Chapter 7

"Fuuuuuuuuuuck." Sasuke groaned. "God I'm bored. Stupid aniki and forcing an off day for me."

"I don't want you to also work yourself to death. You are going to take a break today whether you like it or not otoutou. I don't want to lose you too." Itachi had told him grimly. "Go home and rest." He added quietly, putting a hand on his brother's shoulder. "Please Sasuke."

Sasuke knew Itachi was serious. He never called Sasuke by his name unless he was serious about something.

The young raven sighed. It had been stressful for him the last five years. He had immersed himself in work and nothing but ever since Sai and Sakura had received the thumbs up from Sakura's parents on their marriage and moved out of his apartment. Now that he was living alone, there was no one to keep an eye on him so he could do what ever the hell he wanted.

It had been more than one week since he came home. He had spent the last entire week stealing other doctors' shifts and had slept in his exam whenever he felt he was about to keel.

Hey, he knew he was a workaholic but he wasn't stupid. He knew his limits.

He did it for the same reason as she did.

To forget everything else.

To forget her.

To forget that she left him.

He sighed and hung his head between his legs.

Now was not the time to reminisce in the painful painful past.

'Whatever, just forget about it. I'll just watch some news.'

"In local celebrity news…"

'Great… just great. The one time I watch TV and this crap is on'

"… Japan's number one rock star, Fuwa Shou, had returned from his endeavor in America with big news today…"

'Who the hell is Fuwa Shou?!' He raised an eyebrow.

"The young celeb had arrived in Tokyo in a private jet plane early this morning for a commercial shoot…"

'That's it, I'm changing the channel.'

"… and shocked the entire nation when he had shown up with a blonde haired young woman by his side. The mystery woman had worn sunglasses and a hat so the identity of the young lady wasn't at first identifiable. What had shocked everyone even more was the couple were holding hands at the time of arrival and a rather large diamond engagement ring was wrapped around her left ring finger…"

However, the young Uchiha paused in his actions as he heard the next words coming from the reporter.

"Upon further research, our reporters at the scene were able to get Fuwa-san's details regarding his fiancée."

The screen had changed to a scene at the airport.

"Fuwa-san, can you tell us who this mystery woman is? Is she your fiancée?" One reporter had asked.

The blonde singer smiled and had looked at his fiancée before answering the question. The mystery woman had smiled at him and nodded before the singer turned back to the reporter.

Sasuke didn't like where this was going. He could have sworn he recognized that smile. It was her smile.

'Good God, no… please no.'

"Yes, she is my fiancée." He replied.

"Can we know who she is?" The reporter asked.

The young blonde woman had smiled under her hat and proceeded to take off her sunglasses and hat. She smiled at the reporter. Everyone at the scene seemed too shocked for words as they saw who the woman was. Awkward silence… before the reporter decided to break it.

"Namikaze Naru-san?" The reporter asked.

The blue eyed blonde didn't reply with words but just smiled at the shocked reporter. The blonde couple didn't say another word as they walked calmly out of the crowd hand in hand.

The scene had changed back to that of the studio.

"Well there you have it folks. Out of all the celebrity couples, I personally think this couple takes the cake for being the most unpredictable pairing. Well, I guess while the boys are mourning and the girls are crying of heartbreak over the single status loss of Japan's most eligible bachelorette and hottest rock star, the question on all our minds regarding this couple is: when's the big day?" The reporter smirked at the camera before the credits started rolling.

The remote control had been lying on the ground for some time after falling out of its owner's hand. Sasuke looked like a fish out of water. Mouth agape and eyes wide in shock. Sasuke's mind was reeling with questions.

Why…

Why didn't you choose me?

The young Uchiha didn't even realize the tears streaking down his cheeks.

AN: Yeah I know this one is a short chapter but the ending for the chappie seems an appropriate place to end it. Plus I get to leave you guys all hanging in suspense with this cliffie :D aren't I nice? Please review and tell me how I'm doing. I feel like I'm getting a bit rusty since it's been a while since I wrote. Comments and suggestions would be awesome! Until next time my little duckies.

XOXO
