Inuyasha crossover The Avengers
Chapter 2: Brooding Over Matters

He was deep in thought, as Loki looked stood there looking out of his given room that overlooked the sea. In memory he was a bastard child, left to die in a cold temple of Jotunheim. Raised as a Prince of Asgard, second son of Odin, the God of Mischief, Chaos and Fire. He remembered that day well when he found out of his Jotun blood, stories that were told to young children of Asgard to fear and hate the most as they were growing up, he was the monster that they hated, the very monster that they battled and fought over the Casket for.

Even though he was the God of Mischief, Lies and Fire, Loki does not like being lied to, especially being kept in the dark with something so important. It felt like a betrayal, a question of his trust. He never asked to be King of Asgard, it was merely presented to him, and he wanted to make Odin proud of him. However he was always second best by Thor, never a match for his strength and skills as a warrior. He was always the odd one out, always being compared to Thor for the lack of his strength, tenacity and bravery, all of which he does not possess, perhaps except for bravery.

However what Loki lacked, he made up for it through his intelligence and wit, also priding in the skill of his sorcery, which he had taken up with much ease and talent for. Sadly though, that was all in the past, a past that he held onto with such a grip that it manifest into a hatred so powerful that it fueled him to seek revenge, power even to show to Odin who was more worthy of Asgard, and a worthy son, and not Thor.

Kagome awoke to the morning light streaming into her room as she sat up in bed. Her head tilted to the side as thought listening to something, she took a moment to as her eyes looked out to the ocean that seemed so far away. When she emerged from her room, Kagome saw Pepper a stack of paper in her hand as she said a morning greeting to the Goddess of Luck, disappearing down to the lab area of Tony Stark.

It was not often that she prepare breakfast, sometimes Steve would come over to offer his assistance in preparing breakfast or even lunch for everyone that was present. However today she was alone in the place of where they have Loki under house arrest most of the time, until someone had decided to bring him out to have a look around this world, this country area mainly.

Kagome used to do that, exploring New York with Loki with Happy as their chauffer and sometimes with the escort of Thor, if not one of the Avengers, sometimes Pepper herself if time would permit her. Money had never came across as a problem to Kagome, in fact the funding for her outings with Loki plus the extra member of the Avenger and their chauffer seemed to puzzle many. She had smiled at that thought, but money never really did came across to her as a problem, not especially much so when she herself too had set up a business of her own with the many antiques that she had gathered as souvenirs during her travel in the Feudal Era when mortal. Then there is also the help of Sesshoumaru who had aided her in the business, and helping her oversee it when she was almost never around.

As the Goddess of Luck, Kagome never really did neglect her duties and the many others that she holds. One could say that Luck practically follows her everywhere that she goes, and she was not one to keep the "luck" to just herself, sometimes granting that one golden opportunity was more than enough of "luck" that most needed. However she do screen through who gets the luck and whether they deserves it. It is not like she was an irresponsible Goddess to grant it to any and everyone that comes by her path.

It was quiet in the building as she looked around the place, sitting herself down on the couch in the living room as she politely requested for JARVIS to switch the television on to a random channel. It was not until a while later did Pepper, the personal secretary of Tony walked into the room to address Kagome once more, informing her of the time in which Tony was going to meet her back here to which Kagome hesitantly thanked the other woman as Pepper disappeared out of the building, leaving her alone by herself once more.

Usually she would be bringing breakfast in bed to Loki, if not getting him out of his room to be more sociable with the rest of the Avengers, teaching him of the modern day that he is in, even as to go out shopping for clothes with him as she would with nothing but smiles, laughter and herself. Everyone was more than fond of the female Goddess, her personality and charisma was just that charming that it was hard to resist her, even forgetting that she is a Goddess and not as fragile as she seemed to be. However with how things are between her and Loki, she did not know what else to do.

She had tried almost everything to get him to open up, trying to go about everyday with him as thought nothing had happened while her own emotions were reeling on the inside. It seemed almost like it was back in the Feudal Era where her affection for Inuyasha was hardly ever reciprocate. Sometimes the lump that she felt in her throat would not go away as she tried to push it down, the space between Loki and her grew more and more with each passing day, breaking her heart bit by bit as the cracks seem to grow even wider.

It was beyond repair, their relationship as Loki and her agreed to break off their already more than strained relationship as she took it with a heavy heart. Kagome remembered the heaviness that weighted upon her chest as she felt the tightness around her heart, almost making it hard to breath. She disappeared for a short while, choosing to take to her own private lodgings up in the mountains that was given to her by Amaterasu with a unique staff of her own. Kagome watched from the above the clouds the ocean of floating waters that is there from time to time, the wonders of being in the Realm of the Gods never cease to amaze her like the pocket world that uniquely belong to each kitsune. During that time period though it had been hard for her, she tried moving on bit by bit, sometimes busying herself, as she would wonder amongst the humans hearing their every thoughts and needs as well as the silent prayer to their own God.

It took her awhile, but she returned back to where Loki resides with Thor by her side, as she would listen to him engaging her in stories of his past and deeds, laughing over the many foolish things that he had done over the centuries past. It felt awkward to be back, not because she was not welcome there, but mainly because of what Loki and her had just went through. Loki had once again as always, confined himself to his own room, seemingly to be brooding over whatever was on his mind at the moment.

However that was now going to be part of her past as Kagome looked at the time before disappearing from her own abode to reappear where Tony Stark had requested to meet her at, only to see Loki beyond the glass window as she looked at him for a moment. He turned, their eyes locked for a moment as his was shadowed by the darkness outside, Kagome raised a hand to wave at him, a polite smile upon her lips before turning to face her date that was approaching her.

Kagome turned her head, wanting to say a goodbye to him, but he was nowhere to be found or insight as she allowed Tony to lead her away to the basement where his many sports car are kept.
