"You should know by now, Kitten." He smirked at her. "Things never end the way you thought it would when I'm involved."
Yui sighed in defeat and leaned back against the chair.
Two young women passed them but stopped when they saw Loki. "Look, that guy looks so hot!" One of them whispered to the other. "Look at his long red hair, I want to touch it." The other woman whispered. "It seems like he's with his girlfriend, though."
'G-Girlfriend! ?' Yui cried out inside her head. She started blushing just as Loki looked up at her. "What's wrong, Kitten? Your face is red." He said.
Now:
Before Yui could come up with an excuse, the two women had walked up to their table. "Hello, handsome." One of them said. Loki didn't look very interested. "Can I help you?"
"My name is Asako and this is Chika, I was just wondering, are these two seats taken?"
"... No." Loki said.
"Do you mind if we sit here with you?"
Loki and Yui looked at each other. "Why do you want to sit with us?" Loki asked.
"We would like to get to know you." The woman named Chika said with a smile.
"Um…" Yui managed to say.
"We were just leaving." Loki said before Yui could say anything else and stood up from his chair. "Come on, Yui." He said and walked out of the cafe. Yui stood up and bowed to the two women before she ran after him. "Loki-san, wait up!"
"His name is Loki? That's so cool!" Asako squealed.
…
"Where are we going next?" Loki asked.
Yui suddenly saw some cute bikinis from a window. "In here." She said and entered the store. Loki followed her inside but lost sight of her the moment he entered. "Kitten, where did you go?" He called out.
For a few minutes he looked around the store before he found her looking at a pink bikini set. He smirked as he came sneaking up from behind her, then he leaned closer to her ear and whispered, "I bet it would look good on you."
Yui let out a small scream and turned around quickly only to see Loki standing there, grinning at her. "Loki-san! You scared me!" She cried out.
"Relax, Kitten, it's only me." He laughed.
"Have you found anything you like, miss?" A woman, apparently the shop assistant, asked.
"Oh, um, I like this one. Where can I find the dressing rooms?" Yui asked.
"Right this way, miss." The woman smiled and showed them the way.
Yui stepped inside one of the dressing rooms. "No peeking, Loki-san." She said and closed the door.
"I would never do that." Loki said jokingly.
Yui undressed and changed into the bikini. Actually, it didn't look so bad she thought. 'I think I'm going to take this one, I like it.' She thought as she inspected herself in the mirror.
"It looks good on you."
"Thank you, Lo- Wha-! Loki-san! ?" She exclaimed. Loki was lying on the floor with his hands under his chin, watching her from the gap between the door and the floor... He was actually already half way inside the dressing room. "Loki-san, I said no peeking! Get out!" She shouted. "But you were taking so long." He complained. "It's been two minutes!" Yui cried out.
"Is something wrong?" They could hear the woman from before ask.
"Oh no! Come inside, now!" Yui whispered loudly. She grabbed Loki's arms and pulled him inside. "I thought you said you wanted me to get out?" He laughed.
"Be quiet!" She hissed and covered his mouth with her hand.
"Hmm, I thought... Oh well." They heard the woman say before she turned around and left.
"That was close…" Yui sighed and removed her hand from Loki's mouth. "What if she found you peeking through the door like that?"
Loki didn't say anything.
"Loki-san, are you listening to me?" She tried again.
Loki threw her the most evil looking smirk she had ever seen. "You look stunning, Yui."
"Huh?" Yui said and looked down at her body, she had forgotten that she was barely dressed. "Aahh! Out, out, out!" She shouted and pushed him out through the door.
Loki pulled himself up from the floor. "You're the one who pulled me inside, Kitten." He grinned and leaned against the door to the dressing room… unaware that the door could be opened by both 'pushing' and 'pulling' it. So when he leaned against it, it opened, and he fell backwards into the dressing room.
"LOKI-SAN!" Yui screamed.
…
The walk back home was kind of awkward, for Yui anyway. Loki was smirking the whole time.
"Come on, Kitten. How many times do I have to apologize?"
"That was so embarrassing!" Yui exclaimed.
"I was having fun." The god of fire grinned.
"Not a word about this to anyone, alright?" Yui said, her face was still red.
"The others might suspect something if you don't change back to your normal color, though." Loki said.
