Saki Haruno - Sasuke's Mystery Child

chapter 11

*They would run the whole day, till the moon came out. They would stop at an inn on their way to spend the night.

Saki – It's late, we should stop and rest for a while, we will start again in the morning

*They would get a room with one bed, Sarada would take the single bed and Saki and Boruto would decide to sleep on the ground in sleeping bags.

Saki – "I would freshen up and then decide to change the bandages on my wound"

*Saki would sit on a chair take out her first aid kit and lift her shirt to see the bandages on her abdomen; she would peel of the bandage and start tending to her wound.

Boruto – Hey, what happened to her "He would say facing Sarada"

Sarada – " She would turn to look at Saki" She hurt herself on a mission we went on two day ago, It was kinda my fault, I should go help her.

*Sarada would walk over to Saki

Sarada – Hey need some help "She bow down to Saki's sitting level"

Saki – I'm good, I don't need your help, just leave and go back to unpacking or whatever you were doing

*Sarada would quietly go back and sit next to Boruto

Boruto – Why do you bother; she is just mean and grouchy even when people want to help her. Anyway, how is it your fault she got hurt?

Sarada – I distracted my dad and to save him from getting hurt she had to take a hit

Boruto – She doesn't seem like a person to care that much about anyone

Sarada – Yeah, I swear if you saw how she acts around my dad you would think she wants to racksack his head from his body

Saki – I do want to do that, but I'm not allowed "I would say sounding disappointed"

Sarada – she heard us "She would say lowering her voice further"

Boruto – But seriously does she hate him more than me

Sarada – For sure, she called him an ill-educated, immature, egoistic person right on his face, I swear I have never seen my dad go that red in anger before.

Boruto – Now I wish I was there to see

Sarada – Oh and there's more, she even called him a big baby

Boruto – Okay, she really hates your father, do you know why though

Sarada - "she would shrug" No not really, honestly, I think she knows something I don't. Also, I think she blames my dad for leaving my mom

Boruto - Why would she, your mom cheated on your dad, he had a right to leave right.

Sarada - I really don't know, and she won't give me a straight answer.

*After a little more small talk Sarada would take the single bed and Boruto and Saki would sleep on the ground in sleeping bags next to each other. They would all drift into sleep

Saki -" I would be in the ever so familiar dark room again but this time I watched myself be tortured; my screams echoed through the halls, and I felt my knees go weak for a moment, I had passed out before the man, his piercing grey eyes looked straight into my soul. Thankfully the moment ended with that death glare." "I would slowly flutter my eyes open" (Thank God this time I didn't wake up screaming, that would have been a mess) "I would sit up and grab my forehead" (The dreams are getting more realistic and frequent every day, I can't take more of this)

Boruto - You awake

Saki - "Surprise would take over my face before registering the intrusion and going back to normal" Why are you up

Boruto - Couldn't sleep, you

Saki - Bad dream "I would say bluntly"

Boruto - What, did the little kid have a nightmare.

Saki - You are so pathetic, I swear looking at you makes me disgusted.

Boruto - Sheesh, what is your problem with me, I did nothing to you "He would whisper yell"

Saki - You really don't know, honestly, I knew you were stupid, but I never would have guessed your head was this empty. "I would say not bothering to lowering my volume"

Boruto - Just tell me would you

Saki - It's because you're ungrateful and so full of yourself. And the self-pity is just the icing on the cake. "I would say in a loud voice with anger seeping through"

Boruto - Shush "He would whisper putting his hand on my mouth" 

Saki - " His hand would cause a memory to flash through my mind, and I would feel a sudden panic rising in my chest" (Calm down, It's just Boruto)

Sarada - Can you two keep it down "She would say groggily"

Boruto - "He would take his hand of Saki's mouth" Come on, get up, we can talk outside 

* He would grab Saki's hand and drag her outside. They would stand outside the door of the room.

Saki - "I would put a hand on my chest slowing my breathing and then focusing on Boruto" (Calm down)

Boruto - Hey you ok (Why is she breathing so heavy)

Saki - Just fine "My breathing would return to normal"

Boruto - Anyway, what do you mean, when have I ever complained without a reason

Saki - God do you really not see it. You always go on and on about how your dad is this and you dad is that and how your life sucks. Well, lots of people have worse lives

Boruto - He's never home and he barely show up, you know that. (Worse lives?)

Saki - So what, the man works more than 17 hours a day, barely sleeps and still makes time to be with his family however scarce it may be, he tries his hardest. He is always there when you need him, and he makes an effort. Yet you still make time to complain.

Boruto - That doesn't change the fact that he missed Hima's birthday.

Saki - He missed one birthday, which he technically attended, and you always had your mother the whole time. I get what he did wasn't right, but you do realize, neither of my parents have even sent me a card let alone attended a birthday of mine. So, after that when I hear you crib about a man who makes that much effort it pisses me of. "I would lose my temper and tears would brim at my eyes"

Boruto - "His eyes would widen" They have never made it to a birthday of yours

Saki - I know you might think it's better to have no father than, have a father like him but let me assure you, that's not true.

Boruto - Saki (Did she really always have that lonely look on her face)

Saki - You have a mother who cares and a father who tries so maybe you ought to appreciate them a little bit. And if you want to spend time with your dad that much, try to make time with him or telling him your problem straight to his face rather than complaining and doing nothing. I can almost assure you he will try harder to be better.

* Saki would leave him with a confused and astounded look on his face and go to sleep.
