Chapter 7: First Remembrance

Loki silently opened the door to the room Mayura was in. “Mayura?” He said silently so he wouldn’t wake her if she was asleep. When he didn’t get a response he walked on in and closed the door behind him and walked over towards the bed. Pink hair was cascading down the pillows and part of the side of the bed. Mayura was laying halfway on her side and her back with the black satin cover over her. One of her hands was by her head and the other on her stomach.
Loki pushed some of her bangs to the side and she twitched just slightly causing him to stop. He smiled seeing that she didn’t wake, but he knew if she did he could probably say that he was in her dream and she would agree and lay back down.
“Loki…..” Came from Mayura’s mouth just faintly.
‘Did she just say my name?’ he asked himself and Mayura moved her arm and shifted the blanket so her upper half was out from under the covers. The top of her bra and her cleavage could be seen from under the shirt she was wearing where one of the other buttons had come undone.
Loki shook his head and turned and walked back to the door. He closed it just as gently as he had before and leaned against the door with his head against it. He was still in the form he had been in when Narugami and he were talking. “What am I doing here? I am Loki, the god of trickery. How has this mortal been able to snare me and keep me here?”
Loki sighed and leaned off of the door and went to his room. He was shutting the door when he heard a scream from the room he had just left. He reverted to his little self and ran across the hall and barged into the room to see a hawk screeching at Mayura and trying to get to her. Loki’s staff appeared and he pointed it at the bird and yelled “Vellmonoche.” The attack missed only by inches but the bird looked his way and headed towards the window before Loki could attack again.
Loki watched as the bird flew away and was caught off guard as he felt Mayura’ arms come around him. “What happened Mayura?” Loki asked as he looked at her. She was on her knees and it took her a moment to look at him.
“I… I don’t know Loki.” She said as she looked at him. He noticed there were a few scratches on her face and the shirt that she was wearing was ripped on the shoulder and there was blood coming through. “I was dreaming,” she blushed and looked away, and I was awoken from someone laughing. I looked around and next thing I knew there was a hawk coming after me.”
Loki’s staff disappeared and he placed one hand on her shoulder and the other placed some of her hair behind her ear and then traced the few marks that were on her face. “It’s ok Mayura; I am here at the moment.”
Mayura nodded and looked around. “Come on, I doubt you want to stay in this room. We can go to mine until Yamino can get another set up for you.” Loki told her and she nodded. “Besides, I will have to see if I can’t find you another shirt, that and your shoulder need's attending to.”
Mayura stood back up and they went across the hallway to his room. Loki sat Mayura on the bed and found another shirt like the one she was in and went to find the first aid kit while she changed. When he returned she had the new shirt unbuttoned more so the shirt could hang on her arm so the blood wouldn’t get on to it. This caused more of her cleavage to show and Loki stopped for a second and looked at her.
“Are you alright Loki-kun?” Mayura asked as she looked at him.
Loki nodded and walked over towards her more.
“That bird was such a mystery,” she said with a sparkle in her eye, “I wonder where it came from and why it attacked me.”
Loki smiled as he sat down on the bed In front of her and started attending to the wound. He had a hard time not looking the small ways to where the shirt didn’t cover at the moment. “So, you said that you had been dreaming before the attack. What about?”
Mayura blushed when he asked, ‘I can’t tell him I was dreaming about him, well, an older version like him.’ She paused, ‘actually, it looked more like that guy in the pitcher from earlier.’
“Well, come on. Out with it Mayura.” Loki said as he looked at her with an interested look. ‘Why isn’t she telling?’
“Well,” she paused as she looked at him, “You remember the guy from the photo earlier?”
“Hai,” Loki told her wondering what his other self had to do with it.
“I can’t give you the details because you are too young, but it involved him.” Mayura said and she looked away. “He still seems so familiar Loki.”
Loki smiled, “I see,” He saw Mayura look back at him and the look on her face turned from embarrassment to a look of confusion. “I’m not so young I don’t know what happens between men and women Mayura.”
“Oh,” she blushed again, “how old are you?” she paused, “I know I should probably know, but you only look to be around ten or so.” She paused again, “that man looks so much like you Loki-kun. So much he could be your brother.”
Loki swallowed, ‘I can’t tell her yet’ he told himself, “Don’t worry about my age Mayura. Just know that I am old enough to know what you dreamed of.”
Mayura turned her head slightly and blinked a few times and all of a sudden her hands flew to her head and she crumbled into the fetal position.
