____________________________________________________


Keiichi sat holding his now sleeping Bell-chan and
reflected back on the events of the day. No matter
how many times he told himself, there was nothing
he could have done to help his angel. ~THEY TRIED
TO KILL MY BELL-CHAN!!!!!~, flared threw his mind
as he remembered being told of what had happened.
Bell-chan, Urd, and Skuld used their power to
create a barrier that surrounded the temple
grounds. Evil couldn't step foot anywhere, as long
as it was maintained. Looking around the living
room, Keiichi noticed that each Goddess was still
fast asleep. His Bell-chan had fallen asleep in his
arms, exhausted from the use of her magic. Skuld
had fallen sleep, from looking out for Guardian
and making sure Keiichi didn't try anything with
her sister. But the event that had surprised him
the most was Urd, she had cried all afternoon over
Guardian and fell asleep with her head laying on
his chest.

That simple act made Keiichi feel more at ease
around Urd. It proved to him that underneath her
seductive actions, that she had compassion for
others. He also felt that Urd knew more about,
what was going on then she would tell. Keiichi
was glad that his sister had debate club tonight,
or he would have a lot of explaining to do.
Guardian awoke from one of the best rests, he had
acquired in years. As he tried to raise up, he
felt a slight weight on his chest and found Urd
asleep with her head resting there. Urd quickly
awoke when she felt Guardian move, and looked
up into Guardian's concerned deep brown eyes.
It was then that she started to cry again,
"Shhhh.., Its ok Urd I' am alright" Guardian
softly spoke as he started to comfort her.

This made Urd cry harder, "Please sis, you
know it kills me to see you cry like this.
Can you please try to stop crying for me?"
Guardian stated now holding Urd in his arms.
Urd didn't know what to say, Guardian was
holding her in his arms. It was because he
was worried about her, nothing else. Somehow
this made her feel more comfortable with him.
She unconsciously snuggled into his chest, and
started to go back to sleep. Urd knew that
Guardian won't try anything, for he made
her feel safe and because he thought of her
as a sister. Keiichi who had just went to
sleep, awoke at the sound of someone crying.
He noticed that Guardian was once again awake,
and that he held a quietly sobbing Urd in his
arms. "It's going to be alright sis, I
understand everything now. I WILL be able to
prevent that future from happening" Guardian
gently spoke as he slowly rocked her.

A cool breeze started to blow through the
open window, which caused Urd to lightly shiver.
Keiichi's mouth opened in shock as markings
similar to Urd's, Skuld's and his Bell-chan's
softly glowed on Guardian's face. A pair of
white wings trimmed in gold appeared as
Guardian wrapped them around the shivering Urd.
It was then that Keiichi noticed that Guardian
was looking at him. ~~I' am sorry if you feel that
you have been lied to. But I myself have only
just begun to understand, I will explain in the
morning. Now please let me rest, for this has
been a very long day~~ Guardian spoke to Keiichi
without moving his lips. "He's telepathic" went
through his mind, as Keiichi gasped in shock.
Guardian nodded at the unspoken comment and
went to sleep. The next morning Guardian woke
up to the sound of two people talking and a
younger one arguing. "Don't worry Megumi, its
alright I understand. You couldn't help it that
the debate lasted all night, yes I am sure that
he will understand." Keiichi answered his worried
sister. "But Neechan, I am sure that he tried
something or other wise they wouldn't be like THAT.
But-" Skuld sadly sighed as she returned her Skuld
Bomb back to its place. "Just watch I' am going to
be right Belldandy" she replied starting to pout.

Urd sleepily opened her eyes and found herself
nestled into Guardian's chest. For the first time
in her life she blushed, Urd was used to making
others blush. But for herself to feel embarrassed
and blush was new to her. Guardian glanced down
when he felt Urd shift, and noticed that she was
awake. "Feeling better this morning Sis?" he asked
as he opened his wings. Urd turned a deeper red as
she looked down and bashfully nodded. Guardian
looked up and noticed four sets of eyes staring
at him. "Yes, Miss Megumi I understand why you
didn't return don’t worry. Honestly I didn't try
anything Skuld, I am too much of a gentleman to
do that. I would never take advantage of a female
who is vulnerable. and yes Keiichi I will explain
everything shortly" Guardian replied to his audience.
~~Who here doesn't know about you and your sisters
being Goddess's?~~ Guardian asked Urd telepathically.
After getting over her shock of this new development,
Urd glanced at Megumi. Guardian softly kissed Urd on
her cheek, ~~Thanks sis~~ he said.

