"Father, will you choose me over her?" she said. Loki looked at her, a girl who wore a silky black robe with sad expression on her face. She suddenly kissed Loki on his lips, making him stunned for a while because of her sudden action. He parted his lips from her when he recovered from his shock.

"What are you doing!?" he exclaimed. She gazed at him. And he realized that was her way to say she loved him. "Sorry"

"That's okay. You've been staying here for too long" she whispered at his ear. She hugged her father tightly and said, "How are my brothers doing there, father?"

"They're doing fine" Loki answered her and patted her head.

"Will you choose me over Daidoji Mayura, father?" she asked the same question once again.

Loki didn't answer her.

"I see, you're confused..." she said and her body started to fade away. "I shall be waiting for you, father"

"Wait, don't go!" Loki yelled and reached out for her. "There's something I want to know, Hel!!!"

Loki woke up. He was in his bed. Sweats were all over his body, and he gasped for some air. It was a very bad start for a new day, Loki thought. Hel, his daughter who loved him so much. She was the one who let him stay alive after he was dead, the one who gave him a second chance to live as a human... with Mayura.

But, that dream... that dream was so strange. Hel had never visited him since he became a human. And more importantly, she wanted him to choose between Mayura and her. For Loki, it seemed so strange since Hel was the one who said that he should stay with Mayura, so that she wouldn't feel that painful feeling once again.

Loki sighed heavily. He knew he had to give his answer to Thor soon and it wasn't going to be easy. He couldn't choose who was more precious to him, his lonely daughter or his human lover. He closed his eyes and changed his position. He didn't want to sleep anymore, but maybe Hel would visit him again if he fell asleep. Maybe. He tried to fall asleep.

Unfortunately, he couldn't get to sleep. He got up from his bed and poured water into his cup and took a sip. He wiped his forehead with the tissue paper and after disposing the tissue paper, he sat down on his chair.

He looked up and thought about the dream he had just now. Fenrir jumped onto his lap, like he knew that his father was in trouble. Fenrir rubbed his head against Loki's stomach and Loki gently patted Fenrir's head and gave the dog an assuring smile.

"You understand what I meant?" Loki asked, Fenrir barked. "You understand, I think. But, it doesn't matter whether you understand it or not. I will still talk, because I really need someone to talk to, but not Mayura."

Fenrir nodded as if he understood. "Fenrir, I had a dream about Hel. She asked me to choose between her and Mayura. Who do you think I should choose?"

Fenrir barked. "Mayura?" Loki asked his son. Fenrir barked again. "Not her, huh? Then, Hel?" Loki asked his son again. But, Fenrir only gave him the same bark again.

"I guess I can't really ask you. I miss you, Fenrir, and of course you too, Yamino" Loki said and looked at Yamino. "I even develop a new habit, calling you Yamino, even though that's not your real name."

Yamino hissed and sticked out his forked-tongue. "I'm so sorry, I can't understand you all, even though both of you understand what I say-maybe," Loki said and he put on a sad look on his face.

"I hope dawn will come sooner" Loki said while he was looking through the window.

Mayura prepared breakfast for herself and her father. Her father was in the shrine, ringing the bell. The sun was not in the sky, it was raining heavily. But, Mayura didn't really care about it. She prepared a bento for Loki which she would give after she had breakfast with her father.

'Wait for me, Loki-kun!' she thought.

Her father came into the house, he was already wet because it hadn't rained yet when he went to ring the bell. But, when he was ringing the bell, it started to rain.

"Here!" Mayura said and gave her father a dry towel.

"Thanks!" her father responded. He went to his room and changed his clothes. After that, he went to the kitchen and sat on the dining chair. His daughter had already been waiting for him.

Daidoji Misao saw a bento next to his daughter. He sighed. He knew who would eat his daughter bento. Though he already allowed Mayura to go out with that guy, Loki, he really hated it that he used her daughter like a maid.

"Why do you always make breakfast for him? You're not his servant, you're his lover!" her father said.

"He told me to stop. But, I didn't want to," she answered and smiled. "It's me who want him to eat my cooking."

Misao didn't say any words to his daughter again. He didn't want to argue with her, because an argument wouldn't change a thing. He wondered what Loki had done to his daughter that she loved him very much and wouldn't be able to stand a day without him. Mayura only liked Nyanko Detective as long as he could remember, but suddenly this guy appeared when his daughter was only sixteen and now, his daughter was twenty, soon going to be twenty one. For Misao, Loki was not that bad, but he didn't like that Loki didn't have any job. How would Loki provide what his daughter needs when they were married? What if they had a child? No... children?

His daughter seemed eager to get married to Loki, though Misao understood that Loki hadn't wanted to marry yet because of his financial problem. In this case, he was in Loki's side, but usually, he didn't really like the guy, because somehow he was mysterious. Mayura never told her father about Loki's background. What kind of family he was from? Misao really wanted to know about it.

"Mayura, tell me about Loki," Misao said to Mayura when she entered the family room to tell his father she was going to Loki's.

"Huh?" Mayura responded. She came closer to her father and sat on the tatami next to him. "He was gentle, nice, good-looking, and I love him."

"Not that. I know about that. It's the same answer you gave me every time I asked you about that guy," her father said.

"So, what do you want to know?" Mayura asked him.

"His background. What kind of family he was from?" her father asked impatiently.

