The Almighty looked at the group as they walked in. He had not seen Urd so happy senses before the day that Adam died. Belldandy looked like she would never let Keiichi go. Skuld looked a little lonely. He smiled to himself she would soon met the love of her life. He looked at Keiichi and sent to him in silence 'You now have my permission to marry my daughter. You might want to ask her now though. In you right front pocket is my gift to you. Give it to her.' Keiichi heard him. He felt in his pocket and found a small velvet box. He knew immediately what it was. Keiichi grinned to himself. Dropping down on one knee he grabbed Belldandy hand and said. "Belldandy I love you. I want to spend the rest of eternity with you by my side. Will you marry me?" Belldandy eyes welled up with tears. The words she has been praying to hear she heard for the last thirteen years. She fell down into his arms. "Yes, Yes I will marry you. Yes a thousand times over." She was crying once again. She once again gave Keiichi a tender kiss. The Almighty just could not help himself. "WHY ARE YOU KISSING MY DUAGHET KEIICHI?" They both jumped away from one another. The Almighty started laughing. "Sorry could not help myself. Keiichi I am sorry to say this but you can't return to the life you had on Earth. You died there when you became a god here in Heaven. It was the only way." Keiichi looked a little sad at that but then he seen the face of his bride to be. "It's all right. I get to live forever with Belldandy like I wished. That is all that matters." The Almighty nodded his head. "I still have some bad news. When you died on Earth your contract was broken. However apparently Belldandy still wants to be at your side. You have my blessing. So now for happier news. We will hold the wedding with in the week. I forbid you to see each other during that time. Sorry to separate you again but there are things that Belldandy has to do with out you in the way. Plus it is tradition. Keiichi don't worry you still have things to learn to live among us. Plus you half to build your home here in heaven. Belldandy home will be given to a single Goddess." Keiichi and Belldandy nodded. "What is Keiichi rank here in heaven?" Urd asked. "Why he has no rank. None of the ranks that are in effect don't apply to him. I guess a how new rank will half to be invented for him. I know we will call it star class. He is a star class god unlimited, protector." Urd felt her jaw drop. It was not fair. All ready Keiichi was higher ranking than her. "Lord will my parents and sister get to come to my wedding. Surely they deserver to know what happened." Keiichi asked. The almighty looked thought full. "Yes I suppose you are right. I will bring them to heaven on the day of your wedding. But only them." Keiichi agreed. "So since I can't leave with Belldandy were will I stay?" asked Keiichi. The All Mighty grinned a bit evilly. "You will be staying with me. Belldandy your mother wants to see you and your sisters. Can you take the baby with you? My and Keiichi needs to talk again in private." asked the Almighty. Belldandy worried her eyes. "The last time I left Keiichi with you sent him away." She stated. The Almighty grinned at her. "No not this time he passed the test. No there are something's that I half to discuses with Keiichi about his job and what to expect living in heaven. But how about this I will let you have the rest of the day together but tomorrow you half to separate until your wedding." bargained the Almighty. "I will deal with your mother's anger about you not being there. But no hanky panky you two here. And trust me I will know. Belldandy why don't you two discuss were you want to live. I give you permission to put your house were ever you want. On another note there will be a funeral later today for Thor and the other fallen gods and goddess. I would like you to be there." Keiichi and Belldandy nodded. "We will come. Keiichi I know the perfect spot for our home. Father do we have permission to leave." The Almighty nodded his head. "Yes go. Keiichi I expect you to be here tomorrow at eighty o clock in the morning. I will see you then."