"As some of you may already know, my name is Guardian.
I' am from what you would call the near future, the
reason why I am here is to stop a chain of events
from happening. Before you ask, I can not tell you
anything about the future I' am sorry" Guardian spoke
watching the reaction of everyone. He telepathically
spoke to everyone but Megumi at the same time, ~~I' am
sorry if you feel that I have deceived you. I have
only found out that I possess these powers myself.
What happened Yesterday is only the beginning, from
now on when either Keiichi or Oneesama go anywhere
I myself or Urd will accompany them.~~ Both Belldandy
and Keiichi started to look embarrassed, mentally
laughing Guardian said ~~Don't worry you two, Urd will
be paired up with Oneesama and I will be watching over
you Keiichi.~~ Skuld piped up using the same method
~~Guardian, um... I know you said you couldn't say
anything about the future, But-~~ Guardian knew that
Skuld would be the first one to ask something.
~~What is the future I come from like, right Skuld?~~
Guardian finished. A look of a very deep shock
crossed Skuld's face as she nodded. Guardian tried to
hide the look of deep sadness the crossed his face.
~~The future I come from is a dark, horrible place.
If you didn't know better, you would think that Hades
himself had come up from the netherworld and taken
over.~~ Guardian brushed away the tears he felt
flowing down his face. "If you will excuse me"
Guardian spoke as he turned and walked out the front
doors.

Megumi stood there thinking, that there was more being
said then it looked like. A sympathetic look of sad
acceptance crossed Urd's face as Guardian walked out.
It was then that Skuld said something ~~We all agree
that you know more about what's going on, then your
telling Urd. What happened in this future, so horrible
to bring a warrior of infinity here?~~ Urd replied
~~ I' am sorry Skuld, But I promised Guardian I won't
say anything.~~ "WILL someone PLEASE tell me what's
going on!!!" a very annoyed Megumi asked. Deeply
sighing Keiichi looked at his Bell-chan who looked
worried then nodded. Both Belldandy and Keiichi
explained what had happened, up to that point leaving
certain details out. Guardian sat staring into the
small lake on the temple grounds, when he felt a hand
rest on his shoulder. He turned and found Skuld
standing there with a worried look on her face.
Guardian moved over and motioned for her to sit down
beside him. After she had sat down, Skuld also looked
into the lake before she spoke. "It's Neechan, she's
the reason your here isn't it?" Guardian nodded
wordlessly, ~~Lady Skuld, may I ask you a question?~~
Skuld gasped in shock, then blushed at the thought
of Guardian calling her a lady. ~~I' am sorry I
embarrassed you Miss Skuld, but in my time you do
the title "Lady" more then justice.~~ Guardian spoke
smiling as he remembered what she had looked like at
Keiichi's and Belldandy's wedding. Skuld's face was
crimson red now, as she softly whispered "What was
your question Guardian?"

~~I don't mean any offense to you, but why don't you
like Keiichi? Sure he's a hentai sometimes, but overall
can't you see how much he loves your sister? That he
would never do anything that would hurt her, or
dishonor her innocent being?~~ Guardian asked wondering.
Skuld looked down ashamed as she said ~~ I just don’t
like him..... I don’t trust him, and he took neechan
away..~~ Guardian put his arm around Skuld and softly
spoke "Do you really think that Keiichi is that stupid?"
Skuld looked up at Guardian puzzled, starting to blush
again when she noticed his arm around her. "Why would he
do something and risk his life like that? He knows that
he would have a very angry young Goddess, an annoyed
lighting throwing father and now a Guardian angel after
him if he did" Guardian stated. "I don’t know about you
or your father, but if he ever did something I alone
would do things to him that would give you nightmares
for life" he continued. Skuld then noticed a underlying
layer of deep love for Belldandy, when Guardian stated
what he would do to Keiichi. ~~Um.. can I ask you a
question Guardian?~~ she asked timidly. Guardian looked
down into Skuld's brown eyes and replied "yes, what do
you want to know lil' sis?" "Um...How long have you
been in love with neechan?" Skuld asked wondering.
Guardian's eyes went wide in shock when he heard this,
and then he looked down defeated. "Truthfully for
three years" Guardian stated knowing that someone
would find out sooner or later.

"I loved her more then life itself, but since she
loved him so deeply, I felt the need to protect
her like a sister more" Guardian stated. Skuld's
eyes grew wide in understanding, ~~so that's why
you call her Oneesama.~~ Skuld then looked down
turning a deep crimson as she softly almost
whispering asked "Guardian, do you mind if I call
you Oniichan?" Tears came to Guardian's eyes, he
so was touched, ~~lil' sis I would be honored for
you to call me Oniichan~~ he spoke as he kissed
Skuld on her forehead. Giggling and turning the
reddest that she had ever been, Skuld gave her
new big brother a quick hug. ~~Sis would it make
you feel any better, if I told you that in all
the years that I had known Keiichi. He never
tried to take advantage of your sister at
anytime?~~ Guardian asked Skuld. He glanced over
at her and found that she had gone to sleep.
Guardian picked her up, and started toward the
house when Skuld softly said "Thank you Oniichan,
for telling me that about Keiichi. I know I
imagine more into things, then what's really
there. But Please can you tell me what
truthfully happened between you and Urd?"
Guardian smiled at this, knowing that she
wouldn't let it go until she knew the truth.
~~Later, after you have rested some ok?~~
Skuld nodded as she fell back to sleep.
