Kari: HEY! I know I should be updating my NaruHina anthology…but I'm working on it, I swear! Since I'm in the mood for anthologies, I'm starting a SasukSaku one too.

Sasuke: And just when I thought you would leave me alone…and stick with Naruto…

Kari: *frowns* See, this is why I like Itachi better.

Itachi: *flashes sparkly smile*

Sasuke: I-you-what-

Itachi: Face it, ototou, I am better than you.

Sasuke: …*goes to emo corner*

Kari: *sweatdrops* Okay, I'm not going to bore you with any more distractions, so, let's hear the disclaimer!

Itachi: Angelwings12 does not own Naruto.

Kari: And here we go! Enjoy!

So I suddenly woke up at 3:30 AM one morning with this one word: paradox. Then came: SasuSaku! And this story was born.~ :D Hope you guys like it! I need at least three reviews to update.

I might be a little slow in updating, 'cause family's coming over for Christmas. But I promise I'll update by January 3rd. Until then, take care, everyone! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

-p. a. r. a. d. o. x.-

They're a paradox.

They're polar opposites, alien natures, but mostly, they're a paradox.

He is Hate. He is Death. He is Revenge.

He's so twisted (sosobeautifullytwisted) that he doesn't hesitate to kill her. His heart has been ripped out and replaced with stone, and no matter how much she hopes (such a foolish thing, hope, so very foolish), he will never love.

Never again.

He is the embodiment of Darkness.

She, on the other hand, is his other half. She is Love. She is Life. She is Redemption, holding her arms out wide and giving him countless chances to run into them.

She is so crystal-clear, that she is willing to throw away her status, her village, her friends, her family, her life, all for his sake. She knows that his heart is of stone, but she continues hoping (such a foolish thing), that he will one day love.

One day.

She is the embodiment of Light.

They exist side-by-side against Uchiha Madara. They protect each other during the Fourth Ninja War. Love and Hate, Life and Death, Revenge and Redemption mold together to create a perfect being as they kiss.

They defy the laws of nature, smash the barriers of shinobi and reduce the walls of the orthodox to rubble as Sasuke and Sakura walk hand-in-hand towards their sunshine, who greets them with an enthusiastic yell.

The fates are astounded, the world is agape, yet God mercifully allows this one pair of souls to survive in harmony.

They completely break the rules when, together, they have a child, a perfect being, who is neither black nor white, but instead shades of gray.

Together, they are Yin and Yang. They are polar opposites. They are Darkness and Light. They are alien natures.

They are a paradox, yes…

But they are a beautiful one.

There we go! I enjoyed writing this...to tell you the truth, I finished this withing ten minutes...so, yeah :P Criticism is appreciated! Review please, and Ita-kun will give you a cookie. Have a great Christmas, everyone!
