Lets play the game - chapter 3

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

" . . . he . . . you . . . but that means . . . all of you . . . how . . . why . . . I think I'll just take a quick nap now if you don't mind" And with those last words, Megumi fainted.

"How am I gonna explain all of this?" Keiichi sighed, and picked up his sister from the floor ~although, on the bright side, if Troubador does end up staying with us, there is an even higher chance of Belldandy and myself having to share a room~ Keiichi tried to continue his trail of thought from earlier, but was once again interrupted

"You want me to give Megumi a potion for that Kei?" Urd inquired

"Naw, she'll wake up soon anyway, it'll be fine" Keiichi started towards the house.

----------------------

"We haven't made any plans for today Kei, so is there anything you would like to do?" Belldandy asked, taking a sip of her tea

"Uhhhhh . . . no, I can't think of anything really, maybe Megumi will have some idea's . . . once she has woken up . . . and got over the fact that you are all goddesses . . . uhhh, maybe not, hnmmmmm . . . I don't know Bell, is there anything you would like to do?"

"There are plenty of things we could do, I'm happy doing anything you want to do Kei" Bell smiled

"I vote we play strip poker!" chibi-Peorth said in a playful voice while jumping in the air

"Keep low or they'll see us, but strip poker is a very good idea, or spin the bottle as long as the bottle contains on of my special potions, with a spell to make it spin towards Keiichi and Belldandy every time" chibi-Urd said wide eyed while grabbing what she could of chibi-Peorth's very few clothes and pulling her down so Belldandy wouldn't notice they were eavesdropping behind a pot plant.

"Only trouble with these wonderful plans is that they will never work, there is no way we can get Belldandy or Keiichi to play strip poker, spin the bottle is a little more likely, but Bell would notice the spell cast upon the bottle. We need to think through this" chibi-Peorth started to pace, deep in concentration.

"Skuld would get in the way, she would want to come with us if we went out, so we must stay in"

"It looks like Skuld is busy outside with Banpeii anyway" chibi-Urd remarked

"So then we must play a game inside, an unsuspicious game, that will get those two physically closer, so we can complete the 'first stage' of our plan"

"Yup, with those six stages we have come up with, getting those two together will be easy, and they won't even realise we are doing it, I'm a genius" chibi-Urd got a starry look in her eyes

"Hey, I'm the organiser here, I helped, that makes me a genius too" chibi- Peorth got the same starry look.



"Oh, Bell, before I forget, there is a race coming up next week, we are entering with the sidecar, would you mind being my partner?"

"Of course not Kei, I'd love to" Belldandy smiled

"Thanks, well that's set then" Keiichi smiled back

"Yes that is, and so is this" full-sized Peorth held up a twister mat (like in 'sympathy for the devil', but without all the bugs ^^) with a mischievous grin on her face, and full-sized Urd standing right behind and slightly to the left of her, with the same expression.

"There are bugs again?" Keiichi asked

"Of course not silly, we just heard you hadn't made plans, and you can't go out and just leave Megumi here, so we came up with a solution" Peorth kept the grin

"'Just heard' huh? Sure" Keiichi muttered to himself

"Either way, we are going to play" Urd replied, apparently having heard

"Oh goodie! I'll call out the instructions" Troubador teleported in overly enthusiastic, "sorry, I wasn't going to come back here for a while, but this game is sooooo fun"

"That's good, it means both of us can play, which means we can both try and get Belldandy and Keiichi into suggestive positions" Peorth whispered to Urd.

----------------

"Okay, I'm sure we all know the rules, but there is one more thing I have added to my lovely twister game, that is, another course of action" Peorth told the small group

~Uh oh~ Keiichi thought, he dreaded what this might be

"Instead of having to put your hand or foot somewhere on the board, you might be instructed to take it off the board, and you are not allowed to put it down on the floor beside the board either, and there is no limit to how many hands or feet you have to take off the board. Okay, lets begin, Kei, your first" Peorth said triumphantly, while pointing to the said person.

The mat was a square with a total of 25 coloured circles (5 by 5). The circles were coloured diagonally in three different colours; red, blue and yellow. It was similar in size to the one in 'sympathy for the devil' except it had an extra row.

-------------------

~well, lets see, I could either put my hand over there, no, that would mean I would have to touch Urd's leg Keiichi cringed . . . maybe not, lets see, where else . . . there is one sort-of under Belldandy, it is reachable, but it would mean I would have to get my arm very close to Belldandy's body . . . hey, its not like that's a bad thing, okay, I'll go there~

The five were well into their little game to pass time, Keiichi was pleased that he had not yet got into any particularly sticky (pun not intended) situations with Belldandy despite Peorth's and Urd's efforts to limit the places on the mat where Keiichi could move to. Although Urd's and Peorth's efforts were not in vain, for they had managed to get Belldandy sitting on the floor, legs apart but not in a way that was particularly unladylike, with Keiichi on top of her, facing the floor. His face was at her neck, and the two were pretty much parallel, with just about a foot (measurement) between the floor and Belldandy's shoulders. Peorth had ended up with only her right hand left on the mat, which meant that she had to hold herself upside down with one hand, and the help of her powers as a goddess to support most of her weight. Urd got lucky, and got to have two feet on the mat, pretty close to each other too. Urd and Peorth were either side of Belldandy and Keiichi, and further down on the mat, although they did alter their positions every now and again to prevent the couple (namely Keiichi) from being able to radically change their positions from on top of each other.

