------(SON OF URD UNIVERSE)-----
Anata watched as Fiona helped Lyn recover from the loss of blood from the two nose bleeds he had. She watched as Fiona poured some more tea for Lyn.
"Here are you feeling better?" Fiona asked.
"I'm feeling a little better, but you didn't need to go through all this for me." Lyn said.
"I do feel partly responsible for what happened. And for just throwing you on to the floor." Fiona said.
"Yeah, Sorry about that Lyn." Anata said, sounding like she had just heard that last part.
She sounded distant, like she was a thousand miles away.
"Anata are you alright?" Fiona asked.
"What?.......... Sorry what was that?" Anata said as she snapped back to reality.
"You zoned out there. Are you alright." Lyn said.
"Just thinking..." Anata replied leaving it at that.
The truth was as she watched Fiona and Lyn, she realized how much she missed being with her Kou from her universe. During the past four days, she's done all she could do to not let her mind dwell on the whole separation thing. It wasn't just being with Kou she missed, it was also just talking with him. Sure Kou was a man of little words, but when he spoke his words there were meaning behind them. Not like most people that said the first thing that came to mind. And he always knew what to say to her to get her to cheer up, to make her laugh.
"What's the matter sis?" Fiona asked.
"I was wondering? If someone from the heavens would want to visit some one from hell?" Anata asked with a weak smile.
Fiona sat there and looked over at Lyn and back over at Anata. This it clicked with her.
"Anata are you thinking about going to see your friend?" Fiona asked as she squinted her eyes as she took a closer look at her sister.
"Well..." Anata trailed off.
"You are, are you?" Fiona said.
"I just want to talk to him!" Anata whined.
"Unless Raziel or Auntie Urd you will need to get permition from Hild or from our grandfather." Fiona pointed out.
"And your grandfather isn't just going to give permitshion to anyone unless it's a good reason." Lyn added.
"Why don't you just talk to him tomorrow at school, that way you can just talk to him with no problem." Fiona said.
"I guess your right." Anata said as she looked to the ground.
Just then, Skuld walked past the door to the tea room with an arm load of computer stuff. Fiona Lyn and Anata looked as each other then they walked to the door way to peek out in to the living room.
"You think she's going to have one of us test out some crazy invention of hers?" Lyn whispered.
The three watched as Skuld placed the computer stuff on to the floor in front of the TV.
"Lyn, if she dose want one of us to help her test out what ever she has there.... You should help her... You know take on for the team sort of thing." Anata whispered.
"Are you nuts? Look what happened to Raziel. I could go flying off to god knows where. I might not end up in a universe as good as this one or as your own." Lyn whispered loudly.
SSSSSSHHHHHH!!!!! Both sisters said in unison.
"Hey, maybe it's something to send you back to your universe?" Fiona whispered.
"Why don't you three just ask me already?" Skuld said from the living room with out turning to face them.
Lyn, Fiona and Anata froze with fear. Skuld was going to use what ever she had there on them.
"Okay then, what is it?" Anata asked.
"You need to guess." Skuld said, making Anata, Fiona and fall over anime style.
"All right, I'm game. Is it some new game you made?" Anata asked.
"No." Skuld simply replied as she went about hooking the computer to the TV.
"Oh I think I've seen this on one of Auntie Urd old anime DVD's. They put this thing on to some one's head and it let every one see what his fantasies are." Fiona said happily, clapping her hands together.
"Nope, I've made that one before already." Skuld said.
"Is it, something to do with Anata?" Lyn said.
"That's a little vague, but yes that's it." Skuld said as she turned around to face him.
"Really is this thing going to get me home soon then six months?" Anata asked cheerfully.
"Well I'm not sure about that..." Skuld replied.
"Aw damn." Anata groaned.
"But you know the saying two head are better then one? Well I got to thanking; two of me would come up with an answer to the problem faster the me and the me in your universe working alone." Skuld said.
"I get it.. I think.... " Anata said scratching her head.
"I can only send so much information, but I do have enough room to send a short message. Anata would you like to send a message?" Skuld asked as she handed her a key board.
Fiona and Lyn watched as Anata typed a small message. They didn't know what she had typed and thought it was going to a bit personal, because of the conversation they had just before Skuld walked past the door to the tea room.
When Anata was done, she handed the key board back to Skuld.
"Okay this iv going to take some time, before we will get any type of reply from your universe. So if you three want to go on out any where I can tell your parents when they get home." Skuld said.
"Umm okay. When will we know for sure?" Fiona asked.
"Probably tomorrow. That way, that will give the other me time to make what's needed to reply." Skuld replied.
Sitting there in the living room after watching her aunt sent what ever she was sending to her own universe, along with her message. Anata realized, She still her had father's credit card.
"Let's get something to eat." Anata said as she held up her father's credit card.
Looking over to the corner of the living room, Skuld saw all the shopping bags. Then she looked over at Anata and Fiona.
"I think you three better leave the credit card here." Skuld said as she held out her hand.
"Aww It's not we're going to go all out and go crazy with it. I mean really." Anata said.
"I'll give you some money, it's not a whole lot, but it will get you three something to eat." With that said, Skuld reached in to her pocket and handed Fiona the money and took the credit card from Anata.
------(GODDESS OF THE EARTH UNIVERSE)-----
Kou and Matagu has since returned home, and after having an early dinner Skuld and Matagu returned to their own home. Leaving Kou to take care of some work from Yggdrasil. As he sat in his room quietly reading some notes. He had fallen behind in his class work during the last couple of days, mainly due to the fact that he was missing Anata. And he had taken a advice from Belldandy that she had said to Keiichi a long time ago.
~ ~ ~ ~ Flash back ~ ~ ~ ~
"I need to finish this project, or Peorth is going to have it in for me.." Kou said as he scratched his head reading the same class work he's been trying to read in during the last two hours.
Hearing Kou speaking to him self, Belldandy stepped in to his room.
"Why don't you go and take a break?" Belldandy said as she peeked over Kou shoulder to see what he was working on.
"I wish I could, but this needs to be done in two days and handed in to Peorth her self." Kou said.
"You shouldn't put off your school work, but when you do. You should take the best of it. No?" Belldandy said.
"I guess you right...." Kou said as he put away his class notes.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ End flash back ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Belldandy was right, but now the school work just had to be done. And now it was down to work. As he read his notes, there was a knock at the front door. Not paying any attention to what was going on out in the living room, Kou went back to his notes.
Urd stood there at the front door a little surprised to see Yu standing there at the door.
"Hello Miss. Urd." Yu said.
"I'm sorry dear, but Anata isn't back yet." Urd said thinking that was going to be the question she as going to ask.
"I know she's not back, I was going to ask if Raziel was around." Asked Yu.
"No, he's not back yet." Urd replied. "Why are you looking for him?"
"No reason. I just wanted to get to know him better is all?" Yu replied.
"Ah, Has Raziel cough your eye?" Urd asked.
Yu has always thought that Urd was just about the coolest person in Anata's family. Sure she was old, older then Anata's mom in fact. But still had a figure of a supper model. Yu had kind of looked up to Urd. But still something Urd did just freaked her out.
"Well.... Just a little." Yu replied.
