Ahh… I'm running out of brain juice… can't seem to think… Just had a long weekend, so I forgot some of my earlier ideas. And I lost my notes on Thor and Heimdall… argh! I don't wanna have to search for info again, so I'm just gonna use what's left in my head. And new ideas have to start forming right now! Get it, head? Brain? I'm going nuts here…

Ok… gotta admit. Mayura's impression of the Norse gods is somewhat my impression. But note that this impression is based on what's found in the original myth, not the anime. Everyone's super kewl in the anime!!!

I WANNA THANK EVERYONE FOR YOUR REVIEWS! So happy!!! It brightened up my day!!! Arigatou!

Anyway, here goes more of Thor. After Thor, I'll do Heimdall. So, Heimdall fans, hold on for a few days. Wonder if I should write about anybody else… Freyr?

As usual, any incorrect reference to the original Norse Mythology, pls correct me!

Jap notes: [1]Eto : erm… [2]megane: glasses man [3]kisama : a very rude term for saying "you" [4]Bakayarou : asshole/stupid idiot(it's a worse term than 'baka') [5]Hebi : snake [6]Kowaii : scary

DISCLAIMER: Matantei Loki Ragnarok and its characters DO NOT belong to me! Sigh… Loki…

TEA TIME CHAT

Chapter 4: Thor (2)

.

.

.

Mayura lifted her head and looked up at the sky. Strange… It was still so bright and sunny a moment ago…

All around the table, everybody had theirs eyes fixed on Narugami.

???Mayura hesitated and turned to Loki, saying: "Loki-kun, I think it's going to rain. Should we go into the house?

True, the sky was overcast all of a sudden. Everybody had a clear idea on what had happened, all except for the clueless girl.

"NANI??!!! What did you say? Why did you say that?!" Narugami was all worked up. He bolted upright and slammed his hands onto the table, leaning forward, over the table, towards Mayura.

Mayura held her hands, clenched into fists, close to her mouth. She looked intimidated, and squeaked: "But that's what I feel… I mean, a big red-bearded man, wearing iron gloves and a heavy belt, and rides on a goat-wagon?? God, it sounds like a madman on the loose! And he's so destructive!!! Destroying rainbows? Destroying bridges? Creating thunder to scare everybody? Yelling and raging at everybody, attacking anyone who defies him with his hammer… that's so barbaric!! He's insane!!!"

SPLAT!

.

.

Narugami fell face flat… into a huge mango pudding, which spurted onto Mayura's and Loki's clothes.

"Narugami-kun! What's wrong? You can't be that hungry right? You are destroying the pudding instead of eating it!" Mayura wailed.

This girl is evil. I swear that Daidouji Mayura is evil. Talking like this about me. And worrying about the pudding rather than me. Saying that I destroyed it… destroyed beautiful things. And not forgetting that she is more destructive. She must have spent too much time with Loki… influenced by his evil aura… Evil, evil, evil!!!Narugami had lost all of his strength to even get up.

Loki opened his mouth, ready to comment, but someone else beat him to it.

"Ahhh!!! My mango pudding! Made from mailed-ordered mangoes from Malaysia!" Yamino wailed too, tears pouring down his face. "I made a big one and was planning to cut it into many portions for everyone…"

"AHH!!!" Mayura and Yamino sobbed.

Loki eyed the two of them, and was planning on hushing them up when he noticed something else.

"Yamino-kun, why are you sitting there? I thought you were sitting on my right, beside Narugami-kun…" Loki looked to the empty space on his right.

"Eh?! Eto[1]… this is because… because…" Yamino stammered.

Narugami looked up, his face covered with mango pudding. "Yeah… why are you there? And you even moved your whole chair??" He mumbled, still extremely lethargic.

Yamino shrank back and forced out some laughter. "Eto… this… this…"

And Loki understood. Well, that's his son after all.

"Just stay there then." Loki began to wipe off any remains of the mango pudding stuck on his clothes.

