Chapter 2: Side Effects
"Well, it looks like everything checks out normally, Kankuro. But just take two of the these pills twice a day." Said the old doctor.
"You sure this'll work?" asked Kankuro, doubtfully eying the box of pills in his hand.
"If it doesn't, just go to a specialist."
"Thank you very much, sir, but we need to get going." Temari spoke.
Safely back at home, Kankuro was reading the back of the pillbox. There was nothing else to do since he and Gaara were the only ones home. (Temari had gone shopping.) The puppet master was reading the 'interesting' side effects the doctor failed to mention.
'Dizziness, constipation, drowsiness,… anal seepage! Who makes this crap! Wh—'
"Not enthused about your happy pills?" monotonously asked Gaara as he entered the living room.
"Wouldyou take something with anal seepage as a possible side effect?" Kankuro irritably asked. He was a little upset Gaara had interrupted his thoughts.
Gaara paused in thought, then gave the innocent-looking pillbox a disgusted look and asked "Where will you go for a specialist if you won't take the pills?"
Kankuro was taken aback by his brother's question. Why is he getting so involved? Normally, Gaara wouldn't give two craps about his siblings' health. Kankuro wisely chose to think it over later since Gaara had that demanding look. The older boy's voice quavered slightly as he answered.
"Uh, probably Konoha…?"
This seemed to please Gaara so much Kankuro could've sworn his psychopath brother smiled.
The psychopath brother in question had once more enclosed himself in his dim room. He removed the red light he typically used and replaced it with a giant 120-watt bulb. The room was lit like an operating room. Gaara opened the top drawer of his dresser and picked up the thread and needles. Shadows in his drawer fizzled into smoke from the intense light.
Sitting on the floor, Gaara started to make his next vict—er doll. The old green blanket he found was perfect material. That thick-browed kid would never know what hit him! Gaara stayed up all night (not like he can sleep anyway.) diligently working on the doll.
The next morning, Kankuro was explaining to Temari his reasons for wanting to see a specialist in Konoha. She agreed right away after seeing how much pain he was in. (Gaara had realized there were still no muffins.)
Yes, Gaara still has not gotten his muffin. XD Anyway, thank you all the for the reviews!
DemonCloudStrife, thanks for the insightful review. Iwant to write more tothis ficbecause I've got so many fun ideas for it, andI would put romance in, but I don't know how to write it without making it crappy and whatnot.
