The bug ch21
"Urd?" Belldandy asked, a little unsure.
Urd glanced at Mara, who nodded, squeazing gently the goddess' hand. She took a deep breath and faced her sisters, ready to confront their reactions. "Why don't you all sit down?" She suggested.
When they were all comfortably installed around the table, inhaled again. "I need to tell you something." She glanced at her sister and at the figures she, over the time, came to consider her familly. "You may have noticed that Mara and I were rather... close... lately." She carefully stated. "And um.... well..."
"Get to the point already." Skuld who was resting her head in one hand, taped her fingers on the table.
Urd sighed. "We're a we. Like in together." She observed their reaction. Skuld didn't react as she already knew it. Peorth smiled, obviously happy that Urd was happy. Belldandy stared, registerig information and Keiichi.. well Keiichi had a nosebleed.
"So you're a couple." Megumi leaned back on the wall, totally unphased.
"Exactly." Urd nodded.
Keiichi was desperately trying to stop his nosebleed.
"Congratulations." Belldandy smiled. Then something occured to her and she turned to Skuld. "You knew!"
"Me?" The young goddess asked innocently as she straightened.
"That's what your 'I'm done with surprises' was about." She kept her mouth open as she gaped as Skuld.
Peorth put a hand on Belldandy's shoulder. "Relax, Bell." She chuckled.
Belldandy turned slowly to Peorth. "You knew too." She accused her friend.
"Me??" Peorth answered in the same fashion as Skuld did earlier. "Yeah, I did." She admitted; first class goddess can't lie.
Belldandy turned to Urd. "You told them but not me?" She asked, a little hurt.
Urd's eyes widened. "No! No, no! It's not like that!" She got up and sat next to her sister. "Peorth knew from the begining and Skuld, she.... er... walked in on us last evening."
"Oh." Belldandy stared. Keiichi got up and went to get some tissues.
Mara observed the scene. 'Well they took it pretty well.' She thought as Megumi sat beside her.
"Can I ask something?" The brunette questionned casually.
"Go ahead."
Megumi seemed to think her question over. "From what I understand, you're a demon, yeah?"
"Yeah." Mara frowned, not understanding why the girl seemed concerned.
"And Urd's a goddess, right?" Megumi carefully added.
'Oh. So that's where she's going.' Mara didn't answered and everyone fell silent.
"I though so." Megumi sighed. "So there IS a problem with it."
"Yes." Urd stared at the ground. "We're kinda worried." She smiled sheepishly.
"'Kinda worried'?" Keiichi repeated, raising an eyebrow.
"Very worried." Mara corrected."In fact, I'm dead scared." She glanced at Urd. "I couldn't stand living without her.... again." She whispered the last part. Urd and Peorth knew what she was talking about and the others, juged it better to ignore it.
"It's the same for me." Urd sighed. "Bell, you have to help us.... surely there's a way...."
Belldandy frowned, reviewing in her head the rules she was taught about the relations between creatures of diffrent worlds. She and Keiichi had to pass the ultimate test, The Jugement Gate. But now, that.... horrible thing didn't exist anymore. Her frown deepened as she desperately tried to find a solution. When she finally gazed at her sister, apology was written all over her face. "I don't know." She stated. "I guess we'll have to ask Father.... or your mother." And got up.
Urd bit her lip. "We can't.... Not already." She abruptly stopped her sister.
"What? Why Urd?" Belldandy seemed a little disturbed that the tanned goddess would want to hide something that important to their father.
Urd kept silent, not sure if she had the right to doubt of the compassion of their father. Gazing at her lover, she made her mind to voice her thoughts. "I think...." she began still unsure of herself "That as generous, loving and kind as he is, he might separate us." She gulped.
"She's right, Bell." Peorth thoughtfully agreed. "Let them be for a while before talking to Kami-Sama."
Belldandy observed them all for a while as she considered their opinion. "Well, I guess it's your call, then, Urd." She sighed and sat back down.
****
Everyone had set out to their occupation and Urd and Mara were installed very comfortably and relaxed in the couch, watching tv.
"Urd? Can I talk to you for like a minute?" Megumi asked carefuly. She *had* noticed that they didn't wanted to be disturbed but that something on her mind wouldn't leave her alone.
Urd recluantly got up and sat next to her, on the balcony. "Yeah?" The goddess asked, smiling, as they were out of ear reach.
Megumi stood up and started tugging with her feet at a rock on the ground. "I know this is none of my buisniess, but I.... I can't help myself...." She looked back up at Urd, who was now very curious about what she had to say. "Yesterday night... Peorth she..." The girl ran a hand through her hair nervously. "She was crying in her sleep. She was whispering your name too." She murmured.
Urd's face fell. "She said she'd be alright." She gritted her theet. "She told me she'd get over it, she's pretty strong, you know." She tried to convince herself.