"That's because he's afraid of a certain DESTRUCTIVE person," Heimdall snorted.

Narugami snapped up and yelled, "What?!!! Megane[2]… you! …"

Yamino yelped and pretended to laugh again. "Aha..ha..ha… that's… not true… not true…"

"Mou… Narugami-kun! That's enough! Yamino-san has a right to be angry after you DESTROYED the mango pudding that he worked so hard to make." Mayura reprimanded.

Narugami cringed. He couldn't take the word "destroy" anymore. He sat back down in total defeat and hugged his wooden sword for comfort.

"Now that I think of it… Narugami-kun, didn't you say that your wooden sword is called… Mi… Mio… eto… Ah! Mjollner?" Mayura asked.

"Yes it is…" Narugami looked at his sword sadly. "He's my buddy."

"But isn't that the same name as Thor's hammer?" quipped Mayura.

Loki was ready to answer her though. "That's because Narugami love fighting for justice too, like Thor. Remember what I've told you, Mayura?"

"Oh I see… that's really admirable…" Mayura smiled at Narugami, whose face instantly brightened.

"Is it?! See? Thor is an admirable god because he strongly believes in fighting for justice."

"Oh, but that doesn't mean that he can go around destroying things. What kind of justice is that? You had better not idolize him or be like him. Barbaric, I say…" Mayura replied in a warning tone.

Narugami's face fell again. Everyone remained silent, with some (like Loki) resuming to sipping his or her tea.

Then suddenly, "OH MY GOD!!!!" Mayura screeched.

"What?!" chorused the table.

"The book says here that Thor and Jashin Loki are best friends!!! It's no wonder Thor is not a good god, but a destructive, barbaric one. Friends with the Evil God?! That must be bad!" Mayura looked mortified.

Narugami glared sideway at Loki, a grudging look on his face. But Loki just shrugged his shoulders in return.

"And it says that he is a simple-minded god, often gullible, and Jashin Loki led him astray…" Mayura added. "Maybe that's why Jashin Loki was his friend. Either he got tricked into believing Jashin Loki was good, or that the Evil God befriended him because he was easy to play pranks on…" Mayura launched into her "probabilities".

Narugami looked extremely offended now. Loki rested his right cheek on his palm, elbows propped up on the table, looking very disinterested, thinking: It's not my fault that he's dim-witted…

"Yeah… he's stupid alright. Having a friend like the Evil God and believing in him. Only an idiot would do that." Heimdall commented over Mayura's words.

"Hei-m-dal-l… KISAMA!!![3]… I'm going to kill you. And at least I'm better off than someone who makes friends with a clueless, idiotic knucklehead. That's even more stupid." Narugami gritted his teeth.

"Nani?! I dare you to repeat that!" Heimdall glared at Narugami.

The two of them launched into this glaring competition.

"Hmm?? Heimdall, what are you getting mad for? What happened??" Freyr peered at Heimdall in concern.

"BAKAYAROU!!!![4]" Heimdall knocked Freyr off his chair, fuming.

"Ha! See? He's definitely a knucklehead." Narugami whistled, victorious.

"At least it's better than someone who doesn't know that he's being used…" Heimdall spat back at Narugami.

"Kisama…" Narugami prepared himself for another 'battle' again.

"Yes, Thor is stupid. And so are you, Higashiyama-kun." Loki said nonchalantly, noting that Mayura is still in her own world.

"Why you… shape-changing evil, despicable freak!" Heimdall growled, and so did Narugami. It looked like a fight was about to ensue.

"… He's irresponsible, forgetful and stupid! He could even lose his beloved weapon? And a giant stole it? I thought that he was supposed to be mighty and powerful. He lost to giants? How useless!" Mayura's words reached the three gods currently in a spat.

Narugami immediately looked ashamed of himself.

Mayura then burst out into laughter. "Hahaha!!! Thor and Jashin Loki had to dress up as woman to get Mjollner back? Hahaha!!! Thor disguised as Freya, the most beautiful goddess, to marry the giant?! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"

Narugami's face flushed red. Heimdall smiled in triumph.

