A\N: I do not own Ah! MY Goddess. This is the new format I hope this is
okay. I could have put this on already 2 weeks ago but alas school waits
for no one and is very unforgiving when it comes to projects.
The Road Home
They immediately grabbed Keiichi, Peorth, and some of Keiichi's things out the door and dropped them both painfully on the sidewalk. "Once you've found another place to live we'll send you the rest of your stuff!". Slamming the door behind them.
"That went perfectly well don't you think so." Peorth said, trying to cheer him up. Practically unaware on the predicament they where in.
"Yeah right." Keiichi answered with optimism, his mind in a total slump on what to do.
His fruastrations was abruptly checked by Peorth who some how regarded him with eyes filled with guilt and pity, and thought of what she had done to cause him so much grief. Slowly she approached him, and tried to comfort his troubled mind. She reached for his hand, genltly rubbed the back of his hand and rested her head on his shoulder. "I'm sorry Keiichi if cause you so much pain. Don't worry I'm sure we could find a place to stay, and besides at least you still have mee..eee
But before she could finish her sentence, Keiichi suddenly moved away from her a little, that almost made Peorth fall flat on the floor." Will you please stop that. Keiichi demanded, his cheeks tainted red with embarrassment.
"What do you mean stop doing that? I was only trying to comfort you, since you looked so sad. You ran away as if you were afraid of me."
But Keiichi didn't answer her, for one moment there was a silence between them, then Keiichi said slowly. "I'm sorry Peorth I didn't mean to be rude to you. I'm not really afraid of you, it's just that I had some problems in the past that's all."
"Problems? What kind of problems?" Peorth said, confused.
"Look enough about me for now and get back to the situation we are in right now. We're here in the middle of the street with no place to stay and no place to go and I have no idea on what to do." He said in disappointment, trying to avoid anymore questions about his past or his life.
"Don't worry Keiichi I'm sure we'll see this through, especially since the Ultimate Force is with us." Peorth reassured him.
"Ultimate Force? What do you mean by that." "You see, if it appears that the two of us will either be separated or in trouble, it starts working. And I'm sure the Ultimate Force we'll help us." Peorth answered reassuringly.
Keiichi slowly looked at her, unexpected hope flared in his eyes. "Do you honestly think so?"
"Yes, I know the Ultimate Force will never let us down. I'm sure of it." Peorth assured him.
Keiichi couldn't believe what he was hearing, here he was talking to a Goddess talking about some Ultimate Force that could some how save help them with all of their troubles. But with all the options he had what else those he have to lose. "Huh. I guess your write maybe we could pull this through. (Sigh) What do we have to lose." Keiichi said, his mind trying to calculate his options from zero to none. He started to stand up and approached her, lending out his hand. As his face looked away from her."Come on lets go, times wasting (Ehem) we have a long trek ahead of us before we could find a place to live in." Peorth just stared at him for a while. "We'll what are you waiting for lets go. You did say that you'd be by my side forever? Keiichi said jokingly.
"He's very interesting indeed." She thought.
To Keiichi's surprise she didn't take his hand instead she shot herself right to him. Clasping her hands to his neck, almost making him go out of balance and fall flat on the ground. "That's the spirit Keiichi!. She chimed. I'll get you through this I promise!"
Keiichi nudged her of him trying to contain Peorths excitement. I know your happy, but ca-can you please stop hugging me like that. I'm really not used...to those kinds of things yet." He's face blushed.
Peorth just giggled at his amusing reaction, some how finding it to be very interesting. "What's so funny?" Keiichi said, very agitated. "You know you're kinda cute when you get all embarrassed like that." Peorth replied toying him."
Keiichi walked into the garage to get his BMW with a sidecar grumbling to himself something about her being to easy going and being so flirtatiously naive. "Ok, ok enough with the wise cracks and let's go."
"Oh alright." Peorth responded still giggling to herself.
"You can sit in the sidecar" Keiichi said, directing her to it. But before she could climb in, Keiichi noticed that Peorth wasn't really casually dressed in both terms of standing out from the other human beings of the planet and in terms of being too erotically distracting. " Uh, Peorth could you do something about your clothes? You might draw out some attention with that." Keiichi requested.
