It had been a day since the monk had left. Tamiya and Otaki had brought over all of Keiichi's stuff. Keiichi was looking over his Beemer and doublecheckiing the repairs to the sidecar that Otaki did. Sure, Keiichi trusted Otaki's handiwork, but the Beemer was something personal to Keiichi.

Keiichi stopped when he heard a knock. He got up and turned around. At the entrance to the garage, (which was still a shed), was a woman with long black hair and dressed in a business suit that had a short skirt that showed off her legs.

"Hello, I'm Ms. Smith, I'm with the government. Are you the one that own the place?" The woman asked.

"A friend and I are just living here and looking over the place until the monk that lives here returns," Keiichi answered.

Ms. Smith thought about it for a few seconds before she shrugged and said, "Good enough. As for what I'm here for..."

-oOo-

Belldandy was in the middle of making lunch for herself and Keiichi when she heard Keiichi call out, "Bell, can you make enough for four people?"

"Alright!" Beldlandy called back. A smile came to here. She always did like a challenge and it had been a time since her cooking abilities had been challenged.

As she cooked more food. she listened in to Keiichi and the two guests as they entered the living room.

'Let's see... There's Keiichi's footsteps... Footsteps belonging to guest... and... and... a large snake? That doesn't make sense...' Belldandy thought with a frown.

It didn't take long before she was done with lunch. So she put it all on a large tray and brought it to the dining room.

She was surprised to see Keiichi speaking with a black-haired woman and a red-haired lamia. The Lamia was wearing a white jacket and a red dress that looked cute on her. Looking down, Belldandy saw that there were several books were on the table. One of the books seemed to have information about something called 'the cultural exchange between species bill'.

"Ah you must be Belldandy! I'm Ms Smith and this is Miia." The woman said, gesturing to the Lamia. Before anyone could say anything, Ms. Smith's cellphone rang. She picked it up. "Smith here."

"..."

"Yeah, I'll be there in a few." She said before hanging up and putting away her phone. She looked at Keiichi as she grabbed some of the food and said, "I'll check back in a day or two. Remember to read the books I've given you, Morisato."

"Will do," Keiichi said, before Ms. Smith left. He looked over at Belldandy and said, " I guess you didn't need to make four... Sorry..."

"It's alright," Belldandy said ,as she placed the food on the table. 'Whoever Ms. Smith was, she seemed either overworked or dislikes work...'

"Miia is going to live here because I've agreed to be her host and also..." Keiichi said, trailing off when he noticed that Miia was slightly shivering. "Ah! Let me go get you a few blankets."

"No, it's alright, you don't have..." Miia said before Keiichi left the room to go find some blankets among some of the packed boxes in one of the storage rooms. She quietly said to herself, "Wow... he's nicer than he looks..."

"Yes, he is. I'm glad I've met him," Belldandy said, surprising Miia.

"You've got some good ears... " Miia muttered. She then looked around. "This is a nice place. Keiichi said something about looking after it because a monk left to go on a journey?

Belldandy nodded. "That is true."

"So you and Keiichi... Are you two dating?" Miia asked. There was a bit of resignation in her voice, as if she expected a certain answer.

"Uhm, no. We're not dating, he just wanted me by his side," Belldandy answered with a slight shrug. The feeling that she just done something wrong started to go through Belldandy when Miia started to get a cat-like smile on her face.

"That's very interesting..." Miia said, nodding to herself as her smile grew bigger and bigger. Keiichi walked in at the moment.

"I found the blankets..." Keiichi said as he headed towards Miia with some blankets in his arms. He stopped when Belldandy quickly stood up.

Belldandy watched as Keiichi put the blankets on Miia's tail. The norn's jaw tightened as she watched the Lamia shake her hips a bit when he was right behind her, briefly drawing his attention to her bum.

"I-If you need anything, just ask me or Belldandy..." Keiichi said, blushing a bit.

"So, Keiichi... Could you tell me a bit about the city here?" Miia asked.

"Well, everyone is pretty friendly. Belldandy and I go to Nekomi Tech..." Keicihi said. After looking shocked for a moment, he grimaced a bit before saying, "Ah, that's something to bring up with Ms. Smith about."

