Chapter 21: Several strange twists.
---(Goddess of the Earth Universe)---
After getting a fair amount of distance from Urd, Keiichi and Raziel found a nice little spot to get something to eat at the edge of the campus. As the two had their lunch, the two didn't say much. Picking up his drink, Keiichi looked over at Raziel.
'It's almost a little freaky. He's like looks just like me when I was his age.....' Keiichi thought to him self.
"Umm what is Uncle Keiichi?" Raziel asked breaking Keiichi's train of though.
"What?"
"What is it?" Raziel asked again. "You're giving me a strange look."
"Umm...... Just thinking." Keiichi replied. "So are you and me close or are we kind of distant?"
Taking a bite of his burger, Raziel thought about for a moment. "It's more like an Uncle and Nephew thing I guess."
Again silence as the two had their lunch. Little did they know Urd was watching from across the street.
"Well I guess it's good for those two to get to know each other, I mean Keiichi is Raziel's father after all." Urd said to her self. "I guess my double couldn't have made a better choice to have a child with."
Urd watched as the two male members of the Morisato family have their lunch. Then Urd started to think. "I wonder......." Slowly Urd turned back around and started back to the Temple. But little did everyone know, across town at the vary same park that the Shadow tried to invade Earth, a small black sphere formed. Then quickly it expanded and with a flash of light it disappeared, to reveal Natsuki kneeling down on the ground. Slowly she stood up, the fabric to her skin tight battle suit stretching as she stood. Taking in a deep breath of fresh air, she reached upward stretching. As she black lightning sparked up her arms all the way to her finger tips.
When she was done recovering from her trip, Natsuki looked around and fast found that she was more then a little out of place in her battle suit.
"First thing it first, I need to blind in." Natsuki said out loud to her self. Looking around she saw at the other end of the park was a shopping area.
Walking across the park, Natsuki looked around at the park. "I can almost under stand why my sister defended this world....."
Hearing the doors slid open the store clerk looked up from her desk. There she saw a girl in a skin tight outfit that was rather flattering to her figure.
"Can I help you miss?" the clerk asked.
"I require new cloths." Natsuki replied as she looked around the store.
"Oh I can understand." The clerk said. "Well why don't we look around."
As they walked through the store, Natsuki happened to stop at a display of shoes.
"I will need adequate food ware." Natsuki said blankly.
The clerk looked at the several different pairs of shoes, and then she picked up a pair. "What about this set? It should be vary comfortable for walking around the city."
"I'll be needing something more........ Durable." Natsuki said as she kept on looking at the display. "Something along these lines." She went on to say as she took off the display a set of heavy combat boots.
"Oh I get it you're in to the Goth stuff. I think I have just the things for you." The clerk said as she led Natsuki around the store.

Having just gotten out of their last class of the day Fiona and Anata were making their way out of the school, Anata still thinking what Kou had said to her.
"I wonder what Kou meant by what he said?" Anata asked her self out loud.
"Why don't you just ask him?" Fiona replied not knowing that Anata was just thinking out loud.
"What?" Anata asked.
"Why don't you just ask him?" Fiona said again.
"He won't tell me." Anata replied. "I've tried."
As they kept on walking through the school Fiona stopped at a water fountain. As she got her self something to drink, she had an idea. "Why don't we ask around?" She asked before getting a sip of water.
"Who do we ask then?" Anata asked back. "I mean the topic of Kou isn't one that many demons will talk about. They get all quite when he's around."
"What about that Rei girl, she seemed to know Kou well." Fiona asked.
"I think I just might do that." Anata replied. "Why don't you and Lyn go and have some alone time and I'll go and talk to Rei."
"What do you mean by alone time?" Fiona asked.
"You know. 'Alone time'" Anata replied with a huge grin.
"WHAT?!" Fiona screamed. "I don't know what you're talking about." Fiona said as she turned around and started for the door to the school.
"Oh come on, you two so need it." Anata said back as she chased after her sister. "When was the last time you two went out on your own?"
Fiona froze after hearing the question. Anata, her sister was right. She and Lyn hasn't been out for a while, slowly she turned back around. "You won't get mad?"
"What, of course not." Anata replied. "I would understand I mean Kou and I would go out just about every other night and sometimes we...... Never mind what we do sometimes. I'm talking about you and Lyn."
"You sure?" Fiona asked.
"I'll even cover for you with mom and dad. If you two stay out late." Anata added.
"But you can't lie." Fiona reminded Anata. "Because if mom catches you in a lie, there's no telling what she'll do."
"She might get Aunt Urd to tickle me to get info out of me but, there's always ways around the rules." Anata said. "Trust me it's okay, really I'll be fine."
Smiling, Fiona rushed up to Anata and hugged her. "Thanks sis." Then Fiona ran down through the halls of the school looking for Lyn. Smiling to her self, Anata walked out of the school and looked around. There with another group of Demons, stood Rei.
Walking up to the young demon, Anata approached her. "Rei I need to talk to you." Anata said making the girl turn around.
"What is it?" Rei asked back quickly, not wanting to show any softness around any other demons.
"I need you to ask you something about Kou." Anata said. Then she watched as Rei and the other demons around fell silent, like she had said something forbidden. "What I say?"
"What's your question, we'll try to answer it." Rei said, not noticing that the other demons she was talking to has carefully walked away from the two of them.
"We might want to go someplace else. It seems that I'm making some of you a little uncomfortable." Anata said.
Looking around Rei found that she was left alone with the Anata. "To be truthful, you're making me a little uncomfortable too."
"Okay let's go to my place." Anata said, but only got a nod from Rei.

Slumped over the counter top to the cash register, with blood dripping from her forehead, was the store clerk. Just then Natsuki walked out of the store, the bright sun light blinding her. Shielding her eyes Natsuki looked around getting her barring. "Now Yggdrasil, prepare you self. I'm coming now." Natsuki said as she turned for a train station.
Back at the temple, Kou sat at a computer typing a vary long passionate letter to Anata, leaning back to gather more thoughts he heard the phone ring. Reaching over to the phone there at the computer desk he answered it.
"Hello, Morisato residence." He greeted.
"Kou we've got troubles, there's something forcing it way through the mirror teleportation system." Peorth shouted over the phone, trying the make her self heard over the alarms going off around her.
"And why are you calling me?" Kou asked.
"Because it has a Shadow signature." Peorth replied. "We have programs up and running to slow it down, but there's something strange it power reading is the negative of what Anata's power reading is. Do you know what's going on?"
Kou just sat there, two emotions came through him. Fear and Hate. Fear for what Anata's double Natsuki was going to do and hate of the shadows. "Peorth, I will be coming there to Yggdrasil through the living room TV here, I need you to have me come back through one of the system screens in Anata's reactor room." Kou said then not even hanging up the phone he ran to his room, and grabbed his staff and ran to the living room where Belldandy and Skuld were watching some soap opera.
