I know Peorth's crush on Urd is a little surprising for some, but, if
you've seen the movie, it shouldn't. Or if you saw the movie, maybe you
haven't noticed the way they talk softly on the phone or how Urd was so
relieved to hear from Peorth and so on and so forth... for the people who
only saw the anime and movie, UrdxPeorth probably makes more sense than
UrdxMara (Mara doesn't even exist in the anime ~.~)
Anyway, having seen both the manga and anime, I tried to write something that made sense, but if you think I'm totally out of it, then please pardon me, I'm doing my best T.T
BTW, Seravy, thanks for the idea, I'll probably add some flashbacks. = )
The bug Chapter 11
[Mara's PoV]
Peorth's actions bothered me alot and the fact that Skuld wouldn't tell us what happened didn't help. Bellandy was worried, it was written on face.
"You're worried, Bell?" Keiichi asked as if he read my mind. She nodded, still staring at Peorth, who was sitting on the bigest rock by the pond. "They always fight, it can't be that bad." He smiled, resting a hand on her shoulder. She turned to him, but she didn't smiled back. His grin dissapeared and I was getting worried.
"I don't know, Keiichi." She kept frowning. "I really sense that something's very wrong." She took hold of the hand resting on her shoulder. "Usualy, Peorth's never that angry and Skuld tells me what happened."
"And Urd is storming around, yelling and casting all sorts of thunder spells." I added. Keiichi sweat dropped, but Belldandy simply nodded.
He sighed. "You're right... maybe we should try and talk to them? Find out what happened?" he suggested.
"We'll do that." Belldandy agreed.
"I think you should talk with Skuld, since she doesn't like me or Mara. I'll try and calm Peorth bacause she seems to hate Mara too. And that leaves Urd." He looked at me.
"Geez, that sounded like some war plan." I answered.
They just smiled. Hell, what am I supposed to do now? Well first, head to Urd's room and see how she's doing...
****
I knoked softly on the door, afaird to disturb her.
"Go away." I heard her say from the depths of her room. I entered anyway.
She was lying in bed, staring at the ceiling. "Are you death? I said--" She stoped short as she saw me.
"Hi..." I said, my eyes resting on the ground. "I came to see how you were doing..." I mumbled. Hearing no response, I looked up at her.
"It's really you?" She just whispered, tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Don't cry..." I closed the door behind me.
"I was so worried..." Urd sniffed, trying to stop her tears. I advanced towards her and sat on her bed. I froze as she rested her head on my shoulder. "I thought... I thought I'd never see you again... " She sobbed, burying her head in my neck and hugging me.
I hugged her back, feeling the tears build up in my eyes as well. "I'm sorry." I whispered in her hair. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...." I kept repeating, holding back the tears.
After having stayed like this for what seemed like hours, I pulled back. "I came to check up on you." I observed her reaction.
"I'm well..." She looked at the floor, but I forced her to face me.
"What happened? What did Peorth do?" I asked, almost afraid of the answer.
Urd lied back down on her bed and pulled her blanket over her head. "Don't wanna talk about it." She grumbeled.
"Oh, please..." I sighed, poking through the blanket. "You can't stay like this forever, just tell me what happened."
Silence.
"No."
"Come on!!" I pulled the blanket to get her to look at me.
She sat up, and glared at me. "Look. I DON'T want to talk about it, ok? It's none of your buisness." And she was back under her blanket. "Just let me be." She ordered.
"What the fuck?" I mouthed. "Fine, then." I left her alone.
****
When I entered the living room, Keiichi and Belldandy were waiting for me.
"How did it go? You learned anything?" He asked curiously.
"No such luck." I sighed. "I take it you didn't learn anything either, heh?"
They both shook their head no.
"Damit!" I cursed under my breath. I had to know what happened, and if Urd wouldn't tell me, I would ask someone else. Peorth was out of the question, she's powerfull and I don't think I could make her talk easily. That left the kid.
Wordlessly, I left the room and headed to Skuld's room.
****
[Narrator's PoV]
Mara slammed the door open. "Hey, Kid!"
Skuld, who had been working meticulously on reparing one of her machines, jumped and turned to glare at her. "What do you want?"
"Nice room." Mara ignored the question as she looked around, checking up some inventions. "Do you have any that forces someone to dance?"
"Why would you want that?" Skuld frowned.
"No reason." She continued the inspection. "Do you have any to make ice cream?"
"This one." Skuld pointed proudly at a machine by her bed.
"Cool." Mara crouched beside it and pressed start. A bowl of ice cream apeared on the little plate. "Do you have one to cancel gravity?"
"That one." Skuld pointed to another one.
"Do you have one that..." Mara finished the ice cream. "teleports things?"
"There." She pointed the one she was repairing.
"that changes our mood?" Mara returned to the ice cream one for another bowl.
Skuld rolled her eyes. "That one."
"that detects evil energy?" She asked, her mouth full.
"Here." She pointed another machine as she returned to the one she was repairing.
"That forces someone to tell the truth?" Mara asked nonchalantly.
"That one." Skuld tossed her a weird headband.
"How do I use it?" She observed it closely.
"Put on the head, switch on, ask question." She answered roboticaly, not realising the mistake she'd just done.
Mara smiled evily.
"Hey! what are you doing?!?!!" Skuld cried, as the demon forced the thing on her head.
"Now tell me: what happened?" Mara held Skuld's head firmly so that she wouldn't take the metal headband off.
Skuld glared at her. "This morning I came to check on Urd and Peorth was lying in bed with her. Urd was asleep and Peorth was about to kiss her. On the *lips*." She shivered, blushing. "It was traumatising."
Mara's face paled. "What?"
"And then Urd woke up and asked what was happening and I told her and Peorth got angry and stormed out and--" Skuld stopped as Mara removed the headband.
"You wanted to know so badly?!" Skuld grumbeled, blushing.
Mara didn't answered. She slowly strutted to the door and exited wordlessly.
