"So Keiichi, what is your request?" Peorth asked with a smile. 'But if so… Then I can use it!'

Keiichi opened his mouth to speak, 'I want you to satisy my heart's desire when a thought struck him.

'Wait…. How can I be sure that wishing for that would be good? What if she decides to pick and choose what desire might be in my heart at that time?' Keiichi thought. He looked down, crossed his arms, and thought, 'I'm better off choosing a wish that'll help us in the future... wishing to use magic is kinda pointless… What about-'

"Keiichi, it's impolite to keep a lady waiting!" Peorth said, stilling smiling. 'All that bravo and he still waffles! Why was he given one wish, much less two!'

'I got it!' Keiichi thought, just as he pounded one hand into the other. "Alright, I wish I could use Ki, like how it's used in a few manga and Video games!"

"Keiichi Morisato, your wish is-" Peorth uttered before pausing. She then looked at Keiichi with a confused expression and asked, "What? Why such a…useless wish?"

"Mara's still out there. She might come up with a scheme where only her magic can be used. me having Ki abilities allows me to actually do something, other than be a cheerleader or something."

Peorth rubbed the back of her head as she said, " I understand your worry, but wouldn't you want a different wish?"

"I'd like this wish, if you're able to grant it," Keiichi said. He tilted his head a little as he asked, "Are you?"

"Oh, I am able to grant it!" Peorth answered as she made some placating gestures, "It's just… Are you sure you don't want another wish?"

Annoyance was now clearly showing on Keiichi's face. "Yes, I'm sure."

Peorth sighed. After looking up to send a beam of light into the sky, she looked Keiichi in the eyes and said, "Very well. I'll just need to place my hand on your head and give you the ability."

Keiichi nodded and Peoth then placed her hand on his head. In mere moments, Keiichi felt a well of power sudden appear within him, flowing throughout every vein, every cell of his body! He would have stepped backwards, but Peorth gripped his head.

"Don't move, Keiichi. I will not leave a job half-done," Peorth said, sounding serious. Then pain began to course through Keiichi's body. When it was starting to get to the point where he would scream, Peorth let go of Keiichi, letting him fall on his behind. After magically producing a small book, She handed it to Keiichi and said, "Here you go. An instruction book for what training you can do and what abilities to aim for. You'll have to ask Belldandy or the other goddesses to get more books in the future, though."

"Was… Was,,, Was it… supposed to hurt?" Keiichi asked as he slowly accepted the book from Peorth.

"I'm afraid so. Humans in this world aren't really meant for this kind of Ki abilities, so I had to rewrite a good amount of your genes. If it helps any, you held out better than I thought," Peorth said with a smile.

"Coulda… Warned me…." Keiichi muttered as he slowly stood up.

"I honestly forgot. It's been so long since I've granted that kind of wish," Peorth answered. "I'd offer to use magic to heal you, but it'll interfere with your growth at the moment."

"Right," Keiichi muttered.

Peorth then bowed, as she said, "Well, Morisato, I have to go call and let my bosses know that I will be returning."

Peorth then sashayed away from Keiichi in a slightly flirty manner. As Keiichi slowly walked towards the temple, Belldandy appeared.

"Keiichi, Peorth told me she granted - Oh my! Are you alright?" Belldandy said before she rushed over. "Did Peorth hurt you?!"

"I wished to be able to use Ki stuff, like in video games and Manga. Learned I couldn't until Peorth made a few changes… Coulda liked a warning that'd it hurt," Keiichi answered.

"Oh… Why?" Belldandy asked as she helped Keiichi to the steps of the temple and then helped him sit down.

"So I'd be able to do something if need be," Keiichi answered.

"You didn't have to. Your courage is enough," Belldandy replied.

"Bell, I'd rather have abilities I'll never use than be stuck on the sidelines when Mara makes her next attack," Keiichi said.

Notes from HotelKats : And this is kombatant88's 'what if keiichi learned how to use ki?'

I apologize for this being a bit late. Christmas gave me a new game to play. Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark. Playing as a combiner and a robot T-Rex was just too great a call. Yes, I've played the War and Fall of Cybertron. I will admit, I don't care much for the random box of Dark Spark. I'd rather grind for Money than boxes.

I hope your Christmas was as fun as mine.

As for Keiichi's wish, I doubt it would have any major changes. Then again, it might, depending on what Ki abilities he gains. It all depends on the writer's choices. I'd pick the Monk class from Final Fantasy Tactics, A good amount of stuff from Street Fighter, and probably the first one that comes to mind when one thinks of Ki, Dragon Ball Z.