Belldandy told Urd and Skuld by. "We will see you later at lunch. Let's all meet at Odin's Bar ok." She said. Urd and Skuld nodded their heads. "See you later big sis." said Skuld. Belldandy grabbed Keiichi arm and said. "I want to show you were I would like to live with you." Keiichi just smiled and said. "After you my love." Belldandy and Keiichi slowly walked through heaven. Keiichi was amazed at how quickly heaven was being repaired after all the fighting. Looking at Belldandy he asked. "How can heaven recover so fast? I thought that the fight between me and Hild destroyed half of heaven." Belldandy looked at the puzzled face of her love. She Smiled. "This is heaven silly. All we have to do to restore it is wish it to be restored. Come we are all most there. You will love the spot I know." Keiichi wrapped his arm around Belldandy waist and hugged her close as they were walking. He felt joy at being beside Belldandy again. In the last three hundred days he lost most of the fear he had around women. Becoming a god could change many things about the way you think he thinks to himself. Looking around he saw that they were approaching a beautiful water fall. Belldandy stopped and pointed at the water fall. "That fall is called Crystal Falls. It is the start of The Great Crystal Sea. I used to come here as a child and played. I all so came here when I missed you." She started crying again. Turning into Keiichi embrace her eyes filled with tears. "I have missed you the last five days. Please don't leave me like that again." "I was gone more than five days Belldandy. I was gone for three hundred days in fact." Belldandy smiled again. "Did I not tell you before? Time in heaven is very different than any were else." Keiichi just nodded he remembered the conversation about that. Looking around he saw the perfect place to build a house. He waved his hand. Markers appeared in an area were he thought the house should be. He then cast an image of what he thought their home should look like. Belldandy was amazed. Not even she could do that. "Is that what you are going to build? It's beautiful. But please tell me it will not have paper walls." Keiichi grinned at her. "No it will not have paper walls. But I will build it by hand though." Belldandy nodded her head. She felt Holy Bell fly up out of her back. Keiichi also felt Love Everlasting fly out of his back. The two angles grinned at each other. The grins looked a little bit evil. Picking up their masters they threw them into the ocean. Both Belldandy and Keiichi shrieked as they hit the cold water. They both looked at their angels. Both of them had an inisance look on their faces. Swimming they both smiled. "You know this means war." Keiichi shouted back up to both the angels. He waved his hand a strong gust of wind hit both the angles. UN prepared for the wind they to fell into the ocean. Belldandy laughed. "See that is exactly what you deserve you two." She stated. She then swimed over to Keiichi and dunked him. "And that is what you get for letting them do that to me." She shrieked as she felt unseen hands. Keiichi came up from behind her. "I gotcha." He said as he tickled her. He bent his head down just a little bit to nibble on her ear. The effect was all most emendate. She swooned in his hands. The only mistake he made was forgetting about the angles. Love Everlasting and Holy Bell had flown up just above the couple. Between them they held a huge ball of water. They let it go. Once again Belldandy and Keiichi were forced under the water. Belldandy and Keiichi came up out of the water. Their wing appeared on their back. Flying up into the air the charged after the to offending angles. "We will get you this time." The two angles just grinned and flew away. Belldandy and Keiichi flew after their angles. The two silently agreed to go after the others angel. Holy Bell was caught first. Keiichi tickled her. There was nothing that Holy Bell was able to do. Love Everlasting had turned around to look were Holly Bell was. He was caught by Belldandy. Belldandy did the same thing to Love Everlasting. Both angles surrender to their tormentors. They both apologies for the mean things they had done. But it was worth it. It had helped both Belldandy and Keiichi to lose some of the emotional bagged they had left. They both fell back into their perspective masters. Keiichi looked at Belldandy. "If I did not know any better they had that planned. Belldandy agreed with him. However she wished they had not dropped that ball of water on them. Keiichi had made her feel some strange but pleasant things then. She looked around and saw that it was just about noon. "We need to go. It's just about time to meet my sisters and Adam." She grabbed Keiichi hand and took off at a slight jog. Keiichi had no problem keeping up. Soon they arrived at Odin's Bar. He saw a huge line. Belldandy and Keiichi got to the back of the line. But as the other gods and goddess seen them they were told to get in front of them. All too soon they were inside. A very large and very old god approached them. "So this is the young god I have heard about." The old god said. Keiichi looked at the old being. "Uncle Odin let me introduce you to my love. This is Keiichi god of Eternity. And the love of my life." The old being just nodded his head. He gently slapped