"Well come right on in. setting people up just so happens to be my expertise." Urd said as she ushered Yu in side.
"It is?" Yu asked giving Urd a questioning look.
"Sure it is, Look at Anata's parents." Urd said.
"So you are the one that hooked up Anata's parents?" Yu asked.
"You can say I had a hand in their relationship." Urd replied.
"Now this is what you do." Urd said as she started to whisper.
Yu stood there as Urd whispered in to her ear. The plane was all too simple, almost to the point that it was made by a child. In the other room, Belldandy started to hear some giggling. Wanting to know what was going on; she got up and looked to see. As she came to the from door was, she found Urd whispering in to Yu's ear. When she stood back up she and Yu went in to a full fledged laughter.
"You understand what I said?" Urd asked.
"Right, I'll wait at home for you to call me. Bye Mrs. Morisato, see ya later." Yu said as she rushed out of the temple.
When Anata's best friend was gone, Belldandy looked over to Urd with the most questioning like she had.
"Urd, what was that about?" Belldandy asked.
"Oh just doing the motherly thing and setting my son up on a date." Urd said. "Well I think it's the motherly thing.... I don't know." Urd said as he scratched her head.
"How do you know that he's not already with someone in his own universe?" Belldandy asked.
"He's never said anything about having a girlfriend." Urd replied just as Kou came in to the room about ready to ask a question about his class.
"Kou has he said anything to you?" Urd asked.
"Has who said what?" Kou asked just as confused as ever.
"Kou, has Raziel ever said anything about having a girlfriend?" Belldandy asked.
Standing there, Kou thought about the question at hand. He and Raziel hasn't really sat down and talked about anything. Besides for answering his question just the other night where they ran in to a shadow. But besides that there was nothing really.
"No, not that I know of.... Should I know why? Or is it one of those things that it's best that I don't know?" Kou said.
"It's best that you don't know." Urd replied.
"Yeah.. Umm, I'm going back to my studies." Kou said as he turned back around to his room.
------(SON OF URD UNIVERSE)-----
Meanwhile Fiona, Lyn and Anata sat in a karaoke club. Fiona and Lyn looked to be having a good time. All while Anata was.... Was well trying to have fun.
"What's the matter sis?" Fiona asked as she handed the song book to Anata.
"Well karaoke isn't exactly my thing. Now put me in a racing arcade game, hell even the real thing. That is fun." Anata said as she flipped through the song book.
"So you're in to motorcycles and things like that?" Fiona asked.
"Yeah, you can say that. Dad in my universe got me a motorcycle for my sixteenth birthday. But it was kind of blown up to peaces." Anata said.
"Oh? Auntie Skuld got hold of it and made some modifications to it?" Fiona asked.
"No, a shadow blew it to peaces, you know BOOM! Little itty bitty peaces." Anata said as she placed the straw to her drink in to her mouth.
Lyn sat there and scratched his chin trying to figure out what Anata was saying.
"Unless things are really different in your universe, how could a shadow blow up a motorcycle?" Lyn asked.
"No that's what they're called. Their a vary old race that was made by Yggdrasil in my universe. They're evil, and nothing but monsters. Something that I wish that this universe and any other never have to face." Anata said in a tone that Fiona and Lyn had never head from her before. It was a different side of Anata.
Lyn and Fiona sat there in silence, surly Yggdrasil it self would never make a race of pure monsters. Then Fiona remembered how Anata zoned out while they were in the mall earlier that day.
"Remember at the mall when you went out of it for a second? And I asked you if you were alright?" Fiona asked.
"Well I saw this thing.... I don't know it's kind of hard to explain." Anata said trying to think of the best way to explain what she had seen.
"Just say what come first comes in to your head." Fiona suggested.
"It was really strange, it looked like... Well. Raven when he turned in to that Evangelion thing. But......" Anata said stopping midsitence.
"Go on sis." Fiona said supporting her sister.
"Well, this thing I felt nothing but evil from it. It was strange. It was all black and with this horn on its head. It didn't move, it just stood there looking at me. It was really strange. I saw it once before that too. That first night I was here. Over at the night club we went to. I saw it there and it was also just looking at me. Do you two know what it is?" Anata asked.
"Do you think that it's?.........." Fiona asked Lyn.
"I don't know..." Lyn replied.
"What? What is it?" Anata asked.
"And what's the deal with this Evangelion thing anyways?" Anata asked.
"It's something that we really don't understand our self's yet. Sorry." Fiona said as she looked down at the table.
"It's alright, I don't exactly know all about my powers too. I mean in my universe the reactors that give me my power were just rebuilt, since I worked them way too hard. Three out of the four reactors blew up. While I was fighting the shadows." Anata said.
"Really?" Lyn asked.
All Anata did was stand up from the table and slightly lifted her shirt. When she did, Fiona and Lyn slightly cringed at the sight of the burses. Seeing their reactions, Anata lowered her shirt.
"The ribs are still hurt a little. But their feeling better then they did after that battle." Anata said as she sat back down.
"Ouch.. How bad was it?" Fiona asked as he held her hand to her mouth.
"Not too bad. Just two broken ribs, one cracked rib, my shoulder got all twisted up. But I'm all right." Anata said.
"Fiona said it. Ouch." Lyn said.
"It's no big deal, I'm fine." Anata said. "Now I think it's my turn with the singing." Anata added as she started again flipping through the song book.
"Yes it's your turn." Fiona said smiling.
"I need to warn you both. Singing is not my strong area. Peorth said that it's like hearing turchered souls scream." Anata said as she looked some more through the book.
"No, it can't be that bad." Lyn said.
"Okay here we go song two-thirty-four." Anata said.
Fiona then typed the number code in to the machine and seconds later, the music started to play. Then Anata started to sing.
"Maybe life is like a ride on a freeway, Dodging bullets while you're trying to find your way. Everyone's around, but no one dose a damn thing. It brings me down, but I won't let them..." Anata sung.
As she sung, Fiona and Lyn clenched their teeth. It was true, Anata was bad. Really bad, and the way she said that Peorth described her singing. Was right on. When she was done she looked over at Lyn and Fiona and.
"So? Did I do all right?" Anata asked as she took a sip of her drink.
Fiona and Lyn looked at each other.
"Well?" Anata asked.
"Well, there are so many words to choose from, I don't know where to start." Fiona said with a weak smile.
"I sucked, didn't I?" Anata said.
"Now 'sucked' is a harsh word. I was thinking more along the lines of..." Lyn trailed off, thinking of a right word to use.
"Blowed?" Anata added.
"No..." Fiona said as she scratched her chin. "I'm just going to stick with really bad."
"Gees thanks Sis." Anata said as she rested her head on the table.
"Sorry." Fiona said as she tried to make Anata feel better. "You are going to be here for a long time, maybe mom can help you with your singing?"
"No good. I just didn't get that from mom. Heck I can't even cook." Anata groaned.
"It can't be that bad?" Fiona asked. "Mom showed me how to cook. She said that it should be something that I should know how to do."
"Same here, but after a good week of mom showing me how to cook, I still didn't get anywhere." Anata said. "But I know how to play the piano."
"You do?" Fiona and Lyn asked.
