Come What May

A/N: Hello AMG readers. I am new to writing stories for this anime, but I've been a long time fan of the show and movie. Anyway… this is a fic that a friend and I kind of complied on. We were just talking one night when mvdiva and I thought of a great story line for a fic. (It takes place after the show) Anyway- she might someday write her version of the shared plot line, but until then she let me run with the ideas we came up with. (Of course I added my own sugar induced ideas to add things to the story and make it my own…)
And this is what I came up with. I hope you enjoy it. Feel free to send things my way either way… oh yeah and keep an eye out for mvdiva's version. I don't know when she'll post her take, if at all. But it should be interesting,
And now it's time for the standard pointless disclaimer: (Borrowed from another author)
Roses are Red
Violet's are Blue
I don't own
So you no sue

Chapter 1
All the drama of the last three days was forgotten as Keiichi slipped the tiny ring on to Bell's slender finger. Trying to contain her joy, Belldandy leaned into her beloved, throwing her arms around his chest.
He looked down on the top her of her shining head with a great sense of relief and love.
"It's over now, Bell." He whispered to her as her face came up. Her eyes glittered as she gently placed a chaste kiss on his cheek. Keiichi blushed to the roots of his hair at the gentle gesture, and glanced up, as if awakening from a dream to see Urd and Skuld smiling at their success. He grinned weakly.
But the smiles were soon wiped off all their faces as another message, a bolt of lightning, illuminated the grounds. When the dust had cleared, a message was clearly imprinted a few feet away from the group.
Urd and Skuld rushed over, eagerly bending to read the holy words. They quietly muttered back and forth for a moment. Belldandy nervously maintained her grip on the front of Keiichi's shirt. Finally, the two other goddesses straightened.
"What does he mean I'm being demoted?" Urd spat angrily. Skuld shook her head at her meddling older sister.
"But that's what is says… See?" Skuld jabbed a finger at the message near her feet.
To Belldandy Goddess First Class

Has been eliminated
Therefore, we are invalidating
the recall notice." She read.
"And it continues,
Urd, Goddess Second Class, Limited License

