Sorry, but I didn't feel like writting very much, so huh... the chapter 2
is a little short... Anyway, this one is making up for it.
The bug chapter 3
_____________________________
I woke up at the sound of the door slamming open, witch was immediately followed by a gasp. All I could think was "tired...sleep..mmmh" then "I am.was asleep with Urd in my arms. Someone just found that out... " Then, ".Oh Hell."
I turned around so I could look at the intruder, who was no other than Skuld (as a matter of fact). I quickly got up, accidentally waking Urd in the process. Forgetting I was still weak, I tried to stand up and explain myself in the process, but my body wouldn't respond to the too quick command my mind gave and I fell on the ground in a loud thud. In a few seconds, Belldandy and Keiichi were in the room, wondering what happened. Skuld was frozen solid, so I turned my head back to see what Urd had to say. She just stared at me, then at her youngest sister, then at the two others. And then:
"Urd! You're finally awake!" Belldandy chocked, tears in her eyes, throwing her arms around her sister.
Keiichi just smiled and sighted and Skuld was still in shock, looking at me.
"Sorry I worried all of you." Urd simply answered, strocking Belldandy's hair as she tried to soothe her sobbing sister.
"I wasn't worried!" Skuld said (or yelled) snapping back to reality.
"Liar." I mumbeled under my breath, deciding it was time to get up now that my body seemed to respond properly. It was oddly hard, but I made it.
The small girl turned back at me, pointing an accusing finger and said:
"And what were YOU doing in my sister's bed!?!??"
That got Keiichi's attention. Everyone stared at me and it seemed like all the words were caught in my throat.
"I told her to stay."
Everyone turned back at Urd, in complete shock.
"I wanted her to stay with me last night." She simply repeated.
"I asked her to get in my bed and to stay all night" She said again, as everyone just didn't seem to understand what she was saying. I blushed at the way her words sounded.
Keiichi got a nosebleed.
"It's not what you think!!!" I cried, redening further more.
"Urd, you seem so much better!" Belldandy said changing the subject.
"Yeah, what happened to the bug?" Keiichi asked desperately trying to stop his nosebleed and his naughty thoughts.
"I don't know, I don't feel it in me anymore." Urd thought aloud, she began feeling her stomach as if she would feel the bug move inside her.
Then, something caught my attention and I crossed my arms over my belly as a deep, low and unnatural growl escaped from it, a sound resembling the last cry of a dying fiend. I fell to my knees as a sudden and overpowering ache appeared in my stomach.
My eyes widened as I understood what was happening. "It's in me." I whispered, not believing it myself.
"WHAT!??!"
____________________________________
"So?" Keiichi asked for what must've been the twentieth time in five minutes.
"The scanner confirms the presence of a weak bug in her body." Skuld answered.
"It seems to be dying..." Belldandy added.
"How weird..." Urd commented.
'What am I? a lab experiment?' I thought since everybody was staring at me like if I was Dracula in a father Christmas suit.
"I'm gonna call the Yggdragsil system. I need to know what happened." Belldandy decided.
_____________________________
"So?" Keiichi asked (again) after Belldandy finished the call.
"It seems that if the contemned one is in physical contact with any other living creature for three hours straight or more, the bug can transfer itself to the other body - witch, in that case was you, Mara - and try to kill it. Because you're a demon, it's doesn't have what it takes to attack your kind of cells and, not being able to feed itself, the bug is effectively dying." She explained.
"Wow." Was all Urd could say.
"But.... why were you suffering in the first place? You didn't even had it before... " Skuld questioned.
That made every one in the room fall silent.
"Mara, you have to stay here until we find what's happening exactly. I've-"
"Huh?! Do I have to?" Belldandy was cut off by my protestations. It's funny how I sounded like a child whining....
"Yes, you do." She gave me a stern look. "I've talked to Peorth too and she's coming to help solve the problems. She said 'the more we are the better it is.' And I think she's right." She finished her earlier explanations.
"But we don't have two spare rooms!!! If Peorth comes, she will never accept to share a room !" Keiichi protested.
"It's OK. Mara can sleep with m.... in my room." Urd said almost casually.
I knew Skuld didn't liked the idea just by the way she looked at me. "I object! She's gonna try turning Urd into a demon again!" She said, still glaring at me. She will deny it all eternity, but every one knew that Skuld cared deeply for her oldest sister.
"She's not that bad." Said a voice coming from the door.
"Peorth?!"
"Long time no see, kid."
"I'm NOT a KID!!!!!!"
"Whatever..." She waved her hand as if it would blow away Skuld's anger. "As I was saying, she can't be that bad. The proof is right here." She pointed a figer at me.
"What does that prove?" Skuld asked septicaly.
"Well, she's sitting right here, listing, as if she was one of us, without trying to attack or harm any of us." Peorth grinned. "No, seriously, demons are not friend with goddesses, and if she really was pure evil, as demons should be, she wouldn't have cared for Urd's life. That is first. Second, the bug transferred itself. It wouldn't have done it if it would've sensed a dangerous host, some that would kill it easily. Like all living and *sane* being it's not gonna attack something, or in that case, someone that it knows is stronger than it." Peorth explained. "Now, the question is : why did it willingly abandoned Urd and transfered to a host even more dangerous for it?"
"That's why we have to study the case." Belldandy added.
"You're not a real demon?" Keiichi finally managed to ask after all the information reached his human brain.
"Yes, I am!" I cried, but on second thought .... " ... Well at least.... I think I am..." I wasn't sure anymore.
An uncomfortable silence took over the group and I was fidgeting nervously in place when Urd broke the tension. "Well I'm glad she is... whatever she is. What's important is that none of us is not suffering from the stupid bug." She got up. "_Now_ I can spend time with a friend I was only authorised to fight until a few hours ago. *And*Come Mara, we'll prepare your bed."She said, making her way to the door.
With that, I followed her to her room, leaving all the others to their thoughts.
---------------------------------------
"I would've preferred you to sleep in my bed again, but I don't want to catch the bug again..." Urd said as she finished to instal the bed.
"I understand." I answered, nodding. "... Why are you starring at me like... that?"
"Huh? Like what? I... wasn't staring at you, I was just thinking and it happened that you were standing right there, in front of me, and it happens that I look in front of me when I think... and I wasn't staring at you!!! " She babbeled. I could've swore I saw her blushing, even if it was getting really dark.
I raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, right..." I whispered under my breath, a little disappointed.
"Are you thirsty? I can go get us some sake !" Urd proposed suddenly.
"Sure! why not?" With that, she quickly got up and got (ran) out of the room. 'What's wrong with her anyway?'
