Keiichi watched as Belldandy slept. Thinking and wondering about what had happened. He had died, he was certain of that but then what? Was he just a spirit of the past Keiichi? (By pinching himself a few times he got rid of that idea.) It was as if another presence had taken over back in the dark one's lair. He didn't remember forming the thoughts nor did he remember having such strength. All that he knew was that he had to save her. Had to get Belldandy from that awful place once and for all. It didn't mater how, as long as it was done. He recalled the strange force taking over when he became furious at the laughter of that man. He recalled the moment now.
~Flashback~ A cold rage flickered somewhere in the dark corner of his mind. A feeling unfamiliar it seemed but yet, it was similar. 'Well, what are you waiting for?' a small voice in his head asked him. 'Well what,' he asked hesitantly, a bit unnerved at the voice of the newcomer. 'I guess I have to do everything be myself,' the voice said, sighing, 'just don't fight me and I can promise that everything will be fine.' With that, the small bit of anger rose up, as a fire that had been blown. The anger rose within him and consumed his mind. His eyes glittered as the fire spread through him, covering everything. Before long, Keiichi was acting without thought. A fog covered the rational parts of his brain, and his fear. Keiichi snapped back to place as he was kneeling beside Belldandy. She was hurt. And, he realized as the rage rose up once again to consume, she was collared and shackled. Keiichi forced down the anger, telling himself to get Belldandy to safety before he lost control. She had to be healed first. That little voice then came again, 'Silly lad,' it said, 'oh well, your mind is set I suppose. Here, you don't know what you are doing. Let me help.' He could feel his hands moving towards her face. A jolt shook through his body as he saw a small spark emerge from his fingertips. And then he was home. ~End Flashback~
'Well,' he thought, 'the important thing is that Belldandy's safe.' "Is it?" a small voice whispered, "Well then, if that's it, what happens now? Why do you still have all the powers? Why didn't you kill the dark lord when you had the chance. He's more powerful than you realize, you know. You just caught him in a state of shock. (sigh) Why fate has made you the savior I'll never know. Surely there are ones better for the job besides some foolish, lovesick mortal. And a human one at that. Oh well. I guess I have to work with what I have." 'Hey!' he thought back furiously, 'Look. I don't know what's going on and why I'm all of a sudden a god but give me a break here and stop talking about me like I'm not even here.' he tried to protest more but then, all thoughts stopped when he felt a gentle hand on his. "Keiichi." a whisper reached his ears. "It's alright Bell. You're safe now. No one will ever hurt you again, so long as I'm here." "Keiichi." she whispered again, reaching out to stroke his cheek as if making sure that he was really there. "Keiichi.how?" "I don't know Bell," he struggled with his words, "I really don't" "What happened Keiichi? What happened to you?" "Well, I came home from my errands to look for you and I found a shell of yours, or so it seemed. I took it inside and left it on the bed. I was coming up with a thermometer when it came down by itself. It started to.to." Keiichi blushed and broke off. "Started to what?" "It started tying to seduce me. Now, don't get me wrong Bell, she looked like you. I mean, she was disguised as you. We didn't get anywhere though. She took off my shirt and injected me with some type of chemical. Everything then sort of blacks out until it looks like I'm in your arms again. And then, it feels as if my skin is on fire and all this electricity is inside. I started floating and spinning. I remember this burning feeling on my forehead. It felt like every cell in my body was trying to tear itself apart from its neighbor. Then, I was on my feet and I looked to the bed and I saw Peorth lying there. I got the truth from her and to be honest, I don't know how. It was like I was someone different but I somehow cast a truth net on her by using a rune. I heard myself talking but I didn't realize that it was me until I was asking all these questions about you." "Oh Keiichi. I'm so sorry. It's all my fault. I didn't know that it would cause you so much pain.."she trailed off. "It's alright Bell, I'm fine now and if you hadn't done what you done, The dark lord would have taken over by now." "Still, I didn't mean to hurt you." "I said before Bell, I'm fine. Just a little confused." "At what Keiichi?" "Well, Am I really a god? How long will this power last? Forever? What about you? Are you still a goddess? What about your powers? How did I know what I was doing with the magic? Why am I doing things that I don't know of? Who is the dark lord? And why did he want you? Why do I have three signs on my forehead? Why is there a little thing speaking to me from time to time and taking control of my body? How did the dark lord gain control of everyone like that anyway? And why did he just let us leave? Why aren't I dead? I died in the passage through to his place. What happened?" he sighed. "I'm sorry Bell. I just have so many questions. I won't bother you until after you have had your rest." She tried to protest but Keiichi put a finger to her lips and pushed her back on to the bed gently. "I'll be right here. We'll talk when you wake up." Belldandy sighed and closed her eyes.
