Peorth Wahhh how am I going to get Keiichi to become brave enough to tell Belldandy he loves her? I've tried so many methods already, and there have been so many distractions. Be it nice distractions like his parents visiting. His mother...That woman is the queen of mah-jong, she scares me. To defeat myself, Urd and skuld in games that are our forte! What amazing power she has. Keiichi's father was adorable he even gave each of us a feather pendant. I've kept it in a drawer in my room. Correct I have a room; Belldandy thought since I visit for so long I might as well have my own Peorth palace. It's lovely but I do miss Heaven among other things. I wonder what Lind is doing now. Probably teaching a student how to fly or stabbing her paperwork with her pen. I miss her, being on holiday, I mean work, isn't as fun without her. This time difference is horrible. There is roughly a one to two ratio of Heaven to earth days, give or take a few hours. I think the last time I talked to Lind was six earth days ago and until Keiichi confesses his feelings, I won't be leaving anytime soon. I love my work and the time I spend here but I envy the amount of time Belldandy gets to spend with her loved one. ---------- I walked through the hallways and slid open the doors to the living room. There floating in front of the TV was Urd, and Skuld was sitting at the table with a screwdriver and a circuit board. "Did I miss the opening to My husband?" I asked as I sat down at the table and poured myself a cup of tea. "Yes but don't worry, you didn't miss much. Yuichiro is just about to meet Sakura's father." replied Urd as she sat down properly on the floor and didn't float for once. I suppose it's because she knows I watch these shows unlike Skuld and doesn't mind sharing the TV. "Bah! I don't know how you two enjoy this drama" blurted Skuld as she put on a large pair of goggles and was now welding things to the circuit board. I find it hard to believe that Skuld is a leader of the Operation just like Urd and I. Her intelligence does make up for her lack of power, but in time she'll become as amazing as her sisters. She stopped welding and now put the circuit board into a small remote, Urd and I watched her and we prepared to put up a barrier just in case of an explosion, but surprisingly nothing happened. She pointed the remote at the TV and pressed several buttons. The TV went static for a few seconds then it turned onto a channel. This looks familiar I noted as I took a sip of my tea. I almost spat it out at Urd when I realised what Skuld had changed the channel too. "You hacked into the Yggdrasil system?!" "Good isn't it?" Said Skuld with pride. "Now we can know what's going on in Heaven without having to go there all the time." "What's the point Skuld?" asked Urd as she grabbed the remote and changed the channel back to the drama. "Remember that time you and I had to go to heaven and onee-sama was sick? I'm not letting that happen again!" "I'm sure she won't be sick again you don't need to worry about her." "I'm not worried about onee-sama I'm worried about Keiichi! Who knows what he might do to her next time!" Determination was in Skuld's eyes and she stole the remote again then left the room muttering something about making Banpei-kunmore protective of her onee-sama against Keiichi. The door slid closed and Urd and I looked at each other, then sighed loudly. "I'm happy at times I don't have a little sister" "I'm just happy she's not this obsessive about me and my relationships" said Urd. "Well I suppose she was too young to interfere when you were dating Troubadour." "Thank goodness for that! If she did interfere he would only fight back with curses and songs." We both laughed and I saw outside Belldandy had summoned Holybell. I motioned for Urd to get up and we entered the garden and summoned our own angels. World of elegance stretched out her arms and Gorgeous rose hugged me. "Hello everyone, I haven't seen you in a while," said Belldandy looking at our angels. They smiled at her as they started talking to Holybell in the own silent angel language. "Oh hosting a tea party are we?" Asked Urd. "Yes, I bought some western style tea this morning and thought it would be nice to have some out in the garden. Care to join me?" "Of course" I replied and sat myself down. What a beautiful day it is. The sun is shining, the wind is blowing lightly and the flowers are singing softly. What's