Yui just sighed and kept walking.
"By the way Loki-san, those two women we met earlier."
"What about them?"
"They were very beautiful, I thought for sure you would invite them to sit with us."
"Why would I do that?"
"I don't know, they just seemed like the type of women you would be interested in."
"I'm not interested in women who tries to make a move on you when it's obvious you're spending time with your girlfriend."
"Wha- G-Girlfriend?" Yui exclaimed, her cheeks turned red.
"I heard when they whispered to each other and thought you were my girlfriend." Loki explained.
"Oh…" Yui said. She felt disappointed for some reason.
"Why the long face, Kitten? You look disappointed." He smirked at her.
"I-I'm not! Let's just go home already." Yui said and began to walk faster.
…
"Where the hell are they?" Takeru said. Loki and Yui had been taking so long the others were already done with the packing.
"I'm sure they'll be here soon." Balder said.
"What if something has happened?" Hades said.
"Yeah, they could have run into trouble or something." Apollon said.
"Now, now, there's no need to worry, everyone." Mrs. Kusanagi said as she entered the living room with a plate of cookies. "Jiro will be here with the minibus soon so why don't you enjoy some cookies before then?"
"Thank you." Thor said as he took a cookie from the plate.
"You are very kind." Tsukito said and took one as well.
Yui's mom smiled sweetly at them before she left the room again to take care of something in the kitchen.
"I wonder who this Jiro guy is." Takeru said when Mrs. Kusanagi was out of sight.
"Yui-san said he was her dad's friend, remember?" Balder said.
"Her dad's friend or not, he's still a guy." Takeru said.
Apollon swallowed hard.
"Come on now... Are you going to be jealous of every guy in Kusanagi-san's life?" Dionysus asked.
There was a knock on the front door.
"Jiro, it's good to see you again. How have you been?" They could hear Mrs. Kusanagi say.
"I've been just fine, Aika. And I'm glad to see you as well, if I hadn't been so busy with work I would have visit you all sooner." Jiro said.
"Jiro my friend, I'm glad you were able to help my daughter out." Mr Kusanagi said as he walked up to his wife and friend by the door.
"Glad to be of service, Makoto."
"He sounds harmless enough." Balder said.
"I hope you don't mind I took my two sons with me."
"Sons?" Hades said.
"Not at all, I think Yui will be happy to see them again." Mrs. Kusanagi said. "Where are they?"
"They're just getting something from the minibus." Jiro said and turned around to see his sons walk towards them. "Ah, here they come."
"Katsu, Seiji, how are you boys doing?" Mr Kusanagi asked.
"Fine thank you." Katsu said. "It's been awhile."
"Where is Yui-san?" Seiji asked.
"She should be back soon, she's just out shopping with a friend." Mrs. Kusanagi said.
"Don't they sound rather young?" Takeru asked.
Takeru had barely finished the sentence before both Apollon and Balder had gone out through the door and out the hall.
"Apollon, Balder, is something wrong?" Mrs. Kusanagi asked when she noticed the two gods were coming towards them.
"We just wanted to say thank you for the cookies." Apollon said innocently.
"And introduce ourselves to your family friends." Balder added.
"Oh, of course!" Mrs. Kusanagi said and moved out of the way so they could greet each other.
"My name is Balder, I'm Yui-san's friend." Balder said and shook Jiro's hand.
"And I'm Apollon, I'm also a friend of Fairy's."
"Fairy?" Katsu said.
"I guess we should introduce ourselves as well?" Dionysus said. He and the others had left the living room and were now walking through the hall to the front door where the others were standing.
"Now I understand why you needed a minibus." Jiro said. "Are you all Yui's friends?"
"We are." Takeru said.
"Yui-san never told us about you." Seiji said.
Takeru turned his head towards the young man. "She never mentioned you either."
"We're back!"
Everyone turned to see Yui and Loki walking towards the house.
"Welcome back, Yui and Loki! Did you find what you were looking for?" Yui's mom called to them.
"Yes, we did." Yui said. As they were getting closer, she noticed two figures she hadn't seen for a long time. "Seiji-san? Katsu-san?"
"Hello Yui." Katsu smiled at her.
"It's good to see you again, Yui-san." Seiji said and walked up to her. "This is for you." He said and gave her a small gift box.
