Part 2




"You want some more snacks, Usagi?"

"Wow, really?  Thank you, Rei-chan!"  Usagi happily gulped down another bag, yes, an entire bag, of potato chips.  She was so happy that her usually strict friend was buying her all sorts of snacks from the train food cart.  Rei rarely offered her to buy her munchies so Usagi was determined to make the best out of her current situation.

Rei smiled as she quietly watched her meatball-headed friend attacking another bag of munchies, despite the shocked stare from the other people on the train.  Usagi was wailing and crying like a baby a moment ago, protesting about having to accompany her all the way to Okayama.  But bags of snacks and munchies solved off that problem right away.

"Geez, why do we have to go all the way to Okayama with you, Rei?"

Of course, that didn't solve the problem of her other disgruntled friends.

"Ohoho.  Don't worry about it, Makoto.  Care for some chocolate chip cookies?"

It didn't hurt to try though......

Makoto snorted.  "What am I, Usagi?  I am not falling for that one, Rei.  You gotta try better than that."

"Um, because you guys are kind and caring friends?"

"*snort* Try another one, Rei."

Minako eagerly nodded her head, while Ami sweatdropped.  "Guys..."

Rei sighed in defeat.  "Come on, I paid for the tickets and stuff, right?  What's so bad about coming with me?  It's not like you guys have something else to do."

"Oh I DO have so much else to do!"  Makoto protested.

Minako also chimed in.  "Yes, me too!  We are not some sort of losers, you know!  We are busy people!  We have tons of stuff to take care of!"

Rei snickered.  "Name one."

Makoto fumed.  "Okay, I will!  First, I have to do my laundry, and...... and......"

"*snicker* Aaaaand?"

"......I DO have so much else to do!"

"You said that already.  How about you, Minako?"

"......fine.  I'll go with you."  Minako gave up fast.  She knew she wouldn't win this battle.

But Makoto didn't give up that easily.  She hurriedly added on her words.  "How about Ami, huh?  I am sure she got some study stuff to do!"

"Eh......"  Now it was Rei who was speechless.  'Damn!  I forgot about Ami!'

"Um, actually..."  Ami blushed when her friends turned their attention to her.  "...I am a little ahead on my schedule so I am free for a couple of days..."

Makoto smacked her forehead while Rei smiled triumphantly.  "See?  All of you guys have nothing better to do anyway.  What's so wrong about coming with me?  Just think of it as our vacation trip, okay?"

"But, but... what if those youmas from yesterday attack again!?"

"Chill down, Makoto.  I am sure the Outers will be happy to take care of them.  And if things become worse, Mamoru will be there too.  There is absolutely nothing to worry about."

"But, but..."  Makoto paused, before muttering in barely audible voice.  "...what if the Knight-san come out again...?  I wanted to meet him again..."

Her voice was thin and soft, but the word "the Knight" caught everyone's attention.

"She's right!  What if there is a youma attack, and the Knight comes to fight again?  We didn't get to ask him anything yerterday, you know!"  Minako continued in her thoughts.  'Like his phone number or where he lives...'

"Hey!  You guys only want to see him again so you can ask him out or something!  He has nothing to do with our official duties as Senshis!"

"Hah!  You are the one to talk, Rei!  You were blushing all over yesterday when he called you a 'fiery tigress!'  You want to see him as much as we do!"

Rei blushed, feeling a bit embarrassed by Makoto's words.  She soon fought back though.  "Well, at least I am not a boy-crazed maniac who thinks every guy who passes by looks like her old SEMPAI!"

"Hey!  This has nothing to do with that!"

"Oh really?  Didn't the Knight LOOK like your old sempai?  Oh wait.  He was wearing a mask so you couldn't see his face.  So maybe he was BUILT like your old sempai!"

"Wait!  He really was!  AND THAT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!"

Minako sweatdropped.  "Um, Makoto?  I don't think you should have said that..."

Ami also chimed in, hoping to break the two up.  "Minako's right.  And I don't think you should be fighting over Knight-san either, guys..."

"Um, who are you guys talking about?  Who's this Mr. Knight?"  Usagi paused during her snacking long enough to ask a question, which Ami answered.

