummy" cried a little girl with silver pigtails and red eyes as she ran into the kitchen, clutching her favourite doll tightly.

"What is it Kohana?" asked her mother.

"When's daddy getting home?"

"Any day now" she smiled kindly as she continued the cooking.

"Do you think he'll bring me back a present?"

"He has every other mission, I'm sure this one will be the same"

"Can I have a sweetie?"

"No, wait for your meal; you'll lose your appetite"

"But I'm hungry" whined the little girl.

"Kohana" warned her mother.

"Gomen" she said with a sad face. Kurenai smiled and picked her up.

"Why don't you help me make tea?" she smiled giving her little girl a hug.

"Hai" she smiled as she helped stir the big pot.

"What do we have here, my two favourite ladies making tea?"

"DADDY" screeched Kohana as she wriggled out of her mother's grasp and ran over to her father. Kakashi quickly scooped her up and swung her around his head.

"Did you get me a present?" she asked excitedly.

"Of course my little flower" he grinned as he brought out a neatly wrapped up package, causing the girl to squeal in excitement. "But don't open it yet"

"Hai Daddy" she grinned. "Can I have a sweetie whilst I wait?"

"Of course" he smiled as Kurenai turned around.

"No she can't, it'll spoil her appetite" Kohana turned to Kakashi and pouted.

"Aw, but Kurenai" he pouted with her. "She's a growing girl, she'll have plenty of room left over, won't you poppet"

"I promise to eat all my greens" she nodded eagerly.

Kakashi walked over behind a sulking Kurenai and whispered 'I'll give you your present now' he told her with a perverted grin.

"Fine" she smiled. "But go eat it in the living room and let me finish cooking"

"Yatta" grinned the little girl as she grabbed her sweet. "Arigatou mummy" and then she disappeared leaving behind her parents.

"You spoil her Kakashi" smiled Kurenai as she turned back to the cooking.

"Aw, I spoil you too though" he smiled back as he started kissing her neck.

"Mmm" she moaned in agreement. "I've missed you"

"Missed you too" he assured her as he turned her around to kiss him.

"DADDY" they heard a high pitched voice yell. "Come play with me"

Kakashi chuckled as Kurenai pouted.

"She always gets all of your attention"

"I'll make it up to you tonight" he told her with a wink before giving her a kiss. "And you can have these to help you wait"

He passed her an envelope before walking out the room to see his daughter. Kurenai opened the envelope to find two tickets to the Moon Country as a belated honeymoon. Also included were permission slips from Tsunade along with a letter from Shizune about how Genma and she would be delighted to look after Kohana for the week. Kurenai smiled. There was no doubt about it; her husband did spoil both of his favourite girls.
