Naru didn't run for very long. The time she spent earlier running to the Hinata and then up and down the steps combined with the rapid switching of emotional states finally took their toll on her. Luckily for her, she had ran into a park in her aimless run. She sat on a nearby park bench and began to cry.
"Why don't they remember me? (sob) Why do they think I don't live there?(sob) What did I do to deserve this?" Was all Naru got out before she broke down completely in tears.
-oOoOoOo-
Naru didn't hear her come near. Nor did Naru hear her words. All Naru knew was the person in front of her was someone she could trust and confide in, just from the tone of her voice. Naru quickly hugged her to seek comfort, cried some more, and passed out.
-oOoOoOo-
Just a few moments earlier...
A tanned woman with white hair was walking along with another woman, who had light brown hair, near a park. Both had blue markings on their faces.
"I don't see why we have to come all the way out here to find some inn, Belldandy. Just let me take Skuld, Banpei, and Sigel out for a few hours! You and Keiichi can have the time of your lives back at the temple!" The tanned woman said. 'And that will be a guarantee if I can dose the both of you with a certain potion to insure SOMETHING will happen. Enough holding hands already!'
"Urd, You know as well as I do, relationships take time. Besides, I want to see the inn. I wonder how good the hot springs are there." Belldandy said. Before she said anything else, A woman with a hair antenna ran by them.
"I'm going to see if she's alright, she gave off the feeling that she was going to cry." Belldandy stated to Urd.
"Why is it that no matter where we go, something happens? Why can we ever have a day where we can say, 'nothing happened.' and mean it?" Urd sighed.
"Because if nothing happened, you or Skuld would get bored and make something happen." Belldandy said, before walking after the woman with a hair antenna.
Urd merely waved off the comment. "I'll wait here. You handle weepy people better than I can."
Belldandy nodded. "If I need help-"
"Just call and I'll come running." Urd said with a smile.
-oOoOoOo-
As Belldandy walked towards Naru, Belldandy decided to use a quick health scan spell. All the spell did was let her know if Naru was physically hurt or not. After finding out that Naru wasn't hurt, Belldandy let out a small breath.
"Are you alright, miss? Is there anything I might help you with?" was all Belldandy got out before Naru latched on to her with a hug. Belldandy was surprised by this, but hugged Naru back to try to comfort her.
"You'll be alright, just let it all out." Belldandy said, then Naru cried some more.
It was a few seconds later that Naru fell asleep.
-oOoOoOo-
Urd had began to walk towards to try to pry them apart when she saw Naru grabbing Belldandy. As Urd drew near, She noticed that Naru really was crying.
"So Bell, did you find out weepy's name?" Urd asked.
"Onee-san!"
"Fine, fine. I'll find out." Urd said.
Urd put one hand near Naru's head and the Urd's hand briefly glowed blue for a second. "Her name is Naru Narusegawa. There's a cheap inn nearby with a gothic-looking manager. I've been there a few times to sleep off a hangover, she'll let us in."
"What else did you find out?" Belldandy asked, while Urd helped her shift Naru onto Urd's back to be carried.
"Not much and what I did find wasn't good. She needs better control over her emotions and that might very well be the good news." Urd answered.
"Why?"
"In her recent memories, I saw Mara." Urd stated a bit grimly.
Belldandy gasped a little. "What did Mara do to upset her?"
"Don't really know. The emotion problems got in the way. We just have to wait for sleeping beauty to wake up." Urd replied.
"Where was Mara?" Belldandy asked.
Urd let out a sigh.
"You're not going to like the answer, Bell." Urd said.
"I can handle it, Onee-san." Belldandy stated, with a slight tone of anger in her voice.
"You know that inn you wanted to go to? Yeah, she was there." Urd replied in a snarky tone.
"Any ideas why she was there?" Belldandy asked.
"Which one? Mara or Naru?"
Belldandy thought for a second.
"Naru."
"Naru lives there. But some recent memories seem to suggest now she doesn't. Has the Hinata ever been a girl's dorm?" Urd asked.
Belldandy thought for a minute and then answered with, "No, the two brochures said it always was an inn and one was over a year ago. The recent one is only a month old."
"I bet Mara is probably tormenting the poor girl. Dunno why." Urd muttered.
"And what about Mara?"
"Don't know why she was there. Mara didn't seem to be attacking anyone. Maybe Kanako will give a few answers."
"Who's Kanako?" Belldandy asked with a bit of curiosity in her voice.
"She's the manager of the inn where going to. She's also the sister of the Hinata's owner. If anyone can help get info for us on why Mara's in the Hinata, she can." Urd said, with a growing smile on her face.

Author's note:
A shout out to Existential Insanity for helping on what to do with Kanako. Thank you!
As for why Naru fell asleep, She's been running around a lot early in the morning , went through emotional extremes in a rapid fashion, and forgot to eat breakfast. Also, it helped with the plot.
