(A/N) I know it's been a while since my update. It's because I got no time to finish this chapter and there's been not enough review for me about this story. Well anyways, this is a new chapter, I know my grammar sucks, and the chapter waay too short for any reader to be satisfied. But I'm still new. So any critics would be apriciated! :)

The vast sea lies before them. Sunlight reflected on the surface of the water, shimmering like myriads of diamonds that comes back and fort with the wave. The seagulls squawk faintly heard in the distance. The light sea breeze blows in their face.

"YAYY! BEACH!"

Mayura shout at the top of her lungs. She trotted toward the sea while hurriedly taking her shoes off in her way. The so called Mr. Detective stand at the shore behind her, He smiles looking at her running along like a child and sigh, but follow her then.

Mayura start playing in the sand, burying her feet and feeling the warm sun in the sands. She always loved the beach, especially on a nice day like this.

"Mayura!" he calls her. She turn her head in the direction of his voice, "haai*-?" splaaashhh! he splash a handful of sea water to her face, she was dumbfounded and couldn't response immediately.

"Hahaha! You should see your face, Mayura!" He laughs hard, right hand pointing at her face, while the other hand wrapped on his aching stomach.

Mayura shakes her head for the excess water on her face and turn slightly red "You meanie!" she sulks while puffing her checks to him.

"Ahahahah—cough cough" He coughing hard for a moment, "Choked..on spit.. cough". She sweat-dropped looking at him.

"Pffthh!" she held her chuckle but quickly back to her sulking face "Playing water is for kids, Mr. Detective. You're so childish, even tho you're an adult. If you go to the beach, you should buil-"

"A sands castles.." he cut her off.

"… Yeah!" Mayura blink and enthusiastically start making her sand castles.

"Yeah…" he said with a weak smile, but his gaze betray him and shows the forlorn he holds deep in him . Mayura notices this but avoid his gaze and keep herself busy with her sand castle, or rather.. Pile of sands.

He then sits on the sand beside her, looking to the opposite direction towards the sea. There was a silence between them. Not an awkward silence, a kind of silence that's comforting and peaceful.

squawk squaawk The seagulls squawk could faintly be heard from the skies filling the air around them, and the sun starting it's way down to touch the horizon. They were like that for a moment, before finally, she breaks the silent between them,

"Ne, Mr. Detective, Is it strange that I feel like we've been here before?" Mayura ask him with a puzzled look facing at him, observing his silhouette before her.

"Mayura…." He turned to face her, their eyes meet. The sunset illuminated her eyes that holds confusion and a hint of sadness. He looked down so his hair and the shadow hid his eyes.

"OH never mind! It must be just my feeling! Hehehe" She said with a big grin. He quickly looked at her with a dumbfounded expression.

"Oh what's wrong Mr. Detective? You look a bit pale?" Mayura titlted her head

"… Ah. Nothing." He manage to say but still dumbfounded. He let out a small smile in the corner of his lips 'Mayura is still Mayura after all' he thought.

"Let's go back Mayura. It's getting dark soon." He gets up from the sands and patted his pants to let the sands fall.

"eeeh…?" She put her sulking face, "Okay, Loki." while standing up and patting her skirt from sands.

He froze in his track, "What… Did you just called me?"

"Hmm?" Mayura looked at him puzzled by his reaction.

"What did you just called me?" He repeated his question with a stern look on his face.

'What did I just called him?' Mayura thought. "Eh.. 'Mr. Detective'? I guess.."

"Who's Loki?" He asked again.

"Eh? Who? I called you 'Mr. Detective' like always. You never told me your name after all.." She puffed her cheeks in sulking mode, "Is 'Loki' your real name? Is it? Is it?!" Mayura rambling in excitement by this newfound name.

"No, it's not." He continue to walked and inhale sharply, "It's just, someone I knew."

"oh.. okay.." Mayura follows while looking down to her feet.


Mayura's POV

'Loki.. Who's Loki? Did I really just called him that?'

'I don't know a person named Loki. How can I mistaken Mr. Detective with someone I know nothing about?'

'eh? But Loki is… wait. Who's Loki?'


Loki's POV

'Did the runes starting to get loose? But it's Freyr's runes.. It's impossible, it's too soon.'

I sighed and keep walking. 'Eh? Why do I feel excited?!'
