Disclaimer: I definitely do not own anything from the "Oh My Goddess!" or "Pokemon" series. This story was a random idea that entered my head years ago. The characters all belong to their respective creators, and the credit for their existence therefore goes to those people. And the weirdness of this story is all thanks to the fact that I was a little fool when I started writing it.

Chapter 5
Secrets

The party had been simply exhausting. Skuld had done her best to keep Ash and Misty distracted, though she wasn't sure it worked, and she was beat. She'd had to resort to the mortal form of rest: sleep. The same went for Urd, as she had kept the lonely Brock company just about the entire night, and she too found herself seeking out the nearest bed and collapsing onto it. They were both asleep before Belldandy, as she found it necessary to give Keiichi one last cup of tea before he hit the sack as well.

Both Keiichi and Belldandy could be found in the kitchen in the morning, Belldandy fixing Keiichi's meal, and Keiichi sipping the cup of tea that Belldandy always fixed lovingly for him in the morning. He sighed, content, when he heard a door swing open and heavy footsteps follow.

"Mornin' Urd," he said nonchalantly, not even bothering to look up.

"Same to you," she said casually. "You have fun last night, K-boy?" Keiichi narrowed his eyes at Urd, threatening her without saying a word. Urd smiled mischievously, and then dropped the topic. "Where's my sister?"

"Fixin' up some breakfast," Kei said, finally putting his cup down on the table. He then looked at Urd and shrugged slightly. "Where else would she be?"

Urd laughed at that, then stretched her tired limbs and yawned. "Time to open up shop?" she asked wearily.

"That's right," Bell answered her as she came in with Keiichi's meal. "You don't mind, do you?"

"No, not at all," Urd replied with another yawn. "Give me a sec."

Keiichi reached for his tray, smiling at Belldandy, and began to dig into his food. Once Urd exited the kitchen area, Skuld entered it. She didn't look as tired as she had the morning before, but it was still obvious that she was still somewhat wiped out from the party. She glanced at Belldandy and smiled drowsily.

"G'mornin'," she said. "Can I have some ice cream, sis?"

Belldandy smiled. "Of course, Skuld!"

She then turned around and searched the freezer for some ice cream. She didn't take long, and returned promptly with a tub of ice cream for Skuld. Through her drowsiness, Skuld reached over to the tub and slowly began to eat the ice cream. Keiichi watched, wide-eyed. He'd never seen Skuld eat ice cream so slowly before. Bell simply smiled cheerfully, and then seated herself at the table.

Goddess and man looked at each other, warm smiles on both their faces. Keiichi turned his attention to his food, but Belldandy didn't look away from him. He wondered briefly if he was blushing, and if Bell could see the red in his cheeks. Skuld was busy with her ice cream, so she couldn't notice. Was his face red? Was it obvious? Keiichi stuffed more food into his mouth, hoping to calm himself down.

"Morning all!" Urd said as she re-entered, pulling out a seat and plopping down into it. "Shop's open."

"Good morning to you too, Urd," Belldandy chirped with a smile. "Would you like some sake?"

"You know it," the eldest goddess replied. She smiled at her little sister.

"All right then, Urd," Belldandy answered. "Just give me a moment, all right?"

Bell smiled warmly as she rose from her seat and went back into the kitchen. Keiichi watched Belldandy walk away, placing another bit of his meal into his mouth, then looked over at Urd. Urd had her arms over her head, whistling as she waited for Belldandy to return. Whistling just like she had the morning before.

Keiichi didn't think he'd ever get these goddesses figured out. Every other guy in the world had trouble trying to figure out his normal, human girlfriend. For one Keiichi Morisato, he had three, sometimes even four goddesses to worry about. That didn't matter though. To Keiichi, Belldandy was worth everything that he'd been through.

She returned just as promptly for Urd as she had for Skuld, and handed her the cup of sake with her usual bright smile. As she was about to seat herself, Belldandy remembered something and stood up straight once again. "I almost forgot! I made a cake, would anybody like some?"

