A/N : The best part. My jig is up.

"Sasuke…" she barely whispered, but it seemed as if it was enough to reach him.

"Hi, Sakura," he smiled into her eyes, tilting his head ever so gently to the left, and every doubt in her seemed to simply vanish.

If her heart could thump any louder, Sakura was sure everyone in the room would go deaf in an instant. He was here. He… found her. And honestly, she did not know if she wanted to chide him for making her think he didn't want her, or wrap him in a hug that he was finally here.

"You… didn't leave a message," she said, words making their way out of her mouth. "Or an address."

Sasuke's smile still tugged at the corner of his lip as he pulled out his phone from his back pocket. But instead of unlocking it, he held it up with two fingers to show her the back side as he continued to hold her gaze that turned her crimson.

"OH!" her eyes widened in surprise, only to find a business card stuck on the inside of his phone cover. And at that moment she felt very stupid, because she had never flipped his phone over to look at the other side.

"Hm," he said, trying to control his smile. "What I want to know is why were you not at the hospital today, Doctor?" he asked in reply, narrowing his eyes ever so slightly.

Her eyes widened once more, and her face flushed red as she lowered her eyes for a moment and looked back at him sheepishly.

Sasuke bent down slightly to reach her ear to phrase his next question in a whisper. "It would not have anything to do with me being in the same city and say, not leaving you a message now, would it?" he teased, coming back to his original stance.

Sakura's lips parted ever so slightly in surprise as her hands shot to cover her face instantly. Sasuke wanted to swoon right there, the way his heart melted away at the sight. Something was flooding his ocean heart and he only wanted to allow it.

When she lowered her hands once again, her answer came. "Maybe?" she whispered, looking up at him. "I thought you didn't like me," she said, biting her lip.

"Tch," he smirked at last. "Annoying," he added as he instantly reached out to hold her delicate hands and pulled her close.

Her face flushed even more so, as her heart pounded within her chest, and her hands rested on his chest as he held her even closer to his body by her waist. Pressing a kiss to her forehead, something that garnered a gasp from her, he finally whispered, "It's okay. I found you," as the two finally dissolved into a hug.

From afar, five gawking faces could only assume what had just happened, because the couple in question seemed to be too much in love to be disturbed. For now, they were home.