-------(GODDESS OF THE EARTH UNIVERSE)-------
Raziel had a splitting headache, he felt something moist on his forehead, he slowly his eyes because the light hurt him, his vision was blurred, but it slowly started to come into focus, he then saw Hild kneeling above him.
"Oh good you're awake." Hild said.
"Uh, grandma?" Raziel said a little disoriented.
"You gave me quite a fright." Hild said.
"What happened, I don't remember." Raziel said.
"Oh, uh, well happened isn't really important, so maybe you should go home and I'll come see you later okay!" Hild said nervously as she helped Raziel to his feet.
"Uh thanks grandma, wait, I think I remember something." Raziel said.
"Really, that's very interesting; well you better go home and rest!" Hild said as she hurried Raziel to the door.
"Oh wait, now I remember what happened, I was told by Peorth that I could find you and grandpa in his chambers and then." Raziel's eyes then widened with terror.
"Oh, Raziel-chan I can explain what happened." Hild said as she noticed the look in Raziel's eyes.
"Okay!" Raziel said frightened.
"Well you see in this world I and your grandfather have been having an affair, and because of it I've been having the greatest sex I've ever had for a long time." Hild said.
Raziel shuddered when a mental image was left in his head.
"Anyway, I and Kami have decided to do the right thing and keep our relationship separate from business, and now and then we do meet each other again to enjoy each other's company." Hild said.
To say the least, Raziel didn't really hear much after Hild mentioned the word sex, and simply stayed stunned.
"Raziel-chan, Raziel-chan!!" Hild said worriedly as she waved her hand in front of his face. "Oh dear." Hild said.
--------(SON OF URD UNIVERSE)-------
After their outing at the karaoke and Lyn had returned to the heavens, having to do some homework him self to do. Walking back up the hill that leads to the temple, it was really quite.
"Lyn seems like a nice guy." Anata blurted out.
"He is." Fiona replied.
"Dose Raziel have a girlfriend, she might be worried about him if he dose." Anata said not knowing where she was going with the question.
"No, he doesn't have a girlfriend, well that is now anymore." Fiona said.
"Oh? Okay.. You know what happened?" Anata asked.
"All I was able to get out of Raziel was that her mother and our family go way back." Fiona said.
"Oh.... Well okay...." Anata said. And got a questioning look on her face.
"Not related in that way!!!" Fiona said. "Our parents and her mother go back go way back, back to their collage days."
"Oh, that kind of relationship, you worried me there." Anata said in relief.
"So what's the deal with you and Lyn?" Anata asked. "I mean how long have you been together?"
"A couple of months." Fiona replied.
Anata then walked up in front of her sister and looked at her right in to Fiona's eyes. "So tell me sis? What have you and Lyn done?"
Fiona eyes about bugged out of her head. "What? I..I don't know what you talking about. I think you've been around Auntie Urd way to much." Fiona said as she weaved past Anata.
"Oh really. I'm no fool you know. Kou and I were doing stuff in just a couple of months." Anata said. "Come one you can tell your sister."
"I thought the other night you said that I don't need to answer that question?" Fiona asked.
"True, I did say that. But after watching you and Lyn tonight, one just has to ask." Anata said.
"Well... Umm, you see..." Fiona blushed.
"Well?" Anata said as she stepped in closer to Fiona. "We've made out...."
"I knew it." Anata said, standing there.
Just then both girls felt something approach them. They both froze in their places, but their eyes scanned the area. Trying to find the source of that energy they felt. What ever it was, it was coming up on them fast.
"You feel that sis?" Anata whispered.
"I do. What is it?" Fiona asked in a whispered.
"I don't know..." Anata replied.
"It kind of feels like an....."
"Watch out!" Anata yelled as she pushed Fiona out of the way. Just in time to see a beam blast a hole in to the brick wall that kept the earth from the road. Looking at the damage, Anata and Fiona looked over to where they felt the blast came from. And there they saw a white armored Evangelion coming out from the trees.
"Who is that?!" Anata yelled as she got to her feet.
"Like I know?!" Fiona yelled back.
"Who are you?!" Anata yelled.
The white Evangelion said nothing; all it did was draw a rather large knife and walked on ward to Fiona and Anata. Both sisters seeing the knife, they looked at each other and back at the Evangelion. With a flash of light, Fiona had changed in to her Evangelion form. Anata stood there in awl, how the street lights seemed to reflect off of her silver armor.
"What?" Fiona asked as she glanced over at Anata.
"Nothing." Anata said, and then she reached for her ear and removed a battle cross. Quickly swinging her arm to her side as the cross unfolded. Sparks of lightning streamed down the cross.
The three stood there. Then the white Evangelion started to run for the sisters. Anata and Fiona started to run to the white Evangelion. Anata was shocked to see that Fiona was a little bit faster then she was, even with that heavy armor on. Swinging the knife at Fiona. She was able to dodge out of its way, but only to be punched right square in her chest. Sending her flying back against the brick wall.
"No body knocks my sister around!" Anata yelled, swinging her cross.
In slow motion, Anata watched as the knife sliced through the cross. Breaking it in half. Stopping in her tracks, Anata stood here looking at the two half's of her cross in her hands.
"Oh hell. That's not good." Anata said.
Just then the white Evangelion's slightly larger then normal hand grabbed Anata's side, putting persure on a damaged rib that she had talked about just that night. Anata let out a scream that could vary well wake the dead. Lifting Anata up off the ground.
"Let off me, you son of a bitch!!!!" Anata yelled as she desperately punched the attacker on its shoulder. Then suddenly...
"Anata! Watch out!!!" Fiona yelled.
Turning her head to see what was going on; Anata only had a second to react to the brick that was coming right at her. Moving her self out of the way, the brick hit the white Evangelion in the head. Making the white Evangelion drop Anata.
Fiona then rammed the white Evangelion in to a nearby tree.
"Fiona out of the way!" Anata yelled, grabbing the staff part to her cross.
Doing as she was told, Fiona gave one last push before she saw Anata run past her with a pole in her hand. Anata watched as the white Evangelion's fist came her again. Dodging it, Anata slide to a stop, driving the staff end of her cross in to the side of the white Evangelion. Letting out a sound that made Fiona and Anata cover their ears, the white Evangelion ran for the cover of the forest that it came from.
Anata and Fiona stood there lessening to the white Evangelion as it ran deeper in to the forest, then as fast as the fight started. It was finished. Seeing the flash of light from behind her, Anata turned around to see Fiona back to her normal self. Even with the armor she had, Fiona still felt the effects the their battle. Then Anata grabbed her side and fell to her knees.
"Anata!" Fiona yelled, running to her sister's side. "Are you all right?"
"I'm fine... It didn't grab me on the side where I had the broke ribs. But that thing sure dished out an ass kicking? Didn't it?" Anata asked, forcing her self back to her feet.
"Here let me help you." Fiona said, as she came up under Anata's arm. Helping her up the hill to the temple.
---------(GODDESS OF THE EARTH UNIVERSE)--------
Still a bit dazed from passing out up in the heavens, and with the image of his grandparents having sex. Raziel was dropped to the floor to remove his sneakers. IN just the other room, Urd had heard the sound of someone at the back door. Knowing that it was no other then Raziel. She got up and made her way to see her son from another universe.