Skuld froze, a spoon of ice cream sticking out of her mouth. It took her a moment to react, but she then removed the spoon and looked at Belldandy, her eyes aglow. "I'd like some, sis!"

Urd looked at Skuld out of one emerald green eye, then a small smirk crawled across her face. "In that case, I'd like some, too." She then took a large gulp of her sake.

The goddess then turned her blue eyes onto her mortal boyfriend. "Would you like some cake, Keiichi?"

Keiichi, his mouth full of food, pointed at himself, his eyes wide with wonder. Belldandy nodded at him in response as he swallowed his food down. "Um, sure! That'd be great! Thanks, Bell!"

All three pairs of eyes watched as Belldandy left the table once again to retrieve the cake. Then Urd and Skuld looked at each other, Skuld's mouth stuffed with ice cream, challenging one another to their usual dual. Keiichi slapped his forehead. Here we go again.

"Here you go everybody," Bell said as she returned and put the cake down on the table. Skuld swallowed the ice cream in her mouth and reached out for the cake. Urd lunged forward as well and managed to grab the plate before Skuld's hand could reach a slice.

"Hey!" The little goddess lunged at Urd, but her eldest sister simply dodged.

Both goddesses were now on their feet, their chairs having toppled onto the linoleum floor. Keiichi stared at the chairs in wide eyed shock, and then looked back at the goddesses. He lifted one hand into the air, wondering whether or not he ought to try and stop them.

"Now, now, Skuld," Urd said calmly with a naughty grin. "Seeing as to the fact that I am the oldest, I should get the most slices."

"WHAT!" Skuld shrieked in response, still reaching for the plate. "THAT'S NOT FAIR!"

"Oh, yes it is, sister dear," Urd responded, wagging her finger.

"Oh no it's not!" With that, Skuld jumped at Urd, this time making contact, and attempted to snatch the plate out of Urd's hand.

Her limbs were simply too long for Skuld. Urd merely kept one hand on Skuld's forehead, and kept the cake well out of the little one's reach. Keiichi looked over at Belldandy and was shocked to see her look even the slightest bit angry. Bell reached down and took the plate out of Urd's hand. Both Urd and Skuld stopped and looked up at Belldandy. She looked incredibly serious.

"If you two start fighting again," Bell scolded them, "then I'm going to have to punish you."

Urd's mind wandered back to the incident with Mara at the hot spring resort, and the way Bell had punished them for fighting. She could still remember it… If Urd had to endure that with Skuld…! She slid out from underneath Skuld and sat back down in her chair.

"Bell, may I have a slice of cake?" she asked.

That's better! "Of course, Urd! I'll get it for you."

Keiichi was speechless. As Skuld sat down in her seat, Keiichi stood, pulled on his doctor's coat and headed out to see if any trainers had arrived. Belldandy looked up at Keiichi and simply smiled as he excused himself to the lobby.

As he turned around to face the Pokémon Center, he got quite a big shock. "H-Huh?"

The lobby was already full of trainers, and at least half of them had formed a line at the counter. The ones up front were glaring at Keiichi, some of them yelling at him furiously for coming out late. Startled, Keiichi checked his watch. His eyes widened in horror as he read the time. Nine o'clock. It seemed they had all slept in. Keiichi turned to the trainers and bowed apologetically.

"I'm very sorry for the delay!" he cried to them all, his head lowered to the ground. He then looked back up and offered them the best smile he could muster. "Welcome to our Pokémon center. Would you like us to heal your Pokémon?"

Skuld had been staring at the clock for the past hour or so. It seemed all the male trainers were going to Belldandy and Urd for assistance, and all the girls going either to Belldandy or Keiichi. So how did that leave Skuld? Utterly bored. She began to fiddle with the angel egg pendant around her neck, and considered for a moment swallowing the egg again. Skuld missed her angel, but she knew that she just wasn't powerful enough yet to handle her angel properly. She sighed, and returned to staring at the clock.

"Hey, Skuld!"

