23. "Under The Moon and Stary Sky"

Chocho and Sarada stood outside the ICU while Himawari sat there, crying. Mitsuki had just came back from Sumire's room. "Her condition is bad too." He informed, to which, even more sobs were heard from Himawari.

Sarada went to her and put her hands on her shoulder. "Hima, have hopes. They will be fine!" She said wiping Himawari's tears.

"But- but doctors say their condition is critical!" Himwari sobbed. Boruto approached them along with Inojin. Sarada signalled Chocho to take care of Himawari and went to Boruto.

"We didn't find anyone else there." Boruto informed. "Shikadai is working on it with some other people." He added and Sarada nodded.

"How's Kawaki?" Inojin asked.

"His condition is the worst. His head had gotten a big hit. Doctor said that either he would lose his memory or would fall into a coma." Sarada explained with tears whelming up in her eyes.

"It's gonna be alright, Hima." Boruto saw Chocho pating Himawari's head.

"We gotta find the person."

Sumire opened her eyes and found herself in a hospital bed. She got up with her head aching badly. She looked around and found Inojin putting flowers in a flower pot beside her bed.

"Ino-jin..." Sumire whispered making him snap his head towards her. "Where- am I?" She asked.

"Don't worry- just lay down." Inojin made her lay back and called Sarada who was sitting outside. "It's alright." He added.

Sarada, who had just barged in, ran to Sumire with tears already leaking out of her eyes. "You scared us!" She said hugging her.

"Sarada... what happened?" Sumire asked.

"You don't- you don't remember?" Sarada asked as she broke the hug and wiped her tears. Sumire shook her head lightly. While Inojin called a nurse. "You were out for two days." Sarada whispered.

"Sumire!" Kawaki yelled as he ran to her.

Sumire felt him pushing her away. And BOOM a huge bomb exploded.

"K-Kawaki..."

"Sarada! Where's Kawaki?!" Sumire burst.

"Don't worry, Sumire. He- he's in another room. He's doing alright-" Sarada got cut off by Sumire sitting up with a jolt.

"No! He's not alright! I-I saw him laying there in his blood!" She yelled as a waterfall of tears escaped her eyes. "Where is he?!"

"Ma'am, please calm down!" The nurse gave Sumire water but she refused to even look at it. "You need to tell her the truth." The nurse said to Sarada making Sumire even more anxious.

"He's in... ICU. But! But he will be alright- don't worry!"

"Oh no... it's all becauss of me!" Sumire cried with her face in her palms. "Only if I hadn't fallen into that trap!"

"Inojin, call Chocho and Hima." Sarada ordered while he ran out of the room. "Sumire. It is not your fault."

"What are you doing here all alone?" Boruto asked as he approached Sarada who was standing on the roof staring at the stary sky.

Sarada's head jolted towards him. She sighed. "You scared me." She said as Boruto stood beside her. "Nothing much. Just- standing..." She replied.

"He's going to be alright." Boruto spoke. "That airhead is strong." The karma had gone but Kawaki is still strong as ever. Even without his karma.

Silence filled the atmosphere untill some sobs were heard. Boruto looked at Sarada and panicked. "Why are you crying?"
