Chapter 6: Love Tested; The past haunts us

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Belldandy and Keiichi's love life was… peachy… if I did state that right. I mean they've been going out on dates and Keiichi seemed to be too shy for Belldandy, no matter how much she tells him to be okay. But deep down his gut, I know that he loves her.

That's were the trouble brews. A certain goddess was really pissed off at how Keiichi is going around with Belldandy. So she devised plans on getting them to bed together. For all I care, I'd love to watch that but… relationships such as that take a long time, it's not easy to present your feelings to a beautiful girl. Not to mention a goddess as well. But Urd got bored with it and made a few 'actions' to increase the progress of the couple.

Well after mistakes (Not to mention Keiichi's action on Sayoko…) She was banned to return to the heavens by Kami-sama and had to stay on earth until further notice. Kami-sama also, for a known reason, also sent a message to them about me, that I would be there at their house to keep an eye at Urd. And the known reason is Belldandy.

So I moved in with them in their house/ temple what ever you want to call it. I settled for a room of my own and put some of my emergency materials in there. Though I did go back and forth with my garage and the temple. As for Urd… well she transferred new stuff in her room… including her heart shaped bed and her 'castle', which would be filled with her potions and spells. Belldandy still had her own room, not much from Urd though. Keiichi stayed in his own room as well. But Urd did not stop from getting the two together.

A couple of weeks later a race came in. Keiichi was forced to drive and was given quite a few parts. Megumi and Myself helped out, after getting acquainted. That's when problem number two arrived.

Skuld has been freaking out in the heavens, as she can't take it anymore. Without her sisters, she well… came down to earth. Unfortunately she whacked Keiichi in the head with her mallet. She also hit me for not being there in the heavens. But she did assist in fixing the calculations on the bike making it faster and durable. Though she did improved the other teams bike. Keiichi almost lost but with the help of his will and my psychic powers. He managed to beat the other rider. But that did not stop there…

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The roaring audience roared for Keiichi who won against Aoshima's team. Megumi reeled Keiichi back in with her tiny motorcycle. Keiichi was wearing a blue and white jump suit with the logo of the Motor Club on his back, his name in bold letters on his sleeve.

"Keiichi!" Belldandy cried out when Keiichi got off his bike and removed his helmet. Belldandy raced for him for a hug. Urd and the others followed along. Skuld walked towards the mass producing crowd.

Everyone paused at what they were doing when the announcer blared out a speech.

"To Mr. Morisato, there is another drag race to be made. This match is only a challenge. It will not qualify for any sort at all. Please park your bike in the start up line immediately."

Keiichi looked confused at the others. "A challenge?"

Everyone else blinked and Megumi was first to recover.

"Well Kei, it's not like if you lose, you lose it's just a duel type race." Megumi explained.

"Hmm." Keiichi nodded then he looked towards Belldandy and the others, "Well looks like I have to race."

"ALLL RIGHT! THAT'S THE SPIRIT MORISATO!" Tamiya and Otaki shouted.

"Go Kei boy!" Urd praised him.

"Please be safe Keiichi…" Belldandy clasped her hands together.

"I will." Keiichi said when he went back to the starting line.

A little later…

Keiichi was now beside his bike, waiting for his opponent. He looked to the side to see the enemies bike covered with a white-silver blanket. The rider then came up next to the bike with his helmet on.

Keiichi observed him but did not recognize him at all. He was wearing a black jump suit with a long scarf split into two in the back. His helmet covered his head.

'Wonder who this guy could be…' Keiichi thought. His thoughts were cut when the announcer started.

"This will be the last race for the day. The champion of today's matches Keiichi Morisato from the Nekomi Motor Club is up against one of our sponsors the Dragon Auto Shop. Please be ready in a few moments."

Keiichi mounted on his bike, while the other driver took the blanket off and jumped into his respective bike. The bike was pure whit in color and had a metal emblem on the side that looks like a dragon's head. (In other words it's a highly modified PCJ-600 with guiders to the side and a GPS system. As well as a nitrous system)

Belldandy and the others came back from the refreshments to see Keiichi was about to race. She frantically ran for him with the others. Then she stopped and froze in her tracks. The group also stopped to see who Keiichi is up against.

Urd and Skuld cam by Belldandy and recognize who was the driver.

Urd could only mutter, "No way…"

The Red light was flashed on and both drivers were now ready to fire up their engines.

