-------

The room is dark. Blinds were closed and faint sniffling can be heard from a lump on top of the bed. The lump moved slightly to the side and peeked out it's toe making a tuft of yellow-orangish hair appeared from the top.

Kakashi sighed and knocked on the door, "Toshiyuki you can't stay in Koneko's room and cry all day."

A muffled voice sounded from the futon mountain, "No! I will stay here until Koko-chan gets back!" Toshiyuki crawled back under Koneko's futon as he stuffed his face into her pillow. Kakashi sighed as he already knew the result to this predicament. Might as well go back to his book. He knew he couldn't do anything to bring his own daughter back.

Toshiyuki heard the sound of Kakashi's footsteps receding down the stairs of the Hatake household and peeked from under the futons. He sighed in relief, immediately releasing himself from the heated prison. He fanned himself to quicken the pace of cooling, "What would Koko-chan do..." he trailed, his eyes darting to each and every crevice of the cat girl's room.

Toshiyuki's eyes land on Koneko's dresser, spotting a small spray bottle with a small cat draw on to it. He pushes himself up off the floor, gracefully landing on his feet. Grabbing the bottle of the dresser, he spots a folded piece of paper under it, "Hm?" he hums in curiosity. He unfolded the paper and read it's contents

"Dear Diary-chan,

Koneko says hello! Though she doesn't feel that great. Daddy and mommy found a way to punish her without hurting her, but she doesn't like it! Bleh! They spray her with water like the neighbors do with the stray kitties that come visit her. Koneko loves the water, but she doesn't like it when it starts to make her hair stink. No no no!

Nyah, Koneko Uchiha-Hatake"

Toshiyuki muffles his laughter in his scarf, awing over the cute child Koneko. He reads the date at the bottom and realizes the date, "It's before the day we met..."he whispered, clutching the paper as if it was a lifeline.

"Ne? Are you going to continue staring at that paper or are you going to come greet me?" a chuckling voice was heard behind the small boy. Itsuo watched at the shaking figure of the ANBU boy and approached him with an outstretched hand. Toshiyuki abruptly turned around and ran into Itsuo's arms, causing both to fall down on Koneko's carpeted floor.

"I-Itsu-kun..." Toshiyuki cried out, his arms tightening around the taller male's form. Itsuo shushed and comforted the boy, "It's going to be fine." he whispered, "I know you miss her. We both do."

The two males laid there for a while, causing Itsuo to remember his reasoning for coming to find Toshiyuki in the first place, "Ne? Yukii-" he speaks up but quiets down noticing the sleeping male upon his chest, "I'll just tell you when you wake up..." he sighs, laying down.

....

Toshiyuki's eyes open slowly, yawning and stretching from his sleep. But he couldn't. His movement was restricted by a something...more like someone.

His face meets someone's chest causing his face to heat up, "I-I-I-I-I-ITSU-KUN?!" he exclaims pushing the taller male away and crawling to the corner of the room. Itsuo slowly gets up from of the floor, rolling his neck from discomfort, "Yuki-kun? What are you doing over there?" he spoke drowsily.
