I don't like to keep people waiting too long for my fics to be updated- sp be assured I won't leave you hanging for too long… but I must say reviewing does boost the ego and makes my creativity soar… *hint hint* ;)
Oh well- another week of hell over with- But it's only a few days till Kate's favorite day of this year- the release of her favorite show- Cowboy Bebop- the movie :) I luv that show- it's perfect- it's got the bishies, and the shexy (I know I spelt it wrong- it's the way I say it) Spike person. Well, I'm more after his voice actor whore of a voice David Lucas/Steven Jay Blum… I seriously want to stalk him and make him read the phone book to me… I melt at his voice- anyway, I know Kate needs help- but I enjoy being an obsessive fan girl!

Chapter 4
"Finally!" Urd sighed. "Remind me to thank Keiichi's sister. I've wanted to slap some sense into him all day!"
"Will you be quiet?" Skuld said angrily putting her hand over Urd's mouth.
"They'll hear us and then what are we suppose to do?"
"Oh you be quiet!" Urd said as she pulled Skuld's hand away. "You want sis back to normal right? Well it's going to take forever to get them to actually open up without us!" Urd justified her meddling as she left Skuld sitting in the tree to get a better look at what Keiichi and Belldandy were doing.
-
"Um… I guess we should get you home." Keiichi smiled as he rubbed the back of his neck. Belldandy gave him a friendly smile. Leading her over to the garage where they kept the motorcycles they walked in silence. Both where unsure of what to say to each other. Handing her a helmet he put one on himself. He got on the bike like it was second nature. Belldandy however didn't know what exactly to do. She would have to hold on to him…but that didn't sound like such a bad thing the more she thought about it.
Tucking her skirt neatly underneath her she sat on the bike's cushion side saddled. Keiichi started the motor and slowly let out the clutch.
But instead of starting off nicely, the cycle jerked and they sped off. Bell was forced to grab a hold of Keiichi or risk falling off. Her arms went around his back and held firmly to his stomach. She kept her body tightly up against his back as they sped down the road. Instead of an uncomfortable gesture between strangers, this just felt right somehow.
Keiichi tried to forget the fact that her arms were around his waist, and her soft body was pressed against his. All he could think about was the beautiful girl holding onto him. A slight dip in the pavement jerked him back to reality.
'ROAD! Focus on the road!' His mind screamed. Sheepishly he focused his full attention on driving, hoping the beautiful girl behind him hadn't noticed. The rest of the ride was silent except for Bell's angelic voice giving a few directions. It was strange, but Keiichi's brain seemed to already know that way, it was like he had driven it before…
-
Urd couldn't help but hold back laughter as she saw Keiichi's face as his bike jumped instead of letting out easy like he tried. She heard her little sister coming up behind ready to hit her again, but Urd flew out of the way. Skuld went crashing into the tree branches.
She sat there looking very mad while Urd laughed at her.
"Don't worry!" Urd reassured her sister as soon as she could control her chuckles.
"…"
Before Skuld could try and talk some sense into her older sister, the tall goddess interrupted her.
"Will you hurry? We have to get back to the shrine before they do!" Urd said, motioning for the younger goddess to get up and follow. "You're the one who is going to get us caught." Skuld stuck her tongue out. Urd just smiled devilishly as they took off towards home.
-
The sun was falling off the horizon as Keiichi and Bell whizzed up the quiet streets towards the shrine. Keiichi was still marveling in the closeness and her lips near his ear. Her breath would momentarily tickle his ear and occasionally her long hair would brush against his neck, causing a pleasant sensation to tingle all the way up his back.
As they reached their destination both riders were a bit saddened, but neither would say anything to the other.
Instead, they simply smiled at the awkwardness of the new silence.
"Would you care to come in for a cup of tea before you return?" Bell asked, ever the courteous hostess.
Keiichi shifted his helmet awkwardly to his other arm while pondering his options. He was reminded of too many movies with romantic conversations and goodbyes over tea. Then again, he definitely wanted to kiss
her like they did in the movies and romance manga his sister had and didn't know he read...
'Kiss her! Sweep her off her feet and ravish her lips!' A voice told him. 'You know you want to!' The voice continued. 'You love her- so do something about it. C'mon now, you've waited this long!…'Ouch hey knock that off!' The voice screamed and ended- little did he know that a certain goddess was trying to influence him.
'Wait a minute...where did THAT come from?' He wondered. The mental conversation was interrupted by Bell's sweet voice.
"It looks like my sisters are home." She remarked, smiling as a loud crash sounded from inside the shrine. Suddenly Skuld came running out of the doors with an angry Urd hot on her heels. They had arrived only minutes earlier to change out of their goddess attire and were, to all outsiders, normal looking people.
"Help!" Skuld cried as she ran towards Belldandy. Urd stopped in her tracks, still rubbing her head. A good sized lump was throbbing from among her white locks.
"Let me at her!" Urd growled as she rolled up her sleeves and cracked her knuckles menacingly
"Urd…Skuld…please stop this." Belldandy said, trying to calm down her irate sister.
"Um… it looks like you have your hands full here at the moment." Keiichi said shyly. He shifted from foot to foot. "So… I…I think I'll be going." he said finally, instantly regretting his decision as he saw the sad look on her face.
"I see." She said trying to hide the hint of sadness in her voice.
"Well...I'll see you tomorrow at school right?" She asked as she handed him the helmet she had used.
"Sure. I'll be there, rise or shine. Er, rain or shine. Bye." He said quickly, and took off down the street. The redness in his face was as much due his stupid tongue as to the odd smirk Belldandy's older sister had worn
only moments before. When he was only a speck on the street, Urd and Skuld couldn't help but notice Belldandy's frown. It was unusual for her…the two slowly made their way back into the shrine feeling
ashamed at their actions. They knew they had both ruined a perfect moment for the two.
Belldandy stood there even after she could no longer see Keiichi driving away. A sudden sadness had gripped at her heart as he made his hasty parting. Tears came and welled up in her eyes as the happiness she had found that day drained away.
The breeze even felt colder than usual as she walked slowly back inside her home. Her sisters had seemed to vanish as well. 'At least they're not fighting any more.' The optimist side of Bell tried to cheer her up, but it didn't work.
'What's wrong with me?' She asked herself as she got ready for bed. Looking into the mirror she could find no answer as to why Keiichi didn't seem to like her back. There was just something about him…she felt the happiest she ever was when she was near him… but he must not have felt the same way...why else would he have left so fast?
-
Keiichi kept replaying his stupid actions. He regretted turning down her offer of tea and a chance to talk and get to know the girl that had such a hold on him. He was truly drawn to her, and there was no explanation for it. He couldn't fully understanding the logic of how she could have this effect on him since he had only known her not even two short days. Nevertheless, it was true…
When he returned to the club house, it was dark. After putting his bike back in the garage, he started walking towards the dorms. The trip up to his room was uneventful, and he paused only long enough to throw off his shirt and yawn before crawling under his blankets. 'Hopefully tomorrow will be better.' He mumbled, and drifted off to a sweet dream of a girl his heart identified as a goddess.
