Waking up, Anata looked over to see that Kou was still with her. He looked as if he hadn't slept in days. And she noticed something else. He was beaten and bused, like he was in a fight with someone or something.
[Shadow maybe?] Anata thought to her self? "No, if it was that he would have told me." Anata said to her self in a whisper.
She watched as Kou rolled over on to his back and turned his head over, looking at her.
"I would have told you what?" Kou asked half asleep.
"How long were you awake?" Anata asked.
"About a second or two, you?" Kou answered.
"About the same. So are you going to tell me what took you so long?" Anata asked, just dieing to know.
"The time difference was a big one. About twelve hours was about twenty days." Kou replied as he wrapped his arms around Anata bring her closer to him. "And I promise you that I will never be away from you that long ever again."
"Promise?" Anata asked.
Kou nodded and propped him self up with his right arm. "So what do we do for this Christmas of yours?" Kou asked.
"Well we will normally my Auntie Skuld and her family will be knocking on the door about..... Now." Anata replied and just as she did there was a knock at the door.
"Damn your good." Kou said as he saw Anata get up off of the futon. She grabbed a pull over sweater and put it on. She then turned to Kou.
"Why do you look like you just got the crap beaten out of you?" Anata asked.
"There was some problems when I was gone. I'm fine really." Kou replied. "So is it customary to get up early on this holiday?"
"Yah normally. Come on get up, let's go out there and open some presents." Anata replied.
Kou let out a moan as he tried to get up, but he was still feeling whipped out from every thing. Trying to get up again Kou only fell back on to his back with a thud. Hearing the thud from behind her Anata turned to see what it was. There she saw Kou there on the floor.
"So you're feeling fine, are we?" Anata asked.
"Maybe that I stretched that just a bit." Kou said with a chuckle.
"Here let me help you." Anata said as she reached for Kou. Kou took her hand and pulled her down on top of him. They looked right in to their eyes.
"So was this just a ploy?" Anata asked as she giggled.
"Not really. I just wanted to have another moment with you before we go on out there." Kou answered.
In the living room, Skuld and her family was just getting settled. Taking a cup of tea that was offered by her sister.
"Skuld? Why is Sentaro half asleep?" Belldandy asked as she looked over to Sentaro who was out cold with his mouth wide open.
"He just had to put together a new mountain bike we got for Matagu." Skuld replied with a mater of fact tone.
"But putting a bike to gather should have been easy for him." Belldandy stated. Then she took another sip of her own tea.
"The bike itself was put together really fast. But it was these desk breaks that were giving him some trouble. I told him to talk to Keiichi but he wanted to do it him self." Skuld answered.
"I see." Belldandy said as he looked over at Matagu, who was out side riding his new bike out in the back yard.
"Kou got home last night." Belldandy said.
"Really? I bet Anata is feeling better now?" Skuld asked.
"I don't know. They haven't come out of her room yet this morning." Belldandy replied.
"What? And you and Keiichi are okay with that? I mean.... You know what if." Skuld said in almost a whisper.
"You know what?"
Skuld and Belldandy turned to look to see how it was. There stood Anata and Kou. "Auntie Skuld?"
"Good morning you two sleepy heads, did I wake you?" Skuld replied as she laughed nervously.
"No. We were already up." Anata replied. "Marry Christmas, Auntie Skuld, Uncle Sentaro."
Sentaro let out a moan to reply to Anata. Then Anata sat next to her mother and gave her a hug. "Mom, Where's dad?" Anata asked.
"All he said is that he needed to take care of something." Belldandy said.
Mean while, across town, Keiichi was once again at whirlwind waiting for Chihiro.
"Kei, it's early. Do you need it now?" Chihiro asked as she scratched her head and let out a yawn.
"Yes, its the last thing I need to fix her bike. Come on Chihiro." Keiichi said.
"Yah, yah one sec. what was it again?" Chihiro asked as she started in to the store room of Whirlwind.
"The engine to a K1000.... Why I K1000? Don't you need a one to a K1?" Chihiro asked.
"The K1000 engine is the only one that will fit with the mountings of a K1. And since Anata's wreak I can't find a K1 Engine." Keiichi replied.
"Okay one sec." Chihiro said as she went in to the back.
Keiichi stood there for a minute or two before Chihiro came back. "We have it. When do you want to pick it up?" Chihiro asked.
"I'll come back and get it some time this week. But I'll just take the papers for it." Keiichi replied.
"Okay here you go that will be 90,000 yen." Chihiro said.
As Keiichi reached of his wallet he let out a moan. But any thing for his daughter.
About an hour later, Keiichi walked in to the temple. And was met by his daughter. "God morning sweetie, I've got your present right here." Keiichi said as he handed Anata a peace of folded paper.
"What is it?" Anata asked.
"Open it and find out." Keiichi said with a smile.
Opening the folded peace of paper, Anata started to read it. Her eyes widened. "Thank you dad. When do I get it?"
"Next week. I just need to pick it up. And you and I can put it in to the mountings." Keiichi said.
"Well I'm glad to see everything hasn't started yet with out me."
Hearing the voice from behind then, there was Urd with two great big bottles of sake.
"Aunt Urd!" Anata said as she rushed and gave her a hug.
"Well I see your feeling better, take it that Kou's back." Urd said, and as soon as she said that Kou walked around the corner. "What took you so long, Anata here was all depressed about you being gone." Urd said as she walked in to the temple and handed Kou one of the two bottles of sake.