The youngest goddess looked up and straight into the familiar faces of Ash, Misty, and Brock. Not to mention little Pikachu. She smiled at them happily and greeted them a good morning.

"Hey! What's up?"

"We're all feeling great, but some of Ash's Pokémon aren't so lucky," Misty said with a loud snort, clutching Togepi close to her.

Her companions only sighed. Ash pushed his tray of PokéBalls forward, and gently placed Pikachu with them. "We got into a couple of serious battles on our way out," he explained.

"He won them all," Brock continued. "But his Pokémon were in terrible shape. So we had to turn around and get them healed up."

"Okay, leave it to me, Ash!" Skuld said with a wink as she pulled the tray close to her and patted Pikachu on the head. She looked up at the rest of Ash's crew. "What about you two?"

"I'm not that irresponsible!" Misty said with another snort.

Ash cast her a murderous glance. "WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?"

"Naw, I'm fine," Brock said at the same time as Ash, smiling slightly.

Skuld blinked, smiled, then shrugged. "That's okay. I'll be back in a bit. Why don't you guys go over there and wait? I'll call you guys once Ash's Pokémon are out."

She waved as they walked to a sofa nearby. Seeing as there were no other trainers in her line, the little goddess took the tray with her into the recovery room. Pikachu looked up at her with a little smile, its ears and tail moving as a reaction to its surroundings.

"Pikachu!" it squealed at her.

The so-called nurse smiled happily at it, not knowing what it had said, but figuring that it was some kind of greeting. Skuld continued along and pushed open the swinging doors of the recovery room.

Eleven fifty-five.

Urd yawned and put her arms up over her head. There were no trainers in her line. How boring was this? She'd given up the animé marathon for this? She sighed and looked around. Her emerald eyes caught on Ash and Misty, seating themselves and arguing the whole way, with Brock between them doing his best to ignore their shouts. It suddenly dawned on her that she hadn't had a chance to give Ash and Misty that vital shove.

Well, Urd thought with a mischievous smile, I'm sure that a good potion would do the trick. Maybe the one I used on Keiichi way back when...? Or maybe…

She glanced around the lobby, making sure that nobody was coming toward her. Urd then looked at her sister and Keiichi. It seemed they could handle the entire clinic on their own. Urd's smile deepened as she went into the backroom to teleport back to the temple, to quickly retrieve her love potion.

"Say, Belldandy."

Belldandy looked up slowly from the papers on the desk she'd been reading over and straight into Misty's sea-green eyes. She smiled brightly, placing the papers on hold for a moment.

"Yes, what is it, dear?" she answered softly.

The redhead trainer leaned on the counter. "I just wanted to know how you and Keiichi met."

The question seemed to trigger a moment of panic in Belldandy's mind. She would have been able to sense it if her younger sister had told Ash, Misty, and Brock about them being goddesses. How was she meant to answer? Goddesses first class can't lie! Fortunately for Belldandy, Keiichi somehow managed to sense that Misty had asked her about it and came to her rescue.

"Could you repeat the question, Misty?" Kei asked as he approached.

"How did you two meet?" she repeated, looking over at Keiichi. "It was just something that came up in conversation last night."

Bell said nothing and looked to Keiichi for a response.

He had one. Keiichi began to rub the back of his head, with an embarrassed smile on his face. "Well, y'see, we had assigned seats in college and ours were right next to each other, that's all."

The sea-green eyes of the young trainer were skeptical. "Okay." That'll do it for now.

Belldandy's mortal boyfriend smiled faintly. "Anything else you need to know?"

Misty leaned back, smiling at Keiichi. "Nope, nothing else on my mind. I'll see you guys later."

As the young trainer walked away, Belldandy sighed loudly, attracting all the attention of her boyfriend. He laid one hand hesitantly on her back. "Are you alright, Bell?"

"Yes, I'm fine," she replied. "It's just that… I panicked, Keiichi."

"You didn't tell them, Belldandy," he said. "Everything's fine. You don't have to be upset."

"I suppose so," she said with a faint smile. "I'm sorry for worrying."

Twelve thirty.

