Disclaimer: I own nothing. I wish I did, but after thinking about it. That would require me to do lots more work then I really want to do. Anyways on with the story...
Chapter 12
Just down the street and around the corner, Kou was working at the book store. Opening boxes and putting the new books away where they belong. 'It's just about time for me to start heading back.... I sure hope that Fiona is feeling better.' Kou thought to him self. Unaware that the owner was watching him from the next isle over.
'He dose look just like my son..... Except for the long hair and the strange markings he has on his forehead.' The Shop owner thought.
Watching Kou put away the last book that was in the box he was working on, and then he cut the tap on the other end of the box to make it fold down and looked at his watch. It was ten after one. "I better get going.... Before Anata starts raiding the kitchen."
Walking to the back, Kou went to the old time clock and clocked him self out for the day.
"Heading out for the day?" The owner asked.
Turning around Kou found that the old man had snuck up behind him with out even the young god feeling his presence. "Umm.... Yes sir, I better head back home and fix dinner for my girlfriend and her sister, they may not look it, but they can eat someone out of house and home." Kou replied.
The old man rubbed his chin and closed his eyes. "Kou can you please come in tomorrow morning, I know it's your day off. But I have some legal things I must tend to."
"I don't mind, what time did you want me here?"
"Nine o'clock." The owner replied.
"Sure I can be here." Kou said making the old man smile.
"Thank you so much" The owner said. "Now you better get going before you girlfriend and her sister cleans you out."
Meanwhile back at the apartment.....
"I don't know what's taking Kou so long..." Anata said thinking to her self out loud. "Oh well I guess we can fix something."
Fiona sat there at the small table watching her sister rummage through the kitchen. "Didn't you say that Kou had everything where he liked in the kitchen?" Fiona asked.
"Yeah he said that everything has its place." Anata said.
"So is that why there's a pan there on the countertop?" Fiona asked pointing at the pan beside Anata.
"What that? No it's dirty. I tried to make him breakfast."
Fiona sat there thinking then she remembered something. "But didn't you say that Kou was a vegetarian?"
"Yeah...." Anata said as she broke in to a nervous laugh. "You see I wasn't awake all the way and before I realized I was frying up some eggs......"
"Oh..." Fiona said covering her mouth trying to hide her laughing. "So what happened?"
"Well Kou woke up to the smell of half burning eggs." Anata said. "So he had an orange instead."
"And when did this happen?"
"This morning while you where still out cold." Anata replied.
Just then the door to the apartment busted open and Kou was standing there catching his breath. "Don't..... Touch...... Anything......." Kou managed to say in between gasps of air.
"Kou?" Anata asked. "What's wrong?"
"Look.... Anata my sweet my love, I know you mean well. And I love you greatly, more then life it's self, you know that right?"
"Yeah I know that, you tell me that every morning." Anata said still more then a little confused.
"Then I'm sure that you'll understand when I say that I would prefer that you let me do the cooking around here."
"Yeah remember when you where stuck in my universe, you tried to make Dinner for me and Lyn when mom and dad where out...... And mom had to get a whole new set of pots and pans." Fiona said making Kou look even more worried about the state of HIS kitchen.
"Damn that again? You're never going to let that die are you Sis?" Anata cried. "How many times did I say sorry, hell I even told mom I'll get her the new pots and pans."
Kou then put both his hands on to Anata's shoulders. "Please, Please let me do the Kitchen work."
"Oh okay......" Anata muttered.
Then Kou pulled her into a huge. "That's the only thing I ask of you." Kou said then he guided Anata over to the table where Fiona was sitting.
Just as Kou was about to make lunch the phone started to ring, Anata answered the phone.
"Hello? Hi Kenji...... I'm fine, what did you need?....... Really?.... okay....... Well we're about to eat lunch we can come over after..... Can I bring my sister?...... okay see ya later." Hanging up the phone, Anata found that Kou and Fiona was looking at her with a questioning look. "What?"
"What's up?" Kou asked.
"Oh that was Kenji he's a guy from the motor club, he wanted to know if I can come on over there's something big for the motor club going on." Anata replied. "You two want to come?"