Turning around just in time to see the young god run in to the room, Belldandy and Skuld watched as Kou ran up to the TV and kneeled down in front of it. "Kou? What's the matter?" Belldandy asked. But she got no answer; Kou placed his hand on to the TV screen and was sucked in to it. Belldandy and Skuld just looked at each other.
"What was that about?" Skuld asked.
"I don't know....." Belldandy replied. Getting up from the couch, Belldandy went in to the study where Kou was on the computer. Seeing the letter on the screen she minimized the vary personal letter just as she was about to leave the room when she saw the phone off the hook. Picking up the phone she started to hear the alarms on the other end of the phone. Putting the phone up to her ear, Belldandy listened in to what was going on.
Up in Yggdrasil Peorth watched as system after system went off line. "Chrono, Send anyone you can get hold of to the central hub, I don't want what ever that is coming through getting any further then the central hub." Peorth ordered.
"Right."
"Ex! Make sure that Kou is reroughted to a screen in Anata's reactor room." Peorth yelled.
"Ma'am, the unknown will arrive in approximately fifteen seconds, But Kou will get here in forty five seconds." Ex stated.
"Just make it happen." Peorth said back. 'Something tells me that this is not going to come out good in the end.' Peorth thought to her self.
In the central hub, god and goddesses flooded the room, all of them taking what ever cover they can find waiting for what ever was going to come through the mirror to come through. Just then at a large mirror, black lightning started to dance across the reflective surface. Then the unknown shot out of the Mirror, skidding to a stop on the marble floor. Thinking that the girl in front of them was Anata, everyone lowered their guard. Then the girl faced the great mirror, the pool of water and the large TV screen. Making a fist the girl punched the mirror making it shatter in to a million peaces, every God and Goddess stood there in shock. As they watched the girl turn to the TV screen and ripped it off of its mountings making it fall to the ground.
Seeing that the Goddess in front of them was not Anata, a God shouted. "Stop her!!! Fire!!!"
Then volley after volley of force bolt was fired at Natsuki, each bolt was absorbed by a field of energy that surrounded the girl. Slowly turning Natsuki looked over at the pool of water and fired a force bolt, blasting the pool in to little more then steam, then she turned back to the TV on the ground that she had just tipped over and fired an other bolt, blowing the screen in to little more then a smoldering hole in the ground. Then she turned to the gods and goddesses. Seeing all the force bolts still being fired at her.
"Run while you can!!" Natsuki yelled just before she swung her arm making a shock wave that knocked a small group of gods and goddesses over.
Amongst that group of gods and goddesses was Hara. Laying there on the ground the young god and friend of Anata and Kou forced him self back up to his feet. Drawing his sword he charged right at Natsuki. Turning back around just in time to see the god running at her with a sword, Natsuki cough the god blade with her bare hand. Hara was shocked that she was able to see the attach, then what he saw next surprised him. Slowly Natsuki gripped on to the sword, cutting up her hand as she did. Both Natsuki and Hara watched as the blood dripped down the blade. Then she took her other hand and lifted the sword along with Hara up in to the air. The swing the sword as she held on to the blade, she sent the young god flying across the room in to the wall making it crumble from the impact. Then with a flip of her wrist she flipped the sword back around and took it by the grip. Then looking over at a large support column. Then with her right bloodied hand. She fired an energy beam at the base making it weak. Then rushing the column she started to make it fall over. As the column fell to the ground it sent a plum of dust through out Yggdrasil.
Back on earth as Belldandy listened to the events taking place in Yggdrasil, she was just about to call out to Peorth but static broke the line.
"We need to get someone over to Yggdrasil......" Belldandy said to her self.
Across Town, Keiichi and Raziel were just finishing with their lunch, when Keiichi's cell phone went off. Pulling it out of his pocket, Keiichi looked at the called ID.
"It's home. Should we answer it?" He asked looking at Raziel.
"Mom isn't the type to just call.... Umm you might want to answer it." Raziel replied.
Answering the phone, Keiichi didn't ever have a chance to say hello.
"Keiichi you need to get Raziel home!" Belldandy said quickly from the other end of the phone.
"Wow Slow down Belldandy. What was that again?" Keiichi asked, trying to figure what his wife was going on about.
"Something is going on at Yggdrasil. It sounds like a battle. Urd, Skuld and my self are heading there now. Raziel should join us." Belldandy explained in more detail.
Nodding Keiichi looked over at Raziel. "Okay Belldandy I'll get him home. Just wait for him. I don't want you three going there with going there with out Raziel."
Watching his uncle hang up the cell phone, Raziel gave a questioning look. "What's up Uncle Keiichi?"
"Something going on at Yggdrasil, something big, and I need to get you back home to go with Belldandy your mother and aunt Skuld." Keiichi replied as he handed Raziel his helmet.
Up in Yggdrasil, the fighting went on, as Natsuki made her way to the reactors. Little did she know, Kou was standing just on the other side of the doors to the reactor room, with his staff still folded up and in his palm.
"She will not pass me....." Kou whispered to him self.
Just then the great wood doors to the reactor room blew out making a cloud of dust and smoke. Slowly Natsuki stepped in to the room first her glowing red eyes showing then the out line of her body then she walked out from the smoke. Looking around the room, she placed the dull side of the sword she took from Hara on to her shoulder.
"Damn I was hoping for more of a fight...... What's this?" Natsuki asked her self out loud as she seen Kou standing there before her.
"I am the personal guardian of the one that these reactors belong to. And the one that will stop you." Kou replied, then pushing the button to his staff it unfolded.
Natsuki then realized who was in front of her. "You must be Kou, All I have are memories of you. But this will be the first time I've ever seen you." Natsuki said.
"Those memories are not belong to you. They belong to Anata!" Kou yelled then placed him self in to stance.
"The last god that tried to fight me I took this from him...." Natsuki said as brandished the sword that belongs to Hara.
"Hara.... What did you do to my friend?!" Kou shouted demanding an answer.
"So you know him....." Natsuki asked back not sounding like she cared.
"What happened to him?" Kou said as he clenched his teeth and gripped his staff even tighter.
"Oh the last I saw of him, I sent him flying across the room I teleported in to....." Natsuki replied. "And something tells me that our fight will last just as fast as I dealt your friend."
Not wanting to here another word, Kou charged right up to Natsuki as fast as he could. Natsuki was a little surprised at the speed that the young god came at her, but was able to counter his attack. Natsuki's sword and Kou's staff met in a loud cling.
Back on earth, Keiichi and Raziel was just rounding the last turn to get to the temple, as they approached the entrance to the temple, they found that Belldandy, Urd and Skuld waiting for them. Parking there at on the side of the street. Raziel jumped out of the side car.
"What's going on?" Raziel asked.
"Something's going on at Yggdrasil. Kou's gone there already, but we haven't heard from him." Skuld replied.
"So come on lets get going." Urd said.
Once inside, the three goddesses went to where they can teleport back to Yggdrasil. Belldandy went in to the bathroom and started to lean in to the mirror.
THUD!!
"Ouch..." Belldandy moaned as she rubbed her head. "The mirror... It's not working."
