This takes place when Himawari is 15 . ( not a child sorry I find it hard to write in a child pov )

Shikadai pov

He always looked forward to coming over naruto house why ? Because his crush is there not that anybody but only him knows about . Before knocking on the door Boruto opens it " hey Shikadai ! Ready to play this game with me ?" " yea! I brought my game over too ". Trying to be discrete he looks around for Himawari ." where's your sister ?" He asked . " she's with Inojin in her room painting " boruto said not really understanding why Shikadai cares about his little sister .

Jealousy the little green monster starts to make his appearance inside him . " why can't he be just as artistic as Inojin? Why can't he be the one in her room painting ?" He bitterly thought to himself. Even he can taste the bitter jealousy on his tongue. Not wanting to sour his mood even more he pushed the jealousy aside and focused more on the reason why he's here.

Walking into Boruto House brings back so much memories. Wondering why he ever befriended Boruto in the first place . Already answering his own answers he knew they were destined to be friends considering his dad worked for Boruto dad. It was only right if him and boruto were also friends .

Walking past her door he quickly glanced into the room and finds her kissing him . His heart broke like fine china that day . Not wanting his best friend to see his heartbreak , he decided he was gonna leave . " Boruto my stomach hurts ! I gotta run home ! Sorry! I'll make it up to you ! " he yelled while running out of the house.

The heartbreak making him slow down he stopped completely . He can feel the green like tar of jealousy mixing in with the black tar of heartbreak inside of him. He wanted to kill that guy but he can't . That is his team member , the team member that betrayed the bro code and still went after his girl. Sighing to himself ... who was he kidding ? He barely talks to her . She is fair game for anybody whose interested in her .

Not wanting heartbreak and jealousy to cloud his judgment especially during an assignment . He pushed those tar like feelings away and decided from that day on he was no longer interested in someone whose been taken by his own team mate . So he goes home and do the only thing he can do at that moment ... sleep .

Next day

His team got a new mission from. The Hokage to track down some cult leaders who are using young girls as sacrifices for their fake deities. To get to the supposed sacrificial place is a good three day travel. This normally wouldn't be a bad thing but at this point and time it as a bad thing. He didn't want to be around Inojin , The guy who stole his world . He's indirectly a soulmate stealer .

Depression is the snake that's tightening its hold on his already crushed soul. The slimy body wrapping around his soul, telling him that it's his fault that he didn't move quick enough. "The early
Bird gets the worm" it hissed into his ears . Trying to push the feelings away he tries to only think about the mission .
Inojin was always that guy that loved to show off his talents in art . Guess what he's doing now ? He's talking about Himawari and the art he drew for her . Who was he kidding ? They're meant for each other . Both of them have things in common and art is that thing. He can feel the snake slithering up his soul. The snake is bigger this time , tightening its hold even more than before. " you think you can get rid of me that quickly ?" Hissed the snake .

He didn't forget what he promised to himself .

" I can get over her , she's taken "
" I can get over her , she's taken"
" I can get over her , she's taken"

He chants to himself ... acting like this one line can rid him of these feelings.
