my enemy

Ch.17

sarada was in hesitation,if to ask him about sumire or not. he went to the kitchen to bring something to drink, and she decided to ask him once he come back.

He backed with two glasses of apple juice, he handed her the glass and she thanked him. "Boruto" she started gathering the courage to continue, "can I ask you something?" she asked him,putting the glass on the table, he said "sure" with that melting smile of him.

"Ah, mitsuki told me about sumire" she started, she noticed the change in his expression upon hearing sumire's name, "what exactly did he tell you" he breathed, 'what's he scared from', she wondered, "That she's dead, and that I should ask you about her" she told him, "sara..".

"It's okay, I can tell from your face that you don't want to talk about it" she cut him, very annoyed that the man she put her life in danger for, can't tell her his past with a girl, he seemed to noticed that change in her expression too, they have reached the level where they would understand each other from one look.

And still how can he find it difficult to tell her about sumire,No, he doesn't just feel it difficult, by now he would throw himself in her arms and tell her his deepest secrets, He is afraid from her reaction.

she could stay away from him like others, he groaned at just thinking about that, "Boruto, what's wrong?" she asked him grabbing his hand, 'Ahh I can't resist that soft tone of yours, sarada'.

That tone that she barely show, only for the ones she deeply care about, "It's just.., No, I need to tell you" he took a deep breath, his eyes show how serious he is, "Sumire was my childhood friend, like shikadai and the others, she also was from the border, I liked her, I liked how she sometimes resemble my mom in kindness and others be a badass girl" he was talking about her, like he is remembering something from yesterday, something he never forget.

sarada felt her heart ache a little, would he talk about her also like that someday, she thought, and that was the first time Uchiha sarada feels jealous, jealous from a dead girl.

"Her dad wasn't a good father, he didn't care about her, he only cared about his revenge on the uzumaki clan, and Sumire wanted to get his approval, so she did exactly what was asked from her" he put his head in his hands trying to calm himself, "I don't know so much details, dad kept everything secret, but I know that I waked up someday and there was an attack on our clan" he continued.

"I remember that too,but I was young, maybe 11, I remember my dad and my mom arguing, mom wanted to go and help the injured-uzumaki people but dad was scared that something would happen to her and he isn't there" sarada told him, and then let him continue, " yes, we were 11 at that time, I tried to stop her, and I really successed at that, but she know the elders wouldn't let her go, so she went to the tree and let it absorbs her chakra,that how she di.." he trilled.

she put her hand on his back to comfort him, "It's okay, it was her choice, you did what you could" she told him, feeling guilty for making him remember that pain again, it's very hard to lose someone you care about, especially if you're just a kid, he hold her hand looking in her eyes, she could see how his eyes show his emotions very clearly, fear, trust, determination and love.

"you don't know how I felt when I saw you in that condition, like you were dead, that this tree took from me someone I care about again,and I couldn't do anything for you too" he told her what he truly felt, her heart was beating very fast by now, he is the only one who can make it beats that way, "but you did, you saved me" she smiled at him, her smile would make him forget everything and just stare at that lips.

"What about we fight, I don't know if Sumire is that strong, but I'm sure I can kick your ass" she offered him, that smirk of her challenging him, "I did said that Sumire was strong but she couldn't beat me, nor could you" he fired back.

"let's see,uzumaki" she said.
