Konoha's New Prodigy: A New Path

9

Shinki was furious. He wanted to end the life of Boruto right now. But the fact that he was Himawari's brother stopped him.

Instead, he only push him hard enough against the wall before releasing him. "You're lucky I care more about Hima than you. Otherwise I would've ebded your life here and now."

Boruto was busy catching his breath before looking at him. "Try me.."

"That's enough. Shinki, Boruto control yourselves!" Sarada said while stepping between them. "The last thing Hima-chan needs is to hear you two fight."

Then one of the doctors came out of the room, gaining everyone's attention. "Kazekage-sama."

"Tell us what happened." Gaara said.

"She's stable now, but she made a huge step back with her condition. The sudden stress she felt made her release her power at a huge scale. If we compare the medical reports from her pasts months, she returned to the state that was reported at her second month of treatment."

"Damn it!" Shinki murmured while clenching his fist.

"What can we do to heal her?" Boruto asked.

"Right now, she needs to rest. She'll be here for a few days to prevent any casualties. Then we'll return to the treatment we've been giving her." The doctor replied.

"Can we go see her now?" ChoCho asked with concern.

"Yes, but I recommend you all to be careful."

"Thank you for everything." Kankuro said as the doctor left. Then he turned to Gaara. "We should tell Naruto about this."

"Hn. But first we have to gather more information about what happened." Gaara replied.

"What more information you need?"

"It's not a mere coincidence that she suddenly had this episode right after they came here."

"I see..." Kankuro said in deep thought. "Shall I bring Shikadai to the office tomorrow?"

"This afternoon. The sooner we solve this, the better."

"So who should enter first?" Mitsuki asked.

"Obviously me! I am her brother." Boruto said with confidence.

"No offense Boruto, but she had this episode because of you." Inojin replied.

"So, I am the bad guy now?"

"I think is obvious, you were there when she activated her Tenseigan." Mitsuki added.

"What? Are you going to blame me too?"

"We're not blaming you Boruto. But she hasn't seen us in a long time, and the last time she spoke to you, it didn't ended on good terms." Shikadai explained. "So by all means, the first one to go in is Shinki. She's more used to him than to any of us."

"Shinki?!?!"

"Boruto you can't help it. They're dating!" Chocho said as Boruto crossed his arms.

"Fine. Let him in. But I'll go next!"

Shinki stood silent all this time. He appeared calm but in fact he really wanted to end Boruto's life. He knew something was going on once they arrived, but he couldn't help but to stay silent for Himawari's sake. However, that doesn't mean he can't spy on him.

His mood changed when he entered the room and saw his fiancée. She was  tied up on her bed, her long hair loose and messy.

He mentally cursed the way she was suffering. He knew she didn't like this, to be treated like an animal only because of a monster who made her life a living hell.

She eyed him, "S-shinki.."

"I'm here." He said as he came near her and grabbed her hand. Then he noticed her neck having patterns of someone's hand as if she were strangled.

He managed to hide his rage over her suffering. "You're going to be fine."

"T-that's what they all say. L-lies....over lies.."

"Hima..."

"G-get away from me. You will use me!" She said while feeling her eyes burn.

"What? Hima, it's me! Shinki!" He said as he tried to grab her arms.

"Don't touch me! You're not him! You're a monster!"

"Him?! Hima, what are you talkig about? Listen!" He said as he grabbed her face with his hands and erasing her tears. "Look at me! Look! I am Shinki, your fiancée, your future husband. The one who will do anything for your happiness. Do you understand?"

"No! I hate you! You're not him! You're a lie, leave me alone!!" She said with her Tenseigan activated.

Suddenly, Shinki hugged her. She was still punchin him and trying to stay away from him but the more she tried, the stronger he hugged her.

"Punch me, hate me, curse at me, do everything you want with me...But I made a promise, and I won't give you up. You hear me? I won't give you up!"

Then he felt Himawari start to get calm. He still hugged her but after a while, he started to release her. She was catching her breath as she had her eyes closed. "Hima..."

Then she suddenly opened her eyes and with her power she pushed him away. "Get away from me you monster!"

"Hima!" Gaara yelled as the doctors entered the room quickly to calm her. Himawari's body started to tremble as she screamed in pain. Shinki, and the other members of Konoha watched the scene in terror.

"You need to get out." The nurse said as she reached Shinki.

"B-But.." he protested.

"Listen to her Shinki" Kankuro said. "Let's go."

Shinki nodded before glancing to see Hima one last time.

'What has he done to you?'
