A/N: I only have one word to say as to why it takes so long to update
"School"
Home Sweet Temple Home
Peorth immediately looked into Keiichi's pockets and searched for the ignition key for the motorbike. "Where is it? Where is it? Aha got it. Don't worry Keiichi it's my fault that I got you through this and I'll get you out of it I swear.
Slowly she levitated Keiichi's unconscious body off the bench, and put him on the sidecar. She put the key on the ignition switch, as it suddenly sprung to life. She sat on the driver's seat and used her magic to drive the vehicle to the temple.
Thirty minutes had passed before she neared to her destination "Lets see I turn right here then make a left at the first corner..."
A drop of water suddenly fell on her nose, looking up she noticed more drops were pouring from the dark clouded sky, it was starting to rain hard.
"Darn it, it's starting to rain I guess I'll have to speed it up a few notches or Keiichi will get soaked wet." She worried, water beginning to trickle down her eyes.
A few minutes later they had arrived on the temple grounds. She quickly carried Keiichi with her magic including the suitcase that was given to them before they left. Running to the door soaking wet from the unforgiving rain. She immediately laid him to rest on the cold wooden floor.
"Hello is anybody here! Hello, please answer me! We need some help!" But only the rumbling of the thunder and the falling rain of the stormy night answered her plea.
"Oh no he's all wet" As she observed his wet forsaken body. She touched Keiichi's forehead with her right hand wiping of the wet hair. She suddenly withdrew her hand as she felt Keiichi's temperature. "Huuuh, no he has a fever. Dammit!" Her hands slamming into the wet floor.
"This is all my fault. This wouldn't have (Sniff)...happened if it weren't for me (Sniff). She said in complete shameful tears not noticing it earlier.
Never before had Peorth been so helpless in her entire lifetime. Even when she heals his fever the damage was already done. He would never forgive her not after what happened. She wouldn't be surprised if he would run away from her completely then try to cancel their contract that bonded them. To her it was entirely hopeless.
Working quickly, she waved her hand all through Keiichi's body, as her magic went through his body, healing his illness and drying her and Keiichi's clothes. Checking his temperature again his fever faded away as it had came and his temperature went back into a normal state.
"I'm sorry Keiichi. I'm so (Sniff) sorry. I promise if you ever forgive me for what I've done to you. I'll do everything I can do to make you happy. I promise...
She wrapped Keiichi with a yellow blanket from his suitcase so not to catch his illness again. As she lay her head on his chest to keep him warm. "I promise." Does were her final words, as she slept on Keiichi's chest.
It was 5:30 in the morning, the rain has stopped and a new day was about to begin. Peorth slowly opened her eyes looking back first at Keiichi, she got up and walked outside the door. Observing the palace grounds inside and out. The temple was an abandoned wreck. Shards of glass, wood, paint and leaves scattered all over the temple grounds. The roof of the temple was filled with holes. Roof tiles either misplaced or missing. The garden needs a lot of trimming, the walls were entangled with green vines and moss.
She turned back gazing at the temple looking at it both with awe and disappointment. "So this is were Bell and Keiichi first met. Hmmm, It's not as great as what Bell told me when we were still kids, probably because no one actually lives here anymore to take care of it. But maybe its soul still lingers through these shallow walls."
She walked toward the temple, slightly placing a hand on the wooden post that held on to what was left of the torn rooftop and closed her eyes probing deep into the depth's of its soul. Sensing if its spirit still existed through the years it has been abandoned.
Slowly Peorth opened her eyes from her trance, permitting herself a half smile. "Don't worry Keiichi even if you don't find it in your heart to forgive me at least let me give you a new home to stay."
A red aura of light suddenly surrounded the temple, restoring it to its natural form. As the red light that surrounded the temple faded the temple and all of its surroundings were back as they were before so many years ago. "So you do still remember." Peorth said to the temple.
It was 7:00 in the morning. As a new day bright day arisen from the darkness of the night. The clear blue sky. Birds flying high into the new day ahead. Peorth sat on a rock awaiting Keiichi's awakening from his sleep wondered to herself if he will ever forgive her for acting so foolish.
