Mortal Tendencies

Summary: Not related to any of the OMG story arcs directly, Belldandy is thrust into the complex life of being a normal "mortal" human being, and it could be permanent? Urd and Skuld frantically try to help her but it seems Bell can't remember ever being a Goddess. The sweet and sometimes naïve Belldandy gets a taste of what it's like to be a regular young woman, seedy side of life and all.

This isn't a self insertion fic, but only some of the original characters from the series will be involved. Could be some strong language occasionally and some sexual references or relationships so I've rated this story Teen. But I will try to keep it as clean as possible so more folks may be so inclined to read it.

Side note. I usually like to include Bell with Kei in most stories I think about writing or have written. This is one of the few exceptions, so with that said, I'll get on with it.

Disclaimer. I don't own Oh My Goddess or it's characters. Any character's that have reference to the OMG story line are property of Kosuke Fujishima and the publishers of his works. This is merely a fan based story that I couldn't make money off of even if I could, because frankly I can't touch the genius of Mr Fujishima, I've been captivated by his work for years. I hope he continues his story line as long as people will read it. I know I sure will.

Chapter 1

Accidents Will Happen

Urd awoke earlier than usual, as she yawned and stretched her arms above herself. She gently poked at Skuld to get her stirring.

Skuld: "Stop it Urd! Why are you up so early?"

Urd: "It's time to work with Belldandy today remember. She doesn't like for us to be late to the debugging room you know."

Skuld: "Yeah, I forgot. Sorry. Ever since.."

Urd: "Don't even think that little twerp. Remember it was your big mouth that got her upset the last time you opened it okay? It took me a month and a half to get her calmed down, and not thinking about that."

Skuld: "I said I was sorry OK! I won't ever mention it again."

Urd: "Well you know how badly that affected her she didn't speak to hardly anyone for almost 6 months, I'll not have her depressed like that ever again. Understand?"

Skuld: "I know, let's just go already before we're late."

Urd was referencing the death of Belldandy's beloved. He lived a very long and fruitful and joyous life with her. But alas she knew always that day would come. He was a mortal after all. And he did live well beyond that of most. Even she, the Goddess Belldandy. 1st class second category unlimited, could not interfere with the life cycle of the mortals it was strictly forbidden. Even after pleading and begging her father, the Great one, Kami-Sama he could not allow such a thing to happen. It never had, since the existence of time. This left the Goddess in severe disarray, even though she knew that the time would come one day. Since then, the sweet and beautiful Belldandy had returned to her duties at the Goddess Help line, not as an assistant but as a supervisor. This way she would not likely have a similar charge to look after like her beloved. She simply did not want to have to feel those feelings like that again, ever.

Belldandy: "Good it seems you two finally get here on time? " she smiled at them weakly.

Urd: "Yes Belldandy. So how are things going this morning?"

Skuld: "What kind of problems do we need to look at today?"

Belldandy sat in her office chair as she thumbed through the screens at her disposal.

Bell: "Well, we still have this (pointing at the screen) to contend with. It appears that anomaly keeps coming back. It's severely limiting the transport medias of the Help line. I'm really very concerned, if it continues at the rate it is, we'll have to close operations to quarantine the system to correct it. You know father will not like this. The last time we had to do that, World War 2 happened. He was very, very upset remember?"

Urd: "Boy do I ever. I've never seen him so mad. That was the angriest I'd seen him since the Tower of Babel."

Bell: " Then you see how important this is to us right?"

Skuld: " Yes. We'll get it taken care of Big sis. Even if we have to work a week of overtime!"

Bell: "Well let's hope it doesn't take that long or we could all be in big trouble. "

Urd: "We'll handle it Bell. I'll see to it personally. I have to I'm senior programming specialist, remember?"

Bell: " I know Urd, Skuld. Just do your best."

Urd & Skuld :" Yes Sister!"

Belldandy sighed slightly. Urd could tell it was starting to get to her again.

Urd: "Say Bell?"

Bell: " 'er..Yes..Urd"

Urd: " Can we three go take a shopping trip once we get this anomaly squared away. It's been so long since the three of us had fun together. Please?"

Bell suddenly brightened up a bit, thinking of the fun they used to have when they were always together doing things as sisters like they should.

Bell: " Sure Urd I'd love it. It's been quite a while since we had fun, just the three of us then? "

Skuld: "Yahoo! I love to shop. I'd like to try some new ice cream I've heard about.."

Urd: " Yeah, that's good old Skuld huh?"

They all three laughed at the comment as they sat down in they're chairs to begin working on the problem at hand.
