Hello everyone here and welcome to another story by me. This is a little one shot to bridge the time to the next chapter of "My path towards a better future" without any relevance to said story. Boruto is ill and stays home for the current day. You'll see how things are turning out. Enjoy.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto/Boruo

Uzumaki household:

It was early in the morning. Hinata just woke up, seeing that Naruto wasn't in the bed.

"So he is already out huh? He seems to be really busy in the last few days".

She put on her clothes and walks out of the room and down the stairway. She began to prepare breakfast for Boruto and Himawari.

"Borutoooo, Himawariiiiii", Hinata shouted out to wake both of them up.

It was ment to be a typical morning in the Uzumaki household. Naruto was mostly already out, Boruto preparing for the academy and Himawari helping Hinata out in the household, but this time it was different.

"Good morning mom", Himawari said to her mother.

"Good morning Himawari", said Hinata back. "Where's your brother?".

"Onii-chan is still sleeping. I entered his room and still saw him lying on his bed. But his face was red like a tomato", Himawari told her mother.

"Ehhh. What?". Hinata was suprised by her answer, now walking up the stairway to his room. She opened the door and he was indeed lying on his bed.

"Boruto, wake up", Hinata said to the sleeping Boruto. He woke up from his mother's shaking.

"M-Mom", Boruto said to her with a weak tone. "I-I think I have a fever".

Hinata lied her hand on his forehead. It was pretty warm and it seems like he indeed have a fever.

"Boruto, you're staying home for today. Don't leave your bed for the rest of the day. I am calling a doctor for you to be sure it isn't something worse".

"Does Onii-chan not feel good?", Himawari asked her mother.

"Himawari, please look out for him as I call a doctor for him", she said to her daughter.

"Ok mom you can leave it to me", Himawari answered proud.

'That's going to be a hell of a boring day', Boruto thought, coughing.

O

Konoha academy:

"Nara Shikadai".

"Here"

"Yamanaka Inojin".

"Yeah"

"Uzumaki Boruto".

...

"Uzumaki Boruto?"

...

There was no response.

"Seems like he is missing today", Inojin said to Shino.

"Well then I hope it's not because of his lack of motivation to go to the academy", Shino told the class.

'I hope Boruto-kun is alright', Sumire, a girl with purple hair and uniform thought.

"I wouldn't be suprised if he actually skipped class to do some stupid things", Chocho said to her friend, sitting next to her.

"Well knowing him I think that wouldn't suprise me", Sarada said back to Chocho.

"D-Do you think that Boruto-kun would really do something like that?", Sumire asked them.

"I know him since my childhood. Something like that would fit his nature", Sarada answered her.

"Yeah, Boruto is still a bratty child", Chocho said".

"Please listen boys and girls. We are starting with today", Shino told his students.

O

Later in the Uzumaki household:

It was already 12 P.M as the doctor arrived and checked Boruto.

"It seems to be some serious illness. He's out for about two days and needs to stay on his bed", the doctor said to Hinata and Boruto.

"Oh come on it's not that bad", Boruto argued weakly.

"Boruto, do what the doctor says to you", Hinata said to him with a serious tone.

"Oh mom".

"No unhealthy food. Only soup and water for the next few days", the doctor said. "With that, he should regenerate in short time".

With that, the doctor left the household.

"You stay here. I am going to call the academy that you're going to miss for another day", Hinata said to him, now grabbing the phone.

O

Konoha academy:

Shino was writing something on the blackboard and suddenly his phone rang.

"Sorry for the interruption", he said as he left the class room.

"Shino sensei is weird. Trying to play the strict teacher but leaving the room for every phone call he gets", Chocho said, annoyed.

"Well he sure have some reasons", Sumire tried to defending him.

"Oh come on. He is doing that every day", Chocho talked back to her.

"I am bored the most time he is trying to teach us something, so I won't mind those little breaks", Sarada said to them.

After a short time, Shino entered the room, ready to announce something

"I got a call from Boruto's mother. He won't be participating for the next two days due to an illness", Shino said to the class

'Boruto-kun is ill? Oh no', Sumire thought, as she was worried about him.

"At least he did nothing stupid until now", Sarada told to Chocho

"Yes but I think that will change soon", Chocho told back to her.

"There's no more time left to start another subject. Homework is exercise 4 on page 12. You can go", Shino told to his students.

