CHAPTER 4

Dream

"I see, you're looking for someone..." They were both at the plaza, sitting on the bench facing the fountain that decorated the place. There were many people. Each buzzing thier own story. The Goddess of the Underworld, Hel found out that Mayura was a gullible person. She was kind and a little clumsy. Beautiful and optimistic. 'I guess, father will like her...' She smiled at the thought of that. Hel observed Mayura for awhile. 'Sure she doesn't compare to Freya's but her uniqueness cannot be compared to hers as well' Hel frowned.

"Why don't I help you?" She suggested while she grabbed Hel's hand and clasped it with her own. "Eh?" Hel thought for a while. But just a while ago, the goddess convinced herself to look for him herself. Hel gave a very troubled face and Mayura just pouted. "I know i don't look like a detective..." Mayura started. 'Loki said so himself...' she added in her line of thoughts. Her hair shadowed her eyes for awhile but looked at Hel seriously. Hel sighed and shook her head while she smiled.

"The mere fact that you knew I needed some help makes you a great detective already... but..." Hel took Mayura's hand off of hers. Instead the goddess grabbed them both and smiled. "but?" Mayura echoed. Hel took in a deep breath. "You missed one important clue..." The pink haired woman seemed confused but interested. It was as if she felt that she was a real detective or something working on an assigned case by Loki himself. "I'm looking for him becausethis is something much more important than my life so I would rather search for him by myself..." Mayura didn't speak for awhile. She gave a smile while she saw the goddess looking at the skies. She understood it; the meaning of searching. She too experienced something only she could do for herself. Mayura felt at peace when she was with this girl. They both looked at each other and they both laugh.

"I understand." Hel nodded. "I think I should go and look for him now..." With that they part ways, waving at each other. "I hope I see her again..." She was happy meeting someone as pretty and determined as her. If she was that determined, she was sure that Loki will take notice of her. She was sure of it. She looked down on the ground and as she did, she was surprised to see something lying very shiny down on the floor. As she kneeled down and picked it up, she identified it as an ornament for a necklace. It was a black, opal shaped gem with a crimson colored rose inside. It looked like it was alive. She definitely saw it somewhere. "Oh yeah, she was wearing this when I bumped into her..." She recalled as she saw Hel kneeling, holding it her right hand as if she was protecting it. 'How come it fell?' she asked herself.

ENJAKU AGENCY

"She was really cute! I tell you, she's so pretty, you guys could have been in love with her…" Mayura exclaimed as she walked back and forth inside Loki's room. The three of them started to think deeply, with their hands like that of the greatest thinker. Even Fenrir started to think for himself as well. "With a long brown hair, as soft as a pillow…" Loki said as if trying to build a puzzle. "With a beautiful laced dress and a pair of beautiful white sandals?" Yamino added. "She was really cute and pretty?" Fenrir's eyebrows met at the center as if he could vomit anytime. "MASAKA" The three said at the very same time as if they imagined their very own Hel, meeting Mayura. It was not as if their town was that small. Well, there could always be that kind of possibility but Mayura and Hel meeting made Loki nervous for some reason.

"So, what happened?" Loki said as he changed the subject. Mayura looked disheartened for some reason as if she was expecting another thing from the mouth of the greatest detective. "Well, she was looking for somebody important." Mayura opened her pouch bag she just bought the other day. It was a cute bear shaped bag she was whining all week to Loki who didn't even try to listen to her (Or so she thought). "And when I bumped into her, for some reason, this pendant fell from her." Mayura showed her evidence. Loki's eyes widened. 'So the city is small after all...' he thought.He was the only one inside that room who knew. Although he was very worried. If Hel found out it's lost then, who knows what will happen. Worst, she might take the life of the one who has it. She never really thinks. She just acts on her own whim.

"Mayura, you should hand it to me..." He said as he handed out a palm and shoved it on the girl. "And why should I? It's not Loki's..." Loki's eyebrow raised. "Mayura, its for your own good..." His voice was collected.Mayura puffed her cheeks. "Fine..." Mayura showed her tongue to Loki and tossed the necklace towards the young boy who barely catched it from the force. "He-Hey... that was not very nice.." Loki said as he treasured the jewel in place. "Warukata-yo!" she exclaimed as she stormed out of the room.

"Did I do something?" he hadavery puzzled look on his face. Yamino and Fenrir shrugged their shoulders and they both said, "Saa..."

"Well?" His two sons looked at him for a moment but only Yamino, the cultured one was able to give a possible reason while the other just barked a no.

"Well, I guess... women are very complicated and hard to understand..." Loki thought for a moment. There was definitely a lot of woman in his life. He can't help it. His good looks and attitude attracts them like magnet everywhere he goes. He smirked. "Yeah, I guess they are..."

Mayura

"Stupid Loki… Always wants to act all tough…" Mayura was in the playground that late afternoon after the discussion with the great detective Loki. She was sitting on the swing, rocking back and forth as if to pass time. All of this time, all she wanted was for Loki to take notice of her. She wanted him to see her as a great asset, or maybe 'more than that'. She can't explain it exactly but she knows she will be dreaded if she was to loose her job in the agency. She won't be able to see him that much, and as if he likes to see her. Although, she can't deny the fact that he has been a great help for her to realize her greatest dream. "Loki..." Her hair overshadowed half of her face. She missed him. It was evident as the tear trickled down in the side of her face.