SPLASH!!
"The water it's cold!!" Skuld wined as she sat there in the tub.
But out in the living room, Urd and Raziel stood there arguing about who was going first through the TV.
"No I'm going first." Urd said as she pulled Raziel back from the TV.
"I don't think that it's that big of a deal. I mean I've been agents worst. And it's really probably nothing." Raziel said as he started for the TV.
"No, I'm your mother, and I'll go first. And besides isn't ladies first anyways?" Urd said as she pulled Raziel away from the TV again.
"Well I guess your right.... " Raziel said, But as Urd was about to go to the TV. But just before Urd was able to go through the TV, Raziel grabbed his mother's arm and pulled her back. And jumped in to the TV. But as he did the TV went blank.
"I can't believe that my own son did that!" Urd yelled.
THUD!
"Ouch!! Damn it he even broke the TV too!" Urd yelled from there on the floor rubbing her head.
Back up at Yggdrasil Kou and Natsuki were still fighting it out in front of the four reactors.
"You're not worthy to bare the likeness of Anata, nor carry that sword." Kou said as he faced Natsuki in the eyes from the other side of his staff.
Hearing what the god said, Natsuki took a step back. "You think I need this sword to beat you?" Natsuki asked.
Kou didn't answer, all he did was ready him self for what Natsuki was about to do. Natsuki looked at the sword in her hands and back at Kou. Throwing the sword off to her side, Kou watched as his friend's sword went flying through the air and drive itself in to the hard marble floor.
"I'll use the same style I used against my dear sister." Natsuki said then she started to swing her arms in a motion that Kou had never seen before, it was a fighting style Kou was sure of that one. "Its called Pi Qua Quan. I used it against my sister and it was quite effective."
"Do not call her your sister!!" Kou yelled again, running at Natsuki.
But Natsuki's moves were swift and precise; all of Kou's attacks were rather blocked or evaded. But just as Natsuki finished a move, Kou cough sight of an opening. Taking the chance, Kou swung the staff aiming for the side of Natsuki's chest.
Seeing the staff coming at her, Natsuki cough it with both hands. Both her and Kou looked at each other, Natsuki's gripped tightened slightly bending Kou's staff.
"Nice try....." Natsuki said. Then through her hands, a surged of black lightning sparked. Kou tightened his grip. But as the power in the lightning increased smoke started to rise from his had then the pain became too great.
"AAAHHH!!!" Kou screamed out, as he let go of the staff.
"Just as I thought....." Natsuki said as she tossed Kou's staff off to the side.
"I too am skilled in other fighting styles...." Kou said just before he swung his fist at Natsuki, but it was only cough by her.
"But I am faster." Natsuki said just as she tightened her grip on to Kou's fist, breaking it.
Dropping to the ground holding his hand close to his body. Natsuki then turned back facing the four reactors and started to walk to them.
"Stay away from those!" Kou yelled but Natsuki didn't even listen to him.
Walking up the closest reactor. Grabbing on to an access panel, she ripped if off throwing it to the side. Aiming her arm at the exposed components Natsuki fired a force bolt in to the inner workings of a reactor; bring it to a grinding holt.
"I said stay away from those!!!!!"
Aiming his good arm at Natsuki, Kou fired a force bolt that was stronger then he would fire normally. As it hit Natsuki the force bolt make her stumble.
Slowly she turned to Kou as he tried to get up off the ground. "You will pay for that..." Natsuki said as she aimed her arm at Kou. Firing a beam of energy at the god, Kou only had a second to react bringing a shield up, but the force by the blast was still strong enough to launch him across the room. Slamming in to a wall, Kou slid to the ground. Walking up to Kou, Natsuki grabbed Kou by his neck and lifted him up off the ground, bringing him up so he may face her.
"Put him down."
Still holding Kou by the neck Natsuki looked behind her. There was Raziel already in his Evangelion form.
"So you are my brother...... Interesting..... Too say the least." Natsuki said as she looked Raziel over. Then dropping Kou she turned to fully face Raziel.
"This here, dose not concern you, so go back to Earth and wait for when I come for you." Natsuki said.
"I can't do that. This seems to be a family matter and the last time I checked I was part of this family." Raziel said, then he placed him self in to a stance. Natsuki smirked.
"I see you want a fight.... " Clenching both her hands into fists, forcing serge of energy to show. "Vary well come at me!"
Charging at Natsuki, Raziel was ready for a quick battle, but just before he was about to meet Natsuki she vanished. Sliding to a stop, Raziel looked around trying to find Natsuki.
"Where'd she go?!" He yelled.
Still on the ground in pain, Kou looked up just in time to see Natsuki reappear high up in the air.
"Above you!" Kou yelled. But the warning came too late.
Just as quickly as Natsuki was able to reappear, she forced her self to the ground at an impressive speed. Hitting the ground hard enough to crack the marble floor, but not having enough time to react Raziel took a step back. But Natsuki quickly punched Raziel right in to armored chest, making it dent and warp. Clasping his chest in pain, Natsuki grabbed both of Raziel's arms and forced her self to fall backwards; during the fall she took her right foot and placed it on to Raziel's chest and with all her strength Natsuki threw Raziel across the reactor room in one dramatic flipping movement. As Raziel hit the ground he lifts a scrape in the thick marble floor.
Natsuki then again started for the remaining three reactors. Walking up to the next closest reactor, Natsuki grabbed on to the massive device and started to pull at it, and rocking it back and forth until the stands to it started to give way. Then giving it one last push, Natsuki knocked over the reactor making it fall over on to the reactor directly behind it, destroying two reactors at once. Then just as she was going for the last reactor, Natsuki started to feel a power that she has never felt before. Turning back around her for that Raziel was standing back up and with some type of cross emulated behind him. She watched as beams fired from each end of the cross, but being able to see the beams coming, Natsuki had just enough to dodge three out of the four beams, but the fourth grazed her shoulder making her spin around and hit the ground with a thud.
Raziel then slowly and cautiously approached the fallen girl, ready for anything that she might do. With each step Raziel took his metal boots to his Evangelion form cracked the flooring. Hearing Natsuki moan, Raziel stopped ready for anything. Watching Natsuki slowly get back up to her feet, her left hand covering her shoulder and she bled out from wound.
"Hear this good Brother. Watch your self I will strike you at you weakest point!" Natsuki yelled as she pointed at Raziel with the hand that was covering the damage that Raziel had inflected. Then with a flash two desks of light formed above Natsuki and below her, as they closed in on her she vanished in a bright almost blinding flash of light.
When Natsuki was gone Raziel changed back to his normal form and quickly fell to her knees grabbing his chest at the vary spot that Natsuki had punched him. After catching his breath, he looked over at Kou who was curled up on the floor of the reactor room mumbling something to him self. Limping over to his friend, Raziel kneeled down to Kou.
"Are you alright?" He asked quietly.
At first there was no answer from Kou, just his mumbling. "Are..... Are you alright?" Raziel asked again.
