Disclaimer: I do not own Ah! My Goddess.
After finding out about the huge time difference between Earth and Ryuten, and Kou sat up on a rock almost pouting.
"Dame.. I need to get back to Anata." Kou said to him self.
He then looked over to the others as Ichigo tried to get hold of Yggdrasil. As she did Kou was not able to hear what was being said, but what ever it was it was not good. Standing up, he jumped and rushed over to the phone that was coming out of Ichigo's computer. Kou then grabbed the phone out of Ichigo's hand.
"Look Peorth, I promised I would be back in time for something important and Yggdrasil it self will not stop me from keeping my promise. So help me Peorth!" Kou yelled over the phone.
The others looked on as Kou lessened to Peorth talk. Then Kou threw the phone back to Ichigo. Placing the phone up to her ear, Ichigo found out what was said. Letting out a sigh, Ichigo hung the phone.
"Peorth said that we are not done here and can't come back." Ichigo said softly.
The others looked at Kou as he walked off out to be alone. Koichi having the feelings she has for Kou and being a friend of Anata. Koichi turned to the others.
"We need to help him." Koichi proclaimed.
"How? I mean this is Yggdrasil we're talking about." Oryema said.
"I know... Look Anata and Kou are both my friends and I don't want to see them unhappy." Koichi replied. "Heck, We are all friends with them. We just can't just sit back and do nothing."
"My mother said that love is the one force that can stand up to Yggdrasil." Delenn stated as she looked over to Hara and then the other looked at him.
"What do you think Hara? You've known Kou longer then all of us." Koichi asked.
"Kou and I have been friends since we were three years old and he as never gone back on his word. And I have met Anata also, and she has great love for Kou. I for one will like to see the both of then happy." Hara said in an almost monotone voice. Then he looked up at Koichi. "What ever you are planning, I'm in."
"Me too." Delenn said.
Then every one looked over at Oryema. Seeing his friends look, he let out a huge sigh. "My mother has always told me that even though my father was a demon he had great love for her. She all ways said that's where I get my.... Romantic ways. They were not married, but they stayed to gather as long as they could before.... Well who I'm I to go against Love. Count me in."
Koichi smiled. "You know Oryema there's hope for you yet."
"Really? Hope for a date. I know this one place on earth that you will just love." Oryema replied.
"Don't get that hopeful." Koichi said then looked over at her sister. "Oh my favorite sister of mine, I need you to do something." Koichi said in just about the sweetest tone she can make.
"What is it? I don't like that tone. When ever you use that tone you want something of me." Ichigo said as she looked at her sister with a questioning look.
"Just hack in to the Yggdrasil main computer that's all." Koichi replied.
"WHAT! Are you telling me that you want me to break just about one of the biggest rules in the whole school? The vary school that gives up the permition the do the things we do?" Ichigo asked.
"Yep." Koichi replied plainly.
"Okay...."
Every one besides Koichi falls over anime style.
"What?! You just made at big deal just to go along with it?!" Oryema yelled.
Ichigo only nodded as she opened up the back pack she used to carry her computer in. Oryema stood there looked at as she dug around in the bag.
"Wha'cha getten?" Oryema asked.
Ichigo then pulled out a huge roll of wirers, and connected one end to her computer. "Take this and put the other end in to the fountain over there." She commanded.
"Wait? I thought that water and electricity don't mix." Oryema said as he held the roll of wirers.
"Normally, yes the two don't mix. But since water is the most common element, the water will act as a plug in a way." Ichigo replied as she started to type away. "Go on I need that in the water now."
Back on earth, it was already the twenty third of December. And Anata was still depressed over Kou not being there with her. As she sat there on the couch in a set of sweat pants and shirt, eating some really expensive ice cream, watching some cheesy soap opera and in tears. Belldandy and Urd watched on as Anata sniffed and had another spoon full of ice cream.
"Urd I really don't know what to do? Keiichi has tried to cheer her up, I've tried and still nothing." Belldandy asked.
"I don't know what I can do; this just may be out of my league." Urd confised.
"Surely Urd there must be something?" Belldandy pleaded.
"I can use some of my potions, but that's about it. I mean short of drugging her, I really can do anything. She just has to understand that with Kou being a god and that there maybe times that they will be separated for each other." Urd replied. "But I will go and see if she wants to do any thing."
Walking in to the living room, Urd plopped on to the couch next to her niece. "Hay what's that you're watching?" Urd asked.
"*Sniff* Some soap opera from America.... I don't *Sniff* know, Why?" Anata asked back.
"Why don't you get all cleaned up and help me out with something?" Urd asked.
Anata sniffed again and cleared her eyes and looked over at her aunt. "What is it?"
"I needing some help with some last minute Christmas shopping and I don't know about you but I haven't finished with my shopping." Urd said as she stood up off of the couch.
"Yah there is something's I still need to get..." Anata replied.
"Good now that is settled. We leave in about thirty minutes." Urd said as she walked back out of the living room and back to Belldandy. "See all I can do is help take her mind off of things."
Back on Ryuten, Kou was back on the same rock he started out on, and was so deep in thought that he didn't even hear the small foot steps coming up behind him.
"Why are you sad?"
