Ah Ataru's Goddess

Unending BE - episode 873127

The words “I hate you!” were followed by a slap that left his ears ringing and his body spinning in the air. By the time Ataru had his bearings back, he saw his girlfriend - rather, ex-girlfriend - running away and leaving him standing on the bridge unable to do anything but call her name. He could pursue, he could catch up, but then she’d just slap him even harder and then he certainly wouldn’t be able to keep up.

Given the choice he’d much rather watch her run away in those tight, tight shorts. He’d talk to her later when she was calmed down a bit, but for now why not appreciate the view? Shinobu may be difficult sometimes, but that body made up for it. Oh, did it ever make up for it! But soon enough that butt was out of sight and Ataru rested upon the side of the bridge in contemplation.

“Why’d she have to do that?” he wondered aloud before unknowingly answering his own question. “I only looked at that other girl for a second.” Yep. Only looked for a second. Right down her blouse as she tied her shoes, making an instant mental snapshot of her rather wonderful cleavage for later. All while wearing a goofy perverted grin that broadcast what he was doing so loudly that it actually interfered with local television and radio signals.

Lack of self awareness, thy name is Ataru Moroboshi.

His musings were interrupted by a loud and desperate cry that immediately seized his attention. “Wait! Wait!” the voice yelled, “Don’t do it!”

Ataru turned his head and saw a rather ugly little old man wearing a straw hat upon his head barrelling towards him at top speed and then suddenly the next thing he was seeing was the bridge above him as he fell into the cold, cold waters below.

The old man mumbled something that Ataru did not hear nor cared to. “What did you do that for?!” he yelled up, then thought better of it. He had greater priorities at the moment than yelling at some stupid old man. Like, getting out of the water before he caught a cold or drowned. This was easy enough to manage because Ataru was much more nimble than he first appeared. Before long he was ringing his sodden clothes by the riverside, as the old man blathered on.

“Come on, don’t tell me you weren’t going to jump!”

“You really think I’m going to kill myself because a girl left me?” though he had to admit to himself, he was entertaining thoughts on just how to kill this old man without getting caught.

“But I saw something strange in your aura!” the old man insisted. “It compelled me to run towards you, and -”

“Knock me off the bridge,” Ataru finished. Enough of this. He’d had a bad enough day already without some crazy old man nattering on about auras and other assorted bullshit. His shirt was dry enough. Time to go home and figure out some way to talk Shinobu round

“Wait, don’t leave yet! It’s still there, in your aura! A most bizarre fate awaits you if you go that way!”

Enough was enough. Ataru bent down to get face to face with the little gnome, and yelled “That way is home!”

That shut the little freak up. Whatever. Ataru didn’t believe in auras or anything like that. Evil spirits, aliens, demons, those were all the stuff of legends only believed by children and weak willed adults that had too poor an imagination to realise how wonderfully horrible life already was without believing in the supernatural. He had to stay in the real world if he wanted to figure out his problems, and he had absolutely no intention of letting some stupid old man dictate what he could or could not do.

Behind him, Cherry simply stared after him. “Such a fate,” he mumbled. “His fortunes are about to change, but in ways I cannot tell.” And so he resolved to follow this strange young man that jumped off bridges with the merest tap. In some way he knew that this was something he had to see with his own two eyes...

Dear Ataru
Your father and I will be out for a few hours tonight. There are leftovers in the fridge.
~Mom

Well, that’s also just what he needed right now. Heated up leftovers. It didn’t take him long to heat up, and it took less time for him to slurp the stuff down. Ugh! He was still hungry, dammit! Well, he’d be as well trying to salvage something out of this crappy day. Let’s see, where did he keep Shinobu’s phone number again? It had to be around here somewhere. This had to be enough time for her to calm down, right? Hope springs eternal, and all that.

Ah-ha! There it was! He slumped against the wall, hoping against hope that she’d pick up and listen to him. But in the meantime, he had to figure out exactly what he was going to -

“Hello?”

-say. Well, so much for that. Time to get to begging, and maybe she’ll -

“You’ve reached the Goddess Technical Helpline!”

Oh, shit! He’d called the wrong number! Ataru started laughing helplessly. Couldn’t even this much go right? It was almost comical at this point. At this rate he’d wake up tomorrow with a cold, and -

“We will be there in just a moment to grant your access request,” the voice at the other end said, and then the line went dead. Ataru stared at the phone in confusion. What on earth was that? A goddess technical help line? Must be for some weird product or other that he’s never -

“Good evening! What is your desire?” asked the pretty girl leaning out of his mirror right above his head and oh god those leftovers must have been off and I’m dying and this is the hallucination my mind is using to distract me while it shuts down oh shit I shouldn’t have realised that because now I’ll become aware of the crippling pain my body is in and - “Forgive me for not introducing myself,” the hallucination said as she dusted herself down. “I am the Goddess Belldandy.”

Ataru sat in silence as Belldandy explained herself. Apparently she was here to grant him one single wish, but right now his thoughts were centred elsewhere. For a hallucination, this girl was hot hot HOT! What immediately draws attention at first were the markings on her face. One vertical line on her forehead, and a smaller mark under each eye. More to his interest were the clothes she was wearing. It was some sort of shoulderless dress that managed to hide most of her figure yet made her all the more alluring for it. Ataru could almost believe that this was a goddess would really look like. So serene, yet so sexy! So innocent and pure and yet so supernaturally desirable!

“Hello, my name is Ataru! Welcome to my home, can I get you anything? A cup of tea, maybe you’d like to sit down, ah! Maybe you’d like to get a nice massage!”

Belldandy giggled. “No thank you,” she said. “I am not here to be your guest or ask anything from you. Rather, you may wish for anything at all and I shall grant it for you,” Belldandy finished. “If you wanted to be a billionaire, we can take care of it. We would even end the world if you asked, but we tend to avoid that sort of customer for obvious reasons. But remember, you only get one wish.”

Any wish he wanted? Well, that’s a pretty good dream to go with if nothing else! Especially with a hottie like this. Oh yes, Ataru could easily imagine it now. One wish later, her reclining on a bed clad in any of a dozen wonderful lingerie designs. Though she is silent, her eyes say come hither, and then - Or perhaps they could be at a beach, where they can play and frolic in the sand. But then she asks him, could you rub some lotion on my back, and then I’ll do the same for you? Ah! But they both get a little friskier than they originally intended, which said quite a lot given where they started from. And then -

“Um, I’m sorry to interrupt, but you did notice earlier that I could read your thoughts. I apologise for the intrusion. Would you prefer me to stop reading your mind?” Oh, but that was just too adorable, she was blushing, and staring pointedly at the ground. “This is most unusual. However did someone so lustful get granted an opportunity for a wish?" she pondered for a moment. Honestly, it was a question Ataru was wondering about as well... But more to the point, he was starting to speculate on just what her sizes were. "Ah! please sir, this decision would go much easier for you if you weren't staring at my breasts like that.”

“Oh, I think you’re wrong there miss Belldandy! I know exactly what I want to wish for!” Ataru's face split open with a lecherous grin. He couldn't imagine wishing for anything else. “I wish -”
