Momo woke up on the couch bed at Kyoko and Kai's apartment. She had spent the whole night almost, eating junk food and catching up on what she had missed. They had rented Return to Me, Kate and Leopold, and City of Angels. Crying half the time or laughing other times screaming at the TV. She had a lot of fun, more so then she had been anyway.
"Kyoko?" She looked around to find Kyoko sitting at the kitchen table drinking an espresso she had picked up around the corner.
"Hey, you slept late, it's already nine thirty—"
"What?! I'm going to miss my appointment! I've got to go, can I barrow your car? I bring it back in like an hour. Mine is at my house, I don't have time to go get it." Momo was desperate.
"Sure, why not, just don't total it or anything, k`?" She laughed throwing the keys into Momo's hands.
"Yeah." Momo smiled quickly throwing her hair back grabbing her purse and running out the door. "Talk to you later!"

"Okay Mr. Okayasu you can go to room seven forty-one, there is a girl waiting for her blood to be drawn, she just came back to Japan a few days ago, so she needs blood work done now." Kiley smiled and nodded.
'Momo.' He ran towards the elevator all decked out in blue scrubs, similar to his dream…
--------------
Momo took a deep breath. She had barley made it in time. She ran the whole way from the parking lot a block away and through the crows of people to the elevator and to the front desk where they threw her into a room to wait.
She looked out a window at the clear blue sky. Her hair seemed to glow as it reflected off the sun. Kiley stood silent in the door way. There was a try that had the needle and other assorted things, such as band aids and antiseptic. He didn't know what to say at first so he just watched her in silence for a minute. 'She's even more beautiful then I remember…' Kiley thought. "Hey peach girl." Kiley said simply.
Momo's eyes widened and her mouth parted a little. She knew that voice. "Kiley?" Momo turned around quickly and looked at him for a minute. "Is it you?" She took a step forward still in shock.
"Who the heck else would have this voice?!" He laughed as she ran over to him and hugged him tightly.
"I missed you so much!" Momo smiled as Kiley, slightly surprised by her actions, hesitantly wrapped his arms around her small wait and held her tightly closing his eyes.
"I missed you too." Kiley sighed resting his head against hers.
"Wait, Kiley?"
"Hmm?" Kiley pulled away slightly.
"Why are you here?" She looked him over again noticing that he was wearing a pain of scrubs.
"Heh, you are looking at the future Dr. Kiley Okayasu!" Kiley did a little pose making Momo burst into tears laughing. "Hey!" He whimpered. "Be nice, I'm the one that has to stab you with a needle." He smirked as she went pale.
"I guess you already know what happened between Toji and me…" Tears brimmed her eyes once again and Kiley's heart fell.
"Stop, don't cry." Kiley grabbed her and hugged her again. "If he did something like that, then you were never meant to be Momo. You've just got to move on. I'll always be here for you anyways, you know that. So no worries." Kiley's eyes widened. Had he just said that out loud?
"Thank you again Kiley. For caring about me even now." She cried again hugging him tighter.
"I never did stop caring about you." Kiley bit down on his tong kicking himself for saying that. 'Damn it; don't take advantage of her when she's upset!'
"Mr. Okayasu?!" The teacher barged in. "What the hell is this?!" He was fuming.
"She's… An old friend." Kiley pulled away but Momo still stayed by him leaning her back into his chest.'
"Does that give you an excuse?!"
"I'm sorry, I started it." Momo smiled bowing. "I just got back, he helped me and my… Faience get together. Without him who knows where I would be today." Momo smiled brightly whipping away her tears.
"Hmm… I'll let it slide by this time, but see that it doesn't happen again."
"Yes. We will." Kiley sneered, as she walked away.
"Well, better get it done and over with huh?" Kiley smiled. "Thanks for saving me, you didn't have to."
"It doesn't matter; it kind of was my fault anyway."
"You to go get a coffee or something in a half hour?" Kiley smiled as he tied the yellow ribbon around her right arm.
"I… Oww! Sure." She smiled sheepishly flinching a little after he took the small sample of blood. His hair was still slightly long like it had been after he had gotten Sae back for what she had done to Momo. He had grown slightly taller, but other wise he was the same Kiley. 'I'm glad he hasn't changed much…'
"You do?!" Kiley was nearly jumping for joy. "Finally the day my girl says yes!" He threw his hands into the air.