Back inside the temple Keiichi was slowly starting to stir from his sweet slumber. He started to open his eyes, rubbing his eyes with his hands . "(Yawn) Wh-what happened?" He said sleepily. "Man I had a weird dream last night I dreamed that I accidentally called a Goddess on a telephone. Then I wished her to by my side forever. Ha HA HA man that was some dream...What the?" He noticed that he wasn't in his room anymore. He observed the wooden room from top to bottom. To his surprise he was neither in his room or any part of the dorm for that matter.
"Where am I? This isn't my room. (Gasped) Oh no it couldn't be. Ok ok don't panic first lets recall the dream I had. I wished for a Goddess then Tamiya and the others suddenly banged at the door and kicked us out. So we went to dorm to find a place to live...then- then... strange that's all I could remember. Then that means it wasn't a dream at all. Peorth must have brought me here some how. But I didn't remember going in here at all." His mind already filling up with questions.
He threw away the blanket on the floor and searched for Peorth, hoping to get some answers. Opening the sliding door he couldn't believe it with his own eyes. "What the! It's-its temple. Hey wait I know this place I went in here as a kid but this was abandoned years ago how come its looks so new. Maybe Peorth knows. Peorth! Peorth where are you?! Peorth! Keiichi shouted out loud as she looked for her, wondering where she was.
Suddenly Peorth's whole body froze at the first sound of her name being called out. "Oh, no he's awake already." Her whole mind was filled with dread. Not wanting to see him, not wanting to hear his anger. But she knew in her heart that it was completely understandable if he did. She had no choice but to take his words seriously. Then wait for the punishments that would await back in heaven.
She could already hear his voice getting louder and louder with every call. Calming herself down she tried to prepare herself for the worst.
"Peorth! Peorth!" Finally he saw her standing in front of him. But Peorth didn't move, as the gentle breeze of the east wind blew on her hair. "Peorth there you are, I've been looking all over for you. Peorth? Is something wrong." Keiichi said, noticing something wrong within her eyes.
Peorth didn't answer him, her hands clenched in a ball shaking nervously not knowing on what to do by the perplexity of it all. Peorth looked steadily in to his face. The rose-tainted eyes meeting his were narrowed at first, then softened into crying sobs of tears.
"Peorth why are you crying? Peorth...?" Keiichi uttered worriedly, taking a few hesitant steps towards her. Suddenly without warning Peorth dove to his shoulders, tears streaming down her cheeks and hot aching sobs tore from her throat, staining Keiichi's shirt.
It took some time until Peorth finally spoke. "I'm so sorry Keiichi (Sniff)... I..I didn't mean to hurt you like-like this. I-I-I just... didn't know...that-that...." She said desperately, unable to suppress her choking sobs any longer.
"Wh-what are you talking about?" He said in panic, trying to push her away from him.
The first thing that ran through Keiichi's instincts was let go. But as his eyes looked into Peorths sad, confused mind his heart strikingly said no. Trying to calm himself he took a deep breath, and slowly with slight shaking hesitation stroked her jet-black hair.
Peorth looked up, and saw Keiichi stroking her hair as if to sooth her with compassion. She didn't expect him to react like this. His eyes were neither filled with fear, hate nor anger. But of someone who really cared for someone in need.
Keiichi wiped away the tears on her eyes with his index finger trying to keep his composure and not to do anything that might upset her. (In other words leave without warning.)
His delicate eyes still fixed on Peorth's. "Normally I wo-wouldn't do this with any oth..er woman s-so could tell me what's going on." He said softly, forcing out a smile.
Peorth was startled she didn't sense any hate nor anger at all. Somehow he was different very much different. With all her might Peorth replied. "Wha-what do you mean? Don't you remember?"
"Remember what? Why, did something happen to us? "Keiichi asked quizzically. "All I can remember were us getting ourselves kicked out of the dorm and trying to find a place to stay."
"What? So you didn't remember anything after that?" Peorth hoped.
Keiichi shook his. "No."
As she saw Keiichi shook his head it finally made sense to her. "Keiichi didn't remember anything at all. That means he doesn't hate me. It must have been caused by total fear he was experiencing. Oh thank you God. Thank you." She thought with joy, as a gleam of hope shined upon her.
"Aahhh, Peorth what did happen to us anyway?" Keiichi asked curiously
Some how the gleam of hope turned into a cold disaster "What! Um well it-its a-a-a quite a long story really. I mean its nothing really. It-its just a waste of time and-and..."
