    Keichi woke up that morning with a headache.  He
had been waiting up
for the goddesses to return the night before, but
when they had finally
returned, teleporting into the bathroom, courtesy of
Skuld, 

Urd and Belldandy wouldn't have needed Skuld to do the
teleport.  Urd teleports through water as well (see
Skuld's first appearance in the manga) and even
"threw" Skuld back to Heaven through water (beginning
of Welsper story arc).  If Urd can do it, Bell-chan
has the skill to do so as well since teleports drain
no power (i.e. Skuld can do them).

Urd and
Skuld had kept him from going in to see Belldandy.

    Urd had simply stood in his path holding up a
hand.  "Better not go
in there, Keichi."  She had warned with a wink.  "My
younger sister's
clothing was all destroyed in a magical explosion
and she's too
embarrassed to let you see her right now."  She
hesitated.  < More
because she's a giantess right now than because
she's not wearing
much.>  Urd suddenly shrugged with a grin and
stepped aside.  "On second
thought, go right in."

Why wouldn't Belldandy have just regenerated her
clothing or else had Urd conjure her some?  Even Skuld
can create clothing and such.  It's still a funny
scene, though.

    Keichi had hesitated for only a moment, weighing
the embarrassment
of a naked Belldandy vs. the possibility that she
might have been hurt.
He had started forward again, and the last thing he
remembered was Skuld
yelling at him and something hard striking him on
top of his head.  He
had woken up in bed, so either Belldandy or Urd,
probably Belldandy, had
put him to bed after Skuld had knocked him out. 

Keiichi usually wakes up in Belldandy's lap when this
happens. ^_^  

<SNIP>

    Urd grinned wickedly at him, producing a
steaming kettle from thin
air and holding it up to show him.  "I can answer
both
those questions at the same time if you like."

    Keichi blinked.  "With a kettle?"

    Urd nodded mischievously.  "Yup.  Just remember,
you asked!"  With
that, Urd poured a healthy dose of hot water over
the tiger she was
resting on, causing the huge animal to shrink down
into a naked
Belldandy.  Urd continued to rest on her now
completely embarrassed
sibling, rolling over a bit to lay on top of her
like a picture out of a
hentai magazine.  "Well, Keichi?"  Urd asked smugly.
 "Which do you like
best?  The lady, or the tiger?"

    As Keichi gaped in astonishment, the fox he had
been following went
over to Urd and started to bark at her, sounding
rather annoyed.  The
Belldandy underneath Urd was too busy being
embarrassed to scold her
older sibling and lay still, trying to think of a
way to get up without
exposing herself fully to Keichi.  

I don't know if Bell-chan would be so embarrased.  She
has never shown any fear of public nudity.  For
example, K1 had to explain to her that someone peeping
on her while in the bath was wrong.  I could see her
scolding Urd for making Keiichi uncomfortable but not
because she herself was embarassed.

As Urd was
currently the only thing
preserving her modesty, however poorly, she couldn't
think of a way to
yell at her without causing her older sister to
relinquish that
protection.  The fox, however, not quite sharing her
perspective,
continued to berated Urd for her thoughtlessness,
knowing full well that
Urd could understand her if she listened carefully.

    Urd, however, pretended not to understand. 
"What is that,
Bell-vixen-chan?  You feel left out?  You'd like
some hot water too?"
The fox's eyes widened and she started to back away,
but Urd splashed
her before she got out of range, causing the vixen
to grow into another
naked Belldandy, this one on all fours.

    Keichi staggered back, his hand going up to his
nose to stop an
incipient nose bleed.  "What in the... two
Belldandys?  Urd... what did
you do?"

    "I'm so sorry, Keichi."  Belldandy-tiger began. 
"I had meant to
explain this all a little slower...."

    "Urd!"  Belldandy-vixen glared at her older
sister while covering
herself up as best as she could with her hands. 
"You know perfectly
well I wasn't asking for hot water!  How could you
pull such an
irresponsible prank!"

    "You see..."  Bell-tiger went on.  "There was a
bit of an accident
at Jusenkyo...."

    Urd shrugged at her ex-vixen sibling.  "I just
can't help myself.
How can I make it up to you?"

    Bell-vixen sighed.  "Well, you could loan us
some clothing.
Bell-one has most of our power today, as she's gone
up with Skuld to
help debug the system."

    Keichi had one hand over his eyes. (although he
couldn't help but
peek out a bit between his fingers) 

Well, that's Keiichi.

"An accident? 
What kind of
accident?  Why are there two of you, and why were
you a fox and a
tiger?"

    Urd shrugged to Bell-vixen.  "Sure, if you
want."  The bronze
skinned goddess started to pull her dress up over
her head. When she had
gotten it up past her waist Belldandy-vixen gasped
in shock and grabbed
the hem to tug it back down.  His eyes caught by the
sudden movement,
Keichi couldn't help but notice that Urd's platinum
blond hair color was
perfectly natural before Bell-vixen was able to tug
Urd's dress back
down again.

    "Urd!"  Belldandy-vixen scolded.  "You're not
wearing any
underwear?"

Urd does wear underwear, lacy, high-cut underwear for
all those over-the-thigh slits in her skirts.  See
"The Devil in Miss Urd."

    Urd shrugged again.  "Nope.  Did you want to
borrow my underwear
too?"

    Belldandy-vixen sighed.  "Never mind, Urd.  Just
leave your dress
on."

