AN & DISCLAIMER: Okay, so its 1am and I'm typing this up on a nook. I'll go back and doc corrections later. In the mean time, enjoy what I've done to some one else's hard work. I don't own Loki, and the song is White Flag by Dido.

The tall Japanese man nodded to the thirty odd seniors that had qualified for the school trip. "Hello everyone, and welcome to th New York Metropolitan Museum of Art and History. My name is Yamino Futokawa, so please call me Yamino." He paused, his eyes searching the group for one familiar face, and smiling when he saw her. "As your teachers have no doubt told you, the museum is currently hosting one of Europe's most extensive collections of ancient religous art. The collection focuses mostly on Greek and Roman art with a smattering of Saxon, Pictish, and Norse collections mixed in. Now, before we start, I have to remind everyone not to touch anything." He smiled brightly. "All right, then, lets go!"

Mayura watched the tall man from dead center of the small crowd, a confused smile on her lips. "You okay, Mayura?"

She sighed as the brunette once again mispronounced her name. For almost three years she'd tried to convince the American that her name was not Maira. "I'm fine Becky." She smiled.

"Oh,okay. You were just staring at that Yamino guy like he was a snake or something."

They both turned to look at the man guiding them through the museum. "He just seems so... familiar... Like I should know him or something."

"Maybe you've run into on the street or something."

"Maybe..." Mayura agreed slowly. "But, I really feel like I know him. He likes shopping, and baking, and being helpful to the people he cares about, but he's... afraid of something..."

"Mayura?"

"I'm sorry." She smiled weakly. "I guess that's silly. And it doesn't matter anyway." She shrugged, tunning into what he was saying about religous influences on ancient Greek and Roman art.

They had passed through the majority of the tour before the feeling returned with a vengence. "The god Thor was the god of thunder, and is the most easily recognizable of the Norse gods simply because he is always depicted with his hammer. Now, who here can guess the name of the hammer?"

"Mjollnir." The strawberry blonde whispered.

"What?" Becky frowned at her as their guide continued to eagerly watch the group for raised hands. Mayura did't answer, her eyes rivited to the ancient mural in front of her.

Finally Yamino sighed in defeat. "Thor's hammer was named Mjullnir, and was made from the remnants of a fallen star." He gestured back toward the image of the god struggling with a great sea serpent. "According to Norse mythology, Thor's greatest foe was the Great World Snake, or 'Misgard Serpent', a snake that lived sat the bottom of the ocean and was so large it could fit the whole world in it's coils. Now, who can tell me the two gods depicted here?" He asked, gesturing to an ancient woven tapestry.

Mayura's feddish brown eyes flitted over the two deities locked in a fierce,6 never-ending battle. But she didn't see the woven threads. Instead her gaze was catured by two boys, no older than ten, fighting on a broken bridge in the midst of an endless sea. With a violent burst, the vision changed, and suddenly the smaller of the two boys stood in the rain, letting the falling skies mask his tears. His solemn green eyes watched her with regret, and another emoition she couldn't name.

"Ms. Daidoji, are you all right?"

She blinked up into the eyes of her art imstructor. "Mrs. Spencer?" She frowned, blinking away her confusion. "What happened?"

"You passed out." The woman informed her. "How do you feel? Did you hit your head when you fell?"

"No." Mayura said. I fell?"

"Yes. Do you think you can sit up, or are you stii dizzy?"

"No. I can get up."

"Mr. Futokawa, can you help me get her to one of the benches?"

"Certainly." The man smiled. Mayura glanced up at him and gasped as her vision swam. His short cropped brown hair and nondescript brown eyes seemed to waver as his features changed riht before her eyes. She glanced a Mrs. Spencer, but the woman seemed oblivious to the man's shifting appearance.

Soon the two had her sitting and the strangely familiar stranger had moved off with the rest of the students and teachers. "Mayura do you want me to take you back to the hotel?" The teen nodded as another dizzy spell hit.

Becky slipped quietly into the hotel room trying not to wake her sleeping room mate. "You can turn the light on." Mayura said softly. "I'm not asleep."

The brunette sighed. Carefully she set her things on the bed and then moved to the light switch. With a quiet click tbe room filled with a muted luminesence. "I got some stuff for your dad at the gift shop since you weren't feeling well."

"Thanks." Mayura said, rolling over to see the other girl.

Becky's eyes were filled with cncern. "Are you sure you're okay?" The American girl frowned. "I mean this isn't the first time you've passed out like this."

"What do yu mean?" The strawberry blonde teen demanded. "I almost never pass out!"

"Last year, on that fieldtrip to the aquarium you nearly fell into the crocodile pit when that eagle startled you and you fainted. Last summer when you went to the zoo with my family you passed out by the wolves. Now this? And how did you know about the hammer thing?"

I- I don't know." Mayura stammered. "I don't remember any of that."

Becky frowned. "Who is Loki?"

"What?"

"Who is Loki?" She demanded. "You call his name every time you pass out, and I've heard you crying for him in your sleep."

"I don't know." Mayura cried, suddenly fighting back tears. "I don't remember anyone called that."

Becky nodded. "Well, if I were you, I'd find out who this Loki guy is, and I'd kick his ass."

I know you think that

I shouldn't still love you

I'll tell you that

But if I didn't say it

Well I'd still have felt it

Where's the sense in that

I promise I'm not yrying to make your life harder

I'll return to where we were

I will go down with this ship

I won't put my hands up and surender

There will be no white flag above my door

I'm in love

And always will be

I know I left too much

Mess and destruction

To come back again

I cause nothing but trouble

I understand if you

Can't talk to me again

And if you live by the rules of "It's over"

Then I'm sure that that makes sense

But I will go down with this ship

I won't put my hands up and surrender

There will be no white flag above my door

I'm in love

And always will be

And when we meet

Which I'm sure we will

Our love will stand

Will be there still

I'll let it pass

And hold my tounge

And you will think

That I've moved on

I will go down with this ship

I won't put my hands up and surrender

There will be no white flag above my door

I'm in love

And always will be

I will go down with this ship

I won't put my hands up and surrender

There will be no white flag above my door

I'm in love

And always will be

I will go down with this ship

I won't put y hands up and surrender

There will be no white flag above my door

I'm in love

And always

Will

Be