"Oh really, I didn't realize that my clothes were distracting." Peorth said innocently, looking down her clothes.
"Really, why is that." He questioned, knowing he'll get a very weird answer.
"Well, I thought all women on this world wear clothes such as these. Don't they?" Questioning him back.
"Not exactly." His right hand covering his face. His smile a little unpleasant, but unnoticed by Peorth. "Funny, but I almost always saw women wearing such outfits on your worlds comic books. They even described such things on your world's books, sometimes even in your TV sets. Peorth said
"What in the world is this Goddess been doing in Heaven reading pornographic books and looking at pornographic comic books and films! What in blazes are the people really doing up there anyway? He thought in shock and amazement. Well the women on this planet don't, just...i-in some...types of occasions, but not always in public. And besides you shouldn't always believe on stuff you see or read on a book or in the TV. It's usually filled with propaganda and utter nonsense." He explained, as if trying to lecture her.
"Hmm, well if you say so, then I guess I could change into something different."
But Keiichi didn't hear her response, still busy on talking to himself, thinking on what to do with her clothes. "Man what to do, there's no store for miles selling clothes at this hour. But even if there were I don't have the money..." He was quickly halted by a strange kind of light glowing right near him. "Peorth what in the world...are..you ..Doing.
He gazed at her in amazement as Peorth's clothes instantly changed. She was now wearing one of those tight red women shirts or something (Ugh I just suck at this: (.) Maong pants and a pair of black leather boots.
She immediately gave him one of her poses. "So Keiichi will this do?"
"Wow that's beautiful. No! Wha-what I meant was what did you do. I mean how did you change so fast like that.
"Oh thats easy I just changed the matter of the dress in an atomic level, changing it into what ever I want." Peorth explained. "Well lets go, come on." taking Keiichi's hand and leading him into the motorbike.
"Don't say that like it's an easy thing." He murmured, as Peorth was tugging him along. "Ok, ok hold your horses I'm going, I'm going just let go of me."
So they got on to the bike and went on their way going to who knows where.
"Sorry but I really can't, till next time then." The man said and slamed the door hard, almost enough to have awakened the whole neighborhood.
"Huh. What an unfriendly guy he is. (Sigh)This is the tenth place we've been through and no one seemed to want us around." Keiichi said, leaning his back on a wall nearly giving up hope.
Peorth was almost about to cry noticing the trouble she was giving him. "I'm sorry...it's all my fault that you were kicked out of the dorms." Tears almost flooding her eyes. But Keiichi tried to assure her that everything was all right. "It's okay you don't have to cry I still got some leads I'm sure we could find a place to live in for a while."
As she heard his words she started to brighten up a little. "Really (Sniff)" She said in considerable surprise. "Yes really. Besides it was part of my fault to not have believed that you were a Goddess and made such a wish. So it means I have as much fault as you have. So you don't have to cry we're in this together Ok."
"Ok". Wiping of the tears off her eyes.
The two went down the staircase, half-disappointed but still filled with hope in finding a place to stay. As they descended down the stairs Keiichi noticed a near by vending machine and a bench on the next side of the street.
"Say Peorth lets rest for a while, I'm sure your exhausted with all this running around, why don't we have a drink while I think of some places we could go. There's a bench on the other side just sit and take a brake while I get the drinks." He offered, taking some money on his pocket.
"Uhm, Sure." She agreed, as she went and seated herself on a bench.
A minute later he carried two cans of hot coffee giving one to Peorth. "Here but be careful it's still a bit hot. " Peorth held it in both tips of the can. "Thank you" As she looked at Keiichi sitting at the other end of the bench far away from her. She looked at him opening his can, holding it carefully with his gloved hands. She wondered to herself as to what he was thinking of her.
"He's very strange, he reacts so differently from the other humans of this world. I wonder what he thinks of me? Is he afraid of me or maybe he thinks that I'm a Goddess that he won't come close to me. I could just read his mind but he might get angry with me. Ahh, I know!" Peorth thought, she cleared out her throat and tried to ask.
"Keiichi?" "Yes?" Thinking on what to say she thought of taking it slow. "So have you thought of a place to stay?."
"Well, there might be a few of my friends places we could go maybe they could help." Keichi answered letting out a sigh, taking another sip at the coffee.
