Flash back: Mayura announced that she had found a book on Norse
Mythology and that there's a god who shares a similar name with Loki.
Everyone's in shock.
Like I said, any incorrect mythological reference, pls
correct me!

CHAPTER 1 – Jasshin Loki (1)
"And even Fenrir's name is in it!" Mayura continued.
Loki gulped. Yamino, Fenrir
and Punyan were looking very, very worried. But, Heimdall snickered, thinking: This could be
interesting. Let's see how he handles his mortal girl.
Mayura, not noticing the change in atmosphere, took
out a huge book and dropped it onto the table with a loud bang. Loki glanced at
the title: 'The Encyclopedia of Norse Mythology: Gods, Goddesses and Tales'. He
gulped again.
"Erm... Mayura... Have
you read the whole book?" Loki inquired nervously.
"Whole book?! Loki-kun, can't you see how thick
it is? No... I've only read the most mysterious part... about the Evil Trickster
God, Jashin Loki. Because he shares the same name as
you, you see?" Mayura was practically jumping up
and down on her seat.
[At this point, I realized it's going to be hard to continue the story. Norse
mythology includes the parts on Loki being punished for the death of Baldur,
and about Ragnarok. And some parts are either being
denied or haven't happened in MaLoRa. Argh... well, Sakura-sensei changed some parts, so work
with me here... I'll erase some parts of the original myth and only talk about
selected areas. Keep in mind that Ragnarok has not
happened.]
So...
Loki started again. "Maybe you shouldn't read it. It's quite
nonsensical."
"Mayura-san has interest in such books? Kawaii... Girls who read such books are so attractive and
mysterious..." Heimdall smiled his brightest
smile at Mayura, an evil plan in his head.
Loki and Freyr glared daggers at Heimdall.
"Higashiyama-kun! I didn't know you like
mysteries! Loki-kun hardly has any friends(!!!) who
love mysteries!" Mayura blushed at Heimdall's compliment and replied happily.
Loki and Heimdall gaped at Mayura
and looked at each other with total disgust and loathing.
"So what did you read about the Loki in the book? And what do you think of
him?" Heimdall smiled at Mayura
again.
The rest of the gods looked curiously at Mayura too,
waiting for her to answer. Loki was feeling a little expectant, afraid,
anxious, worried... a mixture of feelings.
Mayura hesitated, deep in thought.
"He's a downright evil, devious, mean, jealous, twisted, irresponsible,
crafty, malicious, sly, indecisive, unpleasant, disgusting playboy and a big
creep!!!" Mayura was unable to carry on as she
needed to catch her breath.
All around, eyes widen in absolute shock. Heimdall too. Loki was frozen to his seat, unable to move or speak, his mind in a total blank.
Mayura flipped the book to the section on Loki and
continued, "Look. It says here that he is of the giant race, but became
blood brothers with Odin, the Almighty God. Thus, he was considered a god. The
other gods grew tired and angry at his constant tricks but did not dare to go
against him as he is Odin's brother. Jashin Loki, the
Evil God of Trickery, grew malicious and crafty, and caused the death of
Baldur, the God of Light, Joy, Purity, Innocence, Beauty and Reconciliation. Just because he was jealous of Baldur." Mayura paused for a moment. "I mean, someone who would
kill a god of light cannot be good, right?"
Yamino, on seeing and hearing this, tried to rectify
the situation. "Mayura- san, don't believe all
that the book says. It's only a myth right? Myths are usually untrue because
there is no way to prove them."
"That's right, you silly girl!" Fenrir
growled. (Barks to Mayura)
"But it's an encyclopedia, Yamino-san! Most of
it has to be true." Mayura argued. "And the
worse thing about him... (Loki snaps out of his shock)... is that he's such a
playboy! Are all gods like that?! His first wife was Glut, who bore him 2
daughters. Second wife, Sigyn, bore him 2 sons. Third
wife, Angrboda, bore him... what?!" A monstrous wolf, a gigantic serpent and the Goddess of Hell??!!
Eww..." Mayura turned
pale. She covered her mouth as if she was going to throw up any moment, staring
at the last line, unable to voice it out. It read: 'The Evil God also gave
birth to an eight-legged horse, Sleipnir, when he
used his shape-shifting powers to transform into a mare to sleep with the
stallion, Svadilfari."
Mayura turned green. She could feel the cake and
sandwiches and snacks making their way up her throat.
"Eisa, Einmyria, Narvi, Vali..." Loki
whispered softly, and sadly. "Hel."
Yamino, Fenrir and Punyan looked sadly at Loki.
