When Keiko woke up the next morning, her parents were asleep on wither side of her. Keiko got u and climbed on her mother. Tsunade mumbled something and rolled over. Keiko slid of her mother and fell onto her father.
This woke Jiraiya up. Keiko's father yawned and sat up in bed. Keiko smiled and climbed into her father's lap. Jiraiya then set Keiko on the ground after her got out of the bed. Keiko got off the floor and followed her father into the bathroom.
Jiraiya paid no attention to Keiko and took his morning leak. Wanting some sort of attention from her father, Keiko went up to him and tugged on his pants. Keiko tugged on his pants so roughly, they fell down.
That woke Jiraiya up. Jiraiya quickly pulled up his pants and finished his business. After Jiraiya washed his hands, he picked Keiko back up and took her back into the bedroom.
When they returned to the bedroom, Tsunade was awake and sitting up in bed. Jiraiya went over to his wife, gave her a kiss, and set Keiko on her lap.
"Good morning Jiraiya," Tsunade lovingly told her husband. Keiko then got off Tsunade's lap and tried to go over to her father. Jiraiya gently pushed Keiko over. Keiko fell onto a couple of the blankets. Tsunade then quickly covered Keiko up and sang to her.
Keiko was still tired from waking up in the middle of the night. Soon, Tsunade got Keiko to fall back asleep.
"So, Tsunade, are we going to finish our business from last night?" Jiraiya sheepishly asked his wife. Tsunade nodded and went and put Keiko back in her crib. When she returned to the bedroom, Jiraiya was undressed and waiting for her. Tsunade quickly got into the bed with her husband and got down to business.
A few hours later, Keiko woke up. She stood up in her crib and looked around for her parents. When Keiko saw a figure pass her door, she was about to call out to the, but she stopped. Who ever that person was, it wasn't one of her parents.
Keiko then sat down in her crib and waiting for one of her parents to come and get her. Soon, Tsunade walked into the room.
"Keiko, how long have you been awake?" Tsunade asked her daughter. Keiko quickly stood up and tried to get out of her crib. Tsunade laughed, picked Keiko up, and grabbed one of Keiko's stuffed toads. Tsunade handed the toad to Keiko and then she went into the kitchen to feed Keiko breakfast. When Tsunade walked into the kitchen, Jiraiya was already sitting at the table drinking coffee.
"Hey! Look who's awake! Come here Keiko!" Jiraiya happily said. Keiko saw her father and reached out for him. Jiraiya took Keiko from Tsunade and fed her a bottle. When Keiko was done with her bottle, she started talking non-stop. Soon, she started talking about the mysterious figure she saw right after she woke up.
"Bad man!" Keiko told her parents. "Snakes!" Jiraiya and Tsunade thought Keiko was making things up. Soon Tsunade and Jiraiya took Keiko into the playroom to play. Jiraiya stayed in the playroom to play with Keiko, while Tsunade went off and did some house work.
Keiko was having a blast playing with her father. She was pretending she was her father, and Jiraiya was pretending he was a toad that Keiko summoned. A while later Tsunade returned into the playroom with a box.
Keiko stopped playing with her father and went over to see what her mother was doing. Tsunade opened the box and set Keiko on her lap. Then she grabbed a bunch of pictures and showed them to Keiko.
"Tsunade, what are you doing?" Jiraiya asked his wife. Keiko started laughing. She found a picture of her father from when he was young. Tsunade smiled and rubbed Keiko's hair.
"I was hoping she would recognize some of these people in these pictures. What she was saying about snakes and "the bad man" upset me quite a bit this morning," Tsunade explained to Jiraiya. Keiko then suddenly started crying.
Keiko threw all the pictures away from her and tried to snuggle into her mother. Tsunade quickly held Keiko and tried to calm her down. Jiraiya picked up a few of the pictures and asked Keiko which one scared her. Keiko pointed at the picture of Orochimaru.
"Keiko, why are you afraid of this picture?" Tsunade asked her daughter. Keiko wouldn't answer Tsunade. Tsunade knew that Keiko needed to calm down a bit more before she told her mother anything.
"Bad man," Keiko told her mother after calming down. This made Tsunade very worried. How would Keiko know about Orochimaru? Tsunade knew something was up and she wanted to protect her daughter and she would try her hardest to do so.