"About time you got back. What took you so long?" Urd asked.
"I passed out." Raziel simply replied. Trying to make his way past his mother, who was lazily floating beside him as he walked through the temple.
"What for?" Urd asked, floating in front of Raziel to get him to stand still.
"I had a bad run in with grandma and grandpa." Raziel replied, ducking past Urd.
Catching up with Raziel, she placed her hands to keep him from getting away again. "What do you mean?" Urd asked.
"You don't want to know." Raziel said as he tried to get lose from his mother's grip.
"Come now it can't be that bad?" Urd asked.
"Alright try this on. I walked in on them going at it like a couple of rabbits." Raziel said.
Urd shuttered at the vary thought.
"My poor son, you've been scared for life. Let mommy make it better." Urd said as she hugged Raziel, planting his face right in between her breasts, suffocating him.
Breaking him self from Urd embrace, Raziel stood there gasping for breath. Little did they know Kou had came in to the hall way at a vary bad time.
"I.....I'll get a drank of water later." Kou said he backed in to his room and closed the door.
Raziel stood there with his hands covering his face and shaking his head back and forth. "Look mom, I'm tired. So I'm going to bed, and hopefully I can make it through the night with out any nightmares."
"Nope." Urd said.
"Nope what?" Raziel asked.
"You are going out to get me something. Here you'll need some money. Now I want you to get me..." Urd was cut short by Raziel.
"I know you want some sake. And yes I'll get the good stuff, because if you're liver is going to pay for it; it might as well be trashed by the good stuff." Raziel said as he started his way back to back door.
"Who tough you that?" Urd asked as she fallowed him to the door.
"You did." Raziel replied.
"I need to remember that." Urd said to her self. "Oh and if you happen to find any other reason to spend that money on other then me. It's all right."
"Sounds like a set up." Raziel said.
"What?" Urd asked pointing to her self. "Would I, your carrying, loving mother do that to you?"
"Yes. Yes you would." Raziel said as he stepped out the back door.
When Raziel was out of the temple, Belldandy walked to the door where Urd was looking out the window.
"Was that Raziel?" Belldandy asked.
"Yeah, and I just sent him out. And now I get to this... Raziel has a girlfriend! Raziel has a girlfriend! Raziel has a girlfriend! Raziel has a girlfriend! Raziel has a girlfriend! Raziel has a girlfriend!" Urd said as she danced around the kitchen. Then she came across Kou as he was finally able to get that drink of water he wanted just a minute ago. And started to twarl him around as she danced some more.
"But what if things don't work?" Kou asked as he was about to be spun around again, making Urd stop.
"Don't cut my happiness short kid." Urd said in a dark tone.
"Raziel has a girlfriend! Raziel has a girlfriend! Raziel has a girlfriend! Raziel has a girlfriend! Raziel has a girlfriend! Raziel has a girlfriend!" Urd sung some more as she danced around the kitchen some more.
"But what if it works all too well?" Belldandy asked with a hint of a giggle.
Hearing that Urd stopped dancing and she dropped Kou at the same time. "What do you mean?" Urd asked.
"Well, Raziel is going to be here in our universe for a long time. No?" Belldandy said.
"What about it?" Urd asked.
"Well, what if they get along to well and they have a child, you know that sort of thing is quite common now in days." Belldandy said.
"This is when I leave now." Kou said as he tried to slip out of the room.
"Then that will make you...." Belldandy paused and thought. "Grandma Urd." Belldandy said with a smile.
Hearing the words 'Grandma Urd' Urd just froze in her place, then her age will be out of the question. Numbers would not matter, now she will be known as 'Grandma Urd' that alone would say that she was old.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!" Urd said as she ran to her room, pushing Kou out of her way.
Hearing all the noise, Keiichi looked in to the kitchen.
"What's going on in here?" Keiichi asked.
"Lady Belldandy just cracked a joke on Lady Urd." Kou informed.
"What?" Keiichi said. "You just picked on Urd?"
"Heavens no, I just simply pointed a fact." Belldandy said with a sweet tone.
Kou then covered his mouth and whispered. "She picked on her."
"I didn't!" Belldandy wined.
"It's all right Bell, even you half to have your moment." Keiichi said.
"But I really didn't pick on her." Belldandy said as she fallowed Keiichi back in to the living room.
Meanwhile, just down the street. Raziel placed the bottle of sake on to the counter top in from the elderly store clerk.
"Look at you. Don't you think you're all grown up?" The old lady said.
"It's for my mom." Raziel said, reaching in to his pocket.
"It's all right sonny, I understand." The old lady said.
Just then the door opened, making the small bell at the door ring. Raziel looked over to see who it was.
"Hi Raziel." Yu said. "What are you doing?"
"Wha-What are you doing here?" Raziel asked.
"Me? I'm here for something to eat. What about you." Yu asked then she noticed the bottle.
"Wow, looks like you have good taste." Yu said.
"IT'S NOT FOR ME! IT'S FOR MY MOM!!!" Raziel yelled. "Oops... Umm Miss Urd. It's for miss Urd." It was too late; HE had slipped up and said way too much.
Maybe it was from the bad run in with his grandparents, or the brush with death from the cab driver. But today was not his day.
"What you said 'mom' didn't you?" Yu asked running up to Raziel.
"No I didn't." Raziel said knowing that he was clearly lying.
"You did. You did say mom." Yu said.
Raziel let out a heavy sigh. "Yeah.. I did." Raziel said in an almost a whisper.
"You know, I can see it. Now that you said something." Yu said.
'Mom did say if I find something else better to spend the money one that it would be okay.' Raziel thought to him self.
Raziel looked over at the old store clerk. "Ma'am. Never mind about the sake." Raziel said. Then he looked over at Yu.
"Let's go and find something to do." Raziel asked.
"Really, but I thought your mom Miss Urd wanted her sake. I know how she can get you know." Yu said.
"She doesn't need it. It'll be all right." Raziel said.
"Okay." Yu said as she grabbed on to Raziel's arm.
As Raziel and Yu walked out of the store, they had no idea that a small, yet powerful shadow watched form the roof tops. All it had to do was wait for the right time, and take a body. Watching the two walk around the corner, the shadow sprinted off to the next roof top.
--------(SON OF URD UNIVERSE)--------
Sitting in their room, Anata tended to her wounds. The white Evangelion apparently had claws.
"Are you all right. That looks really bad." Belldandy asked.
"It's wasn't the first time, nor will it be the last time something gets me like that. I'll live." Anata said as she finished wrapping the dressing around her. "Dose it hurt?" Fiona asked, handing Anata a clasp for the dressing.
"It stings a bit. I've gotten kind of used to things like this." Anata replied. "But one thing is for sure."
"What's that sis?" Fiona asked.
"I won't be wearing any two peace swim suit for a while." Anata said with a smile.
"Well I do know one thing." Fiona said.
"What's that?" Keiichi asked.
"That white Evangelion was strong. It knocked me around and Anata. We need to get Raven and Lyn." Fiona said.
"And in the morning I need to tell Peorth to make sure that my reactors are at one hundred percent." Anata added. "But now I just want to sleep."
T.B.C.