Hearing the small voice, Kou turned around to see the same little girl that he found when he first came to Ryuten. "Why hello little one. What brings you this far from the others?" Kou asked as he sat back down on the rock this time facing the little girl.
"I heard you yell in to the thing you had to your head. Why are you sad?" the little asked again.
"My boss shill we call her. Is making it hard for me to keep a promise to some one I love vary much." Kou replied. As he watched the little girl climb u on to the same rock he was sitting on. She sat next to Kou still with stuffed bare in her arms.
"Why?" The small girl asked.
"Well she said that my job here is not done yet. That's why." Kou replied.
"But why would your boss want you to break a promise?" the girl asked as she gave Kou a really questioning look.
"Some adults are weird like that, and this adult is the weirdest of them all." Kou answered as he laughed at what he just said.
Just then Kou and the little girl looked over to see Hara walk up to the rock they were sitting on. "What brings you here my friend?" Kou asked.
"Koichi will like to see you." Hara said.
"For what?" Kou asked.
"All she did was asked me to find you." Hara replied.
Kou looked at the little girl and slid off of the rock and looked up at girl. "Well shall we go and see what Koichi wants?" Kou asked with as he held his arms out waiting for the girl to jump down. The girl smiled and hopped down off of the rock in to Kou's arms.
Back at Ichigo and the others, she let out a heavy sight and sat back on the ground. "There I'm in to the system, and have access to the teleportation targeting computer. But since we don't have the power like Yggdrasil we will need to use are own power to do this. But it will all be for nothing if Kou doesn't get here soon."
Just then Hara, Kou and the small girl came in to sight. Koichi then walked up to her friend. "Kou stand on the TV screen there on the ground." Koichi said.
"What's going on?" Kou asked.
"We're sending you back to Anata. Now get your ass on that pad." Koichi said as she started to push Kou over to the TV screen on the ground in the middle of a circle that Hara, Delenn Ichigo and Oryema had formed. With a spot open for Koichi.
After she forced Kou on to the screen, Koichi nodded to her sister. Then Ichigo pushed a button on her computer.
"We can all get kicked out if I think I know what all of you are doing." Kou stated.
"That's why we better get things going before Yggdrasil finds out." Koichi replied.
"Were green, we better get started." Ichigo said to the others.
Then Koichi closed her eyes. "I goddess here by give some of that is mine to the machine that will send Kou to his love." Then a small beam of light shot to Ichigo's computer then the wirers glowed as the power went to the screen that Kou was standing on.
"I God Hara, here by devolve my power to the computer and to send my friend to his beloved." Hara said, and then a beam of energy came out of his chest. Then in to Ichigo's computer, just like what happened to Koichi.
"I Goddess Delenn give to Kou and the computer that will be aiding him on his way back home to his love, some of my power. Use it well." Delenn said, and with the same effect as Hara and Koichi.
As Ichigo did her chant, a power bar started to rise higher and higher on the screen. Then as Ichigo finished her chant the bar raised even higher.
"I God Oryema here by give you my power to go keep love with you at all times." Oryema said.
Then as the power level that was needed was met, a beam of light shot up out of the screen that Kou was standing on. The light covered Kou then as the light shot up in to the sky. There was a flash of light that was even brighter then the beam, and then Kou was gone. Then Oryema, Koichi, Hara, Delenn and Ichigo fell to their knees.
"Do.. you think he made... It?" Oryema asked as he gasped for air.
Koichi looked up in to the sky where the beam was going too. "He made it back to her."

Sleeping with her TV on, leaving it on just for him. Anata slept with a sad look on her face. It her Kou was not able to make it. But in the living room the TV was acting funny. Then through air vents in the back of the TV a light can be seen flashing. Then in a great flash from the screen Kou came flying thought the screen. Even with the TV off, the power provided by his friends was enough to make him bust through the glass that he would be normally smashed up against. Rolling over on to his back, Kou was able to see smoke rising from his body. The ride back from Ryuten was a rough one indeed. Then he saw the clock on DVD player. And watched as it went from 11:56 to 11:57. He still had time. Time to get to Anata. Rolling back over on to his stomach, he got up on to his feet and stumbbeled down the hall and to Anata's bedroom door. Slowly he opened the door to find that just like Anata had said she left the TV on just for him. Walking in he knelled down next to his love. Slowly and carefully he moved a stray strand of hair out of her face.
Feeling that someone was there in her room, Anata slowly opened her eyes. There she saw Kou smiling back at her.
"Kou?!" Anata said as she wrapped her arms around Kou and pulled him down with a bone crushing hug.
"I missed you two, and look. Just like I said, I'll be back in time for your Christmas." Kou said as he pointed over to the alarm clock on Anata's desk.
Anata looked over to the alarm clock. She watched as the clock changed over to 12:00am. Kou then got on to Anata's futon, allowing her to rest next to him.
"What took you so long?" Anata asked as she snuggled up against Kou.
"It was a long story. But for now I just want to get some rest." Kou replied.
It was silent for a minute, and then Anata lifted her head and looked at Kou. "Kou?"
"Yes.." Kou replied.
"Mary Christmas." Anata said.
"Mary Christmas, Anata." Kou replied.
And so they fell asleep, holding each other the whole night.
T.B.C.
