Even more innocent than the last chapter

================

"Hey Kei, you got a minute?" Megumi asked her brother through the door to him room

"Yeah, just coming Megumi" Keiichi replied. He had finished tidying his room about half an hour ago, but didn't invite Megumi in just in case. He came out and closed the door behind him.

"Otaki wanted me to tell you that you're in a race next week, you're gonna be in the sidecar, so pick a partner ie Belldandy. Time and place is on here Megumi handed him the advertisement for the race. Hey, is it okay if I hang here for a while, if you have space that is, I mean, with Belldandy's other friend here and all"

"Belldandy's other friend?" ~don't tell me, it can't be, not her again.~

"Yeah, I think her name was Peorth" ~oh great, what could she want this time I wonder~ Keiichi thought to himself

"She's staying here?"

"By the looks of it Kei, why, weren't you told or something?"

"Well, she does kinda drop in and out at will. Why do you need to stay here anyway?"

"My place is being redecorated, I'd just get in the way"

"Well I'm sure we can fit you in somewhere" ~with all these people staying over maybe I'll have to stay in the same room as Bell, hehee~ a huge grin appeared on Keiichi's face, but before Kei had time to think of unsuitable thoughts, Megumi interrupted.

"Great, I'll get my stuff"

"You want a hand?"

"Yes please Kei" ~well lets see . . . Peorth will probably take up my room again, and I don't think anyone could go there, that means I'll have to go with Bell, and Megumi can go . . . Urd's room - potions, nope, Skuld's room - machines, I guess that's not as bad, we'll have to see what Skuld thinks~

Keiichi walked out to the house and into the fresh air outside, the sun was shining, and it was a nice warm day. ~oh good, its going to be a nice evening~ Keiichi predicted ~I'll just have to make good use of it, lets see, that would be a nice spot for Belldandy and I to sit and . . . ~

"Hey Bell, I'm going to stay over for a while if its okay with you" Megumi said to Belldandy who had gone back to feeding the birds, suspending Keiichi's trail of thought

"Well of course its fine, but . . . er, Kei, where is everyone going to sleep?"

"Lets not worry about that just yet Bell, we can talk about it with everyone later, okay"

"Yes, that's a good idea" Belldandy smiled at Keiichi, causing him to hesitate his walking for a very brief moment, he smiled back ~I know she smiles all the time, but there's something about that smile I could never get bored of~

"There, that's a key, we just need to capture it and unlock their hearts with it, once we've done that we can give them a chance to let out all of their sexual feelings, don't you agree?" Peorth asked her partner. Urd and Peorth were stationed in the bush they jumped in, still chibifyed with their chibi binoculars.

"If you say so, I still don't see why I couldn't be the leader"

"Neither of us our leaders, like I said before, I just need to organise so this works"

"But why you . . . "

"Because I'm the one wearing the first class unlimited licence title, and you're not"

Urd pouted at this and took her eyes from her binoculars and put her hands on her hips. "hnmmmmmmm . . . "



"Geez, Megumi, why on Earth do you have so much stuff?" Keiichi struggle to pick up one of her four suitcases full of . . . Keiichi couldn't tell, she couldn't possibly have this many clothes, could she? After a few attempts at lifting the thing off the ground, Keiichi gave up and decided to drag it all the way to the house in instead, Megumi's motorbike and mini trailer were stationed just outside the entrance to the temple. All the same, Keiichi couldn't figure out how he could drag something of this weight all the way to the entrance, let alone up the stairs to the temple. After five minutes of solid dragging, or at least that's what Keiichi regarded it as, infact, he had a one minute break every thirty seconds to catch his breath and rest, Belldandy came out to see what was going on (she heard Keiichi panting). Keiichi was lying face down on the pavement next to Megumi's bag, halfway between the temple entrance and the rest of Megumi's stuff, and Megumi was standing with the rest of her bags, trying very hard not to laugh at Keiichi's attempts, but failing miserably. Bell smiled, and helped Kei to his feet.

"Do you want me to use my powers to get Megumi's bags in Kei?"

"But that would mean that Megumi might find out that you were a goddess"

"Do you want her to find out or not?" Kei had to think very hard about this one, he sat down, cross-legged, cross- armed, his mouth tight, and concentrated hard. Megumi walked over.

"So what's he doing now then Bell?"

"Thinking"

"Sure looks like it" Megumi replied

"There you are sister, I've been looking for you" Skuld came through the entrance and regarded the scene in front of her; Keiichi sitting down on the pavement next to a bag, apparently thinking very hard, Bell and Megumi looking down at him"

"Oh hi Skuld, Keiichi needs a little help with these bags, do you think Banpeii could do it?" Belldandy replied

"Sure, whose are they?"

"Mine, maybe I shouldn't have packed them so full" Megumi said smiling

"You are going to be staying here a while then Megumi?"