4… Keiichi was glancing at the other driver.

3… Belldandy was praying for his Keiichi.

2… Everything was silent…

1… Keiichi felt a drop of sweat from his head

0… "Try your best Keiichi." A voice came to his head.

And the green light came on and both drivers revved up their engines leaving a long black strip of dirt in the ground as they raced to the goal. Keiichi could feel everything baring down on him by the winds. Both bike were at a steady pace.

'COME ON!' Keiichi shouted in his head.

A quick sonic wind blew past the finish line and both drivers skidded to a stop. The silver driver came to a stop with the hand breaks, turning the his bike an angle from where he started to the left. Keiichi just stopped.

Both of them waited for the scores with everyone else and were absolutely stunned at what they saw.

Silver A: 1: 43 :06

Blue B: 1: 43 :06

Keiichi who was still stunned at what he had done did not notice the other driver holding a hand out to him. When keiichi noticed he grabbed it and shook it.

"You did well." The mysterious driver said.

"You too." Keiichi stared back at the man.

The Motor club came rushing down to the two with praises and worship for the great tie. Belldandy was happy for Keiichi.

The other driver removed his mask and let his blonde-golden hair to feel the fresh wind. Belldandy and the others were shocked to see 'him'.

"Hiya guys!" Mist waved his free hand.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yeah I joined the competition because I had reasons. One was that I supported the race with the funds I've been saving from my business named "Dragon Auto Shop". Another would be to test out the new bike I've been working on. And lastly would be if Keiichi really had the guts to go against me.

One month before Christmas, an accident ensured in my presence. A new enemy which I don't know who it was. Then I found out that she was Slyatress' daughter, Sarah. She wanted revenge and we fought. Since she inherited almost every power her mom had. I had a tough time not exceeding the powers of a class 0 god. But in the end I had to release it and fend her back. I tried reasoning with her, but she was too deep to be dug out of her revenge. After the battle I know I was in deep trouble and Belldandy was also in that category.

Six days before Christmas is when everything fell apart. Belldandy was issued a recall. Because of the bugs that have been appearing in the Ultimate Force system and on earth as well. That was their reason, but for me it was myself that put Belldandy into that position. Since the bugs came, Belldandy and Keiichi had been really distance wise, and I despised it.

I talked to keiichi, I said to him that 'You've go to give her a present for this, I mean it is about time for Christmas right?'. He agreed on it and thought of the things he could buy for her that was memorable. 2 days after the recall notice, Keiichi remembered everything that was erased from him in a dream, so a ring he had decided.

For the next 2 days, he worked his butt off to get some pay for a ring. I said I'd loan him some money, but he declined. Then it hit me. I still had the ring from the day back. So the night before the recall, I enlarge the ring a little so it could fit Belldandy. Early in the morning I 'disposed' the clerk for the day and replaced her. I put the ring on a box and put it in display. Keiichi came in and was shocked when he saw me… but he was with business and bought the ring right away. I followed him (Yeah closed the shop) with my air shoes.

By the time Keiichi got there, Belldandy was already being pulled up to the sky. I arrived a little later, having a mental conflict.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Belldandy was now being pulled upward by the heavenly gate, while keiichi tried to get in with the ring he just bought. Mist stood still, anger filling inside him. Urd and Skuld on the other hand were hurrying up something on the ground.

"THAT'S IT!" Mist shouted when Belldandy was a meter of the ground and Keiichi was more than 6 feet away from Belldandy. He spread his arms forward and summoned two awfully large weapons out of nowhere. He locked on the top of the column of light and narrowed his eyes.

Urd and Skuld finished what they were doing when Urd chanted a spell out, producing shockwaves of energy from what it looks like a gigantic circle of god's writing.

A golden aura enveloped Mist like a firestorm was surrounding him, as his hair became golden and swayed by his upward flow of powers, his perfectly brown eyes went to a state of a deep glow of white. The ground beneath him began to crack forming an impact, mist in the middle of the cracks.

"I… Promised you… that I will protect you and help you….until I DIE!" Mist shouted the last parts of his speech, "METEOR STREAM LASER!"

Urd finished chanting and let loose her spell into the morning sky. From Mist's weapons, two solid beams of light hit the top of the Recall gate. Suddenly there was a bright flash surrounding every one. Belldandy was shocked and froze in mid air.

"BELL---DANDYY!" Keiichi screamed as the white light enveloped him.