more this western tea was rather good, thought nothing can beat my regular Japanese tea. We all smiled at each other "Is keiichi not joining us?" I asked. "No because I requested him not too." "Really?" said Urd in mock surprise. "It has been a while since us three have had some quality time, so I asked him not too." "We must let our angels enjoy themselves like this more often," I said. "Yes, that's right since their all gathered here like this," said Belldandy happily. "I'd like to go do some research, but I suppose it can wait." "I think if Keiichi joined us he might feel a bit overwhelmed with our angels out" said Belldandy. Gorgeous rose and World of elegance giggled at the statement, they knew it was true. Our angels love teasing him as much as we do at times. "What a lucky man to be adored by so many goddesses, he probably doesn't even know how lucky he is" said Urd. "I consider myself lucky to be with him as well," She elegantly took a sip of her tea then smiled widely at me. "What about you Peorth? Do you think you are lucky to be Lind?" I blushed slightly at the statement, not that I was embarrassed about our relationship but I wasn't used to people asking me about it. I nodded then took a big gulp of tea. "I have no significant other so I can't compete with you two," sighed Urd. "Don't worry Nee-san someone is waiting for you." Thank goodness the conversation has shifted off me. "Yes someone is waiting for me just like how Peorth is waiting for Lind's call." I take my statement back. "I'm not waiting for any call." She raised her eyebrow at me and Belldandy smiled knowingly. Am I that obvious with my emotions? "Fine. I am waiting for her call. I just haven't talked to her in a while." Gorgeous Rose hugged me tightly and smiled, it's not only me that misses Lind a lot. "It's Lind, she will call back immediately the moment she can. I'm sure of it." I smiled and noticed World of elegance disappeared back into Urd as she walked up to an unsuspecting Skuld. The child was holding her angel egg and was staring at it intensely. Belldandy and I both got up and our angels disappeared as well. "Whatcha saying!? I know my power is still too low!" shouted Skuld. "It's not that your power is too low. You simply haven't integrated with your angel yet. You must make the decision to always walk with your angel" I said to Skuld. If Urd told her this, her temperament would only worsen. It seems she listens a bit more to me than Urd. "And you must feel that you truly want to meet your angel. You should not want to meet you angel because you envy others." "Onee-sama I..." A great whirlwind formed above us and caused almost everything in the area to tremble. The force was so immense, I could sense that it could easily over power myself and Urd, perhaps even Belldandy. "Something of great power descends" "Not another demon!" Yelled skuld. "No, this is a god. But also I fear from the combat division" said Belldandy. I know this power. I feel I know it all too well. I closed my eyes and tuned into the force closing in on us. "It's Lind" I whispered. No doubt about it I know its her. ---------- A great light beamed down from the skies and it exploded upon impact with the earth. The light soon disappeared and Lind appeared before us, proud and tall as always when on duty. She missed me that much did she? "First class Goddess, Special duty Limited, Reporting" stated Lind clearly with her arms straight by her side like the professional Valkyrie she is. "......Who is that?" Asked Skuld. Urd and I almost fell from shock. I suppose Skuld has only met my dear Lind once for a brief moment during the Lord of terror incident. "You don't know who the Fighting wings are?!" I almost shouted. "With fighting as her speciality, even amongst the Valkyrie's she's a goddess of extreme violence. Their training is so intense that there are less then fifty first class goddess Valkyries in all of Heaven and Lind is one of the most powerful of them all. And her angel only has one wing that must mean some abnormal occurrence occurred," Little Skuld's mouth was agape listening to us. I was in a teasing sort of mood so I bent down and whispered into Skuld's ear "She's also my girlfriend." "EHHHHHHH!" She yelled her eyes wide with shock. I winked at Lind but she pretended not to notice me. "Anything that got here in the last 24hours or anything suspicious, bring it forth now!" "Yes sir!" shouted Urd, Skuld and