"So… Urd's angel is named World of Elegance, Skuld's is named Noble Scarlet, Peorth's is named Gorgeous Rose, and Lind's are Cool Mint and Spear Mint," Keiichi muttered. He looked towards Belldandy and asked, "Since every goddess has an Angel, what is yours?"
Belldandy blushed out of embarrassment and said, "That's not important for now."
"But I'd like to meet her. After all, you said that Angels are a reflection of their hosts and I bet she's as nice as you," Keiichi said.
Urd put an arm around Keiichi's shoulders. "Not every reflection is a good one. I spent years avoiding World of Elegance because of her looks. Bell spent just as long avoiding…"
Urd shook her head. "No. Won't say her name. That gets her to pop out."
Urd let go of Keiichi's shoulders and rubbed the back of her head "Just stop it. Bell's angel is… well… Bell's more of the nice girl next door that you tell mom and dad about…"
"And I'm the naughty girl you don't tell them about!" A voice cooed as something popped out of Belldandy's back.
They were a woman in a red dress with long wild blonde hair and angel wings on her back. Where Belldandy seemed like purity incarnate, her angel seemed like she was lust incarnate.
Belldandy looked back in shock, saying, "Holy Bell! Get back in there!"
Her angel glared at her for a moment before saying, "I keep telling you that my name is Panty!"
She then smiled towards Keiichi and said, "But you? You can call me anything as long as you fill me with something hard and long."
Belldandy grimaced before she threw herself on her back to force Panty back in her soul. Panty stopped it by folding her wings back and using her arms to push against the ground.
"Not! Gonna! Work!" Panty growled with each push.
"What's going on?" Keiichi muttered.
"The problem with my angel is over looks. The problem with Bell's angel is because of a bad angel egg that was going to be disposed of, but she took pity on it," Urd explained. Panty managed to use a propulsion spell that sent Belldandy crashing forwards on her face. Urd and Keiichi rushed over, crying out, "Bell!"
When Urd and Keiichi helped Belldandy stand up, Panty quickly put her hand in Keiichi's pants, going, "Oooh! Mama Likes! Mama likes it a lot!"
Urd punched Panty in the back, sending her back in Belldandy's soul. After a few moments, Urd said, "Looks like we might need to find a stronger seal."
Belldandy nodded.

Author's Note: BladeKnightmareasked for a Hild/Keiichi pairing, so here is one.
Hild stood in front of her new recruits, hired from another version of Hell. They were female demons with red skin, long hair, and tan business outfits. They had very strong interests in rules, regulations, and conformity, to the point of obsession.
One had loose green spiky hair, two horns at the side of her head, fangs sticking out of her lower jaw. Her name was Scanty.
The other had her blue hair tied in a ponytail, a single horn above her forehead, fangs sticking out of her upper jaw, and wore glasses. Her name was Kneesocks.
"Well, We're going to go observe a human, but not just any human. One that wished for a goddess to be by his side," Hild explained to the two demons standing like soldiers ready for orders.
"Are we going to seduce him away from her?" Scanty asked.
"Perhaps, but it'll be just an observation for now. I'm debating about sending Mara, as she's requesting to take the mission to separate them and prevent Heaven from gaining more shares," Hild explained. "That and she was friends with Urd-chan, my daughter, who is currently a goddess. She's also the sister to the wishgranting goddess."
"Oh, so a secondary objective of turning her to our side?" Kneesocks asked.
"Yup!" Hild cheerfully said as she gave a thumbs-up.
Scanty looked at Kneesocks and said, "It seems that we really are fated to fight the divine, Miss Kneesocks."
"Indeed, dear sister," Kneesocks replied.
-o-
The trio were idly driving around in a common-looking car. A 20-something-in-appearance Hild was driving as she spoke, "They live in a temple that the locals call Temple Tarikihongan. It was kept up by a local monk who left in care of Keiichi Morisato and Belldandy. From what I gather, no one ever goes there for religious rites or offerings."
"That is a good question. Perhaps the locals are atheists?" Scanty asked.
