Sakura grabbed him by the side of his head, pulling him a breath away from her. "I have to go," she stated bitterly as she fought back the searing tears. "I love you so, so much!"

"Where are you going?" He asked in panic. Reaching out he grabbed her four arm, knowing his physical strength would be nothing against hers. The thought of her being able to crush him with a single hand didn't even register as he desperately held onto her. "I- you can't leave me! I need you!" He declared frantically.

Sakura shook her head, her breathing becoming quick and ragged as she looked at him with wide green eyes. "It's not my choice!" Her left hand slid down from the side of his face, cupping his neck in a steal grip. The wind swirling around them started picking up, the gust of it centered around Sakura. "This isn't my time," she screamed over the noise, "I don't belong here!"

"What does that even mean? Sakura!" Her feet lifted off the ground and Minato pulled her closer, hands gripping her painfully tight. He loved her; Minato knew the girl would be something special to him the moment she dropped into his life. Sakura had fallen from the sky, her small body leaving a crater in the earth. She had been strong and demanding and kind and beautifuland she couldn't leave him!

She couldn't hold the tears back now, "I grow up with your son." His eyes widened but his hold on her didn't waver, "He grows up to be a wonderful man!" His son? Did they have a kid together? No, that wouldn't make since. Sakura wasn't pregnant now, Minato had explored every part of her body. He had been her first time, there was no way she could have a child and while growing up with him. "You'll find love," she explained and he could see the hurt written across her face, "and you'll be happy!" He knew when a thought hit her and in a quivering voice she gave him directions, told exactly what not to do to survive.

"I love you," he said as she inched out his grip.

She smiled and now the tears came streaming down her face, quickly being swept away by the demanding wind. "I know," she replied. Minatio didn't need to hear the words to know she loved him back.

Minato yanked her close and in a rush he pressed his lips to her, stealing the breath from her body. The kiss was chaste as the wind ripped Sakura from Minato's hands. He cupped his hands over his mouth and screamed frantically, "I'll wait for you!" He watched the brief smile flash across her face before screaming once more, "Always!"

A/N: this was requested by a guest with the name "kudos author", they had made two request; one for them and another with my favorite pairing. i don't think i have a favorite pairing with sakura, i love her with everyone. although, admittedly, i do have a soft spot for her and minato, so here ya' go. another thing is, though, is that the story won't always have something to do with their title; they'll be written how i feel the title had inspired me. thanks for reading! xoxo
