Borusara Oneshots

Reign Pt 3

Sarada went back into her chambers to find a cloak to keep her warm. It was sunny earlier, but the wind came and it brought chills. She opened the door to find a woman admiring herself in the mirror.

The woman looked back to find the Queen staring at her in surprise. She bowed her head, "I'm so sorry your grace this is inappropriate of me."

"Is that my dress?" Sarada pointed.

"Yes, I'm so sorry my queen-
The woman paused, she felt like she was on fire. She shrieked a terrifying scream and started pulling on her skin.

"What's happening?" Sarada asked in a panic.

"Stay back! The dress....POISONED!" The woman yelled.

"Guards!!!" Called Sarada. She looked around to find any but there were none in sight. She ran out of the room calling for help.

Boruto, Naruto, and others flooded the room behind Sarada. But she came back and the room was empty.

"No, she was right here!" She claimed

The guards started to look around the room. Some went down to the hallways to search. "How could she have gone? I only left for a minute!"

Boruto put a hand behind her lower back, "Sarada, where were your guards?"

"Guards? I-I...there were none"

He furrowed his eyebrows, "There were no guards to accompany you? You were alone?"

"I mean I didn't really think about it"

Boruto put a reassuring hand in her shoulder. "Don't worry, we'll find the woman. For now you should join your ladies. I'll take care of it."

He walked with his father down the hall, discussing the strange occurrence that just took place.

"It was the nobleman from last night." Accused Boruto

"We can't prove it was him, not until we find the servant's body. I've confided in the counsel. They are discussing the punishment IF he is behind this"

"You're not going to do anything are you?"

"I didn't say that."

"So what? You're just going to keep her here like some acquisition? A weapon we might never use?"

Naruto straightened and squinted his eyes, "Alliances ARE weapons."

"Her life is at risk over an alliance we may never honor" Boruto took a deep breath and broke his eye contact, "End it. Let her go."

Naruto chuckled at his naive son, "Her life is always at risk. Why do you think her mother came to us when she was only 6? Her mother doesn't want her back in her country unless she comes with a king for a husband."

"But-

"She's NOT going anywhere." His father pressed.

Boruto had enough of his father. An attempt on her life had already taken place in the castle. It hasn't been a week and she's already gone through something traumatic. He knew she wasn't safe here. He didn't want her to be in danger over a stupid alliance his father so badly needs.

"She's only a girl under YOUR care. But that doesn't matter to you does it?"

His father gave a smirk, "I'm intrigued by how much she matters to you. All this worry for a girl you claim you don't want to marry." His words had put an end to the conversation as Boruto couldn't find the words to respond.

Dammit, what is going on with him?

It was nightfall and Sarada was in the hallway with her ladies. Boruto came down the hallway and Sarada went to join him to find any new information.
