Chapter 22
-----(Goddess of the Earth universe)----
Rematerializing back on earth and a foot or two above the roof top of a sky scraper, Natsuki collapsed. Slowly she turned over and looked up to the night time sky, her left hand still covering her wounded right shoulder. As she just lied there on the top of the building a pool of blood started to form from her shoulder. Then from the neck down her body started to glow, her skin tight battle suit disappeared then was replaced with a pair of tight fitting blue genes a black t- shirt and over her shirt a coat that seemed to double as a blanket for her. Rolling over out of the pool of blood, Natsuki forced her self to sit up.
"Damn you Raziel......." Natsuki said as looked over at the door on the roof that lead in to the building. Carefully removing her hand from her shoulder, she was able to get a good look at the damage.
"I need to stop this bleeding." She said again forcing her self to her feet and over to the door.
Kicking the door open, Natsuki prosecided in to the building, she came across a janitor's closet. Turning the door knob she walked in to the small room. She stood there in the dark for a moment waiting for her eyes to adjust to the lack of light, when she did become accustom to the dark to the right Natsuki found a first aid kit hanging there on the wall. Again with the hand that's covering the wounded shoulder, she ripped the kit off the wall. Sitting there on the floor of the closet, Natsuki started to tend to her shoulder. Just then a disembodied voice could be heard.
"Natsuki! You did not complete your mission!" Shouted the voice.
Wrapping the wound Natsuki took a part of the wrapping in to her mouth and pulled tightening the dressing. "I'll get to the boy.... I needed to take care of my own business." She managed to reply with a peace of fabric in her mouth.
"We, the Collective Thought made you and we can destroy you." The voice said back. "Just remember that."
Finishing with her wound, Natsuki took a deep breath before giving one last good pull at the dressing making sure that it was on good and tight. Even though there was a great amount of pain, Natsuki face stayed emotionless. "The Collective Thought can send all the Shadow monsters you want to, but you know that there is only one that can really kill me." Natsuki said. "Now let me be so I can get some rest, then I can get back to my job."
"Just remember what you must do." The Voice reminded.
"Yeah, Yeah. Get the boy and drag him back in to what remains of our realm." Natsuki said as she sat up against the wall of the closet. "You'll get him. Now let me sleep."
Across town at the Morisato house hold, Raziel and Kou just came through the TV both limping.
"What happened?" Urd asked wit Belldandy right behind her.
"Kou what happened to your hand?" Belldandy asked. "Let me take care of that for you...." She went on to say as she carefully took Kou's broken hand, but to have Kou jerk his hand back away from Belldandy.
"I don't deserve such healing..... After what I've failed to do....." Kou said as she started to walk on to his room.
"Kou?" Belldandy said to her self then she looked to Raziel. "What happened to him?"
"Three out of four of Anata's reactors were destroyed by this Natsuki person." Raziel replied as Urd looked him over to make sure that he as alright. "Mom stop it please."
"Just making sure that you're fine." Urd replied as she still looked Raziel over some more. "What type of mother would I be if I didn't?"
Raziel just shook his head giving up and looked back at his aunt. "We were able to stop her and inflect some damage to Natsuki, but not with out getting our own butts kicked in the possesses." Raziel said. "Aunt Belldandy I need to know everything about this Natsuki person."
"There are two that really know about them, one is Anata and the other is your grandfather." Belldandy replied.
"I'll need to talk to grandpa about that but first I need to help a friend....." Raziel said, and then he walked over to the living room and picked up the peaces to the device that Skuld had made to sent messages back and forth between universes.
In the other room, Kou sat on the floor of his room, silent and in the room in the dark. Hearing a knock at his door, he slightly looked over at the door. "Leave me alone." He said.
But even though he heard what Kou had said, Raziel walked on in to the room, with all the computer components in his arms.
"I thought I had said that I wanted to be left alone." Kou stated.
"I heard you, but you need to finish something." Raziel said, placing the computer parts in front of Kou.
"It's hard to type with one good hand." Kou said as showed his broken hand at Raziel.
"That's why I'm going to type for you." Raziel said as he sat down in front of Kou and the computer.
"The...... umm...... Things that I was typing to Anata are a little personal." Kou said with a hint of a blush across his face.
Stopping putting the computer back together, Raziel looked over at Kou. "When you mother is Urd, there isn't a whole lot of personal stuff I haven't heard."
Thinking about it Kou looked back over at Raziel. "Good point."
----(Son of Urd universe)----
Walking in to whirlwind, Anata looked around the shop as they walked in. as far as she could tell that the place hasn't changed much.
"Anata just let me drag Chihiro out from the back." Keiichi said as he stepped behind the counter top, heading for the back.
"Asleep on the job again I take it?" Anata asked as she looked at a super bike parked there inside.
"Yeah she probably didn't even here the bell ring when we walked in." Keiichi answered as he walked in to the back room.
Walking in to the back office, Keiichi found Chihiro sleeping soundly with her feet propped up in her desk.
"Chihiro?" Keiichi said softly.
Chihiro didn't even so much as move.
"Chihiro!" Keiichi said louder, this time making her jump.
"Damn it Keiichi don't do that!" Chihiro screamed. "You can give someone a heart attack doing that!"
"Sorry, but I'm here to get that those new spark plugs and muffler." Keiichi said.
"Yeah, yeah come on I'll get it for ya." Chihiro said as she walked on out of her office. When she came in to the front part of the store she saw Anata and turned back to Keiichi.
