Summary:

What happens when Mayura starts to believe in God? And who do the voices belong to that she starts hearing? What's a Punyan? And who keeps yelling "Daddy?"

Chapter 1: Talking Dogs And Floating Marshmellows?

"Loki-kun…I want to see Loki-kun…Kami-sama…" came the prayers of a young girl standing outside of the gate to a large dark mansion.

"What's wrong? You seem pretty listless Mayura." Came a voice from behind her.

She turned around slowly in disbelieve that it could really be him…

"What is it? Don't look at me like you just saw a ghost," he continued, as he stopped in front of her, a smile appearing on his face.

"Loki-kun! Thank God! Thank God!" she exclaimed, holding him tightly and crying.

"Mayura…" he simply whispered her name letting her hold him for a while longer.

'I think…there really is a God…'

Mayura walked down the street heading toward the Enjaku Detective Agency. She held in her hand a crumpled piece of paper which was the only remains of her math test; as she continued walking, she tossed it over her shoulder and into the nearby trashcan.

She stopped to open the gate and walked up the drive to the mansion and knocked –a new concept-on the front door and waited on the front steps. She always knocked since that day…the day when Loki-kun had gotten so mad at her.

"Ah, Mayura-san," stated Yamino as he opened the door and motioned her to come inside.

"Hi Yamino-san, is Loki-kun here?" she asked with a hopeful smile plastered on her face.

"Hai. He's in his study; I'll bring some tea and cookies up for you."

"Arigato! I love Yamino-san's cookies!" she exclaimed before she headed up the stairs.

Mayura now stood outside of the door to Loki's study. Her hand stopped in mid-air, just as she had been about to knock she had heard voices…one was Loki-kun's…but the others?

'Maybe Loki-kun has a client? Ooooh! Fushigi Mystery!' she thought getting one of her classic mystery looks. She decided it best to knock quietly.

"Yes?" came Loki's voice.

"Ano…Loki-kun…it's Mayura…can I come in?" she called from in front of the closed door, hearing the voices once more.

"Daddy, it's the mystery girl…" came a put out voice.

"Punyan! Loki-tama!"

"Hai, Mayura."

Mayura just stood at the door with little question marks appearing around her head. "Loki-kun…uh…seems busy. I'll just go…"

She turned to leave-the little question marks multiplying as every second passed by-when she heard the door open and felt a hand on her arm.

"Mayura?"

She turned to face the emerald eyed, auburn haired detective. Looking down, her eyes met his, "Loki-kun…"

"Mayura, you didn't want to see me today?" he questioned, arching an eyebrow while awaiting her answer.

"I thought you had company was all…" she trailed off with a pout appearing on her face, in her attempt to survey the room for the likely suspects. No one could be found…only Fenrir.

Loki removed his hand from her arm and smiled. "Just me I'm afraid. Why don't you come in and sit down? Yamino-kun should be coming with some snacks soon."

He motioned for her to enter his study, which she did but still continued to look around the room rather suspiciously.

'Maybe Loki-kun had the T.V. on?' she thought as she took a seat on the sofa.

Loki watched her intently as she sat there twiddling nervously, "Eh, Mayura, is something—

Before he could finish Yamino came into the room with a tray full of cookies and a fresh pot of—you guessed it—mail in ordered tea. He eyed Mayura and then Loki with a 'Did you two have an argument look' on his face. Loki merely shook his head in response.

"Mayura-san, how many lumps of sugar would you like in your tea?" he asked.

She looked up from her thoughts, "Two please," and smiled when he passed her the tea cup. As she reached for a cookie she heard…

"C'mon! Hurry it up and give one to me!" came a whining voice, "Why does the mystery girl get to eat first?"

She blinked and looked slowly down…down toward her feet…to see Fenrir sitting there. A sweat drop grew on her head as she heard, "I'm SOOO hungry!" Mayura quickly shoved the cookie in her mouth, chewed, swallowed, choked, and flailed her arms madly before downing the hot tea and then flailed some more as the hot tea hit her.

All three blinked as sweat drops appeared on their heads…Mayura was sure she must be losing it, and if she hadn't thought that everyone else in the room would have.

Yamino had to close his mouth before confronting her, "W-Would you like some more, Mayura-san?" he asked nervously feeling that she must have missed lunch today.

Loki wondered if all mortal girls were like this, he quietly regained his composure and watched the scene continue.

"Ano…"she began but stopped when she heard—

"You baka! You can't give her seconds when neither Daddy or I have had firsts!"

Mayura gulped and looked down…

"C'mon, I'm starving! What are you looking at?"

Both Loki and Yamino's mouths dropped open in awe. Mayura had grabbed the tray in lightning movements, out of Yamino's hands and thrown it down on the floor in front of Fenrir.

"May-u-ra?" asked Loki, trying to gain a grasp on the situation and maintain his composure all at once.

"He needs them more than I do!" she yelled in her defense, having inched further away from the black pup.

"Daddy…she's acting stranger than usual…" commented Fenrir looking at the crazy mortal girl in front of him. Feeling satisfied he shrugged and started to devour the cookies.

Mayura sat there nervously, resisting the urge to yell 'Fushigi Mystery!' –Kami-sama! She's sick!

"Mayura, are you…alright?"

"Hai!" she blurted out and then looked down at her hands in her lap. 'I'm just tired that's it! Talking dogs…aliens yes…talking dogs no…' she told herself nodding.

"Yamino are there any more sweets left for US to eat since Mayura so generously gave all the cookies to Fenrir?" asked Loki, his elbow propped and his chin in his hand, looking from Yamino to Mayura to Fenrir and back.

"I can make more Loki-sama," replied Yamino as he took the tray from Fenrir who was now on his back with a bulging stomach. 'Nii-san…' he thought as he walked past him.

"I'll help!" exclaimed Mayura jumping up and running out after Yamino.

"Eh, Mayura don't you—

Loki sighed as he heard her go flying down the stairs…

"Mou…Yamino-san did you um…get anything lately in the mail?" questioned Mayura, now sitting on a bar stool.

"Only the tea I brewed for you and Loki-sama. Why?" he answered with a question, putting the pan into the oven.

"…No microphones?"

"Excuse me?"

"…"

Yamino opened the door to Loki's study as Mayura came in carrying the tray of freshly baked cookies. She walked in with a smile.

"Loki-kun here's…" she trailed off, as she stood frozen, her eyes wide, mouth open, as a tumble weed rolled past her.

Up went the tray of cookies as she pointed her index finger—shaking it—in Loki's direction. Yamino ran around her catching as many of the flying cookies as possible. Loki just sat there in half amazement and half complete awe.

"Do you have something to say, Mayura?"

"Floating…"

"Daddy, I think she's lost it," commented Fenrir as he jumped up in Loki's lap.

"T-talking!"

"Floating? Talking?" Loki asked with a quizzical expression on his face.

"FloatingMarshmellowsandtalkingdogs!" she rambled without taking a single breath before getting swirly eyed and stating "Fushigi Mystery…" as she fell over backwards onto an unsuspecting Yamino whose collected cookies once more flew up into the air.

Loki stood up and leaned over his desk to see the scene sprawled out in front of him; Yamino under the pink haired mortal, both with swirlies in their eyes.

"Punyan, Loki-tama?"

"Marsh mellows?" he looked at Ecchan, "And…"

"Daddy, you stayed on Midgard for this?" asked Fenrir, shaking his head in disbelief.

"Talking dogs…Mayura can you really…"

Well? What do you think so far? Short but I want to see if anyone has any interest… 
