Yeah, so I know I haven't updated anything in, like, well a long time. Good reasons for that, but all of them are personal and family issues, (plus the job hunt and a few gatherings such as Easter and so forth) needless to say, I've been too busy too really sit down and work with, well, anything. I do have a temp job, part time now, so that takes up majority of my focus. Because of that, I haven't had a chance too really work with anything that I would have too invest increasing amounts of time in. I did find myself watching this anime quite recently though, and now, for some odd reason, I can't get the idea out of my head. So, yeah, that's why I'm doing this. Don't worry though, I haven't forgotten about the others, but as for right now, I need a different gear track.
This is probably really crappy, but hey, this is the first time I've tried doing this type of idea.
Summary: Megumi has finally found out what the goddesses really do, and has since come to terms with those facts, but, when someone comes around and sirs up trouble, Megumi finds herself with a new lifestyle that she just can't possibly understand. Someone will have too help her through it, but who?
I don't own Ah, My Goddess!
"So, he wished for the near impossible, and, he got it. Perfect! Of all the things my brother gets into, that really takes the cake, ya know?" Megumi sighed. It had been roughly three weeks since everything sort of spilled out. "I guess it makes sense now though...how everything sort of added up." She hadn't exactly taken it well, but, coming to terms with something so outlandish wasn't expected to be easy. "He always gets the lucky breaks."
"Well, that's Belldandy for you." Urd could agree. The entire thing was a bit over the top. "It isn't as if she expected the wish to be granted, although I am happy for her. I can see she really loves him, as he does her. Still, I've started wondering why exactly that is." Her eyes followed the current surroundings, watching onward as Skuld once again chased Keiichi around for getting near the first class goddess. "He's a good guy, don't get me wrong. It's just, he's...well..." Urd fidgeted for the right word, coming up short.
"Normal?" Megumi offered hopefully. Surely she could come up with something more rude, lord only knew just how much of a coward he could be, but even she didn't want to use such harsh words.
"Yes, let's just use that shall we?" Urd agreed, sighing as she ignored more high pitched yelling. The youngest in the household causing quite the stir. "She loves him, and even a blind man could see that, but sometimes I wonder what she see's in him."
"She's perfect." Megumi ranted. "Just perfect, one hundred percent. He'd never hurt her. They're both so innocent that he is the perfect guy for her. They can both be dense together. If I were him, there's no telling what I would have done by now."
"Just what are you driving at?" Urd asked with mock humor. She already had an idea, but she was never one to bypass a good tease when it landed into her lap.
Unfortunately for Urd, Megumi wasn't anything like her brother in that respect. "She's a goddess!" Megumi laughed as if that were the most obvious answer in the world. "Hell, even I think she's sexy. If I were him, well, lets face it, something would be cooking in the kitchen right now, and it would clearly not be dinner."
"Point taken." It wasn't a lie. Everyone felt drawn towards Belldandy. She was the type of woman who just had the entire world eating from the palm of her hand. Nothing would dissuade her from having anything she wanted, and for her, that wish was Keiichi. "But you know, there are plenty of other goddesses floating around here too, not just Belldandy. If it were just the fact of her being a goddess, then trust me when I say, Keiichi would have had plenty of which he could have picked from."
"Who?" Megumi grinned conspiratorially. "Skuld is still just a kid. He'd never date her, even if she can be prone to rapid aging. Never mind the fact she takes far more joy out of harassing him than sorting out her real feelings." Her eyes then traced Urd's body calmly. She wasn't ogling the eldest of the group by any means, but she wasn't merely glancing either. "Then there's you. Urd, you're smart, sexy, and part demon. Like he would really stand a chance? He's afraid of someone like you. He could barely deal with Belldandy kissing him. If you offered yourself, he'd likely have a heart attack."
"There is that at least." Urd smiled, accepting the hidden compliment. Still, her mind couldn't forget that one part. "What do you think of it...my being part demon I mean. It doesn't seem like you're put off by it."
"Why would I be?" Megumi asked, honestly interested in that turn of events.
"Because, I am a demon, even of only partly. I could fall towards that side of myself at any time."
"You haven't."
"I haven't...but, it would be easy."
"How so?" The question was one of curiosity.
"There are so many ways I could become weak enough that I would accept that power."
"You really aren't any different from us if you think about it."
"Who are you taking about?" Urd didn't understand that analogy at all. She had been compared with many things, but never- "You can't possibly mean I'm like you mortals."
