Chapter I – Goodbye Konoha

We were together for almost six months. It was everything I had ever dreamed of. She was funny, she understood me, she scolded me lots and lots with love and she loved me back unconditionally. Sarada was my treasure and it seemed like it was going to last forever.

But just yesterday my crappy father called me in, telling me he finally had decided to let me travel along uncle Sasuke, in order to train and for the village to have a successor for the job of monitoring Zetsus and Kaguya. How was I supposed to break it to her? That like her father, I would have to abandon her and that if we ever created a family together, I would be absent most of the time… It pissed me off so much!

I was leaving in 5 days, and I still hadn't been able to plan anything. Sarada was aware that something was going on, she had repeatedly asked me since yesterday morning what had happened. I was still at a loss of how to tell her.

We had planned a date tonight, perhaps this was an opportunity to sit down and talk. I tried to calm myself and got dressed in jeans and a tshirt. As I was on my way to our rendez-vous point, some women were staring at me. I grew accustomed to it, after I had lost my childish features, to be looked at like a piece of meat to sexually pleasure. It only made my heart bang when Sarada was looking at me that way, all blushed and hot.

I found her on the bridge, staring at the horizon. She had her long and sleek black hair in a loose bum and wore jean shorts and a baggy white tshirt. We were quite matching. It annoyed me though that her get up even though effortlessly was very sexy, showing her long and creamy legs.

'Didn't I tell you to wear longer clothes?' I pouted.

'Hahaha, don't make me laugh Boruto. I also told you to reduce your handsomeness to a half but you didn't deliver', she said mockingly as she reached to give me a brief peck on the lips.

I wasn't going to be satisfied with just that though, I wanted everyone to know she was mine. So I pulled her closer and sliped my tongue to caress hers, for longer than socially acceptable. She tried to resist but she was loving it, so in the end we were just left breathless with people giving us side way glances.

'I love you', I told her before I could stop myself.

She smiled adorably and replied 'And I love you, idiot. Is this a new plan to have us both ridiculed? Am I going to be remembered as the making out publicly Hokage?'

'I kinda want you to be remembered as the Hokage only Boruto was allowed to touch'

'You're worse than dad really… What am I going to do with two overprotective people?'

Her mention of Sasuke made me think I had sth I needed to tell her.

'What's wrong? Still not telling me why lately you're like someone is about to die? '

I smiled at her.

'I'll tell you eventually. Let's go have fun.'

'Okay…'

Just like that, she did not press further. I knew she had already made some interrogations and the victims were my friends but they resisted her lethal abilities and didn't tell her. She wanted to know so she could help, but she was not going to ask me since I had chosen not to tell her. I even had found that so cute and adorable.

We passed our time going for dinner, walking around some stalls and making out in the park. Our relationship hadn't progressed much further from kissing, just a little bit of touching. I guess it was for the best since I was going away for god knows how long.

In the end I just walked her to her house, we set our sweet goodnights and I was left blaming myself for being a coward. Four more days to go…

The next days were a nightmare. I could not tell her, and I could not be with her while lying to her so I avoided her for another two days, but after that I needed so badly her scent and her touch that I went looking for her at her home.

She responded at the door.

'Well well, look who showed up finally… Must say, not looking better. Come inside.'

I stepped inside and saw she was cooking. She often cooked after turning 15, she was very good at it. I remember me and Mitsuki having her meals and asking for seconds every time.

'Mom has a shift and will be back tomorrow', she said as she moved to the kitchen.

Somehow I even got more scared of settling things, while Sakura would be away. I was not in a position to think straight. Still I had no other choice so I followed her at the kitchen.

'Do you want anything ? '

'No, I'm fine, thanks.' I looked over at her. She seemed a little tired, and I just noticed her leg was covered in bandages.

'Did something happen to you? '

'A mission we went on with Mitsuki was more difficult than expected. But no worries, it is not something important. What about you ? Everyone seems to know sth is wrong and not telling me. Himawari, Mitsuki, all the others. Even mom waited for you to tell me. So what is it?'

I took a deep breath. Thank you everyone for letting me tell her but maybe it was not such a good idea after all…

'Well, the thing is… I am crazy about you. 'I glanced over at her.

Her concerned look turned into a puzzled one as she moved her eyes from the pot she was stirring to me.' Umm thank you but is that it?'

'No, not really. Anyways I love you and I do not want to lose you. But I have to lose you. For your own sake.'

'What?' Now she had stopped stirring.

'I mean I have to go, it's for the village.' It seemed to me that I was speaking a little incoherently but Sarada could always understand me.

'Are you going on a mission like Papa? 'she caught on fast. Well I had told her before I had suggested to my father.

'Yes, I am.'

Finally, I had told her.

'Ok, but that has nothing to do with us. We can stay together.' she pressed and closed the fire and came closer to me, so close.

I had thought about it. Should we stay together? Should I leave her waiting always for a guy that might never appear?

'I don't think it is a good idea. We will grow apart.' I lied. Better for her to be angry and forget me easily. And she did.

Her eyes flashed.

'Do you really think so?'

'Yes, I do. So I have decided we should break up.'

I stood up, ready to run away to everywhere else than this space. I tried to turn without looking at her. But when I heard her call my name 'Boruto…' with a broken voice, so lovingly… I only caught a glimpse of her face and suddenly my mouth was on hers and my hands were all over her body.

She responded instantaneously. She kissed me back like there was no tomorrow, her nails grazed my back, she had glued all her body to mine, afraid I might leave.

'You're killing me', I whispered.

'I need you', she whispered back in a weak voice and that's when I forgot all reason. I grabbed her and lifted her, her legs circling my waist, and as I was kissing her we moved to her room. I let her on the bed, my crotch found the perfect position to press inside her thighs. She moaned like crazy and lifted my shirt. I started biting her face, her neck, her covered still with fabric breasts.

'Boruto', she cried and I could not help myself. I removed her top and her bra and attacked her breasts while still pressing her between her legs. 'Please don't stop'. After I was done with her upper body, I went down while savouring her taste. I removed her panties, and licked her. She was so moist, I could not resist and slept a finger inside her. A jolt came over her body, her breath hitched.

'Oh my god' she said. I started slowly pumping her with two and three fingers and licking her too while my other hand was roaming her body or fondling one of her breasts. I needed to get all of her. She was wimping from need of more, her fingers in my hair and whispering sweet nothings. How I much I loved and needed her too. Why did this have to happen?

In the end I took of my pants, I leaned and kissed her and slowly entered her. It was a dream. We looked at each other and it was a perfect moment. Somewhen along the way tears had started slowly falling off both of us.

'I wish I could be with you forever…' I said while I hated that my voice was trembling uncontrollably.

'You can. You can.'

I started moving and then we were lost in passion…

Next morning, I left her a note, saying 'Sorry'. I went home, packed and left. One day earlier but I couldn't stay anymore. I would find Sasuke in the middle. I knew I had hurt her. And it made me hate myself. But I just couldn't cope with it all.

I just couldn't. If she hated me, that would be better. I wouldn't be thinking that I am losing the greatest thing that had happened to me because of a mission that way. I had lost her because I was a jerk.

And slowly three years had passed and I turned 19. Sasuke said a falcon had arrived and we had to go back to Konoha. How I dreaded this moment. Now I had to see her again. And maybe, maybe, with another guy.

'Okay', I said, like it was nothing to me.

'Okay', he said back.

Let's go.
