Chapter 1: Guardian's First Assignment

After receiving no reply to his knock, Keiichi quietly opened the door
into Guardian's room. Today was the day that Guardian would receive
his new career. And much to the frustration of the others, he STILL
wasn't up. So they sent Keiichi in to try and wake him up, TRY was
the key word here. Apparently Guardian was having some type of dream,
because he had started to talk in his sleep. "Please Skuld have mercy,
three times in one night is almost too much for me. No, not even if
you give me those ultra innocent kawaii eyes of yours. Please Skuld
I need my rest, remember Tomorrow is when I get my new job. Who
knows what your father will think has happened, if I show up exhausted."

Keiichi didn't know what to think about this, Guardian was supposed
to be an angel. And now he is having one of THOSE dreams? Keiichi's
train of though was interrupted, when Guardian started speaking again.
"Come on Skuld, Please be reasonable about this. Let me go back to
sleep, I said no and I mean no. Yes I still Love you, and I know you
have needs. But I will NOT go out again and get you another container
of ice cream. You have had three already tonight and I can't take
another trip." Keiichi felt ashamed, first for listening to Guardian
talk in his sleep. And then for jumping to conclusions, that he was
dreaming about THAT.

Guardian felt that someone was in his room, and he went into attack
mode. After he realized that it was Keiichi, "Is there anything
wrong?" he asked worried. Guardian had jumped to the foot of his
bed, so he would be ready in case of an attack. Shaking his head no,
Keiichi spoke "The girls were worried that you were going to sleep
late." Guardian relaxed knowing that nothing was wrong, he knew
that he had almost overslept. "Guardian, are you nervous about
meeting Skuld's and Holy Bell's Father" Keiichi asked curious,
Guardian turned from his stretching and gave him a look that said
What do YOU think?. He could tell that Keiichi was uncomfortable
about something, and it was then that he knew what."I was talking
in my sleep again wasn't I?" Guardian asked from the dresser.

Without turning he humorously asked Keiichi "Hear anything
interesting?" Guardian smiled and silently laughed, when he
heard Keiichi's breath catch. "You will not believe how late
Skuld kept me up last night. She had me running to the store
for ice cream every two hours last night. At four in the morning,
when I asked her why did she need so much. She just looked at
me with teary eyes, and asked me 'If I still loved her. By that
time I was feeling VERY guilty about making her cry. As soon as
I said that "yes I did love her and that I would go get another
one for her, she had a smile on her face and was hugging me. The
tears were nowhere in sight, she had conned me into doing it.
And I DON'T want to hear any laughing back there Keiichi."

Not saying a word, Keiichi remembered all the times she had
tricked HIM into the very same thing. As they started walking
down the hall, Guardian spoke "She knows that I love her, and
would do anything for her. So to be honest about It, I didn't
really mind." Entering the living area, he started to apologize
"Ladies, I would like to deeply apologize for my sleeping late.
A Goddess who will not be named, had me up very late last night.
Picking up ice cream for her out of guilt for making her cry."
Belldandy turned to her younger sister, with a shocked look on
her face. "Skuld you didn't!" Skuld who was looking very guilty,
tried to make herself as small as possible.

"Skuld knows I love her, and that I really didn't mind d-"
Guardian started as he looked up. But any thought he had
vanished, when he noticed what she was wearing. For the
first time in his life, Guardian was speechless. There in
front of him stood Skuld wearing a new goddess outfit. Skuld
stood there waiting worried that Guardian wouldn't like her
new outfit. But now that she saw that all he could do, was
stand there with his jaw on the floor. It made her blush
deeply, she had wanted to show him that despite her age.
That she could dress as breathtaking and grown up as her
Neechan Belldandy. But she hadn't counted on receiving
THIS much attention from him. When Guardian could think
again, the first thought that went through his mind was 'WOW!'.