"I have the rest of the day off." Kou said.
"I cant go back to my own universe until Auntie Skuld gets things ready here to send me back in about two or three days." Fiona said.
About an hour and a half later Fiona, Anata and Kou where in the motor club's office. "What's up?" Anata asked Kenji.
"Well as you may know the regional university 2 by 2 race is in two days." Kenji replied.
"Umm what's that?" Anata asked. "I haven't heard of that."
"For every school there is a team of two, and two events. Basically the first event is a cross city race in a car of that schools choice, and the second half is a motorcycle race. But the driver of the first part can not drive in the second part, so the drivers have to switch."
Fiona and Anata looked at each other. Then Anata looked back at Kenji. "So who are the two drivers?"
"That's the thing we don't have two good drivers, we where hoping that you can be one driver and we're need to find another." Kenji replied.
Anata looked over at Kou. "What about it Kou? Why don't you and me drive for them?" Anata asked.
Kou shook his head no. "Sorry, I cant I have work."
"Umm... I can help." Fiona said in a small voice.
"When did you learn how to drive?" Anata asked her sister.
"Dad's been teaching me. I even got my license...." Fiona said then she trailed off.
Kenji stood there scratching his head. "Look we can take any help we can get in this area. Just make sure you fill out the paper work just to make sure that everything is cool."
"Okay.... Sure why don't we do this Morisato style?" Anata asked. "You know show them how it's done."
"I guess.... Yeah why not."
Kenji smiled. "Okay with an attude like that we might have a chance this year. But there is still one little problem."
"What's that?" Anata asked.
Kenji got up from his seat. "Fallow me."
The Morisato sisters looked at each other and then they started to fallow the high school looking collage student out in to the hall out the building and around the back. There was a large blanket covering something. "This is the problem..." Kenji removed the blanket to reveal something that looked like a super bike with a side car and a really dirty white car.
"That's just about the two biggest peaces of crap I've ever seen." Anata cried.
"That just about sums it up." Kenji said with a sigh.
"Is that what we're going to race in?" Fiona asked.
"Yep... our normal stuff got trashed during a prank, they where a total lost." Kenji replied. "These we've salvaged from junk heaps and junk yards."
"Look Kenji we need to talk ......" Anata said as she pulled her fellow club member aside. As Anata and Kenji started to talk with Kou standing there wonding what they where talking about, Fiona took a closer look at the car and motorcycle. When she stepped over to the car she placed her hands where she thought she saw a logo on the hood. Seeing that there was something there, she started to rub her hand over the logo to remove the dirt and grim. When she removed enough grim she took a step back.
"Umm... Excuse me; are there any keys for the car here?" Fiona asked.
"The Keys are in the car in the sun visor." Kenji said looking over his shoulder quickly returning back to Anata.
Walking over to the drive side of the car, Fiona opened it up to find the driver's seat and the passenger's seat torn to shreds. Getting in Fiona lowered the visor and the Keys fell in to her lap. Picking the keys up. "Please start..."
Back outside...
"You're kidding right? Those are the biggest piles of shit I've seen, we'll be lucky if we can get one running, and forget about getting them ready for a race." Anata said.
"I know, but since you worked for a shop, maybe you can hook us up with some high end parts." Said Kenji. "Look we're a little desperate."
Just then there was the defining sound of a wreak of a car starting up. Anata, Kou and Kenji looked over at Fiona. Just in time to see her step out of the car.
"What did you do?" Anata asked, yelling over the car.
"I asked it to start." Fiona yelled back over the car.
Kenji sweat dropped.
"I think she meant, she willed it to start." Kou said to Kenji laughing nervously.
"I think you might have a really nice car, I think it's a Lotus or something." Fiona said.
Kenji ran over to the car and took a closer look at the car, more at a closer look at the spot where Fiona cleaned off the grime. "Holly crap she's right!"
"What?! You're kidding?" Anata shouted as she ran to the car for a closer look. Getting to the car, she found that Fiona was right. "Well I'll be damned... we have a Europa.... If we can fix this thing up we might win the first half of the race, the bike I know I can probably fix up. That's just a matter of time and money."
