It's been such a long time since the last time I wrote chapter 3. Suddenly I got a block, and so I couldn't continue this, but then I finally know what I wanted to write in this chapter.

Okay, let's just start this story!

Loki woke up early in the morning. Mayura was by his side. She was still asleep. Her innocent figure made him smiled and he caressed her hair gently, tried not to wake her up.

Loki walked out of his little house. Staring at the dawn sky as the sun climbed up the sky.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" suddenly a voice came from behind him.

"You're awake," he looked at her for a moment and continued looking at the sky. "Yes, it is."

She smiled and nodded. She stood by his side and leaned her head on his shoulder. It was silent. Until the birds' singing broke the silence. They loved the wind that gently caressed their skin, but after a while, they felt cold and went inside the house.

"Mayura, do you want to go somewhere today?" he asked.

She looked at him. "What is it, Loki? It's not like you to ask me out... Usually I'm the one who ask you. Oh, never mind. Yes, I want to go to a wonderful place today!"

"Where?" he asked her.

"That's a secret, you'll know later!" she said. "I'll make you a breakfast and then we'll get ready to go."

Loki nodded obediently.

"Jewelry store?" Loki asked himself. He couldn't believe that Mayura would take him to a place which needed a lot of money.

"Yup!" she said cheerfully and clapped her hands.

"So, what are we going to buy?" he asked her.

"A ring!" she said loudly. She was a bit annoyed by him. "Don't you remember you ARE going to marry me? Or you don't want to?"

Loki waved his hand. "Of course not. But, why so sudden?"

"I told you when we made love last night!" she said loudly. And when she realized where she was, she flushed and Loki did too.

"Don't get mad okay... It's my fault, so let's go in. But, you know, I don't bring much money with me, since I didn't know you were going here," he told her.

"That's okay, we just need to look which ring we want, buying it is easy. Picking out one of them is much harder," she said and her smile returned. They went into the store. Mayura looked at those rings with an amazed look. All the rings look beautiful and shiny. She loved shiny things.

"Loki! Look, that one," she said while pointing at the gold ring with red ruby on it. "Beautiful isn't it?"

Loki nodded. "Excuse me, can I take a closer look of that gold ring with red ruby?"

The shopkeeper gave the ring to them, Loki took a really close look to the ring. No mistake, it was his ring. The ring was lost when he arrived at Midgard, a few days before he met Mayura. He smiled.

"See, it fits me well!" Mayura said cheerfully.

'Of course, it will fit. It fits every finger that wears it. A magic ring,' he thought.

"Loki, what do you think?" she asked.

"That's perfect for you, Mayura. Very perfect, let's just buy it," he said confidently.

"You said you didn't bring money," she reminded him.

"Well, looks like I forget that I have much of them in my wallet," he answered. Loki turned to the shopkeeper and asked, "How much is this one?"

"¥12000" the shopkeeper replied quickly and smiled. "Do you want it, sir?"

"Yes, I'm buying it. Cash," he said.

"Loki, it's expensive, let's just look for another ring," Mayura looked at Loki. "You've been working all this time, but that much money shouldn't be wasted because of a ring!"

"That's okay, it's for you, I can work harder," he said without hesitation and thought, 'Don't worry, Mayura. This ring will make us rich in no time.'

Mayura didn't respond. Her eyes told him that she didn't want the ring because of its price. Loki sighed.

"Can you give me a discount, miss? My girlfriend here doesn't want me to buy it because it's too expensive, but I understand that she really wanted it. So can you please help us?" Loki asked the shopkeeper. His charm was beginning to take effect and the shopkeeper nodded.

"Yes, for you, my beloved customer. I'll give you a good price. How about ¥5000?" she asked. "It's cheap enough right, or ¥3000?"

"Oh, my. We're okay with ¥5000, miss. Right, Loki?" Mayura suddenly responded.

"Yes, we'll take it," Loki handed the shopkeeper girl the money and his fingers touched the palm of her hand. The girl was becoming hysterical. By the time the shopkeeper girl remembered how she gave a very crazy discount to Loki, she became hysterical for the second time that day.

The ring was in Mayura's finger, but suddenly, she gave it to Loki. Loki looked at her with his questioned face. She smiled and when he still didn't understand, she said softly, "I want you to put the ring in my finger on our wedding day. In front of everyone. So they'll know you're mine!"

Her eyes full of sparks of happiness, Loki was stunned for a while. He realized that she loved him so much and their wedding was going to be held soon, though he didn't know when for sure. How could he only think about his own satisfaction?

I wouldn't leave her, he thought, I don't mind being a mortal.

Loki looked at Mayura and told her, "You know. This ring was mine before... I knew it the moment I saw it in that store."

"How can that be?"

"I lost it. A few days before I met you," he told her. And added to himself, 'Before I met you in my child form. The first time we met, Mayura. I still had that in my mind.'

"So, that's why you wanted it even though she sold it for ¥12000. Good thing you are good looking!" she said cheerfully.

He held her hand and walked her to her home, after that, he went back to his own house to take a rest.

He was lying down on his bed and he took a closer look to his ring. The ring shone, its red ruby glowed brightly.

'I knew it! This is really mine. No doubt. Life will be easier after this!' he told himself and smirked. His devilish side, which rarely appeared lately, was showing up.

"Who's that!" Loki turned to look at the door.

"No magic if you don't want to be a God," Thor said. "Returned it to me. I shall give you a ring which looks exactly like that one, but no magic power."

"This is not mine, it's Mayura's. She is only letting me to keep it for her," Loki answered arrogantly.

"Those who stay close to you shouldn't associate with magic," Thor talked back. "That's why I'm going to take it. Or, you return to Asgard. Now!"

"Didn't you say you're going to give me a week to think?" Loki asked. "You should come to have my reply in two days. Not now, Thor."

"Tch!"

"Here, take it. You know I can still have a nice life without magic. Give me the other one," he said. "She'll get mad if I lose this ring."

"Remember. You're going to answer me in two days. Or there will be no other chances to return to Asgard," Thor reminded him. "I'll give you some power to talk to your kids. Maybe they can help you."

Loki turned his eyes to his kids. He heard them said, "Father."

When he looked back at Thor's direction, Thor had already vanished from his sight.

Well, this is it, the end of chapter 4. Sorry for the super late update. You know I'm stuck, like what I told you guys earlier. This fic is going to end soon. I hope I can finish it quick so that you guys wouldn't have to wait for too long. But, you know me. When I'm not in the mood to write, I couldn't write anything or I could write and the result is really bad.

Recently my spirits on writing suddenly goes up and in less than a week (or more?), I have made a new chapter for my Kyou Kara Maou fic, 2 Kuroshitsuji fics, and this chapter.

I think that's enough from me. I hope you like this chapter. Reviews are always welcomed!

Thanks for reading this fic! :D
