The next morning when Keiko woke up, Shizune wasn't in bed with her. Keiko rubbed her eyes and carefully got out of bed. Keiko went out to the kitchen and looked for Shizune.
"Morning Keiko," Shizune softly said. Shizune was standing right behind Keiko. Keiko became scared and ran away from Shizune. Shizune laughed and went into the kitchen to finish making breakfast.
"Mommy," Keiko whined. Shizune turned around and Keiko was holding one of her stuffed toads. Shizune smiled and picked Keiko up. Still being tired from waking up, Keiko laid her head against Shizune.
"Okay, it's time for breakfast. We can play later," Shizune explained to Keiko. Then Shizune set Keiko down in her high chair and gently took her toad from her. Keiko looked at Shizune funny and yawned.
"Bottle?" Keiko asked Shizune sleepily. Shizune smiled and put some fruit in front of Keiko. Then Shizune got a bowl of cereal for herself. Keiko was eating the fruit, but she was eating it slowly.
"What's wrong Keiko? I thought you liked fruit," Shizune said to Keiko. Keiko didn't answer Shizune. She just looked at her food and continued to eat it. Shizune sighed and rubbed Keiko's hair.
Then the two of them finished their breakfast in silence. A few times Keiko tried to throw some of her fruit on the ground, but each time, Shizune caught Keiko and scolded her. When they were done eating Shizune went and cleaned up and picked Keiko up and took her into the bathroom.
"Doing?" Keiko asked Shizune. Shizune smiled, kissed Keiko and set her down. Keiko stood up and grabbed onto Shizune and asked her what she was doing for a second time.
"I have to take a shower. You can stay in here with me until I'm done," Shizune explained to Keiko. Keiko unwillingly let go of Shizune and allowed her to take a shower.
Soon, after Shizune started to shower, Keiko became bored. Keiko started playing with the shower curtain and figured out how to open it. As soon as Keiko opened the curtain, Shizune let out a slight scream. The scream scared Keiko a bit and Shizune noticed.
"Hey, I'm sorry," Shizune told Keiko while leaning out of the shower. "I didn't mean to scare you." Keiko was crying and she tried to get Shizune to hold her. Shizune tried to finish taking her shower but Keiko tried to climb into the shower with her.
"Mommy!" Keiko was bawling. Shizune sighed, took Keiko out of her clothes and held her. Keiko usually hated baths and showers. But Keiko wanted to be with Shizune, so she ignored the shower.
"Keiko, can I wash your hair since you're in here with me? You don't have to take a bath later if you do," Shizune asked Keiko. Keiko nodded and allowed Shizune to wash her hair. While Shizune washed Keiko's hair, Keiko laid against Shizune and slowly fell asleep.
When Shizune was done with the shower, she got out and wrapped a towel around Keiko, and she put on a bathrobe. While she was doing this, Keiko woke up. Shizune kissed Keiko and took her into her bedroom and put her in some clean clothes. Then Shizune took Keiko into her own bedroom and put on some clean clothes as well.
"Bottle?" Keiko asked Shizune. Shizune picked Keiko up and took her into the kitchen. Keiko smiled and playfully tried to bite Shizune. Shizune felt Keiko's nip and smacked her.
"KEIKO!" Shizune yelled. "You do not bite people! Do you understand?" That scared Keiko. Keiko hugged Shizune and laid her head against her. Shizune took Keiko straight out of the kitchen and put her in the time out corner.
"Sorry!" Keiko told Shizune. "Sorry!" Keiko didn't want to be in time out. Shizune stood up and told Keiko she would be back later. Then she left. Keiko sat down and cried. She didn't mean to hurt Shizune, she only wanted to play.
About five minutes later Shizune came back with a bottle for Keiko. Keiko stood up and let Shizune pick her up. Shizune took Keiko into the living room, sat on the couch and fed Keiko her bottle. Keiko snuggled in close to Shizune and gave her a happy sigh.
"Keiko, I know Daddy has talked to you about biting people. I want you to understand that I'm the same way. You do not bite people. It's bad," Shizune explained to Keiko. Keiko told Shizune she was sorry. Shizune smiled, hugged Keiko, and finished giving her, her bottle.
When Keiko was done with her bottle, she asked Shizune to play with her. Shizune smiled, put Keiko on the ground and wrestled with her. They were having so much fun, they didn't hear the front door open and close. Soon, Shizune started tickling Keiko.
"Mommy! Stop!" Keiko laughed. Then someone coughed. Shizune quickly stopped what she was doing and looked in the doorway. Tsunade was standing there looking quite angry.
"Shizune! Explain yourself! Why did she just call you Mommy?" Tsunade growled. Shizune froze. What was she supposed to say…
