____________________________________________________

It was evening by the time both Keiichi's group and Megumi
returned home. At the same time that Belldandy and Keiichi
walked hand in hand through the temple gates, Megumi slowly
walked behind them. She still couldn't believe that her
date had really happened, she never had so much fun in
her life. Contently sighing, she felt like it was all a
dream. Keiichi softly whispered to his Bell-chan "Skuld, is
taking this rather well isn't she?" "Urd told me that Skuld
said that she understood now. She also thinks that Guardian
had something to do with it, Skuld blushed and said she
thought of Guardian as Oniichan now when Urd asked if
it was because of him" Belldandy replied.

"Um...Isn't Guardian supposed to be here? Why are all of the
lights off then?" Megumi asked when she noticed he dark
house. Urd's eyes grew narrow as she scanned the grounds.
"Skuld, Belldandy, I can't tell if he is still here or not,
so we should be careful" she stated. Guardian raised his
head when he heard a noise, then realized that it was
Keiichi and his dining group returning. As he opened his
palm, a softly glowing blue ball appeared to hover in mid
air. It was bright enough to see, but not so bright that
it would wake anyone. Urd cautiously opened the front door
and walked in making sure that it was safe. In the blue
glow that had lit the living room, she noticed that
Guardian was sitting on the couch. Urd relaxed when she saw
this and let the others in the house.

"Guardian, why are all of the lights off?" Skuld asked, all
she received in reply was Guardian putting his finger to his
lips. He then motioned for them to quietly come over, it was
then that he slowly moved one of his wings. Lying there in
his wings was Peorth sound asleep, Keiichi nervously swallowed
when he saw who it was. Urd was about to make a rather rude
comment, when she noticed that Guardian had tear stains on
his shirt. ~~Urd Please don’t say anything rude to her, she
has a hard time excepting that Keiichi was no longer available.
I know how feel about her, but can you just please be nice to
her for at least tonight for me?~~ Guardian spoke.

Urd just nodded her head yes in answer to his question, Peorth
no longer completely covered by Guardian's wings stirred slightly.
Peorth sleepily opened her eyes, and found Guardian looking down
at her. ~~Are we feeling better now, after our nap Miss Peorth?~~
Guardian asked. For the first time in her life, she felt a strange
sensation course through her body. All Peorth could do was shyly
look down and softly reply "yes", as a light blush covered her
face. Peorth was at a loss for words, trying to explain why she
was feeling this way. NEVER before had any male make her feel
this way, it was almost like she was a young girl again. All she
knew was that this male angel, this Guardian, was VERY special.

[Flashback to Earlier that Evening]
As she laid there in Guardian's wings, Peorth realized something.
For the first time in her life she felt content, maybe it was
because she had met someone who was concerned about her feelings.
NOT for any other alternative reason, other then that he was
truthfully worried about her. Peorth softly smiled as she thought,
*So this is what it feels like, for someone to be concerned about
you.* She was glad that she didn't try to seduce Guardian, like
she was originally going too. Somehow she knew that if she did
try, that she would be turned down cold. Peorth some how knew
that her now close friend Guardian, was a true romantic at heart.
And how much he despised women who came across, as cheap, trampy,
or acted like a trollop. It was then that she thought *Maybe If I
change, would he like me better?*

She then sighed *how could any nice guy, care for someone who has
such a tainted reputation like myself?* Peorth thought as she felt
a single tear begin to slowly slide down her face. Guardian felt
that something was wrong and glanced down onto Peorth. He then
noticed that a single tear was flowing down her cheek. Hugging her
Guardian spoke "You will find another nice guy like Keiichi, don’t
worry Miss Peorth." It was after a concerned Guardian tenderly
spoke to her about "finding another nice guy", that she knew that
she couldn't live with her guilt any longer. Peorth allowed herself
to do something, that she hadn't allowed herself to do since she
was a young Goddess in training..... she cried. When Guardian
asked her what was wrong, she started pouring out her heart to him.

Telling him about how Keiichi was not only the first ever to refuse
a wish, but the first ever to treat her with respect. Almost every
male she had ever granted a wish to, wanted one thing and one thing
alone when they saw her. She then went on to tell him how guilty
and tainted, she felt after that type of wish. How she started to
act and dress like she did over time, because that is what the males
expected. It was then that the truth came out, that the real reason
she acted differently around Keiichi was because she liked him. She
didn't know that decent women didn't act that way. She knew that
Belldandy acted the way she did, because she was so sweet and
innocent. Peorth knew if she had been as lucky as Belldandy, maybe
she would also still be sweet and innocent.

