The weather had been very warm for this time of the year in Japan and for Keiichi it was a perfect day to take his bike for a ride through the city to Nekomi Tech to see what the members of the NIT Motor Club were doing. It was the beginning of the week and Keiichi was off from Whirlwind and was going to enjoy the day the best he could without Belldandy by his side. Chihiro, the owner of Whirlwind, had asked Belldandy to come in on Monday to help her balance the books and sort through customer order's so that Keiichi and she could work through the rest of the week and weekend together.

As Keiichi warmed up his bike he looked around the temple grounds to verify that there were no hidden surprises waiting for him around the corner when he took off. He had not seen the other two Goddesses the entire morning and that made him worry that they were after something new that would involve him. Urd, Belldandy's older half-sister was known to try and sneak potions and spells into his food and through forceful application against his will. Skuld, Belldandy's younger sister, was known to try and use technology to separate him from Belldandy as much as possible so that she could be alone with her older sister more than Keiichi. He loved them both as family and yet he knew that no matter what he would have to stay on his guard when they were not within his sight.

"Hey, Keiichi," came a voice.

Keiichi looked around the temple grounds not finding a body to accompany the voice that was speaking to him. As he looked up towards the Heavens he finally found the person that was speaking to him. The person that was calling his name was the embodied version of the Gate hovering twenty feet above his head looking down at him. She had the form of a sixteen year old covered with light green hair a smile that told Keiichi that he was in for some trouble if he was not careful.

"Good Afternoon. How can I help you today," asked Keiichi as she floated down to the ground and hovered inches off the ground so that she was eye level with him. Her eyes stayed fixed on him as she began to circle around him through the air. He knew that that the only times that she would come to Earth was when something was wrong or if she really needed something. She finally stopped in front of him and leaned forward so that her face was only mere inches away from his.

"I've brought news for you from Heaven, Keiichi-san. However I will only deliver the message to you once you make a payment to me. The only payment that I will accept is a kiss."

Keiichi fell backwards at the request she made of him. Was Belldandy called back to Heaven and did not have time to tell him? Was the Almighty unhappy with the way that Keiichi was treating Belldandy and was going to ask him to recall his wish? What has happened in Heaven to have forced the Gate to take form to come and talk to him in person? Keiichi closed his eyes and puckered his lips waiting for the Gate to make her move on him. He did not have a choice and hoped that Belldandy would forgive him for what he was about to do.

After what seemed like ages he opened his eyes to see what was happening. The Gate stood before him holding a bag in one hand and an empty silver wrapper in the other hand. She continued to chew on something that she had within her mouth watching him with curiosity written on her face.

As she swallowed what she had within her mouth she pulled out another small piece of silver wrapped candy from the bag and popped it into her mouth. Keiichi turned his head to the side to read what was written on the black bag and realized what the Gate was eating was Chocolate Kisses that he had hidden within the kitchen from Skuld and Peorth. When she said that she wanted a kiss she must have been referring to the chocolate kisses that he had and not an actual kiss like he thought.

"Are you ready to receive your message, Keiichi-san? The message comes from Urd who would like to convey the following information: 'I am currently in Heaven with Skuld working on a glitch that has manifested itself. As you remember the timeline is different here within the 10th dimension than it is there upon the Earth so I cannot tell you exactly when we will be back. Please take care of yourself and Belldandy to the best of your abilities until we have arrived back. Also do remember that it is White Day at the end of the week and that you are obligated to purchase a gift for Belldandy."

Keiichi thanked the Gate and offered her the entire bag of chocolate for taking the time to come down to Earth and delivering the message to him. What surprised him was that Urd had asked the Gate to speak directly to Keiichi instead of either her or Skuld calling him on the phone like they have in the past. For her to ask the Gate to actually take the time to come down to Earth and close down the connection between all the other worlds and Heaven was very unlikely unless it was not Urd who asked the Gate to come down but someone else.

"Before I go Keiichi there is another message that I must deliver to you."

Keiichi looked up to where the gate floated within the sky inserting the key into her that would open the cross dimensional riff for everyone else.

"Do not fear the man within the wolf skin for he is the one that will help you to find what you are looking for. If I were you, Morisato, I would heed the words of the Almighty very carefully and make sure that you do exactly what he wants you to do."

As the Gate disappeared within the sky Keiichi felt his legs give out from underneath him. The Almighty had sent the Gate down to the Earth Plane to send him a personal message. As he thought back to the last few times that he had received a message from the Almighty he felt his blood run cold. Will he become possessed by a wolf spirit? Will Belldandy have to save the down from being demolished from some horrible demon? What horrible tragedy was going to befall Belldandy and him again that the Almighty felt he had to warn Keiichi about?

"There is only one way to find out what is about to happen," he said to himself as he got upon his bike and began his journey out into the city towards the university on the lookout for Destiny and what was waiting for him.