"Oh, we are talking about that man we met yesterday.  You remember him too, right?  You know, the man with the cape and the bandana mask..."

Crack!

All four girls froze when they heard the cracking noise.  They slowly turned their heads to see the now glowing Usagi who had her hands on now cracked armrest.  She quitely turned her menacing gaze toward her friends, and spoke in low and dark tone.

"DON'T.  EVER.  TALK.  ABOUT.  HIM.  IN.  FRONT.  OF.  ME."

"...yes ma'am..."  The four mighty Senshis shivered as the cold eyes of their princess passed by them.  The rest of the ride was quiet, but it was also really really scary and fearful......




'...eh...?'

He opened his eyes.  He was standing on a barren field.

'Weird...  How come I was sleeping while standing up?  And... what's this in my hand?'

He looked down.  Or more accurately, he lifted his hand.  He was surprised to discover a shining long sword there.  'A sword?  Why do I have a sword?'

Then he was surprised even more, as his body began to move against his wishes.  He was doing some sort of movements, probably a kind of sword techinique.  'Hey, it's like a kata, only with a sword...  I ain't half-bad too...  I am pretty good, actually...'

Suddenly his head swirled really fast, so fast that he felt dizzy.  His head abruptly stopped when he spotted a figure of a woman standing in the shadow of a tree.  Then, a gentle breeze blew through, floating her long blonde hair.  He couldn't see above her nose for some reason.  All he could see was her mouth.

'...?!'

Suddenly, the woman became a blur.  Then the blur rushed him.  Instinctively he raised his sword to defend himself.  He managed to block a blade as it almost sliced him in half.

'What the!?'

It didn't end there though.  The blur kept advancing, forcing him to back away little by little.  Her attack was continuous and intense.  All he could do was to keep up with his defence barely enough to stay unharmed.  Even with his skills, even with all his trainings, he still couldn't keep up with her movements.  Slowly, but surely, his defence was breaking down.  Her blade was getting nearer and nearer to his body.

'She, she's really good!'

Finally, he couldn't keep up no more as one blow took the sword out of his hands and up to the sky.  Shocked, he dumbly stared at the now flying sword. It was then when he realized that his eyes were off the attacker.  He quickly diverted his gaze to his front, but there was nothing.

'Where did she go?!?'

Swish!

'!!'

He felt a cold metal feel on his neck.  He slowly turned his eyes down and found a blade right next to his throat.  Opposite to that cold feeling on the front of his neck, the back of his neck was feeling hot all of sudden.  It was then when he realized that the woman was now standing right behind him.  He gulped loudly.

'*gulp* She, she got me!!'

Then he saw it.  He saw the slight movement around the woman's mouth.  The muscles contorted and twisted there.  His pulse suddenly raced as he watched her mouth.  Its movement wasn't all that slow but for some reason he felt like he was watching a slide show, a slide show showing the woman's mouth change, forming...

...forming a smile...

'......?'



"...eh...?"

"Oh, you are awake, Ranma-san."  Minagi smiled at the pigtailed boy.  "You had us worried, you know."

"Um... sorry...  By the way... where am I?"

"You are in the living room.  You were out cold so we were trying to wake you up.  Wait a second.  Sasami-chan!  No need to bring any more ice!  He's awake!"

"Really?!  Okay!"

After Sasami's voice from afar, Ranma heard a quick footsteps, followed by the worried voice of Akane.  "Ranma!  You okay?"

"I think so... but why do I have this bandage around my head?"

"Eh... nothing much... just a safety measure..."  Washu, who happened to be nearby, answered somewhat nervously.

"Okay... aaaaack!!  Get away from me, you psycho!!"  Ranma jumped up, trying to keep a safe distance between him and the pink-haired girl.

"Geez, I already said sorry!"

"When?  I didn't hear nothing!"

"I said that when you were sleeping.  There is no more need for me to apologize."

"Are you crazy?!?  You are supposed to apologize to me when I am AWAKE!!  Besides, I was out cold, not sleeping, and that was because of YOU!!"

"Ah, stop whining."

Before Ranma could yell at Washu again, Minagi spoke calmly.  "Oh by the way, Ranma-san, Tenchi-san and Katsuhito-san wanted you to see you at their training ground.  It's on the path to the shrine, right by the stairs out front."

