Disclaimer : Ah! My goddess does not belong to me.

Ceroxon asked me if I could do a fusion version of my winter special.

-oOoOoOo-

As he was watching TV, Keiichi felt the all-too-familiar feeling of a bosom pressed against his back.

"Urdandy?" Keiichi asked.

"The one and only." Urdandy cooed. "Also, I'm bored."

"Well, you could unfuse," Keiichi replied as he looked towards the Residence's newest goddess.

For the most part, she had Urd's platinum hair, a small ponytail draping just past her neck and four of Belldandy's original six hair antenna. Her skin was just a bit lighter than Urd's. She wore a purple skirt that came down just above her knees and a pastel blue blouse that revealed a little bit of her cleavage. The marks on her face were electric violet diamonds.

"Nah. The timer won't let me until three days from now," Urdandy said back. "Let's go race. Me on Stringfellow and you on your beemer!"

"You'd have way too much of advantage, being able to fly over anything and not having to worry about anything like fuel," Keiichi argued as he changed the channel. Deciding to take control of the conversation, he asked, "What's it like being a fusion?"

Urdandy dropped the seduction attempt and climbed over the couch to sit next to Keiichi. She answered, "Both sisters like certain traits from the other that is missing in themselves. Urd really likes the emotional stability, overall self-control and… Uhm Uh… benevolence? Yeah, the benevolence that Belldandy possesses, and Belldandy likes how Urd is able to repeatedly bounce back from her failures."

Raising an eyebrow, Keiichi asked, "But Belldandy never seemed that bothered when she made a mistake."

"Speaking from both their viewpoints, Belldandy is a healthy perfectionist. She knows perfection is a lengthy goal and mistakes will be made on the way. A healthy perfectionist knows the path to perfection is a worthwhile goal. Still, she doesn't like making mistakes, so it takes her some effort to get over them," Urdandy explained in a matter-of-factly. In a prideful tone, she added, "While Urd is only briefly annoyed with a mistake, like it's just a speed bump. She's encountered more than her fair share of mistakes while brewing her potions. That hobby has taught her patience, the ability to bounce back from a failure, and that any particular failure can happen up to several hundred times in a row before getting it just right. If Urd had been the one to grant your wish, she wouldn't have spent nearly as much time doubting herself the way Belldandy does. Arguably, Belldandy wishes she could have the kind of courage that carries Urd through each day."

"Urd?... Patient?" Keiichi asked, not sure if he should believe that part. Inwardly, he thought, 'When this is all over, I'll talk with Belldandy about those doubts and see if I can help her with them.'

"Hey, there are plenty of people who have the patience of saints when they're on the job or lost in their hobbies, but when they're off the clock, they barely can wait through a single commercial." Urdandy answered with annoyance. She flicked Keiichi's nose before she said, "So be nice, You're dealing with a Goddess after all. A Goddess who wants to do something with you. Anything at all."

She then hugged herself to make her bosom look bigger and said, "And I do mean anything…"

Covering his nose until the brief moment of pain passed, Keiichi said, "Right, right... . So… Other than a race and…" checking his hand quickly to see if it was alright to put it back down, he continued. "that… What else do you wanna do?"

"Board game with a punishment for the loser?" Urdandy asked.

"How about a punishment for the winner instead?" Keiichi asked back, frowning as he remembered how lousy his luck was.

"Ooh, kinky. Win and get punished" she said as she signed some air quotes for the word 'punished'. "Lose and get distracted." she added with a winning smile. "Shall we start?"

Keiichi's stomach growled.

"Oh! That's right! Belldandy was going to go shop the other day before Mara sent all those mini majin buu-like things after us!" Urdandy growled as she facepalmed.

"I'll get it," Keiichi said as he stood up.

"No. A part of me made the mistake, so I'll-" Urdandy began.

"Please. Let me do it. Just give me a list," Keiichi said with that confident smile that made the Belldandy side of her melt.

It worked just as well on the Urd side of her, too.

"You big doofus," Urdandy muttered, creating a sheet of paper and handed it to Keiichi. "Just… just come back soon, alright?"

"I will," Keiichi replied before he left the room.

"Oh, well, might as well see what's on," Urdandy said as she began channelsurfing.

-o-

Throughout the next two hours, Urdandy's attention kept alternating between the TV and the front door.