Kou whipped his eyes with his good hand, before making him self sit up his hair slightly covering his eyes. "I..... I failed of protect her.... When she needed me the most and when she wasn't even here." Kou said silently, then balling his good hand up in to a fist..... "DAMN IT!!" punching a tile to the marble floor, it shattered making Kou's one good hand start to bleed. Blood slowly started to spread out shattered marble.
"So what if Anata's reactors get blown up." Raziel stated. "If she goes back to being normal, will that make you love her less?"
Kou looked up at Raziel and rested his battered hand on to Raziel's shoulder. "You don't understand. Anata and the reactors are one. If something happens to the reactors, if they're all destroyed, she will die if she returns back to this universe before they are repaired."
"What do you mean?" Raziel asked as he helped Kou back to his feet.
"Like you, your mother, Lady Belldandy and Lady Skuld and my self we are all connected to Yggdrasil. But Anata, she is to these reactors, she draws her power from then. Just like you and my get out power from Yggdrasil." Kou replied.
Raziel looked back up to the one remaining reactor. "We need to stop her....."
---(Son of Urd Universe)---
Meanwhile, Anata unaware of what had taken place back at her own universe and still firmly connected to the reactors there in the universe she currently lives. She and Rei had just stepped foot on the temple ground as they walked further on to the grounds. Rei shivered.
"You didn't tell me that you lived on some holy grounds." Rei said as she looked around.
"You didn't ask why that is a problem?" Anata asked back.
"Hello. Look I'm evil. And this will be a temple!" Rei shouted. "Yeah there is a problem!"
"Big deal. I'll just ask you now then." Anata said as she turned to Rei. "What's in Kou's past that eating at him. He said something about helping me is all the pay he needs." Anata said. "Now just what the hell dose that mean?"
Rei took a deep breath then she looked up to the sky, thinking for a moment. Then she looked back at Anata. "A couple years ago, he was sent here to earth to put a curse on a girl."
"Okay...."
"Well he couldn't. The story goes that he fell in love with that human girl, and even went as far as to become a rouge demon just to be with her. Well a month in to their romance they became lovers but it would not last." Rei explained.
"What happened?" Anata asked, getting in to the story.
"Nefleim found him. His punishment was to erase the girl's memory and he was forbidden to ever see her again. On top of this he was sent to the lunar prison for a year as a rock." Rei said.
"Who was this girl?" Anata asked.
"I don't know there are only three demons that know the answer to that one, Kou, Lady Mara and Her Majesty Queen Hild." Rei replied. "Now can I please get out of here this place is really getting to me."
"One more question." Anata said before Rei started to walk away.
"What is it?" She asked.
"Why dose he act differently around me?" Anata asked.
"I don't know... Maybe you remind him of her?" Rei replied. "Now can I go?"
"Sure talk you ya Monday?" Anata asked.
"Yeah, Yeah what ever." Rei said replied as she quickly made her way off the temple grounds. Watching her new friend leave, Anata went on in side the temple. Once inside, Anata happened to walk past her father as he sat in the kitchen in front a computer.
"Hi dad, what are you doing?" Anata asked as she opened the fridge looking for something to drink.
"Oh just going over something's for work.... How was you and Fiona's day at school?" Keiichi asked looking up from the computer. "By the way where is Fiona?"
Taking a can of juice out of the fridge, she looked back at her father. "She had to do something's after school."
"Did she? Umm Okay....." Keiichi said as he went back to his work. "What about you? What are you going to do?"
"Me?" She asked pointing at her self. "I don't know... sit around and be board I guess, I might get the news paper and see if I can find a job."
"A Job, where did you work before you came here?" Keiichi asked.
"I worked for Chihiro at whirlwind, but I don't know what I'm going to do while I'm here." Anata replied.
"With Chihiro? Maybe I can set you up with a job with her here. What did you do for her?" Keiichi asked.
"I took orders from customers and even sometimes, depending what part it is I install performance parts on to cars and motorcycles."
Again looking up from his work, Keiichi gave Anata a questioning look. "So I tough you how to ride a motorcycle in your universe, what do you ride?"
"On my sixteenth birthday, you gave me a BMW K1, and then later on we replaced the motor from my bike with a motor from a K1000." Anata replied.
"Okay I'll tell you what I need to stop by whirlwind to get something for my bike, why don't we talk to Chihiro then?" Keiichi asked.
"Sure thing. I can use the work; I do need to get more cloths I don't want to keep on bumming money off of you." Anata said.
"It's no problem, just give me a couple minutes and we're go and take care of that." Keiichi said as he tried to finish his work.
"Okay." Anata said, and then she walked out of the kitchen and started fro her room. Along the way she happened to pass her mother.
"Anata dear, where is Fiona?" Belldandy asked.
"Oh she had something to do.... " Anata replied hoping that her mom wouldn't ask any more.
"Where at?" Belldandy asked going back to line of questioning.
"Look mom I know I cant lie, but I can just not answer. You know it's the covering up for your sister thing, I'm sure that you can under stand that." Anata said hoping that would stop the questioning.
Kneeling down, Belldandy placed her hand on to Anata's shoulder. "I can understand that as being a sister myself. I've had to cover up for Urd more then one time." Belldandy said, but just when Anata thought that she was in the clear her mother's expression darkened slightly. "But I am a mother first."
"Wh.... What are you going to do?" Anata asked as she back away.
"Urd... Oh Urd?" Belldandy called for her elder sister.
Urd then floated in to the hall, looking like that she had just been pulled from a TV show. "Yeah Bell, what is it?"
"Urd can you please use your method of integration......" Belldandy said.
"Oh fun, fun. Do you want me to use my fingers of the feather?" Urd asked a she slowly approached Anata.
"The feather...... at first." Belldandy replied as she looked over at Anata seeing her sweat.
"Okay! Okay! I'll tell you! She's with Lyn!!!" Anata yelled in fear what her mother and aunt Urd was going to do. "Damn... Look I told her to go out, she and Lyn needed the time together. You know alone time. She and Lyn needed a night with out me tagging along. You can understand that right?"
"Later on when you and your father return, you will call them and check up on them." Belldandy said.
"Alright... Wow mom, I'm glad that you don't do that sort of method of getting info from me back in my reality." Anata remarked.
"Anata you ready?" Keiichi called from the other room unaware of what was going on.
"Uh... Yeah dad coming!" Anata called back then she went with Keiichi to whirlwind.
Once Keiichi and Anata were gone Urd looked over at Belldandy. "You know Anata and Fiona have become close, like you and I have become."
"Yes, this is a good thing for both Fiona and Anata." Belldandy replied back. "Have you sent a letter to Raziel?"
"Yeah, I sent it but it takes some time to get to that other universe." Urd replied.
"That's good.... You're still worried about him are you?" Belldandy asked.
"Well yeah, would you be worried for Fiona if she was taken to another universe?" Urd asked back, to only get a nod from her sister. "I just hope that he's doing alright....."

Chapter 21: Several strange twists.