-------Preview------
We've seen Fiona and Anata's run in with the white Evangelion. Now it's Raziel's turn to go one on one with a shadow. But not just any other shadow. Check it out. Next time on Split Worlds.
Chapter nine
------(SON OF URD UNIVERSE)-----
Anata watched as Fiona helped Lyn recover from the loss of blood from the two nose bleeds he had. She watched as Fiona poured some more tea for Lyn.
"Here are you feeling better?" Fiona asked.
"I'm feeling a little better, but you didn't need to go through all this for me." Lyn said.
"I do feel partly responsible for what happened. And for just throwing you on to the floor." Fiona said.
"Yeah, Sorry about that Lyn." Anata said, sounding like she had just heard that last part.
She sounded distant, like she was a thousand miles away.
"Anata are you alright?" Fiona asked.
"What?.......... Sorry what was that?" Anata said as she snapped back to reality.
"You zoned out there. Are you alright." Lyn said.
"Just thinking..." Anata replied leaving it at that.
The truth was as she watched Fiona and Lyn, she realized how much she missed being with her Kou from her universe. During the past four days, she's done all she could do to not let her mind dwell on the whole separation thing. It wasn't just being with Kou she missed, it was also just talking with him. Sure Kou was a man of little words, but when he spoke his words there were meaning behind them. Not like most people that said the first thing that came to mind. And he always knew what to say to her to get her to cheer up, to make her laugh.
"What's the matter sis?" Fiona asked.
"I was wondering? If someone from the heavens would want to visit some one from hell?" Anata asked with a weak smile.
Fiona sat there and looked over at Lyn and back over at Anata. This it clicked with her.
"Anata are you thinking about going to see your friend?" Fiona asked as she squinted her eyes as she took a closer look at her sister.
"Well..." Anata trailed off.
"You are, are you?" Fiona said.
"I just want to talk to him!" Anata whined.
"Unless Raziel or Auntie Urd you will need to get permition from Hild or from our grandfather." Fiona pointed out.
"And your grandfather isn't just going to give permitshion to anyone unless it's a good reason." Lyn added.
"Why don't you just talk to him tomorrow at school, that way you can just talk to him with no problem." Fiona said.
"I guess your right." Anata said as she looked to the ground.
Just then, Skuld walked past the door to the tea room with an arm load of computer stuff. Fiona Lyn and Anata looked as each other then they walked to the door way to peek out in to the living room.
"You think she's going to have one of us test out some crazy invention of hers?" Lyn whispered.
The three watched as Skuld placed the computer stuff on to the floor in front of the TV.
"Lyn, if she dose want one of us to help her test out what ever she has there.... You should help her... You know take on for the team sort of thing." Anata whispered.
"Are you nuts? Look what happened to Raziel. I could go flying off to god knows where. I might not end up in a universe as good as this one or as your own." Lyn whispered loudly.
SSSSSSHHHHHH!!!!! Both sisters said in unison.
"Hey, maybe it's something to send you back to your universe?" Fiona whispered.
"Why don't you three just ask me already?" Skuld said from the living room with out turning to face them.
Lyn, Fiona and Anata froze with fear. Skuld was going to use what ever she had there on them.
"Okay then, what is it?" Anata asked.
"You need to guess." Skuld said, making Anata, Fiona and fall over anime style.
"All right, I'm game. Is it some new game you made?" Anata asked.
"No." Skuld simply replied as she went about hooking the computer to the TV.
"Oh I think I've seen this on one of Auntie Urd old anime DVD's. They put this thing on to some one's head and it let every one see what his fantasies are." Fiona said happily, clapping her hands together.
"Nope, I've made that one before already." Skuld said.
"Is it, something to do with Anata?" Lyn said.
"That's a little vague, but yes that's it." Skuld said as she turned around to face him.
"Really is this thing going to get me home soon then six months?" Anata asked cheerfully.
"Well I'm not sure about that..." Skuld replied.
"Aw damn." Anata groaned.
"But you know the saying two head are better then one? Well I got to thanking; two of me would come up with an answer to the problem faster the me and the me in your universe working alone." Skuld said.
"I get it.. I think.... " Anata said scratching her head.
"I can only send so much information, but I do have enough room to send a short message. Anata would you like to send a message?" Skuld asked as she handed her a key board.
Fiona and Lyn watched as Anata typed a small message. They didn't know what she had typed and thought it was going to a bit personal, because of the conversation they had just before Skuld walked past the door to the tea room.
When Anata was done, she handed the key board back to Skuld.
"Okay this iv going to take some time, before we will get any type of reply from your universe. So if you three want to go on out any where I can tell your parents when they get home." Skuld said.
"Umm okay. When will we know for sure?" Fiona asked.
"Probably tomorrow. That way, that will give the other me time to make what's needed to reply." Skuld replied.
Sitting there in the living room after watching her aunt sent what ever she was sending to her own universe, along with her message. Anata realized, She still her had father's credit card.
"Let's get something to eat." Anata said as she held up her father's credit card.
Looking over to the corner of the living room, Skuld saw all the shopping bags. Then she looked over at Anata and Fiona.
"I think you three better leave the credit card here." Skuld said as she held out her hand.
"Aww It's not we're going to go all out and go crazy with it. I mean really." Anata said.
"I'll give you some money, it's not a whole lot, but it will get you three something to eat." With that said, Skuld reached in to her pocket and handed Fiona the money and took the credit card from Anata.
------(GODDESS OF THE EARTH UNIVERSE)-----
Kou and Matagu has since returned home, and after having an early dinner Skuld and Matagu returned to their own home. Leaving Kou to take care of some work from Yggdrasil. As he sat in his room quietly reading some notes. He had fallen behind in his class work during the last couple of days, mainly due to the fact that he was missing Anata. And he had taken a advice from Belldandy that she had said to Keiichi a long time ago.
~ ~ ~ ~ Flash back ~ ~ ~ ~
"I need to finish this project, or Peorth is going to have it in for me.." Kou said as he scratched his head reading the same class work he's been trying to read in during the last two hours.
Hearing Kou speaking to him self, Belldandy stepped in to his room.
"Why don't you go and take a break?" Belldandy said as she peeked over Kou shoulder to see what he was working on.
"I wish I could, but this needs to be done in two days and handed in to Peorth her self." Kou said.
"You shouldn't put off your school work, but when you do. You should take the best of it. No?" Belldandy said.
"I guess you right...." Kou said as he put away his class notes.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ End flash back ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Belldandy was right, but now the school work just had to be done. And now it was down to work. As he read his notes, there was a knock at the front door. Not paying any attention to what was going on out in the living room, Kou went back to his notes.
Urd stood there at the front door a little surprised to see Yu standing there at the door.
"Hello Miss. Urd." Yu said.
"I'm sorry dear, but Anata isn't back yet." Urd said thinking that was going to be the question she as going to ask.
"I know she's not back, I was going to ask if Raziel was around." Asked Yu.
"No, he's not back yet." Urd replied. "Why are you looking for him?"
"No reason. I just wanted to get to know him better is all?" Yu replied.
"Ah, Has Raziel cough your eye?" Urd asked.
Yu has always thought that Urd was just about the coolest person in Anata's family. Sure she was old, older then Anata's mom in fact. But still had a figure of a supper model. Yu had kind of looked up to Urd. But still something Urd did just freaked her out.
