The bug, chapter 19
A tall, gray haired woman quickly strolled down the corridor towards the biggest room of the castle. She enterend and knelt before her queen.
"Majesty, we just received an call." She said, not daring to look up at the most feared woman of the universe.
"I that so?" Hild asked lazily. "What would be so urgent you'd barge in the room without knocking?"
The woman shivered. "Mara sent a distress call. Four days ago."
"What??" Hild snapped. "And you tell me that now!!??" She growled, getting up and standing in front of the demon bowing before her.
"We received it only a few minutes ago. It said that she requested an emergency return back here." The woman whimpered.
"Why?" Hild asked, fear slightly audible in her voice. "Why would she request that?"
"From the life status we received, she was poisoned with the Death's Bite. An eater of the Kuroguma." The short haired woman answered quietly.
Hild stayed silent.
"We couldn't find her, the poison prevents us to do so." She finaly looked up at her master.
Hild was pale. Very pale. "And.... when will she die?" She tried to keep her calm.
"With the critical infection she suffered, she... she's supposed to have died yesterday." She watched as horror gradualy took over her queen's usual mask of indiference.
"It can't be." She decided, running a hand through her silver/white hair. "I would've known if Urd had died."
"What do you mean?" The woman asked, not sure why Hild was talking about her daughter.
"Issa." Hild looked over at the woman. "You never heard what I said." She glared a death glare at her. "Now go and get my crystal ball."
"Yes, your majesty." Issa got up and quickly exited. She was back a few minutes later.
Hild sat back on her throne and concentrated her energy on the ball. The morisato residence apeared in it. Hild mentaly scaned the place. "That's weird." She frowned worridly.
"Is something wrong, my Queen?" Issa asked quietly.
"Yes." Hild answered absently. "There's no one there."
"No one?" The purple eyed girl repeated.
"Not a single drop of energy. As if they had all vanished." She continued to stare at the transparent ball.
"May I suggest a sheild, majesty?" Issa offered.
"No, no shield could hide something from me." Hild though this over. "Unless...." Her eyes widened. "Call the heaven, ask if goddess first class, second category, unlimited liscence, Peorth is on earth."
"Yes." Issa left her Queen to her thoughts once again only to come bak a few seconds later. "You are right, your highness. She's at the Morisato residence."
"Damn them." Hild growled.
"May I ask why was that information important, majesty?"
The tall silver haired woman sighed. "Past, Present, Future and Eternity. Fire, Wind, Water and Earth. Uruz, Bern, Sauìl and Perthra**. Do you know what these are?"
"Yes, my queen. The time, the elements and the runes. What about them?"
"They are the three most powerful circles you can imagine. United together, like this, the strongest magical circle ever is formed. Those four goddesses together, at full power, they generate, willingly or not, a holy protection cirlcle that no demon can break through." She smiled bitterly. "Not even me."
"But the Tenshikui could enter their field...."
"It was inside Rind. A holy creature opened its path.... And Mara and I entered only when Urd, Peorth and Belldandy were ko."
Issa desperately tried to find something to cheer up her misstress when it hit her. "Well, since the circle exists, at least you know your daughter is alright."
Hild stared blankly at her servant. Realisation dawned upon her. She beamed, drawing the demon next to her in a fierce hug. "Thank you, Issa!!"
"Majesty, I can't breath." She squeaked.
Hild released her, smiling a real smile. Not the usual smirk that sent shivers down your spine, but the one of a caring mother. Issa was scared. "Are you alright?" She asked her queen carefuly.
"I feel relieved." Hild sighed contently. "I think I'll pay them a visit."
"Can you?" The younger demon question, alway hesitant with her misstress.
"What do you mean can I?" Hild scoffed. "I can do what I want!"
"That's not what I meant, your highness."Issa quickly stated. "Will you be able to break through their circle?"
Hild stayed silent. She stared blankly at Issa once again. "Damn them!!!!" she gritted her theet.
"Couldn't you counter them with the same circle, produced by demons?" The young demon asked.
"I'd need Mara and Velsper." Hild growled. "Fine then. I'll wait." She returned to her crystal ball, observing attentively for anything that could be of use to hert.