Keiichi on the shoulder. "Young man I am happy for you and Belldandy." Looking around the old being pointed to a table in the very back. "You may sit there. Order any thing on the menu it will be on the house for Belldandy love and savior of heaven itself. And thank you for redeeming Hild. She used to be the loveliest goddess. But something changed in her. Hopefully she will have a happier life this time around." Odin then turned and walked away. Belldandy led Keiichi back to the table Odin had pointed out. They sat down beside each other. "We should wait for the others before we order." She stated. Keiichi nodded his head. Belldandy scooted as close as she could to Keiichi. Keiichi for his part put his arm around her. Leaning his head down he rested it upon hers. Belldandy felt the happiness that Keiichi had at that moment. She wonders to herself if she would feel everything that he felt for the rest of her life. Keiichi was all so wondering the same thing. "Hey guys sorry to keep you late. My husband was getting to know Skuld better. But we made it." Said Urd. "Its ok we have not been here long." Said Belldandy. She sat up and slid just a little bit a way from Keiichi. Her sisters and Adam sat down. "So what have you been up to you two? No hanky panky I hope. Remember what father said." Belldandy looked just a little bit embarked. "No we have done anything like that." She mumbled. All though she had hoped they would have. "No we had been having a little war with our angles. They ganged up on us. Threw us into the sea. And then dropped a huge ball of water on our heads." Stated Keiichi. Urd started laughing. "Our angles have done that to us too. And World of Elegance is part devil too. You might as well get used to it." Stated Adam. Odin came up to the table. "Glad to see you back Adam. So folks what can I get you to eat?" After lunch they went and got ready for the funeral. Keiichi went with Belldandy to the Goddess Mall. He had no other clothes to wear other than what he had on. Skuld came too. Urd and Adam went home. They would meet at the funeral later. Belldandy led Keiichi to a store that sold clothes. Keiichi then looked a little worried. He had no money to spend here in heaven. Belldandy felt Keiichi fear. Skuld smiled at the worried look on his face then she realized what he was worried about. She held out a wallet to Keiichi. "Father told me to give this too you. It is your back pay for the last three years." Belldandy was shocked. Father had been paying Keiichi and she did not even know. "It's the Star class pay. Oh and Belldandy father said you will have to take the Star class licenses as soon as possible. He said you should pass with out a problem." Belldandy smiled at Skuld. Turning to Keiichi. "Let's go. We need to find you a suit." She said as she pulled him into the store. They spent a couple of hours looking at the suits there. They finally found a nice suit that was a pin stripe. Keiichi looked gorgeous in the suit. When ever Belldandy looked at Keiichi she felt as if her legs were made of rubber. They paid for the suit and it was programmed into Keiichi program. They next looked at the dress. Belldandy and Skuld found the perfect dresses. Skuld wore a nice dress that hinted at her true beauty. Keiichi drop nearly dropped down to the floor when he saw Belldandy though. The dress she wore was truly a work of art. She was beautiful in the dress. Keiichi then bought both the dress as well. Belldandy and Keiichi then told Skuld bye and went back to Belldandy home. Belldandy then prepared a bath for Keiichi. "Keiichi go ahead and take your bath." Keiichi nodded and went down to the bath. As he went to get in he heard the door open. "Keiichi can I wash your back and will you wash mine?" He heard Belldandy ask. Turning he saw that she was wrapped in a towel. He gulped. "Yes you can."
It took them a little while longer to get ready then it should have. But they got ready in just in time. Belldandy cheated a little bit. She transported Keiichi and herself to the funeral. Urd and her husband were all ready there. Skuld was off in the back talking to a couple of the other girls she knew. Belldandy waved to her sisters and then she and Keiichi went to the place that was marked out for them. The Almighty one then cleared his throat. "We are all here to remember the brave gods and goddess that gave their lives in the last few days. I wish they were still here with us. But they could not be. But their bravery was great. There is no other way to show such love. They all willing sacrificed themselves to save us. They gave the God of Eternity a chance to find his power. And by doing so gave him the ability to save us. No one forced them to do give their lives for us. But they did it willing. So lets all praise them. I open the floor for stories about some of them." Adam stood up. "I remember the time Thor and I were training. It was just after I had ascended. He was teaching me some spells for combat. Nether one of us was very good at them. I had accidentally set fire to half the field we were training on. If it was not for Urd half of heaven would have burned down around us before we put it out." He sat back down. Stories were told through out the funeral. All too soon it was time to go home. Saying good bye to her sisters Belldandy led Keiichi back home.
