SesshyLover180: Overprotective? You've got NO idea...
My computer's being an ass so those who reviewed were also Tae-Chan, and SS. Love y'all!
Soichi tucked his sleeping daughter into bed and kissed her forehead lovingly. Hotaru had fallen asleep against her father as he sharpened his kunai after dinner. He didn't have the heart to wake her up and have her half stagger to bed. She was really tuckered out after putting up such a fight with Dosu and training as hard as she could. She wanted to make him proud, working passed her limits-even causing her condition to flare up about once a month in order to carry out her desire.
Hotaru rolled onto her side in her sleep and turned her back on the dim light of her tank under her window on a low table. Her two little snakes, Shin and Jin, were asleep, coiled and hidden from sight. They most likely fell asleep right after Hotaru. Their tank light was like a night light for Hotaru, one that she didn't need anymore. She had forgotten to turn it off after dinner but that was easily fixed as Soichi did it for her. Moonlight spilled into Hotaru's room, falling into the open tank and onto the sleeping girl.
Leaving his daughter's room, Soichi closed her door softly and stretched his body. He was tired as well but he couldn't go to sleep. Not quite yet. He still had things to do before he went to bed. The dishes were done and the left overs put away. His shinobi weapons were cleaned, polished and sharpened-just like Hotaru's that had been done before dinner under his watchful eye. Nothing was out of place, not even their sandals by the front door. Everything was in its proper place so why couldn't he go to sleep just yet? Oh, yeah…
He had to meet with the Otokage.
Short Chp but it's worth it.
