I was quietly staring out of the window of my bedroom. I liked doing that because, well, the night is so mysterious. And I like mysteries a lot, you know. They make me forget about my problems and concentrate on other people's. No, I'm not depressive or anything! No,no,no!! I just... take a few things too seriously.

It might not seem like it, but when I decide to do (or get) something I'll try my best to reach my goal. But I won't rest until I'm done. And that's my problem. Eeek! I feel so bad when that happens! My mind won't let me think of anything but that. It's awful, believe me.

I thought that was a very tiny problem and that, indeed, I only cared that much for things with no big importance. But... YOU BAKA!! Why did you have to make me think of you like that way! BAKA! BAKA! BAKA!

I hated Loki. I hated him soooooo much that I was completely in love with him! Wait... did that make any sense? Anyway, he was driving me crazy! All the time I was thinking of him and how cute he looked when he was all chibi and how handsome he looked when he wasn't chibi.

Because you know, I understand now who Loki is. Yamino-san and Loki-kun explained everything to me one day, when Loki suddenly grew up. I was very surprised to see him that old.

"Who are you?" I asked when I saw the older Loki for the first time.

So they explained to me that Loki was cursed so he would constantly change from his real form to his chibi form. Oooh! Now everything made sense for me. And I was always thinking Loki was a God trapped in a child's body. Haha! Silly Mayura.

And everything started going wrong from that day on. I couldn't stop remembering of Loki. And it wasn't just his appearance that attracted me. No! His personality always made me happy. He was very serious, yet his sense of humor was always there. Waiting to make fun of something with a subtle sarcastic comment.

I was seriously in love with me, all of him. Even his fingers amused me. I mean, how could they be so cute? Mmmm... maybe I was just a little too obsessed with him.

And the next day was no exception. I went to school and when I was going home after it I stopped by Loki's house to see if there were any new cases. But I couldn't act out of normal. So I arrived as always.

I opened the door and shouted, as always. "LOKI-KUN!!!"

I ran to Loki's study and didn't even knock before going in.

"Konnichiwa!!" I said cheerfully.

As always, Loki was sitting in his arm chair by the window staring to something. Usually he would only stare at me or, if he was in a good mood, say 'hi'. But that day he smiled. Can you believe it? He actually smiled! Not his usual smile, no! He smiled like he was happy I was there. I slightly blushed.

"Konnichiwa, Mayura-chan." Loki said.

I threw my bag on the couch and then walked until I was in front of Loki's desk. I stared at him... he was still smiling. I thought for a second if I should ask but I was afraid of the answer.

"Loki, why are you smiling so much today?" I would ask.

"Oh, it's nothing." I would say, and continue smiling.

"No, really. Something good happened?" I would insist. Loki would have this really perverted face.

"It's just that... there's a hole in your skirt and one on your shirt... close to your BOOBIES!!!" then he would jump over me and I'd start yelling.

I shook my head quickly. Loki-kun would never do such a thing!

"Something wrong, Mayura?" he asked suddenly.

"N-Nothing." I answered. Back to my regular me... "Any new 'mysuterys' Loki-kun?"

"Thankfully.. no." he sighed. "I have other things in mind for today."

In my mind the 'Pervert Loki' grinned and said something about a wild night with me. Perhaps that was what I really wanted? NO!!! I-HAD-TO-STOP-READING-YAOI!!! They polluted my mind very much.

"Oh, so that explains why you've been smiling so much, Loki-kun." Maybe changing the meaning of the sentence would work and Loki wouldn't jump on me.

"So you've notice." Loki asked.

"Of course I did. You're not always like that." I picked up my bag quickly. "Papa wanted me home by 5 and it's almost 5:30, I have to go."

"Now, since when did you start to get home early? I thought you liked..." Loki cleared his throat and said in a high pitched voice. "Mysutery!!"

I laughed loud and opened the door. I shook my head and looked down to my feet. I turned quickly to Loki and smiled.

"You should always be in that mood. It suits you best! Makes you look cuter, you know?" I said, sticking out my tongue. "BYE BYE!"

I closed the door behind me and hurried home. Damn, how could Loki be so KAWAII?!?!

Loki's POV

Seeing Mayura cheered my day up a little. Even though my worries were all caused by her. Mayura... I would have never thought it was her... never. I always liked her very much, actually. But I never thought she could be the one.

It all happened a few days before, when a new book suddenly showed up in my bookshelf. I picked it up without really knowing what was waiting for me in there. Surprise, surprise! It was a sacred book, the characteristic that gave its name: Sacred Book.

In that book all the story of the Gods were told, until a moment that the pages were just blank. We, Gods, supposed the story was going to be written later on.

Gods weren't suppose to touch that book. Especially me. And why was it in my bookshelf? If Odin wanted to keep it safe somewhere he wouldn't send it to me. My good old (add some emphasis to old, please) friend Odin would pick me as the last person to keep the book.

Gods aren't suppose to read the book, that's why I opened the old sacred book and read it. From the beginning until the very end. And it wasn't a big surprise when I matched people I knew to the characters in the book. Their names were almost always the same, afterall.

But there was this one person I could exactly match. Mayura-chan, she wasn't anywhere. And everyone that crossed my path was in that book, even the people that sold me my new boots were in there. Why wasn't Mayura?

I searched for a character similar to her, but I was unsuccessful. I re-read it for days until I noticed a character without 'actor', Sygin. Sygin was the one who would become my wife and stay by my side at all times, even when the Gods were supposed to tie me up to a rock and let a insect drip poison on me. She was the one who was going to hold a bowl to protect me from the poison.