"Huh?"  Ranma wondered out loud.  "What do they want from me?"

"I think they want you to spar with Tenchi-san or something."

"Great!  Now that's the fun I was looking for!"  Not even casting a second glance, Ranma dashed out of the room, and soon, the house.

Akane, who discovered herself suddenly left behind, scowled deeply.  "That jerk.  He didn't even pay attention to me.  Here I was, worried sick about him!  I am gonna hit him REALLY REALLY HARD when we get home!!"

Minagi, Sasami, and even Washu edged away from Akane since she was now flaming with anger.  In hope of distracting Akane from her anger, Sasami nervously spoke.  "Um, why don't we go see them sparring?  It will be fun.  I'll make some food, and it will be just like our own picnic."

Surprisingly, Akane's mood quickly changed in the mention of making some food, as she clasped Sasami's hands eagerly.  "That's a good idea!  Let me help you!!"

"Um, okay..."  Sasami couldn't help but to feel rather scared, as Akane's glimmering eyes were giving her goosebumps.  'I don't know why, but I feel like I just made a BIG mistake...'(5)

"It's a good idea really, Sasami-chan!  I'll go get my analysis equipments right now!"  Before she even finished her words, Washu ran to her lab in the speed that would put an Olympic athelete to shame.  The rest of them just blinked in confusion.

"Why do we need some analysis equipments for just watching them spar...?"  But Sasami's wondering voice didn't reach the scientist as the pink blur had already disappeared into the door...




The temple was quite and peaceful.  It was more so today even for the one where three goddesses resided.  Eveything was so calm that Keiichi was feeling sleepier by the second.  He really wanted to go to sleep.

Who wouldn't in his shoes?  He was right now lying on a porch, his head comfortably laid on the lap of the beautiful goddess, the one who promised to be with him forever.  The peace and the silence were the special blessing in themselves, but his current situation was nothing if not heaven's present itself.  Keiichi could stay there forever.

Well, nothing was perfect though.  There was one minor detail that bugged him.  He was still a 'she,' a small one at that.  The last blunder of Urd's attempt of 'the cure' failed miserably, as he ended up being a 'she.'  Keiichi sighed helplessly.

'It would have been great if I was back to normal...'

Then he, well, she slowly opened her eyes, and the beautiful face of Belldandy filled the entire view.  Keiichi smiled.  'Well, at least the view is nice.'

"Keiichi!  Hey, Keiichi!  Are you home?"

'Geez.  I knew it was too good to last longer.  Who's that?  Ah, Chihiro-sempai... WHO?!?'

"Aaaaaargh!!"  Keiichi shot straight up.  "Chihiro-sempai's here!!  Chihiro-sempai's here!!  What do I do?!  What do I do?!"

"Um, Keiichi-san?  What's wrong?"  Belldandy asked with a confused look on her face.

"Where is Urd?  Where did she go?  What should I do!?!?!?"

"Ah Belldandy!  You are home, at least..."  Chihiro, who just turned around the corner to find Belldandy and the panicking Keiichi, greeted the goddess.

"Hello, Chihiro-san.  How are you today?"  Ever so cheerfully, Belldandy greeted her right back.

"Fine, thanks.  By the way..."  Chihiro scanned the surrounding carefully.  "...have you seen Keiichi?  I need to talk to him.  Is he home?"

'Don't say yes don't say yes don't say yes...'  Keiichi was praying in his, ahem, her head.  Then she realized something.  'Wait a minute!!  Goddesses can't lie!!'

"Why of course.  Keiichi-san's right here."  Belldandy, still smiling, put the young, and female Keiichi right in front of Chihiro.

'Uh-oh.'  That was the only thought that went through Keiichi's mind as she was on the verge of fainting away.

"Wha......?"  Chihiro blinked.  "What are you talking about?  This girl is not Keiichi...  As a matter of fact, Keiichi is NOT a girl..."

'I am doomed I am doomed I am doomed...'  Keiichi was now frantic as Chihiro just kept blinking at her.  Then she was shocked even more when Chihiro slowly raised her hand.  It made way up to her head...

"You DO certainly look like him though!  Who are you, his cousin or something?  Wow, Keiichi's face looks better as a girl."

