Oh My goddess: Memories of a goddess.
Chapter One: The meeting
It was a typical day in the life of college student Kyo Mishima, a student of music in Nekomi Tech, though usually more renowned for it's engineering and other sorts of courses dealing with technology in some shape or for, the college does have other courses like arts and music. Kyo has finished his class and is currently making his way, letting out a sigh the student strolls down the street crossing the road towards the market. He waves at a couple of the vendors as he walks on through.
"I see lively today that's always a good sign." Thought Kyo as he slipped his hands into his pockets as he continued on walking, passing the various stalls. He waves at the old woman whom he bought the good luck charm from a while ago, stopping at the fruit and vegetable stall.
"Oh hey Kyo, I have you order right here, you best get round to the fish stall quick to pick your fish he will be closing up soon not had much business today you may get more than normal." Replied the stall sales man as Kyo nods happily.
"Really oh fantastic! Best news I have heard all day, thanks for the tip sir." Smiled Kyo as the stall keeper returns his smile and takes out a bag, "Here is some extra stuff for being a good costumer." Kyo smiles and humbly accepts the extra bag of fruit and vegetables.
"Thank you sir but you shouldn't of, I must be off now so I will see you later." Kyo hands over the money for the fruit and vegetables and quickly runs around the corner towards the fish stall, as the young man turns the corner and proceeds down the street towards the fish and meat vendor at the corner of the street. "Good evening sir I would some of the salmon please." Smiled Kyo as the fish monger nods and gets it for him from nearby.
"DO you need any beef, pork etc this week?" Asked the vendor as Kyo nods. "Indeed I do sir, you awfully busy looking after two stalls this week." Smiled Kyo as he is given his beef and pork.
"Yeah he wasn't feeling well so I opened up for him this today, the old geezer should be on his feet tomorrow so me covering is a temporary thing." Kyo nods and exchanges a few more words with the stores vendor before paying for his meat and moving on.. Forty five minutes later and bogged down with shopping bags, Kyo shuffles along the streets glancing up at the sky as the sun begins to go down behind a large group of buildings as Kyo hurries along.
"Man what a day and it looks like its going to rain soon." Kyo shakes his head and hurries along as the rain starts. "I guess I jinxed it." Sighed Kyo before running on, turning a left at the end of the street Kyo begins to make his way towards the apartment a short distance away, walking as the rain continues to pour Kyo hurries the best he can his clothing soaked from the rain as the water drips from his shopping bags. As he continues to hurry along five minutes later and he finally arrives home however as he is about to enter the building, he spots someone under the stairwell. Sitting his backs over Kyo lays his eyes on a beautiful woman, though dirty and obviously cold from sitting out here.
"Excuse me miss." Kyo kneels beside her as she looks up at him with a tired and hungry expression, there is a short pause between the two and the woman replies while glancing up at the man with black hair and gentle eyes.
"I am sorry I don't mean to get in your way I'll find somewhere else to keep warm." However as the woman rises to her feet and before Kyo can say anything she collapses. Kyo quick drops his bags and catches the woman as she falls.
"I am sorry about this, I do not want to be a burden. I'll go." The woman tries to move but is too weak.
"No I am not that cold hearted to turn you away when you are like this in this rain it will be the death of you, come in to my place you can get a proper bath a bed for the night and a meal. You seem to really need and it won't bother me, I would feel worse knowing I have it easy while you are out here starving and cold just doesn't feel right with me, everyone should have a place called home that's warm and pleasant." Smiled Kyo as the woman looked up at him with a weary smile.
"I am Peorth what is your name?" She asked weakly as Kyo opened the door and helped her inside and let her sit down in a chair he pulled out from a nearby desk.
"My name is Kyo Mishima." Kyo sets her down in the chair and runs to the bathroom and begins to warm the bath for her, he quickly dashes outside again and grabs the shopping again before closing the door after him. "Now let me go check this bath and get this stuff put away alright. I will also try to get you some clothes to wear while yours dry if that's ok I mean." Blushed Kyo laughing slightly as he sat some clothing down that he grabbed from a pile sitting behind Peorth. She smiles and accepts them readily with a smile.
"Thank you very much Kyo." Replied Peorth she holds onto the t-shirt and jogging bottom Kyo gave her. Peorth watches as he runs into the bathroom and runs his hand through the water, he smiles and waves for her to follow.