---(Goddess of the Earth Universe)---
After getting a fair amount of distance from Urd, Keiichi and Raziel found a nice little spot to get something to eat at the edge of the campus. As the two had their lunch, the two didn't say much. Picking up his drink, Keiichi looked over at Raziel.
'It's almost a little freaky. He's like looks just like me when I was his age.....' Keiichi thought to him self.
"Umm what is Uncle Keiichi?" Raziel asked breaking Keiichi's train of though.
"What?"
"What is it?" Raziel asked again. "You're giving me a strange look."
"Umm...... Just thinking." Keiichi replied. "So are you and me close or are we kind of distant?"
Taking a bite of his burger, Raziel thought about for a moment. "It's more like an Uncle and Nephew thing I guess."
Again silence as the two had their lunch. Little did they know Urd was watching from across the street.
"Well I guess it's good for those two to get to know each other, I mean Keiichi is Raziel's father after all." Urd said to her self. "I guess my double couldn't have made a better choice to have a child with."
Urd watched as the two male members of the Morisato family have their lunch. Then Urd started to think. "I wonder......." Slowly Urd turned back around and started back to the Temple. But little did everyone know, across town at the vary same park that the Shadow tried to invade Earth, a small black sphere formed. Then quickly it expanded and with a flash of light it disappeared, to reveal Natsuki kneeling down on the ground. Slowly she stood up, the fabric to her skin tight battle suit stretching as she stood. Taking in a deep breath of fresh air, she reached upward stretching. As she black lightning sparked up her arms all the way to her finger tips.
When she was done recovering from her trip, Natsuki looked around and fast found that she was more then a little out of place in her battle suit.
"First thing it first, I need to blind in." Natsuki said out loud to her self. Looking around she saw at the other end of the park was a shopping area.
Walking across the park, Natsuki looked around at the park. "I can almost under stand why my sister defended this world....."
Hearing the doors slid open the store clerk looked up from her desk. There she saw a girl in a skin tight outfit that was rather flattering to her figure.
"Can I help you miss?" the clerk asked.
"I require new cloths." Natsuki replied as she looked around the store.
"Oh I can understand." The clerk said. "Well why don't we look around."
As they walked through the store, Natsuki happened to stop at a display of shoes.
"I will need adequate food ware." Natsuki said blankly.
The clerk looked at the several different pairs of shoes, and then she picked up a pair. "What about this set? It should be vary comfortable for walking around the city."
"I'll be needing something more........ Durable." Natsuki said as she kept on looking at the display. "Something along these lines." She went on to say as she took off the display a set of heavy combat boots.
"Oh I get it you're in to the Goth stuff. I think I have just the things for you." The clerk said as she led Natsuki around the store.
---(Son Of Urd Universe)---
Having just gotten out of their last class of the day Fiona and Anata were making their way out of the school, Anata still thinking what Kou had said to her.
"I wonder what Kou meant by what he said?" Anata asked her self out loud.
"Why don't you just ask him?" Fiona replied not knowing that Anata was just thinking out loud.
"What?" Anata asked.
"Why don't you just ask him?" Fiona said again.
"He won't tell me." Anata replied. "I've tried."
As they kept on walking through the school Fiona stopped at a water fountain. As she got her self something to drink, she had an idea. "Why don't we ask around?" She asked before getting a sip of water.
"Who do we ask then?" Anata asked back. "I mean the topic of Kou isn't one that many demons will talk about. They get all quite when he's around."
"What about that Rei girl, she seemed to know Kou well." Fiona asked.
"I think I just might do that." Anata replied. "Why don't you and Lyn go and have some alone time and I'll go and talk to Rei."
"What do you mean by alone time?" Fiona asked.
"You know. 'Alone time'" Anata replied with a huge grin.
"WHAT?!" Fiona screamed. "I don't know what you're talking about." Fiona said as she turned around and started for the door to the school.
"Oh come on, you two so need it." Anata said back as she chased after her sister. "When was the last time you two went out on your own?"
Fiona froze after hearing the question. Anata, her sister was right. She and Lyn hasn't been out for a while, slowly she turned back around. "You won't get mad?"
"What, of course not." Anata replied. "I would understand I mean Kou and I would go out just about every other night and sometimes we...... Never mind what we do sometimes. I'm talking about you and Lyn."
"You sure?" Fiona asked.
"I'll even cover for you with mom and dad. If you two stay out late." Anata added.
"But you can't lie." Fiona reminded Anata. "Because if mom catches you in a lie, there's no telling what she'll do."
"She might get Aunt Urd to tickle me to get info out of me but, there's always ways around the rules." Anata said. "Trust me it's okay, really I'll be fine."
Smiling, Fiona rushed up to Anata and hugged her. "Thanks sis." Then Fiona ran down through the halls of the school looking for Lyn. Smiling to her self, Anata walked out of the school and looked around. There with another group of Demons, stood Rei.
Walking up to the young demon, Anata approached her. "Rei I need to talk to you." Anata said making the girl turn around.
"What is it?" Rei asked back quickly, not wanting to show any softness around any other demons.
"I need you to ask you something about Kou." Anata said. Then she watched as Rei and the other demons around fell silent, like she had said something forbidden. "What I say?"
"What's your question, we'll try to answer it." Rei said, not noticing that the other demons she was talking to has carefully walked away from the two of them.
"We might want to go someplace else. It seems that I'm making some of you a little uncomfortable." Anata said.
Looking around Rei found that she was left alone with the Anata. "To be truthful, you're making me a little uncomfortable too."
"Okay let's go to my place." Anata said, but only got a nod from Rei.
---(Goddess of the Earth Universe)---
Slumped over the counter top to the cash register, with blood dripping from her forehead, was the store clerk. Just then Natsuki walked out of the store, the bright sun light blinding her. Shielding her eyes Natsuki looked around getting her barring. "Now Yggdrasil, prepare you self. I'm coming now." Natsuki said as she turned for a train station.
Back at the temple, Kou sat at a computer typing a vary long passionate letter to Anata, leaning back to gather more thoughts he heard the phone ring. Reaching over to the phone there at the computer desk he answered it.
"Hello, Morisato residence." He greeted.
"Kou we've got troubles, there's something forcing it way through the mirror teleportation system." Peorth shouted over the phone, trying the make her self heard over the alarms going off around her.
"And why are you calling me?" Kou asked.
"Because it has a Shadow signature." Peorth replied. "We have programs up and running to slow it down, but there's something strange it power reading is the negative of what Anata's power reading is. Do you know what's going on?"
Kou just sat there, two emotions came through him. Fear and Hate. Fear for what Anata's double Natsuki was going to do and hate of the shadows. "Peorth, I will be coming there to Yggdrasil through the living room TV here, I need you to have me come back through one of the system screens in Anata's reactor room." Kou said then not even hanging up the phone he ran to his room, and grabbed his staff and ran to the living room where Belldandy and Skuld were watching some soap opera.