Ultimate magic circle of warding
30 days license suspension."
There was a short bark of laughter from behind her.
"What?" Skuld asked. Urd covered her smile and pointed to a line further down. The younger girl stooped down for a closer look before shooting up. "I'm demoted too? And we're stuck here until further notice!" The youngest goddess looked as if she was going to cry. "This is all YOUR fault!" She whirled, glaring accusingly at Keiichi, who was still holding Belldandy in his arms.
He deliberately avoided her eyes.
"Skuld." Bell started. "What happened?"
"Big sister, it's horrible. We're all stuck here and the gate is closed." Tears started to drip down her cheeks as she ran to seek the comfort of her sister's lap.
"Skuld…it's alright as long as we're together." Belldandy said as she released Keiichi to comfort her sister. They all sat in silence as the news sank in. Belldandy idly stroked the girl's hair as she leaned back into Keiichi for comfort. Urd looked uncomfortable as she shifted from foot to foot, watching the group.
She opened her mouth to say something, but was stopped as Megumi came banging out into the yard, "Oh there you are… I was looking for you all." Everyone looked up at her morosely. Bell, Skuld, and Urd were all still dressed in their goddess attire. Keiichi's sister scratched her head as her eyes took in the elaborate clothes. "What's with this?" She asked Keiichi. He looked down at Belldandy blankly.
"Um… well." He started.
"We were getting ready to leave back to our home." Urd spoke up. "We wanted to wear our traditional clothes, you see." All three goddesses nodded earnestly. Megumi cast a critical eye over the entire group before turning to address the girl leaning against her brother.
"Ah, so when are you actually leaving Belldandy?" Megumi asked sadly.
"Well I guess she doesn't have to anymore…right Bell?" He asked, taking her hand. Belldandy gave him a warm smile.
"Well…that's wonderful news!" Megumi exclaimed as she ran over and hugged the startled goddess. Noticing the ring on her finger, Megumi drew both Keiichi and Bell into another hug. "I'm so happy for you two!"
Skuld and Urd sent each other a startled look behind Megumi's back, but neither attempted to clarify the situation. As a normal human, Keiichi's sister couldn't see the Lord's message chiseled in the ground, so there would be no further explanation needed. The group went back into the shrine where Belldandy prepared tea like usual.
While Megumi pestered Keiichi about the 'details' of their relationship, Bell was content just to have Keiichi hold her hand.
Being apart from him had been the hardest thing for her and would have killed her if they had to be permanently separated, but she couldn't forget the differences between them. Being a goddess she knew that she was here for the good of others. She glanced around at the happy faces sitting around the small table. Having these feelings and the need to be by his side were just not heard of in Heaven. They were the closest things goddesses could get to … a sin… she thought as she held a wet dish in her hands. It nearly slipped out of her grasp and back into the soapy water in the sink because her mind was definitely not on dishes right now. Instead she wondered what the future would hold for them.
~
The day went on. Normality returned, well as normal as could be expected for a household with three goddesses living there. Megumi had left some time ago and it was just the four of them. Skuld and
Urd then took their leave of the couple so they could be alone, arguing about something or other, like usual.
Bell and Keiichi sat side by side on the shrine's back porch. Neither needed words to express their feelings. Instead, they sat in a comfortable silence. He had an arm warmly wrapped about her delicate shoulders, and her feathery bangs tickled his nose.
They were quiet for a while, watching the sunset over a grove of trees. Vibrant greens, blues and pinks drove away the last remnants of the day as they watched.
'I love this… being this close. Smelling her heavenly scent, touching her skin…' Keiichi thought. 'How could I live without her?'
Gently pulling her even closer, he stared down into her warm blue eyes.
"Belldandy?"
"Yes, Keiichi."
"I love you…" He said, and pressed his lips pressed against hers. She responded with a little noise of contentment in a way he could never forget. Their kiss turned from the innocent peck he had intended it to be to one of pure love.
Breathless, they pulled away from each other. Belldandy's eyes were filled with tears.
"Bell… what's wrong?" Keiichi asked, a worried frown forming on his face. 'I hope I wasn't rushing her.' He thought instantly. "If it was something I did… I'm sor…"
Before he could finish his words Bell surprised him with another kiss. He let out a startled squeak at her forwardness, and she broke away with a melodic laugh. "No, Keiichi, it isn't anything wrong… it's just that I love you so much. Just the thought of being apart from you, makes my heart sad."
He smiled at her, and wiped away a single tear from her cheek. "Belldandy. We're together now. That's all that matters. Come what may, whatever Fate throws our way, I will always love you."
She sat silently for a moment, absorbing his words before throwing both arms around him. He took her to him joyfully. 'So this is what Heaven feels like.' He mused, and gently ran his hand through her shining hair. They fell asleep that way, happily in each other's arms.
~
"Urd… do you think we should tell them?" Skuld asked.
"No, that would just cause them more grief." Urd replied quietly as they peeked at their sister from a corner.
"Are you sure you understood the Lord's orders right?"
"Yes." Urd sighed. She had just gotten off the line with the goddess
central command. "It's the only way they can fully be together… they just have to overcome this test to prove to the Lord and the world that their love is true." She frowned slightly. "Besides they'll have us to make sure they find each other."
The younger girl crossed her arms and pouted slightly. "Alright. As long as you don't get us into trouble again."
"Me? Get us into trouble?" Urd said as she tried to look innocent. Skuld just glared at her.
~
"And you're sure this is the only way?" Keiichi asked? He held Belldandy close to him. Her tearstained face was buried in his shirt. After having heard the news from Urd, she had burst into tears and refused to stop touching him.
The eldest goddess shook her head sadly. "I'm afraid so."
"I can't…" Bell muffled voice started out, but was cut off when Keiichi tilted her chin up to kiss her lightly.
"I'll find you Bell." He said, looking into her eyes. They shimmered with her pain. "I will never give you up."
"But Keiichi…"
"I will not risk losing you forever if there's a chance we can overcome this test." He told her. "We will see each other again." Giving her one last kiss he stepped back. The trees around them hung low, reflecting the heartache in both of their hearts.
Her arms unwillingly let go of their lock around his torso. "We'll be together again, I promise you my love."
'Don't let her see you cry.' He thought, trying to fight back tears. With tears of her own Belldandy began to use her powers to erase Keiichi's memories again. The shimmering ball of energy grew to encompass both of them since her memories would also be erased. Neither would remember the other, as they would start anew, completely separated.
"It's up to them now." Urd remarked, and wrapped a comforting arm around her little sister. Skuld had her hands pressed over her eyes, her small shoulders hunched in an effort to block out the scene taking place in front of them. The light grew bright as the magic took hold.
'Sister, I hope you find your happiness again.' The taller woman thought, and then there was a bright flash of light.