He tried to put into words how captivating his goddess was, but
once again he was at a loss for words. Skuld was wearing a white
dress that flowed to her ankles, it had gold scroll on both
shoulders. The dress was slightly off her beautiful shoulders
like all of the formal Goddess outfits. But what surprised him
the most, was how it showed off her legs as much as it did.
Skuld had been very self-conscious about herself, but by the
looks of how that outfit fit her. She must have gotten over
it, "WOW" Guardian spoke when he regained the ability to speak
again. ¥ Looks like he likes Skuld's new outfit Holy Bell
commented to Belldandy with a knowing smile on her face.
Crossing the room to where Skuld was standing, Guardian
placed his hands on her partially bare shoulders.

When he touched her warm skin with his hands, his wings
unconsciously fluttered. "Precious, you look simply Wow...
words cannot describe how beautiful you look right now."
Guardian stated to the now crimson faced young Goddess.
Words may not be able to express what Guardian's feeling.
But his wings are telling a different story Urd stated
with a small smirk on her face. Urd, Guardian does not
think of her like that. They are only expressing that he
is a little nervous and excited. He reminds me of another
couple here, Holy Bell spoke glancing at Keiichi and
Belldandy. "Do you really like it?" Skuld quietly asked
Guardian,"Yes, my first thought when I saw you was Oh, WOW"
was the reply she received from Guardian.
Skuld looked up at her friend, her soul mate, and shyly
spoke "I-I-I thought my outfit needed to be changed, to
something a little more mature. Since my eighteenth
birthday was going to be in a few weeks." After being
reunited, a bond had mentally linked Holy Bell and
Guardian together. Even before it happened, a expression
of deep amusement crossed Holy Bell's face. Guardian
leaned down toward Skuld's ear, so that she alone would
hear what he was about to say. "I knew that you had lovely
legs Skuld, but that outfit just confirms what I thought"
he spoke with a slight grin. Skuld's eyes widened in shock,
and she looked away as a blush of guilty pleasure covered
her face. She was overjoyed that Guardian thought of her
as a women, not as a little girl anymore.

I have always thought of you as a women Skuld, ever since
I realized how mature you were at Keiichi's and Belldandy's
wedding. I just never had the courage to say something to
you before. Guardian shyly said. Um..I really hate to
interrupt you two, but you know how much father hates
it when people are late.. Holy Bell spoke worried. For
the second time that day, Guardian was at a loss for
words when he arrived in Heaven. Not only was he
speechless over the overall beauty of everything.
But from the number of people that seemed to be
waiting on them. As they made there way to the
Goddess Relief Office, Guardian noticed that most
of the people were female. Um..Oneesama, how come
most of the women look hopefully before we pass. And
then when we do they look so disappointed and hurt?

Out of the corner of his eye, Guardian saw Holy Bell
deeply blush and Belldandy start to giggle. Do you
remember when Holy Bell gave you that kiss before
the battle? Belldandy asked looking at him, after
seeing Guardian turn red and nod shyly she continued.
Since you were a mortal at that time, she gave you a
rare gift. It is called The Kiss of an Angel, it is
only given to a mortal who is near death. It is an
angel's way of telling the other angels and goddess
in heaven, that this mortal was already taken. Guardian
looked over toward his blushing Angel, and sent all
the love he had for her over the mental link. Holy Bell's
eyes opened in surprise and she looked over at Guardian
in shock. Yes, My lovely angel I know about the link
between us, and I have learned how to use it.

Guardian spoke as he opened the link to the equally
shocked Skuld. I want the both of you to know, that my
love for you cannot be measured in words. So I want you
to have this.. Guardian then sent his true feelings to
them. Belldandy noticed that her sister, Holy Bell, and
Guardian had been silent ever since she explained about
the gift. Then she realized that they were just talking
telepathically. Shortly after that they stopped, at the
door to the office of The Almighty. Guardian heard a
voice speak to him in his mind, PLEASE ENTER MY CHILD.
After what seemed like hours to everyone, the door opened
and Guardian walked out. Curious Skuld spoke first, "Did
Father tell you about your new position?"

