Rewriting the Stars

They say…true love never dies…

They always ate at the same restaurant. Tony's Vitaliano, an Italian place. This was the place where they always went to on their anniversary. It was the place where they first met, and as Sasuke Uchiha, second son of Uchiha Fukagu, heir to the Uchiha Empire, sat there, by himself remembered that somber day.

She wore her pasty pink hair in a messy bun…

"This business meeting is completely unnecessary, they are just a bunch of snakes." Sasuke bit out, irritated that his father is enforcing his authority to make him attend such meeting. His suit, made his appearance look just as strong as his Father, older brother, and his uncle. His white collard shirt, nicely tucked in his trousers, his black tie, straight, firmly tied around his neck, with no wrinkles, and his black blazer was buttoned down. He was built, strong, and lean, he was perfection. However, compared to his older brother, Sasuke knew his superiority did not even reach his brother's level.

Though Sasuke knew he held power, and authority, he could never silence a room with just his presence alone like his older brother could. Not even his own father matched that of Itachi Uchiha.

"Calm yourself Sasuke. No need to be so brash." Fugaku responded evenly, one hand tucked into his pocked while the other rested neatly at his side. The doors to the restaurant opened upon their arrival by their body guards.

"I take it the place has been rented out? And no outside party shall be entering in and out of this place?" Fugaku asked the guard to his right. His body was rigid, eyes covered by dark sunglasses.

"Arrangements have been made sir." Was his quick reply.

"Excellent, see that no one does enter, besides those that are listed." It was normal for the Uchiha to never address their body guards by their names. Not even their servants, because to the Uchiha, they didn't matter. As they entered the restaurant they were immediately escorted by a female hostess to their table. The beautiful graphic designs on the white painted walls, the hundreds of huge and small crystal chandeliers, beautiful dark wooden, and what appeared hand crafted tables, with elegant plating made no impact on the men as they walked.

"You've listed eight people in your party Mr. Uchiha, would this seating arrangement do?" The hostess with blond hair, blue eyes, tall, and thin, wearing a black pencil skirt, dark vest, with a long white sleeved collard blouse spoke softly.

"It's fine. Have a waiter come immediately."

And that was when he saw her. He was taken with her at first sight. He wasn't sure if it was her pink hair, green eyes, or the fact that she approached his family as if they were normal people that attracted him to her. Even his father and brother were astonished at her approach…had she no idea who she was talking to?

"Hi guys!" What disrespect, Sasuke could already foresee his father thinking, by the glare in his eye, and yet this silly woman, continued.

"My name is Sakura Haruno, and I have the pleasure of being your waitress for tonight!" She was beautiful to him, and she captivated his interest on the spot….

Present time

Had Sasuke known he would betray her in such a disastrous way, perhaps he would have made every effort to avoid meeting her. Perhaps, he would have made every effort to avoid loving her, but he couldn't. His eyes darkened at the memory…

"Karin is beautiful Sasuke…" She twirled the straw in her cup in circles. Her hair was down, and messy, he could tell she just finished crying. She was a mess at the photographs displayed in the center of their table. Their intimate positions on his desk, in his bedroom, on his office floor, behind a random building, even in a park was enough to make Sakura feel like she was going to vomit. "I don't blame you for wanting someone in a higher position than I can give you…but…but" her eyes glistened with tears, her voice choked as each word she spoke was forced out of her mouth.

"Still I loved you…" She whispered, and he listened. He listened to her voice crack, and felt the depth of her pain as her heart shattered before him, simultaneously breaking his as well, because he knew where this was going as soon as she reached for the ring he gave her last year.

"Just how long Sasuke..." She began evenly, "How long have you secretly been having sex with Karin behind my back?" She finished asking. At his silence, she allowed more tears to fall, whimpered as she tried to compose herself, because she knew it must have been longer than she anticipated.

"Sakura please…" He tried to explain, but Sakura held her hand up.

"Spare me the lies Sasuke, these pictures cannot be photoshopped. You can't dig yourself out the hole you made. I was such a fool…2 years…we were together for 2 years Sasuke, and all this time…. was I just your play thing? An act? A way to get back at your father for all the crap you put him through? I'm done Sasuke…I've had it with all you Uchiha's my life was so much better when you all were never in it!" Sakura cried into her hands, broken, and sobbing. When Sasuke got up from his chair, he made his way over to her, one touch on her shoulder, and Sakura immediately reacted by shoving his hand away.

"Don't you dare touch me with those hands that have touched her! You don't get to do that to me Sasuke! You don't have the right! You…were never there for me when I needed you Sasuke." Sakura looked him square in the eye, her brokenness apparent for all in the restaurant to see as they now had a full-blown audience watch as Sakura grabbed her glass full of water and effectively throwing its contents directly into his face.

"Your brother was kind and understanding. He came to my aide each time your father harassed me, got me fired from this place! Tony's was helping me get my bills paid while I was going to medical school Sasuke! Your brother saw how hard I was trying to appease your father's anger, so he helped me get in touch with Tsunade, persuaded her to train me as a medical doctor and even paid for the rest of my education so I can at least be good enough to stand by your side. Itachi tried to help our relationship look better in the eyes of your father so you and I could be together! And you go and spit in your brother's face, wasting all of his efforts and throw me away like a piece of garbage for her. Well…congratulations, I hope you both are happy. Take your damn ring, just looking at it makes me want to throw up" She shoved the ring roughly into Sasuke's chest before turning around and leaving Tony's restaurant.

"Sakura wait" Sasuke did not even bat an eye lash as he stormed after her. He saw her running down the pavement, towards the parking lot, but he caught up to her before she could even make it to her car.

"Stop it Sasuke!" He grabbed her arm rather roughly, but she struggled, and she fought him. She screamed, and yelled at him, tears, so many tears ran down her face.

"I hate you Sasuke…please…." She begged and as she yanked her arm free, "Let me GO." She yelled, neither of them anticipated her losing her footing, and causing her to fall straight into the street.

It happened quickly…. bright lights, a loud honking sound, a scream, and crash all at once.

And he knew, as he stood there, frozen in shock, as blood slowly running down her face, her neck, and dripping off her fingers, that his life would never be the same again…

"SAKURA!"