"Well.... Just a little." Yu replied.
"Well come right on in. setting people up just so happens to be my expertise." Urd said as she ushered Yu in side.
"It is?" Yu asked giving Urd a questioning look.
"Sure it is, Look at Anata's parents." Urd said.
"So you are the one that hooked up Anata's parents?" Yu asked.
"You can say I had a hand in their relationship." Urd replied.
"Now this is what you do." Urd said as she started to whisper.
Yu stood there as Urd whispered in to her ear. The plane was all too simple, almost to the point that it was made by a child. In the other room, Belldandy started to hear some giggling. Wanting to know what was going on; she got up and looked to see. As she came to the from door was, she found Urd whispering in to Yu's ear. When she stood back up she and Yu went in to a full fledged laughter.
"You understand what I said?" Urd asked.
"Right, I'll wait at home for you to call me. Bye Mrs. Morisato, see ya later." Yu said as she rushed out of the temple.
When Anata's best friend was gone, Belldandy looked over to Urd with the most questioning like she had.
"Urd, what was that about?" Belldandy asked.
"Oh just doing the motherly thing and setting my son up on a date." Urd said. "Well I think it's the motherly thing.... I don't know." Urd said as he scratched her head.
"How do you know that he's not already with someone in his own universe?" Belldandy asked.
"He's never said anything about having a girlfriend." Urd replied just as Kou came in to the room about ready to ask a question about his class.
"Kou has he said anything to you?" Urd asked.
"Has who said what?" Kou asked just as confused as ever.
"Kou, has Raziel ever said anything about having a girlfriend?" Belldandy asked.
Standing there, Kou thought about the question at hand. He and Raziel hasn't really sat down and talked about anything. Besides for answering his question just the other night where they ran in to a shadow. But besides that there was nothing really.
"No, not that I know of.... Should I know why? Or is it one of those things that it's best that I don't know?" Kou said.
"It's best that you don't know." Urd replied.
"Yeah.. Umm, I'm going back to my studies." Kou said as he turned back around to his room.
------(SON OF URD UNIVERSE)-----
Meanwhile Fiona, Lyn and Anata sat in a karaoke club. Fiona and Lyn looked to be having a good time. All while Anata was.... Was well trying to have fun.
"What's the matter sis?" Fiona asked as she handed the song book to Anata.
"Well karaoke isn't exactly my thing. Now put me in a racing arcade game, hell even the real thing. That is fun." Anata said as she flipped through the song book.
"So you're in to motorcycles and things like that?" Fiona asked.
"Yeah, you can say that. Dad in my universe got me a motorcycle for my sixteenth birthday. But it was kind of blown up to peaces." Anata said.
"Oh? Auntie Skuld got hold of it and made some modifications to it?" Fiona asked.
"No, a shadow blew it to peaces, you know BOOM! Little itty bitty peaces." Anata said as she placed the straw to her drink in to her mouth.
Lyn sat there and scratched his chin trying to figure out what Anata was saying.
"Unless things are really different in your universe, how could a shadow blow up a motorcycle?" Lyn asked.
"No that's what they're called. Their a vary old race that was made by Yggdrasil in my universe. They're evil, and nothing but monsters. Something that I wish that this universe and any other never have to face." Anata said in a tone that Fiona and Lyn had never head from her before. It was a different side of Anata.
Lyn and Fiona sat there in silence, surly Yggdrasil it self would never make a race of pure monsters. Then Fiona remembered how Anata zoned out while they were in the mall earlier that day.
"Remember at the mall when you went out of it for a second? And I asked you if you were alright?" Fiona asked.
"Well I saw this thing.... I don't know it's kind of hard to explain." Anata said trying to think of the best way to explain what she had seen.
"Just say what come first comes in to your head." Fiona suggested.
"It was really strange, it looked like... Well. Raven when he turned in to that Evangelion thing. But......" Anata said stopping midsitence.
"Go on sis." Fiona said supporting her sister.
"Well, this thing I felt nothing but evil from it. It was strange. It was all black and with this horn on its head. It didn't move, it just stood there looking at me. It was really strange. I saw it once before that too. That first night I was here. Over at the night club we went to. I saw it there and it was also just looking at me. Do you two know what it is?" Anata asked.
"Do you think that it's?.........." Fiona asked Lyn.
"I don't know..." Lyn replied.
"What? What is it?" Anata asked.
"And what's the deal with this Evangelion thing anyways?" Anata asked.
"It's something that we really don't understand our self's yet. Sorry." Fiona said as she looked down at the table.
"It's alright, I don't exactly know all about my powers too. I mean in my universe the reactors that give me my power were just rebuilt, since I worked them way too hard. Three out of the four reactors blew up. While I was fighting the shadows." Anata said.
"Really?" Lyn asked.
All Anata did was stand up from the table and slightly lifted her shirt. When she did, Fiona and Lyn slightly cringed at the sight of the burses. Seeing their reactions, Anata lowered her shirt.
"The ribs are still hurt a little. But their feeling better then they did after that battle." Anata said as she sat back down.
"Ouch.. How bad was it?" Fiona asked as he held her hand to her mouth.
"Not too bad. Just two broken ribs, one cracked rib, my shoulder got all twisted up. But I'm all right." Anata said.
"Fiona said it. Ouch." Lyn said.
"It's no big deal, I'm fine." Anata said. "Now I think it's my turn with the singing." Anata added as she started again flipping through the song book.
"Yes it's your turn." Fiona said smiling.
"I need to warn you both. Singing is not my strong area. Peorth said that it's like hearing turchered souls scream." Anata said as she looked some more through the book.
"No, it can't be that bad." Lyn said.
"Okay here we go song two-thirty-four." Anata said.
Fiona then typed the number code in to the machine and seconds later, the music started to play. Then Anata started to sing.
"Maybe life is like a ride on a freeway, Dodging bullets while you're trying to find your way. Everyone's around, but no one dose a damn thing. It brings me down, but I won't let them..." Anata sung.
As she sung, Fiona and Lyn clenched their teeth. It was true, Anata was bad. Really bad, and the way she said that Peorth described her singing. Was right on. When she was done she looked over at Lyn and Fiona and.
"So? Did I do all right?" Anata asked as she took a sip of her drink.
Fiona and Lyn looked at each other.
"Well?" Anata asked.
"Well, there are so many words to choose from, I don't know where to start." Fiona said with a weak smile.
"I sucked, didn't I?" Anata said.
"Now 'sucked' is a harsh word. I was thinking more along the lines of..." Lyn trailed off, thinking of a right word to use.
"Blowed?" Anata added.
"No..." Fiona said as she scratched her chin. "I'm just going to stick with really bad."
"Gees thanks Sis." Anata said as she rested her head on the table.
"Sorry." Fiona said as she tried to make Anata feel better. "You are going to be here for a long time, maybe mom can help you with your singing?"
"No good. I just didn't get that from mom. Heck I can't even cook." Anata groaned.
"It can't be that bad?" Fiona asked. "Mom showed me how to cook. She said that it should be something that I should know how to do."
"Same here, but after a good week of mom showing me how to cook, I still didn't get anywhere." Anata said. "But I know how to play the piano."
