How the hell did we wind up like this?

Why weren't we able, to see the signs that we missed

And try to turn the tables

Now the story's played out like this

Just like a paperback novel

Let's rewrite an ending that fits

Instead of a Hollywood horror

When Saya woke up, she saw Kei asleep beside her, and she didn't feel her right hand. When she turned to look at it, she gasped. Then, she remembered what had happened the previous day, and when Saya moved to sit up straight, she woke Kei up. "Saya!" Kei exclaimed and hugged the girl, and Saya didn't move. "Oh my god, I am so sorry this happened, I am so sorry." Kei cried and Saya knew she wasn't at fault. No one was, this was Saya's fate. She knew it. No one was at fault, this was something which just had to happen.

Fugaku wasn't kind to Sasuke that evening. He grounded his son, and took away his phone, and spoke to the principal on making Sasuke take extra classes at school, and he cut out Sasuke's soccer practice. It wasn't as if he didn't deserve it, Sasuke knew he was at fault. But, what he didn't know was where his father had gone off the previous night. Itachi knew something as well, but he didn't tell Sasuke what it was. And what shocked him more was that there was blood on his father's jacket, something even his mother didn't ask him about. Fugaku knew Saya's father, they weren't friends or anything, Saya's father Yuu, was a junior to Fugaku back when they were school children. They didn't even talk to each other much, they just acknowledged each other's existence by nodding each time they saw each other. But all Fugaku knew was Yuu was a very dedicated student, and he believed Saya was one as well.

And when Itachi and Kei came running into the hospital where Fugaku was the previous night, he understood one more thing. Saya's mother was a woman who was presumably the reason for Saya's injury. Fugaku asked Itachi to come over to the hospital because a girl was injured. And when Itachi came to know of who was injured, he rushed Kei to the hospital. Fugaku noticed that his eldest son brought in a girl, and when Itachi was alone he went up to him and asked, "Who's the girl?" Itachi didn't hesitate and he said, "Saya's elder sister." Fugaku wasn't satisfied. "I'm dating her." Itachi completed after sighing and Fugaku coughed once. "Is she from a decent background?" Itachi didn't care. "Yes." He said, and Fugaku continued to question his son's choice. "Will she capable to carry out the Uchiha family name?" Itachi frowned. "Dad, I don't know about all that, I haven't thought that far ahead. And she's only eighteen." Fugaku sighed in anger and said, "I'll look for a better suitor. I can't have my eldest son be seen with someone who he isn't going to marry." Itachi smiled bitterly and said, "I can pick my bride, thanks dad." And he walked away.

Sasuke walked to school, because his father took away his car. Itachi wasn't talking to his father, and Fugaku noticed that Kei was someone Itachi was around a lot. He didn't necessarily like her, she was too loud. Mikoto wasn't that loud when he first saw her, and he wanted Itachi to marry someone as well-mannered as his wife is. Sasuke noticed Sakura smile at him as soon as he entered class and Sasuke didn't smile back. She leaned closer to him and kissed him, and he kissed back, forcefully, being in complete control. He let his hands roam all over her body, something Saya didn't let him do, and as soon as Saya's thought entered his mind, he pulled away from the pinkette. "We aren't in a relationship, Sakura." He said, and walked inside class.

Sakura was shocked. She was sure she had him now, but even that wasn't enough. Some part of her was broken about the fact Sasuke was just using her to ease his stress, but Sakura showed out to be happy about it. She was glad Sasuke was around her, and she was glad she got to spend more time with him. 'Sakina, your plan worked.' Sakura smiled and walked inside class.

Sasuke noticed Saya wasn't at school anymore, and what shocked him more was how the teachers reacted. Whenever Saya's name came up in the attendance, the teacher just skipped her name. Saya's name came after Sasuke's, and after Saya was Shino. The teacher, said Sasuke's name and then directly jumped to Shino. Something was wrong. And at home, Itachi was more distant than ever. He came home late, and something told Sasuke that his father knew about it. His mother seemed to know as well, and at dinner Sasuke heard something bizarre. "How's the girl?" Fugaku asked and Itachi said, "She's doing fine. Her hand is taking a while to heal, but it's nothing serious. She's going to be fine, but there will be a scar though." Fugaku frowned slightly and said, "Poor girl." Itachi nodded. "Who?" Sasuke interjected and no answer came. He turned to his mother who was looking at him with a worried expression.

"It's Saya, Sasuke." She said, and the male's eyes widened and his stomach churned.

"W-What's wrong with her?" Itachi didn't answer and neither did his mother. Fugaku quietly ate his dinner and said, "Her mother kidnapped her, and she was almost killed when she tried to escape." Sasuke couldn't believe it. He knew Saya's mother was a woman not worth messing with, but to think she would do something like that to her own daughter was cruel. Sasuke breathed out once, and looked back at his food, suddenly not feeling hungry anymore. "I'm not hungry." He said, and excused himself when Fugaku spoke once more. "Don't mistake pity for love Sasuke. You were also the reason she's broken now." Sasuke felt incredibly uncomfortable all of a sudden and he went to his room.

