Okay, I'm going to switch this up a bit, and work on a few of my other characters. ^-^

Calesta growled as he paced the well-worn tiles of hell.
"She's back! I can feel it!" There was laughter behind him, which he ignored.
"Brooding over that goddess again, hey Cal?" Calesta winced, he hated that nickname. Akuma just continued to laugh as he sipped his drink from his seat in his council room. "Give up. It's not like you can ever find her. You've been trying for centuries, and you still haven't found her! Some Deamon." He sniffed, still sipping his drink. Calesta only growled and stormed out of the council room without saying a word. He hated when Akuma was right, although on most occasions he usually wasn't. He only liked to bask in the Glory of Devil-hood and rub it in his face, only because he was having so much trouble in being raised. Although Akuma didn't know that once raised, He would be stronger then Akuma, but by playing his cards right, he had convinced the devil that he would only be his right hand devil, and nothing more.
He continued out the door way and then down the hall, continuing to mutter to himself. And it was from there that he ran into an unfortunate being in the mists of hell.
"Mara, darling! How is it going?" He through on the charm with a slab of sarcasm in his voice, stopping the demon in her tracts.
"Get Lost!"
"Tsk tsk, Now that is no way of treating those higher then you."
"Your Right, Buzz off! Your lower then me! If you were any higher you would be a human!"
"Ouch!" He pretended to be wounded to the heart, causing Mara to roll her eyes.
"Yeah yeah, like that really hurt. But I have more important things to do then to sit here and throw insults."
"Hey hey, just one second." She stopped from moving down the hallway, and he touched her shoulder. "You're in charge of making the lives of the Norns while they are here on earth, right?"
"In Charge?!!?" She bust out laughing, "In charge?! Ha! I do it cause I WANT to! I've pushed of requests and orders just to that way I can find some way of getting one on that goodie goodie, Belldandy!"
"Well then. Why aren't you there?"
"She's gone on a wish granting mission." She just shrugged, but Calesta guessed more, not saying anything.
"Ah! so that is why you are hanging her with the lower then low."
"Piss off!" And with that she spun around and walked away as quickly as she could away from him.
Calesta just watched her go with a slight smirk on his face. but frowned as he remembered what she had said. *Belldandy granting a wish? that's odd. last time that I checked she couldn't do that while she was sill in a contract with that mortal...whatshisname...K1 or something like that. hmm* He brooded as he headed out to his room. *She's back, I can feel it. And when she DOES show herself, I will be ready! I Promise, Arie, I will kill you!*
He continued walking as he brooded over this might-be turn events.

Back in Asgard...

Arie blushed as she was fawned over by Belldandy and Kyo. Especially Kyo.
"My Dear! You look as beautiful as you were when you first left, if not more!" Reaching for her hand with his, he pulled it close to his lips and gave the back of her hand a soft kiss.
Belldandy just smiled. Arie just looked at her. *Does she remember, or is she as clueless about this as me?* Shrugging it all off, she just smiled at she new Twin sister.
"Andre...er..Arie...er.. Who do we call you?" Kyo asked, slightly caught over his own tongue.
Arie just smiled, "I'm Arie, and always will be. But I think that cause I do have a life outside of this one I think that maybe I'll keep my last name."
Kyo looked confused, but Belldandy just nodded understandably. "Last name?"
"Yeah, my name was Andrea Collet, but now I'm just Arie. And, well, I don't want to forget that life, well not yet anyways." Arie paused with a slight shutter, and then continued, "So, I was thinking, What's my name, well my last name in Japanese?"
"Collet? I think its Korurestu."
"That's it!" Arie Squealed, and gave a squinty eyed smile, " Arie Koruretsu! It's Perfect!"
"Your right, it does. For you anyways." This was the first that Belldandy actually spoke. Arie hadn't really realized how close their voices were, other then Bell's being a bit more airy, but not much. The tone was still pretty much the same.
"Gee, Bell, do you have a last name?"
She shook her head, "No, but I guess if I did have a last name it would be Sama, as in Kami-sama."
"Kami-Sama's our father?!?" Arie's eyes went wide, causing Belldandy and Kyo to chuckle.
"No, Kami-Sama isn't our father, though he is the closest one that we have. Our father is Odin, the Same as Urd and Skuld."
"Urd and Skuld? Urd as in the one..." Arie didn't finish, cause a tear sprung up in Bell's eyes.
"yes, that's Urd. Urd is our older sister, the Goddess of the Past, and Skuld is our younger sister, the Goddess of the Future."
"I have sisters?!" Bell nodded.
"Well, I seem out of place a bit." Kyo chuckled as they both gave him a glare and a smile. Looking back at each other, both Arie and Belldandy laughed.
"It's okay, Kyo. I'll bring her back in a bit. I think that it's time for her to see her family. I'm sure that she'll have a warm welcome!" Kyo laughed and they said their good-byes. And with that Belldandy turned to Arie.
"Okay, first lesson. I want you to think of a really nice set of clothes that you really like to wear, that's comfortable."
"Why?"
"We're going home to Tokyo, Japan."
"What?!?!" Arie's eyes went wide again. "But I don't even speak Japanese!"
Belldandy grinned, "Yes you do! You're speaking it now!" She giggled over Arie's dumbfounded looking face.
"Oh."
"Okay, now pick a set of clothes and think hard." Arie did so, It didn't take much thought, and soon a soft glow surrounded her and her goddess uniform turned into an authentic turquoise blue kimono. Belldandy nodded and changed into her usual skirt, top and necklaces. And with that, She took Arie's hand and they were pulled again into a mirror of white light.