"Yeah, hopefully redecorating my place won't take to long, but I brought plenty of stuff just in case it does"

"Right, well I'll be right back, with my new upgraded Banpeii, he's super fast" Skuld said running back into the temple grounds

"Thanks Bell"

"No problem Kei" Keiichi got off the ground again just in time to get out of the way of a charging Banpeii, who picked the suitcase up in one hand, ran to get the others, then dashed back past a triumphant looking Skuld and into the temple with two suitcases in each hand. Keiichi and Megumi sweatdropped.

"Well . . . it sure is . . . convenient, don't you think Megumi?" Kei forced out with an unsure smile

" . . . "

"Lets go inside shall we" Belldandy gestured towards the temple

" . . . how . . . ?"

"wouldn't give it much thought if I were you Megumi" Keiichi started towards the house with Belldandy right behind

" . . . uh . . . right . . . I'll just park my bike" Megumi followed.

"AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhh, get away from me you hideous mechanical snowman, I'm not intruding!" Yelled an angry chibi-Peorth running around in circles, arms up in the air, running from Skuld's new Banpeii and the 30cm pistol in its hand. The group entered the temple grounds to find chibi-Urd laughing, and chibi-Peorth and Skuld yelling at each other.

"How dare you insult my wonderful creation!"

"Your evil little machine is going haywire, it's trying to shoot me. Urd what are you laughing at" Banpeii then looked in the direction chibi-Peorth was pointing, and saw another 'intruder'.

"Intruder count two" Banpeii said in a mechanical voice

"Uh-oh" Urd instantly stopped laughing and ran away from the barrel of Banpeii's gun

"Waddaya do that for Peorth!"

"Oh isn't my invention so clever" Skuld stated while clasping her hand together and getting a starry look in her eyes

"Uh, but Skuld, that's Urd and Peorth you machine is trying to shoot" Keiichi tried to say as innocently as possible

"So it needs a little work, but it could be worse, and anyway, with the things those two get up to (pun not intended), maybe its best for them to kill a bit of time, and besides, they can now run off all the saké they drink"

"mmmmmm . . . " Keiichi smiled weakly

"HEY! What's Peorth doing here anyway?"

"Oh I'm sorry Skuld, I forgot to tell you, Peorth is staying here for a while as well" Belldandy said smiling

"For how long?!" Skuld asked her sister

"For as long as I like, so there" chibi-Peorth yelled, still running in circles with Urd

"I don't think Peorth knows Skuld, as long as she feels she needs to be here, is that right Peorth?"

"Yup, Bell, its more interesting here than in hea ~mortal coming~ where we come from" Peorth smiled and unchibifyed herself, Urd did the same. Megumi walked to the group, hearing the last sentence but seeing nothing suspicious

"Where are all of you guys from anyway? I mean, you all keep suddenly appearing, and you wear the strangest clothes, don't get me wrong, I like them and all, but I've never seen clothes quite like the ones I've seen some of you wear". Urd and Peorth drew their lips to a taut line, put their hands behind their backs and looked at each other with perfectly innocent faces. Skuld backed away a bit and look anxious, her eyes darting from person to person, but never coming in contact with Megumi's. Bell remained her usual composure, closed her eyes and nudged Kei in the arm. Kei received the nudge.

"Uh, oh, um, well, you see . . . uhhh" was all Keiichi managed to say

"What it's like, some big secret? C'mon Kei, I'm your sister, its not like I'm gonna tell anyone"

"Well, um . . . okay. Megumi . . . Belldandy, Urd, Skuld and Peorth are . . . "

"There you are Urd, looking great may I add, I have a present for you, Peorth's little friend in heaven, Ex, gave it to me to give to you, so here I am. Hey Kei count me in on that list will you" Keiichi was cut off by the appearance of . . . Troubador

"So you wanna be know as a goddess do you?" Urd remarked

"Second thoughts, no. I'll have a list of my own ^^" Troubador grinned and handed the wrapped item to Urd

"Why did Ex wrap it?"

"She didn't, that's why I did ^^" Troubador grinned again. The group sweatdropped except for Megumi and Troubador of course.

"Troubador . . . " Urd eyed the dark-haired man suspiciously ".why did Ex send me flowers?" the whole group then stared at Troubador except for Megumi who had been staring at him the whole time.

"She didn't, I needed an excuse to get out of heaven"

"Why was that?"

"Well, this place is the only place on Earth at the moment with one Goddess on, let alone four, and I thought we needed to round it off with a God, oh look, another mortal to meet" Troubador flew over to Megumi, took her hands in his, and shook them.

"Hello, I'm Troubador, it's nice to meet you"

"That's Megumi" Kei had to fill in for Megumi's lack of words

"So Troubador, will you be staying too?" Belldandy asked

"Too?"

"Yes, already got two new recruits today, isn't that a coincidence" Belldandy smiled

"I'm not sure if I can I'm afraid, I'll see . . . well nice to see you all, and nice to meet you Megumi, later" Troubador teleported away.



=============== Okay, well I have a rough idea of what will happen in the next chapter, but if anyone would like to suggest an idea, I would be grateful. I will make sure that you get appropriate ownership of your idea aswell. Anyway, what did you think of that chapter, I think its all getting a little innocent, I'll have lemon at the end I promise, cause that's the whole point of the fic, but I'll need more chapters first.
