"I still can't believe it. I'm getting married....... Married to Belldandy!" Keiichi thought as he raced down the highway on his way back home after school.
"She said yes. YES... I must be the luckiest guy in the world!" he exclaimed as he drove home, his spirits high.

"So you're actually gonna get married to him?" Urd asked her, still completely amazed that Keiichi had the guts to finally ask Belldandy.

"Yes. I love him. And for as long as he needs me, I'll be with him forever." Belldandy replied as she chopped up some vegetables in preparation for dinner.

"He's the best thing to ever happen to me."

"Gee. You sure are hung up on him, aren't you?"

"Someday, when you fall in love, you'll understand Urd."

"What's there to understand?"

"Love. I can't really explain it but its such a strong emotion that I feel nothing, not even fate, could tear us apart as long as we love each other."

As Keiichi drove home, the skies opened to let the rain fall. The sudden downpour drenched Keiichi.

"Damn this rain. And DAMN this traffic!!" he shouted to the slow moving cars that inched along in front of him.

Just about two hundred meters away, an elderly man was having respiratory problems while he was driving and soon passed out. As the man's foot met with the gas pedal the car quickly began to pick up speed. The car came up behind Keiichi at such a high speed that he had no time to react before his motorcycle was impacted by the speeding car. Keiichi was thrown from his bike just before it was completely destroyed. He ended up around ten meters from the mutilated wreckage of his motorcycle, landing motionless, on the hard Earth. A large puddle of blood began to form under his limp body.
"B....Belldandy...." Was all he could voice before blood seeped out the side of his mouth, as he blacked out.

Belldandy dropped the knife instantly, as both she and Urd felt that something wasn't quite right.

"Keiichi! Something is wrong. I can feel it!" she cried.

"I feel it too. We need to get to him immediately!" Urd urged as they both vanished.

They reappeared outside a large crowd of motorists that had surrounded him.
"Please! Let me past!" Belldandy cried desperately trying to reach him. A small pathway opened for her as she saw him lying motionless on the road. She ran to his side swiftly and dropped to her knees in tears as she took him in her arms. "Keiichi!" she pleaded to her love, trying to awaken him.
"He still breathing, but…" Urd trailed off. "He's growing weaker."

Slowly, his eyes opened to narrow slits, to see Belldandy in tears. He slowly reached his right hand to her, to brush the tears from her cheeks.

"I'm... sorry..." he said quietly, as blood continued to trickle from his damaged mouth. "It looks… like I... " Was all he could say before she lightly placed her right index finger over his lips.

"You'll be.... ok" she said, still in tears as she tried to comfort him.
Urd slowly turned, knowing there was nothing more she could do for Keiichi.

" I... love.. you." were the final words he spoke, as his body fell limp, and his eyes drifted shut for the last time ever.

She just couldn't take it. Feeling utterly hopeless, Belldandy cried out in pain for her loss. "I love you too.... Keiichi," she whispered, gently kissing his forehead.
She slowly closed her teary eyes, and whispered softly to herself, as the rain began to pound the sodden Earth, washing his precious blood across the broken highway. "It can't end this way... I won't let it."
