"No! No go!" Keiko yelled at her mother. Tsunade was having a hard time getting Keiko's shoes on. Every time Tsunade tried to put Keiko's shoes on, Keiko would kick, wiggle and cry. Soon, Tsunade became really frustrated with Keiko.
"Jiraiya, come here," Tsunade called to her husband. "Can you hold Keiko so she'll stop kicking me?" Jiraiya sighed and picked up Keiko. Then he sat on the ground in front of Tsunade and held Keiko so she would stop kicking.
"No! Don't want!" Keiko yelled again. Jiraiya held on to Keiko and told her to stop yelling. Keiko stopped long enough for Tsunade to get Keiko's shoes on. As soon as Keiko got her shoes on, Jiraiya let go of her, and Keiko took off.
"Dammit. We're only going to the store. Well, I go get her and we can leave," Jiraiya said to Tsunade. Tsunade nodded and Jiraiya went off to grab Keiko. A few minutes later Tsunade heard Jiraiya yelling and Keiko crying. When Jiraiya walked back into the room, Keiko was squirming in Jiraiya's arms, trying to get away.
"Keiko, quit it. Come here," Tsunade softly told Keiko. Keiko grabbed onto her father while Tsunade tried to take her. Jiraiya pried Keiko off of him and gave her to his wife. Keiko started to cry again. Tsunade held Keiko close to her and rubbed her back.
"Mommy," Keiko whined. Tsunade hugged Keiko and Keiko yawned and laid her head against her mother. Jiraiya lightly touched Keiko and Keiko looked at her father. Jiraiya held out one of Keiko's stuffed toads and Keiko grabbed it and held it.
On the way to the store, Keiko started to cause trouble again. Jiraiya soon became sick of what Keiko was trying to pull so he took her from Tsunade and set her on the ground. Keiko tried to take off but Jiraiya grabbed her.
"Keiko! Stop misbehaving! Be a good girl and listen to what we say," Jiraiya tried to explain to Keiko. Keiko smiled and tried to grab at Jiraiya's hair. "Hey, stop. Are you going to be a good girl?" Jiraiya asked. It took Keiko about a minute before she answered her father.
"No!" Keiko yelled. Then she bit Jiraiya, trying to get away from him. This made Jiraiya angry. He didn't like it when Keiko bit people. He grabbed Keiko roughly and spanked her. Keiko started to cry and tried get away. Jiraiya picked Keiko up and held her. Soon, Keiko stopped squirming.
"Jiraiya," Tsunade started out, "You didn't have to spank her. She would have listened to you." Tsunade was upset. She didn't like it when Jiraiya spanked Keiko. Keiko looked at her mother sadly and then laid her head against her father.
"Tsunade, she needs to learn not to bite people. You can't baby her all her life. She needs to learn to behave," Jiraiya told his wife stubbornly. Tsunade stopped arguing with Jiraiya and took Keiko from him. As soon as Keiko was in Tsunade's arms, Keiko hugged her mother as hard and she could. Soon, they arrived at the store.
Jiraiya went off to grab what he needed and Tsunade took Keiko to get what she needed. As soon as Jiraiya left, Keiko started to cry.
"Keiko, what's wrong? Do you want Daddy?" Tsunade asked Keiko. Keiko told her mother no. "Then what do want?" Tsunade asked.
"Daddy scary," Keiko told her mother. Tsunade hugged and kissed Keiko. Tsunade knew Jiraiya was going to scare Keiko if he spanked her. Keiko looked at her stuffed frog and played with it. Then Tsunade set Keiko in the cart and started shopping.
When Tsunade was done shopping, she went off to find Jiraiya. Jiraiya was waiting at the check out line for Tsunade and Keiko. As soon as Keiko saw Jiraiya, she gave her mother an upset look.
"Keiko, it's okay. I'll carry you home okay?" Tsunade quietly asked Keiko. Keiko nodded and went back to playing with her stuffed toad. Jiraiya kissed his wife and went and paid for the groceries. Then before Tsunade could pick up Keiko, Jiraiya did.
"Jiraiya, don't," Tsunade tried to tell her husband. He wasn't listening. Keiko was ignoring her father though. Keiko yawned and laid her head against her father. Then she closed her eyes. Tsunade looked at the clock and realized it was Keiko's naptime.
On the way home, Tsunade talked to Jiraiya about spanking Keiko. Jiraiya understood that Keiko was upset with him, and her was going to talk to her when she woke up. Then they walked the rest of the way home in silence.
THE END
