Chapter 2

"Grumpy."

"Idiot."

"Evil."

"Short."

"…Short…ER!"

"I'm taller…"

"No."

"Yes."

"Nope."

"Do you understand I'm trying to get work done?"

"Yes...yes I do."

"...So that doesn't make you think I should stop."

"Hmmm...no."

"Someone please kill me." He mumbled to himself.

"I can kill you eighteen different ways with this paper clip." She said holding up a small paperclip with a grin.

"Does someone up there really hate me this much?" Kankuro grumbled as he watched Akina and Gaara argue. Again. It began with a normal day of signing papers then she walked in and all hell broke loose. Temari walked in. She looked at the two who bickered. Then at Kankuro. Kankuro pleaded for help. Temari came over to him.

"I have an idea."

"Hmm?" He listened trying to tune them out as he helped his brother with paper work that he was also doing miraculously as they argued.

"Espresso."

"Oh…You're an insane woman and I'm proud to be your brother." He said getting up and grabbing a cup of expresso. He handed it to Gaara remembering what happened when Naruto did this locking him in the room with said Kazekage high off sugar. Gaara took it and drank without noticing.

"OK..." He said ifnishing it and putting it down. "Prove it."

"I'm not going to come over to you and attack...your sand will get in the way and somebody ends up hitting the ground at the end everytime...Kankuro! Can I kill you eighteen different ways with this paper clip?"

No answer.

"Kankuro?...Gaara why is Kankuro gone and why are you twitch...ah fucklesticks!" Akina said watching him twitch uncontrollably. She heard the door being locked…blocked…chained…wood covered. She slowly backed away. Sand shot up and held her in place. She gulped. This had happened once before.

"Akina…Did I ever tell you about the thing with squirrels is weird? Oh hey look Kankuro and Temari! Why are they running? Did you ever wonder about the moon? I have. Why are you trying to kill yourself with a paperclip? Something about a trap? Killing Knakuro with a paperclip? HANG ON KANKY I"M COMIN'!" He yelled. The sugar was taking over his body as he raced off after Kankuro to 'save him.' Akina stood there as he jumped out the window and ran after them.

"Way number nineteen to kill people with a paperclip..." She said sitting down watching the show from the now Gaara shaped hole in the window. "Give Gaara sugar and mention his brother being killed by a paperclip...works everytime..." She said smiling as she took a sip of tea.