"Kei, who's the girl? Don't tell me that you..... You know?" Chihiro asked in a whisper.
"What? NO!" Keiichi screamed.
"She looks like Belldandy..... Don't tell me that you two had a kid before Fiona?" Chihiro asked.
"No she's from Belldandy's side of the family, and she'll be staying with us for a while. And she's getting a little board. Do you think you can set her up with a job?"
Chihiro looked over at Anata. Then back at Keiichi. "What's her name?"
"Anata." Keiichi answered, making Anata look over at the two adults.
"So Keiichi said you visiting for a while, and you're looking for a job while you're here?" Chihiro asked Anata.
"Yeah, I need something other then school work to kill some time." Anata replied.
"Okay, I'll tell you what. If you can find these things here......" Chihiro said as she started to make a list of parts and handed it to Anata. "You got your self a job."
Looking at the list, Anata looked at Chihiro. "Sure I'll get these."
As Anata started looking for the items on the list, Chihiro looked over at Keiichi. "So Kei, for real. What the deal with Anata here?"
"It's a long story. And trust me; it will give you a headache." Keiichi replied. "So I'm not going to get in to it."
Chihiro looked over at Anata as she typed on the computer looking for an item on the list. "Is she in any type of trouble?"
"Not that I know of." Keiichi replied. "So do you think that you'll take her?"
"We'll see who she dose with the list." Chihiro replied.
Moments later, Anata walked up to Keiichi and Chihiro with some boxes in her arms. "Okay, I have here one fuel pump for a 98' BMW 325i." Anata said as she placed the small box on to the table in front of Chihiro. "The tech book for an AE86 Trueno." Anata said as she placed the printed book on to the table. "I've found that B16A on ebay for one thousand five hundred US dollars."
Chihiro and Keiichi sat there for a moment and just blanked as the pile of car stuff on the table. Then Chihiro slowly looked over at Anata. "Can you start tomorrow?"
"Hell yeah I can. Thanks Chihiro." Anata said.
---(Goddess of the earth Universe)---
Having sent the message to Anata from Kou, Raziel found him self with little to nothing to do. Stretching out on the floor of his room, Raziel looked up to the ceiling watching the fan above him spin and spin around. Slowly his eyelids start to get heavy; drifting off to sleep he barely heard the knock at the front door. With the breeze coming through the open window, Raziel fell asleep.
Out in the other room, Belldandy had answered the door.
"Hello Yu, Here to see Raziel?" Belldandy asked as she let Yu inside.
"Yeah I'm here to see him. I wanted to know if he wanted to come with me on a little weekend long trip." Yu replied.
"Oh.... He's in his room right now. If you want I can go and get him." Belldandy said.
"That's alright, I'll get him." Yu said as she went on to Raziel's room.
In his room, didn't even hear his bedroom door slid open. Seeing Raziel sleeping there on the floor, Yu walked up to him and sat there beside Raziel. "Raziel..." Yu whispered loudly.
Slowly opening his eyes, Raziel saw Yu sitting there beside him. "Yu? When did you get here?"
"Just a moment ago..... Raziel what are you doing this weekend?" Yu asked.
"Nothing much, why?" He asked back.
"My mom and I are going on a little trip to Kyoto for the weekend and I was wondering if you would like to go?" Yu asked.
Raziel sat there thinking about the question. "Wait, your mother is going to be there. Is she going to try to kill me or something?"
"No I've made her promise me that she wouldn't hurt you." Yu replied with a mater of fact tone. "Come on ask you mom, I'm sure that she'll let you go."
"I don't know there are something's going on right now, I don't think that it's such a great idea for me to leave." Raziel said not sounding too sure.
"What type of stuff?" Yu asked leaning closer to Raziel.
"Oh just heavenly stuff." Raziel replied.
"So you're saying that since I'm just a normal girl you can't tell me?" Yu said sounding just a little upset.
"Well if you really want to know, there was an attack up in the heavens, Kou got hurt, and even I get beat up some." Raziel replied.
"Well see there you go all more reason to go." Yu said. "We're going to a hot spring, doesn't that sound like fun?"
Again Raziel sat there thinking about this. 'Let's see..... Go to Kyoto with Yu to a hot spring, or stick around here and be board.' Raziel thought to him self. "Let me ask my mom."
Getting up Raziel walked out of the room and over to his mother's room. Knocking on the door, he heard him mother tell him that it's alright to come in. Once inside, Raziel watched as Urd, mixed something for a potion.
"Mom...."
"Not now..... This is the hard part......" Urd said as she mixed one potion with another. Not liking where this was going. Raziel took a step back and closed the door in front of him. Out side a second later, an explosion rocked the whole temple. Back in side after the smoke cleared, Raziel opened the door again to see his mother with smoke lines coming up off of her.
"Mom?" Raziel asked again.
"Damn it happened again..... Yes sweetie?" Urd asked ass he started to clean her self off.
"Is it alright if I can go with Yu and her mother on a weekend long trip to Kyoto?" Raziel asked.
"I don't know.... What's going on at Kyoto?" Urd asked.
"Some hot spring thing." Raziel replied.
"Nope, I know what hot springs can do, and there is no way. Sorry kiddo." Urd said as she stood up, still cleaning her self off.
"Oh come on mom, her mother is going to be there." Raziel rebutted.
"So you're going to be under adult supervision?" Urd asked trying to be a good mother. "Would me in your universe let you go?"
"I don't know I've never had something like this happen to me." Raziel replied.
"I guess so, but you take protection with you." Urd said.
"Mom......."
