Heyo all!  I know I said I'd be gone, but I wanted to post one
last fic before I left.
	Read and enjoy!  C&C appreciated.  Thanks to Nick Casler/Betrayal
for the idea.

Kami...you bastard
By Myrriden
-------------------


	"Whazzat?  Where the hell am I now?"  Pale blue eyes stared at the
golden gates before him sitting atop the pale white fluff.  A man with a
huge book was sitting a little ways away, listening to a young beautiful
girl with a Kasumi-ish air.
	"Try the opposite, young man."  The man, a tall, lean, emancipated
skeleton, chuckled.  "This is Heaven."
	*Piku*
		*Piku*

	"n...n...Nani!?"
	"That's right.  You're dead."
	Ryouga reared back, even more shocked.  "How!?"
	The woman answered in a soft voice, "You were in Arizona.  You
were run over by a semi."
	"It's happened before!  It didn't kill me then!"
	"You were a pig."
	"Oh..."  Ryouga grimaced, "Shit.  There goes revenge."
	The woman smiled, "My name is Belldandy.  This is my friend,
Paul."  She pointed at the skeleton.  "Would you like to come in?"
	"Why not?"  Ryouga sighed, somehow resigned to his fate.    
************************
	Ryouga walked through the pristine, wonderful cloud sculptures,
over the golden road (thoughts of Baum ringing in his head) and through
the multiple buildings.  All the people he saw were instensly happy,
walking about with haloes and serene smiles.
	Ryouga wasn't.  Ryouga was bored.

	With a sigh, he flopped down on a hard wooden bench overlooking a
wine-sea.  
	"Hello, enjoying the view?"
	"Oh yeah,"  Ryouga sighed.  He looked up into the face of an old
man.  Not a skeleton like the one by the gate, but sort of a grandfather
type of person.  "I'm Ryouga,"  He smiled as the man sat.
	"Kami,"  The man replied.
	Ryouga blinked, "As in Kami-Sama?"
	"That's the one," Kami smiled.
	"As in the God?"
	"Yup."
	"Okay.  Kami, one question?"
	"Shoot."
	"Why the bad sense of direction?"
	Kami stroked his beard thoughtfully, "Well, m'boy..."
	"Don't call me that,"
	"Sorry.  Well, amongst powerful ki generation, great strength,
incredible learning ability, a good sense of nature, and beautiful
artistic sense, something had to go."
	Ryouga seemed to think about this for a few seconds.  Suddenly he
spoke, "Kami...you're a bastard."
	"I know...ain't it cool?"
