Reviews? Time for responses, then.

Jack Hargreave- Well, little too late to back out now. I've made my bed, and I'll have to lie in it. For the second question, one you've all probably been asking yourselves, I plan to use all the feasible social links. Like, the ones that could possibly interact with him. So, sorry, but Hidetoshi, Chihiro, and the like probably aren't going to make an appearance in this tale. Apologies, but I can't work 'em in there and have it make sense.

yami-yuka-tan- I am delighted that you would choose this fan fiction then. We hope you continue to enjoy this tale.

I am a horrible person for putting Minato through this.

Seriously.

Sincerely,

-Funny

P.S. WOOOOOO! 1000 views!

Minato sighed as he stared at the ceiling.

Boredom again.

He glared outside at the window and stared at the rain hammering against it.

Stupid sickness. Stupid no medicine. Stupid Ikutsuki.

…Wait.

What?

Minato turned to face the chairman, eyes wide in confusion. Tucked under his arm was a small book.

"Why hello, Minato!" he chuckled, putting on a wide grin.

Minato tilted his head in confusion. Why was he here? Now?

"Why are you here, sir?"

Ikutsuki kept on smiling, and let the book hang limp at his side.

"I heard that you were sick, and I decided to come on over to check up on you." He chuckled again. "My driver wasn't happy. He must have thought I was 'parking' mad!" he laughed at his joke. Minato gave a slight spasm of pain, that he was thankfully able to disguise as scratching an itch.

"I… I see." He mumbled.

"Well, truth be told that isn't the only reason I'm here." He said, the smile still on his face. Minato raised his eyebrow. What other reason was there? Ikutsuki sat down on the chair next to Minato's bed, and opened the book.

"I thought I might be able to cheer you up with a few jokes. They do say that laughter is the best medicine, after all!"

Minato's blood froze in his veins as the full weight of his predicament came crashing down on him.

NO!

"Ah, here's a good one. What has ten letters and starts with gas?"

I DON'T CARE!

"Automobile!"

ARRRG!

"Haha! Why did the farmer bury all his money?"

SHUT UP!

"To make his soil rich!"

WHY!?

"If fruit comes from a fruit tree, where does chicken come from?"

LEAVE ALREADY!

"A poul-tree!"

OKAY, WHAT!?

"What do you do if a rhino charges you?"

STOP IT!

"Give him your credit card!"

YOU ARE MAKING THIS UP! NOBODY WOULD AGREE TO PRINT THESE IN A BOOK OF JOKES!

This near-fatal dance of pun and reaction continued for nearly fifteen minutes, until Ikutsuki packed up and left.

And so, we learn our lesson for today. Laughter is only the best medicine when it's wielded correctly.

Again, horrible person.

Please review.

Sincerely,

-Funny.

P.S. These are all Laffy Taffy jokes. They were the first things that came to mind, so I did a Google search.