"What?" Miia asked, tilting her head a bit in curiosity.

"About if you should be enrolled in Nekomi, Miia..." Keiichi muttered. 'And Belldandy as well...'

"About that..." Miaa said as she reached down and picked up her purse. She took out a few things and placed them on the table. "Ms. Smith enrolled me there before she brought me here."

Belldandy clasped her hands together as she said, "Ah, that was nice of her!"

Miia nodded, smiling a little bit. Belldandy reached over to the pile of the books, picked one up, and began reading it.

"So what brings you here?" Keiichi asked.

"Well, after hearing about the cultural exchange program, I decided that'd it'd be kinda fun and interesting to enroll in it," Miia explained. " My mom was a bit worried about it, but she's kinda clingy."

Belldandy tried to pay attention, but was too engrossed in the book at the moment.

'So among the things that are banned between humans and the monster species are fights and sexual relations. The monster species have to stay with their hosts when they go out...' Belldandy thought. She paused and rubbed her chin a little bit. 'Do... Do goddesses count as a monster species in the eyes of the humans on this Earth? Does it mean that I have to follow the rules in this book?'

Another thought hit Belldandy.

'The restrictions on Keiichi... they're kind of like the rules with the exchange program, But there's a big difference. I know about the rules in this book and will choose to follow them, just to be on the safe side...' Belldandy thought, as guilt hit her in the heart like a dagger. 'I can't quite say the same about Keiichi...'

Looking over at a picture that had a human warrior that seemed like he was from Dragon Quest standing over a beaten Lamia with an X over the picture, The norn thought, 'It's kind of funny, most of the other gods and goddesses speak of being equal with other races, but when time comes to show it, they instead act like everyone but gods and demons are foolish children in need of guidance... It never really hit me until now...'

Looking at Miia and Keiichi, Belldandy saw that Keiichi had apparently told something amusing, going by how he looked a bit sheepish and was rubbing the back of his head, while Miia was laughing a little. The Norn's fingers curled a bit tighter around the edges of the book.

"Yeah, so my dad decided that because that prank, I should put my time and energy into taking care of a beemer. I still have it to this day..." Keiichi said.

'It looks like I missed something important...' Belldandy thought as she put the book down.

"Keiichi, is it possible for me to join you on your beemer the next time you ride it?" Miia asked.

After glancing a little bit at her covered tail, Keiichi frowned a little. "I'm sorry, but I don't think it'd be safe."

"Oh..." Miia quietly muttered, looking at hr tail with a sad look.

Belldandy felt a bit conflicted at that moment. One part of her wanted to console Miia. The other part was cheerfully hissing, "Yes!"

"But I'll look into getting a car. Otaki and Tamiya would be a big help there," Keiichi said, hoping to lighten the mood a bit. When Miia smiled, he smiled as well. "I just gotta make sure they don't decide to see the car as their baby..."

Miia tilted her head in curiosity.

"Otaki and Tamiya are my Sempais in the Auto club. They are also big gearheads, to the point where if we were in some horror movie, there would be no worry about the cars breaking down," Keiichi explained.

Miia nodded as she said, "Ah, I think I understand! Speaking of movies, is it possible that we could go see one when we go out, either today or tomorrow?"

"Sure, we'll all go," Keiichi replied as he looked at Belldandy. "We just have to decide if today or tomorrow would be a good day to go about town."

"Yes, Shall we check the newspaper or call?" Belldandy asked.

Keiichi thought about it for a moment before answering, "Let's have it be a surprise, Bell."

Belldandy nodded as she thought, 'For some reason, I'm getting the slight urge to stay between Keiichi and Miia when we go to the movie theater.'

"Sooo... Today or tomorrow?" Miia asked.

"Tomorrow. I still have some stuff to unpack and we probably have to get your room ready," Keiichi answered.

Seeing a bit of an Urd-like lewdful gleam in Miia's eyes, Belldandy quickly said, "I'll help Miia get her room ready. She might have a few thigns that she doesn't want you to see, Keiichi."