Turning around just in time to see the young god run in to the room, Belldandy and Skuld watched as Kou ran up to the TV and kneeled down in front of it. "Kou? What's the matter?" Belldandy asked. But she got no answer; Kou placed his hand on to the TV screen and was sucked in to it. Belldandy and Skuld just looked at each other.
"What was that about?" Skuld asked.
"I don't know....." Belldandy replied. Getting up from the couch, Belldandy went in to the study where Kou was on the computer. Seeing the letter on the screen she minimized the vary personal letter just as she was about to leave the room when she saw the phone off the hook. Picking up the phone she started to hear the alarms on the other end of the phone. Putting the phone up to her ear, Belldandy listened in to what was going on.
Up in Yggdrasil Peorth watched as system after system went off line. "Chrono, Send anyone you can get hold of to the central hub, I don't want what ever that is coming through getting any further then the central hub." Peorth ordered.
"Right."
"Ex! Make sure that Kou is reroughted to a screen in Anata's reactor room." Peorth yelled.
"Ma'am, the unknown will arrive in approximately fifteen seconds, But Kou will get here in forty five seconds." Ex stated.
"Just make it happen." Peorth said back. 'Something tells me that this is not going to come out good in the end.' Peorth thought to her self.
In the central hub, god and goddesses flooded the room, all of them taking what ever cover they can find waiting for what ever was going to come through the mirror to come through. Just then at a large mirror, black lightning started to dance across the reflective surface. Then the unknown shot out of the Mirror, skidding to a stop on the marble floor. Thinking that the girl in front of them was Anata, everyone lowered their guard. Then the girl faced the great mirror, the pool of water and the large TV screen. Making a fist the girl punched the mirror making it shatter in to a million peaces, every God and Goddess stood there in shock. As they watched the girl turn to the TV screen and ripped it off of its mountings making it fall to the ground.
Seeing that the Goddess in front of them was not Anata, a God shouted. "Stop her!!! Fire!!!"
Then volley after volley of force bolt was fired at Natsuki, each bolt was absorbed by a field of energy that surrounded the girl. Slowly turning Natsuki looked over at the pool of water and fired a force bolt, blasting the pool in to little more then steam, then she turned back to the TV on the ground that she had just tipped over and fired an other bolt, blowing the screen in to little more then a smoldering hole in the ground. Then she turned to the gods and goddesses. Seeing all the force bolts still being fired at her.
"Run while you can!!" Natsuki yelled just before she swung her arm making a shock wave that knocked a small group of gods and goddesses over.
Amongst that group of gods and goddesses was Hara. Laying there on the ground the young god and friend of Anata and Kou forced him self back up to his feet. Drawing his sword he charged right at Natsuki. Turning back around just in time to see the god running at her with a sword, Natsuki cough the god blade with her bare hand. Hara was shocked that she was able to see the attach, then what he saw next surprised him. Slowly Natsuki gripped on to the sword, cutting up her hand as she did. Both Natsuki and Hara watched as the blood dripped down the blade. Then she took her other hand and lifted the sword along with Hara up in to the air. The swing the sword as she held on to the blade, she sent the young god flying across the room in to the wall making it crumble from the impact. Then with a flip of her wrist she flipped the sword back around and took it by the grip. Then looking over at a large support column. Then with her right bloodied hand. She fired an energy beam at the base making it weak. Then rushing the column she started to make it fall over. As the column fell to the ground it sent a plum of dust through out Yggdrasil.
Back on earth as Belldandy listened to the events taking place in Yggdrasil, she was just about to call out to Peorth but static broke the line.
"We need to get someone over to Yggdrasil......" Belldandy said to her self.
Across Town, Keiichi and Raziel were just finishing with their lunch, when Keiichi's cell phone went off. Pulling it out of his pocket, Keiichi looked at the called ID.
"It's home. Should we answer it?" He asked looking at Raziel.
"Mom isn't the type to just call.... Umm you might want to answer it." Raziel replied.
Answering the phone, Keiichi didn't ever have a chance to say hello.
"Keiichi you need to get Raziel home!" Belldandy said quickly from the other end of the phone.
"Wow Slow down Belldandy. What was that again?" Keiichi asked, trying to figure what his wife was going on about.
"Something is going on at Yggdrasil. It sounds like a battle. Urd, Skuld and my self are heading there now. Raziel should join us." Belldandy explained in more detail.
Nodding Keiichi looked over at Raziel. "Okay Belldandy I'll get him home. Just wait for him. I don't want you three going there with going there with out Raziel."
Watching his uncle hang up the cell phone, Raziel gave a questioning look. "What's up Uncle Keiichi?"
"Something going on at Yggdrasil, something big, and I need to get you back home to go with Belldandy your mother and aunt Skuld." Keiichi replied as he handed Raziel his helmet.
Up in Yggdrasil, the fighting went on, as Natsuki made her way to the reactors. Little did she know, Kou was standing just on the other side of the doors to the reactor room, with his staff still folded up and in his palm.
"She will not pass me....." Kou whispered to him self.
Just then the great wood doors to the reactor room blew out making a cloud of dust and smoke. Slowly Natsuki stepped in to the room first her glowing red eyes showing then the out line of her body then she walked out from the smoke. Looking around the room, she placed the dull side of the sword she took from Hara on to her shoulder.
"Damn I was hoping for more of a fight...... What's this?" Natsuki asked her self out loud as she seen Kou standing there before her.
"I am the personal guardian of the one that these reactors belong to. And the one that will stop you." Kou replied, then pushing the button to his staff it unfolded.
Natsuki then realized who was in front of her. "You must be Kou, All I have are memories of you. But this will be the first time I've ever seen you." Natsuki said.
"Those memories are not belong to you. They belong to Anata!" Kou yelled then placed him self in to stance.
"The last god that tried to fight me I took this from him...." Natsuki said as brandished the sword that belongs to Hara.
"Hara.... What did you do to my friend?!" Kou shouted demanding an answer.
"So you know him....." Natsuki asked back not sounding like she cared.
"What happened to him?" Kou said as he clenched his teeth and gripped his staff even tighter.
"Oh the last I saw of him, I sent him flying across the room I teleported in to....." Natsuki replied. "And something tells me that our fight will last just as fast as I dealt your friend."
Not wanting to here another word, Kou charged right up to Natsuki as fast as he could. Natsuki was a little surprised at the speed that the young god came at her, but was able to counter his attack. Natsuki's sword and Kou's staff met in a loud cling.
Back on earth, Keiichi and Raziel was just rounding the last turn to get to the temple, as they approached the entrance to the temple, they found that Belldandy, Urd and Skuld waiting for them. Parking there at on the side of the street. Raziel jumped out of the side car.
"What's going on?" Raziel asked.
"Something's going on at Yggdrasil. Kou's gone there already, but we haven't heard from him." Skuld replied.
"So come on lets get going." Urd said.
Once inside, the three goddesses went to where they can teleport back to Yggdrasil. Belldandy went in to the bathroom and started to lean in to the mirror.
THUD!!