"Do you think you're old job can hook us up?" Kenji asked.
Anata looked over at Kou, then over at Fiona. All three of them had a worried look on their faces. "I'm sure my old boss can set us up with parts and stuff, but...."
"But what?" Kenji asked.
"You see Chihiro is how should I say this..... Umm aggressive when it comes to advertising her shop." Fiona said finishing Anata's thought.
"I don't care we're do anything!" Kenji cried.
Anata and Fiona shrugged their shoulders. "Okay I'll give her a call...."
Ten minutes later Anata was on the phone with Chihiro. "Yes Chihiro..... I understand...... He knows about that, I've told him....... Yeah the club needs those parts, can you help us?...... That's great! Thanks Chihiro........ Thank you we're see you here at the club building bright and early...... okay thanks again Chihiro." Hanging up the phone Anata looked over at Kenji.
"She's going to help us?" He asked.
"Oh yeah she's going to help out, but she wants you to put up her shops logo everywhere, have ads on the campus radio station, and on the side of the Lotus and the bike have great big logos." Anata said.
"That's cool, what parts can she help out with?" Kenji asked.
"Well she's good friends with some guy that awesome with metal, and she has tech books on just about everything with an engine or she can get hold of them easily. So just about everything. The engine for the Lotus is a different story; we need to work on that our own. Starting first thing in the morning." Said Anata. "But first we need to clean those things out back."
A/N: Okay we've got five.... Maybe six more chapters to go on 'New Start', then we go in to story five. 'Goddess of the Earth, Shadow's Fall'. If any of you guys out there know the full story, The Shadows are the main evil in the whole story. And their realm was blown all to Hell back in chapter 25. So four years after this story of 'New Start' the Shadows want revenge and they found a way to get it. Natsuki, if you remember her? Anata's Evil double escaped from the shadow thought and she's hiding out on Earth. Now this at this point is where some of you might be scratching your heads. Thinking... "Oh yay..... Anata is going to save the Earth again......" WRONG!!! It's not Anata this time, and it's not Kou, and Not Belldandy. It's that last person you would ever think of. Oh well I guess you guys will need to wait. Okay I don't like being mean like that so I have a little sneak peak of future 'Goddess of the Earth' stories.
Untitled, preview one, story five. (About four years after 'New Start.')
Spring break and the last semester of her college life, sitting at the shore line watching the sun rise over the water, Kou wraps his arm around Anata and draws her close to him. They had stayed up the whole night, at first watching the stars then now watching the sun rise. Six years and four months Anata and Kou had been together. And four years since they had moved into their own place, life has been good for the most part for Anata and Kou. There hasn't been anything that has been able to keep them apart..... Well that is except for Anata's time in another Universe. But having been through Shadows, parallel universe and Devil him self. Their love has endured all that. But Anata has been keeping something from her love Kou, something that's been tarring her up inside, something that her grandfather had told her just a couple of days ago.
'The Judgment Gate...... Even with both of us having Devine blood, My Human blood is what makes me from another world. Grandfather said that we must cross the Gate to remain together.' Anata thought this, but unknown to her Kou was talking about something.
"...... So what do you think?" Asked Kou.
Not getting any sign of life from Anata, Kou looked over to see her looking out into the sea with a blank look on her face. A look that he's seen before, the look that said that she was lost in her own thought. "Anata?" Kou said, this time getting Anata to look at him.
"Hmm..... What.... Sorry, guess I zoned out there." Anata apologized. "What did you say?"
"I asked if you wanted to go and get some breakfast? And after that start for the Temple?" Kou asked again. "Are you alright? I mean you seem that you have a lot on your mind."
Anata's eyes widen slightly at the question. 'Yeah there's something on my mind....Two things on it.' Anata thought. "Kou ask me that later on please."
Looking at Anata, Kou started to worry. There was something going on with Anata. Something that she didn't want to tell him right away. "Umm... Sure. I guess."
"Kou, please.... I don't want to lie, just ask me later on." Anata pleaded.
Shrugging his shoulders, Kou had no other choice. Gods and Goddesses can't lie, but they can ask to have the question asked again later. Something like a loop hole on the whole system. "Okay if that's what you want. I'll ask later on." Kou said with a heavy sigh.
