------ Sunday Night. 9:35pm. ------

Sitting in Anata's room Kou and Anata are still going over the elemental magic. There on the floor in from of them is a glass of water and a candle that was let. Kou then slid the candle out of the way and looked at Anata.

"I'm sure that you don't want to burn you're room or the temple to the ground." Kou said.

"You think that would happen?" Anata asked.

"I'm sure that something will happen. That's why we are starting with water." Kou said as he slid the glass of water in between them.

"Okay so what do we do?" Anata asked.

"We? I think you mean you. What you are going to do is concentrate on the water in the glass." Kou said.

Looking at the glass, Anata then closed her eyes.

"With you're mind, see the water move about freely. Free it of the confines of the glass. Remember there is no glass." Kou said.

Then slowly the water started to move around in the glass. The water swirled, and started to snake out of the glass. Then it formed in to a bubble and hovered there above the glass.

"Anata open you're eyes. Look at what you have done." Kou said.

Slowly opening her eyes Anata saw the bubble there in front of her, in mid air.

"How?" Anata asked.

"Sssssshhhh. Don't take you're focus off of it... Now make it change shape. In to any shape you want." Kou instructed.

Thinking of a shape, the bubble started ripple and do some funny things. At first it looked like it was going to change in to a cube. But then it flattened out like a pancake, Then back to a bubble. Kou watched as the bubble did this. Then....

SPLASH!!!!

Kou and Anata sat there looking at each other. Anata laugh at Kou. And Kou started to laugh at Anata.

"You should see the look on you're face." Anata laughed.

"The look on my face? What about you're look. You looked like you were going to cry for a second." Kou replied laughing and pointing at Anata.

In the hallway, Keiichi and Belldandy are lessening in. Hearing the laughing, Keiichi turns to Belldandy.

"Come on lets let them be." Keiichi said.

"But they have school in the morning." Belldandy said.

"Aw come on Bell. How many times did you and I stay up talking when we were like that?" Keiichi said. "Come on It's a nice night, let's go for a walk."

Up at Yggdrasil, Peorth is surrounded by several floating screens, each one with some type of information about the shadows and what's been going on back on earth. Then Chrono looked up and turned around looked at Peorth.

"Ma'am, I just picked up Mara on the sensors. But her program is acting up, along with Urd's. Do you think that we should call Belldandy at least to see what going on?" Chrono asked.

"What. Let me see the data." Peorth said.

Chrono then sent the data over to Peorth. Seeing the data she knew what was going on.

"It's alright. They are drinking.." Peorth said.

Back on some earth Urd and Mara are sitting in some dark bar, drounding their sorrows.

"Tell me Urd. (Bar Keep more drinks!!!) Why haven't you settled down and gotten a good man and some Kids?" Mara asked as she watched the bar tender pore her some more beer.

"(I'll have some more Namachu!) What? Like I told Skuld when Belldandy was about to have Anata. And let a figure like this go all to hell? I think not." Urd replied.

"What about Belldandy? She still looks the same. Well maybe a little bit older but still looks good." Mara said. Then she downed about of her rather large glass of beer.

"What Belldandy? She can eat nothing but Crispy Cream doughnuts for a week and not gain a pound. And why are you here?" Urd asked.

"I don't know. Talk to the writer.." Mara said. Then her and Urd look over to the camera.. If it was a real show, and then back at their drinks. "What I would like to know was who the hell was that little brat that attacked me?"

"Oh that's Kou. A God in training, he's also mentoring my niece." Replied Urd.

"That girl was Anata. Wow I haven't seen her in what ten years. " Mara said.

"She has grown up a lot, and I'm winning a little bet that Skuld and I have going." Urd said.

Back at the Temple, and some four later Anata and Kou are now just sitting around and talking.

"What about you're school. Is there any thing that I should know about?" Kou asked.

"My school? Well it's three stories tall, some two thousand students. What else do you need to know?" Anata said.

"I see.. " Kou said then he rubbed his face with both hands and pulled his un-rulie black hair. "It's getting late and if school started in the morning like it dose in the heavens I should get some sleep. The same goes to you too."

Standing up, Kou started to make his way to the bedroom door, when Anata stopped him.

"Kou?" Anata said.

"Yes?" Kou replied.

"Never mind. Good night." Anata said.

"Good night, Anata." Kou said back.

Again in the Heavens, Peorth was still looking over the Data from earth.

"(Sigh) I don't get it. The negative energy is still increasing.. And Anata is only at 37% power. This is taking to long." Peorth said.

Shutting the screen that was in front of her Peorth scratched her head. Then Ere turned to see what was going on.

"Ma'am are you alright?" Ere asked.