Guardian brushed away her tears as he replied "Miss Peorth, I think
your still innocent, your soul is still pure and untainted. You
couldn't help if all of the male's you granted a wish were hentai's.
It is what is in your heart and your soul that matters, NOT what
your expected to do." Peorth looked up at him with a shocked
expression on her face. "B-b-b-b-but h-h-how?" she stuttered
completely shocked, Guardian smiled and replied "Do you remember
how you were before you granted your first wish?" Peorth nodded
that she did, "Do you also remember what you were wearing?" he
continued. After she nodded her head again, Guardian asked "Can
you please show me if you don't mind?" Peorth got up and changed
herself into the outfit she was wearing at that time.

When she was finished, a look of shock and surprise, followed by
a great feeling of respect filled her being. She found that
Guardian had closed his eyes, when she got up to change. She was
honored that he would do that for her, Peorth thought to herself
*Guardian is a very noble gentleman.* Smiling she softly stated
"You can open your eyes now Guardian." When he opened his eyes,
Peorth softly spoke "Thank you, even though you didn't have too."
Guardian looked down slightly turning red, "It was the modest and
honorable thing to do when a lady changes Miss Peorth." After all
that she said and done in her life time, and even after she had
accidentally propositioned him. Because she thought he was Keiichi,
he still thought of her as a Lady. This brought Peorth into another
round of sobbing.

Guardian held out his arms and spoke "Come here Miss Peorth", she
then threw herself into his arms sobbing. A little while later
when Peorth stopped sobbing, Guardian softly spoke "Um.. Miss Peorth
y-y-you look very pretty in that outfit, you should wear it more
often." Peorth didn't know what to say, here was Guardian "A MALE"
saying that she looked prettier in a decent dress. "Thank you
Guardian" she softly replied looking down, It was then that he
noticed how late the time was getting. "Miss Peorth, is there
anything I can get for you? And don’t worry I like you the way you
are right now, shy, innocent, and modest" Guardian spoke. Peorth
felt like she was going to cry again, it was almost like Guardian
knew all of her self doubts.

And was going out of his way to reassure her, "Guardian can you
just hold me?" she innocently asked. Guardian knew that she
honestly just wanted held, no hidden plans, or seductive ideas.
She just needed held, Guardian glanced down and noticed that
Peorth had fallen asleep in his arms. It was starting to grow dark
outside, he made no attempt to try to turn on any lights. For he
was afraid if he moved, he would wake her up from her innocent and
peaceful slumber. Hours passed as he watched Peorth sleep the sleep
of innocents, he began to tire from all that had happened that day.
Guardian had just started to lightly doze, when he heard a noise.
[END FLASHBACK]

Peorth's blush turned a deeper red, when she realized that she had
an audience. Guardian opened his wings, just in case she wanted to
leave. She was very reluctant to get up, all she wanted was to go
back to sleep in Guardian's arms, but Peorth knew that it was time
to leave. Standing up she walked over to the visibly nervous
Keiichi, and spoke "Don't worry I won't do anything to you. I just
want to congratulate you and Belldandy on your engagement. You take
good care of her, and if you EVER hurt her or make her cry, you will
see me again very soon." Keiichi was now shaking very hard, he KNEW
that she would keep her threat about returning. To punish him if
he ever hurt his Bell-chan or made her cry. But at the same time
he was shocked over her new attitude and from what she was wearing.

Keiichi thought to himself *Peorth looks very nice in a dress like
that.* Peorth turned red and quietly stated "Thank you Keiichi"
when she heard what he thought of her wearing a decent dress. After
she congratulated the newly engaged couple, spoke to the shocked Urd
and Skuld and introduced herself to Megumi. Peorth returned to
where Guardian was now standing, shyly looking him in the eyes she
quietly spoke. "Thank you my warrior angel for everything", she
then lovingly kissed him on his cheek. ~~Your welcome Peorth, not
everyone gets a second chance. Go and make yours count, goodbye my
innocent angel~~ Guardian replied giving her a hug. The room stayed
silent for awhile after Peorth left, which was broken by Megumi
stating she was going to bed.