Urd emerged from the television screen cautiously, checking to make sure that no one was looking in. Seeing that no eyes were on the backroom, she pulled herself the rest of the way out from the screen, one hand holding onto a small unlabeled bottle. It was full of a strange dark blue liquid. It was Urd's love potion. The very same one that Keiichi had taken when the two of them (meaning Belldandy and Keiichi) went to the beach for the first time. She pulled her bare foot free and hurried to prepare a glass of orange juice.

Now, Urd found herself with another small problem as she pulled out a plastic cup from the cupboard. Who to give the potion to? She opened the bottle and began to pour the love potion into the juice and stirred it up for a moment or so. Not Misty. Urd got the feeling that Misty was already perfectly aware of her feelings. So it had to be Ash, the dense little trainer who was completely occupied with his training. She smiled to herself. Just as well, boys were easier to handle anyway.

Urd quietly slipped into the lobby, cup in hand, and approached the familiar trio.

"Mornin' all," she said casually, faking a sip of the orange juice.

Brock's face turned beet red again, forcing Urd to stifle a laugh. "G-good morning, M-miss Urd."

"Good morning," Misty said with a smile.

There was no response from Ash. It was probably best not to ask what was wrong. "Care for a drink, Ash?" Urd offered.

A pair of brown eyes looked up at her from under the bill of Ash's hat, then at the cup in her hand. He shrugged carelessly, with, "Sure, why not?"

Took it hook, line, and sinker, Urd thought to herself wickedly as she held the cup out for him.

The young trainer took the cup in his gloved hands, shook it around for a moment, and finally took a good long sip. Urd tried to hide her eagerness in seeing the effect of her potion. She lowered her voice as she leaned in to speak to Misty.

"So what's wrong with your friend this morning?" she whispered, her eyes still fixed on Ash.

Misty sighed. "He's just worried about his Pokémon. He gets like this sometimes, after a real hard battle. Just give him some time."

Yes, time… Any moment now, he should fall asleep, Urd thought, waiting for Ash's eyes to dim and for him to fall asleep.

Ash put the cup down and made a face at the bitter taste of the mixed in potion. He looked over at Urd, his face twisted in disgust. "How can you stand this stuff? Don't you like sugar?"

Urd laughed at the remark, lightening the gloomy mood that seemed to have engulfed the trio. Ash then turned away, still making faces of disgust. Misty chuckled at him for a while, before turning back to talk to Urd. Urd looked over at Brock, and then seated herself beside him so she could talk and watch Ash without looking too conspicuous.

"Ah well," Urd sighed casually. "How'd you guys like the party last night?"

Brock's face was still red. "Thank you for dancing with me Miss Urd," he managed to mumble. "I had fun. M-maybe we could dance again sometime."

Well, Urd being Urd, decided that she agreed to that. "Maybe we could," she smiled.

His face seemed to glow red at that comment. Misty sighed and looked away from them and turned around to look at Ash. Urd had to stop herself from grinning when she saw that his eyes were dim and weary.

"Ash? Ash, are you okay?" Misty was asking him.

"Uh-huh," he muttered. "I'm just… gonna… take a nap."

Ash's eyes closed as he laid himself down on his side. The worry was obvious on Misty's face when she turned back to the conversation. Urd rose to her feet and picked up the cup she'd offered him. It had been knocked over and spilled on the floor. The remaining juice dripped onto the floor and Urd shook her head sadly, feigning disappointment.

"I better go get this cleaned up," she said, mostly to herself.

She went back behind the counter, picking up a rag as she did so and placing the cup down on the counter. She'd have to clean the cup out later. Urd returned to Brock, Misty, and Ash's slumbering body with the rag in her hand. She whispered a spell that would make the rag absorb every molecule of juice that was on the floor. No evidence. Belldandy wouldn't find out that Urd had used a potion on Ash.

Urd laid the rag down on the orange juice and began to wipe the floor. She didn't really have to move the rag, but it was for the sake of looking normal. Misty and Brock were talking about something now, but Urd wasn't really paying any attention. She was still looking at Ash, aware that if he woke up at that very moment, he'd fall head over heels in love with her. She quietly walked away from him, and went to wash the cup of juice.