"Thank you." Yui smiled and laid the shopping bag on the ground so she could open it.
Inside was a picture of her, Katsu and Seiji from when they were younger. "We figured since we don't see each other so much anymore, we wanted you to have a memory of us all together." Seiji said.
"Thank you both." Yui smiled sweetly at them. Both Katsu and Seiji were older than her, Katsu was 23 and Seiji was 20. The last time she had seen them was about 2 years ago, since they all were so busy with work and school. Yui looked down at the picture, she was 7 years old and was sitting on a swing, a 10 year old Seiji stood on her left side and a 13 year old Katsu on her right.
"Kitten looks very cute." Loki smirked. He was leaning over her, inspecting the picture in her hand.
The other gods had moved to her side as well.
"Yui-san's so adorable." Balder smiled.
"So cute, so cute!" Apollon exclaimed.
"Um, why don't we go inside for a moment before you leave?" Mrs. Kusanagi suggested.
…
"Have a safe trip now, everyone!" Yui's mom called after them as they entered the minibus.
"See you in a few days!" Yui called back before she followed her friends inside.
Right after Yui had entered the vehicle, Loki grabbed her hand and dragged her through the minibus. "Come sit with me, Kitten!" He grinned.
"No fair, no fair! I want to sit with Fairy, too!" Apollon said.
"Why do you call her Fairy?" Seiji asked.
"Huh?" Apollon said and turned to Seiji. "She looks like a fairy, doesn't she? I nicknamed her that when we first met." He explained.
"And how did you meet exactly?" Seiji asked.
The gods and Yui's eyes widened.
"Well… um.." Apollon said.
"I met them during summer vacation last year. Isn't that right?" Yui said and looked at the others.
"That's right." Tsukito said.
"Indeed." Thor said.
"We had so much fun back then." Balder said.
"Yes." Hades said.
"Take your seats everyone!" Jiro called before he started the vehicle.
Everyone hurried to find a seat. 'Saved...' They all thought.
"I know a good place you can camp on, shall I take you there? It's about half an hour away." Jiro said.
"That would be great! Thank you." Yui smiled at him from where she was sitting beside Loki.
…
"Be safe now, Yui. I will pick you up here tomorrow around 12 alright?" Jiro said.
"Alright, thanks again!" Yui said.
"Good bye Yui." Katsu said.
"Yeah, bye." Seiji said and waved to her before stepping inside the minibus.
When the minibus was out of sight everyone grabbed their things and walked into the woods to find a good spot where they could set up the tents on. 5 minutes later they found a glade by a lake and decided to stay there. Each tent had room for three people so they had decided to bring four with them, figuring that Yui would probably feel uncomfortable sharing a tent with the opposite sex.
Once the tents were up, Takeru ran down to the lake. "We should totally go for a swim!"
"Not yet, Totsuka Takeru. We must first find wood for the fire." Tsukito said.
"Let's go find some berries, too! Berries!" Apollon exclaimed and grabbed both Takeru's and Tsukito's hand before dragging them into the woods. "I'm going with you." Dionysus said and followed them. "I will help you out as well." Balder smiled.
Left by the tents were Yui, Hades, Loki and Thor.
"It's rather hot today." Hades said.
"Yeah." Thor agreed.
"Then let's change into our swimming trunks." Loki said and picked up his backpack.
Thor picked up his as well and went inside one of the tents to change.
"Come on you two." Loki said and smirked at Yui and Hades before disappearing into the tent as well.
"A-Alright then…" Yui said and picked up her backpack.
"Y-Yeah…" Hades said and did the same.
…
A few moments later, Loki, Thor and Hades were standing by the lake, waiting for Yui to come out from her tent.
When they heard movements coming from the tent they turned around and saw Yui in her pink bikini. Loki started smirking and Hades had to turn his head away to hide his blushing face. But before any of them could say anything, Thor said, "It looks good on you, Kusanagi."
"Ah, thank you, Thor-san." Yui smiled. She was feeling a little embarrassed, the gods had never seen her so lightly dressed before.
She walked closer and stopped in front of them. "Sooo… What now?"
"Now we swim!" Loki grinned and picked her up bridal style before running into the water with her.
Hades and Thor blinked at them.
"LOKI-SAN! They could hear Yui scream. "IT'S COLD!"