"Or this Belldandy drives away people to protect her time with Morisato?" Kneesocks asked.
"Who knows? But if we ask nicely, Belldandy will invite us in for lunch. She is that nice," Hild answered as she turned a corner. Her eyes widened as she uttered, "Well, that looks interesting!"
"What does?" Scanty asked.
"Is that… Morisato?" Kneesocks asked.
At the other end of the street was a depressed Keiichi. He was slowly riding his Beemer, the sidecar was loaded with his stuff.
"Yup," Hild popped as she began to slow down.
"But won't he get hostile at us because we're demons?" Kneesocks asked.
"I doubt the goddesses ever told him about us, thus we can influence him any way we want," Hild cooed. "But first, information gathering!"
She stopped near Keiichi and called out, "Hey there! I'm Hild! Urd's mommy! Do you know where she is?"
Keiichi looked at her. After he noted the facial markings, he asked, "Oh? I'm Keiichi Morisato and you're late. She kinda… left with Belldandy back to Heaven. Why are your marks red… and why are they all red?"
"Oh, that. Well, we'll tell you about that if you tell us what happened to Urd and Belldandy!" Hild said before blowing a kiss.
Keiichi looked around for a few moments before saying, "It's a long story. We might need to find a spot to talk, though."
"Let's go to my current residence," Hild answered. "Follow us!"
Keiichi nodded.
-o-
THe home was a rather nice one in a place near the college.
Scanty and Kneesocks sat besides Keiichi at the table in the dining room. Hild sat on the other side.
"So let me get this straight. Belldandy received a call. She then told you that Yggdrasil's wish systems were updated in a way that your wish was immediately canceled and removed. Not only that, but a limit was placed, so that any of the divine can only spend a few months with a mortal at most. And after Belldandy and Urd left, the monk who left you and Belldandy in charge of the temple returned and threw you out. Am I correct?" Hild asked.
"Y…. Yes. I don't get it. Urd was pissed and yelled over the phone at her dad, but he said it was out of his hands," Keiichi muttered, looking a little upset.
"Well, Keiichi. You know how if businesses get big enough, they have a board of directors and a CEO?" Hild asked.
Keiichi nodded, though looked a little confused.
"The CEO is in charge of developing and executing strategies," Scanty began. Kneesocks finished with, "While the board is responsible for approving and advising them on it."
"It's a simplified version of the relationship, but it means they do work together. I'm guessing the board pushed forward an update with a poison pill amendment addition. Normally, the poison pill amendment gets killed, but perhaps the update was so needed, that your relationship with Belldandy was considered acceptable collateral," Hild commented. "Both Heaven and Hell use the Board to prevent the leaders from going too far."
"Huh. Well…" Keiichi began before his eyes widened. "Wait. Are…. Are you demons?"
"Yes," Hild, Scanty, and Kneesocks all said, like they were asked if they were going to wear a hat in the rain.
Keiichi tried to stand up, but was held down by the sisters.
"We're not here to fight you, Keiichi Morisato. We're here to see if we can make a deal with you," Hild explained with a placid expression.
"Why? You're a demon and Urd-" Keiichi began before Scanty covered his mouth.
"-Is my daughter. Tyr is her father and the Daitenkaicho. I am Urd's mother and the Daimakaichō. Shortly after Urd was born, I left her with Tyr because it was safer for her. While I do want her to be by my side, I will respect her wishes to be a goddess and treat her as I would any other goddess that is as powerful as her," Hild said with a glare. There was a tone in her voice that let Keiichi know that he had been one step away from incurring the wrath of someone who could destroy him with a mere whim.
Scanty uncovered Keiichi's mouth. He asked, "How powerful are we talking about?"
"If she had a first class license, she'd be to other goddesses as those goddesses are to mortals like you," Hild explained. "But she chooses to remain at a second class license for reasons that are hers and hers alone to share."