...and patted her head.

Keiichi blinked.  'Wha...  I see!  She thinks I am my relative!  I am saved! Lucky!'

But she stiffened when she heard Belldandy speaking up.  "Um... this is not Keiichi-san's cousin.  She is..."

"I am his niece!"  Keiichi quickly cut in.  'Yes!  I made the save!'

"Oh really?  I am sorry, kid."  Chihiro didn't suspect a thing...

"No, no problem, pretty oneechan..."  Keiichi was now sweating nervously.

"Oh my!  She's so cute!"  Chihiro suddenly hugged Keiichi in her arms.  "I wish I had a niece like this one!"(6)

"Hehe... eheheh..."  Keiichi nervously cackled while blushing furiously in Chihiro's arms.

"I can't believe that dumb-looking Keiichi has a niece this cute!"

'Sorry I am dumb-looking!'  A tiny vein popped on Keiichi's head, although she was still pretending to smile.

"...wait a minute..."  Chihiro suddenly stopped hugging Keiichi, as she faced the young girl, who again began to sweat nervously.  "I don't remember hearing about Keiichi having an older sister..."

Belldandy chimed in, still smiling.  "That's because she is not a child of Keiichi-san's sister.  She is..."

"I am his cousin's child!"  Keiichi, showing amazing recovery skill, quickly cut her in again.

"Ah.  That makes sense."  Chihiro nodded her head.  "...but then why did you say she's Keiichi, Belldandy?"

Belldandy cheerfully answered.  "That's because she IS Keiichi-san."

Keiichi felt his heart suddenly stop, while Chihiro blinked, confused.  "Eh?"

But today Keiichi was on a roll, as she quickly responded to the situation.  "My name is Keiichi too!  My mom named me after Keiichi-ojisan!"

"Ah!  Is that so?"  Chihiro hit her palm.  Then she lowered her gaze down as she patted Keiichi again.  "That's a little bad judgement of your mommy, naming you after a guy.  Especially one like Keiichi.  It has a dumb feeling to it, doesn't it?"

Another vein popped on Keiichi's head.  'Sorry my name is dumb too!'

Not noticing it, Chihiro continued.  "I would like to play with this kid more, but I am actually quite busy right now.  I just came by to drop off a box."

"A box?"  Belldandy blinked.

"Yes... well... um... I got a delivery order a while ago... but somehow I forgot all about it!  Isn't that funny?  Heheheh!"

"Delivery?  Where?"

"Yokohama."

"Yokohama?!"  Now it was Keiichi who blinked in confusion.  'What does that got to do with me anyway?'

"So what do you want Keiichi-san for?"  Belldandy asked the question in Keiichi's mind, thankfully.

Chihiro nervously scratched her head.  "Eheheh, well, I was wondering if he could deliver the box by tomorrow... because if I send it by the parcel, it will be too late..."

"WHAT?!?!  You want ME to go all the way to Yokohama to deliver something?!?"  Keiichi did a double-flip.  "Are you serious?!?"

Chihiro blinked for a while, before a realization hit her face.  "Oh no!  Of course I don't mean you, Keiichi-chan!  I was talking about your Keiichi-OJISAN."

'That's all the same to me...'  Keiichi slumped his shoulders.

"Anyhow, I left the box at the front gate.  I wrote the address on the box too, so there is nothing to worry about it.  Please, Belldandy, be sure to tell Keiichi to deliver that box by TOMORROW.  Okay?"

"Sure thing, Chihiro-san."  Belldandy smiled at Chihiro then turned to Keiichi, who blinked in confusion.  "Keiichi-san, Chihiro-san wants you to deliver the box left at the front gate to the address written on it.  She says it has to be done by tomorrow."

Bam!

Both Chihiro and Keiichi now had their faces on the dirt, but with different reasons.

Chihiro managed to stand up while rubbing her face.  "Th, thanks, Belldandy..."  'She really is one of a kind...'

Belldandy replied with a smile.  "You're welcome, Chihiro-san."

"Ha, haha... see you then..."  Chihiro walked away with a weak smile.  'I could never understand that girl...'

All through this, Keiichi still had her face on the ground.  "......"
