Note: I've decided to take mythology into my own hands. I know that these goddesses do not exist but they do in my mind! Mwahahahaha! …Well, yea…

Disclaimer: Matantei loki belongs to Sakura Kinoshita, but I do own Suzume and Mita.


"Perhaps He could help me… it's not like I have much of a choice." A young girl appearing to be about ten years old wandered the desolate streets. She had red hair that faded to orange at the ends and reached slightly below her shoulder blades. She wore a black skirt over a pair of black shorts and wore a white, lacy halter-top.

Her hazel eyes searched her surroundings until they fell upon a simple plaque next to a set of gates.

"Enjaku Detective Agency. This must be it." She stepped through the gates and approached the door to the large estate. She waited patiently after ringing the bell until she finally heard movement inside.

"Hello!" came the voice of the man who had opened the door. He had glasses and green hair that was back in a ponytail and he appeared to be a butler.

"Would one by the name of Loki live here?"

"May I ask what your business is?"

"Well, I suppose you could call me a customer."

The man eyed her suspiciously but stepped aside. "Please come in, miss."

The girl bowed slightly as she entered. "This place is quite lovely." She paused as she noticed a picture on the wall and her eyes began to sparkly. "So beautiful! May I ask where you got this piece?"

"I'm not sure, I believe it was a gift for Master Loki."

"It couldn't be…" Her eyes shot back to the painting and she looked at the signature. "Suzume…"

"Excuse me?"

"Ah, it's nothing." She glanced at the painting again and continued to follow the man until they reached a door.

He knocked and a voice replied, "Come in."

The man entered and the girl followed silently. "It's a customer, Master Loki."

"Thank you Yamino." Replied the voice. The girl looked up at him: short brownish hair and green eyes. He may have looked like a child but it was definitely the trickster god Loki.

Yamino left the two alone and the girl walked farther into the room. "Hello Loki, my name is Mita. I doubt you know me but I do believe that you know my sister."

"I suppose we are being blunt here. Well then, were you sent here by Odin?"

"I have no intent of becoming one of his pawns. I'm here for my sister."

"Your sister is… Suzume, correct?"

Mita merely nodded.

"What about her?"

"She has disappeared." Mita looked down, her eyes filling with sadness. "I haven't been able to find her anywhere."

"Don't worry, I'll help you find her." Loki looked into her eyes and smiled slightly.

"Thanks." She turned around, ready to leave, but then paused.

"By any chance, do you need a place to stay?"

Mita laughed slightly. "P…perhaps."

Loki stood up and walked in front of the desk. "Follow me, we have a guest room you may use."

"Thank you, but May I ask why you are trusting me so easily?"

"You're Suzume's sister. She often talked about how sweet and caring her younger sister was."

Mita laughed. "That's just her doting upon her younger sister, much of it is probably exaggerated."

Loki peered back at her. "Do you want me to not trust you?"

"No, I'm just saying you shouldn't be so quick to believe what you hear."

"I know how to make decisions." Replied Loki with a slightly annoyed tone. "Here we are." He stopped at a door and opened it.

Mita stepped inside. "It's very lovely, thank you."

"It's no problem." Loki turned around and left, closing the door behind him.

Loki went back to his office and sat down, gazing out the window.

A knock sounded and Yamino came in. "I brought you some tea Master Loki."

"Thank you Yamino."

"Who was that girl?"

"Her name is Mita, she is Suzume's younger sister. Apparently, Suzume has gone missing."

"Well that must be why she was so interested in that painting in the hallway."

Loki set down his teacup and smirked. "Well of course she has a strong appreciation for art, she is one of the goddesses of it."

"I thought that that's what Suzume was?"

"Both of them are. I believe it might be because of the fact that they are twins, so their fates got tangled within each other's." Loki pondered for a moment. "I already know that Suzume is the goddess of paintings, sculptures, and literature but what does that leave?"

"Music and dance." Replied Mita who had just entered. "Sorry for eavesdropping and barging in."