"Eh? How did you know their names? I'm sure you didn't look at the
book," Mayura looked up quickly.
"Eh?!" Loki sweatdropped.
Mayura frowned. "I'm sure I didn't read it out
too..."
2 sweat drops.
"So??" Mayura persisted.
3 sweat drops.
Luckily, Yamino came to the rescue. Stammering, he
said, "Well... Mayura-san, Loki-sama... Loki-sama... (light bulb brightens)... he reads a lot you see? So he knows
a lot, especially since this god shares a similar name with him. Ne, Loki sama?"
"Ah... Sou desu. That's right." Loki
breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh I see..." Mayura turned her attention
back to the book.
"But Mayura-san, you were right. That Evil God
must be totally despicable, malicious and devious. He should be killed. This
kind of god deserves to die." Heimdall added,
smirking.
If looks could kill, Heimdall would be dead by now.
Mayura nodded her head (to Loki's
horror and disappointment), saying, "You may be right. Boy, I don't want
to meet this Loki (emphasizing on 'this' and pointing to the book). He's so
horrible. And is there even such a thing as evil gods? I thought gods should be
good, since... well, since they are gods!"
Loki's face fell. He was feeling terrible. What was
this feeling in his heart? Was it... hurt? Was he hurt by Mayura's
words?
Narugami had resumed eating at lightning speed,
competing with Gullinbursti again. But in between
mouthful of sandwiches, he mumbled: "Yeah right. Never want to meet Loki?
You even cried when he disappeared! For goodness sake!"
WHAM!
A plate crashed into Narugami's head. He glared at
Loki.
"Itai! [ouch!] What did you do that for?!" Narugami
shouted.
"Shut up." One look at Loki's eyes and that
evil death spirit looming behind Loki is enough to shut Narugami
up completely.
Loki turned his attention back to Mayura, who was
shocked to see a plate flying from Loki to Narugami.
"Well Mayura, you need not worry about that. I'm
quite positive that Jashin Loki does not want to run
into you in the first place." Loki grunted. "No, in fact, I'm very
sure he doesn't want to meet you."
Why am I angry?
"Why do you say that?" Mayura was puzzled.
"Because it is so."
Why do I feel disappointed
"Why?"
"Because you can be more chaotic than him, and get into more
trouble than him."
Why do I feel like I must defend myself? To explain myself to her?
"Huh? How do you know that?! I do not get into trouble! And I'm definitely
not as evil, despicable, cunning and malicious as him!" Mayura argued fiercely. "And to top it off, he is a
shape-shifting sex-changing freak!"
"Baka! That's one of his rare powers. That makes
him powerful! And how many times have I saved you out of the mess you made? And
do you dare say your mysteries don't always end up in trouble?!"
Why do I feel like I must hurt her in the same way she... hurt me?
Loki and Mayura glared at each other. Neither seemed to be willing to back down. The rest of the
gods just watched the heated exchange in silence, getting a little wary of the
outcome.
Mayura jumped up from her seat in a fight of anger
and slammed her hand on the table. "Well at least I don't go around
killing good gods or people, and I don't play stupid pranks on others, and I do
not start a war to initiate apocalypse(i.e. end of the
world)!"
Quick to respond, Loki argued back, "Baldur is not as good as he seems and
tricks are merely a way to liven things up, AND I AM NOT AND WILL NOT BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR RAGNAROK!!!"
The second the words were out, Loki clapped his hands over his mouth, realizing
what he had just said. Well, shouted... at the top of his voice. Everyone was
dumbfounded.
"This is bad..." Narugami muttered under
his breath.
"Nani?! What did you
just say?" Mayura was totally lost.
Large sweatdrops appeared on Loki.
Just as they were contemplating on how to answer Mayura,
her eyes widen in disbelief and her eyebrows were raised.
"Oh my god. It can't be. I don't believe this.
You... you..." Mayura pointed her finger at
Loki, who was panic-stricken and afraid of what she was going to say. Mayura was shaking. "You are... you are..."
Loki gulped and watched in horror as Mayura pointed
out who he was.
=To Be Continued!!!=
Haha! Will Mayura finally understand? Will she
uncover the mystery of "Loki- kun"?
LokixMayura: Loki's trying
to understand why he feels hurt, disappointment, warmth... Wanna
make him get jealous!!! I really like the part Heimdall
kissed Mayura and Loki was so shocked! Just can't get
over the part where Heimdall kissed Mayura. They should show more! And make Loki mad and
jealous! Haha lol. Not to mention that part
where Freyr tried to save the Mystery Club... Loki
pretended not to care but secretly followed Mayura.
I just lurve LokixMayura!