"What? Yah I'm okay.. I'm trying to figure out this data and at the same time figure out how to give Anata Morisato all of her power with out killing her... (The light bulb comes on.) I got it! Ex, bring up the reactors layouts from the original planes of Yggdrasil." Peorth said.

Pushing some buttons on the harp keyboard, a 3-d image of Yggdrasil's power grid came up. Peorth then stood up and pointed.

"Look, right there. Now bring up the image of the power grid of Yggdrasil today, and overlay it over the old grid." Peorth ordered.

The three Yggdrasil goddesses looked at each other and got to work. Thin seconds later, the image of the power grid came up over the image of the old grid.

"Can any one tell me it those old reactors are still around?" Peorth asked.

"I know. Their in subsection thirty two, sector F. Why?" Ex asked.

Thinking for a minute, Peorth then looked back at Ere and Chrono. "Ere, Chrono get started on finding a way to use those old reactors to give Anata all of her power with out killing her. Ex you're with me. We need to get those four reactors up and running." Peorth said.

"But Me?" Ex asked pointing at her self.

Stopping Peorth turned around. "Look its part of the job. You are looking to get my job? Right?" Peorth said.

"Right." Ex said.

---------- Monday, 6:45am ----------

Beep! Beep! Beep! SLAM!!!!

Again another school week has started for Anata Morisato. After she sat up in her futon, she's able to here what sounds like Kou in the next room getting up also. After the wait for the bathroom and taking a shower, Belldandy was giving Anata and the Kou an idea what's going to be going on that day.

"Anata, Kou. Urd and Mara will be around the school to make sure nothing happens. Kou we all know will be there in all the classes with Anata." Belldandy said.

"What about you mom?" Anata asked.

"You're grandfather has called me to Yggdrasil. He wants to tell me what's going on him self." Belldandy replied.

"Well give him a hug for me." Anata said.

Kou then let out a loud yawn. Every one looked at him.

"What? I didn't get a whole lot of sleep." Kou stated.

"Well you two better get a move on." Belldandy said.

As Kou and Anata left the temple, Kou looked over at Anata.

"Why are we leaving so early?" Kou asked.

Letting out a yawn her self, Anata glanced at Kou. "WE need to catch the bus, and since it's a city bus. It makes something like twenty stops, And with classes starting at eight o' clock we need to leave early to get there on time." Anata replies.

Anata and Kou reached the bus stop, and waited along with some other students and some people on their way to work. Just then some ten Busses came around the corner and parked in front of the bus stop. Kou stood there with a huge sweat drop on the side of his head.

"How do you do this every day?" Kou asked.

"Umm Kou. the bus has the destination on the side. Kou some times I just got to wonder how you can go to world to world granting people wishes and not get lost." Anata said.

Walking on to the bus, they took a spot near the back.

"How long is this ride?" Kou asked.

"Oh around thirty minutes. Some times it's where I get my homework done, or I'll get some more sleep. You know? Power nap." Anata said.

After saying that, Anata let out a long, stop every thing yawn. "Yep, power nap is just what I'm going to do."

Closing her eyes, Anata fell asleep before the bus reached the first stop. Kou sat there shocked how she could sleep in such a loud place. Just then the bus took a turn that made Anata lean over on to his shoulder. Freezing in place, Kou made no movement. But was sure able to hear the other passengers on the bus.

"Look at those two. Don't they make a lovely couple?" One old lady said to another.

Hearing those words, Kou tried to get a mental image of Anata leaning on him like she is. But shaking his head, Kou had to put his feelings aside.

Back in Yggdrasil, Peorth and Ex stepped back looking at the huge old as time reactors.

"You got to be kidding? These things are older then dirt." Ex said.

"This is what we have to work with.. Now we need to find the control panel. Ex you look over there and I'll look over here." Peorth said.

The two split up and started to search around the old reactors. Peorth looked over what looked like an old control panel. Blowing the dust off of it, Peorth was shocked to see that it was all busted up.

"That won't work.. Ex did you find any thing?" Peorth asked.

"No, Not yet. Wait! I think I found some thing." Ex said.

On the other side of the huge room that housed the reactors, Ex is pulling at a panel that on the wall. Around the panel, Ex can see a soft blue glow. Pulling on the panel even more, a little bit was moved; exposing what was on the other side of the panel. Finally able to get her finger tips behind the panel, Ex pulled will all her weight ripping the panel right off of the wall.

"What is it?" Ex asked.

"It's old Yggdrasil script." Peorth replied.

Pushing some buttons, the lights in the vast room came on one by one. Lighting up the massive reactors.

"Now let's get these things up and running." Peorth said.

"Okay I'll get started on reprogramming Yggdrasil main OS and the reactor program." Ex said as she started to rip out more components out of the wall.

"And I'll see if this place is free of any bugs." Said Peorth.

Back on Earth, Kou is still over hearing what the other passengers are saying about Him and Anata.

