Freyr's corner:

(Hey everyone and welcome to part 1 of Freyr's corner. We will have one after each chapter to review the haps in the last chapters.)

"Phantomloki, that last chapter led our readers to the beginning of the story where Mayura won a trip, but why was my Yamato Nadeshiko going gaga over Loki!"

"Tsk, Tsk, Tsk. My dear Freyr the story has just begun. You shouldn't be pestering me about that. I control the future of the story remember."

"That… That.., um what does that mean for me and my Yamato Nadeshiko?"

(Blink… Freyr I can't believe you just asked that)

"(sigh) It means that hjhhfghghg…. Opps almost let that out."

"Tell me please!"

"No. you'll just have to be nice and read (hehe)"

"No!!!!!!!!"

"Enjoy my readers!"

Chapter 2: Keywords

The clock stroke seven and the shadows continued to grow. The golden sun started to descend as the moon started to take its place. The sky had a mixture of colors accompanied by the stars. Soon the street lights turned on and all of the houses on the street had turned on their lights.

((Where is she? She didn't come today as usual. I knew I should have followed her.))

Yamino placed a cup of warm tea on his desk to replace the one which had grown cold.

His father looked worried and he was betting as his mail orders that it was because of Mayura-san. "Loki-sama, isn't weird Mayura-san hasn't come?"

Off to the corner Fenrir was watching the window. ((Why can't Onii-san leave daddy alone, but he does have a point. I almost miss that mystery girl's shout about Fushigi Mysteries.))

"Yamino, do you think something has happened to her? I mean; she's highly prone to being possessed by sprits, she can't seem to stay out of trouble and worst of all she runs to anything that is a Fushigi Mystery!"

Etchan decided to enter the room at that moment and hovered to Loki's head and sat there. "Wat's the matter Loki-tama? Why the long face?"

Yamino sweat dropped. "Uh… well it appears that Miss Mayura hasn't come yet."

"But this has happened before. Why are you so worried this time Loki-tama?"

Loki blinked ((What? I'm worried over Mayura? Is this the feeling I feel every time she comes late? I must be getting too used to her, but then again…))Loki was interrupted from his thoughts as Fenrir spoke to him.

"Daddy! Mystery girl is here."

"Oh? Well then I guess we better prepare ourselves for a long explanation, Yamino?"

"I'll get the door; I'll be back with snacks." Loki smiled and decided to pick up his book.

Before he opened the book and Yamino opened the door, a pink bobbing thing ran up to them. She stopped moving and sat on a couch.

"Hello Loki-kun, Yamino-san and Fenrir! You won't believe what happened!"

Mayura looked at them like a child who knew something an adult didn't."

Yamino shooed Fenrir and Etchan out to leave them alone for a while… until they got snacks of course.

"I'll give you one clue and then you'll have to guess Mr. Matantei."

He sweat dropped and sighed and then gave her a sly look

"Well what is the clue?"

Mayura smiled, "Well, I met someone who is connected to my surprise. He has short brown hair." She grinned and crossed her arms. ((No way is Loki going to figure this clue!!))

Loki put his hand on his chin and rested his shoulder on the desk.

((Who indeed? Now who do I know that has brown hair? There's Freyr, Reiya, Tsubasa and Narukami. Well it can't be either Reiya or Tsubasa since Mayura had said he, giving me two clues instead. That leaves Freyr and Narukami. Freyr has a bit of shaggy hair and I don't consider it short, leaving…))

"Mayura…" She darted her crimson eyes at his deep emerald eyes and blinked.

"So do you know who?" Loki gave her a vampire smile and winked.

"But of course, from what you said I would say that Narukami is the person who was involved with your surprise."

Mayura blow her checks up and stuck her tongue out.

"How did you figure it out?"

Loki sighed. (( I won't tell her the mistake she made. I'll just tease her for making me worry about her))

"Why I'm a Matantei after all. I know all." He gave a sly smile and winked.

Mayura continued to puff her checks. "Yeah Yeah." She still continued to stick her tongue out but put a finger under her eye.

Loki frowned. "What does Narukami have to do with you being late? Please just get to the point of this unless there really is none."((I'm going to have to talk with him. He shouldn't have Mayura walking out alone especially with all those crazy people out there))

Yamino opened the door, carrying a tray with Etchan and Fenrir came in with a leash in his mouth giving Loki the puppy stare.

"Daddy! Daddy its time to walk me, don't forget just because Mystery girl is here."

Loki picked him up and smiled. "Don't worry, it won't take much more."

"Thanks daddy!!"

Mayura puffed her checks out. "Loki stop ignoring me! Do you want to know or not?"

"Oi, know what Daidoji?" Narugami came in and sat himself next to Mayura on the couch facing Loki.

"Well, well I see you don't plan on skipping dinner?"

Narugami smiled and pointed towards his stomach. "I don't plan on missing dinner after my part-time job I had today. I t was very busy at Dum Dum Doughnuts. So what's for dinner four-eyes?"