"Don't mention it, your bath is ready and while you do that I shall make you a meal while you bathe plus I will put those clothes of yours in the wash." Smiled Kyo as Peorth entered the bathroom as Kyo went to the kitchen and began to prepare a meal for her. Peorth begins to get undressed taking of her dirty and wet coat setting it aside, then her worn sneakers she stretches a bit before unbuttoning her jeans and letting the slide down her legs to the ground. Peorth sets them aside and takes off her dirty and wet t-shirt setting it on the pile with her other dirty clothing, Peorth then takes off her dirty underwear and sits it down. She smiles at the chance to take a bath as goddesses need to bath daily.
"I just can't believe how far I have fallen…" Peorth murmured as the stench of her body now without the cover of the clothes was much stronger to her nose. "So many days without cleansing myself…" Peorth reaches for the sponge and puts soap on it, then she scrubs her body, washing away the accumulated dirt and sweat from her body, watching with disgust as the white bubbles turn dark brown. Peorth rinses herself and washes the sponge before applying more soap and washing herself again and again, until she feels that her body is clean, then she starts by the most troublesome part of her, her hair, she knows that is even filthier than her body was as she wets her hair she hears the door slide open to the changing area which is separate from the bath.
"Sorry Peorth just taking these clothes and washing them for you there is a fresh clean tower here for you beside the clothes you left on the chair." Added Kyo as he closed the door before going back towards the kitchen.
"Thank you!" Replied Peorth with a raised tone in her voice, however Kyo was unable to hear her, Peorth wets her hair thoroughly, before massaging shampoo into her hair shortly before she starts scrubbing her like crazy.
However in the kitchen Kyo is chopping up some of the meat he had gotten earlier Kyo looks at his heated pan, since he left it on the heat since the chopping started it is scorching hot, he throws some oil there followed by minced garlic and ginger, that in the heated oil fry quickly, he adds the meat on the pot and stirs it with a spoon
then he adds the carrots and onions, stirring it even more and adding some soy sauce and salt as the meat and carrots finish cooking he adds the bell peppers and Chinese cabbage, he checks the salt and adds some roasted sesame oil on it before turning off the fire Kyo gets a serving plate and places the steaming mixture on it. "I wonder if the rice is ready…" He mutters looking at the rice cooker just as it beeps to say that the rice is done. "Ah it is ready." Smiled Kyo as he popped the lid as the steam rose out and into the air around him, taking the scooper Kyo scoops up the rice placing it on the plate he had set aside for Peorth saving some of the rice for himself, Kyo smiles as he sets it at the table. "Peorth, your meal is ready!" Smiling brightly Kyo finally gets around to turning on the washing machine for Peorth's clothing before sitting down at the dinner table waiting on Peorth.
"Ok thank you!" Called Peorth from the bathroom as the goddess smiled and thought to herself "That's enough." Peorth raises herself from the tub letting the water run down her skin as she steps out stretching lightly and feeling refreshed, she grabs the fresh towel and begins to dry herself off. Ten minutes later and Peorth emerges from the bath room. Kyo smiles as he waves his hand pointing towards the dinner plate.
"Dig in." Kyo said as Peorth sat down as she begins to eat, a small smile graces her lips as she eats a another bite. "Do you like it?" Asked Kyo as Peorth nods enthusiastically, Kyo chuckles as he gets out of his seat walking towards the kitchen, he opens the fridge door. "What would you like to drink Peorth? We have fruit juice ,milk, water and sodas?" Smiled Kyo as Peorth glanced up to the ceiling thinking she shakes her head and smiles.
"Whatever you are having will do me fine. Though I don't want to impose more than I am already." Replied Peorth as Kyo nodded and grabbed to cola's from the fridge. Kyo returns the wooden table and places both drinks down on the table.
"Don't worry you are not imposing, consider my home as your own alright." Smiled Kyo as he poured his cola into a glass, he reaches over and does the same for Peorth before sitting the cans aside to be put in the trash later.
"I can't do that you have shown me enough kindness already." Replied Peorth not expecting any of these events to happen so she won't impose on Kyo anymore she has done too much of that already as much as Kyo doesn't mind she doesn't want to impose none the less. They go silent for a while they finish their meals there is one thing that bugs Kyo so he decides to ask about it his curiosity getting the better of him.
