Disclaimer: I do not own Oh! My Goddess.
At the temple, Belldandy was on the couch reading a book when she felt the wave of energy from the shadow monster. Dropping the book she ran past Keiichi to the reach where Urd keeps the brooms, she grabbed String Fellow the broom and ran for the front door. Passing Keiichi again.
"What is it?" Keiichi asked.
Belldandy didn't even look back. "It's Anata!"
Sliding the front door open she hoped on to the broom and jetted off in to the sky. Leaving Keiichi worried and trying to figure out what is going on. So rushing to the phone He called Skuld. But when the phone was answered it was Matagu who answered.
"Hello?" Matagu asked.
"Hay Matagu, is you're mother there?" Keiichi asked.
"Uncle Keiichi? Hi. No dad is still at work and Mom just ran out maybe ten seconds ago. She said that something just came up and she'll be back shortly." Matagu answered. "Do you want her to call you back when she gets home?" Matagu asked.
"No that alright, just tell her I said hi. See ya later Matagu." Keiichi said.
"Okay bye Uncle Keiichi, I'll tell her." Matagu said then hung up the phone.
Some where over Nekomi Belldandy met up with Skuld.
"Did you feel it too Sis?" Skuld asked.
"I did, Anata said that she will be at the shopping plaza. Skuld you take a look at the North end of the plaza, I'll look at the south end." Belldandy said then flew off.
On the ground, Anata and Kou were slowly making their way back to the temple. Anata then noticed that Kou was really quite.
"Say Kou what's that staff thing called." Anata asked.
"It's a Protectors Staff. It's made small so it can be hidden." Kou answered.
"You said that is was special. How so." Anata asked.
"It was my brothers. He was my mentor as well. I was with him on a wish granting mission on some planet on the other end of the galaxy. After we granted a child a wish, we had some time before Yggdrasil opened the gate. So we were checking out the sights. When a Shadow Monster came, one vary much like that one. My brother was killed. You see he was close to that world. He always told me that if he was able to live at any other place other than the heavens he would live there. The Yggdrasil crew said that when he formed a bubble of folding space around the monster the power drain was so great that the lights in Yggdrasil and the mainframe went off line for five minutes. That much power being outputted by only one. it made his body shatter. There was nothing left it was like he vaporized, and all I have left is his staff. When Yggdrasil was able to recharge the gate it was three days later."
Anata stood there speechless, it was so clear to her why Kou was the way he is. Then Kou turned to Anata.
"You're mother approaches." Kou said.
Looking up just in time to see her mother fly by and circle back, Anata waved and soon Belldandy as standing there on the ground.
"What happened? I felt something." Belldandy said.
"It was a shadow." Kou simply answered.
"A shadow! Anata are you alright!" Belldandy said then started checking her daughter for any sign that she may be hurt in any way shape or form.
"Mom." Anata said. But there was no answer for her mother; Belldandy is still checking her over.
"MOM! I'm Fine." Anata said.
"Are you sure?" Belldandy asked.
"Yah. It's Kou he, used a lot on his power to fight it off." Anata said.
Checking Kou out, Belldandy turned to String Fellow. "String Fellow, take Kou back home. And tell Keiichi to make sure that he rests. I and Anata will be home shortly."
"Yes Ma'am." String Fellow said.
Helping Kou on to the broom, Anata and Belldandy watched as he flew off back to the temple. Then Belldandy turned to Anata.
"It's late we should be getting home." Belldandy said.
"But mom it's only 12:30." Anata pointed out, but Belldandy started to walk off.
Normally when her mother did this, Anata knows that it means that her mother wanted to talk about something. Fallowing her, Anata reached her mother's side.
"Anata dear? What do you think of you're training?" Belldandy asked.
"It's alright, For the first day. I do admit that Kou's stile of teaching is far different then how you teach." Anata said.
"Did you since any thing?" Belldandy asked.
"No. I don't think so... Mom I'm starting to think that this was a bad idea." Anata said.
Hearing that, Belldandy stopped and turned around facing Anata. "Anata dear you are the first to ever be born of a Goddess and a Mortal. You have the ability to live the best of both worlds, and the worst. You're unsirteney is the Goddess in you, the drive to keep on going is with out a dought the Morisato with in you. But what ever you want to do I and you're father will support you all the way. Now why don't we get some ice cream and call you're aunts over tonight?"
Smiling Anata answered. "Sure mom that sounds great."
With out looking at Anata Belldandy then said something else that through Anata off. "But I sinced something from Kou.."
"What was that?" Anata asked.
Belldandy only smiled and kept on walking.
"Mom I know you can't lie. So what was it?" Anata asked.
"It's not telling a fib if don't answer." Belldandy replied.
"So you're not going to tell me are you?" Anata asked.
"Nope." Her mother answered.
Back at the temple Kou is on the couch completely drained.
"I'm so sleepy.." Kou said to him self out loud.
Keiichi then came in to the living room, with a huge stack of papers from work.
"Don't you know you're alternative power source?" Keiichi asked.
"No I don't know.. What it. is..ZZZ..zzz.ZZZ..zzz" Kou had dozed off there on the couch. And at just about the same time Belldandy and Anata came through the door.
"Keiichi?! Were back." Belldandy called out.
Keiichi then came to the door. "Shhhhh Kou is asleep." He said.
Anata peeked around the corner to take a look. It was true; Kou is out like a light.
"Anata are you alright, Kou told me about what happened." Keiichi said.
"I'm fine; I'm a bit worried about Kou. Is he okay?" Anata said.
------- Later that evening -------
Skuld, Sentaro and Matagu came over to the temple like they have several times before, Urd was still not there, more then likely out having one more drink for the day.. Okay for the afternoon.