Eventually, Urdandy stood up, closed her eyes and listened for Keiichi's heartbeat.

It was difficult to catch at first, but it was still there. His pulse was feint and slow, as if he had been had beenknocked out.

"Hey, we're out of-" Skuld began as she entered the living room before she felt a strong gust of wind. Seeing the room was empty, she asked, "Urdandy?"

-o-

Keiichi was unconscious, sprawled out behind one of the local stores.

A kneeling Hild smirked down at him and held a large egg. Looking at Keiichi, she said, "Well, time to do what Mara refused to do. Modify and reuse a plan. There's no Lind or her angels here to save you this time…"

"So… what's in the egg?" A voice calmly asked.

"It contains an angel eater, one I've modified. This time, I will have my new creation wait until everyone at the temple is asleep. Then it can eat the angels without anyone noticing it. Then I swoop in and plant devils in all of them. Then either we retreat back to Hell and Keiichi is left all alone or we can take him with us as a boytoy…" Hild explained before realizing that she had no idea who she was talking to. Keeping her eyes on Keiichi while preparing a fireball spell, Hild asked,"Forgive me for monologuing, but who are you now?"

"In a way, I'm your daughter," the voice answered, now sounding a bit mad.

Hild turned and saw Urdandy. Hild sighed, "You do look a bit like her, but I know you can't be my little girl." The part of Urdandy that referred to suddenly became livid.

"I'm a fusion. Your only hint is that my name is Urdandy," Urdandy growled out. "Now leave Keiichi alone."

"So… Urd and Belldandy fused," Hild muttered as she began to judge how strong Urdandy could be. 'Belldandy's control and both their powers under… her… belt..'

Hild's eyes widened when Urdandy began to slip off a limiter bracelet and felt just how strong the fusion was.

"My my… you could rival me in a fight. But really now? This is a time of peace. You're just too reckless, escalating things faster than either side should care for. To a mortal, it is like pulling out a hand-grenade for a fistfight," Hild calmly said. She then lowered the egg until there was only an inch of space between it and Keiichi's back.

"Take that egg away and leave him alone," Urdandy stated, a bit of hair covered her right eye. "Or else the Angel eater will target my angels. Do you know what will happen then?"

Hild paused. She was expecting the fusion to threaten, demand, or even some beg. Instead, Urdandy vibrantly radiated the feel of a young Odin, back when he gained the title of 'the furious one'back from when he lead his infamous Berserker unit.. Hild replied, "No. Do you?"

"No. And for all you know, your creation could kill me, and then where would your little girl be?" Urdandy practically spat out that last part. "So, are you that much of a gambler?"

Hild narrowed her eyes. Most beings would tremble when they saw Hild start to get annoyed.

Urdandy merely smirked in response.

"So... You win." Hild replied as she stood up.

That wiped the winning look from Urdandy's face. Instead, she beheld the diminutive avatar with nervous curiosity.

Walking away, Hild said, "At least, for now. Think of it as more of a delay, if you must."

To both Hild and Urdandy's horror, the Angel Eater egg cracked open and the newborn creature within let out it's characteristic siren's wail.

Just as Holy Bell and World of Elegance began to charge, Hild lit up a fireball in the same hand that instantly vaporized the Angel Eater and the shell in which it was standing.

As the two angels returned to Urdandy, Hild asked, "So... that's proof you aren't a permanent Fusion…"

"... A part of me really doesn't want to do this..." Urdandy began.

That got Hild's attention, though what she witnessed next was beyond any of her expectations.

As Urdandy bowed, she said, "Thank you… Mother... for saving myself and the angels."

"I only did it for half of you, Urdandy," Hild said. "And remember, this is only a delay."

And with that Hild teleported out of sight.

Urdandy waited for a few moments before she woke Keiichi up.

"Ugh… what happened?" Keiichi asked as he slowly stood up.

"I could ask you the same thing," Urdandy answered. "But first things first. Did you get the groceries?"

"Yeah, there in the sidecar," Keiichi answered as he looked around. "Why am I in an alley?"

"Hild," Urdandy answered.

Notes from HotelKatz : Worldbringer of Joseun of the Goddess Relief Office Forum was a big help with this chapter. They more-or-less thought up the plot after Keiichi leaves the temple.

Xindran of the Goddess Relief Office was a great source of help with this chapter.