I. We each dashed back into the house then grabbed things from our room then ran back outside to Lind. Why am I following her orders so frantically? It must be the influence of staying with this family for so long. "Even this dobon I bought today?" Asked Skuld. "Yes that's right." Skuld sighed loudly then threw it into the pile of items, muttering about she hadn't even read the ending yet. "Even this rose I just got from a secret admirer?" I asked. Her eye twitched slightly then she took the rose from me and threw it onto the pile. "Especially items like that." I giggled lightly; she's so easy to tease. "Even this mandragora I bought at a sale?" "I don't admire you for buying that you know. It's illegal in this dimension, but I will overlook that fact right now." After all our new items were placed in the garden and after Skuld and Urd had most of their possessions taken away from them Lind finally alerted us of the situation. "The angel eater has escaped Heaven and is on earth, most likely in this location because it is drawn to all of your strong angels." "THE ANGEL EATER THE MYTHICAL BEAST THAT EATS ANGELS?!" Yelled Urd. "Correct" said Lind calmly. "HOW'D THEY GET PAST THE GUARDS?!" "Unknown." "ARE ANGELS DELICIOUS?!" Yelled Skuld. "I'm not an angel eater so I don't know." Lind stepped forward and raised her hands in preparation for a spell. Her signel lit up on the ground and it glowed a light blue colour. "I'm going to establish a quarantine area here. Going in and out of the Morisato residence is prohibited. Anyone who passes through the boundary will be unconditionally sealed" said Lind. In a flash, a giant dome appeared over us and as soon as it appeared, it vanished. I'm sometimes astounded at her skills, to create such a high level barrier in a manner of seconds is no easy feat. "But what if we were to do a dimensional jump?" Asked Belldandy. "If there is interference from a dimensional jump then an alarm will sound." With her eyes closed, Lind floated over to the deck and sat down, hugging her knees to her chest with her arms. "Now I shall stand by." We all looked at each other with wide eyes. Keichi and Skuld looked confused, whilst Belldandy, Urd and I were just worried. "Your girlfriend is weird Peorth" said Skuld. ---------- Everyone left to do their own things, eventually leaving me alone with Lind. I have to say even for Lind her behaviour is a bit weird right now. I sat down on the deck next to her, swinging my legs and whistling softly. Seconds passes, then minutes, then my eye twitched slightly in frustration. Why won't she pay attention to me? "Lindddd" I whined, but she didn't move. "Lind!" I said louder. I turned to face her and poked her in the arm. When she didn't move again I prodded her hard on her stomach, but still nothing. I was going to yell at her; however, I noticed she was breathing faintly. Oh my, is Lind asleep on duty? I leant in closer and listened "Zzzzz" Yes indeed she is asleep. My inner Peorth started to laugh evilly. Lind always wakes me up because she's such an early riser, the times that I do manage to wake up before her I tease her mercilessly. Chance! I leant in as close as I could to her head and put my lips next to her ear. "Lind-Koi, w-a-k-e u-p" I whispered emphasising each syllable on purpose. Then I slowly trailed my hand up her back, stopping at the base of her shoulder blades before trickling back down. Her eyes immediately opened and her head shot up. "Wahh! Angel eater!" she yelled from shock. Success. She eventually stopped looking around frantically and realised I was sitting next to her. "Hiiii" I said and smiled angelically. She frowned at me but then relaxed and we both started laughing. When she smiled I always feel so euphoric because I realise I'm the one that has made her smile. No one in the entire universe can do that apart from me. "I fell asleep." "Yes you did, so I thought I should wake you up because you weren't paying any attention to me." "Not because I'm meant to be protecting everyone right now?" "Nope. I'm your number one priority." "How selfless of you" she joked. I looked in her eyes and somehow we both knew what we needed. She wrapped her arms around me and I hugged her waist. My head rested on her shoulder whilst her head rested on mine. A hug can say a lot for us, it can mean forgive me, stay with me, help me, I need you, and I love you. Right now, it certainly means the last two. It's