Chapter 1: To Despise Ironically


*At an airport's departure area (Tokyo, Japan)…

"Hey, Mayura!" a tall, handsome man with forest green eyes and hair the color of blond standing beside an escalator hollered.

"Shush, Loki! You don't have to shout!" was the pink haired girl's reply. She was now 7 years older than the Mayura we all knew before. Her hair had that same length, and her eyes were still brilliant as rubies. Only that she was taller and a lot more mesmeric. She was not the old clueless high school girl. In fact she was sharp enough to get herself through tight situations easily. She left Loki amazed at her huge improvement.

Loki suppressed a smile and said, "Tick-tock, tick-tock. 24 minutes before flight. Tick-tock, tick-tock. 23 minutes. Time check brought to you by Loki." He looked at her with much impatience, brow raised, and got her really bothered at him.

But Mayura didn't improve much when it comes to strength. She grabbed the handles of the bag with her aching hands, and forcefully tried to lift the stupid thing up. When the bag was about 4 inches high, she slung it away from her. It landed just a few centimeters beside Loki's feet, which made him jump out of shock.

"Whoa! That's close…" Loki let out a chuckle, his left arm akimbo.

"You should be glad I've missed." Mayura hissed while walking towards the laughing man. She then glared at him.

"Fine, I'll just wait for us to be late, then the plane would take off without us! Can you please hurry even just a little more?" He said annoyingly.

"It's better if you just keep your mouth shut." She replied with much gravity as she flushed with anger. "You should know how to respect humans even if you're one of the gods."

"Oh... I'm sorry." He looked down, regretting why he said such irritating words to her.

Mayura picked up the bag beside Loki, who's still in the midst of repentance. She grabbed the handles and managed to lift it. She just ignored him and went straight ahead. When about 5 meters away from him, suddenly, she fell out of balance.

"Mayura!" Loki rushed in to catch her and made it just in time. He held her in his arms, but with her anger still there, she stood up and proceeded with the pain of carrying the luggage.

Loki noticed that she's still mad at him (A/N: well, obviously...) and tried to make a situation in order to fix their problem.

"Would you like me to help you carry your bag? You seem a little tired." Loki said with a big grin on his face.

"I'm not tired, and I don't need your help! I can do this by my own." Mayura replied, thinking that the god of tricks and deception is still making fun of her weakness.

"Whaaat?" Loki asked playfully. "I'm just trying to help you with carrying the luggage…" He turned his smile into a frown, trying to convince the infuriated lady.

"So you think that looking like a homeless little puppy is going to make me forgive you? Not on your life, Loki." She took hold of the bag and started to walk away from him.

"O-kaaay, then. I must resort to Plan B." He pulled Mayura back by grabbing her hand and placed an arm over her shoulders.

"Hey! What in the world are you doing?!" She screamed as she tried to push Loki's arm away from her. She looked at him fiercely. But then, Loki showed her his most charming smile, a really good combo with his signature wink. (^_^)

Mayura felt her heart beating faster. Her cheeks turned red and later on she found herself smiling at the beautiful apparition. "Come on Mayura, snap out of it…" She thought.

With her trembling hands, she tried to shove him away. But Loki caught her hand before she could push his heavenly face aside and placed it on his chest. Mayura felt warmth, and some sort of a mild electric shock circled her body.

Loki smiled and locked his eyes at hers with sincerity. "I'm sorry, Mayura. Will you forgive me?"

"J-just don't do it again." She replied, her voice shaky. She wanted to take her eyes off him, but she can't. Mesmerized by his looks, she immediately tried to think about another matter to discuss and escape this awkward situation. Loki smiled once again, pleased by what's happening. She then thought, "I despise gods like him..."

Finally, some idea came to her rescue. "Loki, are you excited?" She tried to sound as if she wasn't affected by the fact that his arm was still around her shoulders.

"Are you talking about the reunion with our high school classmates?" He asked, just to make sure.

"Yup." Mayura said with a smile.

"Well, not really…" He frowned and finally took his hold off Mayura. For her, it was a relief, but immediately her feelings were replaced with anxiety.

"Why?" She asked him. "Is there something wrong?"

After a few seconds of silence, he finally replied. "It's nothing."

*Mayura and Loki are about to board a plane going to Kyoto. There, they'll be celebrating a small high school reunion with their former classmates.

**Loki's godliness is already known to Mayura (it's just not explained on how it came to be in this chapter, but in the chps...)

A/N: So, what do you think??? The real plot is still cloudy in this chapter but the next chps will make it clearer (I hope so... LOL). Thanks for reading!!! :D And don't forget to share your thoughts... Ü And... Note that the updates won't come fast.. I'm busy with school.. ^^
