This is my own story. However, I do not own Boruto Next Generations or any other stuff related to Naruto.
CHAPTER FOUR
Sakura opened the door of her house to be greeted by Sarada. "Hi...mom. Who's that behind you?"
Raven looked at the ground, still holding Sakura's arm.
Sarada blinked. "Shy isn't she?"
Sakura ushered Raven foward.
"It's okay. This is my daughter. She's friendly. Say hi Raven."
Raven looked up at Sarada, shaking. "Hi...Sakura's daughter."
Sarada chuckled.
"No that's not my name. It's Sarada. Say it with me. Sar. A. Da."
Raven hesitated, then quietly said, "H-hello Sarada."
Sakura patted Raven's shoulder. "See? That wasn't so bad. Why don't you go inside with Sarada? I need to go pick up a few things."
Sarada sighed. "You're leaving again? Stay home for once."
Sakura frowned. "My word. Don't get grumpy with me young lady. I'll be back soon. Look after Raven for me okay? Thanks!"
With that she left.
Raven reached out, opening her mouth but not saying anything. Sarada walked up to her. "Hey it's okay. Mom might be kinda all over the place, but she'll come back. Don't worry."
Raven glanced up at her.
"Alright..."
Sarada pushed her glasses up, glancing back at the house. "Seems like I'm going to have to make dinner again. Why don't you help me Raven? It'll be fun."
She offered a hand to the little girl. Raven hesitantly took the outstretched hand, letting Sarada gently pull her into the house. Once inside, Sarada took Raven to the kitchen.
"We're going to make some salad. Since we're running low on other stuff right now."
Raven pointed to the refrigerator.
"Lettuce?" She asked.
Sarada nodded. "Yes that's what we need. Good job Raven."
The little girl opened the refrigerator, staring at all the contents.
"The lettuce is down at the bottom."
Looking down, she saw a head of lettuce. Struggling to pick it up, she lugged it to Sarada. She smiled tentatively.
"Here..."
Sarada took it from her. "Great! Now can you find the tomatoes?"
Raven pattered off towards the refrigerator again.
Sarada watched her go. 'Seems like she's distracted for now. I really hope the total absence of this family doesn't get to her...'