Moments later after she left the room, Urd made a comment with a
smirk on her face ~~I bet I know what happened tonight, since
Peorth was here.~~ Guardian gave Urd a nasty look, and replied "That
was totally uncalled for, If you HAVE to know. Peorth was given a
second chance in life, you wouldn't be smug if you knew what had
happened in that poor women's life. She's a changed goddess now Urd,
her mind isn't always on a certain subject like someone else I know.
Oneesama you tell her, since you did scan Peorth before she left."
Belldandy looked down as a small blush of embarrassment covered her
face, "And I thought I was the sneaky one in the family" Urd stated
with a grin on her face. "I just wanted to make sure, that it wasn't
some type of trick or something" Belldandy stated still lightly
blushing.

"Thank you Oneesama, at least you understand and believe me" Guardian
replied hugging her. "I don't know about the rest of you, but I am
going for a walk before I turn in for the night. I will be back late,
so nobody wait up for me" Guardian stated headed for the door. Moments
after Guardian left, the phone rang "Oh Hello Sempai, you want me to do
what? Tonight? Can't this wait until the morning? Ok I will finish it
tonight, you should take care of that cold of yours. Goodbye Sempai"
Sadly sighing Keiichi hung up the phone. Turning to his Bell-chan he
spoke "Bell, I am so sorry but-" he didn’t get a chance to finish.
"Its alright Kei-chan you go and help Sempai, we can spend more time
together later" Belldandy replied blushing as she lightly kissed him
on the cheek. As he walked to where his motorcycle was parked, Keiichi
strongly considered dropping out of Auto Club.

Guardian watched as Keiichi entered the garage, went over to his
motorcycle and started to leave. "Keiichi, can I ask you a question
before you go?" he asked stepping out of the shadows. Poor Keiichi
nearly jumped through the ceiling, he was scared so bad. "Guardian,
you almost gave me a heart attack there, and yes what is so important
that you need to ask me now?" He asked after he calmed down a bit and
saw that it was Guardian who had asked. "I know that you love Belldandy
deeply. If there was a way of preventing something from happing to her,
Would you do it?" Guardian asked. Turning around to open the doors to
the garage, Keiichi replied "You know that I would do anything to save
Bell from harm." It was then that he felt something hit him on the back
of his head. The garage started to spin as he collapsed to the ground.

He faintly heard Guardian state "I would too my friend, I am deeply
sorry." The last sound Keiichi heard before he lost consciousness,
was the sound of his motorcycle leaving. Despite what Guardian had said,
Urd was waiting for him to return. For the first time ever she couldn't
sleep because of guilt. She wanted to apologize for her inappropriate
comment she made earlier. To keep herself awake Urd started watching
late night TV, after awhile she started to doze off. The sound of
activity in the kitchen woke her, and was she surprised to find her
sister Belldandy. "I woke you didn't I? I am so sorry Urd, it's just
that I feel something bad is going to happening to Kei-chan. Because
of that I cannot sleep" Belldandy replied when she noticed Urd in the
doorway. Urd could tell that her sister was intensely worried, and
knew more then she was telling.

Keiichi awoke with a moan and tried to sit up, after everything stopped
spinning he noticed a note with his name on it. Opening the note, he
wondered why Guardian had hit him in the first place. 'I' am deeply
sorry that I had to do that Keiichi, I could not have allowed you to
go to the Auto Club tonight. You must trust me on this, as soon as
you finish this note you must return to the house. Something will have
happened, you have to reassure Belldandy that you are ok. I was also
in love with my Belldandy, and I will do everything to prevent what
has happened to mine from happening to yours. Thank you for your trust.'
Urd and now Belldandy were watching TV when a news flash appeared,
(A explosion followed by a large fireball erupting into the sky, was
spotted on the grounds of NIT (Nekomi Institute of Technology) moments
ago by a campus security guard. After he notified the fire department,
he found that the buildings occupied by the Auto Club were engulfed in
flames. What started it or how it started is unknown.... We will bring
you more on this story as it develops..)