Hild then smiled and clapped her hands. "Now then. Let's get to discussing our deal. Keep one thing in mind. A wish with the gods is free, but are only given to those either considered worthy of a wish or those who had a really bad hand in life and won't abuse a wish/waste it."
"And you're probably in the latter half," Kneesocks commented.
"And going by what I hear, Belldandy has been spying on you for years!" Scanty cooed, poking Keiichi in the cheek.
"Hush, Scanty," Hild said. With a shrug, she explained, "We have no proof, save for rumors. Given that Goddesses that work at The Goddess Relief Office and the Earth Help Center have to research potential clients for years, it isn't out of the question for a goddess to become focused on a person for various reasons. Given what I know of Belldandy, she probably turned to you for years whenever she needed a bit of support to get through her day."
"So what's different about your kind of wishes?" Keiichi asked.
Hild put her hands on one of her knees and leaned back, making her bosom look bigger. "Simple. We ask for something of equal value be given in compensation for our services. After all, someone like you often wants to pay back any favor you've received."
"There's a difference. I'm paying back a favor. You're demanding payment for your services," Keiichi interjected.
"In both cases, it's a matter of recompensation," Scanty replied.
Keiichi looked around, possibly for an answer. Eventually, he said, "What wish would get me back with Belldandy?"
The demons stared at Keiichi. Hild rubbed her chin in thought as she looked at the ground. Eventually, she looked back at Keiichi and said, "Living long enough would allow Belldandy to overturn the decision that separated you and her, but the problem is Time Dilation. Heaven's own time can be sped up enough that moments spent there are centuries on Earth."
Keiichi's shoulders slumped as he looked at the ground, seemingly looking for a hole to throw himself down into. "And with my luck, that's what happened."
"So I offer a possibility for a wish," Hild began. When Keiichi looked at her, she said with a gentle smile. "Wish for me to be by your side. I'll ensure that you will live long enough to meet Belldandy again."
Keiichi narrowed his eyes. "What are you getting out of the wish?"
"A man like you by my side. I'm lonely and have a certain type. As Daimakaichō, I can push back any effort by my Board of directors to separate us," Hild answered.
"And what would Urd think?" Keiichi asked.
"Knowing her, she'd come down to separate us. So you being with me would give me a chance to reconnect with my daughter," Hild answered.
"And what if… When I meet with Belldandy, what if I decide to leave you for her?" Keiichi asked.
"If that is what you want at that time, I'll respect your wishes. Demons are known to professionally following their deals to the letter," Hild answered. "But what of the reverse? What if you decide to choose me over Belldandy?"
"Or the possibility that you want to have both by your side?" Scanty asked with a smirk.
Keiichi had a brief imagine spot of Belldandy and Hild in lingerie, lying in bed with him. Wiping away his nosebleed, Keiichi squeaked, "We'll-We'll cross that bridge when we get to it!"
Hild held her hand out as she asked, "So… Do you, Keiichi Morisato, wish for me, Hild, to be by your side? With the caveat that the moment you have met Belldandy again and have the opportunity of having her by your side once more, you can cancel our wish or have Belldandy included in our arrangement?"
Keiichi stared at her hand for longer than he expected.
Eventually, he grabbed her hand and shook.

Notes from HotelKatz : I've wanted to write a fic where Panty is Belldandy's angel for some time now.
As for the other half, I suspect Hild might be playing the long game.
Sure, I'd want her to actually fall in love with Keiichi, but there's a part of me that thinks this Hild is being really petty. Like she sees Ansuz as the one who stole Tyr from her, so Hild is getting revenge via stealing Keiichi from Belldandy.
But if Hild is really serious about wanting a relationship with Keiichi, it might explain why the deal is not really in Hild's favor.
Honestly, the deal part is where I wish I had written these chapters earlier in the year, so they could be betaread. Yes, all these chapters are unbeta'd and it really shows.
I'm tempted to use ideas from my possible OC fic, where the Abandoned Arcade Mara lives in canon gets reopened and has human-safe video games from Hell.
And I know, Scanty and Kneesocks could be removed and replaced with anyone in this chapter.
