One day Keiko refused to go to bed, so Jiraiya and Tsunade let her fall asleep on the couch. In the middle of the night, Keiko woke up. She looked around for her parents, but they weren't there. Keiko became scared, got off the couch, and ran to her parent's room. When Keiko got to her parent's room, Keiko pounded on the door. The pounding woke Tsunade up, but Jiraiya slept through it.

"Mommy!" Keiko was crying. Tsunade sighed, got out of bed, and opened the door. When Tsunade opened the door, Keiko ran in and grabbed onto her mother.

Tsunade picked Keiko up, held her, and took her back out to the living room. Keiko grabbed onto her mother and buried her head in her mother's shoulder.

"Keiko, what's wrong? Can you tell me what's wrong?" Tsunade softly asked Keiko. Keiko's grip on her mother tightened. Tsunade stood up and took Keiko into the kitchen to make her a bottle of warm milk.

During that time Keiko did calm down a little bit. When the milk was done, Tsunade tried feeding it to Keiko. Keiko didn't drink the bottle at first, but she did drink it the second time Tsunade offered her a bottle. When Keiko did drink the bottle, she drank it slowly. After a few gulps of the warm milk, Keiko gave up the bottle. Tsunade looked at the bottle, it as still almost full.

"Keiko, what's wrong? You usually want a bottle. Keiko, can you tell Mommy what's wrong?" Tsunade asked. Keiko slightly whined and tried to grab onto her mother. Tsunade rubbed Keiko's back and softly sang to her. A few minutes later Jiraiya came out into the living room.

"Tsunade, why aren't you in bed?" Jiraiya asked. Jiraiya looked really tired and his hair was a mess. He walked over to Tsunade and kissed her. "Please, come back to bed," Jiraiya asked with a sad look in his eyes. Tsunade forced a smile at her husband.

"Jiraiya, I'd love too, but Keiko isn't acting right. I'm worried about her," Tsunade explained. Keiko held onto her mother a bit tighter. She thought her father was going to get angry at her, but he didn't.

"What do you mean, Keiko isn't acting right? This is what she always does if she wakes up in the middle of the night," Jiraiya told Tsunade. Tsunade sighed and grabbed Keiko's bottle.

"Watch," Tsunade instructed Jiraiya. Tsunade held the bottle up to Keiko's mouth and tried to get her to start to drink it. Keiko moved her head away from the bottle and looked away from it. When Jiraiya saw this, he became concerned.

"Keiko, it's your milk. You like milk," Jiraiya was trying to bribe Keiko to drink her bottle. Keiko ignored Jiraiya and snuggled into Tsunade again. Tsunade rubbed Keiko's hair and looked at her husband.

"I'm going to let her lie down with us. Maybe she'll go back to bed then," Tsunade suggested. Jiraiya agreed with his wife and they took Keiko to their bedroom. Jiraiya took along the bottle of milk just in case Keiko changed her mind and wanted it.

When they got to their room, Tsunade set Keiko down in the middle of their bed. Then she and Jiraiya climbed into bed. Tsunade put a blanket on Keiko and Jiraiya tired to feed Keiko again. Keiko ignored the bottle and she tried to take the blanket off.

"Keiko, do you want us to play with you?" Jiraiya asked. Keiko got up, went over to her mother and climbed on her. Tsunade gently pushed Keiko back onto the bed. Keiko, in return, whined at her mother. Jiraiya and Tsunade tried everything to get Keiko to go to bed, but they couldn't. Soon they gave up and went back to bed themselves.

Keiko climbed on them, rolled around in the blankets, tried to steal the pillows, and a few other things to keep herself entertained while her parents slept. A few hours later when Tsunade and Jiraiya woke up, Keiko was still awake.

"Keiko, did you sleep at all when you were in our bed last night?" Jiraiya asked Keiko. Keiko ignored him and climbed on Tsunade grabbing onto her. Tsunade rubbed her daughter's hair and stood up with Keiko still hanging onto her.

"Jiraiya, she's probably going to fall asleep soon I'm just going to carry her around until she does," Tsunade explained. Jiraiya was okay with this idea. So Tsunade and Keiko went downstairs to make breakfast. Jiraiya and Tsunade were worried about their daughter still. Keiko still didn't tell them what was wrong with her.
