When I arrived at Loki's mansion the next day after school the door was open. I walked in and called Loki's name as loud as I could, but no one answered. I walked up the stairs and went toward Loki's room. When my hand touched the doorknob I felt a little dizzy and had to hold myself to the doorknob to stop myself from falling. I had a bad feeling.
I turned the doorknob and slowly opened the door making almost no noise. I jumped slightly when Pink-Thing-san flew right in front of me and then went toward Loki's tall chair. My eyes widened when I looked at who was sitting on that chair.
Plain red velvet clothes and light brown hair, and beautiful eyes I had no idea whether were dark green or light brown with a touch of green. The most handsome face I had ever seem and- HEY! OF COURSE IT'S OLDER LOKI-KUN! WHO ELSE WOULD IT BE?
"Loki-kun!!!" I smiled happily and ran toward him. Loki got up and I hugged him, resting my head on his chest. "You look so good!"
"I thought you weren't going to recognize me!" He said in playful tone.
"But I did." I said, letting go of him. "How did you turn back your appearance?"
"I just used some jaki. It's temporary, so I guess we should enjoy it." Loki smiled. But his smile was very different from when he was in his younger body. I could almost call it a wicked smile, or even naughty. I raised one of my eyebrows and pushed him away from me.
"You perverted trickster God!!!" I shouted, pointing a finger at him. Loki sweatdropped.
"You're the one who was malicious here! I didn't mean anything like what you thought."
"Oh...right."
We decided to go walk around, don't do anything in special. Just spend some time together. And I wanted to show him around too. It's not everyday that I can walk with such a gorgeous guy hugging me. He was definetely a God, in a holy way and in a "appearance way".
I thought I would have to speak very loud my name and Loki's, or just laugh really loud so people would look. But I didn't have to. From the moment we stepped outsite the mansion everyone was already staring. Other school girls whispered to each other as we passed. Some other followed us, but Loki always ignored them. He was speaking all the time to me, looking to me, just to me.
We walked for some time and then we went to the first café we found. I was eating a piece of strawberry cake and Loki was only drinking tea. I didn't know someone could look so good drinking something. I ate a big piece of the cake and laughed telling Loki something funny Papa had done.
"Then he was running and hitting the boys with his broom and-" Loki moved toward me, until his face was inches from mine. He touched my cheek the back of his hand.
"Your mouth is dirty." Loki explained, whipping some of the white cream with his hand and then licked it off. "It tastes really good."
"Y-You should get one for you too... or if you think it's too much, we can share mine." I blushed, looking down to my lap.
"No... it only tastes good because it was on your cheek." Loki gave another one of his wicked smiles and I blushed even more. He was moving slowly toward me again when I heard some whispering.
"How can that girl be with such a cute guy?!"
"Oh my God! And she ate all that cake! Her face was all dirty! Such a fat pig."
"She doesn't deserve him. She has no class!"
"Wow! He's handsome but... he has a bad taste on women."
I got up quickly and left the café. They were right, I wasn't good enough for him. Loki's a God with a great appearance and a perfect personality. So perfect it's full of perfect-inperfections, if that's possible. And I was in love with him, but he shouldn't be with someone like me.
Loki walked through the door seconds after me. I couldn't stare him. I only deserved to look at his feet.
"What's wrong?" he asked softly. It was obvious he already knew what was wrong! He wasn't deaft afterall!
"Nothing is wrong, I just realized something." I explained.
"You care for what people think? They're probably just jealous." Loki laughed, putting his hands on my shoulders. "Let's go."
"It's not because of them Loki-kun... I know they might be just jealous but I really don't deserve to be with someone like you." I said, lifting my head to face him. "You're perfect. And you're a God. It doesn't matter if it's written in some sacred book that we're husband and wife... and it doesn't matter I have 'powers'. I'm not good enough for you!"
"I agree!!!!" shouted a feminine voice. I turned around and I wasn't surprised to see Freya placing a hand on my shoulder, pushing Loki's off. "Mayura, dear, you have PINK hair. You only wear a school uniform, everyday... you're not good for Loki."
"Now just because you said that I won't run away crying..." I said.
"No,no,no! Go ahead!" she let go of my shoulder. "Run! You look be-au-ti-ful when you leave a place. Even more when you run really fast!" Freya clapped her hands. "So? Run! Go! Shoo! Go!"
I looked at Loki-kun and smiled. I wouldn't run, Freya wanted me to run. So I'd leave in a gracious way.
"I'm not feeling very well, Loki-kun... I think I should just go home." I said, crossing the street quickly and walking to a random direction.