Momo laughed. "Hey, stop you're going to get yelled at again."
----------------
A figure stood off in the distance bighting their thumb nail and clenching their fists tightly together. "I will drag her down yet." The figure screamed running off into the shadows.
----------------
Time went by quickly and it wasn't long before Kiley was free from his restraints and able to run to his one and only Momo. She was sitting patiently in the cafeteria with a beagle in her hand. "Ready to go?" Kiley asked coming up from behind her and making her jump.
"Oh! Don't do that! You always do that." Momo whined standing up and she put on her navy blue fall jacket.
"Sorry, its just fun to scare you." She glared at him only to have a box be thrown in front of her.
"I… Here, I meant to give this to you after graduation, but I missed you and then you left. So here, I'll give it to you now." Momo frowned, slightly tearing away at the red wrapping paper to reveal a small black leather box. Momo looked up strangely at Kiley who seemed distant. What was with him? She opened up the box and stopped dead in her tracks. In it lay a small gold heart with a diamond in the middle that was attached to a matching gold choker chain.
"Oh my God, Kiley! I can't accept this!" She looked up at him. He didn't show any emotions. "Kiley?"
"It'll look great on you, just like it did on…" He trailed off turning around the street corner as a gust of wind blew.
"On who Kiley?" She looked at him in question.
"Forget about it, just forget I ever said that alright?!" His voice had gone cold, something Momo thought could never happen with Kiley.
"I… I'm sorry." She bowed her head looking down at her feet as she walked.
Kiley bit his lower lip turning around and hugging her again. "I'm sorry I yelled." He sighed. "I've had that thing since I was in the eighth grade. So it's not like I can return it now." He pulled away from her as they neared the park where the small coffee shop was. "Her name was Adriane. Our parents had set up an arranged marriage for us. At first I hated the idea of having my parents making me marry someone I didn't even know. But when I saw her… Just think of it at love at first sight." Kiley smiled slightly. "She liked me also; we knew each other since we were in the first grade. I had bought the necklace to give to her when we graduated middle school. But she was diagnosed with heart disease in the first week of ninth grade. She didn't last a month." Kiley closed his eyes picturing her. She had very long dark, almost black hair and gray-blue eyes.
"Kiley, I never knew. I'm sorry—"
"That's why I almost drowned." He smirked.
"Wha?" Momo looked at him strangely.
"You can blame her for both times. The ocean and the pool." Kiley sighed taking a deep breath as his heart pulled. "When I was swimming out in the water, I didn't plan on being saved Momo." Kiley bit his lower lip and looked over at Momo who just stared at him with a look of worry and confusion. "I wanted to drown. I wanted to be with her. But then you saved me, and I noticed how stupid I was. In the pool I didn't try to kill myself, I had dropped a picture her and I, just after she got sick into the pool. I tried to get it out with a broom but, I slipped and hit my head on the side of the pool before I fell in. It knocked me out." Kiley stood up frowning. "Happy now?"
"Kiley?" His voice was colder then ice and cut right through Momo's heart. He closed his eyes tightly.
"I gave you that because you're the only other person that I've cared for as much as I had for Adriane." Kiley blushed. "So what type off coffee do you want?" He smiled slightly seeing the perplexed look on her face. "Don't be all depressed and unhappy, that's worse then having you cry." Kiley brushed a stray piece of hair from Momo's face and walked up to the small little shop that was in the middle of the park, next to a small pond.
"Vanilla roast, please." Momo looked at the ground. 'He just admitted he love me. But not like a love crush, he said it like he really meant it.' She looked into the box again and took out the necklace. "Kiley?"
"Yeah?"
"Can you put it on me?" Momo smiled as Kiley's eyes fell warm and soft again.
"Sure." He chuckled lightly.
"Crap…" Momo mumbled. "We have to go back to the hospital, I left Kyoko's car at the parking garage…"
"Heh, yeah it's no problem." Momo turned around showing of the necklace that went with her v-necked, brown wool sweater, and dark-blue flare pants. Kiley couldn't say anything, he just smiled in approval.
"That good looking on me huh?" Momo took a sip of the frothy drink as she linked her hand with Kiley's freely. He blushed right away, and Momo just smiled back.