Belldandy handed the tray of PokéBalls to the trainer in front of her with a bright, cheery smile.

"Thank you for coming," she said. "We hope to see you again!"

She bowed politely and waved as the trainer made his exit. With her usual smile, Belldandy looked around the lobby. Many trainers were gathered in small groups, talking about their Pokémon (most likely, anyway) or grooming their Pokémon. Belldandy noticed Brock grooming his Vulpix, Misty by his side, either admiring its silky fur or teasing Brock about something (judging by the odd smirk on her face), and… Why was Ash asleep? Being the sweet, gentle first-class goddess that she was, Belldandy moved around the counter to find out what was wrong with the poor boy.

"Excuse me, Misty," Belldandy said softly as she tapped the young redhead on the shoulder.

Misty spun around and looked up at her. "What is it?"

The goddess's blue eyes moved to look over at Ash's slumbering body, then back at Misty. "Did something happen to him?"

"He's just fallen asleep, that's all," Misty answered. "I hope he wakes up soon though. I mean, we should be going soon."

"Ash!" Skuld yelled from the counter. "Hey, Ash! Your Pokémon are all ready!"

"Uh-oh. We better wake Ash up!" Brock commented as he put his Vulpix away. "His Pokémon are all set to go."

"I'll wake him up," Belldandy said with a smile, laying one hand on the boy's shoulder. Gently, she began to shake him, all the while saying his name softly. "Ash? Ash?"

Skuld watched Belldandy shake Ash awake and put her hands on her hips. Ash seemed to have fallen asleep pretty suddenly. Why should he be so hard to wake up? Just at that moment, Urd put her hands on Skuld's shoulders.

"Hey sis," Urd said casually. "What's going on?"

The little goddess glanced at her eldest sister. "Belldandy's trying to wake up Ash. I've got his Pokémon all set right here."

Uh oh.

Urd looked over at Belldandy and Ash, her head reeling. If Ash woke up, Urd's whole plan would be shot to pieces! It would be just like what happened with Keiichi, Belldandy, and Sayoko at the beach all that time ago. Urd remembered that well. She remembered hearing Keiichi's mind pleading for his body to stop, begging for control over his actions. Suddenly, an image of Belldandy shooting a bolt of energy at Urd surfaced in her head. That's right. Belldandy had almost knocked Urd unconscious because of what had happened.

I'm going to be in a whole lot of trouble.

"Ash? Ash?"

The voice seemed far away. It didn't seem to matter much. What time was it? Why was someone trying to wake him up? The voice… it was a girl's voice, definitely. Misty's? Mom? Who was it? Ash's head reeled, trying to figure it out in his sleep. Behind closed eyes. Wait, he wasn't asleep anymore. His eyes were merely closed.

He struggled to peel his brown eyes open, assuming that Misty's face would be the first thing he'd see. And he could somehow hear Urd's voice, encouraging that assumption. It took a moment for him to force his eyes open, and to gaze at Misty - No, not Misty.

Ash sat up properly. Belldandy…?

His vision began to focus properly. The clear blue eyes of Nurse Joy's substitute shone out first, then her brown hair. Ash opened his mouth to speak.

"Wow," is what came out. Huh? What the heck…?

Belldandy was suddenly very confused. "I… Excuse me?"

Ash reached out and grabbed her hand. "You're so beautiful, miss Belldandy!" What am I saying? What's wrong with me?

Horrified, Ash merely watched as Belldandy's face got closer and closer. Was he... Was he trying to kiss her! Belldandy fell backwards, evading Ash's approach. Ash started to freak out. Everything that came out of Ash's mouth had nothing to do with Ash's head. His head was reeling with this lack of control over his actions. What was happening? Why was he saying these things to Belldandy? He knew about Keiichi. He wouldn't dare do anything to screw things up between those two! So… what was going on?