"Mayura… haven't you read enough?" Loki was really getting very, very tired.

"Thor and Jashin Loki got tricked by giants? Utgard Loki?" Mayura turned to face Loki. "How come your name is so popular?"

"It's a nice name." Loki replied blatantly.

Mayura laughed again. "They got tricked by giants? Haha! I understand that Thor doesn't have much brain, but the trickster god got tricked? It's ridiculous! He should just retire from his position!!!"

Loki choked and sputtered. "Excuse me?! That…" But he didn't know what to say, because he felt ashamed too.

Narugami had turned into stone, and a gust of cold lonely wind blew past him. He had heard enough of people telling him that he is stupid.(comical effect, if you don't get it. I'm a failure…)

This is really enjoyable. That girl may not be that stupid actually… Heimdall was really enjoying himself, watching Loki and Narugami fall at the feet of Mayura.

Narugami hung his head low.

"Thor's greatest enemy is Jormungand… who's that? Let me see…" Mayura's face turned pale and she continued, her voice shaking: "Jormungand, the Midgard Serpent, is an enormous serpent that was thrown into the sea by the gods who were fearful of Jasshin Loki's children. But the monster had grown to such an enormous size that it easily spans the entire world. It lies deep in the ocean where it bites its own tail, and all mankind is caught within his coils…"

Mayura rested her head on the table, hands covering her head. It was difficult to make out what she was trying to say. "Hebi[5]… huge snake… kowaii[6]! I hate snakes! They are scary and disgusting and evil!!!"

Yamino cringed and looked at Mayura in disbelief. Although he knew that Mayura didn't know who he was, he still felt extremely hurt.

"The only good thing Thor does is to make sure that that snake doesn't harm anyone!" Mayura mumbled.

Yamino looked up to see Narugami staring at him. He felt a cold chill, and a shiver crawled down his spine. Shaking, he leapt up and shouted to no one in particular: "I'll go get more food and make more tea!!!" Then, he sped all the way back into the house, his arms flailing in the air above his head.

"Useless snake," Fenrir mocked.

"Fenrir…" Loki warned gently.

"Gomen, Daddy…"

Now Mayura's wishing for my family to be killed? What a clueless baka! Loki glanced at Mayura, patting Fenrir at the same time. Nobody's going to hurt my family…

"Mayura, can we talk about something else?" Loki asked.

"Yeah, yeah! Enough of this Norse Mythology… it's irritating," Narugami agreed with Loki.

"Nice to see that you two are such good friends…" Heimdall snickered.

Loki and Narugami glared at Heimdall. At this moment, Freyr raised up his hand, bobbing up and down in his chair, and asked: "Yamato Nadeshiko! Enough of Loki and Thor! It's Freyr's turn… and Heimdall's!"

Stars spun around Freyr's head as Heimdall knocked his head forcefully again. "KNUCKLEHEAD!!!!!!" Heimdall raged.

"Heimdall? Is there a god by this name?" Mayura frowned, ignoring the part about "Freyr's turn".

Loki felt a smile creep onto his face and Narugami had a determined look on his face too. They looked at each other for a minute, and then Loki turned to Mayura.

"Mayura, is there anything on a god called Heimdall?" Loki asked sweetly.

"Erm…" Mayura flipped through the book.

Heimdall was stunned. He had a bad feeling about this.

"Oh yes! Heimdall… the guardian god…"

The world stopped spinning. And Heimdall groaned inwardly. This girl is evil. She definitely is…

And that's what everybody thought so too.

End of Thor's part

.

.


Ahhh!!!!!!! I finally finished. Not sure if it's good though… And I didn't want to stuff in so much information about Thor, or it will be too overwhelming. So I took out the part on his wife and children.

Freyr's funny. And slow. But funny. I love using him to make things funny. Hahaha

Okay… will do Heimdall's part soon. Very stressed now… work… TT