Giving Kou a tender kiss on the cheek, Anata then stood up. "But yeah, I'll like some breakfast too answer your first question."
Getting up, Kou brushed the sand off of himself and he and Anata started back to his car. But as they walked to the car, Anata found her self thinking about things again.
'Yeah there are things on my mind, The Judgment Gate and us.... Our family.... Our child.' Anata thought to her self as he gently crested her stomach, with out Kou noticing. 'Four weeks along..... According to the doctor and Grandfather.' She looked over at Kou as he reached in to his pocket and pulled out the car keys and unlocked the passenger side of the car.
"Here you go my love." Kou said, opening the door for Anata.
Smiling Anata got in to the car. "Why thank you."
Getting in the car himself, Kou and Anata drove to a sea side diner. As they drove, Anata remembered when she got the word from her Grandfather.
Flash Back
Walking back from another long day of classes, Anata turned down the last street heading towards the apartment. Hearing a slight rumbaing in the sky, she looked up to see not a cloud. Just crystal clear skies, she just shrugged her shoulders and readjusted her backpack.
"Guess it was a jet flying near by....." Anata said to her self and started walking again. But after taking no more then five steps, there was a loud clap of thunder. Jumping slightly, She looked up to the sky again just in time to see a bolt of lightning strike the ground in front of her some five feet in front of her. Waving the dust out of her face, Anata saw through the dust a message on the ground from her grandfather.
"Aww Damn it.... He's pissed about something." Anata cried out loud to her self as she walked over to the message and read it out loud. "To Anata, Goddess second class, limited license. Is ordered to the Heavens, by order of the Almighty. Effective at once."
Anata just stood there and read the message again, making sure that she read the Yggdrasil script correctly. And sure enough she had read it right. Then it hit her....
"Damn I need to get home!!!" Anata yelled. Then she started to run for the apartment.
When she got there, she had found that Kou wasn't home yet. Jotting down a quick note, Anata stuck it on the fridge and went for Yggdrasil by way of mirror.
When she got to Yggdrasil she found that her grandfather was standing there in front of her. "That was fast; normally when I call someone up here like that they are slow to act."
"Well it sounded like it was big, so what's up?" Anata asked as she and her grandfather started to walk to his office.
"Please come with me." Kami said as he turned and started to walk away, with Anata fallowing him.
"So what's the big idea?" Anata asked, but got nothing from her grandfather.
As the two walked though the vast halls of Yggdrasil, Anata started to worry that she did something wrong. "Umm... Look if it's about me reading the teachers mind to get the bonus question, I'm sorry. I've only done it once."
Kami didn't say anything.
"Look I'm really sorry about it! I've only done it once!" Anata apologized.
"It's not about that.... In fact I didn't even know about that until just now." Kami said with out turning around.
"Damn it I just doge my own grave....." Anata muttered.
"Yes you did, but there is something more pressing then that." Kami said, before he opened another set of doors, and walked through.
As they walked down the hall more, Anata quickly realized where he was taking her. "Say? Isn't this the way to the life waiting to be born line?"
Kami then opened another set of doors to reveal the life waiting to be born line. A line that stretched on for ever, thousands of children waiting. The line isn't just one line but several lines. Walking in with Anata fallowing him, Kami walked up to a section of line, the children that was in this line looked over at the two with wide eyes.
"Come on Grandpa.... This place creeps me out and you know it." Anata said quietly.
"I know. You where to work here for a month during your training, to spend time with these children while they wait." Kami said. "But I want you to meet someone."
Stopping beside a small child, a little girl about three maybe fours old, he kneeled down and smiled at the child. "Hello little one, do you remember me?" He asked.
The little girl smiled and nodded, and then she looked up at Anata and smiled. "Umm... Hi. Grandpa why am I here?"
"Do you happen to know who she is?" Kami asked, standing back up.
Anata took a closer look at the child. Then back at her grandfather. "No... should I?"
"Look closer." Kami commanded.
