A/N: OK, so this was written in about three or four minutes, so it's extremely rough. I could flesh it out more- maybe make it into five hundred words, instead of one hundred. Just tell me what you think in your reviews, please.

Pairing: SasuSaku.

Words: 100.

When Sakura first sees Sasuke's curse mark, her breath stops and her heart beats slower, before accelerating to a hundred beats per second. Black marks appear on his skin, writhing like something alive as they make a deadly pattern on his skin. His Sharingan, crimson, blood-red eyes seem to glow brighter. He laughs, and it isn't as wonderful as she always imagined it would be: it's low and harsh and hurts her, somewhere in her chest. Still, if it makes him happy, it makes her happy, in a twisted way.

Because, even in his demise, Sasuke Uchiha is beautiful.
