26. Sing
All of their children had been criers when they were infants. He'd never known how to handle them when they cried but, Ino always had a way with them.
They always wanted their mother which made it hard for him when she'd be out working in the flower shop or the interrogation building. He had gotten better with time of course, with Ran he could tell she needed to be fed or if she was just too tired.There was always instances when nothing he could do for them would make them stop crying.
That's when Ino would always swoop in and save their children from screaming so much that they damaged their vocal chords. She'd hold them close to her heart and sing to them in there most beautiful angelic voice.
Her songs always made their children's crying halt abruptly. One that she sang frequently about knowing that no matter how lonely you felt, there were always people under the same sky to welcome you and make you feel a sense of companionship, another about the power people's words hold; helping you find strength.
She'd put them to sleep singing them those lullabies, they had nearly the same effect on him. She knew that too, singing him to sleep when his thoughts kept him awake.