With that the most kids ran out, screaming. Just as Sumire was about to go, he was stopped by Shino.

"Sumire, as the class rep please go and visit Boruto and bring him the necessary papers to catch up and to do the homework", Shino said to her.

"E-Eh, it's a honor to do that", Sumire said to him.

'I am going to visit Boruto!', Sumire thought. She was shy when it was to talk with people, especially if those people are boys and that one boy was saving her not too long ago.

She left the class room. On her way to Boruto's home.

O

Uzumaki household:

"Boruto. I am out to buy you some medicine", Hinata shouted from downstairs.

"O-Ok mom", Boruto shouted, immidiately coughing afterwards.

"Himawari, please take care of him until I am back", Hinata told her.

"Ok mom".

Hinata left the house. She was on her way to the next pharmacy, which takes a while to walk there.

"Himawari, can you bring me a bottle of water", Boruto asked, still lying on the bed.

"Of course Onii-chan".

Himawari ran down the stairs, but when she arrived in the kitchen, the door rang.

"Is mom already back?", Himawari asked herself, as she opened the door.

There was a girl with purple hair standing in front of her.

"I-Is Boruto here?", the girl asked. "I am a class mate of him and I want to bring him some stuff to study".

"Yes, but he's ill. He lies on his bed upstairs", Himawari told her. "Come in so you can personally give him that".

"E-Eh o-ok", the girl stuttered, entering the house and walking upstairs.

She now entered his room and found Boruto watching some TV,

"Himawari, where's the ww-what! Sumire!" Boruto shouted.

"E-Ehhh h-hello Boruto-kun", Sumire stuttered.

"W-What a-are you doing here?", Boruto asked her with a suprising face.

"W-Well Shino sensei told me to bring you some study material. H-Here", she said to him, handing him some papers.

"Oh man Shino is even annoying me when I am ill". Boruto told to himself, annoyed.

"E-Ehm I g-go", Sumire said, trying to leave.

"H-Hey Sumire! Wait!", Boruto said to her. "C-Can you help me with that?"

"S-Sure, but w-why do you suddenly want to study stuff?", she asked him.

"Because I am pretty bored, so it's better than lying on the bed the whole day".

"Is this one of your friends?", Himawari asked Boruto after entering the room.

"Y-Yes Himawari. This is Sumire. She's the class representive of our class", Boruto introduced her to Sumire.

"H-Hello Himawari", Sumire greeted her

"You're Onii-chans girlfriend?".

"N-No", Sumire answered, blushing a bit.

"Ok do you want to play with me and Onii-chan", Himawari asked.

"Himawari, I need to study with her. Later ok?", Boruto answered.

"O-Ok, no problem".

With that, she left the room, running to her own one. Sumire showed Boruto some tips and tricks to solve the tasks. She was very intelligent and friendly to him.

"That's amazing. Thank you Sumire to help me with that. I am a total loser when it comes to Genjutsu in theory", Boruto said to her.

"N-No problem".

O

"I am back", shouted Hinata as he entered the house after unlocking the door.

"Mom, we have a visitor", Himawari ran down the stairway.

"Who could it be?", Hinata asked herself, walking to the kitchen first.

She quickly stored the food she bought in the fridge while leaving the medicine for Boruto on the table. Just then she heard multiple persons walking down the stairway. She walked to the entrance and saw a new face in front of her. Borutotalked to her:

"Mom, this is a good friend of mine"

"Hello, my name is Sumire Kakei. I brought Boruto some study material since he wasn't at school today and helped him a bit"

"It's nice to meet you Sumire", Hinata said to her. "Thank you for helping my little Boruto out".

"No problem. It was pretty fun to teach someone on my own", Sumire said to her with a smile.

"You seem to be pretty intelligent and friendly. Can you keep an eye on Boruto?", Hinata asked.

"M-Mom! Stop!", Boruto shouted, embarassed.

"Onii-chan is really shy", Himawari grinned towards Sumire. "Do you want to play something with me now?".

"You can stay for dinner if you want", Hinata told Sumire.

"Thank you Mrs. Uzumaki".

"You're welcome", Hinata told her. "Boruto please don't run around and lay ton the sofa until I am ready with dinner".

"Yeah yeah whatever", Boruto answered, annoyed.

"Come up with me Sumire", Himawari told her. "I am going to show you my room".