Yamino jumped and looked at him. "Um well, yes about that, we'll be having; Fillet of beef with rosemary mail ordered from Italy, summer beef salad with oriental dressing, crusty mustard chicken mail ordered from America. To drink we shall have warm spiced tea imported from India. And last for dessert we shall have flan cups mail ordered from Panama."

"Oi that sounds good. Is it done already?" ((Drool))

"Well um, no I still have to make the salad and put desert into cups." He looked over at Loki and sweat dropped

"What! Still not done, well get it done already so I can eat four-eyes!" He pushed him out of the door and all of them heard a tumble and a big crash.

Loki stood up and opened the door. "Yamino?" He glared at Narugami. Mayura swore that if looks could kill, Loki would be a murderer.

"I'm alright Loki-sama, just a bit of a tumble. Dinner will be served very soon."

Loki sighed and decided to step on Narugami's shoe.

"What the hell was that for?" Loki stared at him for a long time and then deciede to sit back down.

By now Mayura was very annoyed. ((Here I have the biggest news of the year and they keep interrupting me!)) Mayura stood up and looked at Loki with frustration.

"If you really don't want to know I'll just go home now and pack. Good bye!" Just as she reached the door knob Narugami slapped his hands together.

"That's right I almost forgot about that Daidoji!" Narugami smiled.

((What the devil are they talking about? Wait Mayura said she was going home to pack up. Is she…moving? No that's not it she's too happy for that.))

"Mayura are you going somewhere?" Mayura heard him and she sat back down. ((Yay! I guess I'll tell him after all))

Narugami laughed. "You won't believe her luck Loki. She won a trip to drum rollllllllll…." He put his hands on the Loki's coffee table to make sounds.

Mayura stood up and opened a piece of paper in Loki's face while screaming. "Mystery Island!!"

Loki's eyes widened and he grabbed the brochure with speed. "This island is called, Mystery Island?"

Both of them nodded and smiled.

"It's an island where you go and are given a packet of clues to solve some of the islands most awful Fushigi mysteries! You also (puts on swirly glasses) get to explore the islands seven wonders. And the best thing is that the week I'll be going, the island is going to have a ball room dance. The works and all!"

Loki sighed. ((This seems very odd. I have never heard of something like this, but these mortals don't have anything better to do so they come up with bright ways to cheat people of their money. But I can't stop feeling there's something wrong with this picture))

"….Loki-kin did you hear me?" Loki snapped back to life.

"Oh, pardon me. Can repeat that?" Mayura smiled.

"I won four tickets and I want you, Yamino-san, and Narugami-kun to come with me!"

"Wow Daidoji I'm honored. I accept your request!"

((He'll accept anything with the word free in it. But maybe accompanying her would be for best and I'm rather intrigued.))

"Mayura, what about your father?" Mayura started to fidget.

"I thought I told you… (lowers her voice) he went away to visit my mothers grave on his way to a Kyoto shrine were a dear friend of mine is requesting his help."

Loki's eyes softened up. He stood up and smiled. "Then if it isn't a problem with you, I also will be honored to accept you request."

Mayura's eyes lit up with stars.

"Really Loki-kun! This will be so much fun. Imagine all the mystery's we'll solve on our team. Oh did I tell you that we're up against everyone on the island, but with you and me, there will be no unsolved mystery!"

The door opened reveling a very bruised Yamino. "Loki-sama dinner is ready."

((Narukami you almost killed my son!)

Narugami pushed both Loki and Mayura onto the couch making Loki fall on top of her.

"Oi, sorry about that!" Then he turned around and ran downstairs with Yamino. "Fooood!"

Mayura felt her cheeks turn hot and warm. Loki had swirls in his eyes. (Since when do we have these very soft pillows that broke his fall?

"Um Loki-kun are you okay? C…Could you get off me please?"

((I'm on… and the softness…Oh my))

Loki stood up but made the whole thing even worse. "I'm sorry Mayura." he managed to whispered into her ear before getting up with another incident. He felt his face go warm and hot.

Mayura still sat on the couch her face beet red. ((No Loki-kun didn't do that on propose, he's only a child but…))

She put her hands on her face and stood up. "Um Loki I'll be leaving now. I have to go home and start to pack." She sprinted to the door but before she closed it she smiled. "I'll be here by ten 'Kay!"

Loki moved towards the door on impulse. "Mayura…I'll walk you home." ((She shouldn't be walking alone at night))

Mayura felt her face get even hotter. "No, that's okay I can manage! Thanks anyways. Good night." She ran out of the house in a blur. ((What happened back there?))

Loki stood there with a smirk plastered on his face. "Good night Mayura."

He went downstairs and saw Narugami, Yamino, Fenrir and Etchan with perplexed faces.

"What's wrong?" Narugami noticed his smirk and smiled.

"You naughty little boy." He started to laugh.

Loki felt himself losing patience. "Why do you call me that?"

"Oi, well we all saw Daidoji running out of here with a flushed face, and I just put two and two together. I can't believe you."

Loki walked towards him and leaned in his ear. "If I did do something it would be to poison your dinner for almost killing my son and it was your entire fault so don't you e calling me naughty."

He sat down and watched as Narugami fearfully touched his food, mumbling "He wouldn't would he?"