Rolling her eyes, Anata kneeled down to take a loser look at the child. As she looked at the little girl, she little girl smiled back at Anata and tilted her head to the side, mimicking what Anata was doing. Then as Anata looked closer in the little girl's eyes, then it hit her.
"Oh my god...."
"Now look where she is in the line." Kami said, watching Anata take several steps back.
"What the hell....."
"Watch your langue while around the line." Kami hissed.
"You mean that I'm knocked up?" Anata asked.
Kami nodded. "For lack something better to say, yes. Yes you are. You have eight months, two weeks."
"What until I get knock up?" Anata asked hoping that there was time.
"No until you give birth." Kami replied.
Anata started to pace back and forth, all while Kami and the little girl watched. Kami looked back down at the little girl. "It's okay dear, your mother is going to just fine..... Umm why don't you get back in the line?"
The little girl smiled and nodded and walked back to the line. As Kami watched the little girl walk back to the line he heard a loud thud. Looking back over, he found that Anata had fainted.
When she came too, two faces looked back at her. One was her grandfather, and the other was the little girl. Anata watched as the little girl poked her face several times then she looked back at Kami. "I think she's taking this well....." Kami said. The little girl just smiled back at Anata.
Sitting back up, Anata grabbed her head. "Ouch... my head....."
Anata then looked around to see where she was at. She soon found herself in the same room she had thought she was dreaming about. Then she looked over to her right to see the same little girl smiling back at her. Anata started to laugh nervously. The little girl then walked back to the line, Anata looked back up at Kami. "Cute kid."
"That Cute kid is your daughter." Kami added. "And there is one other thing."
"What's that?" Anata asked.
"You and Kou must cross the judgment gate." Kami replied.
"I thought you said that we didn't need to."
"While doing the math, I forgot to carry a one." Kami replied.
WHAT!!
Anata's scream made all the children in the lines look over at them.
"What..." Anata whispered loudly. "You're telling me that I have to cross that thing all because you forgot to carry a one!"
"I'm not that great when it comes to math....." Kami said with a sigh. "But you two must pass through that gate."
End flash back
Untitled, Preview two, story six. (Six years after story five)
When time began in the heavens and the rest of the universe.
Leaning back in his office chair, Kami stretched and yawned. "Finally, it's done. Now the heavens and the system will be safeguarded from anything that could be considered to be impure. The only thing a god or goddess has to do is request the cleansing and the Goddess of light will wake up from her slumber."
Standing in front of his desk a vary young goddess held a clip board to her chest slightly worried. "But sir are you sure that something is needed?"
"TO keep the heavens in their most pure form, there is nothing I will not do." Kami replied.
The young goddess let out a heavy sigh. "I guess you're right.... But I think that thing is going to give us troubles....."
A couple hundred thousand years later....
"She's broken through the last line!"
Kami sat at his desk frantically trying a program that can hold the monster he made almost a hundred years ago. "Give me ten more seconds!" Kami shouted to a goddess.
Pressing the enter button just in time before the great doors to Yggdrasil's control room where blasted open and a goddess in all white robes steps through the smoke. "You have been tainted by a Demon, you will be purified."
Running from his desk, Kami ran in front of the Goddess in white. "I am your lord and creator; you will do as I say!"
The Goddess in white said nothing, but only brought her hand up. "Purify...."
"NOW transfer her program!" Kami yelled.
Typing the command in to the computer, a vary young Hild watched as the goddess in white vanish in to static, then the necklace and two bracelets fell to the marble flooring, making a loud cling.
Stepping out from behind the desk, Hild breathed a heavy sigh. "What did you do with her?"
"I put IT in to the archives no one will have access to her except for those that are a Zero class god or goddess....." Kami replied. "But I made it to make sure that the heavens stay pure, but I've forgotten about it a fell in love with you, now we have a daughter on the way. And I will not let some program I made a hundred years ago take her away from me."
Earth, 2026ad
Standing over the bloodied body of her double, Natsuki; Anata dropped her orbed shattered battle cross then fell to her knees sobbing. Anata Morisato weaped for the creature that was meant to destroy her.
"Why.... Why! All she did was become good! She saved the life of my daughter, Kou and my own life!" Anata cried.
