chapter 67

*Anko felt like shit. No other way to say it, no way to put it into pretty words, no. She felt absolutely awful, just filled with pain, all over her body, originating from that damned curse mark. She slowly opened her eyes and felt somebody take off her gas mask for her. Kagura helped her up slowly from the table, making Anko groan softly feeling like throwing up would be good right about now. Unfortunately, her mood got worse since Kushina decided to speak up, and her voice was like nails on a chalkboard.*

Kushina: How do you feel?

Anko: Like shit. I felt everything you both did to me. It felt like somebody was cutting me with a hot knife.

*Anko said, as she knew that special air wasn't going to do shit to her. Call it one of the little "blessings" that Orochimaru did to her. Anko has a very high tolerance to drugs, it takes a dangerous high dosage for it to do something to her, which works fantastically when she's out on the field. Not so much when she's in the hospital or the dentist. You can't imagine the level of pain she feels when the dentist "knocks her out" and she has to feel that drill hitting the nerve of her mouth. Kushina gave a nod as she looked at her notes.*

Kushina: Yes. I imagine that must've been the seal fighting to our interference with you're body.

Anko: A lot of fancy talk that I don't care about. Get to the point.

*Anko said as she rubbed where the seal was. Bad idea. It was like touching an open wound, making Anko wince loudly, and pull her hand away from there. Kagura chuckled watching Anko be in pain, a little messed up or inappropriate? Sure. But anko would've laughed if the shoe were on the other foot. Kushina remained professional, as she looked at her clipboard, looking at the progress they had made, they were able to eradicate a large portion of the seal, but it was gonna take multiple sessions for it to be removed completely.*

Kushina: It was successful. Of course, this is like removing a tattoo. It'll take multiple sessions, but this was a good first session.

Anko: Right. Don't suppose you can get me some pills for the pain huh?

*Anko said as she felt pain down to her bones in the most literal sense. It's been such a long time since she felt this much pain, it made her feel like that seal was alive and it was angry, and it was biting back. Kagura tossed Anko a bottle of water and a small pillbox. Anko took it and didn't even hesitate. She took 2 and swallowed, housing it down with some water. She takes a deep breath, hoping that the effect will come by soon, to make this at least tolerable.*

Kagura: I got you. Here's the receipt for the pharmacy. This should get you the good shit. But for now, this will have to do.

Anko: You're a diamond Kagura. When's the next session?

*Anko asked as she took a deep breath and stood up slowly, she felt like a sharp, hot knife was stabbing her feet with every step she took, but Anko ignored the pain, it hurt like a mother fucker, but crying wasn't gonna change that so why waste time doing something like that? She just got dressed and cracked her neck as she got ready to leave. While she was dressing, Kushina spoke about the next appointment, if she were being realistic, it would be around a week or two from now, her body needed time to heal a little before they started over again with this.*

Kushina: That depends on how long it takes you're body to heal from this one.

Anko: gotcha. Tomorrow same time.

*Anko said as she went to walk away but her knees buckled, and Kagura had to grab her before she fell on the floor. Yeah. No. Anko wasn't gonna be ready to go tomorrow, for another operation, if she does something that dumb, it will only just make the pain she is feeling more than double, hell more than quadruple. Kushina doesn't care how much Anko hates her for no apparent reason, since honestly, the only thing Kushina could think about was that Anko just hates her because Hiruzen hates her. But, she will not allow her patient to risk her life for something so petty.*
