Mr. Mysterious




-Boruto Uzumaki POV-


—————————————————————————————————————————————————


I place the letter on her window and hoped for the best when she reads it. I knock on her window and run over to my house. When I get inside my mom asked from the kitchen,"How did it go?"


"We'll find out tomorrow," I answered her. Mom nodded thoughtfully. I smile and remember when she was helping out with this.


— Flashback Begins—


"Boruto, I know you're preoccupied with something or someone", she says to me, standing in the doorway of my room.


"Mom, I'm fine", I assure her, typing on my laptop.


"Oh, really?", she says with a raised eyebrow.


"Yes, Mom, why do you keep on asking me?"


Well, I've had my fair share at young love."


I stop typing and look at her as if she said something in a foreign language. I do know who she's talking about though; Sarada Uchiha, a girl from my class. I say, espaserated,"Mom, I don't like or love Sarada."


"Well, I could spot some things that you and Sarada have in common, like how you both look at your dads the same way; not being there and since she doesn't have any siblings, then you're probably like a annoying brother to her."


I sigh, I guess my mom will never give up on this,"Fine, all I think of her is that she's pretty. That's it."


"Well, good then, I hope that you find the right poem for her", my mom walked out and went down stairs. I look at my seaches and decide that I would go with my original plan.


—End Flashback—


It's late and so I call it a night and go to bed. I close my eyes and let sleep take over right away.


—The Next Day—


I wake up woozily and got out of bed, got dressed , and got ready for the day. When I'm all done, I go downstairs where my mom has already put down eggs, bacon, and buttered toast. I wolf it all down and say a thanks to my mom. I go out the door and jump from building to building in a attempt not to be late.


-Sarada UchihaPOV-


I sigh, Boruto's going to be late again, I thought. The acadamey starts at 8:00 and it's 7:58, what a idiot. He probably forgot to set his alarm clock. Then, I hear thundering footsteps and barging into class is Boruto. I mutter under my breath,"Finally not late huh, Baka."


"What was that Teme?!", he says.


"You're finally not late, let's see if you can keep it up", I tease him.


"Well, to explain it to you, I got stuck in traffic", he responds.


"Okay, what ever, but I need to tell you all some thing."


"What?" Inojin asks.


"I have, weirdly a secret admirer", I said and pulled out the note.


It read:


"This goes out to the most beautiful girl that I saw the other day, she had me sliping and she had me falling for her right away.


- "Your Name", by Charlie Puth


"Huh, well it sounds like Mr. Mysterious is a fan of Charlie Puth", Inojin said.


I look at Boruto, he's taking notes. Wait, Boruto doesn't ever take notes. I think to myself, Boruto never takes notes.


-Boruto POV-


I hear Sarada telling the others about the note that I gave her. So since I'm done taking notes, I go over there and join the conversation,"So what's up guys?"


"Could you help us out with this song", Inojin said.


I took the note and said,"Hmm. Well let me show you the song." I pulled out my IPod and put on "Your Name", by Charlie Puth, we listen to the song all the way through and then Sarada says to me,"Thanks Boruto, I'll tell you if there's anymore notes."


I nodded and pulled out my fortune cookie and ate it. Though I dropped the slip of fortune and it floated inside Sarada's bag.


"Sarada can I get my fortune cookie out of your bag?", I ask her.


"Hm", she turns to me,"Oh, yeah sure Boruto".


I get down and reach over for my fortune cookie. The Summoning Seal is still on the back of the wrapper, so I fold around the seal and read it. A typical fortune cookie answer so I just throw it away.


-Sarada POV-


I arrive home, exhausted from chasing Boruto around all day, telling him to be more considerate of his teamates and yelling at him. I empty out my bag and a note flutters to the ground. I pick it up, hoping that it would be by him. I open it gingerly and read it, he wrote:


I hope you like this by the way. I hope I can say hi to you one day. -BU


Hm? "BU"? Why? I flip it to the back side and there's... a rose. I'm starting to get really curious now.


-Inojin Yamanaka-


I arrive at my mom's flower shop, mystified at this guy. If he really likes her then he should've just told her face to face instead of sending her notes.


"Inojin, Boruto came by for a rose by the way for a rose, he was in a hurry", my mom said. What?! Then it's definitely Boruto then, I saw the Summoning Seal on the back of the wrapper. Hmph, tricky Boruto is actually using his tricks to be mysterious. Hmm, Boruto Uzumaki and Sarada Uchiha, that would be some legendary decendage. Good luck Boruto, you two make a good couple.


-Boruto POV-


The next day, I wake up early and get ready. I was going to change my attire for missions. When I was done, I went to the ANBU center. I said,"Boruto Uzumaki, Team 7".