Belldandy awoke early the next morning. Keiichi was still asleep beside her. She just watched him sleep. It was peaceful. Soon they would be separated again. But this time it was not so bad. She would be getting ready for her wedding. She would soon be called Belldandy Moristo. She could not wait. Deciding to make Keiichi a breakfast she got up and went to her kitchen. She took her time to make breakfast. She pored all her love for him into his meal. Once everything was ready she went back down to the room were she had slept beside Keiichi. She decided to wake him up like she did so many days ago. She crawled on top of him and gave him a tender kiss. She felt his arms wrap around her. He kissed her back. Breaking the kiss she said. "I have breakfast ready my love. We need to hurry though. We need to be back at dad's office soon." Keiichi nodded his head. They ate and then went to her dad's office. "Peorth will you tell Father that we are here." Said Belldandy. "He said to send you in." Said Peorth giving the couple a knowing look. "Your mother is in there too just to let you know." Belldandy swallowed and nodded her head in thanks. They went through the doors. Keiichi got tackled just as soon as the doors closed. "Hmm don't suppose you would share him my daughter." said a woman that looked just like Belldandy except just a little older. "No mother I will not share him with anyone." Belldandy responded. Pulling Keiichi out of her mothers embrace she put her arms around Keiichi in a very protective manner. "He's mine mother!" The All Mighty laughed. "Leave them be my wife." Fila moved away from the young couple. She then looked at Belldandy. "Its time to go. Say good bye to Keiichi. You will not see him until your wedding day." Belldandy pulled Keiichi into a tight embraced. She gave him a tender kiss and said. "I will miss you my love. My heart will be with you while I am gone." Belldandy and her mother left after that. Keiichi looked around the All Mighty office. The All Mighty saw Keiichi confusion. Deciding to take the rest of the day off he said. "Lets go look at were you are going to build yours and Belldandy's home." Keiichi looked up and said "Ok" He lead the father of his love to Crystal Falls. The All Mighty saw the foundation of the home had all ready been marked out. The foundation all most looked like the temple were he had lived with his daughter. Looking at Keiichi he said. "Well let's get to work." Seeing the look on Keiichi face he laughed. "Guess they for got to tell you that up here in heaven the father of the bride has to help build the home of his daughter. So even I the creator of all this has to do this by hand. It is one of the few customs I regret to this day of creating." Keiichi then nodded his head. The All Mighty waved his hand and all the tools and supplies they might have need appeared. About half way into the morning Adam came walking up. "I am under orders to help Keiichi build Belldandy's home. If not Urd will hurt me." Keiichi looked up were he was mixing concrete and said. "The more the help we get the better the home will be. Adam looked over to were the creator was poring the concrete. "Yep come and help then let's keep the peace." They worked all day and got all the plumbing and foundation done. The All Mighty threw a towel at both Keiichi and Adam and said. "Let's get cleaned up and go eat. Tomorrow will be another long day."
Meanwhile the ladies were talking about were they were going to hold the wedding. All four of them wanted it some were else. They had argued about it for about five hours. Urd finally got frustrated and looked at Belldandy and said. "So were would you like the Wedding?" Belldandy did not even have to think twice about the answer. "At Crystal Falls. It has all ways had a special place in my heart." Everyone agreed to the place. Belldandy mother then sent Belldandy to a health spa. She would be given the works. All to make her that much more beautiful for Keiichi. She was glad that young man came into Belldandy life. While Belldandy was gone her mother turned to her daughters and said. "So when are we going to hold the party." The two goddess looked at each other and grinned. "Tomorrow night. We don't think Belldandy even knows what kind of party she will be going to." Their mother grinned some what evilly.
The next day Keiichi found him self building the walls for the new home. Two more gods came to help to day. Odin and his son. So now there were five total gods working on his and Belldandy's future home. They managed to put the roof on. The All Mighty then looked at Keiichi and said. "Let's call it a day. We need to get cleaned up we have a dinner we need to go to. I need to introduce you to the other Gods on the council." Not a bad lie for the creator. The All Mighty thinks to himself. So they left the future home. Later The All Mighty took Keiichi back to Odin's Bar. "Odin is part of the council of heaven. So he said he would allow us all to eat here tonight. He said he wanted an informal meeting for your first time." said The All Mighty One. Keiichi just followed the father of his bride. Once inside everything looked to be normal. Odin came up and took Keiichi. "Sorry to do this to you but. I the guardian of Heaven itself. I the old one. Seal the young ones power. Let him be but a mortal for the night." Keiichi felt his strength come out of him. Odin then picked up Keiichi and took him to a chair in the middle of the room. Forcing him down in the chair he applied some restraints. "So are you ready for your bachelor party? Come on out girls and let the party begin." Keiichi looked up at The All Mighty and said. "You tricked me I thought I was meeting the counselor tonight. Belldandy is going to kill me." The All Mighty took pity on Keiichi. "No because she and my wife with her sisters are having a similar party tonight. In fact I am sure of it."
