Chapter 1:
Disclaimer: I do not own Tactics or Oh! My Goddess
A/N: well.. here goes nothing…
"Kantarou!!!" Youko called.
"I'm still sleepy!" Kantarou lazily answered.
"Kantarou!!".
"Shut up if you please! I still have the hangover last night!".
"Get up!!!! You have a client. You wouldn't want to snob her. She looks like she got the money we might need." Youko playfully whispered in her master's ears. By those tricking words, he came to his senses and woke up immediately.
He hurriedly wore his hakama and gi. He wondered how much that client would pay him while he made his way to the living room. He keeps on thinking what to buy with such. Would it be sashimi? Sushi? Steak? A fan? A new hakama? Or a nice tatami mat for my room?
He stopped thinking when he finally saw a gorgeous goddess- like lady bestow upon him. She had sky blue eyes which well-complemented with her dark brown hair. Her skin was almost as white as snow and it glowed with the dark blue kimono she wore. She was a simple beautiful lady and it is not questionable why all the men outside are peeking through the windows of Ichinomiya's house. "You're very lucky with that girl Kantarou!" one shouted from the window near the front door.
"Please give her as my wife! Besides you have Youko!" the other said. He froze and couldn't say a word. It's as if he was presented a grand prize at a lottery. He heard what the other guys said. He was drastically mad at them. He went near the window and threatened, "How about you keep your mouth shut before I offer you to my youkai friend!" his eyes were filled with anger that made the men tremble. "You not running away yet?" Youko angrily said while she was sharpening her big knife with her teeth. The frightened chickens ran for their lives before they get chopped into youkai food.
"Scaredy cats!" she quietly whispered to herself as she walked back to her work.
After all the interruptions, the lady decided to introduce herself. The way she talked was ultimately graceful and unbelievably womanly. Her gestures, her smiles and her voice. All of her.
"Good morning. I am Belldandy. I came here to ask some questions…" she humbly said, then, she bowed close to Kantarou's feet. "Please let me be your apprentice in ethnology. I really like to know more about youkais. I beg you please…" she stopped when she felt someone lift her up.
"You don't need to bow like that. For a beautiful lady like you, it is not good to be doing such nonsense. Please sit down. It's rude if a man lets a lady act like that."
The lady was much delighted of the thoughtfulness the man showed her.
"What were you asking me again?" Kantarou asked as he sat down in front of her.
She bowed her head and said, "I was asking you, no, begging you, to take me as your apprentice in ethnology." Now, she raised her head slightly.
"You know, Mr. Ichinomiya, I've been a fan of your articles ever since I read them. I have been interested in youkais since I was a child. I desperately want to know more about them and I am more desperate to see one." She bowed slowly this time.
"Please let me stay with you. I can help in household chores or better yet, I'll be your slave. Just let me be your apprentice.", she begged. Kantarou smiled slightly. The moment the lady looked at him, he smiled happily.
"I thought I was the last living man to be interested that much with youkais... Of course! I'd accept you as my apprentice! I promise you I'll teach you everything I know!" he said heartily.
Belldandy couldn't help her emotions. She broke down instantly.
"Oh thank you! I promise I will not be hard headed Master!", she said. Master? I never thought she'd call me like that! "Well then! Let's first settle where you will be staying… Youko!" he called.
"Yes!" the obeying youkai said to his master as she walked her way to the living room.
"Accompany her to your room. You will be roommates from now on." Kantarou commanded to her.
"Seriously! She's going to stay with me? Yehey!!" her heart leapt with joy. She held both Belldandy's hands and danced happily. Belldandy giggled as she watched the happy reactions of her new friend.
"Come! Let's go! I'll tour you around the house." She dragged the new housemate first to their room then to every single part of the house.
When they were in the garden, Belldandy noticed something was moving on the roof.
"What's that?" she asked. "Oh! I almost forgot! Follow me!" Youko happily said. She placed a ladder to the edge of the roof and she pushed it to check if it is safe to climb on.
"Follow me!" she repeated. Belldandy curiously looked at her but she went after anyway.
What could possibly be up there? While she was climbing to the top, she heard Youko call someone.
"Hey Haruka! I'd like you to meet someone so get up! Hurry!" he obeyed but he still didn't speak. He was too busy staring at the clear blue sky. While she was about to reach the top, Belldandy lost her balance. She screamed and she waited for her back to touch the ground. But then, she felt as if she had wings. She really felt that she flew but she doesn't want to open her eyes. She was too scared to do that.
"You can open your eyes now. Don't be afraid. I got you." She was mystified of the warrior- like voice that she heard. She slightly opened her orbs and saw a black-winged man holding her tightly. She stared at the man's deep blue green eyes. She examined his face and felt that moment as if she has been lifted by an angel. Those eyes looked at hers going down to her rosy lips. He was perfectly struck by those perfect lips of hers.
Then. "Look out!" Belldandy yelled. They were heading for the trees and there is no way they can get those out of the direction. Haruka clasped her in his enormous arms so that she won't be hurt. He thought they were safe until he felt a hard knock on his head.
"Haruka! Haruka! Wake up! I don't even know this place!" Belldandy worriedly said.