"Hey Peorth I don't mean to be rude or nosey but may I ask as to why you have been left out in the streets like that and is there anyway I can help?" Kyo looks awkward at asking the question since they have only just met Peorth smiles and ponders for a second thinking about the best way to answer it with out giving her secret away.
"Nothing you can do for me, that you haven't already done." Replied Peorth before adding. "The reason I am in the state I am in is a punishment for losing something very important." Replied Peorth as she glanced at the glass of cola with a small frown on her face. Kyo gives her a sympathetic stare before replying with a firm but loving an gentle tone.
"No one should be cast out into the street like that, over losing an object no matter how important it is, no one should be cast out like that your life is worth more than a simple object." Peorth listened to those words, under normal circumstances she would be in total agreement but she can't tell him what the object really is.
"Thank you for those words it means more to me than you can know, but until I find it I will be stuck like this, so I have to find it." Replies Peorth. Time passes in silence for Kyo as the two then decide to call it a night, Kyo is asleep on the couch and Peorth in his bed. It quickly becomes morning and Kyo is awake staring at the rain which continued through out the night, glancing back at Peorth who is sleeping snugly in his bed with a nice smile on her face.
"Until I find it I'll be stuck like this." Kyo mutters the words again, glancing back at Peorth and the happy expression on her face, the words echo in Kyo's head and for reasons he can not yet explain he doesn't want her to be on her own in the cold and the rain no more searching for this object. "Can't let her go out there in that weather and with winter coming in she would freeze to death." Kyo takes another glance at her before moving into the kitchen to begin preparing of breakfast. "Maybe I should go buy her some winter clothing or something…" Mutters Kyo as he continues preparing the breakfast. "I just don't want her feeling indebted to me for this." Kyo turns around and glances at her sleeping again. "She even curls up into a little ball." Kyo smiles leaning in the door way to the small bed room, glancing around he dashes back into the kitchen again.
"Good morning." Kyo glances behind him as Peorth rubs her eyes, Kyo smiles and gives her a short wave in return. "Good morning. Breakfast will be ready soon and the waters warm enough for you to take a bath so why don't you go take one to waken yourself up." Kyo smiles and Peorth nods in agreement.
"That I would have agree still that's the best nights sleep I have had in a long time. Thank you again for all the kindness you have shown me as, I have been turned away and laughed at some many times before." Added Peorth as she walked towards the bathroom. "I am just glad it was my doorstep you huddled under, us humans are fickle creatures we are like vegetables, some are fresh and good while others are rotten and bad." Kyo laughs slightly and Peorth joins in in the laughter on how he explained the human race.
"At least if anything has come from my ordeal is that I have met a nice man like you." Replied Peorth with a smile Kyo lets out an embarrassed chuckle though Peorth was quite serious. "Just as good hearted as Keiichi is." She thought as Kyo spoke up.
"Well I like to help those in need in anyway I can it is just my way." Peorth places a hand on his shoulder and leaned over and gave him a small kiss on the cheek she can do nothing else right now.
"Thank you I can't stop telling you how indebted I am to you. I'll leave after breakfast however, I don't want to warm out my welcome and you have already done so much." Peorth frowns knowing how bad it is out there, the cold the hateful stares of the people as the watch her struggle to hold on and she doesn't want to burden a young man with it. Kyo gives her a frowning expression and Peorth can tell even without her powers that he doesn't want her to leave. Not while it is easier for to remain where she is
"I don't want you going out therr Peorth in that cold and rain and seeing that look, you are not a burden to me by staying here. It is way too cold for you to stay outside you would die from the cold so, before you truly decide to leave I was wondering do you want to live here with me? It means you have a roof over your head and somewhere you can come back to when you return from searching." Replied Kyo as Peorth stood frozen with surprise and deep down inside more happiness than she wanted to show.
"I…. I don't know what to say, you have done so much I just feel like I need to repay you for this, so I accept your offer but let me pay my way, I'll find a part time job and work and help you with chores around the apartment ok?" Replied Peorth as Kyo nods though it was not necessary he was only doing what his parents had taught him to do for strangers in need.
"I wouldn't make you do any of the house work but if that's what you want then I happily accept." Smiled Kyo as Peorth's own smile got wider. Peorth then turns and walks towards the bath room once more leaving Kyo to go back to the kitchen.
Well that's it for chapter one, hope you guys all come back for the second chapter. Don't worry I know how the story looks but Keiichi and Belldandy will be in future chapters.
