By miracle, luck, or skill, Keiichi has managed to crawl off of the road and onto the sidewalk. Exhausting all of his strength, Keiichi pulls his body onto the sidewalk and faints again from the strain on his body.
"Bell. . .dan. . .dy. . ." he utters quietly before collapsing onto the unforgiving pavement.
Belldandy, who is 3 km away searching for Keiichi in a park, feels a black omen looming at that moment.
"Keiichi! Where are you?!" she shouts as she searches for Keiichi.
Skuld and Urd have decided to split up to cover more ground. Although they worked together to get the security tapes at the Chiba Metro Station, they now would now separate or, as Skuld said to Urd "I don't need you hindering my genious!!"
After searching for hours for Keiichi, Belldandy is the closest to his location. Unfortunately, she has been using mirrors to travel far too much. Her method of quickly searching a location and then transporting to another location is more effective in search, but she's expended much of her divine energies. Skuld and Urd aren't far behind Belldandy, but they are using a more thorough searching technique, walking (or flying on Stringfellow, the magical broom) from location to location.
"What the heck?? I can sense Belldandy!" Urd notes. "She must have waken from her 'nap.'" As Urd ponders what her next move should be, Skuld moves closer to Keiichi and into the rougher part of Tokyo.
"Heh heh. . ."
Hearing a voice behind her, Skuld whirls around to find a short, fat man reeking of alcohol. Clearly drunk. . . with his attention on Skuld. . .
"What's a nice g-girl like you doing in a place like this? Hows about we get out of the cold and in-into my b-bed?" he stutters as he grabs Skuld's hand.
Skuld reaches around her back with lighting quick reflexes and grabs her mallet, her weapon. Just as she's about to smash the mallet into the man's face, a large metal pipe strikes the back of the man's greasy hair.
"Hey kid! Are you ok? My name is Jason Morisato. Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you."
Skuld stares at the short, casually dressed man. After the sting of being called a kid fades away, Skuld realizes that this person wasn't like the perverted one. He was kind. He helped her (although she could have escaped herself) even though he didn't know her. That was the type of thing that Keiichi would do; he'd help those in need, regardless of the situation.
"Why couldn't you be Keiichi?" Skuld sighs to herself after quickly thanking the man.
"Hmmm? What was that about Keiichi?"
Skuld looked at the person in disbelief. He'd overheard her sighing about Keiichi.
"Yea, I said 'why couldn't you be Keiichi?'"
". . . .Heh! I'm a lot like Keiichi in more ways than one!"
Skuld had started to walk away but whirls around when he mentions Keiichi.
"Do you know Keiichi Morisato? He's a short guy with black hair and a college student at Nekomi Tech," Skuld eagerly asks as she grabs onto the man's white shirt.
". . . . uh yea, he's my nephew. . . why?"
"Have you seen him recently?"
"I saw him two days ago. He came to visit my apartment, why?"
"Where's your apartment?" Skuld asks.
"I'll show you. Are you a friend of Keiichi's?"
". . . uh yea, I'm his girl-friend's sister."
'Odd,' Skuld thinks to herself as the both of them walk towards the apartment. 'I usually don't consider Belldandy as Keiichi's girlfriend, but it feels like I can tell this man anything. . . The similarities between Keiichi and Jason are just amazing! Maybe kindness is a familiy trait. . .'
"We're here, this is the apartment. Keiichi came by yesterday morning. Now why are you looking for him? He's probably back in Chiba by now."
". . . thanks for your help!" Skuld calls as she sprints away from Jason.
Belldandy has gotten extremely close to Keiichi's location by now. Urd is farther away, and Skuld is fairly close to Belldandy. Rushing away from Jason's apartment, Skuld runs into Belldandy, who is searching frantically through much of Tokyo.
"Belldandy! Keiichi went to his uncle's apartment a couple of days ago! He's probably somewhere really close!"
"I know. I can feel him. He's hurt," Belldandy said with tears in her eyes. "I want you to go back and to find Urd. When you do, I want both of you to go back to the temple and prepare some type of healing potion for when I return with him."
Looking into Belldandy's eyes, Skuld could tell that she was deeply troubled by Keiichi's disappearance so she decided to obey rather than staying and helping her search.
"Ok, Belldandy! Urd and I will be ready!" Skuld shouted as she leapt through a puddle of water to go search for Urd.
"Keiichi, I'm on my way," Belldandy promises as she sprints off towards the origin of Keiichi's energy. After several moments of tracking the origin of Keiichi's energy, Belldandy comes to an open road with an alley in it. Walking towards the point of Keiichi's energy which appeared to be in the alley, Belldandy notices something bright red on the ground in front of her. A bouquet of flowers, of two dozen long stemmed roses . . .
Realizing that the energy was actually Keiichi's love trapped in the flowers, Belldandy sprints down the alleyway with tears flowing from her cheeks.
