Italics- flashback


Three.

"Where the hell is Uchiha Sasuke?"

"You know, I could've been on my lunch break right now if I wasn't interviewing him today"

"Oh my god. It's a film premiere and the lead actor has been missing for fucking five hours!"

Angry people were starting to get impatient as they waited for the arrival of Uchiha Sasuke to come back after his mysterious disappearance.

His co-star, Karin was left smiling and doing private interviews with people as the conference for the movie had finished after Uchiha Sasuke was declared unavailable to do anymore interviews for TV reporters three hours after he went missing.


Karin was getting worried.

What was her dear Sasuke-kun up to?

Why is he missing?

The interviewer cleared their throat bringing Karin back to earth.

Karin quickly flashed a million dollar smile before she resumed with the interview.

"So, Karin, is it true that you and Uchiha Sasuke are practically an item?" The interviewer said excitedly.

"I'm not obliged to answer that question" Karin replied with a cheerful tone.

The interviewer's face drooped.

She had wanted to be the first to dish out hot gossip and confirm that Fujiwara Karin and Uchiha Sasuke are in fact secret lovers and are ready to let the world know.

"Well, I think so that's enough today" The interviewer says as she gives a polite bow and walks out of the room silently.

Karin just stared out of the window and wonders where Sasuke is.

Her manager clears his throat rather loudly before he motions for her to come over.

Karin politely walks across the carpeted room to her manager.

"What's wrong?" Karin asks.

"It appears that Uchiha Sasuke is coming in a few minutes" her manager says happily.

Karin's face instantly brightens up.

"Really?"

"Yes" Her manager replies.

"Well, what was the problem?" Karin asked.

Her manager sighed.

"Uchiha Sasuke's wife was in a car crash. And that's not all, apparently, the police found divorce papers in her car that were kind of smushed and ripped apart"

Karin's eyes widened.

So Uchiha Sakura would go that far

An evil smirk crossed her rather glowing face.

Touché, bitch …


Uchiha Sasuke was not in a happy mood at all.

Who wouldn't be?

His wife was in a car crash and the reason was because she was driving in the route to Konoha Family Court and now she has amnesia only remembering the times she hated him just because he was rather unwelcoming to the fact that her so called best friend liked him.

He sighed irritably.

It's ALWAYS been like this ever since Sasuke started his acting career a few months after he and Sakura married.

I mean, Uchihas have taste and Sasuke had a reason for marrying Sakura although he wouldn't even tell his own wife.

His car was nearing the familiar building again .

He turned left and parked at the nearest parking space.

Taking his time, Sasuke locked the car, took out a cigarette, puffed for awhile before continuing to walk into the building where he swore that he could hear his manager practically screaming bloody murder.


"He's back!" the manager said giddily.

All heads turned towards the doorway where a dark haired handsome man stood not giving a fuck about the world.

The red head sitting in the corner of the room widened her eyes in surprise and her face immediately turned all sugary looking.

She sauntered towards the man and gave him a hug that looked like as though she hadn't seen the man in a million years.

All eyes were on the so-called couple as the red head giggled and the dark haired man smirked for awhile.

Every single crew member thinking the same thing:

'Dang girl ….'


Sakura was quietly sleeping in the bath tub as she soaked in the glorious bubbles.

Her mind had thoughts running everywhere as she tried to sink in everything Yumi had told her just a few hours ago.

It was quite extraordinary.

One minute she slammed herself into a broom stick and now she is in a bath tub trying to stop herself from committing suicide as she was thinking she was going mental.

Yumi had left to work and Sakura was left all alone.

She was STILL trying to get used to the truth and right now she just wanted to stay in the bath tub for a long time.

She still remembered how she felt when she found out she was that asshole's wife and how she is just an ordinary housewife now.


Sasuke was getting quite annoyed.

Karin has taken a chance to bombard him with questions about Sakura while he doesn't really want to talk about it.

He was currently sitting in his own trailer and he could hear his manager and Karin speaking.


"Hey…." Karin trailed off.

The manager twisted his head to look at her.

Karin felt unsteady in his gaze and immediately smiled to hide her fear.

"Karin, what is it?" the manager sighed.

"Knowing Sasuke, he'd confide all his secrets in you…..right?" Karin asked slowly.

The manager's face turned from suspicion to a more relaxed expression.

"You want to know what happened just hours ago?" the manager asked with a smile.

Karin beamed at him showing that she was agreeing.

"Uchiha Sakura apparently has caught mild amnesia and she thinks that she's in her final year at high school. She practically believes that she's eighteen!" the manager said in hushed tones.

Karin's eyes widened in surprise.

So this was why Sasuke was gone for so long.

He probably was rushing by his wife's side as she's laying dying on her hospital bed when suddenly she gets amnesia.

Oh, this is too perfect.

Karin already formed a devious plan in her mind.

Since Sakura doesn't remember her relationship with her, Karin can pretend that she was Sakura's best friend then when Sakura is really tight with her, she can easily manipulate Sakura's mind and use her to get to Sasuke.

Oh this was sooooo good

Karin evilly smirked earning a glare from her manager.

"Karin, you DO know that I know what you're thinking. One word of advice: Don't try to get too close with Uchiha Sasuke. He aint easy to get and he's happily married with Sakura" the manager said sternly.

Karin giggled in response.

She slapped at the manager's arm playfully.

"Ahhh….. You're so funny when you get all angry manager-san' she said cheerfully before she opened her trailer door and stepped out into the sunlight.

Her manager was left in the dark trailer dumbfounded about the event that just took place.


"Sasuke-kun…" Karin said seductively.

This earned her a smirk from Sasuke as he put an arm around her shoulder.

"Hn"

Karin smiled in return.


FIN.
