Knowing that Loki cared for me almost as much as I cared for him made me feel a lot better. That horrible feeling I had when I was around him vanished and all I could feel was pure and simple happiness.

Loki was walking me home when we passed by his house. I stopped walking and gave a good look at the house. Loki stopped as well and asked me what was wrong.

"Nothing wrong..." I almost whispered, opening the gate and walking in. Something was wrong there, someone was calling me.

"Mayura-chan..." Loki called, following me.

I stopped in front of one of the many trees of Loki's mansion and watched it, amazed. Something there was whispering orders in my ears. I opened my arms involuntarily, still looking directly to the tree.

"Poor kitty..." I said. I wasn't sure why I was saying that. The words just came to my mouth.

"Mayura..." Loki looked at me suspiciously, as if he check if I wasn't possessed by something. He didn't do anything, so I guess there was nothing possessing me. Loki looked rolled his eyes as if he knew what was coming: a mysterious moment. "Kitty? Which kitty?" he asked in monotone.

"That one..." I answered, closing my eyes. Suddenly a kitty started levitating toward me. When it was in a safe altitude I grabbed it and smiled. "There, there, kitty, now you're safe!" I put the kitty on the ground and turned to Loki. "Ok, now I can go home."

"Mayura... how did you... do that?" he asked raising one of his eyebrows.

"Do what?" I asked, confused. I could barely remember what had just happened.

"The kitty. How did you make it float?" Loki insisted in a suspicious tone.

"Actually I am not very sure, Loki-kun..." I answered, crossing my arms and looking up to the sky. Loki sighed loudly and grabbed my hand.

"You're staying here tonight." he said, dragging me into the mansion.

Why was him forcing me to stay there? A tiny voice inside my head told me to go away, he couldn't control me. Just because I was his future wife? I pulled my hand.

"Why? Just because you want me to?" I asked aggressively. Loki opened his hand and his staff appeared in a second. He pointed it to me and I felt dizzy. Everything went black very fast and I fainted.

[Loki's POV]

I put Mayura in my bed. She had used all her power to "save" that kitty, she had no control upon it. She didn't have control of her own body at all. It's hard to see someone you love suffer, and it's even more painful when you know it's because of you.

Yamino walked into the room and looked at me with a worried expression. "Loki-sama... what happened?" he asked.

"I think Odin found out about Mayura." I answered, closing my eyes. "And I think he 'awakened' her hidden power. She always had one, of course, but she wasn't able to use it."

"That can't be good for her, Loki-sama. Mayura-san has no idea how to use energy. Besides..." Yamino laughed a bit. "She already wastes her human energy with mysteries instead of studying. Do you think she can control any other kind of energy?"

I watched as she slept peacefully. Using my magic I created a thin barrier so Odin would have some trouble to getting into her body, if he ever tried again. He could still take over her body, or anyone else's. But then I could at least notice and fight against his power.

"Loki-sama..." Yamino called, and I returned to the 'real' world. "I'll call you when Mayura wake up." he said.

"Don't worry, Yamino-kun, I'll stay here." I smiled and closed my eyes again. I heard the door open and close.

I waited hours and hours but Mayura wouldn't wake up. I started wondering if I had used too much energy on her.

When it was almost 8AM, and Yamino brought me some tea, Mayura moved a little. I got up quickly and sat on the bed beside her. She opened her eyes slowly and turned to me.

"Loki-kun?" she asked. "What happened?"

"You used your energy to make a kitty float and fainted."

"Oh, right! I almost forgot." Mayura smiled and sat up. She opened her mouth to speak but then noticed the look on my face. If there's something I can't do is hide my emotions. I could hide them a little and some people wouldn't notice, but Mayura always knows what I'm feeling. And too bad she was the one I was trying to hide my worries from. "Something wrong?" she asked.

"No... not really." I said, averting her gaze.

"It's because of last night. I'm not supposed to make a kitty float, am I?" she asked, with a smile on her face. How could she always be so happy about everything? Couldn´t she see how bad that was?

"Mayura... you don´t understand."

"What is there to undestand?" Mayura blinked a few times and rolled her eyes. "I can´t think of anything."

"You've found out you're my future wife, that must have waken your powers. But you have no idea how to control them, and so you use them with no control at all. You might waste all your energy meaninglessly, which might cause you to colapse and, well, die." Mayura's eyes widened for an instant and then she just sighed.

"Teach my how to control this strenght, then, Loki-kun." she said.

"It's not that simple. You have to learn how concentrate 10% of your energy on your hands first and then-" I stopped speaking and noticed Mayura was making a circle with her hands. She directed it toward the open window and stared directly to the circle. "Mayura... what are you..."

A small amout of energy gathered in her hands forming a small ball of light pink energy. Mayura smiled proudly and released the energy through the window. I looked at her with a puzzled expression, raising one of my eyebrows.

