Time passed.

Sakura looked at her watch; counting down the hours, minutes, until Sai would be gone. Hinata had told her she should follow her heart, do what she needed to be happy. But she didn't know, would he make her happy?

The clock ticked slowly in her ear.

You're wasting time! Go find him! That's what her heart wanted.

Sakura sighed and looked at her watch once more. It said 10 o'clock. She only had two hours until he left her life for good. She wiped away a tear that slid down her cheek and graced her bottom lip softly. She was crying and she didn't know why. Is Sai what she wanted?

Her heart said yes. But why was she denying it?

"Sai.." His name fell from her lips before she could control what she was saying. Sai was there for her. He was always there. Never did he disappoint her or break her heart. Sai... was...

Everything to her.

An hour and thirty minutes passed.

Sakura got in her car and rushed to the airport as fast as she could. She had finally made up her mind; Sai was hers and it was supposed to stay that way.

She constantly looked at the clock in her car, eying it every five minutes. She didn't want to be late. She couldn't be late. Sakura had to keep him with her.

If not... she was lost.

Sakura sped into the parking lot and slid into a space, just before putting it into park, then jumping out. She looked at her watch again and it was almost twelve! Sai would be gone in less than five minutes! She had to hurry.

The pinkette rushed into the airport, frantically looking around for her black haired savior. She spotted him just across the aisle; getting ready to board the plane.

"Sai!" She yelled; rushing towards him. Sai perked up at the sound of his name and turned towards her. Their eyes met and it was like time froze in their hands. He dropped his suitcase as she ran towards him; gathering her in his arms. Sakura held him tightly as light tears fell from her eyes.

"I don't want you to leave! Stay with me." She pulled back and looked at him. He just smiled at her and wiped away the tears, kissing her on the lips softly. "I wouldn't want anything else."

She smiled and hugged him tighter; finally feeling at peace with her heart again.

Sai and Sakura drove home together, mending their love once again.

And hours later, while they laid next to one another in Sai's bed, he turned toward her and kissed her lips. "I love you." He said, while stroking her cheeks with his thumbs. She was everything he wanted. And he finally had her.

"Sai... Oh Sai.. I love you too." Sakura kissed him back, feeling her heart almost jump clear out of her chest.

Their feelings... went on and on, for three years.
