Chapter 14: You Owe Me

It was two weeks later that month, when the first letter arrived…

"Special delivery!" announced an excited Narugami.

"Narugami-kun? Why are you doing deliveries? I thought you got a permanent job at the Twilight Café when master came back from studying coffee aboard. You didn't get fired did you? You seemed so happy at that place. And master really seems to like you."

"Oh no Diadouji-chan, everything is going fine at the Twilight Café. I'm just repaying a favor for a friend," replied Narugami. "A really big favor," he mumbled under his breath. "Here, this letter is for you."

"Haaha! I wonder what it is and who it could be from." Mayura quickly began to open the envelope. Narugami meanwhile sent an annoyed look at Loki. In response Loki mouthed "dress." This word seemed to have a magical effect on Narugami because he noticeably flinched and quickly turned away from Loki.

---Flashback in Narugami's Head---

"I need your help, Narukami-kun."

"What for Loki?"

"I've finally figured out how I'm going to prove to Mayura that what I feel for her is not a crush."

"How?"

"I'm going to be her secret admirer. And you are going to be the in-between."

"Whoa, whoa… wait a minute there Loki. I'm not going to do something like that."

"You owe me Narukami-kun."

"For what?!"

"Remember the time you lost Mollinjir, Thor?"

"No?" sweat-dropped Narugami.

"Well, then. Let me refresh your memory. You came rushing over to me one day screaming at me 'where did you put it!' I of course didn't know what 'it' was. But you kept on insisting that I must have hidden 'it' somewhere. Ten minutes later I was finally able to get you to admit that the 'it' you were referring to was none other than Mollinjir. And I had the dickens of a time trying to explain to you that I didn't hide Mollinjir on you." Alright, so on almost any other account Narukami-kun would have been right. But even I wouldn't hide the one thing that keeps my… over exuberant relatives on their side of the wall and in Jotunheim.

(A/n: Jotunheim is one of the nine worlds of Norse Mythology, and is the home of the Frost Giants.)

"You don't need to continue Loki…"

"Oh, but I have too… A day later, we got a ransom note for Mollinjir. To get it back, Freya would have to marry the frost giant who stole Mollinjir. By the way, what were you doing when he stole it anyway Narukami-kun?"

"I'm not going to answer that."

"Well, anyway… Freya obliviously refused to become his wife… not that I blame her. So guess who ended up dressing in drag to get Mollinjir back… hmm?"

"We both had to. And I was the one wearing the wedding gown. You didn't get kissed by the lout either!"

"You made me wear a dress, Narukami-kun…"

"I didn't make you!"

"With a low cut bodice."

"But it was your idea Loki!"

"What else were we going to do at that point? I didn't hear any bright ideas coming from you at the time."

"But… but."

"You owe me big time Thor."

"And you're cashing in now?"

"I've been saving it for a worthy occasion."

"How long?"

"As long as need be."

"No! I'm not going to agree to that!"

"I had to wear a dress."

"What about the time you had sex with that stallion? After that, I won't have thought you'd have problems wearing a dress."

"I was physically a mare at the time Narugami-kun, so it doesn't count."

"Well then, why didn't you become a female that time too?"

"Because I enjoy being male… a straight male at that. You don't know how many nightmares I have about that… sexual experience."

"But…"

"You owe me."

"Fine… I'll be the in-between."

"For as long as needed."

"For as long as needed."

---End of Flashback---

"I have a secret admirer? No, that can't be! It's so… so… mysterious and romantic." Mayura sighed in delight.

"I guess so Daidouji-chan."

"The letter says that to contact him back I should give a letter back to you. How long will you be doing the carrier service, Narugami-kun?"

"Until he isn't your secret admirer anymore, as I said, I owe him a big favor."

"Well then, I'm going to go to my room and starting writing a reply letter."

Author's Note: Thor and Loki in dresses. I laughed so hard when I first read about that. Couldn't let it out of the story.

To LittleGreenWolf: Glad you like the CCS omake. And thanks for the links. If you want translations for them, I'll send them to you. I couldn't help it. I had to translate them once I saw em.

To LittleGreenWolf: If you haven't seen the fan parody ReDeath, you wouldn't understand the omake at all… sorry. Those lines are what the characters of Eva say in the parody verbatim. The cast is:

Ecchan: one of the military guys
Thor: one of the military guys
Odin: Gendo
Heimdall: Misato
Freyr: Kaji
Loki: Asuka Shinji
Skuld: Misato
Mayura: Shinji

To Malster: Glad you liked it, and more if definitely a coming.

To Bibliomaniac:
1. He doesn't necessarily want to erase it, but definitely wishes he could change it.
2. Japan isn't really that conventional as a whole. Individuals and families on the other hand can be. And Mayura was probably brought up very traditional in some areas… being from a shrine family and all.
3. Loki never plans to tell her. He plans to use illusions to grow old because… mortals can't be made immortal.
4. Yes the immortal issue will be addressed but it'll spoil the story if I gave you any clues.
5. Yup exactly. Flowers, letters, presents. Although I'm only writing two letters. But you can get the general idea from them. (the story is already going to be long enough… trust me!)