been too long since the last time I've held onto Lind like this or inhaled her scent of faint mint. Suddenly the door behind us burst open and flew past us at an incredible speed. We both jumped up and faced the door. From the smoke all I could see we a small figure with an obscure head and what looked like a gun. Do angel eaters use guns? "Keiichi! You've really done it this time! No one is touching onee-sama!" Oh dear god please tell me this isn't happening. Hearing the voice Lind and I shook our heads and sighed deeply. The smoke cleared and out emerged an angry looking Skuld with yes a large gun and an obscure helmet with large goggles. She pointed the gun at Lind then looked around furiously. "Where is he you two?" "Not here" replied Lind. "Oh I know he's here somewhere! My kiss-o-meter levels were skyrocketing in this area just now." "I wonder why..." I muttered as I folded my arms. No wonder nothing happens with Keiichi and Belldandy, this child has some super detecting affection machine. Note to self- destroy machine. Behind Skuld walked forward Belldandy and Keiichi who started crying about the broken doors. "Skuld what are you doing." "Protecting you from this beast onee-sama. And now that I've found him" she said eagerly. She snapped her goggles into place and pressed a giant red button on the gun and pointed at Keiichi. Suffice to say she chased him around the entire house. It was all fun and games really until Skuld let forth a scream of pure terror. Immediately we ran to her to see her bent over Urdwho was lying on the floor. She lay there with an expression on her face like she was half alive half dead. "What happened here?" Asked Keiichi. Lind and Belldandy motioned for Keiichi and Skuld to let them inspect Urd. Belldandy placed her hand over Urd heads and checked Urd's vitals. "Her angel has been pulled out," said Belldandy. "This is the work of the angel eater." "Will she be alright?" Asked Skuld. "There is no immediate danger to her life but we cannot leave her like this for long. We goddesses and our angels are of one mind and body, if we are forcibly pulled apart our bodies will go into shock." "To deal with the great loss of power we goddesses go into an emergency vegetativestate. This way we can survive for longer without our angel as we consume much less energy then if we are awake" said Lind. Skuld and Keiichi nodded in understanding; hopefully nothing will happen to those two. "This must be the plot of a demon. Otherwise who else would dare target goddesses?" I said. "I agree" said Belldandy "for harm to come to Urd here..." "Means either something invaded here just now or...it was already here right from the start. In any case we must search for the Angel eater and salvage the stolen angels soon otherwise we won't be able to return them." The clock chimed loudly, it was already five o'clock. How much time have we wasted not searching? "We must refrain from summoning our angels so we won't be attacked" "Why didn't Urd do something as simple as that then?" Said Skuld. She's right. Urd isn't so stupid to simply summon her angel when an angel eater is on the prowl. She is known to throw thunderbolts at people for fun, but she's not silly as to summon her angel. What's going on here? "Keiichi can you get a pillow and futon?" Asked Belldandy. She picked Urd up using her magic and lay her down properly on the futon and pillow Keiichi quickly laid out. We closed the doors behind us as we left the room "I shall stand by outside. Peorth, Belldandy be careful," stated Lind with a hint of fear in her voice. If Lind sounds scared then this is really a dangerous situation. In the corner of my eye I saw Skuld frown and she clutched her angel egg pendant in her hand. Skuld if you still want your angel even in such a situation we're in, your getting one-step closer to meeting her again. "Skuld do you want to help me? I'm going to go through the goddess database for information about this creature," I asked and smiled hoping it would cheer her up. "No thanks Peorth, I'm going to go make something that will help!" she said as she dashed off towards her room. Well it looks like she needs no cheering up from me. I turned around to see the distancing form of my Lind and sighed lightly. Does she even know what danger she's in just by trying to protect us? Does she even know the amount of danger she's in every day when she goes out for missions. Does she think