The bug chapter 10
[Narrator's PoV]
Urd had fallen asleep at the same time Mara did. It was around 2:00 am now, and Keiichi and Belldandy had been gone for four hours. Peorth, who still held the other goddess in her arms, considered going back to her room. "It's probably not safe to leave alone. But I don't wanna sleep in the damned chair." She wined to no one in particular. The phone rang for the second time this night. Recluantly, Peorth let go of Urd in order to go answer the phone.
"Yeah, what??" She barked.
"Peorth?" Keiichi asked, surprised by the outburst.
"Do you have *any* idea what time it is?? You've been gone for hours! What am I supposed to do??? I need my beauty sleep, you know!!" She hissed, remembering the two goddesses that, hopefully, were still sleeping.
"Yeah, I know. We're sorry." He apologized sincerely.
"Where are you two? Don't tell me a love hotel or something 'cause you didn't choose the right time to--"
"Peorth!!" He blushed. "We're at Megumi's. And no she's not having a party." He added, knowing what the goddess was thinking. "Listen, she. she found Mara."
"What?" She didn't knew if she was angry or relieved.
"We cured her and she'll be alright. Is Urd ok?"
"Yeah." She sighed. "What happened? When are you coming back?"
"Well." He began "I don't know exactly what happened, you'll have to ask Bell. Now, the problem is. Mara is a little weak for us to move her right now, so we'll wait until tomorrow morning."
"And how is that a problem?" She asked.
"Well. we can't leave her like that with Megumi, what if she needs Belldandy's help?" He tried to explain.
"What? Go straight to the point!" Peorth growled, rubbing her temples. She was tiered and wanted to sleep.
"Belldandy fell asleep and we're staying here for the night." He blurted.
"Huh? You mean you're not coming back?" She nearly shouted.
"Err. no?" He whimpered, afraid of her reaction.
She sighed. "Ok, then. See you tomorrow."
"H-hey! Wait!" He stammered before she had time to hang up. "Aren't you angry or anything?"
She thought his question over. "No." She simply stated.
"No?" He repeated.
"Listen, I may be a little selfish, I know that. But you guys need help and I understand, ok?" She answered frankly.
"Oh." He looked down at his feet, ashamed of his previous reaction. "Take care of Urd, ok?" He mumbled.
"Sure thing." She whispered more to herself than to him.
"Good night, Peorth." He said.
"Sweet dreams, Keiichi." She replied quietly before hanging up.
Peorth strolled back to Urd's room and stopped before the bed. "What am I going to do with you?" She asked softly, running her hand through the silver hair. "Is it safe to leave you alone and go to my room?" She murmured again, caressing the other goddess' cheek. Urd mumbled something in her sleep and grasped Peorth's hand, holding onto it firmly.
'Great.' She thought, not knowing what she should do anymore. After a short deliberation, she was settled.
Peorth hopped in Urd's bed and cuddled the goddess close to her before falling asleep.

When Peorth woke up, little rays of light were passing through the curtains and she could hear the birds chirping in background. She couldn't hear Skuld nor Keiichi or Belldandy. 'Must still be early. They're not back yet..' She thought stuffing her head back in her pillow. 'Pillow.?' She thought half asleep, feeling the living and *breathing* form below her head and soon remembered that she had been sleeping with Urd.
She yelped and yanked away. Looking up at Urd, she saw that her friend was still asleep and relaxed, deposing her head next to the white haired goddess. 'Phew... I wouldn't have known what to say if she would've been awake...'
Peorth kept staring at the sight of beauty before her and sighed again, reaching up to gently caress the other goddess' lips. 'I wonder if....' She lifted herself to rest on her elbow and observed Urd some more. 'It won't hurt if no one knows....' She bent, bringing her face closer and closer to Urd's.
"Peorth?!?!" Skuld called from the door.
'Shit!' Peorth cursed inwardly, as her eyes widened. She sprang away from Urd and sat up.
"What in the world where you...?" She began, but something seemed to dawn on her. Skuld stared at Peorth incredulously as a blush crept to her cheeks.
"It's not what you think it is!!!" She immediatly began to wave her hands before her, trying to defend herself.
"What the hell are you two doing in here?" Urd asked sleepily, slowly sitting up. She then eyed Peorth. "Why are _you_ in my bed?" She frowned, still only half-awake.
But before Peorth had time to say anything.... "She tried to kiss you!!" Skuld blurted pointing an accusing finger at the brown haired goddess.
"Shut up, Skuld!" Peorth growled.
It took several seconds for Urd to completely wake up and understand what was happening. She turned to Peorth, a blank expression masking her real thoughts. "Tell me, Peorth.... is it true?"
Skuld was still blushing but watching the scene with interrest.
Peorth gulped. A first class goddess can't lie. "Damit." She mumbeled as she got up and ran out, leaving the two sisters to their confusion.
****
"Damit, damit, damit." She kept cursing under her breath as she exited the temple.
Getting out, she ran into the last person she wanted to see. "Hey! watch it!" Mara grumbled, holding onto Keiichi's arm in order to keep her balance.
Peorth shot her a venomous glare that left them all perplex before continuing her way.
Belldandy frowned worriedly.
"What's with her?" Keiichi asked himself aloud.
"She's angry with Urd." Skuld seemed to apear out of nowhere. "Or with me... I don't quite understand." She scratched her head.
"What did you do?" He sighed, expecting the worst.
"It wasn't me or Urd, it was her." Skuld answered defensively.
"What did she do?" Mara asked, curious.
Everyone waited expectantly for her to answer. But she just stuck out her tongue at them. "Not telling." She said, heading back to her room casualy.