Keiichi tried to hide his blush as he manoeuvred his right hand in-between Belldandy's arm and her body, putting it to rest slightly under Belldandy's left side very far up (or at least that's what he thought). This position did cause Keiichi to blush quite a bit despite his efforts not too, as his forearm was pressing against the side of Belldandy's chest, although this, of course, did not faze the goddess, she continued with her next go, apparently ignorant to the two older and very smug looking goddesses either side of her, making no effort to control the smirks appearing on their faces.

"Okay Belldandy, its your go next . . . left hand off the mat" Troubador said with a smile on his face, realising what was to come

"You don't mind do you Kei?"

"Of course not, Bell" Keiichi replied before realising what it was Belldandy was talking about. Belldandy took her left arm and quickly wrapped it around Keiichi's shoulders. Keiichi now knew what she was talking about, she needed to hold onto him to keep herself from falling over, and to make Keiichi blush even more, she was pressing even more against his right arm because she was off balance, and pulling him down further onto him in order to keep herself up. Troubador giggled slightly, but Urd and Peorth couldn't help themselves, Peorth almost lost her balance on her one hand that was keeping her up. However, Urd's position was harder to keep, she lost her balance and fell down on top of Keiichi, he couldn't support her weight and fell down on top of Belldandy. Urd rolled off the top of Keiichi laughing and straight into Peorth, causing her to fall over and onto the human and goddess pile on the floor. Eventually, Belldandy was on the floor, Keiichi on top of her, trying to support some of the weight being brought down upon Belldandy, Urd on top of Keiichi at an angle, and Peorth on top of Urd, at a right angle to Keiichi and Belldandy.

"Sorry Bell, are you alright?" finally seeing the humour in the situation

"Yes thank you Kei, I'm fine, but are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine, although for goddesses, you two sure are heavy" Keiichi gestured towards Urd and Peorth. They both shot him an angry look back, then Peorth smiled and said "Both? Don't you mean her" Peorth nodded at Urd, smirking

"No dear, by 'both' he was talking about you" Urd shot back, also smirking. Peorth did not have time to reply, as a familiar voice came ringing through the house. Keiichi cringed.

"Morisato. Morisato. Oh . . . hope I'm not interrupting anything . . . " Sayoko trailed off as she noticed Keiichi "Well, well Morisato, in-between three girls, I didn't think you had it in you" Sayoko smirked as she circled the group. "Belldandy, Urd, and I don't believe we have met before" Sayoko gestured towards Peorth at the top of the muddle of figures. In an instant Peorth was in one of her well practiced introductory poses "Peorth of the Roses . . . " She was going to continue with 'it's a pleasure to meet you', but judging by the looks on Urd's and Keiichi's faces, she decided it may be better to wait and see whether meeting this person would indeed be a pleasure. "You may call me Sayoko . . . " Sayoko said in a way that could easily be mistaken for I'm-higher-than-you-don't-waste-my-time.

"Oh I may, may I . . . " Peorth mumbled angrily under her breath

" . . . And you may refer to me in a more personal manner if you like" Sayoko had noticed Troubador who was previously hidden by shadows, and was now knelt down in front of the god, clutching his hands, unaware that Urd was snarling at her from behind, staying on top of Keiichi so he could not get off Belldandy. After a moment, Sayoko recovered her composure, cleared her throat, and got up. "Well, isn't anyone going to introduce us?"

"Sayoko, this is Troubador, a friend of ours . . . " Belldandy filled in

"A close friend" Urd added before Bell had a chance to finish

"Not too close I hope" Sayoko replied, smiling and glancing at Troubador in a seductive manner

" . . . And Troubador, this is Sayoko, she goes to the same college that Keiichi and I go to" Belldandy finished Troubador got up and bowed deeply.

================ Well, that's another chapter up, again, any suggestions, comments, even spelling errors if you feel like it fire_keese@hotmail.com - palace won't let me in (cruel people). Thank you for all the suggestions for this chapter and the whole fic, the person I got the most inspiration from was thegoddessbelldandy (says she needs to recover from school work before she can start writing properly again, the gw fic will come this summer holidays ^^), so thank you to you. If you are wondering why I did not answer any e- mails, its because I read them, and was planning a mass reply to e-mails session, but palace would not let me in (probably because they finally realised that I put my hometown as Ikana ^^). Anyway, sorry this took such a long time, I place the fault mainly on exams, and for people wondering when the lemon will come.when I feel like it, we still have the whole six stages to come that Urd and Peorth have made up. But I am planning (or have thought about at least) a fic where Belldandy almost gets raped, but I'm not giving anything away just yet. And anyone who likes j-pop, download Koda Kumi - Love Across the Ocean from http://www.jpopwind.com, in the English download section, its very good, and so are most of the other songs there. And anyone who likes Inoue Kikuko, and would like to trade mp3's, or just talk (you can tell I'm not doing much this summer). Until next time (which should be pretty soon)
