Boruto: Dream Escape

Chapter 16: What Was That?!

Later that night Sarada had decided she was going to the bottom of these dejavu days, that kept currently repeating itself . She managed to sneak out her house pretty much as the first time. "What's going on..? Why are the days repeating themselves over and over again..?" Sarada closed the door to her house and locked it before she walked down the street. She took notice of the street lights that were on but a few of them were pretty dim, they were still bright enough for her to see houses and parked cars on the same street as her. Sarada put her hands in her pockets as she walked. "Hmm" she said out loud to herself "I'm sure the days are constantly repeating themselves but I just can't seem to grasp why they're repeating." Sarada raised her left hand up to her face and adjusted her glasses some and this time she managed to prevent her glasses from breaking this time. "Both Boruto, and Mitsuki ahven't noticed a change in time at all.. it's like everything before today doesn't even exist!" She shook her head no three times. "What am I saying? this has to be some brand new genjutsu, that we haven't heard about just yet." She continued walking before realizing the house she was supposed to meet up with Boruto and Mitsuki was only only one block away! Sarada sighed softly with her eyes closed then re-opened them. "Even if this is a genjutsu I'm sure we all would have noticed it." Sarada continued walking with her hands swaying side to side with each step she took. The block she walked on only had that same old house from the first time she was here. "It doesn't look like nothing really changed about this place after all." She started to cross the street but stopped in her tracks,when she noticed a shadow move.

Sarada's eyes quickly shifted over to the right side of the house and stared at it for a moment. 'What was that..?' she thought to herself silently while continuing to watch the right side of the house. "Well, I'm not going to find out anything by standing here completely stiff." she murmured to herself before looking both ways and runs across the street to the side of the house. The right side of the house was nothing but an open lot of grass with tulips sitting in their usual patterns, there was a metal gate closer to the back side of the house as it continued. "Hmm.." she said to herself "Should I go back there?" she hesitated for a second before a dim light blue light flashed through the backyard for a few seconds before vanishing. Sarada silently, swiftly and quickly creeped to the backyard. She peaked around the corner and saw an two car Garage that had been burnt down. The grass is still green and a few bushes had been leafless. She softened her breathing seeing the metal gate also stretched on the other side of the house towards exactly where she was. "Wh-What was that light..?" She took four steps in the backyard cautiously just as the figure came out the Garage by itself. 'I'm sure that's someone..who else could it be..?' the figure was still cloaked itself as it stepped out into the backyard. Sarada quickly ducked back around the right side of the house for a fe seconds as her heart rate managed to increase itself. 'Th-This is very creepy..' Sarada knew she was a ninja but still that didn't mean she wasn't scared at times when things got creepy. "I wonder if that figure noticed me duck behind here." she said in a low whisper to herself rather than out loud for anyone to actually hear her. Sarada kept an eye on the cloaked figure, it wasn't doing anything.

The figure stood there in the center of the backyard by itself. 'What's it doing..?' she thought to herself yet again. The figure didn't move nor budge, it's voice finally came through from it's disguise and it said "It's all clear Traxen-kun." Sarada's raised her right eyebrow at the pitch the voice used and the word "Kun" as well. Another figure walked from the Garage, it wore the exact same disguise as the first one, except this one wore all black with a hood on it's head and it was a bit taller than the first one. "Is it truly clear?" said The figure, the smaller one nodded it's head while standing four feet apart from the one in black. "Of course it is Traxen-kun" Sarada nodded her head while listening. 'The first one's identity is still a mystery to me but the second one is called Traxen-kun.' Traxen gave a final sweep of the backyard before speaking, his voice mellow yet masculine. "Good, the last thing we need is for a rat to spot us." the smaller one kept it's hood one while looking at Traxen, and said, "Yeah. Why did you want to bring me here for anyways Traxen-kun?" Traxen was about to speak when he got a phone ring, he quickly pulled his phone out and answered it. "Hello?" he said. The person on the other end didn't seem happy to speak and says "You idiots! Get back to HeadQuarters a.s.a.p!" Traxen nodded "On our way." He hung up and opened his left hand as a dark portal opened up. He went through it and the small one followed before it vanished right back at them.

Sarada stayed behind the side of the Garage until the coast was clear. She quickly ran in the Garage and checked it out but only to see nothing was in there but old files. Sarada looked around he old dusty Garage before seeing the only things in the Garage were an old tire and a truck but nothing else was in there. "What the.." she said looking at the pavement floor and grey walls. "What the heck did they find in here..?" Sarada took two steps backwards before turning around saying "Whatever it was they were in there for, it's gone." Sarada sighed and looked up at the back of the house windows to see the exact same ghost children from the first time she came here with Boruto and Mitsuki. "Weird.. I thought this place was abanadoned but clearly someone or something lives in here still." She got the cills and says "Hold on! Does this mean Mitsuki was right the entire time?!"
