Chapter 4: Heckler

It had been a good week-and-a-half since Kagome had spoken to Loki for the first time. Though he had heard her speak before—since she frequently socialized with his brother in front of him—Loki found that her voice was much nicer when she spoke to him.

"You spoke to me once already, priestess. Is there any point in continuing your childish silence game?" He stared across the room at her; watched as she yawned and rested the back of her head against the door. "No use feigning disinterest, dear. You know as well as I that you are required to be absolutely alert at all times."

Finding that he couldn't seem to get a rise out of her, he stood up, and began to make the short trek over to her on the other side of his prison. "37 short strides," he recited in his head, "hollow bottom from strides 5 to 7, 15 to 17, 25 to 27, and 35 to 37. Most likely pillars; knowing the layout of the palace, I am probably above one of the secondary dining halls." Loki refocused on his surroundings at this point, surprised that there had been no blinding shock even though he stood less than two feet from Kagome. She stared him directly in the eyes, and he couldn't help but grin.

"Oh? You have never let me this close to you before. I believe you are beginning to grow fond of me, girl." He watched as she rolled her eyes, and took a breath to speak. "Well—"

"What's my name."

Loki boldly took a step further, and leaned toward her and smiled cheekily, cupping a hand behind his ear. "Sorry?" Kagome stared warily at his eager expression, but did not move an inch.

"I asked you if you know what my name is."

Loki stood up straight, and smiled, "I do."

"Well?"

"Why is it so important?"

Kagome pushed back on the wall she was resting against, and cracked her neck with a contented sigh, "Why shouldn't I just zap you back to your little throne over there?"

Loki took a step back, yieldingly lifting his hands up and together before placing them by his side. "Kagome," he said finally, "your name is Kagome."

ZAP

Loki sat, thrown back into his chair, winded and still tingling full of spiritual energy, "What in the name of—"

Across the room, he heard Kagome yawn again, "If you know my name, then use it, Loki."