"I saw that once on Dragon Ball Z." she explained, pointing to the window the esfere had just been fired through.

"Well... that makes things a lot easier." I said, sweatdropping. Mayura gave a little laugh.

Ecchan came into the room and flew toward me. Mayura followed Ecchan's moves with her eyes.

"KAWAII!!! A MYSTERIOUS PINK SHIKIGAMI!!!" Mayura yelled, grabbing Ecchan by the "tail" and hugging him/her (???).

"You can see Punyan-san, Mayura-san?" asked Yamino quickly.

"Now I think I can!!" she stared at Ecchan with a wide smile on her face. Yamino lowered until he was close to my ear and whispered:

"How did she know Punyan-san is a Shikigami?" he asked.

I shuddered. Mayura was proving to be weirder than I thought - she was accepting the whole situation too easily. That's one of the reasons why I didn't tell her about Odin controling her, or about how the Gods were furious with me. I decided to wait, wait until she decide to question me about all that details. Just telling directly could've been too much for her head.

After Mayura left I headed down to the basement. The room was filled with jaki (dark energy). It was the only thing that could make me an adult again, besides going back to the world of Gods.

I had collected as much as possible to turn again into an adult after the last time, which was actually an accident. I had collected enough for 9 or 10 hours, not much. And I wanted to use it in a special ocasion. I had no idea when that special ocasion would be, but I knew with who it would be: with Mayura.

But nothing perverted. I thought about another "date". This time something serious, though. We could walk hand in hand and people wouldn't think she was my older sister.

That could also bring many more problems. Odin knew I had told her, but he wasn't completely sure whether she had believed or not. And that would be enough evidence she had. What Odin'd do then was still unknown to me. He would try interfering for sure. Why I had no idea. He could dislike (most likely hate) me but Mayura didn't have anything to do with that.

He could think she was a weak spot or something, but why would he attack me himself? He had only sent other gods to attack me until then.

I had too many doubts to risk anything. First I needed answers.

[Mayura's POV]

Loki-kun decided I should train with him every day after school. I was a bit disappointed I had to train that powers. I didn't really think I was going to use them.

But I couldn't decline, for Loki-kun seemed to be very worried about that. And so I went to the agency that afternoon. Loki was already sitting on the front door

"Konnichiwa, Loki-kun!!" I sat beside him and hug him by the neck.

"Konnichiwa..." he greeted softly. Too softly.

We both got up and Loki started his lecture. He took his weird named magic staff and pointed it to many targets he had prepared earlier.

"What I know so far about your magic is that you can control you Chakra. You can concentrate this energy and: a) attack b) protect yourself c)encrease your physical streght."

"Like flying and lifting caaars!!" I said excitedly, pretending to lift a car with my right hand.

"No. Like jumping higher and lifting rock." Loki explained, harshly. "What you have to learn is only how to concentrate your energy, and then you can just create your techniques if you want." Loki looked at me waiting for my reaction.

I pulled up my sleeves and grinned. "Let's train!"

We trained until 8PM, when Yamino finished cooking dinner for us. By then I could already fire 20cm chakra balls and concentrate energy in any part of my body, but I still couldn`t use it.

We sat by the table and I started eating right away. Loki-kun was sooo weird! He was very quiet and thoughtful. And he was also mean to me during "class". As if he wanted me to be perfect at controling chakra. But couldn't! I had horrible grades at school and I went there everyday. Why would I be good at something I had never heard about before the last 24 hours?

"You made a lot of progress today, Mayura-chan." Loki said all of a sudden, getting his chopsticks.

"You really think so, Loki-kun?!" I asked, with my mouth full of ramen.

"Mm-mm..." he nodded, with a weak smile.

"Loki-kun~" my eyes filled with tears and Loki stared at me surprised. He was about to ask me what was wrong when I got up from my seat and jumped on top of him, pushing his chair backwards and throwing both of us on the ground. Yamino and the PinkThing-san sweatdropped. "YOU DON'T THINK I'M STUPID!!!" I crying happily, hugging him.

"M-Mayura!!" Loki flushed and, at the same time, looked annoyed. How could he mix emotions so easily? Weeeird...

After that I can only remember I was speaking very fast about how happy I was. I can't remember what I said, but I can remember Loki's expression very well. How can that be? Well, he was smiling and watching me, without making a sound. He was just watching me. When I finished he smiled. But not the weak smile of before, a smile of determination to do something.

I went home at 9PM, feeling glad to know Loki-kun didn't think I was stupid or anything. He was even proud of me! That made me even happier.

From his room Loki watched me walk down the street. I wasn't very sure why, but I had the feeling he was hiding something from me. If it was something good, bad or both I wasn't sure. But I had a bad feeling about it.

tbc...
