Keiko was running around the house trying to get into all kinds of trouble. Her parents were going to go out to dinner, and they were going to leave her at home with a baby sitter. Soon, Tsunade got really sick of Keiko's behavior.

"Hey, quit this! We're going to leave if you like it or not!" Tsunade scolded Keiko. Keiko didn't want to stay out of trouble. Keiko shoved her mother and tried to take off. She didn't get far. Jiraiya saw what happened and snatched Keiko and picked her up.

"Hey! Don't shove Mommy like that! Come on, you're going into a time out," Jiraiya told Keiko. Keiko started to squirm, but Jiraiya stopped her. He set Keiko down in her time out corner and told her to stay there until he came back to get her.

"Daddy," Keiko tried to get her father's attention, but Jiraiya ignored her and left the room. Keiko became really upset and ran off to find her mother. Jiraiya saw Keiko and picked her up again.

"What did I say about the time out?" Jiraiya asked Keiko. He picked Keiko up again, and when was going to take her back to her time out Tsunade walked into the room. She saw Jiraiya with Keiko and went over to them.

"Jiraiya, where are you taking Keiko?" Tsunade asked her husband. Jiraiya explained that Keiko didn't stay in her time out and he was putting her back in it. Tsunade took Keiko from Jiraiya and talked to her about shoving people.

"Sorry," Keiko quietly said. Tsunade hugged Keiko and took her and grabbed one of her stuffed toads to entertain her with until the babysitter got there. Soon, there was a knock on the door. Jiraiya got off the couch to answer the door.

"Hey Kurenai, come on in. Let me introduce you to Keiko," Jiraiya said. Keiko tried to get away from Tsunade to hide. She didn't want to meet her baby-sitter. Tsunade figured out what Keiko was doing and held her.

"Hold still Keiko," Tsunade whispered. Keiko didn't want to. Tsunade picked up Keiko's stuffed toad and tried to distract her with it. It worked. Keiko forgot about trying to get away, and tried to grab for the toad.

"Hello Tsunade," Kurenai said in a soft voice. Keiko stopped trying to grab for the toad and looked at Kurenai. "This must be Keiko," Kurenai said while looking at Keiko. Keiko became really shy and tried to hide her face. Tsunade laughed and lifted Keiko up and handed her to Kurenai.

"Mommy," Keiko started to cry. Tsunade went over to Kurenai and Keiko and gave Kurenai, Keiko's stuffed toad. Then she gave Keiko a kiss. Keiko whined for her mother again.

"Shh, Keiko, I'll be home soon," Tsunade tried to calm Keiko down. Then she started to speak to Kurenai. "Keiko's probably going to cry for her father or me the first ten minutes after we leave. When she starts to calm down, ask her if she wants a bottle, and if she does, make sure it's warmed up. Then you can go read to her or play with her. She loves playing with her stuffed toads. We're probably going to be home before she falls asleep, but if she does fall asleep before we get home, jut set her in her crib. I'll put her in pajamas when we get home. Uh, did you get all that?"

"Yes I did. Don't worry about her. I'm good with kids," Kurenai told Tsunade. Keiko then started to cry again. Kurenai softly talked to Keiko and handed Keiko her stuffed toad. Jiraiya and Tsunade said goodbye to Keiko, and then they went out to dinner. As Tsunade told Kurenai, Keiko started to cry for Tsunade when she left.

"Hey, Keiko, do you want a bottle?" Kurenai asked Keiko. Keiko rubbed her eyes and nodded. Kurenai smiled and took Keiko into the kitchen and made her a bottle.

When Keiko was done with her bottle, Kurenai put the bottle away in the kitchen and then took Keiko into the playroom to play with her stuffed toads. At first Keiko was a bit shy about playing. Soon Keiko was fine with it and played with Kurenai. A few hours later, Tsunade and Jiraiya came home.

As soon as Keiko her the door open, she got off Kurenai's lap and ran over to the door to see who it was. When Keiko saw her mother, she ran up to her and cried to get picked up. Tsunade laughed and picked Keiko up.

"Hey," Kurenai said to Jiraiya and Tsunade, "How was your night?" Keiko was whining for her father now. Jiraiya took Keiko from Tsunade and told her to be quiet. Keiko grinned at her father and hugged him.

"It was good. Did Keiko behave?" Tsunade asked looking at Keiko. Keiko gave her mother an upset look. Jiraiya laughed and it scared Keiko. She wasn't expecting him to laugh. Jiraiya kissed Keiko and calmed her down.

"Yes, she behaved. I gave her a bottle after you left, and then we went off and played with her stuffed toads," Kurenai explained. Tsunade smiled at Keiko and rubbed her hair. Keiko yawned and laid her head against her father.

"Okay, thanks for watching Keiko, Kurenai. Here, let me walk you to the door," Tsunade offered. Kurenai accepted her offer and walked to the door with Tsunade. While Tsunade was at the door with Kurenai, Keiko yawned again and closed her eyes. She was falling asleep and Jiraiya knew it. Jiraiya gently rocked Keiko trying to get her to sleep. Soon Tsunade walked back into the room.

"Here, let me take her," Tsunade said to her husband taking Keiko from him. Jiraiya kissed Keiko one last time and gave her to Tsunade. Tsunade took Keiko into her bedroom and changed her and put her in pajamas. When Tsunade was about to put Keiko in her crib Keiko woke up.

"Mommy," Keiko said sleepily. Tsunade gently rocked Keiko and sang to her. Soon, Keiko fell asleep again. After Tsunade put Keiko to bed, she went off to pick up Keiko's toys that she left out.