O

With that Himawari dragged her up, showing her all her toys. Both had a lot of fun. Himawari was proud to show off her collection of dolls and Sumire liked to learn more about the Uzumaki. Only Boruto was bored to death laying around. The time flew and the last member of the Uzumaki household just arrived.

"I am home", Naruto shouted.

"Welcome home honey", Hinata said to him, kissing him afterwards.

"That smells great. I am really hungry".

"Honey, we have a visitor", Hinata said

"Oh really? Who is it?".

"Daaaad!", Himawari ran down to greet her father. "Look who is here".

With that, Sumire also walked down the stairs, now looking at the Hokage in front of her.

"H-Hello, I am Sumire", she said in a shy tone.

"Oh you're that girl. It's nice to meet you personally. I am the Hokage, but you can call me Naruto".

"It's a honor to meet you. My parents told me about you in the past", Sumire said to him.

"I am sorry for what happened to you, but now everything is fine. I am glad Boruto helped you back then".

"Thank you very much Hokage Naruto", Sumire said to him.

Naruto walked to the living room and found Boruto laying on the sofa.

"Hello Boruto. How was your day?"

"Really really crappy", Boruto said. "Well actually not that crappy at all". Boruto thought about Sumire visiting him.

"Is this your girlfriend or why is she actually here?", Naruto asked

"N-NO she is the class rep and delivered me some school stuff", Boruto answered, slightly blushing

"That was a joke Boruto", Naruto grinned.

"Dinner is ready!", Hinata shouted

Everyone walked to the kitchen, where the table was already ready.

"Can you sit between me big sister?", Himawari asked Sumire

"B-Big sister?", Sumire asked, suprised

"Well you're the first girl that played with me. And I want a sister, who plays with me all the time", Himawari said to her

"Ok I am your big sister then. You got that little sister?", Sumire said to Himawari with a smile on her face.

"Yippie", Himawari shouted happy.

"Good appetite everyone", Naruto said to them before he started eating.

"Good appetite".

O

They started eating and Hinata began to ask some questions to Sumire.

"So where do you live?"

"Ehhh, I am an orphan. The village spended me an apartment near the borders where I live in. It's pretty old, but I like my home".

"If you want I can pull some strings for you to get a brand new apartment more close to the academy", Naruto said to her

"No it isn't necessary. I am happy with what I have".

"Well then...I heard you're pretty good at the academy. You was the class best this year", Naruto said.

"Yeah. My father trained me the whole time when I was younger".

"I've watched you and Boruto training with Shino sensei a week ago. You was pretty amazing"

"T-Thank you", Sumire said

"Big sis is really strong huh?", Himawari talked. "Can you please train me to become as good as you big sis?".

"E-Eh...of c-course, but I am not sure I am that type to be a teacher".

"That's not true!", Boruto said. "You was amazing when you helped me earlier".

"Please big sis", Himawari beged her.

"O-Ok", Sumire gave up.

O

After a half hour they finished with the dinner.

"Thank you for the dinner", Sumire said to the Uzumaki's. "Can I help you washing the dishes Mrs. Uzumaki".

"That would be nice. Thank you", Hinata told her.

They began to clear the table and Sumire started to help Hinata out in the household.

"You like that girl or Boruto?", Naruto asked his son.

"Yeah I like her really much, but not loving her if it was what you really wanted to ask"

After some time, Himawari joined Hinata and Sumire to clean the household. It took some time and it was already dark outside. Sumire was ready to leave the Uzumaki's.

"Thank you for the evening. I hope you'll get well very soon Boruto-kun", Sumire smiled towards him.

"Thank you for bringing me the school stuff", Boruto thanked back.

"I probably have to visit you again tomorrow. I'll help you out with the work, so don't worry".

"You're welcome", Boruto and his family said to Sumire.

"Ok good night", Sumire said, now leaving them.

'It seems like the next few days won't be that bad', Boruto thought.

'I have to help Boruto-kun as good as possible', Sumire thought while walking back to her home

Boruto closes the door and just as he started walking to his bed, his mother called him.

"Boruto come here. You need to take your medicine", Hinata called.

'I just hate being ill'.

That was it for the one-shot. I may release a sequel to this but right now I want to focus on my main project being "My path towards a better future". Sorry for you guys waiting for the next chapter, but the next few weeks are going to be difficult for me. I am going to release the next chapter in the next five-six days. After that I am on vacation for a week. I hope that doesn't bother you that much.

As always please review and have a nice day.