Belldandy was told by her mother that all of her old friends at the goddess relief office were throwing a party to welcome her back. So that same night she and her sisters with their mother left to go to another bar. Belldandy was happy to see all of her friends. Lend walked up to her and said. "I the protector of Heaven. I the leader of the valkerys. Seal this young goddess power. Let her be as if mortal for the night." Belldandy felt her powers being sealed. She stared at Lend in horror. "What are you doing Lend!" she demanded. "We cannot let the guest of honor leave in embarrassment tonight. Get her girls." Belldandy sisters along with Lend grabbed Belldandy. They forced her into a chair and put some restraints around her. Stepping back Lend said. "Come out boys and let's give Belldandy a taste of freedom for the last time. The night progressed into embarrassment for the young couple. Both Belldandy and Keiichi were a source of amusement that night.
Keiichi felt that his head was going too exploded the next morning. He had gone back to work earlier than everyone else. He was a bit embarrassed. Peorth had shown up that night. She had done nothing wrong in a sense but she did nothing right either. Keiichi was determined to finish the home today. All that was left was finishing the walls and putting in the new carpets and hard wood floors. But it would take some work to finish today. He heard his name being called from out side. Walking out side he saw the Whole Council of Heaven standing there. "Keiichi we are here to help you finish today. You only have three days left of true freedom. And the next to days you will need to be in class to teach you some valuable lessons about goddess." The All Mighty said. Keiichi nodded his head. He was glad for the help.
Belldandy was all so up early. She had decided to make breakfast for everyone in her house. While cooking she was looking at various wedding magazines her mother had brought into her home. She was looking at the dress in fact. 'I wonder what kind of dress Keiichi would like to see me wear.' She thinks to herself. Just then her mother came into her kitchen. "Ah so that is were the bride to be is hiding. I thought you were off to see Keiichi. Your father knows that I tried to sneak away often enough during our week of alone time." Belldandy looked a little guilty at that. "So you have tried. That barrier around your home sucks does it not. You know that it will not allow you or Holy Bell out of the house with out at least on of us with you. Belldandy could only nod her head she had tried to sneak out to see Keiichi a couple of times. But she all ways was stopped by the barrier. It was not fare really but she knew that it was tradition. And to be separated from her love again was like agony but she was comforted in the fact that she felt Keiichi was missing her to. He had been working hard for the last few days on their new home. She had even felt his embarrassment last night. She was sure he felt hers as well. Her mother pulled her out of her thoughts about Keiichi. "You have classes tomorrow and the next day. So to day we pick the wedding dress and tomorrow you go to class." stated her mother.
The home was finished. They had finished it earlier that after noon. After Keiichi and All Mighty got cleaned up the All Mighty took Keiichi to find a suit to get married in. It only took a few minutes to find the right suit. The All Mighty surprised Keiichi by buying the suit himself. After they were done shopping the All Mighty looked at Keiichi and said. "We need to go invite your parents and your sister and her husband and kids to your wedding!" Keiichi nodded his head and then said. "Megumi could not have married in the last ten days. Could she have?" The All Mighty looked at Keiichi. "It has been over fifteen years since you and Belldandy left. A lot has changed as you will see." The All Mighty waved his hand. Keiichi, himself, and Adam disappeared.