"He didn't remember, he said," Mayura answered. "Loki lost his memory. The day when I met him in that place, I mean... the place where he built his house right now, Loki said he didn't remember anything."

Mayura closed her eyes for a second. Like she was remembering the day when she met him. It was a sunny day, and she didn't know why but, she was crying when she looked at the ruins of the house where Loki built his house. She never knew why, yet she didn't try to find an answer, because she didn't need to cry for the ruins anymore. It seemed important to her long ago.

Misao didn't know Loki lost his memory. He felt a bit guilty because he thought Loki was kicked out from his family or something like that. But, not able to remember himself was a bit painful, Misao thought.

"Had he remembered a thing from his past?" Misao asked his daughter.

"No," Mayura said softly. "Though he remembered his past, it wouldn't change anything between me and him."

"That's enough, you can go now," Misao said. "Be careful on your way, it still raining."

"I will," she replied and went to Loki's house.

She knocked at the door in front of her, hoping that he would opened the door quicker because it was cold outside. Her dress was wet and she was cold.

He opened the door for her and told her to get in. He prepared a towel for her. He lent her his shirt after he knew how cold she was because of the rain.

"The shirt is too big for you," he said. "Should I lend you my trousers?"

"No need. It's okay, just give me another towel," she said. She covered her thighs with a towel and the other towel was to dry her hair. She was looking at Loki who was eating the bento from her while she was busy drying her long hair. She was quite happy when she saw his face, it looked like he really enjoyed the meal.

"Is it delicious?" she asked.

Loki nodded. "Very delicious, I love your cooking. But, I love you more."

"Don't say silly things like that. You sound like a man who works in a host club," she grumbled.

"Do i really sound like that?" Loki asked. He didn't believe it. As long as he knew, the goddesses would faint if he said that. Now, this girl in front of him just said that he was in the same level as a guy who worked in a host club.

Mayura nodded several times.

He was too shocked to say anything else, but Mayura thought that he only wanted to finish the meal quicker, so she didn't ask him anything anymore when he ate the food. She waited for him to finish his meal, and then she circled her arms around him from behind and kissed his cheek. "Have you remembered anything about your past?"

Loki opened his eyes widely. He never thought about it anymore, his lies. He shook his head quickly.

"I see... today my father asked me about you, your background," she told him. "And I told him, you didn't remember your past at all, maybe only your name."

"Mayura..." he murmured so softly.

"Huh? What?" she asked.

"No.. nothing," he replied shortly. "I just wonder, what if I was a very bad person in the past... Will you still be here by my side?"

"You're so silly," she said and chuckled. "I've been here with you for five years. Bringing you breakfast every morning, doing the cleaning for you, staying by your side when you're sick, and giving you love all day long. How could you ask me that question? That was so mean!"

"I'm sorry... I just wondered," he said. "You remembered the man who came a few days ago and asked me to go home?"

"Yeah. He's one of the reason why I thought you had remembered your past..." she answered.

"He tried to make me remember, but I can't," Loki said. Another lie...

"But, you seemed to know him and the two of you looked like an old friend," she said.

"He said I was his best friend and his family," Loki told her.

Loki looked at Mayura and she knew that he didn't want the talk to last anymore. So, she stopped talking about it and she headed back to her seat and sat again. Her shop was not going to open until two o'clock, she still got so much time to be there with Loki.

Fenrir jumped onto her lap and she patted his head. The dog licked her hand and barked, his tail swinging fast, like he was enjoying to be together with Mayura. Loki only smiled when he saw his son was very closed to Mayura. At least, it would be easier to have a normal family if they accepted each other.

Mayura looked at Loki who was still smiling over the scene. "Loki... there'll be a bazaar tonight. Wanna go?" she asked.

"Sure... Why not? It'll be fun!" he responded.

"I'll open my shop there..." she said.

"Oh! It won't be fun if I went around alone without you," he said

"No, you're not going to be the customers. I mean, I want you to help me to sell my items. With your good looks, there'll be many girls who are willing to buy my items just to get a kiss from you," she said. "Kiss them on their cheek."

"What!? You're crazy! You're going to sell me?" he asked her and a frown appeared on his forehead.

"Not selling you, but making benefit of your looks," she said. "So, please prepare for tonight, you have said you would go..."

Loki shook his head. He didn't believe Mayura could say that. Every morning he was not allowed to eat the food that other people made for him, but now, she was going to sell his kiss to the girls in the town.

"No..." Loki said.

"Oh, please... Many people think twice before buying my items because of the price. Well, they are quite expensive. But, if they get your kiss as well... I think it's not too expensive..." she said while playing with her fingers.

"I'm not going, okay?" Loki told her. "Just drop the price."

"Alright, I understand. I'm not going to force you to kiss those girls, but please come with me to the bazaar. Once I closed my shop, we can go on a date!" Mayura cheerfully said. She gave him a puppy eyes look and finally Loki sighed, Mayura understood the sign. Loki agreed.

Chapter 3 finished!!!

It's been a few days since the last time I slept in my own room. I took a trip to refresh myself for three days. And what did I get?? Just some headaches because I really couldn't sleep in that place, not feeling comfortable enough to have a good sleep.

Now, I just finished this chapter and felt my head is a bit lighter than before.

Oh yeah, I'm very sorry that this chapter took a very long time to be finished, well... some writer's block and sometimes I forgot the plot...
