Hello people, this is probably my first story in such a long long time so I would really appreciate your thoughts about this, whether I should continue or not criticism and such just NO FLAMES please.

Chapter 1
Sasuke POV
Moving along the flow of my daily schedule, I watched as the papers came and went. In my mind I was hardly aware if I was the one accomplishing them. I was in a daze as I rarely was. After all who would expect me to be a procrastinator of all people. Procrastination was something I could afford doing. When you have thousands of lives in your hands, there's a certain responsibility that comes with it. But once and a blue moon, I can somewhat risk staying in a daze like this one. The good thing about my default expression was it showed no weakness. The stoic look intimidated whether I was even putting any effort into it or not.
Don't get me wrong it does not mean that this is the only emotion I can express. Yes, I was a man of few words. I strongly believe that actions have much more impact on life than the measly words that can really mean next to nothing unless put into paper. Flimsy words that had a greater effect on one's life than anyone would want to believe.
Am I bitter? Possibly. Lying to oneself, though it was almost impossible not to at times, was something that I tried to avoid. In my mind it was a bothersome action. Why try to hide yourself from what you already knew? Why waste your time doing so when you can come up with something else?
Back to the topic at hand, yes I am possibly bitter. Who doesn't have something they spite in their past? If there were such people then I most certainly envy them. Innocence or ignorance, it doesn't really matter which they were in a way shielded. However, admittedly there are bad points in that view. You couldn't blame a man when his judgment is clouded such as mine.
If you really want to check what I'm rambling on and on about, why don't you go ask a man who's heart was torn apart. Or a woman who had her hopes up a bit too high. Then you might be able to really understand what I'm talking about.
A knock on my office door broke through my reverie as my secretary, Karin, took a small peek inside her face flushed as per usual. She had feelings for me. I knew that all too well. Even without her unsightly advances, which I could very well live without, her feelings for me were like an open book for me to read.
"Sir, Ms. Haruno called to confirm if you were going to have lunch with her later." Karin said, her smile wavering as she mentioned Sakura's name. You see Sakura was my girlfriend for two months and it's plainly obvious as to why Karin was acting this way.
"Tell her that I'll be waiting for at Chez Akamichi." I found myself inwardly smirking as I told her the location. The current owner of said restaurant was a friend of ours and Sakura's favorite restaurant.
I watched as my secretary nodded meekly and left my office. Sighing, I got up my chair and pinched the bridge of my nose. Sakura Haruno, my girlfriend, or as many would call her my rebound. My rebound from her best friend Ino Yamanaka. The best friend of the girl who tore my world apart.
And there goes the prologue please do tell me what you think, just no FLAMES as said above.
REVIEW please!
