Konohamaru x Reader

Chapter Nine

(Reader~Chan's Point of View)

I smiled as I noticed that Konohamaru had fallen asleep. I continued to hum my melody until I decided it as time to stop using my medical jutsu and head home. I stood up by found myself needed to lean on the wall. I must have over done it without even realizing. Leaning against the wall, I looked around for a blanket. The weather was beginning to cool so everyone was bringing blankets out and sure enough, so did Konohamaru. I took the top blanket from a nicely folded pile and placed it on top of him. He was bound to get cold at night if he wasn't covered up. Before I did place the blanket on him, I struggled to place him shirt back on without waking him up. Thankfully he was out cold. I then wobbled my way to the kitchen, that took me a solid minute to find, and pulled out a bag of lose leaf tea from my pouch. I had brought it for him to drink since it was known to have medicinal properties. I guess none he would just have to drink it in the morning. I also pulled out a pen and small piece of paper. I wrote a quick note and decided it was my time to take my leave.

(Konohamaru's Point of View)
~The next morning~

I groaned as I leaned up from my sleep. With my eyes still closed I rubbed the back of my head and yawned. Upon placing my hand down, I felt something soft. I opened my eyes and looked down. The living room blanket? I looked around and realized I was in the living room. It took me a moment before I realized that I must have fallen asleep while (Your name) was taking care of me. I uncovered myself and saw that my shirt was also on. Did she take her time to do all this?

I stood up, folded my blanket to put it back, and headed my way towards my room. I came to a pause when I passed the kitchen and saw something on the counter. I walked towards it and saw a bag with tea in it and note in front of it. It read:

"Echinacea tea is known for boosting the immune system to fight off viruses and infections. Drink up so your wound doesn't get infected. ~(Your name)"

I smiled and grabbed the tea bag. "Whatever she says."

~Small Time Skip: A couple of hours later~

"Boruto! What have I told you about trying to get a higher ranked mission?" I felt my body heat up in aggravation as Boruto went around trying to get a higher ranked mission for himself.

"I know what you're going to say Konohamaru Onii-Chan but I'm tired of chasing lost cats or helping an old woman shop."

"Boruto! We are never going to learn if you always act like this!" My eye nearly twitched as Sarada started to lecture Boruto. They really couldn't get along, could they?"

"Boruto how do you know if you're chasing cats or helping an old woman today if you never actually go receive your mission."

It felt as though my ears had perked up when I heard the sound of (Your name)'s voice approach us. I looked to see her bending down to Boruto's height."

"(Your name) Onee-San." It seemed as though Boruto had rethought his words upon hearing (Your name)'s. "Well..." he placed his hands before his head. "I guess you're right. I never do know. It could be something more interesting today."

"It is because I already checked it out." (Your name) smiled happily.

"Oh!" Boruto's eyes lit up in excitement. "What is it?!"

"Today Team 7 is making a special delivery to the grave of a child. They say the grave is haunted and want it to be checked out today since today is the day he died."

I watched as chills formed on Boruto's spine. "Really?"

"Really! But first we have to go pick up the flowers. There's apparently a lot of them so everyone will have to carry something. Is everyone ready? Konohamaru? Sarada? Mitsuki?"

"Yup." Sarada and Mitsuki replied.

"Alright let's go!" I watched as Team 7 went ahead of (Your name). I decided to wait myself so I could walk beside her.

"Do you really think it's haunted?" I tried to start a conversation with (Your name) while the other three were ahead of us."

"It's not." I felt my facial expression freeze. She lied on purpose? "It's my oldest brother's grave. Today's the day he died and the flowers Team 7 are delivering are all flowers I want taken to the grave. Today's about learning that the small missions they do, are actually important to the one who order them. At least, I'm hoping to teach that them today. I'm glad Naruto even agreed to it earlier. I really want to teach them to appreciate their missions. And of course I want to visit my brother too." (Your name) smiled and I felt a piece of me break.

"(Your name)... I..."

"Anyway... how are you feeling today?" (Your name) quickly changed the conversation.

"Ohhh... yeah... Thanks for everything. Especially the tea. I'm feeling much better." I nervously laughed upon thinking about what (Your name) just told me. "You know... you didn't have to do all that. You didn't even wake me up to let me walk you home."

(Your name) giggled. "I'm just happy to help. If you're feeling better, that's all that matters."

I couldn't even say anything back. My heart just felt crushed for some reason. A part of me felt like (Your name) was secretly hiding a ton of pain.
