Beep...Beep….Beep...Beep… 'What's that noise?'

Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep. 'It's getting faster… where have I heard it before? Why's it so quiet? Why's it so dark?'

It took a couple seconds for him to recall everything that had happened. 'Oh… My eyes must be closed…' He thought as he opened his heavy feeling eyelids.

A white ceiling met the boy's eyes. 'Where am I?'

He sat up but regretted as the whole world around him started spinning. "Whoaaaa!" He felt like he was gonna barf, but didn't as an even greater pain overtook him.

His hand was stinging like crazy. 'Damn! My hand hurts!' The boy saw the bandage wrapped tightly around his palm, and decided to try and sit up. Big mistake.

The world was rotating like crazy again, this time so badly that he could hardly see anything. 'I feel like I'm gonna…' Boruto could feel it coming up his throat. 'Crap!' He completely ignored all the wires and medicines plugged into his body and shot up from the bed.

As he tried to stand up, he realised how weak his body was, cuz his legs didn't seem to want to stand up. A long-drawn BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPP was heard in the background. The boy had been hooked up to a heart rate monitor, which he had pulled out as he got out of the bed.

The whole world was spinning, all noises and images being combined to one large blur. ' Dang it.. I'm not gonna make it I'm gonna-!'

The door shot open as three nurses came rushing into the room, including his aunt Sakura. "Boruto! What the hell do you think you're doing!?" Someone yelled. He couldn't hold it in much longer.

"Sakura! He looks pale!" The girl looked over at the boy. "He's gonna throw up! Get the trash can quickly!" Sakura ordered. The medical ninja did so, and Boruto could finally let it all go, without worrying about throwing up on the floor.

"What are you doing out of bed?" His aunt looked strictly at the boy, the strong taste of puke still in his mouth. "I...Sorry" Was all he managed to say, as he felt his throat starting to burn. The kunoichi sighed as she grabbed the little boy, carrying him back into bed, replugging all of the wires he had just pulled out one by one.

One of the other medical ninjas placed a damped towel on his forehead, and then it hit the boy on how hot his little body was. "Temperature's 103." A voice he didn't recognize said. "Get him some antibiotics." His aunt ordered.

His breathing started getting heavier, as the world that was still spinning around him started looking blurry. "Sakura! His fever and heart rate are shooting through the roof!" "What!?" "His consciousness is slipping away!" Another distant voice yelled.

He could see a blurry figure standing before him, which looked like his aunt. She seemed to be performing medical ninjutsu on him, but he wasn't sure anymore.. "Boruto! Boruto! Boruto stay conscious! Boru-!" And then there was darkness..

Uzumaki family's POV:

The three family members were currently sitting outside of room 203, which was the room Boruto was currently in. They weren't allowed to enter as the little boy hadn't regained consciousness yet.

They had already waited the whole night, medical ninjas going in and out of his room on an hourly basis. Naruto stared at the clock on the wall. "It's almost 6 am already, huh?.." He mumbled to himself.

Hinata and Himawari were soundly asleep, clinging closely onto one another. However, Naruto couldn't get a single seconds rest. Not before he saw his son - alive, awake and unharmed.

Sakura came walking over to the family, some of her staff closely behind her. "Naruto… I know you're worried for him, but you need to take care of yourself. If you stress yourself out any more, you're gonna be the one ending up in the hospital." She assured the Hokage.

"Thanks, Sakura, but I'll be alright… I can't abandon him, not in a time like this, you know?" He said in a tired voice. He looked like he could pass out at any moment. The kunoichi stared worriedly at her old teammate.

A loud beeping noise was then heard. Sakura immediately recognized it. "Miss Sakura! The patient!" One of her subordinates yelled. "I know! You two come with me NOW!" The three of them rushed into Boruto's room in a flash.

Naruto listened in terror as he heard screams from the inside like: "He's looking pale! His fever and heart rate are shooting through the roof! His consciousness is slipping away! Boruto! Boruto! Boruto stay conscious! Boruto stay with us!" And a long-drawn BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPP.

A nurse came rushing out of the room, and three other nurses came running into the room. "Excuse me! What's happening!?" He asked one of the nurses that came racing by.

"Lord Hokage! It seems the boy's fever has reached dangerous heights! Miss Sakura is doing her very best. Now if you will excuse me, I've been asked to bring some strong antibiotics!" She said bowing quickly before rushing off.

