Latrophobia- Fear of going to the doctor or of doctors.


A dainty pale hand fidgeted as she sat on the examination table in the small doctors office. Being the hospital of a small town it was small compared to the ones in Tokyo yet still struck the same amount of fear into her.

She hated going to the doctors, loathed it and only went if she really had to but this was one time that she had no choice but to go in for a checkup. Even so as she sat there fidgeting in her olive green dress she couldn't help but to gaze around in suspicion.

She jumped as the door opened and the doctor stepped in, he was young maybe only a few years older then her twenty five and looked a nit haggard. His dark brown hair was somewhat messy on his chin was covered in stubble.

She mused it was to be excepted he was the only doctor in the town and he was no doubt catching flak for all the deaths occurring. She was one of the few who knew the real cause and was doing her part to protect the people of the town yet still people were dying. Even so she froze as he gave her a small tired smile and held up a chart.

"So Ms. Higurashi what's the problem?" His voice was a bit rough and she knew it was because he was a chain smoker, working at the town store she knew he went through four packs every three days. She didn't approve of his habit but honestly it was none of her business, plus she had met his wife.

She felt guilty for that thought but it was well known their marriage was a farce, a political one if you would. Even so she was not here to judge his wife, the shrew, but here for a reason. With a flush she shifted again and looked away from him as he stared at him.

"I'm here for my annual Pap smear. Dr. Ozaki." Her face was red and she refused to look at him as he let out a small surprised breath.

She hated going to the doctors.
