Last time on No One Would Dare...
"Hmm... I see why Belldandy loves you so much. You are pure of heart. You know what Kei-boy? Your wish will come true. You will have Belldandy 'forever'.
"How is that possible sir? I'm just human." Keiichi said.
"All will be revealed in time kei-boy. But for the meantime, I have something to ask you." And with that, Kami-sama motioned for his room.
As they entered Kami-sama's room, Keiichi was shocked at what he saw...
"Now kei-boy, this is what I want you to do..." Kami-sama said, as he closed the door...
"No One Would Dare"
Chapter 3
"Music In the Key of G"
Keiichi was shocked at what Kami-sama did to his old room. There was now a sign "Kami-Sama's Office extension" at the front of the door. Then he saw it. It was like an extension of heaven.
"This must be Belldandy's doing, as I assigned her to fix my room. The dimensional patterns are almost flawless." Kami-sama said.
"You know Kei-boy, even if it means I am on vacation, doesn't mean I have to be away from the office. After all, I look after all of you. That's why your old room looks like my office up in heaven."
"Sir, can I ask you a question?" Keiichi said to Kami-sama.
"Hmm... Sure, You are my future-son-in-law right?" Kami-sama said.
Keiichi shuddered at the thought that his father-in-law would be the creator of the universe, but quickly dismissed the thought when he noticed that Kami-sama was waiting.
"Sir, What is that room in the back? After all, I never recalled my room being this big." Keiichi asked. Pointing at the room at the back of the office."
"Oh, that... Hmm... Well I guess I should tell you. This dimension is what I wanted. I instructed Maya, my secretary to put this when I arrive and pick the room. That is my studio." Kami-sama said.
"Studio? Like for creating stuff?" Keiichi asked.
"No. I do that by pure will. That is a music studio Kei-Boy. It has everything! A complete Drum-set, when I say complete, I mean complete. 26 cymbals, 2 chimes, two bass drums, 6 tom-toms, 2 snares. A 6 string bass guitar and mind you, the bass guitar is beautiful. It wouldn't be invented after a few thousand millennia or so. An electric guitar, and also, this is the same. This is my favorite. An acoustic guitar that was made at the time of Beethoven. I the wood is exquisite. A mixer, of course, a 100 channel mixer and 25 speakers." Kami-sama said, being excited at the thought of describing his musical studio. "Would you like to see it?"
"Sorry sir. But I don't know how to play any instrument." Keiichi said bluntly.
"That is why I am HERE! The way to a goddess heart is through music! That is how I got... Hmmm... Nevermind... That is my assignment to you. Prove to me that you are worthy of Belldandy by singing to her. You can choose any song that was created here on earth. And you may pick the instrument of your choice." Kami-sama said.
"Sir, I really don't know how to play anything really." Keiichi said.
"Then you must learn! I give you one earth month. If you don't accomplish this, I will not give you my blessing." Kami-sama said.
"A month? Sir, It takes years to learn an instrument!" Keiichi said.
"Then you'd better start now!" Kami-sama said, pointing to the room.
"Oh boy..." Keiichi said as he and Kami-sama walked to the room.
Belldandy was quite worried. Keiichi and Kami-sama hadn't exited his room since breakfast. It was now night and she wanted to enter the room but doubting that she wouldn't get an entry.
"I have to try." Belldandy said, walking towards Kami-sama's room.
"Father, may I enter?" Belldandy said outside the room.
As if the door was automatic, the door slided. revealing a pathway. Then a voice suddenly spoke. You may enter Belldandy.
Belldandy walked the enormous pathway that seemed forever. She finally reached another door. She opened it and there was an office.
"Belldandy." Kami-sama said.
"Father, Dinners ready. If you would like to join us please do so. By the way, Where is my Keiichi?" Belldandy said.
"He is currently on an assignment that I gave him. I will tell him that you told us that dinner is ready." Kami-sama said, still sitting at his chair.
"Father, please don't be harsh on him, I don't want to lose him because my father shooed him away." Belldandy said.
"Fear not Belldandy. I just want to see his dedication and devotion to you. I want the best for my daughters. It's not that hard of an assignment, I am certain that he could do it in no time." Kami-sama said. "By the way, It is also a test if he truly loves you and if he deserves my gift."
"Father, I trust you completely. But allow me this one little mistake. By any chance, can I know what gift would you give Keiichi?" Belldandy asked.
"Belldandy, you know the wish that he made? I haven't granted it completely you see. Part of it is what I granted, and the other part would be granted if the love between you two are true as well as pure. My child, analyze the wish. You are a Goddess. You should know the meaning of his wish."
And with that, Keiichi's wish suddenly could be heard.
"I want a goddess like you to stay by my side forever."
"Oh my! I didn't know! Father, do what you must with my Keiichi. But I am sure that he loves me more than anything in this entire world. I trust him, and he would pass this exam that you bestowed upon him." Belldandy said.
"I see... you have put your faith on him. Well then, We will be at the dining room at exactly 5 earth minutes. So go, Belldandy. And, I am happy for you." Kami-sama said.
"Thank you Father." And with that, Belldandy exited the room.
Kami-sama then entered the studio seeing that Keiichi is now learning different songs by using chords that He taught him.
"That's very good Kei-boy, you are a fast learner! I like that. In no time you can play this song to Belldandy." Kami-sama said, holding a piece of paper in His hand, showing it to Keiichi.
"But this is already advanced plucking sir! and It even has a guitar solo! I really can't do this in a month!" Keiichi exclaimed obviously begging for an extension.
"Kei-Boy, I believe you can. By the way, we have to go to the dining room, so you could take a little break from your practice." Kami-sama said, motioning for the door.
"Bell, that was so delicious!" Keiichi said, complementing Belldandy's cooking.
