Chapter One: Prologue

He stepped into the office, a commanding look playing across his features. His eyes shone with something that looked like amusement.

"Sasuke... leave." Emerald met onyx. It was only then, when he saw the stern look on her beautiful face that he knew that he had lost what could be the most important thing in his life.


The events of the morning replayed in Sasuke's head, only to serve as a grim reminder that something of great value would never be his again. Over and over he thought about his actions, refusing to believe that he ever did anything wrong. She would always have to try and please him; not the other way around. In the muddled mess that was Uchiha Sasuke's mind, one thing was clear. This was not how it was supposed to be. This was fucking backwards.

Control. It was what he needed. Having an impeccable sense of composure on the battlefield, this new sensation of panic disgusted him. He wanted to be the one she was fighting for, not the opposite! Uchiha Sasuke did not have to fight for anything, especially if he wanted it from someone like Haruno Sakura.

He wasn't sure if it was the pouring rain on his skin or the name that made him shiver. The girl, now an independent and beautiful young woman had become a puzzle to him. She had put up a strong wall around her heart, and this time, it wouldn't be so easy breaking it. His breath formed small puffs in the air as he walked towards his apartment.

She truly had become the beautiful cherry blossom of the village, turning heads while walking down the street, smiling sweetly even at strangers, but that wasn't the part that bothered Sasuke the most. The worst of it all was that she would never look at him the way the other girls did. On occasions where she did need to speak with him, she regarded him coldly and rather nonchalantly. It drove him mad. He hated her for it. But this one thing that Sasuke wanted from her was something that cannot be easily acquired, especially after breaking someone's heart. For the first time in his life, Uchiha Sasuke wanted love. And for the first time in his life, she wasn't willing to give it to him.

Heh, shouldn't be that hard, right?