"You do?" Fiona and Lyn asked.
-------(GODDESS OF THE EARTH UNIVERSE)-------
Raziel had a splitting headache, he felt something moist on his forehead, he slowly his eyes because the light hurt him, his vision was blurred, but it slowly started to come into focus, he then saw Hild kneeling above him.
"Oh good you're awake." Hild said.
"Uh, grandma?" Raziel said a little disoriented.
"You gave me quite a fright." Hild said.
"What happened, I don't remember." Raziel said.
"Oh, uh, well happened isn't really important, so maybe you should go home and I'll come see you later okay!" Hild said nervously as she helped Raziel to his feet.
"Uh thanks grandma, wait, I think I remember something." Raziel said.
"Really, that's very interesting; well you better go home and rest!" Hild said as she hurried Raziel to the door.
"Oh wait, now I remember what happened, I was told by Peorth that I could find you and grandpa in his chambers and then." Raziel's eyes then widened with terror.
"Oh, Raziel-chan I can explain what happened." Hild said as she noticed the look in Raziel's eyes.
"Okay!" Raziel said frightened.
"Well you see in this world I and your grandfather have been having an affair, and because of it I've been having the greatest sex I've ever had for a long time." Hild said.
Raziel shuddered when a mental image was left in his head.
"Anyway, I and Kami have decided to do the right thing and keep our relationship separate from business, and now and then we do meet each other again to enjoy each other's company." Hild said.
To say the least, Raziel didn't really hear much after Hild mentioned the word sex, and simply stayed stunned.
"Raziel-chan, Raziel-chan!!" Hild said worriedly as she waved her hand in front of his face. "Oh dear." Hild said.
--------(SON OF URD UNIVERSE)-------
After their outing at the karaoke and Lyn had returned to the heavens, having to do some homework him self to do. Walking back up the hill that leads to the temple, it was really quite.
"Lyn seems like a nice guy." Anata blurted out.
"He is." Fiona replied.
"Dose Raziel have a girlfriend, she might be worried about him if he dose." Anata said not knowing where she was going with the question.
"No, he doesn't have a girlfriend, well that is now anymore." Fiona said.
"Oh? Okay.. You know what happened?" Anata asked.
"All I was able to get out of Raziel was that her mother and our family go way back." Fiona said.
"Oh.... Well okay...." Anata said. And got a questioning look on her face.
"Not related in that way!!!" Fiona said. "Our parents and her mother go back go way back, back to their collage days."
"Oh, that kind of relationship, you worried me there." Anata said in relief.
"So what's the deal with you and Lyn?" Anata asked. "I mean how long have you been together?"
"A couple of months." Fiona replied.
Anata then walked up in front of her sister and looked at her right in to Fiona's eyes. "So tell me sis? What have you and Lyn done?"
Fiona eyes about bugged out of her head. "What? I..I don't know what you talking about. I think you've been around Auntie Urd way to much." Fiona said as she weaved past Anata.
"Oh really. I'm no fool you know. Kou and I were doing stuff in just a couple of months." Anata said. "Come one you can tell your sister."
"I thought the other night you said that I don't need to answer that question?" Fiona asked.
"True, I did say that. But after watching you and Lyn tonight, one just has to ask." Anata said.
"Well... Umm, you see..." Fiona blushed.
"Well?" Anata said as she stepped in closer to Fiona. "We've made out...."
"I knew it." Anata said, standing there.
Just then both girls felt something approach them. They both froze in their places, but their eyes scanned the area. Trying to find the source of that energy they felt. What ever it was, it was coming up on them fast.
"You feel that sis?" Anata whispered.
"I do. What is it?" Fiona asked in a whispered.
"I don't know..." Anata replied.
"It kind of feels like an....."
"Watch out!" Anata yelled as she pushed Fiona out of the way. Just in time to see a beam blast a hole in to the brick wall that kept the earth from the road. Looking at the damage, Anata and Fiona looked over to where they felt the blast came from. And there they saw a white armored Evangelion coming out from the trees.
"Who is that?!" Anata yelled as she got to her feet.
"Like I know?!" Fiona yelled back.
"Who are you?!" Anata yelled.
The white Evangelion said nothing; all it did was draw a rather large knife and walked on ward to Fiona and Anata. Both sisters seeing the knife, they looked at each other and back at the Evangelion. With a flash of light, Fiona had changed in to her Evangelion form. Anata stood there in awl, how the street lights seemed to reflect off of her silver armor.
"What?" Fiona asked as she glanced over at Anata.
"Nothing." Anata said, and then she reached for her ear and removed a battle cross. Quickly swinging her arm to her side as the cross unfolded. Sparks of lightning streamed down the cross.
The three stood there. Then the white Evangelion started to run for the sisters. Anata and Fiona started to run to the white Evangelion. Anata was shocked to see that Fiona was a little bit faster then she was, even with that heavy armor on. Swinging the knife at Fiona. She was able to dodge out of its way, but only to be punched right square in her chest. Sending her flying back against the brick wall.
"No body knocks my sister around!" Anata yelled, swinging her cross.
In slow motion, Anata watched as the knife sliced through the cross. Breaking it in half. Stopping in her tracks, Anata stood here looking at the two half's of her cross in her hands.
"Oh hell. That's not good." Anata said.
Just then the white Evangelion's slightly larger then normal hand grabbed Anata's side, putting persure on a damaged rib that she had talked about just that night. Anata let out a scream that could vary well wake the dead. Lifting Anata up off the ground.
"Let off me, you son of a bitch!!!!" Anata yelled as she desperately punched the attacker on its shoulder. Then suddenly...
"Anata! Watch out!!!" Fiona yelled.
Turning her head to see what was going on; Anata only had a second to react to the brick that was coming right at her. Moving her self out of the way, the brick hit the white Evangelion in the head. Making the white Evangelion drop Anata.
Fiona then rammed the white Evangelion in to a nearby tree.
"Fiona out of the way!" Anata yelled, grabbing the staff part to her cross.
Doing as she was told, Fiona gave one last push before she saw Anata run past her with a pole in her hand. Anata watched as the white Evangelion's fist came her again. Dodging it, Anata slide to a stop, driving the staff end of her cross in to the side of the white Evangelion. Letting out a sound that made Fiona and Anata cover their ears, the white Evangelion ran for the cover of the forest that it came from.
Anata and Fiona stood there lessening to the white Evangelion as it ran deeper in to the forest, then as fast as the fight started. It was finished. Seeing the flash of light from behind her, Anata turned around to see Fiona back to her normal self. Even with the armor she had, Fiona still felt the effects the their battle. Then Anata grabbed her side and fell to her knees.
"Anata!" Fiona yelled, running to her sister's side. "Are you all right?"
"I'm fine... It didn't grab me on the side where I had the broke ribs. But that thing sure dished out an ass kicking? Didn't it?" Anata asked, forcing her self back to her feet.
"Here let me help you." Fiona said, as she came up under Anata's arm. Helping her up the hill to the temple.
---------(GODDESS OF THE EARTH UNIVERSE)--------
Still a bit dazed from passing out up in the heavens, and with the image of his grandparents having sex. Raziel was dropped to the floor to remove his sneakers. IN just the other room, Urd had heard the sound of someone at the back door. Knowing that it was no other then Raziel. She got up and made her way to see her son from another universe.