"I don't really know." Megumi shrugged as she placed a few textbooks away. "We 'mere mortals' are very much demonic when we want to be. Don't tell me you haven't watched the news stations, some of us can do some really evil things when we want too. We may not have super powers, but it seems like these days, all you truly need is some mean words and a weapon or two, if all you really want to do is spread misfortune. Human's don't really need to have a demon bloodline just to do that." It was just then that Keiichi stepped out from beyond a cloud of smoke, Skuld's temper likely had gotten the best of her. "Then there are guys like him, guys who try so hard to do good things in this world...just like you goddesses."
Urd let that sink in, only half listening as she bid Megumi goodbye before the girl went home for the night. Her mind wasn't fully comprehending what she had been told. Still, she felt as if perhaps there was a little bit of truth from all that had been said. Urd stretched, and then stood, her own body tired from a long day. A cold beer and her warm bed sounded like a wonderful plan. With that, she moseyed down the hall, now riddled with the aftermath of Skuld's havoc induced temperament. Taking one last look at her surroundings, she chuckled despite herself. "Mortals...no way in hell am I anything like them."
!
"The real issue here is that my child really doesn't wish to be apart of my plan." Hild dramatically sighed. Crossing one leg over the other, she tapped her finger upon her throne, one made of only the finest metals and stone. Dark oppression wasn't exactly her thing, although she had to admit, she hated heaven's ideal of pristine white perfection even more. "I wouldn't be here now if she had agreed willingly, but surely you know that."
"Indeed, I do." His voice boomed with power, yet, it was a kind and gentle tone filled with care. The all knowing, ever loving man that he was, sat in a similar char across the room. The Almighty seemed amused by these events. "It has been a long time since we have sat and thoroughly discussed matters in this way. I am pleased we could enjoy a glass of wine together, even if I am most displeased for your reasons at this time."
"It isn't as if you can blame me, she isn't just my child." Hild accused with a glare as she took another sip of the fine liquid in front of her. "I mean, surely I could simply bed down with another demon, but why would I do that when I already have a proper heir?" Heaven was immaculate, not that hell wasn't. Both places were known for perfection in the image of their respective rulers. Still this counsel meeting wasn't purely for show. There was a real reason behind this particular gathering. "It has been a long time since the last devil born of human blood. Mara was the last, if I do remember correctly. Shouldn't it be time that a new child be passed along into the world of temptation?"
"Indeed, as much as I'd hate to admit it." The Almighty sighed. He knew he would need to give consent for this eventually. "I had been hoping Urd would have taken her place, but my power of the divine has made her distrust demon kind. I was wrong to assume a new era could hail from a child such as she."
"Then as it is, The Great Almighty, that the counsel has come forth with a decision. Should you choose to accept our idea." One of the angel's stepped forth. In his hand a horn, his place normally at the gate of heaven itself. He was one of the few with the gift of speech, and one of free will. "It is true that when a human passes on, they become an angle who will serve a god or a goddess. Those that have done right by your name, oh great one, it is they who find redemption here. Urd may not wish to become an heir, but, there is a human who could likely take her place."
"A human...a mortal?" Hild held back her laughter. It was already sounding like a preposterous idea. Still she listened on.
"Yes, indeed a human." The angel nodded. "A human woman can be bestowed with the powers of unholy light, those of your own, Mistress Hild. The child would be created in your image, and in your power. She would embrace hell, and all that the underworld would offer her. This child, would be one with all that is evil, such as you, yourself wish it."
" I have a very bad feeling about that." Hild sighed. "I don't want a child within my image, if I had, it is as I've stated, I would have bed down with a demon." Hild eyed the pure light that engulfed the man who had once offered her a child. Her gaze searched him, looking for some sort of answer, then, she turned back towards the angel before them. "I wish for a child to be born, one in Urd's name. A human woman shall carry this child, teaching her all the temptations that mortals must suffer. When this child is born, she will be raised by this woman into adulthood. From there, she will take on the path of unholy light as my heir, and our grandchild." With that she addressed the great king once again. "Do you agree by this wish, Almighty one?"
He seemed not to move. He wasn't in any great haste, but instead he mulled carefully. It was a few moments of silence, a few seconds of baited breath. "A virgin shall birth the child. She will be a girl, and her name shall be decided upon by Urd herself. Urd and the woman I choose shall raise the baby as if it were their own, but Hild, understand that I can not guarantee you an heir by those facts alone. Balance must be kept, and just as your world has your rules, so too does Heaven and those of Earth. The only one who could possibly decide that fate, would be the child once she has come of age." The Almighty turned then, addressing one of his many servants. "Summon Urd here, she must be told of the forthcoming events."
-More later-
Yeah, like I said, kinda crappy, but hope you like it.