"Daddy…" Naruto felt someone squeezing his leg tightly. He looked down to see his youngest child in tears. He bent down and saw her deep into the ocean blue eyes. The tears pressed their way out on his little sunflowers face, as she embraced him in a tight hug, crying tears of worry.

Naruto didn't know what to say to her, so he ended up just hugging her back, making sure she could get all her feelings out, as the little child she was. After all, he was an adult. He had to be strong. Strong for his family. (Meant as in both physical family and the village.)

Somewhere in the hidden leaf mountains, the night before:

"But that's…" Sasuke mumbled to himself. The little girl was hugging his legs tightly while constantly repeating the word "papa", over and over. He stared confused at the little girl. "Question. How old are you?" He asked. "Me? I'm six years old!" She said as she looked up with tears in her eyes.

"...Then it's not possible." Sasuke said. "Huh? What do you mean papa?" She asked. "I've been on a long-term mission for nearly twelve years, you can't possibly be her. So tell me. Why did you say your name was Sarada Uchiha, my daughter's name?" He asked.

"I…" The little girl stuttered. "Well?" The large Uchiha stared at Sarada with terrifying eyes. "I'..." She said slowly backing away. "Who are you really?" Sasuke asked. She started crying. "I'm sorry but I've told you the truth! My name is Sarada Uchiha! My mom is Sakura Uchiha and my best friend is Boruto-baka!" She yelled desperately.

"If you're really her, then explain this," Sasuke said as he held up a weird red blob. (She still couldn't see clearly, and therefore that's what it looked like to her.)

Sarada pinched her eyes that were still in tears, but she couldn't see what it was. "I… I don't know what it is." She said. "These belong to her. I found just by the bottom of the mountain. So tell me. Where is she?" Sasuke asked.

Sarada could see his eyes started glowing red, but she couldn't make out why. She couldn't even speak anymore. She was so terrified. She curled into a little ball and started whining like a spoiled brat. "I'm Sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm so very sorry!" She said among her whining.

"I can't see... I lost my glasses. I'm sorry... I'm so sorry!" She said. The girl didn't dare to look up. She was too terrified of what the powerful adult was gonna do. She was expecting a hit at any second but was surprised when nothing happened.

"Look at me." The deep voice said. The little girl slowly lifted her head. "Those eyes…" He heard him say... "Those are not the eyes of a liar." He said. He bent down to be her height and placed his hand on her chin.

The little girl was still too terrified to do anything, so she just sat there, waiting for anything to happen. She heard him raffling with something, and shortly after she felt something being placed on her face.

"It's alright now. You can open your eyes. I won't harm you" The voice said. As she opened her eyes, the world suddenly became clear. "I..I can see.!" She exclaimed. "Sarada… it really is you." Sasuke said as he looked at the girl.

"Of course it is papa!" Sarada was so relieved. Her eyes were full of tears, but this time not of sadness or fear, but of joy. She looked at his face. "You have a pretty face papa." She exclaimed as she finally saw his face in full detail.

Sasuke looked surprised by her comment as he blushed lightly and then gave her a nice soft smile. He stood up again, waiting for her to do the same.

Sarada tried to follow, but as she stood up, she felt her legs getting weaker. "Sarada? your face is looking flushed. Are you alright?" Sasuke asked. "Papa…" The girl said weakly as her legs collapsed underneath her.

"Sarada!" In a flash, Sasuke was behind his daughter, catching her before she hit the ground. She was panting, and the sweat was streaming down her incredibly red forehead. "It must be the cold weather.."

Sasuke picked up the weak girl and was for once in his life happy for the emergency medical training Sakura had forced him to do. "It's...cold papa.," Sarada said in between heavy breaths.

Sasuke tucked the little girl even tighter into his jacket that she was already wearing. 'It's no use… even though she's tucked in, and right beside the fire she's still too cold…' Sasuke thought. 'And it's storming too much for me to make it back to the village…'

Sasuke sighed. "Papa...what are you…" The girl asked as she could barely keep her eyes open. Her dad removed the jacket she had borrowed, sat down right beside her and held her TIGHT, and then he tucked the jacket around them both again. "Don't worry. I'll keep you warm. Promise." He said as the little girl smiled. She could feel her consciousness slipping away.

'This isn't good… I can only do as much right now, but I need to head out as soon as it stops storming, or the fever will become a problem." He stared at his sleeping princess.

"Goodnight Sarada." He said, knowing she was the only one who would actually be sleeping. It was almost as if he could hear her say: "Night papa…", even though she was unconscious.