Still deeply in shock, all Guardian could do was just
nod in reply to her question. Keiichi could relate with
his winged friend, he remembered how much of a shock it
was for him. After several minutes of Skuld asking
questions and only receiving nods of yes or no.
Belldandy started to worry, what could have shocked
Guardian so badly that it would leave him so quiet.
"If not the job, then what did you and Father talk
about for so long?" Skuld asked frustrated. Slowly
coming out of shock, he simply stated "Grandchildren.
As he started to turn red, Guardian looked down shyly,
"Your Father said that he will respect our privacy and
that he understood that his daughter was a little young.
He also stated that he knew that the proposal, let alone
the wedding was a long while off.

He also said something about you and I being as bad as
Belldandy and Keiichi, what ever that meant. "BUT" after
the wedding takes place, your Father said that he would
like one thing. Some grandchildren at one point in this
millennia," Guardian finished with his face a deep crimson.
Keiichi was mentally laughing, when Guardian replied "He
meant that for you two also, so I wouldn't be laughing
Keiichi." Urd started laughing very hard, when she saw
that both of her sister's and their significant others
faces turning a deep crimson red. "That shut him up didn't"
she spoke, wiping the tears of laughter from her eyes.
Skuld who still had a deep blush on her face, turned to
Urd and spoke "Oh and your not included in on this" Urd
just gave her little sister a mischievous smile, and
gently patted her abdomen.

Skuld was speechless, she knew that her sister was
careless sometimes. But she didn't think that Urd would
be THAT wreck less. "URD! YOU DIDN'T! What would father
say!" Belldandy spoke, her face flushing in embarrassment.
She knew that father wouldn't approve, if one of his
daughters became "with child." Especially before they
were wedded. It was at that point that a pair of arms
encircled Urd's waist. "He would probably say the same
as I would, When did it happen and what is his name, so
I can smite him." Came a voice from behind where Urd was
standing. Urd's face went pale, then went from pale to a
deep red when she realized who had spoken. Andvari stood
behind Urd with his arms around her, grinning knowing that
he had called her bluff. Starting to grin himself, Guardian
spoke "Thank you for coming on such short notice, Andvari.

I hope that I didn't interrupt you from something important.
But I wanted to teach Urd a lesson, that she shouldn't pull
pranks like that on people. Especially on her sisters and
friends." Andvari nodded as he spoke "No thank you Guardian,
I have always heard that Urd had somewhat of a naughty streak
in her. I am just glad that I was here to be able to see it."
Softly stroking Urd's abdomen "And as for you my love, lets
just worry about this on our honeymoon alright" he spoke
enticingly. Urd's face turned a deep shade of red, as she
looked the other way. Never had she met a man who had the
same drive and wicked sense of humor that she did. After
giving his beautiful goddess a deep kiss, he spoke "
Guardian, I don't mean to be rude, But is there anything
else you need me for? I have a project that needs to be
finished by tomorrow."

After Andvari left, the group went back to what they was
doing. On their way to Yggdrasil, for the final programming
and info. As they walked down the hall, passing door after
endless door, Guardian stopped in front of an open one.
"Kenchi, Ladies, please excuse me for one moment." Skuld
nervously bit her bottom lip, as she waited for Guardian
to return. She was also trying to get the couarge up, to
ask her sister a question that had been frustrating her.
"N-Neechan? Um.. Can I ask you a question?" Belldandy was
curious about what her little sister's question was, but
her full attention was on Guardian. He was currently
standing as if waiting for some one. Belldandy's eyes grew
wide, when she saw who he was waiting on. "Welcome to
Heaven Guardian" Peorth spoke softly as she hugged him.

As she stood there, Belldandy learned a great deal about
the changed goddess. Not only did Peorth look and act demure.
But she also found out something that surprised her even
more. Shyly looking down Peorth spoke "Guardian, I would
like to thank you again for changing my life. Because of
you my whole life has been turned around." "Is this male
angel bothering you beloved?", asked a tall blond Viking
scowling as he put his arms around her. With her face
flushing, Peorth continued to speak "No he is not
bothering me Lars, this is the male angel I told you
about, Guardian." "So you are the one responsible for my
beloved's change of ways." The fierce look Lars had on his
face, disappeared as a look of intense gratitude filled it.
"Thank you for giving me the chance to find someone, as
innocent and beautiful. As I have found in my Lady Peorth"
he stated holding out his hand.