"Well, it is quite rude. I suppose I can forgive you." Loki smirked as he picked up his cup.

Ding dong

"I'll get it." Yamino turned around and left the room.

Mita peered around the room and noticed a small black puppy asleep in the corner with a small pink creature that had long ears and lacked limbs. "Who are they?"

"The dog is Fenrir and the other is Ecchan."

"Do you mean Fenrir as in your son? Where is your other son, and what about your daughter?"

"Well, my other son is also here, he's just in a human form." Loki paused.

"Wait, does that mean Yamino is your son?"

"Yes."

"Well, you sure don't act like it. And what about your daughter, wasn't her name something like Hel?"

"Yes, but she's gone. It's a long story, perhaps I could tell you another time."

"Mystery!" came a new voice from the doorway.

"Oh, great, she's here. Mita, this is Mayura."

Mita held out her hand politely. "It's nice to me…"

"What's the case? Hauntings? Abductions? A mysterious disappearance!" Mayura poked in over excitedly.

"The last one actually. My older sister can't be found."

"And Loki took the case on his own? Perhaps he's gone soft."

"Her sister is an old friend of mine so it's a personal case." Replied Loki calmly.

Mita smirked. "That doesn't explain why you invited me to live in your home when you had only known me for five minutes. So you must be either too soft or too trusting."

"…" Loki closed his eyes while thinking.

"No good comeback, eh?" Mita giggled slightly.

"Anyways, do you have any information on where and what Suzume was doing before she disappeared?"

"Last I saw her, we were in Asgard at our home. She left one day, said she had something that she had to check on."

"Anything else?"

"Actually, I think it had something to do with Odin… Something about 'preventing Ragnarok', I'm not sure…"

"Huh? What are you talking about? Asgard, Ragnarok? I'm so lost!" Mayura whined.

Loki and Mita looked at each other frantically. Loki had forgotten she was there and Mita had realized that Mayura didn't know their secret.

Mita turned towards her. "Well, they are all codenames just to help secrecy! Yea, that's it."

"Wow, codenames! How awesome! What a Mysterious Mystery!"

The two sighed as Mayura went off. Then they looked back at each other, speaking so that she couldn't hear them.

"What will our next move be?" Mita asked, concern falling back into her voice.

Loki placed his hand on his chin. "Well, we could try to gather information, ask anyone who might know what happened when she spoke with Odin."

"Hmmm…Hey! Do you think the Norns would know anything?"

"Perhaps, we could always go and visit them.'

Mita nodded and then took notice of the black dog that had just jumped onto the desk.

"Daddy, who is this girl?" It asked while curiously looking up at Loki.

"This is Mita, Suzume's younger sister."

Mita smiled as she stroked the black dog. "It's a pleasure to meet you Fenrir. You have a very nice coat."

"You really think so!" Fenrir smiled and wagged his tail.

"Yes, but that still doesn't change that you're two-faced." Mita smiled sweetly.

"…" Fenrir sat and half glared at the girl. "Your sister sure has a big mouth."

Loki looked from one to the other questioningly. "What are you two talking about?"

"Nothing." Replied the two simultaneously.

Loki stood up. "Well we better head out to see the Norns. Fenrir, you stay here." He added for Fenrir had stood up expectantly.

The door opened and Yamino entered holding a large tray filled with tea and sweets. Behind him stood a boy about Mayura's age with short, brown hair and he carried a wooden sword.

"Master Loki, Narugami has dropped in."

Mita looked over to Loki and whispered, "Isn't that Thor?"

Loki nodded. "Well Yamino, I have business to attend to so I'll be headed out." He began to walk towards the door followed by Mita.

Mayura jumped up. "Can't we go? I wanna go to the mystery!"

Loki sweat dropped. "Stay here, it's just a bit of research, no big deal." He paused by Yamino. "We'll be back later, don't wait up."

The two left and Narugami sat down as Yamino set the tray on the table.

Narugami grabbed a sweet and said, "The way he talked it sounded as if they were going out on a date."

The others in the room nodded in agreement.
