He stormed into Momo's room. But seeing Kiley and Momo hugging like that did NOT help his mood. Embracing, sure. They had both been through a lot recently. But there was a look on Kiley's face that told him it was more than just a hug.
He slammed the door shut, and Momo dropped Kiley in her surprise.
"Oh, Toji! You scared me! I had the most awful…"
"How many times do I have to hear the phrase 'Oh, Toji!' 'Oh, my Toji dearest!' 'Oh, Toji! I'm lost without you!!'???"
Momo and Kiley were both very surprised at this, and also very confused. He sighed and, avoiding their eyes, flopped into a chair.
"Sorry," he mumbled.
"So… um. How's Sae?" Kiley was obviously trying to break the silence.
"Oh, the doctor said this night will probably be her last."
At this, Momo jumped out of bed. "How can you be so calm at that!!?? I have to go see her!"
Following her out of the room, Kiley looked back at Toji as he stood back up and headed toward the door.
When they arrived the room, they saw Sae, still hanging off the edge of her bed, and kneeling, Momo, cradling Sae's head. Momo was crying so hard.
"What could I do, Sae???"
Kiley nodded at Toji, who then lifted Momo up, and tried to calm her down all the way back to her room. Kiley was about to leave, when he decided he better get Sae back on the bed.
Being so close to her, he felt such great pity, that it consumed him. Like the prince in Snow White, he leaned down and kissed her pale and cracked lips. He was as surprised at his actions as Sae, whose eyes came fluttering open.
"Um. Kiley? What the hell are you doing???"
"Sorry, Sae! Um. I'm… yeah."
He bolted out of the room, and Sae was left with her thoughts. She drifted back to sleep, but for the first time in months, she wasn't plagued with nightmares.

Hehe I like this chapter. Now don't get me wrong, I'm a major Kiley/Momo fan, but I think that for this fic, it would seem better with Toji as her lover…Whatever, no more spoilers! *zips her mouth shut*
