Boruto?" "Hmm.." "Is there any universe in which......we end up happy... together?"
****** She was jolted awake - drenched in cold sweat. She was still in her shanty room. Alone. The winter sun stood frozen in the barren sky. The snow had covered the forbidden land around her. The lake was frozen into a thin ice. White and gloomy. Monotonous. Like every winter day of December.
Something wasn't right.
The dead birds were too quiet. The lifeless trees were too bleak. The snow around her was too white. She paced towards the corner and looked out of the big window of her shelter. Her breath hitched. Something was terribly wrong. " Uchiha Sarada" a familiar guttural voice addressed her. She froze. The chilly wind hit her face. She never turned to address the voice behind her. She just stood there like a statue craved out of the sturdy ice.
She looked on the snow laden ivory ground- only for her worst nightmare to be proven right. The ivory snow below was stained with hint of crimson blood- in shape of webbed feet.. The world around her spun- as it blurred into oblivion. No... No... No...
" Uch.." Suddenly, she felt her feet work on their own accord . No sooner did she jumped out of the window than her trembling legs found the laden ground. " HEY GIRL! IT'S DANG.."
She let the warning voice fade into lifeless oblivion- as she followed the crimson stains- that led her towards the bleak fallen forest. " BORUTO!!!!" She screamed his name- So loudly that it shattered the silence around. She felt her heart race in her rib cage- threatening to break it open. The world around her blurred; as her eyes and cheeks stinged with hot salty tears.
She screamed his name again - and again- again- in utter desperation-and pain; waiting for an answer but no avail. She tried to follow the red stains and the disturbing screeching silence - to reach the unknown.
To reach to him Boruto.
Each fading moment felt like screaming pain- and utter terror; of a nightmare coming slowly to life. Where her feet gave up and voice broke before she could reach him.. Where it was too late; Where he had slipped away from her- Only for his blood to remain on her hand.
Her own blood ran cold. No... No... No... "BORUTO!!!" She screamed for the thousandth of time- as she finally reached a clearing in the midst of the bleak lifeless forest. ****** "What is your worst nightmare Boruto?" "Huh?" " Don't you dare lie to me Baka.." They were 12- she remembered. Too young; too naive.
The girl halted. It was not a great time to nag the blonde boy in front of him. But it couldn't go on like this.. Hiding- Keeping things to himself. He was too young for this.
And yet he was going through it all alone.
She took a deep breath as she sat beside him- on his bed. The sky in front of her was dark - with just a moon dimly lit - trying to lighten up the sky but no avail.
" My worst nightmare..." " Hmm?" ".... is where I kill you" Her onyx eyes met his electric blue ones. " What is your worst nightmare ,Sarada?"
******
This.. This was her worst nightmare.
Where his crimson blood pooled below her feet- like the petals of full bloomed red rose. Where he lay in midst of it all -unchanging.
That was her worst nightmare that she was reliving right now. In real life.
Her heart stopped. She forgot how to breathe- as she saw the heinous scene from her worst nightmare come to life. Just in front of her. No wonder her feet gave away- as she fell knees down- crawling in the dirty crimson blood towards. Desperate and terrified. She held the wounded blonde in her arms- his head on her lap. The blood that had marred her hands- and tainted the snow beneath her dripped slowly from his wounded abdomen.Her bloodied hand shook as she tried to focus her healing chakra on his marred abdomen.
" What were you thinking?"
He said no words..
Just a smirk.
Eyes closed on her lap, he lay. Her freezing body kept getting warmed up from his oozing blood. Wherein her eyes heated up all red with burning tears. She continued to emit green light from her dirty palm. No sooner did she start than her tears fall- mixing with his thick crimson fluid.. " Sarada.." Sobs.. " Sarada..no" Sniffs.. "Sarad..Sarada- chan" he teased - as he felt the blood on the corners of his mouth crystallise. "BA..." before the words left her mouth completely, she was pulled down into a tight embrace of a pair of strong familiar arms. And so there they lay; their silence adorning the abandoned fallen forest around them. Their bodies mingling in the pool of dirty frozen blood.
His cracked lips on the tip of her frostbitten ear. They lay. " Sarada, I love you"
