Chapter Three: Suspicion
"Hey Bell." Keiichi had gone into the kitchen to speak with her and was relieved to find Skuld not there.
"Yes, Keiichi?" Belldandy paused her cooking for a moment to give her full attention to Keiichi.
"Would you um…" Keiichi blushed and scratched the back of his head. "Would you like to go to the park or maybe a movie this evening?"
Belldandy was overjoyed. "I would be more than happy to!"
"Thanks." Keiichi sighed in relief.
"So why don't you two love birds just leave now!" Urd popped out of nowhere and started pushing them out the front door.
"N-no, I couldn't! I have to fix dinner for everyone!" Belldandy insisted.
"Forget about us, Bell. We'll be fine. You just worry about having a good time, kay?" Urd gave the couple one last shove out the door.
Skuld walked into the room at that moment as Urd was locking the door and the 2nd class goddess looked around. "Where's Belldandy?"
"Uh…" Urd started sweating bullets; trying to think up a good excuse. Skuld would kill Keiichi if she found out the two of them had gone out alone and unsupervised. "Well you see… Belldandy and Keiichi went out for a quick walk… Yeah, for exercise!"
"Oh okay… I'm going to bed." Skuld turned on her heel and proceeded to Skuld Labs.
Was Skuld really that gullible? Urd wondered while grabbing herself some sake to drink. Normally Skuld would have gone ballistic at the very least. Maybe she should mention this to Belldandy when she returned. Then again, it could wait a while. Urd didn't want to ruin Belldandy and Keiichi's time together after all.

Um… you may all throw rocks at me if you wish for coming out with a very short and very sucky chapter. Don't ask when the next one will be out either.