Fugaku learnt about Sasuke and Saya through Itachi. Fugaku was furious that his own son would do something like that, but now that it was all over, he could relax. "Itachi." His son looked up to his father and Fugaku continued. "Bring Miss Soyokaze to dinner tomorrow night." Itachi didn't want to. "It'll be a formal dinner, I won't ask her to marry you." Fugaku frowned and Itachi sighed. "Alright." And Fugaku spoke once more, "Sasuke won't be there, by the way." Itachi cocked his eyebrow.

"His punishment begins tomorrow." Itachi chuckled.

Sometimes, his father was just amazing.

The next time Sasuke saw Saya, his eyes widened and his stomach hurt with guilt and remorse. Naruto walked over to Saya, and she just pushed him away. She looked traumatized, and every person that came toward her, she stared at them with wide eyes. Her right hand had a bandage, and her eyes looked scared. She couldn't write, so she listened extra hard. Saya ignored everybody and when the teacher called out her name, she jumped slightly. 'So even the teachers knew about her.' Sasuke thought to himself and found that he was staring at Saya. After school, Naruto walked over to the girl and said, "Saya, listen." Saya turned to face him and Naruto spoke, "I want you to let me in-""No." She said, and frowned. Naruto groaned and said, "I'm not like Sasuke Saya. I won't hurt you. I know he didn't love you, but…for friendship it's different. I want to be your friend." But out of that whole sentence, the one that caught Saya's attention was that Sasuke didn't love her.

Saya frowned and said, "Leave me alone, and go back to the life that you once lived. Without me in it." And she walked away. She felt cheated and she felt anger. She was furious, and she was hurt. Both physically, and mentally. She didn't want anymore. She didn't want to be the victim anymore. "Saya. Wait." She heard a familiar voice and Saya stopped walking. She didn't turn around, and just stood there. Sasuke walked toward her and said, "I am so sorry for what happened to you." He said, and Saya frowned. "What are you apologizing for?" She asked, and Sasuke didn't reply. The two just stood there, and Sasuke struggled with what he wanted to say. But Saya beat him to it. "I don't know you anymore. And I would appreciate it, if you didn't either." Sasuke was confused. He didn't understand that sentence. Until it struck him.

When Saya walked away, he could feel it. She wasn't only walking out of the school. She was walking out of his life.

And that was when he felt it.

Sorrow.

For her.

Anger.

At himself.

And, regret.

For what he had done.

He slammed his hand against the wall, and muttered, "Damnit." And that was when Sasuke Uchiha, soccer captain, and the most popular boy in high school, shed a tear. Because he felt regret not for what he had done, but for something he didn't do.

He didn't call after Saya when she walked away that evening, and he knew it was too late now because, he knew she wasn't the sort to come running back, and she wasn't the sort to invite those she pushed away.

When Kei entered Itachi's house, Fugaku didn't smile at her. Kei didn't either, she had a policy she followed. She smiles at people who smile at her, and even if they were the fathers of the boys she was dating, she wouldn't smile at them if they weren't smiling at her. Fugaku noticed and smirked to himself. He forced Sasuke to eat in his room for a whole month. And he cut out internet and television for his youngest son.

Kei sat down and Fugaku said, "So, is there a reason why you want to become a doctor?" Kei frowned. "Of course there is." She sensed mockery in the father Uchiha's voice so she spoke to him in a manner she believed he deserved. "And that is?" Kei gulped and said, "To help those I can, and to prove to several people that becoming a doctor without a reason is impossible." She stressed the word 'several' and Itachi shifted in his seat. He knew Kei wasn't going to back down, and his father wasn't either. He knew right away that this was going to end badly.

"I see. So, is there a reason you chose this college?" Kei sighed and said, "Because it's closer to where I currently live." "And where is that?" Kei frowned. "With my cousin sister, Saya Nakahara." Fugaku smirked. He wanted Kei to mention Saya's name so he could ask her something that could corner her. "Saya. I see, so how is the child?" Kei almost laughed when Fugaku spoke and she said, "She's doing fine, thank you for asking." Fugaku nodded and said, "Is it her tendency to get into trouble?" Kei frowned hard, "Excuse me?" Itachi coughed once, but both his father and girlfriend ignored him. "She was hurt, because-""Of what your youngest son did." Kei completed for Fugaku and the older male continued talking. "She is dedicated isn't she? Then, she mustn't have let herself get pre-occupied." Kei was fuming now.

She stood up, attaining shocked looks from both Itachi and his mother, while Fugaku just smirked to himself. "Or maybe Uchiha men are just overpowering, and dominating and extremely manipulative." Itachi was wide eyed and Mikoto placed a hand over her mouth, hoping she wouldn't laugh out loud. "Then why are you seeing my son-""Oh, please Mr. Uchiha, your son can never overpower me, no one can. I like him for how he is and I sometimes think he isn't even cut out to be an Uchiha."

Itachi stared at Kei and Mikoto did as well. She was sure Fugaku was going to send her away now, and Itachi would be forced to stay away from someone who openly insulted the Uchiha clan like that. But, the next thing that happened shocked the two of them.

Fugaku laughed.

"Sit down, Kei." He said, and the girl obeyed. Then after that, the dinner went magically well. After Kei left, and Itachi dropped her off and retuned home, he heard Fugaku say to Mikoto. "She's a good one, that girl. She'd make a perfect Uchiha." And Itachi smiled. Oh yes, his father was amazing at times.
