Boredom
by SakuraIsthill
This is a short fic I did when I was feel rather discouraged. Writing this made me feel much better, but unfortunately, well, don't expect it to be very good.
And oh yeah, Anubis and everything else related to him is not owned by me, but some company which I forget the name of. I have no control over SilverFalcon or Crimson, although both of them make a mean webpage, and personally, SilverFalcon is my hero. I make no profit off of this in anyway . . . well, you know, in the form of money anyway. Anyway, on to the boredom!
Sakura-chan leaned back onto the couch and sighed. Working on the webpage had left her feeling drained, tired, uninspired, and stiff. Even pictures of Dais and Anubis were begining to loose their affect on her. Heather closed her eyes in depression. All seemed lost.
Anubis squirmed in the kitchen chair. Too quiet. It was too quiet. When things got quiet in the den, they got ugly. Maybe something was wrong with Sakura. Maybe he should check on her. He gulped at this thought. Any show of caring or concern toward Sakura usual brought on a very hard glomping. None the less, he had too find out what was wrong.
He located her by the low sigh which escaped from the sofa. Edging cautiously closer, knowing she could spring at any moment, Anubis peered over the back off the sofa.
"Hey Sakura-chan, what's wrong? Your being awfully quiet."
Anubis winced. He had used Sakura's chan name, she loved that. Oh yes, he was getting a glomping for sure!
But nothing like that happened. Sakura just stared up at Anubis with eyes full of emptiness.
"I don't know, Anubis. Nothing excites me anymore. Nothing new, just same, old, boring stuff and same, old, boring me." She sighed.
Anubis stared in what can only be described as shock. Sakura, Dark Warlord of Insanity, Hyperactivity, Multi-grain bars, shredded cheese, bricks, and other throw able objects, calling herself boring. Belittling herself!
"Heather, what makes you call yourself boring?"
Heather waved her hand around. "This! Nothing I have done is original! Nothing I have done is interesting! Nothing I have done is as insane, spontaneous, or nearly as good as anything SilverFalcon or Crimson have made! I have no right to call myself the Dark Warlord of Insanity. I'm a failure."
Anubis stared at her for only a second before acting. Coming around the couch, he sat next to her.
"Sakura-chan, you are not a failure. I don't about these SilverFalcon or Crimson characters, but believe me, and I'm being honest about this, you are the most insane, unpredictable person I have ever met. Just because your not running around acting like a screaming lunatic every second of every day doesn't mean your not good enough. Everyone gets depressed, gets serious some times. It just gives you more depth. Sakura-chan, you are my friend. I can't allow you to say things like that. Cheer up, please, for me."
Sakura had to think about this. Yes, he was right. She smiled at him.
"Thank you Anubis. That does make me feel better. I think I'll go work on my Dais shrine."
Anubis nodded and smiled. "You do that, Sakura-chan."
Anubis watches Sakura leave the room. He turns and stares into nothingness.
"I was so caring and comforting. And all those things I said were kinda sweet . . . wait . . . AAAAHHHH!!!"
Anubis freaks out.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE I JUST SAID ALL THAT! I'VE MADE MYSELF SICK!"
Anubis runs into the bathroom, ready to puke because all the nice things he just said.