Being a Viking, he tried to crush Guardian's hand to see
who was stronger. When nothing happened Lars, let out a
loud full-bodied laugh and stated "Such strength, come
my warrior brethren will want to meet you." Peorth softly
spoke to her Viking warrior, who now looked like a child
who had been scolded. Belldandy was shocked but not truly
surprised, when she heard that not only was Peorth married
to her Viking. But she was also expecting their first child,
turning her thoughts back to her little sister's question.
She apologized "Skuld, please forgive my unexceptionable
rudeness. What was your question?" Losing her nerve, Skuld
stated Never mind Neechan, it wasn't important anyway.

Turning to Skuld, Belldandy lifted her sister's head so
that she was looking her in the face. Skuld you know that
no question is not important, if asked. Now please what
is your question? Flushing, Skuld softly spoke Umm...
Neechan, what is a kiss like? Belldandy smiled, who knew
that such an innocent question could fluster her little
sister so much. "Skuld, may I ask why you want to know?
I am curious, because I have seen Guardian kiss you on
many numerous occasions." Sighing Skuld spoke, It-It-Its
because when he kisses me, it is always on the cheek or
on my forehead. Like you would a little child. He said
that thinks of me as a women, then why doesn't he-. At
this point Skuld lost her nerve, but her deeply flushed
face told Belldandy the rest. Why doesn't he kiss you
like one, Is that what you wanted to know? She asked
Skuld, watching her little sister who was now blushing
even deeper nod.

Maybe Guardian hasn't had the nerve to do that yet, or
maybe he is just waiting for the perfect moment. Trust
me Skuld, he probably wants to kiss you as much as you
want him too. But doesn't have the courage to kiss a
beautiful young goddess such as yourself yet. Skuld
leaned over, gave Belldandy a large hug and spoke
"Thank you Neechan.." Returning to the group Guardian
spoke glancing back at the happy couple, "What a cute
couple, I' am very happy that things turned out that
well for her." After he apologized to the group, they
started once again. Finally arriving at the world tree
Yggdrasil, Urd sat down in front of a console and
started typing. Deeply curious about Guardian's new
status, Skuld tried to look over Urd's shoulder.

Bringing up a info screen Urd spoke "Lets see here";

NAME: Guardian

POSITION: Overseer of Fate

LICENSE: First Class, third category, Unlimited

Turning around Urd asked "Guardian, what does it mean
your a unlimited, first class, Third category?" But then
she noticed that Guardian was no where in sight.
"Belldandy, do you know where Guardian went?" Urd asked.
Belldandy shook her head no, giggled and stated "It seems
that Skuld is gone as well." Skuld and Guardian slowly
walked through one of the many Gardens, surrounding the
giant world tree. "Didn't I tell you the Gardens were
peaceful?" Skuld spoke as she gracefully sat down. "Have
you ever seen such a beautiful sight before in your life?"
she continued looking around at the whole garden.
Guardian who was too busy watching her replied "yes".
Skuld turned around in surprise at his answer. Then
realizing what he meant, when she found him watching
her smiling.

Blushing deeply, Skuld demurely looked away. She quickly
turned back, when she felt something being placed into
her hair. Reaching up Skuld found that Guardian had put
a wild flower in it. She looked up at him with a
surprised expression on her face. All Guardian could
do was look down bashfully. "I couldn't help it M'lady,
you just looked so innocent and so beautiful sitting
there." Now it was Skuld's turn to be speechless,
Guardian was being so loving, so tender toward her.
She started trembling for some reason and she didn't
know why. Guardian nervously reached over and started
to softly caress his goddess's cheek. This of course
made Skuld's trembling worse, "Skuld, I wanted to thank
you for coming into my life. You and Holy Bell are the
two best things to ever happen to me." Skuld forced her
now crimson face to look up Guardian, and what she saw
deeply surprised her.