"Probably...." She started gnawing at her nails, a bad habit she had picked up since she began her studies at Nekomi Thech. "But is it ok to just leave her alone?" Megumi wondered aloud. "I mean, everybody needs a shoulder to cry on... I'm sure goddesses are no exception..."
Urd smiled at the kindess the girl was showing. "Then be there for her." Urd advised.
"And how am I supposed to do that?" She crossed her arms.
"There's no specific way to help or support someone.... you just gotta let your heart talk, if you know what I mean." The goddess shrugged.
"That is so cliché." Megumi shook her head smiling. "Why me, anyway? Why am I asking all this? Why do I care? Why would she give a shit about me?"
"Because she once liked your brother, she might fall for you too." She teased, answering the last question, the only one she thought was worth answering.
Megumi blushed. "Hey!"
The tanned woman stuck out her tongue at her. "You were SO asking for it!"
"I don't even know her." Megumi huffed, crossing her arms.
"But you're concerned about her." Urd noted, grinning.
"Bad influence from Kei." She defended herself. "The guy's concerned about everybody."
"K1 is a sweet boy." The goddess smiled.
"Too sweet." Megumi muttered and Urd ruffled her hair.
****
Megumi wandered in the shrine, trying to think about something to occupy herself as she was clearly wasting her time. 'Maybe I'll go and work on my bike, Kei'll be able to help me on some details...' She decided to head to the garage, but on her way, she heard sobs. 'Let me guess.' She slide the door open. 'Bingo.'
"Peorth, are you alright?" She said, standing a couple feets behind the goddess.
"Leave me alone." She muttered, curled up in a ball as she watched the scenery outside.
"Now that would be plain mean." Megumi stepped closer. "Tell me why you're crying?" She tried.
Peorth recaled what she saw in Megumi's mind earlier that morning and scoffed. "You already know."
Megumi bit her lip. "Yes. I do." She admitted
"Then just leave it at that. There's nothing you or I can do." She sniffed, trying her best to stop her crying. "I'm fine."
"If you say so..." Megumi turned back to the opened door, ready to leave but was stoped when she heard another sob escaping from Peorth. 'Damn.'
The goddess noticed the sound of Megumi's heavy boots aproaching her. "I thought I told you to--" She stoped as she felt arms wrap around her shoulders.
"You're not fine, Peorth." She murmured and paused, getting in order what she wanted to say. "It's aching all over because you love her and you can't make it stop. You want to be with her so goddamn much but you can't because she's head over heels with someone else." She squeezed the goddess tighter.
"I know it hurts real bad, so you shouldn't try and be strong right now , it's just too much to ask..... "She sniffed, feeling like she'd break down too but took a hold of herself. "I... I'll be strong in your place. So.... cry. Cry all you want, I'll be with you." Megumi didn't knew herself why all this felt so personal to her. Why she seemed to understand Peorth's feelings so well.
Peorth's eyes were wide and she brought a hand to her mouth, trying to suppress the hiccups and the tears she could feel rolling down her cheeks as the arms finally released her. She knew that Megumi was still behind her, she could feel the warm and kind aura she was now emitting.
Slowly, she turned to her, looking at her in the eyes and the brunette smiled sadly, opening her arms. Peorth nodded and rested her head on the girl's shoulder, letting the tears free, she clenched the back of Megumi's shirt. "I love her so much..." She breathed out, finally letting lose all the emotions she had welled up inside her.
She craddeled the goddess' figure in her arms. 'Let my heart speak, huh?' Megumi thought back on what Urd had said.
The two weren't awarre that they were observed by two other figures in the doorway.
"You think she'll be alright?" Urd asked as Mara and her watched the scene.
"I think so..." The blond wrapped her arms around the goddess. "That Morisato girl's pretty sweet, she'll help Peorth through."
"I guess..." Urd hugged Mara to her.
****
Two hours later, Peorth had fell asleep and Megumi had decided it was time for her to head home. Belldandy and Keiichi were standing next to the girl as she got ready to leave. Putting on her helmet and jerking the motors of her bike back to life, she turned to the couple. "Well that was... fun." She stoped. "Is it always like that?"
"Like what?" The boy cluelessly scratched his head.
"Like with all the shit and trouble and stuff. You know...." She tried to explain.
"I wouldn't use _these_ words, but... yeah, it's pretty much that everyday." He smiled.
She stared blankly at him. "You're my hero."
He sweatdropped. "well er.... take care Megumi." He smiled. "Be careful on your ride home."
"Always, brother." She lowered her helmet's visor. "You too, take care." She grined and took off.
****
Issa watched intently as the events up folded before her. She teleported back to Hell immediately.
She had been watching from as close as she could, the holy aura the goddesses emitted, keeping her at a safe distance. She bowed before her mistress and Hild touched the up side down star that marked the demon's forehead.
The queen of Hell saw all the event her servant was able to see and opened her eyes when her movie was finished. "So little K-boy has a sister...." She grinned. "That's perfect..."