"Did you like it Kei? I'm glad." Belldandy said.
"Yes Belldandy, you always cook the most exquisite cooking." Kami-sama said, giving a smile to her daughter.
"Thank you father." Belldandy said.
"Well Kei-Boy, off we go. Shall we?" Kami-sama said.
"Yes sir." Keiichi said.
"Where are you going you two? Father, can you give Kei an earth night? Can you give him a little break on his assignment? He really needs sleep." Belldandy said, looking at Keiichi with a worried look.
"Don't worry Belldandy; I will give him all the rest he needs." Kami-sama said, also looking at Keiichi.
And with that, Kami-sama and Keiichi went out of the room.
"Skuld, can you help we wash the dishes?" Belldandy said to Skuld.
"Yes Big Sis! Urd, help Big Sis do the dishes too." Skuld said.
"Hey brat! I have to watch Winter Storm reruns. Why don't you do it?" Urd said.
"You always watch TV! I won't let you!" Skuld said, already carrying a Skuld-Bomb at her hand.
"You want to fight?" Urd said, summoning an Urd-Bolt.
"Ne-san! Skuld! Stop it this instant! If Father finds out that you two are fighting again, and most of all, that you are fighting in his presence, you will get the PUNISHMENT that father always does." Belldandy said, looking at her sisters.
Urd let go of the lightning, and Skuld hid the Skuld Bomb, and proceeded with their activities, very silently, leaving Belldandy all alone.
"Oh well, I should have known that they didn't want to help." Belldandy murmured to herself as she took the dishes to the kitchen.
Keiichi was now practicing the piece that Kami-sama gave him. Little by little he got the intro, but he was having a hard time practicing the stanza and the chorus. Kami-sama was quite shocked that Keiichi was able to learn such difficult notes in just a few earth hours.
"I'm very proud of you Kei-boy!" Kami-sama said. "You got the one fourth of the song easily! You must be musically inclined."
"No sir, I am not musically inclined. If this would please Bell, then I would work hard for it. After all the things that she had done for me, I don't know how to repay her anymore. Her undying kindness, her eternal beauty, makes her worthy of being a goddess. And I hope that this song would please her just a little bit." Keiichi said, still playing the chorus of the song.
Kami-sama saw what he needs to see in Keiichi. A true and pure love for her daughter. Kami-sama smiled at the thought that There are still mortals that exist in the mortal plane.
"Kei-Boy, I like you. Continue with your work." Kami-sama said. But in the back of his mind he had decided that Keiichi is worthy of such a gift. A gift from Him.
After a month, Keiichi got the whole song and polished it many times. He got the guitar solo perfectly and flawlessly. The only problem is how to sing it in front of Belldandy.
"Sir, may I come in?" Keiichi said outside of Kami-sama's room.
"You may enter." A voice said. And with that, the doors opened.
After a 5 minute walk inside the hallway that was made by Kami-sama, He entered the office.
"Kei-boy, What is it?" Kami-sama said, holding his acoustic guitar playing a rock song with ease.
"Sir, Could you help me?" Keiichi said.
"Hmm... let me guess... You want Me to help you sing the song? or you want me to help you to get my daughter so she could hear the song." Kami-sama asked.
Not surprised at what Kami-sama said, Keiichi replied. "What you said sir, those two. Could you help me sir? Please..." Keiichi was now kneeling in front of Kami-sama at his office.
"Rise Kei-Boy. I will help you. Now go, you will sing the song tonight. After dinner." Kami-sama said.
"Thank you Sir." Keiichi said getting up and about to leave when Kami-sama said;
"You are the one I should thank Kei-boy. Belldandy is lucky to have you, than vice versa. You have showed me courage and patience and whatever that the deities lack." There was a slight pause and said, "you may now go."
"Thank you sir, I don't know what to say." Keiichi said.
"Just love my daughter with all your heart and that is enough for me." Kami-sama said.
And with that, Keiichi left the room.
"Another delicious dinner Belldandy, I really don't know what to say." Kami-sama said. "Belldandy, Keiichi has something to ask you. Kei-Boy?"
"Yes. Belldandy, this past month, Kami-sama taught me to play a little guitar." Keiichi said.
"That's nice Kei. I'm glad for you. Can you show me what you have learned?" Belldandy said.
"Sir, can I borrow your guitar?" Keiichi said.
"Here." Kami-sama said, summoning his acoustic guitar on the ground.
"Here goes nothing... Hope you like it Bell." With that being said, Keiichi began to play.
Whenever I'm weary
From the battles that rage in my head
You make sense of madness
When my sanity hangs by a thread
I lose my way but still you seem to understand
Now and forever I will be your man
Sometimes I just hold you
Too caught up in me to see
I'm holding a fortune
That heaven has given to me I'll try to show you each and every way I can
Now and forever I will be your man
Now I can rest my worries and always be sure
That I won't be alone anymore
And if I'd only known you were there all the time
All this time
Until the day the ocean doesn't touch the sand
Now and forever I will be your man
Now and forever I will be your man
With the song finished, Belldandy started to cry. She hugged Keiichi and said,
"I love you Keiichi Morisato! I love you!"
Keiichi put down the guitar and hugged Belldandy back and also said,
"I love you too Bell."
"Well that is a sight for sore eyes." Kami-sama said. "Keiichi, Belldandy, If you don't mind, I would like to say a few words."
Keiichi and the teary-eyed Belldandy sat down and listened to Kami-sama.
"Keiichi, You have showed me what I wanted to expect from you. You have showed me the love that is pure, honest and true. Therefore, you deserve a reward. A reward from me. I will give you the gift that any mortal only dreamed about."
And with that, Kami-sama stood up and chanted a spell.
