Wrapped Around Her Finger – Makoto and Shiori

Makoto Kyogoku dashed inside the house with Shiori, his four year old daughter, right in front of him. It had been beautiful weather when they had gone out to the library. Now, however, it was pouring rain, and they both were quite wet. Leaving the bag of books in the entryway, he quickly got a towel from the bathroom.

"Come here, Shiori. Let's get you dried off."

Shiori stamped her foot and shook her head. "No! It'll mess up my hair."

"Come on, Shiori. It won't be that bad."

"No!"

He sighed. Sometimes she was just like his mother, stubborn to a fault. Of course, he did know how to get around that.

"Let me dry you off, and you can have three cookies and watch any video you want."

"Even Mulan 2?"

"Even Mulan 2."

"Okay." She scowled at him. "You have to be fast."

Makoto smiled and prepared himself for an afternoon of Disney movies. Knowing Shiori, they wouldn't be stopping with just Mulan 2.