"I bet he's getting some." This one student said to an other.

His friend just shook his head. "Dude, only you would ask something like that, of course he is. Look at how they are together." The other student said.

Kou sat there, still with Anata's head resting on his shoulder. It wasn't that he really cared what other people were saying about him. In matter of fact he really doesn't care what people think.

:::::::::: Kou's thoughts:::::::::::

So that's how people see us. I wish that it was true that we were together, but a mentor falling for his student is frowned on. Then again I'm only her mentor until she reaches her full power, and then she will become a student back at Yggdrasil's training system. And I will return to my own studies.. Then maybe we can...

::::::::: End Kou's thoughts ::::::::::

Feeling the bus roll to a stop in front of the school, Anata slowly work up. Rubbing her eyes, she stretched some making her back pop.

"Ah, behold the power of the power nap... What's wrong Kou?" Anata said.

"I'm glad that you enjoyed you're self." Kou replied.

Getting out of the bus, Anata and Kou made their way through the school. Stopping at Anata's locker. Opening it up Anata was busy grabbing some things for the day when some other girls stopped at Anata's locker.

"Wow, Anata you look like crap. What happened?" The first girl asked.

"Just a long weekend, I was near the market when every thing happened." Anata replied.

Then the other girl looked Kou over. "Or were you and... What's you're name? (It's Kou.) Kou here had what's the word... A good romp?"

"Romp?" Kou asked.

"What? No it's not like that." Anata replied.

"God you're such a perv." The first girl said to the other.

"What?! You were thinking the same I know you were!" The other girl said.

"Well what ever, we need to get to our home room, See you guys at lunch." Anata said as he pushed Kou on through the halls.

Kou then looked back at Anata as she was still pushing him down through the halls.

"Romp?" Kou asked again.

"Never mind. Come on this way." Anata instructed.

Once Anata and Kou made it to their Home room, Anata took her normal spot and Kou sat at the desk that was next to hers. Just as they got settled the teacher walked in.

"Good morning class. To day we have a student that will be staying with us for some time. Umm Kou Morino please tell the call about you're self." The Teacher said.

Standing up, Kou looked around the class. "Well, I'm a friend of Anata Morisato... IN fact I'll be living there with her.. And I'm.."

Before Kou could finish what he was about to say, Anata kicked his leg making him stop and say something else.

"And I'm glad to be here at this school.." Kou finished and quickly sat back down.

"Okay, It's nice to have you here.. Hummmm it looks like Ryoka Yuzaki is absent today." The Teacher said.

"I think she has relatives that live clear out at Yamaguchi. She may have left a day early for Shubun no hi." One student stated.

"Okay that will be a long trip that's understandable. Now if there is.."

Just then the door to the class room slowly opened and every one looked to see who it was.

"No, I'm still here." Ryoka said as she walked in to the room.

Kou then looked at her. She was different from the other night; Kou was able to feel the darkness in her. But it was Shadow rather then just some one with a gruge.

"I'm happy that you were ably to make it Ms. Yuzaki, But you are not in you school uniform. I'm going to ask you to go to the office and call you're parents to bring it to you." The teacher said as he tapped his foot repeatedly.

"Don't worry that wont be needed." Ryoka said as she raised her head, and snapped her fingers.

The snap seemed to echo, and then Anata and Kou watched as every one in the room froze. Ryoka the looked at Anata and Kou.

"Like what I can do now. I have grown so strong since I was able to due away with the weak mind of the human girl and take her body I was ably to grow more powerful." Ryoka said.

Snapping her fingers and waving her hand in front of a boy that sat in front of Anata. She looked up at Ryoka.

"What did you do to them?!" Anata yelled.

"To the humans in this building, Time for them is still moving. We have simply vanished. But in reality time has stopped. For them it would only seem that a second has passed." Replied Ryoka.

Kou then reached in to his uniform coat, pulling out his staff. "I thought something was different. What have you done to the girl whose body you took?"

Ryoka smirked. "Her mind is suppressed. You see, over night she had discovered what our plane. We needed to take her body...First this world! Then the Gods them self's will hear us!"

Out side Kou noticed that there were four shadow monsters. Kou looked over at Anata. "This is not good."

T.B.C.

:::::::: Preview ::::::::

Instead of Ryoka walking out on to the screen due to the fact that her body was taken over, she is a disembodied voice.

"That jerk!!! Stupid shadow thing taking my body. YOU BETTER NOT DO ANY THING PERVERTED WITH IT! Any ways, a fight to save not only Earth, but also Heaven and Hell starts up. Anata is forced to fight with less then half her power, And Kou fights off four shadow monsters. And will the people up in Yggdrasil be able to speed up things. I don't know that's for sure, so check it out on the next chapter of Goddess of the Earth."
