The bug ch.17
[Narrator's PoV]
Urd was taken aback by the question and she didn't knew how to answer. For years she had tried to hide the true reason and had hoped that she would never have to explain, but now... now she couldn't run anymore. She had to tell Mara what happened. "Do you remember the pact we made when we were still children?"
"What does it have to do with your choice?" The demon asked.
The goddess took a deep breath. "That pact, even if it wasn't complete with the ritual and all, it made us doublets."
Mara paled. "What? How do you know...? How can you be sure?"
Urd looked at her feets. "A few years after that night, Mother learned about it. She said that because we were being completely honest when we made that pact, it was heard and accepted by the systems." She bit her lips before continuing. "That's when she started to really hate you."
"What's the link?" Mara didn't understood.
Urd glared at the ground. "Because then, if she couldn't get me to break the pact by hating you and since doublets are forced to be a demon and a goddess....." She glanced at Mara. "Even if you were a devil, you had a body... therefore, you had demon blood. So the system considered you a demon and because of my blood... I was officially a goddess." Urd started playing with her hair. "Mother didn't succeeded in making me hate you. The pact had to be respected..."
Everything made sense, now. Mara realised that the only reason Hild ordered to keep her alive even before deciding to allow her to be a demon, was because she knew that killing her meant killing Urd too. Then, something else dawned on her... "You mean you were forced into this role... because of me?" The blond haired woman felt her body tremble with rage. "You couldn't choose because of _me_?"
"That's why I didn't wanted to tell you..." Urd whispered. "I knew you'd feel responsible."
"But it was *my* fault!!" Mara insisted. "You should've listened to the Queen and broke the pact!!"
"By hating you?" Urd frowned sadly as she observed her friend. "I would've never been able to do that..."
"Why? I mean it's not hard, look at me!" She cried before resting her eyes on the floor. "I'm a monster..." She added quietly.
The goddess grabbed Mara's arm firmly, anger building in her. "Don't you dare say that."
"But it true..." The demon still wouldn't look at the woman in front of her.
"I don't care." Urd's voice was strong but softened quickly. "Anyway, these are not things you can control... hate... love..." She whispered her last word. "Look at me, Mara."
Recluantly, the demon looked up at her friend
"I couldn't bring myself to hate you, because... I didn't realised it back then but I....." She kept her eyes locked with the red ones before her as the world seemed to hold its breath. "I loved you." She confessed. ".... And I still do."
"W....what?" Mara wasn't sure she had heard right.
"I love you." The goddess repeated, cautiously releasing the grip she had kept until now on the demon's arm. She stayed still, waiting for Mara's answer.
When she had finaly registerd the information, Mara slowly stepped toward Urd and gently embraced her. She rested her head on her shoulder and tightened the hug. "You don't know how I longed to hear that." She whispered softly. "....I love you." She added quietly when she felt Urd return the hug. They stayed frozen in this moment, afraid to move to wake up and find it was only another dream.
Mara de-froze first and suddenly pulled back, leaning in a soft kiss. Urd's eyes went wide and her body stiffened, not really prepared for that. But she quickly relaxed and responded to the kiss, slowly moving her arms around Mara's neck, running her fingers on the soft white skin.
They pulled away and smiled at each other, both of them blushing. Urd took hold of Mara's hand and led her to the bed, her shy smile switching to a devious grin. "Guess what I'm thinking." She let herself fall on the bed, bringing the other woman down with her. The goddess was now lying on top of the demon, kissing her fiercely. Her hands snakely made their way under Mara's shirt and she began massaging her breasts.
"Hentai." She whispered chuckling, letting Urd grope her all she wanted.
"And proud of it." She laughed too as her mouth began working down Mara's neck.
Footsteps could be heard coming up the hall but both were too much occupied to pay attention.
Skuld slamed the door open the way she usually does. "Urd do you wanna watch--ohkamisamawhat'shappeninghere?"
Urd sprang up, as did Mara once the goddess was off her. "It's not what it looks like?" she tried.
"Yeah right..." Skuld sighed blushing. "What's so attractive about you anyway?"
Mara raised her hand, ready to make the list. "Well, first--"
"Please don't." The young goddess sighed again, cutting her off. "Anyway, we were wondering if you wanted to watch the movie with us."
"We'll pass." Urd smiled.
"Let me guess why." Skuld rolled her eyes. "I'll go, then." She exited
"Hey, nibblet, wait!" Mara stopped her. "Usually you're not that understanding when it comes to those kind of situation. What's happening?"
Skuld turned around and wrinkeled her nose. "Well, I don't care about Urd and what she does."
It was Urd's turn to roll her eyes. "Seriously."
Skuld unsuccessfully tried to glare. "Alright then." The girl scratched her head. "First, with the last events, I'm begining to get used by now. I mean with Peorth and all, I'm not surprised anymore." She shruggered. "The other thing, you two, it's not like Keiichi and Belldandy.... as far as I know, Mara, you can't get her pregneant. So I won't mind."
The demon nearly chocked. "Geez, kid...."
Urd chuckled. "But it's true." She eyed Skuld, still smiling. "You've matured alot, recently."
"Yeah, yeah." Skuld closed the door and headed back to the living room.
****
"So, are they coming or not?" Keiichi asked.
Skuld sat on the couch. "They weren't finished... talking."
"What were they talking about?" Belldandy entered, a bowl of popcorn in hand.
"Err... I don't know... old stuff... probably." She brushed it off.
Peorth chuckled as she was floating around the room (to make a change). She bumped into Megumi, who had been instaling the vcr in order to watch the movie. Megumi stoped and stared at Peorth. Peorth looked back at Megumi.
"It's not polite to stare." The goddess said, resuming her useless floating.
Megumi shook her head. "I think I'll never get used to that." She sighed to herself, putting the video in the vcr.
"To what?" Keiichi frowned, having heard his sister..
"Flying woman." Megumi pointed to Peorth before slumping down next to Skuld.
"Surprisingly, it doesn't take much time." He smiled. "In a few days, you'll find that completely normal." He grinned and switched the tv on.