As every one opened presents, Keiichi had on the sweater that Belldandy had knitted to him for their first Christmas. Urd sat there with a bottle of vary rare sake, some 100 years old. And every one sat with the gifts around them.
"Well Anata I have something for you." Kou said.
Reaching in to his robes he pulled out the small box. Anata just looked at it and looked back at Kou.
"What is it.... Kou is this why....." Before Anata could finish Kou opened the small box. And there was the same cross necklace, that she remembered looking at.
"Is this why you took that job?" Anata asked.
Kou only took the necklace out of the box and undid the clasps and put the necklace around Anata's neck.
"Yes, that really belongs to you." Kou said, but before he knew it, Anata had wrapped her arms around him with a bone crushing hug. That made him loses his balance on the edge of the couch, sending the both of them crashing to the floor.
"Kou. Yu was right. You are a keeper." Anata said before giving Kou a Kiss that would put all others they had shared in the past to shame. Anata's parent's watched for a moment before Keiichi coughed.
"Break it up you two." Keiichi said.
"No kidding. Get a room you two." Matagu piped in.
Blushing, Anata got up off of Kou and helped him up. Just as they got up the door bell went off.
"I'll get it" Matagu said as he walked on over to the front door.
When he opened the door, Matagu found five people looking down at him. The eight year old looked back up at them. Then one of the three girls leaned in to Matagu and smiled.
"Hello there cutie, is Anata and Kou about?" the girl asked.
Matagu took note of the God and Goddess symbols on their heads and figured that they were friends from Anata and Kou's school.
"ANATA! KOU SOMEONES AT THE DOOR FOR YOU TWO!!!" Matagu yelled.
Peeking their head around the corner from the living room, Anata saw it was one of her friends and went to greet her and the others that she knew. Kou on the other hand was trying to figure out why they were there.
"Koichi? What are you doing here?" Anata asked.
"We just got back from the mission. And we wanted to check up on Kou and see if he made it back all right." Koichi replied.
"I made it back okay. But what about you? I mean what happened when Peorth found out?" Kou asked.
"We told her that it was our idea about sending you back. But no need to worry about that, I do believe it's customary to bring a gift on this day." Hara said as he held out a bottle of booze.
Then Anata got the idea... "Mom!" Anata called to her mother.
Hearing Anata calling for her, Belldandy walked to the front door. "Yes dear." Belldandy said as she was met by several young gods and goddesses kneeling when she walked to the door. "Oh my.... All of you needn't do that."
"Mom Do you think they can join us for dinner and the parity?" Anata asked.
Belldandy being the person she is, just smiled and looked at the young gods and goddesses at her door. "Come in all of you. Join us."
"Thank you my lady." Hara said as he walked past Belldandy.
"Anata I have so much to tell you. You should've seen Kou. He was amazing." Koichi said as she gave Anata a hug and winked at Kou.
"Kou, if I get busted because of this stunt, you will answer to me." Ichigo said as she passed Kou. Who only scratched the back of his head?
Oryema tossed a peace of planet to Kou. Catching it, Kou gave Oryema a questioning look. "What is this?" Kou asked.
"Mistletoe. You'll need it later on. Just trust me." Oryema said as he gave Kou a grin. "Now where is lady Urd. I know she has some good booze."
Kou looked over at Anata and gave her a questioning look. He didn't need to say a word. Anata just whispered in to Kou's ear telling what it's used for. When she was done Kou blushed some more. "I think Oryema is right. We'll be using this later."
Then Delenn pulled on Kou's robe. "I just wanted to tell you that I'm glad that you made it back."
"Thank you Delenn." Kou said.
Several more hours passed. And dinner was over with and, the party was in full swing. Urd and Oryema were singing drunkenly. Both with a bottle of booze in their hand. Delenn, Matagu and Ichigo sat playing some game on the playstation. Belldandy and Keiichi were trying to keep the two drunks from trashing the temple and making sure that Oryema and Urd didn't do anything. Skuld and Sentaro were off at the corner of the living room having a little moment of their own. Anata and Kou had slipped out the back door for some alone time. Anata sat in the lower step and Kou sat on the step just about the one that Anata was on. He wrapped his arms around her to shield his love from the cold. Anata could smell the slight hint of booze on Kou and smiled.
"I see Aunt Urd talked you in to a drink or two." Anata said.
"More like three or four." Kou replied with a smile. "I'll live."
Anata pulled his arms closer to her body. "Koichi told me what you did. Why didn't you tell me what had happened?" Anata asked.
"Fighting is something that I really don't enjoy doing, let alone talking about it." Kou replied.
"That was a good thing you did. For those people." Anata said as she looked back and up at Kou. "And you need some type of award."
"Being here with you is award enough." Kou said.
"I want to give you something..." With that Anata got up and turned around. Before Kou knew it, Anata was kissing him again and was just like the one earlier that same day. Slowly falling back, Anata found her self on top of Kou again. As soon as she was done, she rested her head on Kou's chest and grasped him keeping herself close to him.
"Promise me that you won't be gone that long ever again and, you will never do something that stupid." Anata said.
"I promise you that I will never be away from you like that again, but doing something stupid? I will defend those that are weak and need help. And I will fight for you and stand up for you with last ounce of my strength." Kou said. Then he again wrapped his arms around Anata. "But I will never leave you, not for any reason."