"Ouch..." Belldandy moaned as she rubbed her head. "The mirror... It's not working."
SPLASH!!
"The water it's cold!!" Skuld wined as she sat there in the tub.
But out in the living room, Urd and Raziel stood there arguing about who was going first through the TV.
"No I'm going first." Urd said as she pulled Raziel back from the TV.
"I don't think that it's that big of a deal. I mean I've been agents worst. And it's really probably nothing." Raziel said as he started for the TV.
"No, I'm your mother, and I'll go first. And besides isn't ladies first anyways?" Urd said as she pulled Raziel away from the TV again.
"Well I guess your right.... " Raziel said, But as Urd was about to go to the TV. But just before Urd was able to go through the TV, Raziel grabbed his mother's arm and pulled her back. And jumped in to the TV. But as he did the TV went blank.
"I can't believe that my own son did that!" Urd yelled.
THUD!
"Ouch!! Damn it he even broke the TV too!" Urd yelled from there on the floor rubbing her head.
Back up at Yggdrasil Kou and Natsuki were still fighting it out in front of the four reactors.
"You're not worthy to bare the likeness of Anata, nor carry that sword." Kou said as he faced Natsuki in the eyes from the other side of his staff.
Hearing what the god said, Natsuki took a step back. "You think I need this sword to beat you?" Natsuki asked.
Kou didn't answer, all he did was ready him self for what Natsuki was about to do. Natsuki looked at the sword in her hands and back at Kou. Throwing the sword off to her side, Kou watched as his friend's sword went flying through the air and drive itself in to the hard marble floor.
"I'll use the same style I used against my dear sister." Natsuki said then she started to swing her arms in a motion that Kou had never seen before, it was a fighting style Kou was sure of that one. "Its called Pi Qua Quan. I used it against my sister and it was quite effective."
"Do not call her your sister!!" Kou yelled again, running at Natsuki.
But Natsuki's moves were swift and precise; all of Kou's attacks were rather blocked or evaded. But just as Natsuki finished a move, Kou cough sight of an opening. Taking the chance, Kou swung the staff aiming for the side of Natsuki's chest.
Seeing the staff coming at her, Natsuki cough it with both hands. Both her and Kou looked at each other, Natsuki's gripped tightened slightly bending Kou's staff.
"Nice try....." Natsuki said. Then through her hands, a surged of black lightning sparked. Kou tightened his grip. But as the power in the lightning increased smoke started to rise from his had then the pain became too great.
"AAAHHH!!!" Kou screamed out, as he let go of the staff.
"Just as I thought....." Natsuki said as she tossed Kou's staff off to the side.
"I too am skilled in other fighting styles...." Kou said just before he swung his fist at Natsuki, but it was only cough by her.
"But I am faster." Natsuki said just as she tightened her grip on to Kou's fist, breaking it.
Dropping to the ground holding his hand close to his body. Natsuki then turned back facing the four reactors and started to walk to them.
"Stay away from those!" Kou yelled but Natsuki didn't even listen to him.
Walking up the closest reactor. Grabbing on to an access panel, she ripped if off throwing it to the side. Aiming her arm at the exposed components Natsuki fired a force bolt in to the inner workings of a reactor; bring it to a grinding holt.
"I said stay away from those!!!!!"
Aiming his good arm at Natsuki, Kou fired a force bolt that was stronger then he would fire normally. As it hit Natsuki the force bolt make her stumble.
Slowly she turned to Kou as he tried to get up off the ground. "You will pay for that..." Natsuki said as she aimed her arm at Kou. Firing a beam of energy at the god, Kou only had a second to react bringing a shield up, but the force by the blast was still strong enough to launch him across the room. Slamming in to a wall, Kou slid to the ground. Walking up to Kou, Natsuki grabbed Kou by his neck and lifted him up off the ground, bringing him up so he may face her.
"Put him down."
Still holding Kou by the neck Natsuki looked behind her. There was Raziel already in his Evangelion form.
"So you are my brother...... Interesting..... Too say the least." Natsuki said as she looked Raziel over. Then dropping Kou she turned to fully face Raziel.
"This here, dose not concern you, so go back to Earth and wait for when I come for you." Natsuki said.
"I can't do that. This seems to be a family matter and the last time I checked I was part of this family." Raziel said, then he placed him self in to a stance. Natsuki smirked.
"I see you want a fight.... " Clenching both her hands into fists, forcing serge of energy to show. "Vary well come at me!"
Charging at Natsuki, Raziel was ready for a quick battle, but just before he was about to meet Natsuki she vanished. Sliding to a stop, Raziel looked around trying to find Natsuki.
"Where'd she go?!" He yelled.
Still on the ground in pain, Kou looked up just in time to see Natsuki reappear high up in the air.
"Above you!" Kou yelled. But the warning came too late.
Just as quickly as Natsuki was able to reappear, she forced her self to the ground at an impressive speed. Hitting the ground hard enough to crack the marble floor, but not having enough time to react Raziel took a step back. But Natsuki quickly punched Raziel right in to armored chest, making it dent and warp. Clasping his chest in pain, Natsuki grabbed both of Raziel's arms and forced her self to fall backwards; during the fall she took her right foot and placed it on to Raziel's chest and with all her strength Natsuki threw Raziel across the reactor room in one dramatic flipping movement. As Raziel hit the ground he lifts a scrape in the thick marble floor.
Natsuki then again started for the remaining three reactors. Walking up to the next closest reactor, Natsuki grabbed on to the massive device and started to pull at it, and rocking it back and forth until the stands to it started to give way. Then giving it one last push, Natsuki knocked over the reactor making it fall over on to the reactor directly behind it, destroying two reactors at once. Then just as she was going for the last reactor, Natsuki started to feel a power that she has never felt before. Turning back around her for that Raziel was standing back up and with some type of cross emulated behind him. She watched as beams fired from each end of the cross, but being able to see the beams coming, Natsuki had just enough to dodge three out of the four beams, but the fourth grazed her shoulder making her spin around and hit the ground with a thud.
Raziel then slowly and cautiously approached the fallen girl, ready for anything that she might do. With each step Raziel took his metal boots to his Evangelion form cracked the flooring. Hearing Natsuki moan, Raziel stopped ready for anything. Watching Natsuki slowly get back up to her feet, her left hand covering her shoulder and she bled out from wound.
"Hear this good Brother. Watch your self I will strike you at you weakest point!" Natsuki yelled as she pointed at Raziel with the hand that was covering the damage that Raziel had inflected. Then with a flash two desks of light formed above Natsuki and below her, as they closed in on her she vanished in a bright almost blinding flash of light.
When Natsuki was gone Raziel changed back to his normal form and quickly fell to her knees grabbing his chest at the vary spot that Natsuki had punched him. After catching his breath, he looked over at Kou who was curled up on the floor of the reactor room mumbling something to him self. Limping over to his friend, Raziel kneeled down to Kou.
"Are you alright?" He asked quietly.
At first there was no answer from Kou, just his mumbling. "Are..... Are you alright?" Raziel asked again.