Finally setting foot on the ground, a goddess in an all white robe, long flowing blond hair and bright glowing white eyes spoke. Her voice distorted and warped.
"She was a Shadow that became goddess, something that should not be, a monstrosity." The Goddess said.
Anata cried over Natsuki more as the goddess stoke another step.
"What... What gives you the right to do such things?" Anata screamed, tears flowing from her eyes down her cheeks.
"The almighty gave me the right to do such things 5000 years ago." The goddess replied. "He gave me such rights to make sure that the heavens remain the purest of forms. And you are not a pure Goddess; you are tainted to mortal blood. As is your child, but because of your service to this world and the heavens you will receive a swift end, and the child will have a swift end because of her innocence."
Hearing that Anata stood back up and drew another battle cross. "You stay away from my daughter."
"I see you have some fight in you still..." The goddess said.
Before Anata could say anything back to the goddess, a small child about the age of six slid the door open. Making Anata look back behind her.
"Momma... what's going on?" The little girl asked.
Anata put on a smile. "Mommy and this lady here have to settle some things sweaty. Just go in side and don't come out until I say its okay."
The little girl shook her head and went back inside. When Anata was sure that her daughter was safely inside, she looked back at the Goddess. "If you touch her I'll kill you."
"You are not a true Goddess; you have not the power needed to stand against me.... The Almighty almost didn't make it." The Goddess of light said.
Untitled, Preview three, story seven. (Starts off one week after story six, but jumps to ten years later.)
"Anata Morisato, Goddess second class no restrictions. IN the counts of unauthorized access of the mainframe and key system controls do you have anything to add before you receive your punishment?" A god asked from his vantage point. Looking down on Anata as she stood in the center of a bright light with nothing but black around her.
Anata looked up where she heard the voice coming from. "I did what I had to do to protect my daughter and my world. I am not sorry for what I did to Yggdrasil. And if asked if there if I would do it again, knowing what will happen to me. I would do it."
"Vary well.... Anata Morisato, Goddess second class no restrictions you are hear by punished to the lunar prison for twelve earth years, but to show that we are now with heart, you will be able to watch you family."
"What! Grandfather! I know you are here Say something! After all I've done for the heavens! After all I've done for Earth! Do something!" Anata cried in to the darkness.
Turning to where she heard foot steps, she saw her grandfather walk out of the darkness and hug her. "I wish there is something I can do, I really do. But this is the most I was able to do. But fear not I will see you everyday and help you through it all." Kami said as he held his granddaughter. "You mother once said that to know true happiness one must experience sorrow. You can have one with out the other."
Anata sniffed and looked up at her grandfather. "You'll look after Aya and Kou for me?"
"I will and you have my word. Aya will grow to be a beautiful heart and become a great Goddess like her mother and her grandmother. And Kou will have all the help he wants."
"We won't ask for that help, give it to him anyways. And Grandfather please tell Aya I love her vary much and she will be with me all the time." Anata said.
Kami smiled and shook his head. "I'll tell her."
"And give her this." Said Anata as she started to remove the necklace that Kou had given her for Christmas many years ago.
Kami smiled and too the cross necklace in his hands. "I'll give it to her..."
On Earth, Kou stood at the phone with the receiver close to his ear with a sadden expression. "Y... Yes, I understand." Kou said before hanging the phone up, he then closed his eyes and looked up looking for an answer. How was he going to tell his daughter about her mother? How was he going to tell her that her mother will not be there for her when she will need her mother the most? These thoughts went through Kou's head but they didn't have long to do so, because Kou soon found him self at his little girls bedroom door.
Kou knocked on his daughter's bedroom door. "Aya... May I come in?" Kou asked, waiting for an answer... he didn't need to wait long.
"Yes poppa?"
Kou took an other deep breath before opening the door. When he opened the door, he found his daughter Aya looking at him like she already knew that there was something bad had happened.
"Yes poppa, what is it?" Aya asked again.
"Oh... Uh... Aya the heavens needed you mother. She will not be home for a vary long time." Kou said, holding back his own need to weep.
"What did Great grandpa need momma for?" asked the little girl.