Arriving on Earth. Keiichi saw they were at the temple. He and Adam were dressed in simple clothing. The All Mighty was dressed in a Monks robes. "I am called Kevin here. So please address me as so while here." The All Mighty told Keiichi and Adam. Kevin led them up to the temple. It still looked the same. He saw an older Megumi holding a baby in her lap looking at two graves. She looked sad. "If only you still could be here Keiichi. You would have loved your nieces and nephew." She sad aloud. Keiichi could not help himself. "Megumi are you here." Megumi knew that voice. She had not heard it in over fifteen years but she recognized that voice. Turning her head she tried not to hope but there was Keiichi. He was standing beside Kevin and another man. Sitting the baby on the ground she ran up to her long lost brother. Grabbing him into a fierce embrace she said. "Urd had came down here and told us you and Belldandy had died in an accident. It's not true is it?" Keiichi saw the worried look on his sister's face. "No I did not die. But neither am I human anymore. Megumi I need to talk to you about Belldandy and her sisters. It is time I told you the truth. You see they were goddess. I had a contract with Belldandy stating that she would stay by my side forever. In order for me to do that I was tested. I had become a god to stay with Belldandy. I am sorry you have grieved for me. So who is the little one and were is my other nieces and nephew you were talking about earlier?" He asked. Megumi looked around and the said. "Well meet your youngest niece. Her name is Hild." She saw the look in Keiichi eyes. He knew that baby. Keiichi went over to the baby and saw that it was indeed Hild. He looked at Kevin. And sent to him. 'I thought you and your wife was going to watch over Hild until she grew up.' 'No we cannot. That was the path back down a rode we did not want to go. Megumi had lost her last two babies in the womb. So I cheated just a little and gave her Hild. Hild own power help Megumi carry her to term.' "I am so happy for you Megumi. By the way I am here to invite you and your family to my wedding. I am getting to marry
Belldandy. It is in three more days. Someone will be sent to pick you and yours up I hope to see you there." Megumi looked at her brother. She then had an idea. "Let me be the one to tell our parents. They can come with me. That way it will be a surprise for them." "Okay well let you tell them then." The three men then disappeared. Megumi was happy for her brother. But she could not tell Keiichi that their parents were slipping down hill. Their mother had Alzheimer and her dad had not left the bottle in the last twelve years. The doctors had told both of them that they only had six months to live. She hoped that seeing Keiichi they would at least be some what happy. Hild started crying. Going over she picked up Hild and went inside to make a few phone calls.
The last two days felt like torcher to Keiichi. But to day he would marry Belldandy. He pulled on his tie again. The All Mighty looked at Keiichi. 'He must think he has a notice around his neck.' It was all ways the same thing for all young men. "So who did you send to pick up my family?" Keiichi asked. The All Mighty grinned at Keiichi. "I sent Odin. He was the only one available that had the power to bring you family up here. I want to ask you. What would you say if I let your family stay here for the rest of their days." Keiichi looked at his soon to be father in law. "You would do that for me." The All Mighty nodded his head. "They deserve the rest. Trust me."
Else were Belldandy was all so getting ready. She was pampered the inter time. Someone bathed her. They rubbed lotion into her skin. Urd had applied Belldandy makeup. Her mother helped her put on her dress. Skuld had helped her with a few things as well. Now Belldandy was walking up and down the room were she was told to wait. "If you keep that up you will were a hole into the ground. Besides you will tire yourself and then what kind of wedding night could you give Keiichi then." Said her mother. Belldandy stopped and blushed a deep red. She remembered all the classes she had just finished yesterday. "I think the bride is embarrassed. What do you think ladies?" Everyone laughed at that. They heard a slight nock on the door. "May I come in?" A female's voice said. Urd went over to the door and cracked it. Opening it all the way they saw it was Megumi. "Belldandy you look beautiful. Keiichi is sure one lucky guy you know that. I don't think we will be able to get any answers out of Keiichi when he sees you in that dress." Said Megumi. She grinned at the worried look on Belldandy face. "Don't worry all he has to say is I Do. Don't think he would mess that up do you." Urd said with a smile on her face. "I need to talk to Belldandy alone for a few minutes if you other ladies would not mind to leave us alone for a few minutes." She asked. The others filed out of the room. Megumi then looked at Belldandy. "I need to tell you to be strong for Keiichi. Our parents have not been the same since you two left on Earth. Our mother has advance Alzheimer and dad as not been out of the bottle for the last twelve years. But this is a good day for mom and dad is sober. But I think he is only sober because of the man that came to pick us up. Dad was just a little bit intimated by that man. Belldandy giggled. "Yeah he can be. His name is Odin." There was another knock at the door. "Its time Belldandy." Her mother says.
