"Belldandy!!! Are you ok?" Youko nervously yelled as she looked down the roof. "Huh? Where'd she go?" she searched the bushes and every possible place that someone can hide to, yet, Belldandy was not there.
"Youko!" Kantarou called. "Are you going to cook food or what? I'm kinda hungry you know. It's almost lunch time!" Youko ran to the kitchen as if she was struck by lightning.
---------
"Haruka! Har-," Just then, she felt something at the nape of her neck ache. Her sweat dropped and she could feel the terrible pain. A wing-shaped seal was burning her neck. Not soon later, she fell down unconscious.
"Thank God you're awake! Let's go home now. They'll be looking for us." Haruka said, still holding his forehead.
"Are you ok?"
"Don't mind me. Let's go."
Haruka took off. There was a moment of serenity as they flew peacefully in the sunny sky. Just then, Belldandy felt the unbearable pain again. Haruka sensed what was going on. He landed on a hill to check on Belldandy.
"Are you alright?" he asked worriedly. If something happens to her, Kantarou would definitely be angry with him.
"No, don't mind me. Let's just go home." She said so as to not make Haruka think about what's happening.
"Look! There's Kantarou-sama!" she said happily. They landed in the garden outside Kantarou's bedroom. Kantarou was there drinking tea, as always. Haruka turned back, spread his wings able to fly.
"Haruka! Just a moment! Where do you think you're going? After what you did to our new housemate?!" Kantarou said with raising blood temperature.
"It's not my fault. If only someone did not fall, I could have not knocked my head and fall asleep!" he said sarcastically.
"What did I just hear?" Belldany answered back upon hearing Haruka's statement.
"You're blaming me? Well I'm sorry mister for my clumsiness. It's not my fault I fell down! Who said I need you to catch me anyway!" Belldandy argued.
"You must be thankful someone helped you out! Or else you could have broken your perfect bones!" Haruka angrily replied without noticing the sudden change in attitude of Belldandy.
"I would rather hurt myself! And by the way, who says I'm perfect? I did not claim myself to be perfect! And one thing more mister, it's your fault anyway we got stuck in that stupid forest!"
"You kept on distracting me!"
"Distracting? That's not a good excuse! Aha! You just can't help staring at me! Admit it!" she said arrogantly.
"Who would want to stare at you that long?" he said as if he wanted to barf.
"Hey! St-" Kantarou interrupted but Belldandy pushed him away.
"Excuse me! For your information, all the boys in this town can't help to look at me a while ago!"
"Come o-" Kantarou interrupted again but Haruka pushed him aside. Now, Kantarou went inside his bedroom. "Just wait you two." he mumbled.
"It's because they got low taste on girls! You belong with them! You'd make a perfect couple, I promise!" he said about to laugh.
"How dare you! Why, did anyone fall in love with—"
"Stop you two! Calm down for just a sec if you please!" Kantarou said through a megaphone. The two stopped immediately. "Thank you!" then he put the megaphone on his pocket and grabbed Belldandy by the hand and Kantarou by his ear.
"Ouch! Stop! It hurts!" the two said in unison.
"Sit down you two!" he commanded as he pushed the two down in the living room.
"Now tell me what you two were arguing about a while ago." Both of them explained each side and no one dared to listen to Kantarou.
"Alright!" he screamed at the top of his lungs. The two stopped instantly.
"Thank you. Now, Belldandy, what exactly happened a while ago. Don't—"
"No fair! How come she gets to explain first!" Haruka complained.
"Ladies first!" Kantarou yelled at the tengu angrily, making Haruka shake. Belldandy smirked at him making him hate her.
"I was climbing the ladder when suddenly, Haruka pushed the end of it that made me fall. Maybe, he was trying to impress me that's why he did that kind of thing." she said pouting like a lost dog looking for a home.
"Liar!" Haruka immediately exclaimed.
"Would you please wait for your turn tengu!" Kantarou said even losing more patience.
"He took me in the forest and tried to scare me so that I would embrace him like a fearful cat. Maybe he wants to show me his braveness. But it turned out like he wanted more!" Belldandy continued.
Haruka was really angry this time. He was about to react when Kantarou hit his face with the megaphone he was holding. Haruka fell unconscious but stood up immediately upon hearing Belldandy talk again.
"After that, a bear appeared in front of us. He showed off and then he lifted me up and flew home. But I was sure he was planning on something. That's my side and I promise you it's true." She said with a persuasive tone. Kantarou was almost convinced by her statement.
"It's your turn now, Haruka." Kantarou called.
"I tell you, that girl is lying! She fell down because of her clumsiness and not because of me! And I rescued her because she might get hurt. We were directed to the forest because of the gust of air that blew us to the direction of the trees. And there were no bears in that forest! It's impossible! After she woke up, we went directly home! She's such a liar! End of my statement!"
"See how bad he is Kantarou-sama! Calling me a liar like I don't have dignity!" Belldandy pouted. Then she smirked at Haruka.
"There, there now. Haruka! Don't you have respect for women! You're not eating lunch today!" Kantarou said without even examining the case.
"Whaaaaatt??? You're in favor of her? I can't believe it! You forgot about me!" he said trying to convince Kantarou to favor his side.
"I won't believe your dramas tengu! Don't try to do that as an excuse next time ok? It doesn't fit your personality! I'm hungry! Come on Belldandy! let's have some savory lunch. I bet Youko cooked something special."
Belldandy looked at him again and smiled a fake one. She waved at him sarcastically and went to the kitchen to eat.
After eating, Kantarou climbed up the roof.
"Just as I thought! Here! Have some lunch. I know you're hungry." he said while handing Haruka his favorite cup.
"You didn't really believe in her, did you?" Haruka asked.
"Of course not! From the moment you two got home, I noticed something was wrong with her."
"Really? Then what was the problem with her?"
"Actually, you two got problems." Kantarou said as he stuck a piece of paper on Haruka's forehead. Then, a blue smoke was released from his body.
"What happened?" he asked.
"You two were possessed by a youkai who is fond of quarreling. This youkai splits into two and possesses two people at once. After about minutes, they start to have an effect and make the two possessed fight with each other."
"So that's why she was acting weird." he said surprised. Kantarou laughed.
"You mean the two of you acting weird."
--------
"Are you prepared my brother?"
"As always Megumi. I'm ready to do anything just to find her."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm hungry for power. Let's start it now!"
End of Chapter 2.
