A couple of days had passed since Seto's discharge from the hospital. He was making a full recovery from his concussion and now stayed cooped up in his home office. Much to the doctor's protest, he was eager to get back to work on his company. Feeling another headache come on, which were quite frequent due to his refusal to listen to the doctor and rest; he doused another painkiller down his throat. He turned back to his computer and furiously began to type at the keys.

Seto turned away from the screen again upon hearing a soft knock at the door. He allowed access as he looked back to his work. He could tell by how they knocked on who it was. "I trust you have a reason for disturbing me." Seto stated.

"I just wanted to see how you were doing." Sakura said.

"I'm fine."

"I was hoping for a bit more of an explanation."

He glared at her briefly. "My head is killing me, is that good enough for you?"

Sakura fell silent and glanced nervously towards the ground. She wasn't sure what to say to him.

"Did you come here to just ask me that?" Seto questioned.

"No, there's something else." he turned towards her. "I never got the chance to thank you… for saving me."

Seto continued to stare at her. "You're welcome."

Sakura smiled briefly at him. "But… why did you do it?"

"Excuse me?"

"Why did you come after me? I mean, when we talked before that, you said you didn't need me. I didn't think you'd care."

"I never said I didn't care."

"You certainly seemed like it."

"Well, then you got the wrong idea."

Sakura raised an eyebrow as she rubbed her forearm awkwardly. "I guess so." A thick silence fell over the duo until Sakura spoke again. "Listen, I also want to apologize about when we spoke last. There were quite a few things I shouldn't have said to you. I'm sorry."

"Don't waste my time with your apology."

Sakura looked at him puzzled. She then frowned. "You know, if you wanted me to leave, you could've just said so." Sakura turned towards the door and stepped forward.

"Sakura. Wait." Seto stood from his desk chair and headed for the doorway and blocked it before she could leave. She stared blankly from the doorknob up to meet his eyes. They were their usual serious sapphire self, but not as cold.

"What? So now you change your mind?" Sakura inquired.

"Could you stop jumping to conclusions for one second?"

"Then stop confusing me! One day you kept pushing me away and now you're saying you want me back?"

"You're not paying attention!"

Sakura eyed him carefully. "Then tell me what I'm not seeing."

Seto sighed. "I've never changed my mind, Sakura. I stick to something and I do it. Caring and being with you was no exception. I wouldn't have been with you if I thought it was a waste of time."

Sakura looked to him patiently as he continued.

"When you were kidnapped, why do you think I went after you? Because I hated you? If you thought that, then you're dumber than I suspected. Being with you meant I was the happiest I've been in a long time and I wasn't about to lose that."

"But you got injured because of me."

Seto scoffed. "And you think I care compared to the injuries you could've gotten?"

"Well, it's just… I'm sorry."

"Again with the apologies. You don't need to waste your breath on them. I forgive you."

Sakura gave a brief smile towards him.

Seto slowly reached out and intertwined his fingers with hers. "I don't want to lose you again, Sakura. That's happened to too many people in my life. If allowed, I want a second chance with you."

"Seto, I'm not-"

"I'm in love with you, Sakura. Nothing could change that. Even if I don't express it."

Sakura couldn't keep herself from smiling. She felt her eyes begin to water, but she had to use all of her strength to prevent her from sobbing uncontrollably. She immediately threw her arms around his neck and laughed to herself. Seto put his own arms around her waist and rested his chin on her shoulder. "I love you too, Seto." Sakura spoke. "I've missed you."

Seto smiled. "Then we have a mutual agreement."

Sakura chuckled softly and stared to him, smiling as she did so. "Anything else left unsaid?"

"Actually, there is something else."

Sakura went to question him, but was stopped when his lips landed on hers. She slowly smiled against his lips and melted into his warmth, something she had missed during the time they were apart. Seto cupped her cheeks in his hands while Sakura threaded her fingers through his dark hair. Their relationship had truly begun anew.

I need a nap. For the past 4 days, I've been in the USA capital and I just got home today, so I'm running on like 4 hours sleep and I've been working at this for… 8 hours. Hopefully the epilogue should be up in no later than a week, though it's hard to predict. I'm not sure what to do for it, but marriage would be a no-no. I'd have to like fast-forward 10 years ahead 'cause we know how Seto is. That could ruin any possible/unlikely sequels (that dang subject keeps pestering me!). Anyhoo, I'll see ya then!