"That's good." She said in a low voice. Peorth took one big swig at her coffee, taking a deep breath and said. "Keiichi why are you afraid of me?"
Keiichi immediately spat out his drink dropping hias drink on the ground. "Wha-what? I'm not afraid of you. Wha-what ga-gave you that idea. I already said that before I'm just...well.. uhm..." But Peorth cut him off. "Then why won't go near me." Every time she asked a question Peorth would come closer to him as Keiichi was running out of room on the bench.
"Well...th-thats...a-a-a... "Why do you grow cold when I even just slightly touch you and try to get away from me like a scared little rabbit." Can you tell me why? "We-well...yo-you se-e...
Keiichi was in a tight spot, he tried to slip away from her, but was trapped between the bench and by her. Her head bent closer to him, her lips curved devilishly. Keiichi tried to open his mouth to protest, but when he saw Peorth's amused gaze. It told him clearly that she was well aware of his scared discomfort. Keichi's lips tightened as he was presented with the unwanted memory of the slim arms that had wound themselves abot his neck and the warm body that had been pressed intimately close, remembering his awful past. Eating him up trying to destroy every bit sanity left of him.
Keiichi recalled his past of pain and horror triggered by Peorth's actions, begging to make them stop. "Stop it...stop it...no more...stop it..." Pleading beneath his breath, he tried to thrust the images away. But it only served to be a reminder filled darkness, filled with agony and pain. His cries were nothing but a mere whisper carried out by the wind barely heard by Peorth or any one else.
Peorth wasn't going to release him until he answers her questions. Knowing all to well that he was very frightened. But confident that she was not hurting him, thinking what she's doing is not wrong in a sense. Yes it was neither tormenting nor painful. But to Keiichi's mind there was enough pain and suffering to last a lifetime.
Peorth lay her right hand on his cheek caressing him teasing him until he answered her. "Please tell me why, I won't release you until you tell me. You know I could do this all night if I have to. To an ordinary man in this world this would be pleasing. But knowing you it's quite different. Her rose-red mouth curved and she ran a finger down the length of his jaw. Hmmm, tell me has a girl before ever kissed you? I wonder what it feels like to kiss someone." Peorth said in a seductive tone were only the two of them could hear. Her rose-tainted eyes preying on her pray.
"Stop it. Stop it! STOP IT!!! Keiichi screamed, moving his body left to right trying to escape.
Peorh was caught by surprised she didn't expect him to react like this. She expected him to be just fully embarrassed but not act so paranoid with fear. Peorth shook him up worriedly trying to get him back to reality. "Keiichi, Keiichi, Keiichi! What's wrong! Keiichi!..."
"St..op it. No...more. Stop...it. The nightmares slowly engulfing him as he fell unconscious, his whole body almost dropping dead.
Peorth gasped, shaking him more vigorously, her fingers biting into his arms. Tears slowly filling her eyes. "Keiichi! Hey Keiichi! Please wake up! Keiichi...please (Sniff) wake up. I-I-I didn't mean to hurt you. (Sniff) It...was..all just a joke. Keiichi. Keiichi! KEIICHI!!!
Giving up, She slowly rested Keiichi's head on her lap. Her left hand stroked his black hair gently. A tear fell down her cheeks down to Keiichi's clothed chest and hot, aching sobs tore from her throat. "What have I done? What am I gonna do? Where will we go? It's all my fault this happened, if I just left him alone all of this wouldn't had happened."
She thought and thought as she tried to figure out on what to do, until she remembered something. Something when Peorth and Belldandy were still children, talking about Bell's experiences when she descended from the heavens to planet Earth and met Keiichi for the first time. Flashback... The gardens of Heaven...
"He was the first and nicest person I have ever met. He's nice, honest and has a good heart. We had so much fun together. A small Belldandy said in admiration.
"Wow really? He must be a really great guy then. Oh how I wish I could have met him. A small Peorth said in amazement, sitted right next to Belldandy.
"Say tell me Bell where did you two first have met anyway. Please I want to know. Peorth said, and tugged on Belldandy's sleeves.
"Well we first met on this temple in Japan I think it was in... End of Flashback...
"The temple!"
