The Moon & His Sun

Saved!

  My eyes widened as I saw who the 4 people were.

  My dad, Mom, Sarada, and...Mitsuki.

  I was so glad to see them all! I couldn't help but smile wide, knowing they'd get me out of this mess, and I could go home.

  "Boruto!" I heard my dad yell as he met my eyes.

  I almost felt like I was going to cry in relief.

  "Dad!!"

  I saw them all smile at me in relief, seeing me awake and with no serious injuries visible.

  Just as they started to walk up to me, I felt my heart drop.

  As if it was all happening in slow motion, one of the goons wrapped their arms around my form before weaving hand signs, conjuring concentrated electricity into their hand.

  Everyone stopped in their tracks as I looked at the man now holding me hostage with wide eyes, terrified for my own wellbeing.

  "If any of you come any closer, I won't hesitate to end this kid's existence right here!!"

  I could only stiffen at that as I looked away and faced my loved ones with fear; pleading for them to help me.

  "Let him go! He's just a kid. His life's just beginning, and he has so much ahead of him," my dad said pleading with the man, "If you do this, there will be no going back, he won't come back if you seriously hurt him. Imagine what his loved ones will feel, including me, his father..."

  I started to get emotional with the words my father was saying.

  Cause honestly...

  I knew they were true.

  I knew he loved me.

  He was just busy with work, trying to provide for us.

  His family.

  And I was being a stubborn teenager and didn't see it.

  I guess I just missed having my dad around.

  "Surely you know how it feels to lose someone close to you, do you not?"

  At this I gelt his grip loosen. My dad was starting to get to him!!

  "I...yes. I do. I lost my whole family during the 3rd Great Shinobi War...," the man stated.

  Honestly, I felt kinda bad for him...

  "I'm sorry...," I let out before looking back up at him, "I'm sorry you had to go through that. I know lose can be hard, but we all have to deal with it as humans. I mean...I lost someone very special to me who I haven't even met yet a few days ago and I miss them so much, it hurts...," I started to tear up a little before going on, "It's funny how you can miss someone you never met, nor even seen their face, isn't it? But lose is what makes us stronger as we grow. We learn from it, please don't let that grief control you. It can swallow you whole and before you know it, you'll do something you'll regret and won't be able to go back and fix it or redo it."

  He looked at me with something along the lines of understanding and sadness as he started to let go of me.

  I smiled up at him softly as I began to back away out of his hold, before in the corner of my eyes, I saw my dad charging at the man.

  I felt my heart drop as I began to move before I could register it.

  I got in between them and as I did, I saw the man's face change from its previous expression to one now filled with fear and anger and...regret?

  "No! Wait! Don't--"

  I was cut off as I felt something hit me hard in my left side under my ribcage.

  I fell to the ground in pain and I knew everyone was looking at me.

  "Boruto!!" I heard Mitsuki's voice echo through the building before I saw him come to my side.

  He gently sat down next to me before lifting me up into his arms.

  His expression was filled with fear as he looked at me.

  The pain in my side was so intense, yet I didn't really feel it at the same time. Maybe it was adrenaline?

  He was putting his hands over what I'm guess was my wound, probably trying to apply pressure to stop the bleeding.

  I saw my mom and Sarada looking at me with sadness and fear.

  'Wait...when did they get over here?'

  Soon after, I saw my dad come to my side after he was done tying up the man, which I'm presuming.

  "Boruto?!"

  He quickly took off his jacket and tightly tightened it around my body as Mitsuki took his hands of the wound. I looked over at him to see his eyes filled with tears.

  "Mi-- *cough* Mitsuki..."

  He startled and quickly shushed me, "Don't talk, save your energy til' we can get you help ok, my sun?"

  "I- I'm gonna be ok. Ok?"

  He nodded as he caressed my cheek, to which I smiled.

  "Now wipe that sad look off your-- *cough* *cough* --face."

  "Ok," He said as he gently picked me up, "Now rest until we get to the Konoha Hospital."

  I hummed gently in reply as we made our way to the hospital.