For how long I walked I'm still not sure. But the sun was already setting. And I didn't think of anything in special. I didn't think about Loki-kun, or about me. Saying over and over in my head how much Loki-kun didn't need me would be like BEGING for him show up again and declare his undying love for me.
But that was not what I wanted, so I just forgot about the whole thing and kept walking.
"Ohhh... it's already that late?" I thought. Wondering where I was. Right in front of me was Midorigaoka Park and that meant I was very, very far from home. "Great..." I muttered, giving a loud sigh. "How do I get home now? I know I'm far but... I don't walk around here often... nooo~..."
"Need some help?"
Even when I don't beg him to show up? Damn.
"Loki." I said, looking to the opositte direction from where he was standing.
"Why are you making so much drama? Because this is drama, you know." Loki stated, crossing his arms over his chest.
"It's not that, Loki-kun! I really think I'm not good for you, and I know I can't change! Even if I try my best." I looked down to my feet. "Maybe you should ask Freya to be your wife, you know. She's much better than I am."
"Freya? Do you hate me that much, Mayura?" he asked. I laughed loudly.
"Sorry." I said, covering my mouth with my hand, embarassed.
"You look really cute when you laugh..." he whispered, right next to my ear. When he approached me I'm not sure.
"What are you saying?!" I exclaimed, blushing.
"When people look at you they see you're not perfect. You're a mystery freak, you hang around a detective agency, you're not the cleverest girl ever, you're always so full of energy that it's almost annoying... you're full of inperfections." Loki touched my face with his warm and soft hand. "But all these little things amuse me and show me how much I've changed, they show me exactly what I wasn't until I met you: happy. You brought me happiness, Mayura. You're perfect to me." Loki lowered his head until his lips were almost touching mine. I blushed but didn't pull back. "I lo-" A sudden burst of light blinded me. I screamed, trying to hold myself to something... useless. I fell on the ground.
When I opened my eyes again Loki-kun was laying beside me, in his child body. I kneeled beside him and hugged him close to my chest. I thought it had something to do with the jaki and all but when I heard steps behind me I figured it wasn't exactly because of the jaki. I turned my head around and saw a beautiful woman.
Her hair was longer than mine but it had the same color. Her dress had long sleeves that covered her whole hand. The front of the dress was plain white with little diamonds every where. When the dress reached the middle of her thigh it separated in two parts and when down until an inch before the ground. She smiled at me kindly.
"Listen to me, Mayura." she said, stepping closer. "Listen carefully, please. Do what you're told to and go with Loki. Stay beside him, always. Even when things go wrong."
"I would never leave Loki-kun if he was in trouble!" I protested.
"I know that, dear." she smiled kindly at me and gave a step backwards, and then another, and another, very slowly and gracefully. Every step she gave made her less and less visible to me. Soon I could hardly hear her voice. And then when I heard someone else aproaching she said in a last audible whisper. "Go with them, Mayura-chan..."
I turned around to face who was coming and found myself face to face with another beautiful lady. She had short really light blonde hair and charming baby blue eyes. She had no clothes, just a strong light that made it impossible to see her body. She stretched out her hand and smiled.
"It is time. Let's go."
I tried to concentrate energy in my hands... useless. I was under so much pressure!! Evil ladies coming to give me advice and then to take me somewhere? No way I was going!!! But then I remembered about the previous lady, the one I found the prettiest. She had told me to do what I was told to. Maybe...
I got up, Loki in my arms. 'How can you call yourself a God and just faint like that, Loki-kun? Leaving me here with a shining lady', I thought, but quickly turned back my attention to the woman.
"Let's go, then." I said determined, grabbing her hand.
The light around her body intensified and surrounded us both. My feet lifted from the ground and I felt very empty inside. Before I could even think of how weird was the feeling of beeing teleported or something, my feet thouched the ground and I opened my eyes.
We were in such a beautiful place! It was just like an old greek city. Everything was built with white rocks, or whatever that was. Everyone looked peaceful and happy with their pretty white clothes. The sun shined above us in a clear blue sky. There wasn't even a single cloud.
The lady that brought me to that place was right in front of me. Her hair was tied in a bun and her clothes were just as white as everyone else's. She smiled just like before.
"M-Mystery..." I stuttered, putting on my 'Mystery Glasses'. The woman laughed and I took of my glasses quickly, flushing slightly. But I quickly asked something that was bothering. "Er... I'm sorry but... where are we? And who are you?"
"Oh, I'm sorry for not saying anything." she covered her mouth with her delicate hand and closed her eyes, something like a japanese girl from the nineteenth century. But quickly she turned again to a more formal posture and cleared her throat.
"I'm Frigg, welcome to the World of the Gods."