Peorth yawned as she woke up. 'Tiered...' She though, resting her head back where it was. 'Maybe I shouldn't have fought Mara. Now I'm soooo tiered....' She tried to drift back to sleep but noticed something. 'Smells like Keiichi..... Why is my head on his shoulder?' She was too tiered to complain. 'Oh well...' She moved her arms to hug him and rested a hand on his chest. Her eyes widened.
"Watch your hands, Flying Wowan." Megumi warned.
"Wha-???" Peorth's head shot up. "I-I-I'm sorry." She stamered very uncharacteristicly.
"I didn't minded when you fell asleep on my shoulder but geez, don't push it." She whispered, trying not to disturb the trio who was now watching 'X- men', since Casper had finished long ago and they had nothing else to do but tv zapping.
"I'm sorry." Peorth repeated, folding her arms and leaning back in the couch. "...I was comforable." She mumbeled to herself.
Megumi glanced at Peorth. "What was that?"
"Nothing important." The goddess grumbeled. "What time is it anyway?" she yawned again.
Megumi looked at her watch. "Three pm." She sighed shaking her head. "Keiichi, maybe we should--" She stopped short as she saw that Keiichi and Belldandy were both asleep. She turned to Skuld. "Since when were they out?"
"Two hours ago or something like that." She said, captivated by the huge attack Storm was directing towards Magneto. "It's crazy how that woman looks like Urd." She commented.
"Indeed." Peorth added.
"Not that I like to be the party pooper, but it's kinda late." Megumi stated. With that, she gently shook her brother's shoulder. "Hey K, you should go sleep in your bed."
"Huh, what?" He and Belldandy slowly woke up.
"It's three o'clock, K. I'm going home." She yawned.
"No, you're not." Belldandy sleepily said. "It's too late, you should sleep over."
"Well I don't wanna be a burden, you know..." She scratched the back of her head in a Keiichi-like fashion.
"A burden? Are you kidding us?" He smiled. "I'd be glad if you stayed."
Megumi considered it for an instant. "Alright then." She smiled her usual cat smile
"Good." Keiichi stood up and began making his way to his room.
"Where am I going to sleep?" She asked.
"Huh...." Keiichi looked at his fiancé. "Yes, where?"
"My room is filled with machines. No room for a futon." Skuld folded her arms.
"What about your room, K?" Megumi asked. "You're my brother, after all."
Keiichi nervously began scratching the back of his head, the same way Megumi did earlier. "Well huh.... you see... er...."
"What?"
"Bell and I sleep in the same room now." He sighed.
"NO??!?!" Megumi beamed. "Really, really, really???" Keiichi hung his head. "Haha!!! I would've never guessed!!" She rested a hand on his shoulder. "Ok, bro, I understand your point." She grinned mishevously.
"What point?" Skuld asked sucpiciously. Belldandy smiled sheepishly, blushing. Skuld was clueless and didn't liked it. "Tell me what's happening here." She narowed her eyes.
"It's late Skuld. You should sleep." Peorth simply said.
"Hey, Megumi and I were the only one who didn't fall asleep!" Skuld huffed, offended. "I'm not a kid anymore."
"Yeah, Yeah, we know. Now good night, sweet dreams." Peorth waved her hand nonchalantly. Skuld stuck out her tongue at her and stormed off.
"I'm tiered too. Good night." Keiichi grabed Belldandy's hand and headed to their room.
"But what of Megumi?" Bell asked him as they walked down the hall.
"Do you really want to be the one who asks Peorth to let someone sleep in her room?" He asked her.
Belldandy giggled quietly.
****
"Well then, Flying Woman, that leaves you and me." Megumi turned to the goddess.
"I have a name you know." Peorth snorted in a very unlady-like maner.
"I know. But we haven't been properly introduced and I never really got your name" Megumi shuggered.
"You should at least know the name of the person in who's room you're gonna sleep in." Peorth scoffed.
"You should at least have the maners to *not* grope someone you just met." 'Megumi chuckled.
Peorth glared at her but smiled anyway. "Haha. Very funny." She headed towards her room with Megumi on her heels. "I'm Peorth, by the way."
"Megumi. Nice to meet you."

**Uruz, Bern, Sauìl and Perthra are the names of runes of diffrent futhark but they respectively mean past/fire, present/wind, Tomorrow/ice and eternity/rocks. I took that information in a french book called "comment interpreter les runes" and I don't know very much about the runes so if i'm wrong somewhere, don't blame me, blame the book.