Her face red with these strange comments, Belldandy rose to her feet and began to quickly back away from the young trainer. Unfortunately for her, Ash only rose to his feet and began to step closer. K-Keiichi… Where is he…? I… I need him…

"Ash, what in the world has gotten into you?" Misty's voice sounded hurt.

Brock had already risen to his feet and grabbed Ash's arm. "What do you think you're doing? What's wrong with you?"

His friend began to struggle against him, trying to wrench his arm free of Brock's grip. "Let go of me, Brock!" Help me, Brock! I… I can't control myself!

Suddenly, from behind, came an angry, "What the heck's goin' on around here?"

It was Keiichi, much to Belldandy's relief. "Oh, Keiichi!" Bell cried out, turning on her heel and hurrying toward her boyfriend, throwing her arms around him. Tears of embarrassment and frustration and sheer terror began to spill over her cheeks, dampening Keiichi's shoulder.

Very slowly, Urd stepped out from behind the counter as Skuld shot past her. It was… probably best to act natural. Belldandy could be vindictive, and Urd didn't want to be the stimulus for that. But then again, she may be so busy being terrified of the situation that she wouldn't even think to point a finger at her sister. Urd began running forward to catch up to her youngest sister, whose face was a combination of anger and terror.

Pikachu leapt off the tray of PokéBalls and began running toward its trainer as quickly as its little legs could take it. It felt a horrible imbalance between Ash's body and mind, somehow. Something was wrong with its master. Something… completely unnatural. And as Pikachu neared its trainer's feet, it could, somehow, hear Ash's thoughts, contradicting the words that were actually coming out of his mouth.

"Pikapi!" it screamed up at Ash. "Pikapi!"

Ash's eyes wandered over to Pikachu and lingered for a brief moment. Pikachu, help me!

The little Pokémon nodded, even though it knew that this was beyond its capabilities.

"What in the world were you thinking, Ash?" Skuld screamed at him, her little hands in tight fists.

"Let me go!" Ash continued to shout. It was like he chose not to hear anyone else. But he could. Skuld, maybe you … or Urd… please, somebody, help me! Can't anyone, aside from Pikachu, HEAR me!

"Why aren't you listening to me, Ash Ketchum?" Skuld's brown eyes were filling with hot, frustrated tears. "What are you trying to do to my sister?"

Urd laid a hand on Keiichi's shoulder. He turned his head sharply to look at her. "What the hell happened?"

His eyes were filled with anger and confusion; it looked like he was ready to kill someone. Urd had to make sure he didn't lash out at Ash. Her head began to swim, trying to calculate when the effects of the potion would wear off. Ever since the Sayoko incident (and the Peorth incident), Urd made sure that all of her potions eventually wore off. She had to conceal her disappointment once she found out the approximated time period of the potion. About a day. Or at least twelve hours.

Keiichi was now glaring at Ash, his eyes filled with absolute rage. He was about to separate from Belldandy and go knock some sense into Ash's thick skull, when he felt a hand grab his shoulder. Kei looked behind him and saw Urd, with a serious expression on her face. Then she looked at him and shook her head sadly.

"What do you think you're DOING, Ash?" Misty's voice.

Everyone turned to look at Misty. She had risen quickly to her feet and was looking at him straight in the face. Her sea green eyes were wild and fierce. Everyone winced with the loud smack her hand made upon impact of Ash's cheek.

Misty… Misty please… Help me!

His cheek was stinging from her slap. She was breathing hard as she stared at him. He wasn't going down. Rage suddenly filled her, and her fingers clenched into a fist. Misty pulled her arm back, ready to KO Ash. Brock looked shocked, and reached out to grab Misty's arm before she completed her blow.

"Misty! No!"

It was too late. Misty had given Ash a decent blow to the gut, just enough to bring him down for a few minutes. Ash could feel his body sink to ground, despite his efforts to keep himself on his feet. The pain surged through his body and overwhelmed him. Sleep... Sleep and the pain would go away... It was time to give up. Ash winced with the pain as his eyes squeezed shut and everything went black.