He had a look of deep unrelenting love in his eyes, she
knew that he loved her. But she had no idea that he did
this much. Guardian started to lean toward her deeply
trembling pink lips. Skuld couldn't believe her eyes,
Guardian was finally going to kiss her like an adult.
Skuld closed her eyes when they were about to touch.
"There you are Skuld, Guardian, We were wondering
where you two went." Opening her eyes, Skuld noticed
that Urd, and the rest of the group were entering the
garden. Looking longingly at Guardian, who was now
deeply flushed. And knowing that the moment had been
completely ruined, Skuld turned to her older sister
and gave her a very angry glare.

Urd took a step back upon noticing the infuriated
look on Skuld's face. She had just stepped into the
garden and now her little sister was giving her the
most hostile look she had even seen. "Um Belldandy,
can you please tell me what did I do wrong this time?
Urd asked oblivious to what had transpired moments
before. Looking over at Skuld, Belldandy could feel
waves of hostility and anger toward at Urd. At the
very same time, she also could feel waves of disappointment,
frustration, and longing toward Guardian. Urd, how would
you feel if you were Skuld's age and someone walked in
on you. Just when you and your boyfriend were trying to
kiss? Belldandy asked looking at her sister.

"Heh, all kinds of horrible torture method's come to mind."
That was when it hit her, "Bell, Please tell me I didn't do
what I think happened. Urd's face paled as Belldandy nodded
in conformation, "No wonder she's so mad at me right now, I
thought those two would have been there weeks ago. Let me
guess Guardian didn't have the nerve right?" Belldandy's
smile turn to that of concern, when she noticed that Skuld
had pulled a SkuldBomb out and was headed for Urd. Guardian
glanced up and almost laughed, once again Oneesama was trying
to keep Skuld and Urd from killing each other. Guardian walked
over to Holy Bell worried, when he felt feelings of sadness
across their link.

What's wrong my love? Guardian asked as he looked into her
deep blue eyes. It's nothing, I am just saddened by the
thought of you not being here. Holy Bell stated as she
looked down unhappily. I have known that you were going to
leave on your first mission soon. But I didn't realize it
was going to be now. As Guardian put his arms around his
angel, his wings closed around them so that they could
have privacy. Softly kissing Holy Bell on her satin lips,
he softy spoke I will deeply miss you also my gorgeous angel.
But we both know the reason why I am still alive today, and
that is why I must go on these missions. But it's nice to
know that I'll be deeply missed when I am gone. Guardian
usually would lose his nerve, shortly after kissing his angel.

But this time he was feeling a bit mischievous, so he started
to slowly trace the edge of Holy Bell's wings. As she felt
Guardian run his fingertips along her wings, Holy Bell's eyes
widened in shock at his boldness. That is so you won't forget
me while I' am gone he spoke to his blushing beauty. And
this is a preview of when I return, Guardian stated stroking
the area where her wings joined her back. His eyes widened
in surprise as he heard Holy Bell release a shaky breath. After
placing a affectionate kiss on her now shaking lips, Guardian
noticed that Bell was done talking. Crossing over to where
Skuld sat sulking, he reached out and caressed her silken cheek.

"My precious, are you alright?" When Skuld nodded yes, Guardian
spoke handing her a package "Here, I know your birthday isn't
for a few weeks, but since I don't know how long I will be on
my mission. I wanted you to have this small token of my love
for you. I had originally desired to give you this while we
were alone. But now I can't think of a more perfect time then
right now. Please open it my ravishing goddess, then I can give
you part two of your present." Skuld curiously opened the box,
and gasped in shock when she saw the contents. Inside was the
diamond pendent necklace, she had seen while she was shopping
with Belldandy a few weeks back.

Skuld's gorgeous brown eyes started to tear up, when she
remembered what the price had been. Here Guardian went and
paid that immense price tag, for a necklace she said she
liked. Just to make her happy for her birthday. That is one of
the main qualities she loved about him. That he would go out of
his way, to make his 'special angel' happy. Even though he
knew that she would have been perfectly happy with a simple gift.
Skuld completely embarrassing her boyfriend, by hugging him and
thanking him for her gift so much. Looking down bashfully Guardian
stated "Your welcome my love, Belldandy's the one you really should
thank.

