Odin was carried away, and now Loki was sitting on the stairs in shock. Frig had just decided that Loki would be king, which is more than what he wanted. Holding his head in his hands, light footsteps awoke him from his musing. Startled, Loki stood and looking harshly at the intruder only to hold in a gasp. Before him was the goddess of night. Her long raven hair was flowed freely down her back; her skin was a milking pale, which made her deep blue eyes pop. She was wearing a white dress with a black slash.

"My king." The goddess said lightly and she got to her knees and bowed her head. As Loki watched her, pride grew within him. "Kagome, you may say my name." Loki said as he walked closer to the beautiful goddess and admired her shapely figure.

Still kneeling, Kagome looked up to him and offered a small smile. "Loki, I wish to speak to you. It would be bad for prying eyes and ears to enter this room, so I used a concealment spell. Is that alright?" Kagome asked as Loki stood before her, looking down.

Ever since Loki was in his adolescents, he has had a soft spot for the young goddess. She was a hundred human years his junior, but that was roughly a year in Asgard. Nodding her to continue, Kagome rose from her kneeling position and continued to look in the eye. Loki noted long ago that she was a head shorter than him, but now being so close to her, he could see that she came to just under him chin. Perfect was the only word that he could think of to describe her.

"My king, I have seen something, something in a vision that had just been confirmed." Kagome spoke as she smiled sadly at him. Kagome has been a beautiful girl her whole life, many had asked her for her hand. There was only one god that was for her, and he was a prince. Now Kagome had been bright, and the possibility that the god of mischief thought of her more than just a friend was slim. She knew he studied black magic at night when he thought no one was awake. Being the goddess of night, she blanketed him in a black void when Heimdallr had tried to gaze at her price when he had been committing treason.

Loki had a curious gleam in his eyes and questioned the sorrow within her words. Resisting the urge to reach down and hold her, Loki chose to speak instead. "Tell me what you have seen." Kagome nodded her head and pressed a cool hand to his colder cheek, which gave her more confirmation to her new found discovery.

"The night whispers to me the deeds it had seen. I know of your secrets and your truth. Earlier today I came down here to find a relic that had called out to me. When I heard your approach, I hid within the shadows and saw you go to the Casket of Ancient Winters. I saw your true form and I saw the conversation between you and All Father." Kagome explained as Loki looked at her with a cold glare and stepped away from her, disgust written on his face. Kagome's eyes misted over as she kept her hand out, reaching for him.

"Are you to horrify by what you have seen? Do you wish to call me a monster, and attempted to take my life? Will you tell all who will listen and have me thrown from my own kingdom?" Loki shouted as he felt his heart ache, thinking of the goddess he had come to adore doing what he had said. Kagome gasped and let a few tears run down her face and onto her white dress. "My king! Loki I would never! I have protected you and would follow you to the brightest corners of the worlds!" Kagome defended her self and took a step towards him. Feeling despaired; Loki grabbed her roughly and looked down at her with demanding eyes.

"Oh such words coming from you; the goddess who I have been watching and waiting for! I have seen the way Fandral and Thor have been looking at you and your interactions with them. I know that Fandral has been planning on asking for your hand, when you had declined Thor. Pray, tell me why I should believe you?" Loki said in a rushed fury, hating the way fear crept into her beautiful eyes. Before Loki could use his silver tongue to lash out all of the sorrows and hate he felt, Kagome cupped both of his cheeks, and pulled him down into a passionate kiss. Surprised, Loki released his grip on her, only to wrap one arm around her waist and the other hand to press her upper back into his chest.

Once the need for air was greater for their burning passion, they parted and looked into each other's eyes. "Why not tell me sooner?" asked Loki as he pressed his forehead against hers, closing his eyes. Kagome was panting lightly as she moved her hands from his cheeks to his shoulders, "Because I was afraid that you would think of me as a weak female. And that you would break out friendship." Kagome said airily, loving the way his skin cooled hers.

"Let me care for you, Loki. Let me fix what wrong you have done and let me help you bring Thor back home so you may not be punished. And if all goes wrong, I will help you escape." Kagome said as she touched his neck with one hand, leaving the other on his shoulder. Loki thought about her offer, but the thought of being banished was not to his liking. The odds were against him, but he had something Thor or any other god could have, He had one of the most desirable goddesses as his. "It seems to me that we have a certain god of thunder to rescue, now doesn't it?" Loki said softly as he leaning into her touch.

*~*~Time skip~*~*

Everyone was celebrating Thor's arrival and Odin's awakening. Loki was sitting off in a corner as he observed the gods and goddesses praise his brother and father. Jealousy was about to wrap her hand around his heart when he felt a small smooth hand slip into his. Looking down he smiled softly at the amused goddess. Kagome was his darkness in the light, and she was his and his alone.

Odin had made his way over to the couple and gave a knowing smile. "Even though I had believed that the night would be more suitable for thunder and lightning, I can see how wrong I was. My son, you have my approval." Odin said with his strong voice as he nodded his head to the goddess and moved to his wife's side.

"I pity them, how mindless they are, not know that they were at your mercy. What a great king you will be one day when your brother sees that the throne is not his destiny and when he misses the battlefield." Kagome muttered as Loki wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her close, leaning down so she was tucked under his chin. Smirking when Thor looked at them, displeasure was visible in his expressive eyes as well as Fandrals.

"They envy your choice, my dear. I will wait for the day I can rule, as long as I have you at my side." Loki whispered as he kissed the top of her head and pulled her closer, tighter. "And I will serve no one but you, my king." Kagome said as she turned around, her white dress flowing, and placed her hand on his black with green shirt. She first looked at his chest, and then looked into his eyes with a bright smile. "I love you." Kagome said before she stood on her tip-toes to give him a kiss.

Kissing her back, Loki smiled and parted from her. "I love you as well, my queen."