"Oh, okay, Bell. Thanks, I guess..." Keiichi said as he went back to eating.

Miia looked like she just sucked on something sour as she said, "Yeah... Thanks..."

Miia wanted to say that she didn't mind if Keiichi looked though her things, but a part of her told her that restraint would help her against Belldandy in winning Keiichi's heart.

-oOo-

After Lunch was eaten, Keiichi and Belldandy helped Miia bring her things into one of the empty rooms.

"Well, is that all?" Keiichi asked, as he placed the last bag in Miia's new room.

Miia opened her mouth to answer, but Belldandy beat her to answering,"Yes, I think it is."

"Miia?" Keiichi asked.

"Yeah, We got all the bags hat I brought," Miia said with a cheerful smile that she hoped would catch Keiichi's heart.

"Ah good. I'm off to unpack," Keiichi said before he left the room.

Once the two women were alone, Miia looked at Belldandy and asked, "So why don't you have anything to unpack?"

Belldandy laughed a little. "I wasn't expecting to stay for a long time, so I guess I'm still waiting for some of them to come here."

Miia frowned as she took a deep breath. As she started to unpack her shirts, she said, "Well, if you need to, I guess I can let you borrow some of my clothes until your things come. But what do you mean, you weren't expecting to stay for a long time?"

"Keiichi wanted me to be by his side, so I will until he doesn't want me to," Belldandy said, as she began to unpack a bag containing Miia's skirts.

Miia's face slightly scrunched in confusion as she thought about Belldandy's words.

"Something about that either doesn't make sense or I'm missing something..." Miia muttered to herself as she was putting her shirts into a dresser. A thought occurred to her as she slowly turned to face Belldandy. The Lamia studied the norn every so often when she had the chance, looking for anything that seemed out of the ordinary. Other than the blue marks on Belldandy's face, Miia wasn't able to find anything during the time the two were putting away Miia's things.

"Well, I think that's all... Do you need anymore help?" Belldandy asked.

Miia looked around her room before she said, "No, we got everything."

"Alright," Belldandy replied before she headed to the door. She paused and asked, "I probably should have asked this before lunch, but are you allergic to any kind of foods or have a preference for anything?"

Miia thought for a few seconds before she answered with, "I like meat and fish, but don't care much for vegetables."

Belldandy nodded, "Alright, I'll keep that in mind when I make dinner."

"Thanks, Belldandy," Miia said before Belldandy nodded and left.

After looking around her room to check if Belldandy misplaced anything, Miia decided to look around the temple to pass the time. When she passed by Keiichi's room, she saw that he was still unpacking his stuff, but was also sorting them while grumbling. She also noticed that Belldandy wasn't in sight.

"Keiichi, Belldandy and I finished unpacking my stuff. So do you need any help?" Miia asked, hoping he'd say yes.

He waved no at her as he said, "No, I got it. Besides, Tamiya and Otaki misplaced a lot of my stuff when they packed it. But if you want, I set the TV up in the living room if you want to watch anything."

Miia frowned a little bit.

"Oh, okay. Well, I'm going to look around. If you change your mind, let me know!" Miia said with a smile, winking a little when Keiichi glanced at her.

"If I do, I'll let either you or Bell know," Keiichi said before going back to unpacking and sorting his things.

Miia's smile got a bit fake as she realized that Belldandy had come by and asked if Keiichi needed any help.

'Ah well... She got refused, just as I did...' Miia thought as she wandered outside. Once outside, she enjoyed the heat from the sun. 'I needed this. It's a touch too cold inside...'

When she neared the little forest, Miia thought she heard someone... singing?

'Whoever it is, they're pretty good...' Miia thought as she quietly snuck towards the location of the person singing.

In a small grove, Miia found Belldandy was singing to a group of animals.

But what shocked Miia was that there was a semi-transparent angel that was coming out of Belldandy's back.

The small gasp of surprise from Miia made Belldandy stop singing and look at Miia.

"You're not human. What are you?" Miia asked as a part of her debated about going back to protect Keiichi from Belldandy.