    Belldandy-tiger was still trying to explain to
Keichi.  "Well you
see, Keichi, Jusenkyo is filled with magical
springs... um Keichi...
Keichi?"

Why would a Jusenkyo curse affect a goddess?  Their
forms are regulated by Yggdrasil.

    Keichi forced his eyes back on Bell-tiger's face
with an act of
will.  "Eep!  Sorry Belldandy I was... um... a
little distracted."

    Bell-tiger smiled just slightly, then shook her
head.  "It's
perfectly alright, Keichi.  Now, as I was
saying...."

    "Excuse me, what's going on?"  A pleasant,
familiar voice called
from the direction of the kitchen, and yet another
Belldandy, this one
fully clothed, poked her head into the room.  "Oh
my!"  Taking in the
scene in moments, she walked over to Bell-vixen
while taking off her
apron, handed the apron to her, then started to undo
the buttons on her
jumper.  "I hope you don't mind too much,
Keichi-san, if I disrobe...?"
She sounded nervous, smiling faintly when Keichi
shook his head
silently.  "Thank you, Keichi, I do apologize if
this disturbs you."
Keichi shook his head again, not able to speak, and
trying not to choke
in surprise as the new Belldandy removed her jumper
and handed it to her
twin laying under Urd.

    Belldandy stood up, still moderately decent in
her blouse and white
socks and looked at Urd, who was still holding the
incriminating
kettle.  "Urd.  Is this your doing?"  A gold and
black banded hawk flew
into the room about then, landing on the still
partially dressed
Belldandy's shoulder, and chirping inquisitively. 
Belldandy nodded to
what the hawk was saying.  "Yes, just what HAVE you
been doing, Urd?"

    Urd held up the kettle and poured its remaining
contents over the
hawk in one smooth motion.  "This."  She explained,
grinning as yet
another naked Belldandy appeared, this one perched
awkwardly on her
twin's shoulder.  Hawk Belldandy windmilled her arms
frantically then
toppled backwards.  Throwing off his shock Keichi
leaped forward to
catch her, managing to get himself underneath her
just in time to break
her fall.  Laying there under just over a hundred
pounds of warm,
slightly damp and naked girl, Keichi was tempted to
faint, but by this
time he had gotten so used to weird things happening
on a regular basis
that all he could manage was a mild gibber.

    Bell-hawk turned over in concern, inadvertently
giving Keichi a
close up look at everything her other selves had
been trying to cover
up.  "Keichi!"  She cried worriedly.  "Are you
alright?"

Now that's a natural Bell-chan reaction!

    Keichi focused on her face, pulling his eyes
away from the rest of
her with a truly commendable amount of willpower. 
"I'm... I'm alright,
Belldandy.  I'm just... a little confused." 
Bell-hawk sat up slowly,
belatedly covering up as best as she could with her
hands.

    The Belldandy from the kitchen silently placed
her blouse over
Bell-hawk's shoulders, then turned to Urd, now
wearing only her socks
and white cotton underwear.  "I think you've had
enough fun for today,
Urd-san."  She said in her stiffest voice.

    Urd raised an eyebrow, glancing at her now empty
kettle.  "Well, I
DO need more hot water."  She winked at Keichi. 
"So,
care to join me? We can find some more animals to
pour hot water on...?"

    All four Belldandys' protested loudly.  "URD!!!"

You may have taken Urd too far, here.  If there's one
thing Urd fears on an instinctive level it's the
disapproval of Belldandy.  Look up any number of
instances where Urd has gone too far for whatever
reason, and when Bell-chan finally admonishes her, Urd
backs down immediately.  She can't even contemplate
the possibility of losing the love of Belldandy. 
Bell-chan is the one ray of purity in Urd's existance
and Urd cherishes that deeply.

<SNIP>
 

    The four Belldandys smiled at him.  "We'll be
right back."  Together
they headed for their bedroom.  Keichi stayed in the
living room, sitting where he had fallen, a bemused
look on his face.

Belldandy doesn't have a room in the temple. 
Everybody else does, though.

    Belldandy-hawk put action to her words and
slowly slid closer to Urd
until their hips met.  "I... love... you."  She said
slowly, emphasizing
each word.  "Do you understand?  My heart is yours,
my mind is
yours..."  She slowly pressed herself against her
older sister.  "My
BODY is yours."  Belldandy-hawk emphasized. 
"Because I love you so...
and I wouldn't wish it any other way."  Slowly she
moved in even closer,
then kissed Urd on the lips.  Urd, surprised by the
turn in their
"rehearsal" sat there and let herself be kissed. 
After a moment,
however, she got back into character and responded,
kissing back
fervently.  They
were both so busy playing out the scene that they
missed the sound of
Belldandy's door opening.

I doubt they'd be getting into it that much. 
Belldandy finds lesbian relationships disturbing while
Urd finds the very concept hilarious.  Even Peorth is
strictly hetero, though she seems to be more accepting
of the concept, at least - for others, not her.

<SNIP>

    Keichi's eyes went warm and he nodded. The two
of them melded
together in a kiss so naturally that it appeared
they had
been lovers for years.

    Urd, who had slipped out into the hallway to
watch, sighed.  "It
figures.  After all that work they don't need my
help after all."  

Nah, she'd still find a way to take credit for it - or
be so overjoyed she didn't care.

Well, this is an interesting fic, at least.  I'll have
to look up the past chapters.