"I have time. Heck for a matter of fact I have a lot of time if you ask me."
Immediately Peorth's world came crashing down on her hard. She had to think of a way to out of her jam "Oh no, what in the world do I do now. If I said the whole truth to him now he might have a relapse and remember everything that happened last night. This is not good; I can't tell a lie if I do I'll be punished by heaven itself. Ok think-think. What to do. What to do. I've got it! I don't have to tell the whole truth, just half of it. That way I don't have to get punished and Keiichi won't remember a thing."
"Well?" Keiichi said, his patience wearing thin by the minute.
"Well you see you kinda fainted and-and then it rained so I went into this temple. Then I discovered that you had broken down with a very high fever. The-then I healed and the rest is history the end." Peorth said, quickly as possible.
"What! That really happened?" Keiichi said, still unsure of the circumstances.
"Ye-yes really." Looking away from his gaze.
"That's strange I never fainted before not even when I got a fever. Weak maybe but never fainted."
"We-well maybe it was because of too much stress."
"What!?"
"That's right stress, you know looking for a new home but always get rejected. Isn't that very stressful? I read from one of your world's books that too much stress can cause a human such as yourself to faint. And combine that with a very high fever wouldn't that be sufficient enough of a reason to say why you fainted." Giving him that sweet, calm and innocent voice that would make any man to fall for.
"Well, it was very frustrating at first. Hmmm, I guess your right.
"Of course I'm right. I am a Goddess you know." Saying it like she was the Almighty one which in a sense she wasn't.
"Then why on Earth were you crying when you knew that you could have just have revived me instantly in the first place."
"Doesn't this guy ever get satisfied." She thought with frustration.
"Well its because we're so sensitive about things." Talking again with her sweet voice.
"Sensitive?"
"Yeah, we goddesses cry on a lot of things like-like um a trees dying or-or an animal in peril."
"Actually some of us do in a way. Then again does are just on the early child hold phase of our life." She thought.
"Are you sure? You don't seem so sad to me."
"We adapt quickly. Now please stop asking any more questions its giving me a migraine already." She said wearily, placing a hand against her forehead as if having a splitting headache was about to brew.
"I'm sorry maybe...
"No it's o.k. I just need some rest that's all.
"Yeah, sure... Ehm" Pointing his finger on Peorths enclosed hands. "I know you want to rest but I think its much more better on a warm comfy futon bed than my chest if you don't mind.
"He he sorry." Giving him one last squeeze and then broke away. Don't worry I'll be fine.
"(Sigh) that was close. Thank the stars he didn't remember.
Giving a long sigh of relief he looked into the clear blue sky as a soft breeze brushed on his face. Wondering on what this encounter will take him.
"Huh, I wonder?"
A/N: So ends the fourth chapter actually all of 1-4 chapters were suppose to be one big chapter but because of the lack of time it turned to to this . Here's a preview to next chapter
A Goddess Trying to be Helpful
"Stop it! Stop it!! STOP IT!!!
As Peorth lay on a futon bed were Keiichi slept, her hands folded under her head. Her eyes staring blindly on the wooden ceiling. She wondered when those two shocking words would stop haunting her.
"No more...please stop..."
She tried to forbid them from invading her consciousness, blocking them out along with the events that had occurred that horrible day but she couldn't. Usually if she were up in heaven she would use her spare time sitting on her floating chair and read through hundreds or even thousands of books filled with nothing more but information about mankind's, world, history, but most especially stories of human romance and love. Trying to fill that big gap of curiosity in her mind. But today on this New World she would now live in it was a different curiosity all together it was haunting her. They seemed to play over and over again, as if an old phonograph needle was rutted in a deep groove.
"Stop it!"
"Why? Why did he react that way to me? I read and read and read all about human nature and their actions, I practically thought I knew more about humans more than anyone else did. And yet...this happens these reactions he has given me are not from any book I have ever read before. Something must be wrong there must be or maybe... maybe my knowledge of humankind isn't enough that must be it. I must research about this more thoroughly and once I do. I swear to make up all the things that had happened today, I promise. She told herself as she heard Keiichi open the sliding door and came in. Whatever was going to be their destiny had already begun.