"Alright Skuld I got you're cholalote ice cream, Sentaro orange sherbet for you. Matagu and Keiichi I here's you're meant. Anata dear here is you're cholalote chip." Belldandy said as she handed out the ice cream.
"Say Kou you want some of mine?" Anata asked?
"What is it?" Kou asked.
"What?! You don't know what ice cream is? It's just about the greatest thing in the world. It should be an element in it self." Skuld Answered back almost yelling.
"Skuld dearest it's okay." Sentaro said, trying to calm hi wife down.
"So do you want any?" Anata asked again.
"I'll try some, but just a little bit please." Kou answered.
Dishing some out for Kou, Belldandy noticed that he was feeling much better.
"Kou are you feeling alright after you're rest?" Belldandy asked.
"Much better, thank you for asking. But you know it's odd. As much as I used of my powers I thought I would be out cold for a week." Kou said as he poked at his dish of ice cream.
Matagu watched as Kou poked at the ice cream then he tugged on his mother's arm. "Why is he eating it weird?" Matagu whispered.
"Ssshhh It's not polite to whisper about people." Skuld whispered back.
Then Sentaro nudged Skuld lightly in the side. "That goes for you too."
Then Skuld leaned closer to Sentaro and started to whisper in to his ear, no one was able to hear what she had said, but what ever it was Sentaro turned ten shades of red. Then Skuld seated her self back in her seat.
"But none of that if you're going to be like that." Skuld said.
Every one at the table sat there with a big sweat drop on the side of their face, but Matagu was green, and looked like he was going to be sick. He was not dumb, he had a clue on what his parents was talking about.
As every one had their ice cream, Anata noticed that Kou was looking at her, and then he would look away when ever she would make some type of movement. It was something that she never experienced before.
"Anata when are we going to play GT10?" Matagu asked, breaking Anata from her thoughts.
"What, Oh umm why not now. I just need to set up my play station." Anata said.
Getting up Anata left the room, and went to get the play station. Having stored it in the guest bedroom. Anata got in to the closet and pulled out the box for the play station, sitting on the floor, Anata started to pull the play station out of the box. As she did, she happened to notice the something there off to the side of Kou's unmade futon. Wondering what it was, Anata went over next to the futon and picked up a small orb. Looking at it, Anata watched as it started to glow and a pitcher of her appeared in the orb.
"What's this all about?" Anata asked her self.
Hearing someone walking in the hallway, Anata quickly put the orb back where it was found and went back to the living room where Matagu was waiting.
"What took you so long, I'm waiting to kick you're butt at this for weeks." Matagu said.
"Yah, Yah You're lil ol skyline is nothing to my Impraza. See you're car is fast don't get me wrong but you can't drive it." Anata said as she started to hook the play station to the TV.
"What? I can drive it!" Matagu said.
Pushing the power button on the play station Anata turned to Kou. "You want to play?" Anata asked.
"I'm afraid that I'll be at a disadvantage. I'll pass." Kou said as he was still poking at his ice cream.
"In other words you don't want to get you butt kicked on a video game?" Anata said with a smile.
"Yes that's right." Kou answered back.
As Anata and Matagu played their game Kou sat there studying. Belldandy happened to notice Kou doing his school work and walked up to him.
"Kou would you like any help?" Belldandy asked.
"What? Oh that's alright I don't want to trouble you." Kou said.
"No trouble at all. What is it you're studying right now?" Belldandy asked as she took a seat next to Kou on the couch.
"Human/God relations. What a boring class." Kou said.
"Homework?" Belldandy asked as she took the book out of Kou's hands getting ready to quiz him.
"Some of it, but the rest is getting ready for a test. But I think that I will be taking it here." Kou answered.
"Homework. I know a serten young lady that has some homework too." Belldandy said looking over at Anata.
"I just need to do some thirty questions in math.. Here I go. I took first place in the inside turn. Ha ha. It will only take me about an hour." Anata said.
"Just don't forget about it." Belldandy said then she turned back to Kou.
Just then Urd walked in just a little drunk. Okay really drunk.
"There is my favorite sister. Hi Belldandy.." Urd said.
Waving her sister's drunken breath out of her face, Belldandy turned to her sister. "Goodness Urd you reek of sake."
"Well maybe.. I just had a little bit too much.. My who is this?" Urd asked looking at Kou. "Kou Morino Ma'am." Kou answered.
"Mmmm you look rather tasty.. Come here." Urd said making a move on Kou.
"Umm I.. Umm that is.. Miss Belldandy help me.." Kou said as she rolled off the couch and made a run for it.
"Oh Kou come back here! I can make you're dreams come true!" Urd Yelled as she chased Kou.
There on the floor Anata and Matagu looked at each other.
"Have you ever wondered if we are the only normal ones in our family?" Matagu asked.
"All the time." Anata answered.
T.B.C.
::::::Preview:::::::
Kou walks out on to the TV screen, if it was a real show.
"Kou here, I don't have much time. She's still looking for me. Well it seems that Anata go out in to town after dark. where we run into someone Anata goes to school with. But there is something strange with her. And Anata asks me about the orb I have in my room. (Kou!!! I can make you scream all night long!!!) She found me! Umm. Come check it out on the next chapter of Goddess of the Earth." Kou then runs out of view of the screen.
"Kou where did you go?? You can't hide for ever." Urd said looking around.
At the temple, Belldandy was on the couch reading a book when she felt the wave of energy from the shadow monster. Dropping the book she ran past Keiichi to the reach where Urd keeps the brooms, she grabbed String Fellow the broom and ran for the front door. Passing Keiichi again.