Urd's face paled, she couldn't believe what she had just saw. Everything
was happening just like Guardian told her, she turned to find Belldandy
froze with horror. "Kei-chan" Belldandy whispered as she started to cry,
"Its alright my angel I am ok" Keiichi spoke. He had just entered the
living room, when the news flash came on the screen. Tears streaming
down her face, Belldandy turned and saw that her Kei-chan was alive and
standing behind her. "KEI-CHAN!!!!" she sobbed as she threw herself into
his arms. "Its alright Bell, do you really think I would let anything
happen now that I' am engaged to my goddess?" Keiichi softly whispered
into his crying angels ear. Belldandy looked up at him with tears
flowing down her face, and softly asked "Kei-chan can you just hold me?"
Urd sat there with tears in her eyes, watching the reunited couple
embrace each other.

Keiichi stood there holding his goddess, his beautiful angel, when a
thought crossed his mind. *I would have died tonight, if it wasn't for
Guardian stopping me. There is so much I haven't done yet.* Belldandy
stood there savoring every moment in her Kei-chan's embrace. The
question that she had been pondering, everyday since Keiichi acquired
the nerve to kiss her on the cheek. It was answered when she thought
she had lost him, she was going to give him what he was too shy to
do himself. She was going to kiss him, looking up Belldandy's face
started to blush from what she was about to do. Urd's mouth dropped
in shock and surprise, when she saw her innocent, shy little sister
kiss her fiancé on the lips. It wasn't that Keiichi did not enjoy
the kiss...HE WAS REALLY ENJOYING IT!!!, but he was worried the his
Bell-chan wasn't in her right mind at the time.

And that if he kissed her back, he felt that he would be taking
advantage of her like this. ~~It's Ok my Kei-chan, I am doing this
of my own free will. I realized that we had to get over our shyness
of one and other, before we lose each other for real.~~ Belldandy
spoke to her Kei-chan in his mind. The only answer she received in
reply, was Keiichi kissing her back. Here he was Keiichi Morisato,
romantic failure, pouring every emotion, every feeling in his being
into kissing his gorgeous goddess fiancée. Urd was glad that both her
sister and Keiichi had gotten over their shyness about each other.
Now she was shocked from how long they had been kissing, *they must
be making up for lost time* Urd thought as she shook her head grinning.

The smell of something burnt filled the house, as a lighting bolt
streaked through the sky and hit the ground. Immediately Urd, went
on her guard to protect her sister and Keiichi. The smell was so
powerful, that not only did the two love birds stop kissing. Skuld
walked out of her room, half asleep wanting to know if Urd was trying
to cook again. It was shortly after that, the sound of someone opening
the door to the living room was heard. Guardian stumbled into the
living room singed head to toe, "Sorry about the mess and the smell,
but I had to stay there for awhile to make it seem realistic. Our demon
friends were watching to see if they were successful. Oh and Urd,
there is a message out front stating that you and you alone bring
the two lovebirds up to see HIM" he spoke headed toward the
bathroom to clean up.

Bell gasped, her father wanted to see them BOTH in his office.
Keiichi looked like if he had anymore surprises tonight, that he
would have a heart attack. Guardian walked back into the room, still
smelling slightly scorched, but now completely cleaned. Urd waited
until Guardian had returned into the room before she left. "Urd?,
Tell him I said thank you for everything. He will understand"
Guardian said as Urd was leaving. Hours seemed to have passed, when
Urd finally returned. Guardian stood up gave Urd and Skuld both a
hug. "You better get some sleep tonight ladies, tomorrow the nightmare
ends. We need a way to get Megumi out of the house in the morning and
away from the temple grounds all day" Guardian spoke. "Don’t worry about
Megumi, she has another date with the guy she just went out with today.
They are going to watch the sun rise together" Skuld replied giggling.

"Good, Ladies I will need to meditate before the battle tomorrow. So
we all should be headed to bed. Goodnight ladies" Guardian spoke. He
walked to were his friends were buried in the future and placed red
roses there. "Soon my friends it will be all over, your deaths will
be avenged" Guardian softly whispered. "Misssstress, everyone is in
the house like you had hoped" replied the demon. "Good, we shall attack
at dawn and surprise them. Good job Nazdufa" the female demon stated.
"It is a honor serving you, my Missssresss" the demon Nazdufa spoke
bowing to her. "Soon I will have my revenge, for all the times those
goddesses interfered. You will soon regret becoming mortal Belldandy"
the female demon stated her eyes growing red with hate.
