a/n: A rewritten version of Shattered Reflections. I've stopped reading Naruto, so characters might be a bit OOC. I realized the ending was entirely changed. *sweat drops*

Haruno Sakura doesn't like confrontations. Especially when it comes down to the topic of Uchiha Sasuke. How ironic is that the confrontation now in front of her is with Uchiha Sasuke. Above all, it is a conversation where her love for him and Naruto are at stake.
Two years without him isn't enough. Two years without him passed on much too slowly for her, yet they are not long enough to allow her to forget about him.
They stand in front of the magnificent gates of Konoha -- cynical onyx pierces ephemeral emerald.
The night is much too serene for the scene of World War III whirling around them. The sounds of death, slaughter and screams flit past them like the moaning of the wind, but all Sakura can do is concentrate on Uchiha Sasuke.
"Sasuke-kun..." The familiar syllables find their way out of her mouth, forming that taboo name, and she suddenly discovers that she is crying.
"Two years, and you haven't matured at all. Everything about you is still annoying." Uchiha Sasuke states flatly at her, eyes revealing no emotion whatsoever.
As clichéd as it gets: Sasuke, all in his glory, is like a divine god in her eyes. His spiky midnight blue hair traces the outline of his face and present his exquisite beauty. His perfect porcelain skin remains imposing. Just the sight of him holds her captive in a trance. And when she finally snaps out of it, she realizes how tall and intimidating he is. Especially since he is holding his kunai against her throat.
"W-what do you want? A-aren't you supposed to be... not here?" She inquires, a few sniffles in between her sentence.
Sasuke's eyes lights up, and he produces a most shattering cruel smile of a devil. "I am where I am supposed to be. I want what you hold dear. I want him." The sentence ends sardonically. "And because you are the most important person in his life, I will use you. You are my pawn. With you, I can get him."
Her eyes widened, and she realizes that he is anything but human. Sasuke, then activates the curse seal, changing forms into a real live devil. He is the devil -- who ascended to earth himself simply to create misery in her life.
"You're scared, aren't you? Sakura darling." she shivers at his morbid gaze. "Your eyes reflect everything you are thinking right now. But let me tell you: You are weak. Pathetic. And no matter how much you want to, you will not be able to save his life."
Her gaze rests down onto the ground, and lowers her lashes as she utters, "If... you take my life... Will you spare Naruto's?"
Onyx eyes narrow into slits. "That is why you're pathetic. You would rather give up your own life for his and you think by doing that that, you would be able to save him. You are honestly too stupid and too idealistic for your own good." There is no benevolence in his voice. Every sentence drips and pierces through her very being, just like a knife through flesh. "But if you're wishing for it, I can complete the favor."
"I... I hate you, Uchiha Sasuke." she whispers softly, and the tears that she can no longer hold in spill from her eyes, trailing down her cheeks.
Uchiha Sasuke stares down at her with an indecipherable face, and his face changes miraculously into a cruel one of the devil. "I wouldn't say hate. The word is intolerable. You can't tolerate me, and the reason being that you can't be apart from me. The truth is, you hate yourself for not being able to stop yourself from loving me."
She cannot deny anything, for he has spoken the truth. Her body is numb, and she is incoherent. Nothing. No words can bend the disgusting truth.
Sasuke then leans down to her ear and with a seductive smile, he murmurs, "Can you take it? If the person you love kills you?" Even his breath was alluring, like the scent of alcohol. Sasuke then whirls her around and captures her lips in a harsh kiss. That is then, when Sakura realizes the truth:
Uchiha Sasuke will kill her.
Whether it be physically or mentally, she will die under his cold grasp.
Because loving him is an addiction. A deadly addiction. And now that she has finally gotten another taste of him, it will be nearly impossible to move on.

a/n: I wrote a part two for this, but I'm not sure if I should post it up. It's a bit odd.... maybe I should do it on livejournal. What do you guys think?
Review! Anything is welcome -- criticisms, reviews, notes, love letters... ;p
