Chapter 5, Un-wanting News:
Belldandy shifted closer to Keiichi, not really wanting to get up, but knew that Urd and Skuld would get back soon. She turned over, looking at Keichi. She smiled at the peaceful expression on his face.
Belldandy: Kei-kun? Kei-kun?
She shook his shoulder softly.
Belldandy: Kei-kun, wake up.
Keiichi finally opened his eyes. He looked at Belldandy and placed his hand on her cheek, smiling softly.
Keiichi: Good morning Bell-chan. What is it?
Belldandy: Sorry to have awaken you, but we need to get up before my sisters get back.
Keiichi: What time are they coming home?
Belldandy: Sometime around 12:00pm.
Keiichi glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already 11:30am. He hated the thought of what Skuld would do to him if she caught him sleeping with Belldandy.
Keichi: I guess we should get cleaned up then.
Belldandy: Alright.
Keiichi and Belldandy both got dressed and was waiting in the kitchen, when Urd and Skuld walked in.
There was an odd silence when they entered the room. Both Urd and Skuld had a sad expression on their face.
Keiichi: Hey you two. Welcome back!
Belldandy: How did everything go up in heaven?
Urd and Skuld didn't even glance at Keichi.
That's strange, Keiichi thought. Maybe they found out all the stuff that me and Bell did while they were gone. But, Urd should be happy that I finally made my move. If so, then why is she acting like that then?
Urd: Belldandy, we need to talk with you...now.
Belldandy: Why? What's the matter?
Skuld: We don't need to talk about it in here.
Belldandy: Then, I guess we could go to my room then.
Belldandy got up and was about to head to her room with her sisters, but Keiichi grabbed Belldandy's hand stopping her.
Keiichi: What's up? Anything wrong?
Belldandy: It's ok, I'm sure that it's nothing important. We will be back in a sec, ok?
A few minutes later:
I wonder what they are talking about? Keiichi thought to himself. He was still in the kitchen, waiting on them to return. I hope everything is alright.
Finally, they walked back into the room.
Keiichi got up and went strait to Belldandy, with a questioning look on his face.
Keiichi: Is everything alright Bell-chan?
Belldandy couldn't control her emotions and embraced Keiichi, crying into his chest.
Keiichi: Belldandy!? What's wrong? Tell me please!
Seconds later, Belldandy looked up at Keiichi. She kissed him on the cheek and then brought her mouth up to whisper into his ear.
Belldandy: (between sobs) I'm... sorry my love...but, I have to return to heaven.
Keiichi was struck cold, he step back from Belldandy, not wanting to believe what she had just said.
Keiichi: But, that can't be true. What about our contract? You have to stay. You can't leave me after all we been through!
Urd and Skuld both looked away, neither of them couldn't stand seeing Keiichi and Belldandy being torn apart from each other. Urd looked up at Skuld and motioned to her that they should leave them two alone, for now. They both walked out leaving Belldandy and Keiichi alone in the kitchen.
Belldandy took a step forward, her trembling blue eyes, pleaded with Keiichi for him not to make it any harder for her than what it already was.
Belldandy: Kei-kun, please. You must understand that it wasn't my decision. You know that I would never leave you. But I have to return to heaven.
Keiichi only stared at her, shock still present in his eyes. Keiichi finally broke down and embraced Belldandy in a passionate kiss. Belldandy gave into Keiichi's touch and closed her eyes, her tears falling to the floor.
After a moment, they broke and stayed together, in their tight embrace. Keiichi finally looked up at Belldandy and brought his hand to cup her chin, bringing her eyes up to his.
Keiichi: When do you have to leave?
Belldandy: In 30 minutes.
Keiichi: Then, I'll never let go of you, till the end.
Belldandy only nodded, and she placed her head on his shoulder hugging him. She still cried softly, knowing that soon she would never seen him again.
Keiichi hugged her back, never wanting to let go of his goddess and his love.
He thought, about his dream and wondered, why and how, it could have came true.
Keiichi: I'll never stop loving you, Bell-chan. You will always have a place in my heart, forever.
Belldandy: I love you too. I...just wish that it didn't have to end this way. I'm sorry for making you suffer like this.
Keiichi: No, don't be. My life has meaning now, since you've came here.
Keiichi looked at Belldandy, and smiled softly at her. She smiled back, though she was still hurting deeply inside her heart.
Keiichi: I promise you Bell-chan, that I'll never love anyone else but you, for the rest of my life.
Belldandy: Kei-kun...Thank-you for everything my love. I'll never forget you.
Belldandy looked at the clock and saw that thirty minutes had already gone by.
Belldandy: It's time for me to go, Kei-kun.
Keiichi: Bell-chan...
Belldandy stepped back from Keiichi. A bright blue light surrounded her. Her clothes changed back to what they were when they had first met; that one day.
Belldandy: It should be anytime now.
She hugged and kissed Keiichi one last time. She wished that time could stop itself and for them to stay like this forever, but she knew that it could never happen.
Keiichi: Will your sisters have to go too?
Belldandy: I'm afraid so my love. Sorry for everything.
Keiichi embraced Belldandy. He closed his eyes, wishing that the nightmare would end. Wishing that Belldandy could stay with him, forever, but he knew his dreams would never come true, and he would be alone again in his life.
Keiichi suddenly felt warmth, coming from Belldandy. He opened his eyes to see a pink light surrounding her.
Keiichi: No! Please, no. Not now! Don't leave me!
Belldandy cried out Keiichi's name as she rose in the air. She held onto his hand, until she was to high to reach him anymore.
Seconds later, she was gone. Keiichi collapsed to the floor. He laid there at the spot which Belldandy had just been. He cried Belldandy's name, but he knew that there was nothing he could do could bring his love and goddess back. She was gone forever.