The sun was setting and it gave the clouds a moment of a great tangerine-like color. Birds were flying back towards thier nest and some of the people who EVERYDAY occupy the streets, like a routine, have resumed thier businesses at home. Only couples, some nightly-youth, adults and the like remained. Heimdall and Freyr were also on thier way home. They were both carrying plastic bags on thier hands, full of food and other miscellaneous things chosen by the Fertility God himself.

"This will be the last time I'm going out with you! I have other things in my mind..." Heimdall declared with authority.

"Oh come on... You said the same thing last time..." Freyr teased as he mumbled it to the air, soft enough for him not to hear. Heimdall, on the other hand, just did what he was told. He was carrying two bags, somewhat big enough for his size and for that he felt like an idiot, He was even known as the watcher for Odin's sake. He breathed in and out, leaving the "GOING with U" issue alone because he knows, that whatever he says, he will just be forced to come with Freyr again. He just wanted to go home so he recounted the steps left. 'Corner, construction site, and left turn in the corner, three streets after, past the park and a few blocks away...' Heimdall sighed. It was still a long way to go and he was just way tired.

"Why do I have to go with you anyways? You always buy the same thing! Besides, we haven't even consumed all of the food that you bought the other day." Heimdall was whining like a child. Freyr gave him a gleeful look as he just explained it with a "Because..." For Freyr, he sometimes wonder if it was better for Heimdall to stay like a child forever. Yes, he was more respectable when he is in his true form but he is just so cute like this. But as cute as he is, he was still that man Freyr was scared of. He doesn't want him to get mad and for that, he tries to expose him to different kinds of people. Especially to girls who sometimes find him cute. (SOMETIMES: Well, he glares)

As they try to walk past the park, Freyr's hair stood up. It immediately caused him to stop. "Yamato..." He murmured. He looked left and right, down in the man hole and up in the fence beside the park and finally, he saw the woman he wholeheartedly admires. She looked absolutely stunning. Mayura was staring blankly at space, her pink soft hair dancing with the wind. She looked so peaceful and calm that it accentuated her beauty. "Nadeshiko..." His heart skipped a beat. Sure he had seen her as beauty itself, although it can't compare to this time. He wanted her. He went down the fence, coughed and took courage.

He gave the bags to Heimdall who caught them with ease, but his balance, tipping off. "You... Stupid..." Heimdall grumbled as he fell abruptly on the floor.

Freyr on the other hand, didn't seem to notice what happened to him. Instead, he slowly approached his goddess. Heimdall sighed in annoyance, "Nadeshiko, eh?" he shook his head and grabbed the bags that were trampled in the floor.

As Freyr's shadow overcasts Mayura's, she took notice of the individual in front of her. "Freyr-sama..." her voice was still depressed. "Yamato Nadeshiko..." Freyr mumbled as he continued to advance. He smiled and sighed "What a coincidence..." he commented as he took the other swing beside her. Mayura just looked intently at him as he did so. "Problem?" Freyr asked. The girl's eyes widen and flashed a smile. "Nope, nothing..." Freyr carefully examined her. She was beautiful, childish with a mature body and kind. Her eyes were fixed on the ground and she did not show any signs of leaving it.

"Hora! You walking woma--" Heimdall shouted at the top of his lungs. Freyr coolly left the swing to cover the young boy's mouth. Heimdall, struggled a little but tried to ask for an explanation. "Come on, I'll carry everything home... just keep your cool..." Freyr whispered in his ear. He recieved a nod so he slowly withdraw his hand from the boy's mouth and gently sat on the swing again. Heimdall, frustrated, forcefully set the bags in front of Freyr and sat in the poles in the park. Well, it was a bargain, he can rest and at the same time, he'll not have to carry anything on his way home so he sat on a pole, a few feet away from the couple, his back faced in front to them.

"Well, I met someone a while ago. She was a cute girl, named... um..." She started. Freyr listened intently as she spoke. He didn't try to force anything out of her but when she was already thinking for minutes, he still tried to keep his concerned face despite the fact that she wanted her to continue already.

"Well, anyways, something fell from her and I think it's very important. So I suggested that we should look for her, but Loki, took away the pendant and… I really want to look for her…" Mayura said as she flashed a pretend smile in front of Freyr. The man gritted his teeth, "That LoKi, making my Yamato Nadeshiko unhappy!" he mumbled. The girl didn't seem to hear it but Heimdall flashed a grin from a distance.

"Well, you want me to help you look for her?" the god offered.

"Would you really?" Mayura's eyes widen with excitement. Unknowingly, she rushed towards him to give a good hug. "Thanks!" after a moment, she decided to let go and shouted, "Just wait and see, I'll solve this mystery!"

On the other hand, Freyr was shocked. He didn't try to move, or speak as he was frozen like a stone. His Yamato nadeshiko, giving him a hug was a start of a new level. So, he joined her, in shouting and laughing. In the next step, Yamato Nadeshiko will be hers.

"Oh, and I just remembered, her name was Hel…"

Freyr and Heimdall were taken aback by the name they just heard. "Hel?" they said synonymously.