about how much I worry? Being a Valkyrie is her life; and all I can sully what she loves to do with my silly worries. But sometimes the fact that her mission comes before me annoys me slightly. ---------- I shrugged my shoulders and headed into the living room and sat down in front of the TV. I opened a portal into the Yggdrasil system using my keycode. Ha! Who needs Skuld's little remote when you have the key code! Quickly I opened up all the sources I could find about the Angel eater. It seemed I was so immersed in my research that I didn't hear someone enter the room. A strong hand held onto my shoulder and spun me around quickly. Blue hair spun in front of me in a swirl. "Lind what are you..." I tried to say but she quickly kissed me. I closed my eyes and returned the kiss; we both need this. What started off as gentle touches and caresses soon became strong, demanding, powerful kisses of dominance that made my heartbeat 1000miles and hour. Her hands trailed through my hair and she pulled me closer to her body. I was soaring through a clear blue sky and she was holding my hand and leading the way, it was incredible. I let out a moan of protest when she pulled away but it was probably for the best, we can't continue when there's an angel eater on the loose. She held my hand and slowly stood up. "Peorth...I won't let anything happen to you..." "I'll be fine" I quickly interrupted. "But if anything happens to you..." I quickly tugged on her hand and pulled her down slightly, and then I kissed her lips once more, softly, reassuring her that I would be fine. I smiled at her contently and she headed for the door. "I'm going to take some time off after this mission to spend more time with you," she said with her back facing me and then she quickly left. She closed the door behind her and I grinned madly. Did that really happen? Did Lind just tell me she was going to take time off work, to spend time with me? This is like a dream come true, again. The first dream was being with Lind to begin with, but this is a new dream. Actually what am I babbling about? Holiday with Lind!! No Peorth focus! First priority research the angel eater then plan holiday with Lind. I shook my head and focused on the screen; I floated up into the air and wondered where we should visit. Perhaps earth? Or another dimension? The beach! No, Lind wouldn't wear a swimsuit. Suddenly Gorgeous rose appeared from my back. "What?! Gorgeous rose you can't come out!" I heard a sharp shrill cry that pierced my soul. She immediately flew to the source of the noise and was engulfed by a monster. Such pain. I've never felt anything like this before. Feathers scattered through the air like raindrops and I collapsed to the ground with a thud. I realise now, its not that Urd summoned her angel, it's that she could not control her. It's that noise. My mind faded in and out of consciousness, and then I lost all thought suddenly. I'm sorry Lind. BONUS!! Omake!! 1)- Resume the door bursting open scene Peorth: Lind is it the angel eater? Lind: No its much stronger than an angel eater The smoke clears and out emerges a figure. P: FATHER?! L: Father?? Oh no....... Peorth's father:HO HO HO HO WHO DARE DATES MY PEORTH?

The loud pattering of feat is heard and Peorth is spun around quickly. All she can see is a swirl of blue hair. P: Father?! What in kami's name are you doing here wearing a blue Lind wig?! Father: It's the only way I could get pass that stupid robot guarding this house P: What about the barrier Lind set u... Father: Enough of how I got in.

P: Um...Father I already know all about 'that' Father:What you do? PEORTH how could you do such a thing without me?! P: WHAT?? WHY WOULD I WANT TO DO THAT WITH YOU?? Father: How could you open up a joint bank account without me knowing? I have plenty of experience when it comes to bank accounts and interest rates Peorth sweat drops again. P: oh that heh...We haven't opened up a joint bank account yet. Father: Excellent let me talk you through it 3)- Green room In the corner Mara is crying softly Urd: Mara what are you doing here? Mara:Why I'm crying of course! LEave me alone! I havent even made an apperance in this fic yet so i haveto stay in the green room and serve everyone tea and donuts! U:Yes Belldandy does have a thing for donuts. sigh. What a sad existence to be an extra M:IM NOT AN EXTRA!! HE's an extra! Points at Peorth's father as he has a stare down with Lind