Could that be Mayura?

I thought it wasn't possible. So I decided to keep my eyes open for anything suspicious and wait.

But as I waited I started to notice Mayura. If she was the one I would love forever then... why didn't I notice her before how beautiful she was? I knew she had good looks, but not that much. She was simply stunning.

As my feelings grew my insecurities grew proportionally. Even if she was my future wife, why would she marry me? She saw me as a kid, and even if I explained everything correctly she wouldn't believe me. And if Mayura did believe, how would that help? I was trapped in a child's body for what... a couple of thousands years?

Sadly all I could was wait, wait, wait... and then I would wait a little bit more.

Mayura's POV

The days passed a little bit more and one sunny Sunday we decided to go eat some ice cream. I don't know if it was coincidence or something, but everyone refused. Only Loki and I went. That could be called a mini-date if Loki didn't look like a 9 year old and I a 16 year old. People would call me pedophile if we did anything more than walk and eat ice cream.

When we got to the 'Ice Cream World' Loki and I went to order. Loki wasn't as cheerful as that other day. He was very quiet.

"I want a strawberry one." I said, looking down at Loki-kun. "And you?"

"Chocolate." he said monotonely.

We sat on a table, eating slowly. Loki-kun wasn't saying anything and would hardly look at me. I tried to analyze his expression and all I could understand was that he was thinking of something. His eyes weren't moving, he wasn't staring at anything but he thinking a lot.

We left after finishing our ice creams. Loki walked a little bit ahead of me. I wished I knew what was going on inside his mind. And I was almost asking him. But when he crossed the street without looking and almost got hit by a car, thrown in the river and bitten by a big fish, I decided it was time to ask.

"Loki-kun, what's wrong?" I asked calmly.

"Nothing."

"Something is wrong! You're very quiet!!" I said that in a little higher tone, and he finally looked at me.

"I said it's nothing." Loki insisted.

"Don't say it's nothing because I know it's something!!" I shouted and abruptly stopped walking.

"If I say it's nothing you have to believe me." he said coldly.

"Don't lie to me!!"

"Ok, I'm lying! But it's none of your business." I took a deep breath, holding the tears. But they were too strong and were already rolling down my face.

"Why are you being so cold!!!??" I shouted and a woman that was passing by stared for a moment and decided to keep walking, thinking that I looked dangerous.

"Mayura-chan..." his eyes widened and he just stared at me.

"Why are you so cold sometimes, Loki-kun? Can't you see I care for you? That's what..." I made a quick pause. "That's what friends are for. To help out each other!"

Friends. Yes, friends. Hmph... friends. Oh, God... why do I have to like him so much? If I didn't, I'd just kick his tiny butt and move on. But nooooo... I happen to like him too much!

Loki just sighed and looked down to his feet.

"I'm sorry. Making you cry wasn't my intention. But I don't want you to worry, that's why I can't tell about my problem." he explained.

"Please, Loki-kun... If I have to worry just to help you, I will. Really. I don't mind." I said, smiling. I tried to dry my tears with the sleeve of my shirt, but Loki handed me a handkerchief. I accepted, flushing a little. He's cute and has manners. Too good to be true!

"If I tell a part of it, would you be happy?" Loki asked.

"No."

"But are you ready for a lot of weird things?" he insisted, hesitant.

"Sure I am!"

We sat on a bench close to a park. Loki sat so close to me I couldn't help but blush. He took a deep breath.

"I'm a God trapped in child's body. You might say it's weird but-"

"I KNEW IT!! I KNEW IT!!" I jumped up and continued jumping and speaking. "SO MY GUESS WAS RIGHT! YOU ARE A GOD TRAPPED IN A CHILD'S BODY!!!"

Loki sweatdropped as some people stared at us.

"What you mean 'You knew it'?"

"Well, I dreamed about that once. We were all in a very beautiful castle and I sitting with your older-self and you told me all about it. You were a trickster God or something. But I thought it was just a dream." I explained, sticking out my tongue.

"Oh, my... so y-you really are Sygin..." Loki stuttered, his eyes widened with shock.

"Who?" I asked, turning my head slightly to the right, letting it almost touch my shoulder.

"It's all in the book... you're Sygin, my future wife." he said more secure that time. His expression was a happy one, and I had no idea why.

"Ah, yes. I'm Sygin, you're future wife." I said, laughing for a second. Then I stopped. Sygin? Loki's wife... "I AM YOUR WHAT?!?!"

Author's Notes

One more Matantei Loki Ragnarok fic by me! ^^ Finally a more serious one!

This one is a little bit different from my last one as you can see. XP This one is going to be a little bit longer (about 3 or 4 chapters). The idea for this story came when I was searching about the Norse mythology and found out more about Loki. I had no idea how much of an important character he was! Really, I didn't know!

And since I'm loyal Mayura/Loki fan (not really... *waves a tiny Heimdall/Loki flag*) I decided to use my newly acquired inspiration and write a Mayura/Loki fic!!! ^_^ YAY!!!

This is a complete AU. I made up a few parts of the mythology to fit the story. Actually, I just added the sacred book thing. Why? Because I like sacred books... and because Loki had to find out somehow about a future wife. XD muahahahaha! I'm so evil I even change mythology! Well, Kinoshita Sakura also changed a few things herself. Why couldn't I? -.-; - I'm feeling guilty, that's why I'm making up excuses.

And sorry for spelling/grammar mistakes. It's almost midnight and I don't feel well. -.- Must...sleep...

Now... review! Onegai? I need to know what you think, so I can write more or just quit. XP
