A/N: Well, MLF and zyeIN reviewed again, but my other (looks at traffic page) FIFTY FIVE readers have not? So why not drop me a line? Chances are, I'll list you up here.

Anyways, thank you for reading. (Btw, I got this idea because I dislocated my knee cap yesterday. Fun, I know)

"Where is he? Is he alright?"

Tohru slammed open Hatori's house door. Luckily, it didn't break, but it was uncharacteristic.

The ex-dragon coolly looked up from his patient. "By 'he' I'm assuming you mean Momiji right here?" Then he moved to the side to let Tohru see the blond boy on the floor.

"Oh my gosh! Momiji-kun, are you alright? Does it hurt? Is there anything I can do? You see, I brought some gelatin I made last night, since Isuzu-san always likes gelatin and she's been to hospitals a lot so—"

"Tohru, it's alright. It's just a broken arm!" Momiji sat up, laughing a little.

"Oh. Alright, but I just wanted to make sure you were okay. I mean, when I heard, I rushed out of work to come see you."

Momiji's eyes softened. "Thank you…Tohru."

"For what?"

"Just…for being here." His eyes lingered on her left hand. "That ring…"
"Oh, you mean the engagement band?" She looked down at it and unconsciously twisted it around. "Yeah…Kyo got it for me, of course, since we're going to get married soon. We just don't know when but," she smiled a little, "…it will be soon."

Momiji was silent, and looked down at his cast. Then he looked up again, a smile plastered on his face.

"Okay! So, how about that gelatin?"

"Alright! Um, I think I put it here…"

While Tohru was getting out the dessert, Hatori went to his office, claiming he had work…something about "stupid Shigure getting frost bite in awkward places again."

Tohru put on Momiji's lap. "Now, is there anything I can do to help?"

He stared at her intently. "Yeah."

Then he kissed her.

It was so quick that she didn't even know what happened until he was done.

"Eh? EH!" Tohru's face lit up like fire as she started to freak out.

"Calm down, it was only a test," said Momiji passively as he went back to eating his dessert.

"…A….test?"

"Yeah, I was making sure you were committed to Kyo."

"Oh. Did I pass the test?"

He smiled at her oblivious expression.

"Of course. You didn't kiss back."

"Oh, okay. Well, I have to get back to work, but I'll see you soon, you know. Oh, and when we get a wedding date, I'll tell you!"

"…Alright."

"Bye!"

"Bye…"

And so she left. But he wanted her to stay.