I wouldn't have know about the pendent in the first place, if
it wasn't for her. She told me how much you wanted it, but couldn't
afford it." Guardian waited until Skuld was done thanking her 'Neechan',
to ask her a question. "Skuld my breathtaking girlfriend, do you trust
me?" He asked looking her in the eyes, and seeing the shocked expression
he expected. "What kind of a question is that? Of course I trust you
Guardian. Why do you ask?" "Then please close your eyes" the now
grinning angel spoke, as he watched her eyes grow curious. When she
had closed her eyes, He whispered "And now for part two of your gift."

As Guardian softly placed his lips onto her silken ones, tears of joy
slid down Skuld's face. She had waited so very long, for him to kiss
her like he was doing now. Reaching over and gently wiping her tears
away , Guardian softly spoke "I take it you enjoyed your second gift?"
Caught by surprise, Guardian found himself on the ground and at the
receiving end of a very powerful, but still innocent kiss. Belldandy
turned her head as she blushed in embarrassment, over the actions of
her little sister. Holy Bell giggled as she watched the two people she
deeply cherished kiss, her face flushing pink. "Hmm that looks like fun,
want to try it?" Keiichi whispered into his goddess's ear, causing her
to blush deeper.

All Urd did was grin and tease them by saying "GET A ROOM" It was
shortly after that the two lovers quickly parted, gasping for breath
and turning red with embarrassment. "URD, Neechan make her stop teasing
me like that!" a panting Skuld asked weakly. Giggling at a chance to be
naughty, Belldandy replied "I agree completely with Urd. If you two wanted
to do something like that, you should try and control yourselves at
least until we returned home." Skuld's mouth flew open in shock as her
face flushed beet red "BELLDANDY! I-I, W-w-we w-would never d-do
anything like that" she stammered completely flustered. Urd was
about to make another comment, when Belldandy stopped her.

Urd please don't, we have already had enough fun with them over this.
Sighing with disappointment, Urd acknowledged her sisters request
and stopped teasing Skuld. Grinning Guardian thought of a way to get
back at both Urd AND Bell. "Urd, why don't I call Andvari back, so
you can tell him about that "Wedding Present" you gave your sister
and Keiichi" "Onesama, How about I go talk to your father, and see
if I can get Urd's potions back? Maybe she could help, remember what
your father's wish was?" Skuld took one look at the paling Urd and
the now deeply blushing Belldandy. It was almost more then she could
handle, and she fell to the ground laughing. "Someone has finally
beaten you at your own game Urd!" Skuld stated in-between giggles.

When Urd recovered she gave Guardian a fiendish smile. "I wouldn't
if I were you Urd. Unless you want your treasure guardian to find
out about that magically enhanced mistletoe, you been growing in
the backyard. It may give him ideas" he stated starring right back
at her. Not wanting to admit defeat and especially not wanting her
special "Vari" to learn about her mistletoe. Urd back down for the
first time in history. After telling his goodbye's to everyone and
getting tackled by Skuld again, Guardian got ready to leave for his
first mission. Out of the corner of his eye he noticed a flash of
light, curious he turned around to see what it was.

There floating beside Skuld was an angel with blondish-brown hair
and what seemed like ribbons of silk wrapped around her. The
female angel was looking down shyly, a light blush covering
her face. Looking up timidly, she gave Guardian a small smile,
blew him a kiss and disappeared in flash of light. Skuld
giggled at the confused look on her boyfriends face. "I guess
she wanted to thank you for the gifts also." With a bashful
expression on his face, Guardian spoke "I just wanted the
same thing she did, for you to be happy." Much to the surprise
of everyone, Guardian opened a dimensional portal. After which
he entered and vanished. Pondering on the sensation she felt,
Belldandy shook her head. It's impossible but I thought I felt
a wave of jealousy coming from Holy Bell, when Noble Scarlet
blew Guardian that kiss.
