There was darkness everywhere. Every now and then, he could hear water drop. And then, silence. He wandered around, black water around his ankles. And then he heard it. Someone crying.
"Hello?" He called out into the dark as he trudged forward. "Who's there?"
The crying got louder. The familiar tone made a chill run down his back. "S-Sarada?" He choked out.
The crying was intensifying. Farther up north, he saw a small body, curled up and all alone. He saw the Uchiha insignia stitched at the back of her shirt.
"Sarada!" He yelled as he ran towards her. He kept on running, but he wasn't coming closer. In fact, it appeared he was going farther. Her sobs filled his ears and sent crippling sensations to his chest. Her agony was all too real to him as he continued to run.
The crying stopped which brought him relief, but Sarada stood up and started walking away. He felt even more desperate to reach her now.
"Sarada, wait!" He screamed. She did not. She kept on walking away. She walked and walked until he was all alone in the dark again.
Boruto shot up. His shirt was drenched in sweat. He tried to even out his breaths, as he placed a hand on his head. It was still dark out. "It was just a dream," he muttered. "I just had a bad dream."
"That seemed all too real to me," a voice said by his door.
Boruto whipped his head to face the person. Naruto stood by the frame, arms crossed in front of his chest. "You've been screaming Sarada's name for nearly ten minutes."
Boruto scowled. He did not need a lecture from his father right now.
"It's been a month since she left," Naruto said. "What have you done since then?"
"Shut up, old man!" Boruto bit out.
Naruto's gaze hardened. "What? You're just gonna give up?"
"Of course not!" Boruto yelled. "No way I'll give up on Sarada."
Naruto grinned. "Good!"
"What?" He was dumbfounded.
"I was about to disown you if you said you've had," he smirked. He tossed a scroll over to Boruto, who caught it with ease.
"What's this?"
"Your mission. Pack your bags. You're going to Ame."
A/N: Shortie. I'll have the next update up before I go to bed today. What do you think is going to happen next? Will Boruto get Sarada to forgive him? If so, whatchu think he gonna do? *smug face* hihi. Tell me all about it when you leave a review!