Kou looked over at his little girl as he sat beside her on the edge of her bed, but as he did for a split second he saw Anata looking right back at him.
"You're Great grandfather didn't say, all I know is that she's going to be away for a long time. But she'll be able to watch over us." Kou replied, trying to keep things in such a way that a six year old can understand.
Aya smiled back up at her father, a smile that can lighten anyone's day. "Then I want to be a goddess like momma and grandma, then maybe I can see momma sooner."
Kou smiled back. "Yes... yes perhaps you're right. And you'll be come a lovely goddess."
But meanwhile at the lunar prisons, Anata was being lead to her cell by four other high level Gods and goddesses. Then they stopped when Kami came around a corner.
"I'll take her." Kami ordered, making the four leave Anata and Kami.
Anata waited until the gods and goddesses where gone, when she was sure she turned to her grandfather. "So here to see me off?"
"Like I said, I will come and see you everyday. And here take this." Kami said handing Anata a wooden box.
"What is it?" Anata asked opening the box to find a crystal ball.
"It's a crystal ball that will let you watch over your family at all times." Kami replied.
Closing the box, Anata reached behind her neck and removed her cross necklace that Kou had gotten her many years ago. One it was off, Anata handed it to her grandfather. "Can you give this to Kou and tell him to give it to Aya?" Said Anata. "I want her to have something from me, to remember my by."
Nodding, Kami held the cross close to him before giving his granddaughter a hug. "I'll do that... And Aya will grow to be a lovely, powerful Goddess like her mother and grandmother, I'll see to it."
Sniffing and clearing the tears from her eyes, Anata walked in to her cell. That surprisingly looked like her and Kou's old apartment from back in her collage days. "A bit roomy?"
"You're going to be here for a long time. If there is anything you need just ask. When I come to visit you everyday."
Anata nodded then before she knew it the door to her cell slammed shut and she fell to her knees crying. She would cry her self to sleep this night and many nights to come...
Earth ten years later....
"Aya! Time to get ready for school!"
Opening her eyes to the sound of her father calling for her, Aya looked up at the ceiling. Then pulled the blanket up over her head.
'Another day... More of the same... More of the same stuff at school and life... I just want something to happen in my life that I can tell me future kids about.'
"Aya I said it's time to get ready for school." Said Kou opening the door to Aya's bedroom, to find his daughter sitting up in bed half asleep. "Good you are... No never mind. You're not all away awake." Kou said with a sigh. "Just like your mother...AYA!"
"What?! I'm up, leave and let me sleep!" Screamed Aya, as she grabbed the blanket and pulled it up over her self and flopping back in her bad.
Shaking his head, Kou walked over to the window and opened the blinds letting in the bright morning sun. Then he turned to Aya. "So what time did you get home last night?"
"Like you don't know?" The lump of blankets asked back.
"I know, but I'd rather hear it from you. I really don't know why you do those things, when you know you have school in the morning." Said Kou, "I hope that your grandparents can help."
Sitting up in her bed again, Aya looked over at her father. Her light, vary light blue hair messy and slightly covering her face. "Grandma and Grandpa are coming?" she asked.
"They're be here after school to pick you up. Remember the starting of you goddess training?" Kou reminded. "It's all you talked about just a month ago."
Aya looked back at her father with a blank look, a look that made him shake his head and sigh. "Breakfast will be ready by the time you get ready from school."
Kou then walked out of his daughter's room and went down stairs to finish making breakfast. Back up in Aya's room she looked up at the ceiling. 'My Goddess training? I don't feel like a goddess, but that's what my momma and grandma are..... My poppa is even a god, but I've never seen him use his powers... '
"I don't hear you moving!" Kou called back to his daughter, making her sigh.
A/N: Okay that's a little peek in to what's going to happen way down the road, I'm still working out the finer details but this is going to cool I think a multiple generational story, by the end of the seventh story spanning some thirty-five, forty years. But I'll tell you guys this muck the seventh story is going to be nothing like what you've seen me post in the past. It's going to have everything in it. Well hope this is enough for you guys for about a week. That way I'll have some more for ya.
