Live on and smile,

for its better to forget than to remember me and cry

The park was empty and no one was there to bother the two people sitting on a bench. It looked like they were having a lovers spat but that wasn't really the situation they were in. The pink-haired girl gave out a long sigh causing the man sitting beside her to look at her with emerald eyes that held something that she couldn't place on. She looked down, knowing that she was going to lose someone precious to her.

Again.

"It's just that I don't know anywhere else to look for him other than the mansion…" she said thoughtfully. There wasn't anyplace that she knew where Loki usually spends his time other than his office back in the mansion. For the times she's spent him, there wasn't a lot of things she knew about him.

"Right…" Loki responded, acting out as a friend of the chibi detective. He stared at the ruby hairpin in his hand.

"Excuse me?" Mayura's voice snapped him out of his thoughts and he turned to look at her.

"What is it?"

"I was just wondering how it is that you know Loki," she asked. "Are you a relative of his?"

"No, I'm more of a friend, you could say." Loki answered.

Mayura looked down on the ground, her smile vanished completely. "A friend…so am I."

Loki stared at her for a moment. Silence fell between them when he turned to look at the hairpin again. He had to give it to her.

"Well anyway," Mayura stood up from the bench. She was going to try and find Loki; she just lost a lot of time in her search when she talked to the man beside her. "I'd better get back to my search. I don't know what I'm doing but it never stopped me before."

"Yeah…" he replied.

"Well if you'll excuse me, nice meeting you…"

"Hey wait a minute," she was interrupted from walking away from him as she turned her body to face him.

"Yeah?"

He stood, debating whether he should give it to her or not. "I was thinking, perhaps I would be of use to you, because you seem rather tired." He offered, staring at her intently.

Mayura was shocked for a moment with his sudden offer, but she couldn't help but give him a smile. Loki felt his heart ache when he saw her expression.

"I really appreciate your offer but you don't have to go through all that trouble." With that she walked away, only to be stopped by her companion a second time.

"Hey…"

"I happen to be a god," Loki stated smugly when she turned her attention only to him. "And what's more, I came solely to earth to grant you one wish." He approached her, reaching out his hand to show her a lovely hairpin. Mayura couldn't help but giggle. Her companion just proclaimed to her that he was a god.

"That's what something what Loki would say." Her tone suddenly became cheerful. "It's true that I believe in mysteries, the occult and the paranormal but I draw the line in believing in God."

Mayura told him about her mother and how she prayed to god to make her better. But he didn't listen. Loki sighed.

"But would you at least give it a try?" He urged her to take the hairpin. She reluctantly took the lovely accessory from his hands and stared at it. "Put it on your hair," Loki instructed and she did what she was told.

"Now, make your wish…"

"I wish to see Loki."

And in an instance, there were flashes of memories about Loki, Yamino, Fenrir and the others in her mind. It disappeared quickly as it did when it appeared.

Loki watched as Mayura's eye went blank after she made her wish. Slowly she fell and Loki's strong arms caught her and he gently held her body close to his as if she was a fragile glass.

"I'll grant you your wish Mayura," the God of mischief spoke barely above a whisper as a blue light engulfed him and he returned to his child form. "But only for a little while."

Loki brushed away the strands of her pink hair away from her angelic face. She was so much at peace whenever he saw her sleep. Gently, he brushed her lips against hers. Mayura tasted sweet and he licked his lips, savoring the sweet taste of her lips.

Goodbye Mayura…

Mayura blinked her eyes awake. She looked around her surroundings. She was in her room, in her pajamas and on top of her bed.

"Hmm… I had the strangest dream." She scratched the back of her head and got off her bed.

The sunlight was shining brightly from her sheer curtains. She noticed a picture of her on top of her desk. What puzzled her was that there were lots of space in the picture and she was the only person there. It looked like there were people beside her but she shook off that feeling. It was impossible for the people in the picture to disappear. But the feeling she couldn't explain was like a…

"Fushigi Mystery…" Mayura whispered.

"Mayura, breakfast is ready!" Misao's voice screamed from outside her room.

"Ah! Coming papa!" Mayura replied back, shrugging off her previous thoughts.

Yeah… I started to make this story since it wouldn't stop running around my mind, telling me to write a story like this.

I just recently finished watching the anime 'Mysterious Detective Loki' and I immediately fell in love with it (kyaa! Master Loki!). I'm currently still reading the manga chapters of Matantei Loki and I'm really enjoying it. The manga and anime is different but still good. ^_^

Please review! :3