"About time you got back. What took you so long?" Urd asked.
"I passed out." Raziel simply replied. Trying to make his way past his mother, who was lazily floating beside him as he walked through the temple.
"What for?" Urd asked, floating in front of Raziel to get him to stand still.
"I had a bad run in with grandma and grandpa." Raziel replied, ducking past Urd.
Catching up with Raziel, she placed her hands to keep him from getting away again. "What do you mean?" Urd asked.
"You don't want to know." Raziel said as he tried to get lose from his mother's grip.
"Come now it can't be that bad?" Urd asked.
"Alright try this on. I walked in on them going at it like a couple of rabbits." Raziel said.
Urd shuttered at the vary thought.
"My poor son, you've been scared for life. Let mommy make it better." Urd said as she hugged Raziel, planting his face right in between her breasts, suffocating him.
Breaking him self from Urd embrace, Raziel stood there gasping for breath. Little did they know Kou had came in to the hall way at a vary bad time.
"I.....I'll get a drank of water later." Kou said he backed in to his room and closed the door.
Raziel stood there with his hands covering his face and shaking his head back and forth. "Look mom, I'm tired. So I'm going to bed, and hopefully I can make it through the night with out any nightmares."
"Nope." Urd said.
"Nope what?" Raziel asked.
"You are going out to get me something. Here you'll need some money. Now I want you to get me..." Urd was cut short by Raziel.
"I know you want some sake. And yes I'll get the good stuff, because if you're liver is going to pay for it; it might as well be trashed by the good stuff." Raziel said as he started his way back to back door.
"Who tough you that?" Urd asked as she fallowed him to the door.
"You did." Raziel replied.
"I need to remember that." Urd said to her self. "Oh and if you happen to find any other reason to spend that money on other then me. It's all right."
"Sounds like a set up." Raziel said.
"What?" Urd asked pointing to her self. "Would I, your carrying, loving mother do that to you?"
"Yes. Yes you would." Raziel said as he stepped out the back door.
When Raziel was out of the temple, Belldandy walked to the door where Urd was looking out the window.
"Was that Raziel?" Belldandy asked.
"Yeah, and I just sent him out. And now I get to this... Raziel has a girlfriend! Raziel has a girlfriend! Raziel has a girlfriend! Raziel has a girlfriend! Raziel has a girlfriend! Raziel has a girlfriend!" Urd said as she danced around the kitchen. Then she came across Kou as he was finally able to get that drink of water he wanted just a minute ago. And started to twarl him around as she danced some more.
"But what if things don't work?" Kou asked as he was about to be spun around again, making Urd stop.
"Don't cut my happiness short kid." Urd said in a dark tone.
"Raziel has a girlfriend! Raziel has a girlfriend! Raziel has a girlfriend! Raziel has a girlfriend! Raziel has a girlfriend! Raziel has a girlfriend!" Urd sung some more as she danced around the kitchen some more.
"But what if it works all too well?" Belldandy asked with a hint of a giggle.
Hearing that Urd stopped dancing and she dropped Kou at the same time. "What do you mean?" Urd asked.
"Well, Raziel is going to be here in our universe for a long time. No?" Belldandy said.
"What about it?" Urd asked.
"Well, what if they get along to well and they have a child, you know that sort of thing is quite common now in days." Belldandy said.
"This is when I leave now." Kou said as he tried to slip out of the room.
"Then that will make you...." Belldandy paused and thought. "Grandma Urd." Belldandy said with a smile.
Hearing the words 'Grandma Urd' Urd just froze in her place, then her age will be out of the question. Numbers would not matter, now she will be known as 'Grandma Urd' that alone would say that she was old.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!" Urd said as she ran to her room, pushing Kou out of her way.
Hearing all the noise, Keiichi looked in to the kitchen.
"What's going on in here?" Keiichi asked.
"Lady Belldandy just cracked a joke on Lady Urd." Kou informed.
"What?" Keiichi said. "You just picked on Urd?"
"Heavens no, I just simply pointed a fact." Belldandy said with a sweet tone.
Kou then covered his mouth and whispered. "She picked on her."
"I didn't!" Belldandy wined.
"It's all right Bell, even you half to have your moment." Keiichi said.
"But I really didn't pick on her." Belldandy said as she fallowed Keiichi back in to the living room.
Meanwhile, just down the street. Raziel placed the bottle of sake on to the counter top in from the elderly store clerk.
"Look at you. Don't you think you're all grown up?" The old lady said.
"It's for my mom." Raziel said, reaching in to his pocket.
"It's all right sonny, I understand." The old lady said.
Just then the door opened, making the small bell at the door ring. Raziel looked over to see who it was.
"Hi Raziel." Yu said. "What are you doing?"
"Wha-What are you doing here?" Raziel asked.
"Me? I'm here for something to eat. What about you." Yu asked then she noticed the bottle.
"Wow, looks like you have good taste." Yu said.
"IT'S NOT FOR ME! IT'S FOR MY MOM!!!" Raziel yelled. "Oops... Umm Miss Urd. It's for miss Urd." It was too late; HE had slipped up and said way too much.
Maybe it was from the bad run in with his grandparents, or the brush with death from the cab driver. But today was not his day.
"What you said 'mom' didn't you?" Yu asked running up to Raziel.
"No I didn't." Raziel said knowing that he was clearly lying.
"You did. You did say mom." Yu said.
Raziel let out a heavy sigh. "Yeah.. I did." Raziel said in an almost a whisper.
"You know, I can see it. Now that you said something." Yu said.
'Mom did say if I find something else better to spend the money one that it would be okay.' Raziel thought to him self.
Raziel looked over at the old store clerk. "Ma'am. Never mind about the sake." Raziel said. Then he looked over at Yu.
"Let's go and find something to do." Raziel asked.
"Really, but I thought your mom Miss Urd wanted her sake. I know how she can get you know." Yu said.
"She doesn't need it. It'll be all right." Raziel said.
"Okay." Yu said as she grabbed on to Raziel's arm.
As Raziel and Yu walked out of the store, they had no idea that a small, yet powerful shadow watched form the roof tops. All it had to do was wait for the right time, and take a body. Watching the two walk around the corner, the shadow sprinted off to the next roof top.

Sitting in their room, Anata tended to her wounds. The white Evangelion apparently had claws.
"Are you all right. That looks really bad." Belldandy asked.
"It's wasn't the first time, nor will it be the last time something gets me like that. I'll live." Anata said as she finished wrapping the dressing around her. "Dose it hurt?" Fiona asked, handing Anata a clasp for the dressing.
"It stings a bit. I've gotten kind of used to things like this." Anata replied. "But one thing is for sure."
"What's that sis?" Fiona asked.
"I won't be wearing any two peace swim suit for a while." Anata said with a smile.
"Well I do know one thing." Fiona said.
"What's that?" Keiichi asked.
"That white Evangelion was strong. It knocked me around and Anata. We need to get Raven and Lyn." Fiona said.
"And in the morning I need to tell Peorth to make sure that my reactors are at one hundred percent." Anata added. "But now I just want to sleep."
