Demonic Refreshment

Part II

The door to the small temple home opened, Keiichi held it there while Belldandy and Skuld walked inside, bags hanging off their arms.

"Urd! We're home!" Skuld called loudly, setting down her bags and taking off her jacket. All that greeted her welcome was and eerie silence. Skuld began to walk towards Urd's Room.

"Urd?"

Keiichi picked up Skulds bags after kicking off his shoes, and took them into the kitchen, followed closely by Belldandy. They set the bags down on the counter and began unpacking them to move things into the fridge.

"She's probably just drunk, or sleeping. Knowing Urd it's always on of the two." Keiichi said in a matter-of-fact way.

"Gu...guys! I think you should come and see this!!! NOW!!!!!" Skulds voice could be heard in an almost blood curdling scream.

~~~~~~

Urd walked around her new room, it was rather exotic to her. Even thought she was half demon, she was used to the bright colors that she grew up around. But she found that this change made her feel very comfortable.

A large four poster bed of deep cherry wood fit perfectly into a corner of the room, it's drapes of black silk hung loosely. Pillows adorned a far corner, their shades of black and red adding to the exotic look of the room.

The dark walls seemed to radiate a comfortable heat, and make everything seem all the more home-like.

With a contented smile, Urd walked over and sat her self down on the pillows, laying on her side with her hands under her head.

" Are you enjoying your new room Urd-san?"A large puff of flame burst from the floor and then faded away, revealing Lucifer, hands in his pockets, and an almost smiling expression.

Urd leaned up on her forearms a little and looked at Lucifer, and nodded a little.

The Hell Lord came forward and dropped to his knees right in front of her.

"I am glad that you like it. If there is anything else you could like, merely name it, and it will be yours." Running his hand alone her side, he felt her shiver much like she had when he had asked her to be his right hand. She curled up against his side, resting her hands on his thigh, and her head on top of them.

" I would like one thing, very much." She said with a sadistic grin, looking up at him but not raising her head. He was pretty much giving her the chance that she had wanted for so long, and finally it was going to be made a reality

"And what would that be, my lovely demoness?" He asked, smiling now, running his hand through her long white locks.

"The Goddess Belldandy, my half sister." Urd responded, pleading to him with her eyes.

"Then it shall be done, I will go and summon Youkima immediately." And with that, Lucifer once again was engulfed in flames, which oddly did no harm to Urd, and disappeared.

~~~~~~

Belldandy knelt beside the slashed and bloodied body of World of Elegance, as Keiichi ran into the adjoining washroom before the contents of his stomach ended up on the floor. Skuld on the other hand, had backed into a far corner, arms around her knees and face red with tears.

Belldandy couldn't understand what was going on, why was Urd's angel dead.

"Who could have done such a thing?" Skulds voice was shaking, and her sobs kept the words from coming out all at once. Keiichi came out of the bathroom, his face pale, with a look of sheer disgust at the morbid act.

"Most important of all, where's Urd?" Was all he asked, coming up behind Belldandy and putting his arms around her shoulders.

"I have no idea Keiichi-san, but I should go check with Yggdrassil, and assemble a search party for her. But We will wait until morning, it would be best. I think we should all retire for the evening, so we can get an early start tomorrow." With that Belldandy got up, and left the room quickly. The rough sliding of her closing door could be heard clearly, as well as her sobs. Keiichi looked to Skuld, and walked over to her, putting his hands on her shoulders.

"Come on Skuld, we should both do what Bell-chan says." He said, sighing confusedly. Skuld only nodded and quietly left the room, her door closing moments later. Keiichi looked once more at World of Elegance, her skin beginning to take on a grayish tint, and exited the room, turning out the lights as he went.

~~~~~~

"Youkima! Youkima!" The Hell Lord called from his throne, not impatiently, but loudly so that his servant would be able to hear him on which ever Hell plain he had chosen to spend his free time.

The Humanoid Youkima stepped through a portal and bowed on one knee before Lucifer.

"What Do you need of me my Lord?" He asked, his yellow eyes filling with a gleam of excitement.

"I need you to bring me someone, a goddess."

"Just give me her name, and I will do your bidding."

"Her name is Belldandy, Goddess First Class, Unlimited. You will find her the same place you found Ms. Urd, although this time, the intentions are not the same. Bring her here at all costs, and using all means you can, just bring her alive." Lucifer commanded, leaning forward, with his elbows on his knees, looking at Youkima with a grin

"I will return successful, My Lord. Nothing shall stop me." Youkima looked up, he could not wait. A Goddess meant there would be an Angel, and there was nothing he loved more than an angel to satisfy his hunger.
