Chapter II – Secretly: Boruto II

They were in the middle of sparring when Sasuke-oji-san suddenly appeared. Sarada's cry of 'papa!' startled him out of his stance as Kagome-ba-chan turned away from him to speak with Sasuke.

Boruto stood, staring. He crossed his arms and furrowed his brows as a permanent frown began to form on his face. Sarada moved off to stand beside him and he missed the disappointed look that appeared on her face as her papa completely ignored her.

There was one thing he never quite got between Sasuke-oji-san and Kagome-ba-chan. Outside of missions, they never spoke more than a single word to each other, even going so far as to actively avoid one another. In fact, Kagome-ba-chan always got a funny look on her face every time Sasuke-oji-san was mentioned. But during missions they were considerably professional, and a lot of the older Shinobi said they were the best together. But he had this funny feeling that formed at the pit of stomach every time the older Shinobi was around. He didn't like it.

Even now, seeing Kagome and Sasuke speaking quietly to one another made him uncomfortable.

Gah! It made his mood sour and worsen.

"You're so predictable."

Scowling, he turned angry blue eyes to Mitsuki and really couldn't stand the knowing smirk on his abnormally pale face. "What the hell are you talking about?!"

"Oh, nothing. It's just, your feelings are quite transparent when it comes to Sasuke-san and Kagome-san." Mitsuki replied, smiling eerily. "Did you know, they used to date? Sarada doesn't like to talk about it but it's true~"

Boruto sputtered, clenching his hands into fists. Something bad settled inside his chest and he didn't know why, but he suddenly felt sick to his stomach.

Was he? Could he be. . .jealous?
