Date-wise, you'd have to look at the timeline for my A/U. Basically, this begins just after Celestine and the movie, just before Second Impact, and well before Neon Genesis Goddess.

I don't own Ah My Goddess

I don't own the characters either.

Prologue

1998 (Post-Movie)

Tariki Hongan-ji

Nekomi, Japan

Darkness covered Nekomi, the only light to be seen was that from the city and the stars above. The few people still awake took no notice of the stars above. They were too busy moving about their lives. The few that did look up only gave the guardians of the nighttime sky a casual glance.

Only one person was actively watching them.

It was a woman in her early twenties. She sat on the roof of a temple, watching the stars far above. As she sat there, the wind casually blew about her long honey brown hair. Her gaze never strayed from the sky though.

Her name was Belldandy, and she was a Goddess.

Goddess First Class, Unlimited, Goddess of the Present, she carried these titles with her name. She was also a daughter of Kami-sama, and sister to Urd and Skuld. But she had another title that she was most happy about: girlfriend of Keiichi Morisato.

There was nothing special, nor remarkable about Keiichi. In fact, he would be the first to say such things about himself, much to Belldandy's displeasure. In Keiichi, she found a kind hearted person, willing to put others ahead of himself. Despite everything that he had been put through because of her, her sisters, even the Demoness Mara, Keiichi had taken it in stride and never left her side.

This had only been reinforced days ago, when Celestine had erased her memories of Keiichi. He had remained with her, helping her to regain her memories. But the ultimate test had been when Belldandy and Keiichi had found themselves before the Judgment Gate. They had passed through it, proving that their love was true.

But her memories of Keiichi weren't the only memories to return. Another, darker memory had surfaced as well.

"Onee-sama?"

Belldandy turned and looked to see Skuld walking along the ridgeline of the temple towards her.

"What is it Skuld?" Belldandy asked softly.

Skuld, Second Class Limited, Goddess of the Future, sat down beside her older sister. To both deity and mortal, Skuld was young, only twelve years old. But she was much smarter then any mortal twelve year old.

How many twelve year olds do you know that have made a robot?

"What are you doing up here Onee-sama?" Skuld asked.

Belldandy smiled and looked back up at the sky.

"Just watching the stars Skuld."

"Why?" Skuld asked.

Belldandy took in a deep breath and sighed.

"I find them soothing Skuld." Belldandy replied, "Especially when I can't sleep." That was the truth. Since the memories had returned, she couldn't stop seeing the bodies of the fallen Yggdrasil Guardians, downed by her hand.

"Oh." Skuld looked down onto the Temple grounds. Banpei was out, patrolling the area for Mara or any other Demon that might show up. She then looked up at the sky.

"Onee-sama?" She asked.

"Yes Skuld?"

"About Keiichi……."

Belldandy closed her eyes and mentally sighed, preparing herself for yet another Skuld rant about how Keiichi was no good for her.

"Why do you like him?"

Belldandy opened her eyes and looked at her youngest sister in surprise. She wasn't expecting that!

"He's a kind person." She replied, "He cares for all of us."

"But why him?" Skuld asked, "Why a mortal?"

"Love doesn't ask why Skuld." Belldandy said, "It doesn't see wither you're a goddess or mortal, it speaks from your heart." She turned and looked back up at the stars. "I met Keiichi when we were both very young. I had to leave and erase his memories of me. He let me do so, just so I wouldn't be punished. As I got older, I followed his life, watching as his heart remained kind and true." A smile appeared on her face. "And then I granted his wish, and his wish was me. It's like a dream, a dream come true."

"But dreams end." Skuld pointed out.

The smile faltered slightly on Belldandy's face.

"Yes." She whispered, turning from the sky and facing her sister. "Dreams do end. But then we're left with the memory of them."

Skuld stared at her sister's face. Belldandy was still smiling, but her eyes…..her eyes were hiding something. It was well known to both Urd and Skuld that Belldandy was very adapt at hiding her true emotions from those she cared about. Several times, Skuld had witnessed the results of Belldandy repressing her jealously of Keiichi. It was not pretty.

"Come on Skuld." Belldandy said as she rose to her feet. "We both need to try and get some sleep."

The two goddesses walked down the roof, then floated to the ground. They walked in silence to the caretaker's house where they all lived. Belldandy paused a moment just outside the door. She looked back up at the stars and stared a moment more, before following Skuld indoors.