The guy behind the counter said,"10,000 yen for it".


I hand him 10,000 yen and get the suit. It has amour under the thick, but light cloth and I get a sword in a scabbard.


Once I'm at home, I hang the ANBU suit in my closet. I go down stairs and out the door. As I go outside, I see Sarada on her way to the acadamey. I smile and greet her,"Hey, can I walk with you to the acadamey?"


"Sure", she responds.


"You wanna go to Ichirku's Ramen?", I ask.


She smiles and says yes. She asks me,"Oh, yeah, who's paying?"


"Me, Teme", I say to her.


She looks at me in suprise, usually somebody else pays for me.


-Sarada POV-


Boruto's paying?! This is not the Boruto I know. The Boruto I know would be that he would ask, then join you. Boruto, what's gotten into you, I thought.


"Sarada!", he shouts.


"What?!", I ask annoyed, then I look ahead of myself, it's a pole. I mentally kick myself, I was about to run into a pole because I was thinking about Boruto. I smile apologecally at him, he smiles at me; he forgives my sudden outburst.


We arrive at Ichakru's a few minutes later, Boruto finds two seats stationed right next to each other and calls out to the waitress,"Two Miso-Ramen please!"


"Coming right up, Boruto!", says the waitress.


-Boruto POV-


To me, I usually go here. I sit next to Chocho's dad to my left, Sarada sits next to me and no body sit next to Sarada to her right. The Miso-Ramen comes then, hot, steaming bowls of ramen.


I munch and slurp down noisily. I notice Sarada staring at me in distain. She says,"Really Boruto? Have more manners!"


I scowl,"You're always telling me what to do!"


"That's because you're so inconsiderate about people, me, Team 7!", she fires back, but she sees the hurt in my eyes of what she said; it's my dream to protect her and make sure she becomes Hokage. Though, we're both glaring daggers at each other. Then Chocho's dad laughs and bumps into me and the thing that goes through my mind while shock replaces my face is that I'm dead, I'm going to be dead. While this is going through my mind, I can't believe that we're at the perfect angle. I feel my lips crash on hers, I try to catch myself, but it only makes things worse by grabbing her arm and making us fall.


-Sarada POV-


I can't believe it! Boruto just stole my first kiss... of course it was by accident, but still! Ugh, Boruto! We get up and finish our ramen in silence 


At the academy, Boruto and I couldn't stop blushing at each other when we saw each other. Our friends got puzzled by this, Cho cho wasn't. Then, class started and we all sat down in our seats. Then Cho Cho asked me," Hey, are you and Boruto okay?"


"What? Oh... uh, yeah.",I respond.


ChoCho narrows her eyes," I know that Boruto kissed you at Ichiraku's, it was my dad after all that pushed Boruto."


I recoil and say much too loudly,"No, he was just getting breakfast with me and we accidentally kissed!"


Everyone looked at me and I glanced at Boruto, he was blushing so badly. I could feel heat racing to my cheeks.


"Sarada, would you like to share something to the class?", Kakashi-Sensei said to me.


ChoCho announced to the class," Boruto kissed Sarada at Ichirkru"s this morning!"


Now the attention is focused at Boruto now.


-Boruto POV-


I stand up and say,"Really? I would never kiss Sarada and she would never kiss me! You all know that me and her fight and bicker all the time." 


The looks on every bodies faces tell me that they've bought the lie, the only one that doesn't is Inojin, he looks at me with a knowing smile. I only shrug to tell him that it wasn't on purpose; he gets the message.


I get home after a embarrassing day at the academy, so I go up to my mom and ask,"Mom... um, when did you kiss dad?"


"Let me guess, you accidentally kissed her?", she says with a raised eyebrow and a little grin.


I feel heat rise up to my cheeks,"How do you know?"


Chocho's father called me and Sakura", I just stand there, dumbfounded and shocked.


"Well now you have something in common with her", my mother said cheekily. 


All I just say is to go to Ichiraku's Ramen, mom says yes.


-Sarada POV- 


I get home after a stressful day at the academy, I ask mom,"Mom, you don't have to cook, let's go to get Ramen.


We get there: I'm shocked. "B-B-B-B-B-Boruto!", I say out loud.


He looks and gets red, but he covers it up with a smile and says,"Hey, Sarada!"


I walk up and study the seating; the same in the morning. So to distract myself; I start up a conversation.


" So Boruto, do you know that we have a mission tomorrow?"


"No, what rank?"


"C-rank."


He looks at me and smiles a serene smile, not his joking ones.


"Sarada, thank you", then gets up and leaves.


Who knew Boruto had this side, I think to myself.