Kou whipped his eyes with his good hand, before making him self sit up his hair slightly covering his eyes. "I..... I failed of protect her.... When she needed me the most and when she wasn't even here." Kou said silently, then balling his good hand up in to a fist..... "DAMN IT!!" punching a tile to the marble floor, it shattered making Kou's one good hand start to bleed. Blood slowly started to spread out shattered marble.
"So what if Anata's reactors get blown up." Raziel stated. "If she goes back to being normal, will that make you love her less?"
Kou looked up at Raziel and rested his battered hand on to Raziel's shoulder. "You don't understand. Anata and the reactors are one. If something happens to the reactors, if they're all destroyed, she will die if she returns back to this universe before they are repaired."
"What do you mean?" Raziel asked as he helped Kou back to his feet.
"Like you, your mother, Lady Belldandy and Lady Skuld and my self we are all connected to Yggdrasil. But Anata, she is to these reactors, she draws her power from then. Just like you and my get out power from Yggdrasil." Kou replied.
Raziel looked back up to the one remaining reactor. "We need to stop her....."
---(Son of Urd Universe)---
Meanwhile, Anata unaware of what had taken place back at her own universe and still firmly connected to the reactors there in the universe she currently lives. She and Rei had just stepped foot on the temple ground as they walked further on to the grounds. Rei shivered.
"You didn't tell me that you lived on some holy grounds." Rei said as she looked around.
"You didn't ask why that is a problem?" Anata asked back.
"Hello. Look I'm evil. And this will be a temple!" Rei shouted. "Yeah there is a problem!"
"Big deal. I'll just ask you now then." Anata said as she turned to Rei. "What's in Kou's past that eating at him. He said something about helping me is all the pay he needs." Anata said. "Now just what the hell dose that mean?"
Rei took a deep breath then she looked up to the sky, thinking for a moment. Then she looked back at Anata. "A couple years ago, he was sent here to earth to put a curse on a girl."
"Okay...."
"Well he couldn't. The story goes that he fell in love with that human girl, and even went as far as to become a rouge demon just to be with her. Well a month in to their romance they became lovers but it would not last." Rei explained.
"What happened?" Anata asked, getting in to the story.
"Nefleim found him. His punishment was to erase the girl's memory and he was forbidden to ever see her again. On top of this he was sent to the lunar prison for a year as a rock." Rei said.
"Who was this girl?" Anata asked.
"I don't know there are only three demons that know the answer to that one, Kou, Lady Mara and Her Majesty Queen Hild." Rei replied. "Now can I please get out of here this place is really getting to me."
"One more question." Anata said before Rei started to walk away.
"What is it?" She asked.
"Why dose he act differently around me?" Anata asked.
"I don't know... Maybe you remind him of her?" Rei replied. "Now can I go?"
"Sure talk you ya Monday?" Anata asked.
"Yeah, Yeah what ever." Rei said replied as she quickly made her way off the temple grounds. Watching her new friend leave, Anata went on in side the temple. Once inside, Anata happened to walk past her father as he sat in the kitchen in front a computer.
"Hi dad, what are you doing?" Anata asked as she opened the fridge looking for something to drink.
"Oh just going over something's for work.... How was you and Fiona's day at school?" Keiichi asked looking up from the computer. "By the way where is Fiona?"
Taking a can of juice out of the fridge, she looked back at her father. "She had to do something's after school."
"Did she? Umm Okay....." Keiichi said as he went back to his work. "What about you? What are you going to do?"
"Me?" She asked pointing at her self. "I don't know... sit around and be board I guess, I might get the news paper and see if I can find a job."
"A Job, where did you work before you came here?" Keiichi asked.
"I worked for Chihiro at whirlwind, but I don't know what I'm going to do while I'm here." Anata replied.
"With Chihiro? Maybe I can set you up with a job with her here. What did you do for her?" Keiichi asked.
"I took orders from customers and even sometimes, depending what part it is I install performance parts on to cars and motorcycles."
Again looking up from his work, Keiichi gave Anata a questioning look. "So I tough you how to ride a motorcycle in your universe, what do you ride?"
"On my sixteenth birthday, you gave me a BMW K1, and then later on we replaced the motor from my bike with a motor from a K1000." Anata replied.
"Okay I'll tell you what I need to stop by whirlwind to get something for my bike, why don't we talk to Chihiro then?" Keiichi asked.
"Sure thing. I can use the work; I do need to get more cloths I don't want to keep on bumming money off of you." Anata said.
"It's no problem, just give me a couple minutes and we're go and take care of that." Keiichi said as he tried to finish his work.
"Okay." Anata said, and then she walked out of the kitchen and started fro her room. Along the way she happened to pass her mother.
"Anata dear, where is Fiona?" Belldandy asked.
"Oh she had something to do.... " Anata replied hoping that her mom wouldn't ask any more.
"Where at?" Belldandy asked going back to line of questioning.
"Look mom I know I cant lie, but I can just not answer. You know it's the covering up for your sister thing, I'm sure that you can under stand that." Anata said hoping that would stop the questioning.
Kneeling down, Belldandy placed her hand on to Anata's shoulder. "I can understand that as being a sister myself. I've had to cover up for Urd more then one time." Belldandy said, but just when Anata thought that she was in the clear her mother's expression darkened slightly. "But I am a mother first."
"Wh.... What are you going to do?" Anata asked as she back away.
"Urd... Oh Urd?" Belldandy called for her elder sister.
Urd then floated in to the hall, looking like that she had just been pulled from a TV show. "Yeah Bell, what is it?"
"Urd can you please use your method of integration......" Belldandy said.
"Oh fun, fun. Do you want me to use my fingers of the feather?" Urd asked a she slowly approached Anata.
"The feather...... at first." Belldandy replied as she looked over at Anata seeing her sweat.
"Okay! Okay! I'll tell you! She's with Lyn!!!" Anata yelled in fear what her mother and aunt Urd was going to do. "Damn... Look I told her to go out, she and Lyn needed the time together. You know alone time. She and Lyn needed a night with out me tagging along. You can understand that right?"
"Later on when you and your father return, you will call them and check up on them." Belldandy said.
"Alright... Wow mom, I'm glad that you don't do that sort of method of getting info from me back in my reality." Anata remarked.
"Anata you ready?" Keiichi called from the other room unaware of what was going on.
"Uh... Yeah dad coming!" Anata called back then she went with Keiichi to whirlwind.
Once Keiichi and Anata were gone Urd looked over at Belldandy. "You know Anata and Fiona have become close, like you and I have become."
"Yes, this is a good thing for both Fiona and Anata." Belldandy replied back. "Have you sent a letter to Raziel?"
"Yeah, I sent it but it takes some time to get to that other universe." Urd replied.
"That's good.... You're still worried about him are you?" Belldandy asked.
"Well yeah, would you be worried for Fiona if she was taken to another universe?" Urd asked back, to only get a nod from her sister. "I just hope that he's doing alright....."