“Mayura?” Loki said in a high voice and he leaned forwards and placed his hands on her back, “What’s wrong?”
After five minutes of Mayura screaming and the bottom of her new shirt and the blanket on the bed were soaked did she start to settle down. “Mayura?” Loki asked again. He was honestly frightened at the moment, what was happening here?
Mayura finally lifted her head and looked at Loki and flung herself on him. Loki wrapped his arms around her waist as she started crying again, “What happened Mayura?”
After a few seconds Mayura sat back down and looked at Loki. “The doll, it had blond hair didn’t it?”
Loki looked at her confused, “what are you talking about Mayura?”
Mayura smiled slightly as she rubbed her head, “The doll you said first brought us together. It had blond hair. You didn’t believe me at first when I told you and I had a hard time believing Yamino-kun wasn’t the detective. I was looking for the doll after you turned me down and I had tripped. You came looking for me and helped me up.”
“Mayura…” Loki said as he started to smile.
“Then the festival, I showed you around the school because of the seven wonders and you solved them all, except the haunted suit of armor but it hasn’t acted up either. That’s when I met Narugami-kun” She paused as Loki pushed her hair back behind her ear again. “Then there was the case at the zoo, with the birds.” She paused again and he knew she was thinking about what had happened in the other room. “Then there was mystery thief Freyr, that’s where I met him.” She paused as she thought about Freyr for a second and then looked back to Loki, “then there was the case with Miss Reiya. And you were kidnapped Loki. Yamino and I had to find you.”
“You remember” Loki said as Mayura nodded and threw her arms around him again. “Do you remember anything else?”
Mayura shook her head as she looked at him, “No, anything else I still don’t remember.” She paused as she looked down. “The hawk from tonight, it looked like one of the ones from the zoo.”
“Hai Mayura. It does.” Loki said as he recalled Heimdall and what Narugami had said.
Loki looked over towards the candle, it had burned a third of the way down. The alarm clock beside it caught his attention, 1:30 am. “Mayura, you need to get some sleep. You still have school tomorrow.”
Mayura blushed again, “I don’t want to go back in that room Loki.”
Loki nodded and stood, “I will get yamino-kun and we will have another room cleared out for you Mayura-san.”
Loki went to turn and he saw he shake her head, “I don’t want to stay by myself Loki-kun.”
He stopped and turned back towards her, he kept his smile to himself, “then where do you want to be?” he paused for a moment, “if you want to stay in here you can, I can make a pallet in the floor beside the bed.”
She shook her head again, “I don’t want to run you out of your own bed Loki, that wouldn’t be right or fair.”
“Then what do you suggest?” Loki asked her, a smile playing on his lips.
Mayura hung her head as she answered him so she could hide her face. “Your bed is quiet big, and I don’t move a lot in my sleep.”
Loki starred at her for a moment, “you can stay in here tonight Mayura”
Mayura looked at him, her cheeks were very red, “thank you Loki.”
“Now lay down, you need your rest.” Loki said and Mayura nodded and got under the covers. Loki walked over to his dresser and pulled a pair of pj’s out and went to his bathroom and changed. Mayura was already asleep when he got out of the bathroom. He walked over to the bed and crawled under the covers, he lay there for a while watching the girl sleep. When he finally did give into sleep, he unconsciously rolled over closer to her and wrapped an arm around her waist.

A floral smell woke Loki. He groaned slightly and then noticed that someone warm and soft was lying next to him and fit perfectly against his body. Loki opened his eyes to see Mayura’s back against his chest and his arm over her waist. He pushed up and leaned on the arm that was under him and took the arm that was over Mayura and shifted her hair out of her face. Only when he went to sit his arm back on his hip did he notice that he had somehow reverted back to his older self.
Loki sighed and went to get out of the bed. When he was standing he looked at himself, the pj’s that he had been wearing where now ripped into shreds from the rapid growth through the night. He looked over at the clock; Mayura still had fifteen minutes before the alarm would go off. He headed towards the bathroom after grabbing his clothing and took a quick cold shower.
When the cold shower had done what it was meant for he reverted to his child form and dried off. He was in the process of putting his pants on when he heard the alarm go off in the next room. He slipped the white shirt over his damp hair and walked into the room.
“Papa,” Mayura groaned with her head under the covers, “five more minutes.”
Loki smiled as he walked over towards her, “Mayura,” he paused as he watched her body freeze under the covers, “I’m not your papa.”
After a few seconds she slowly lowered the covers just enough so her eyes were out from under the blanket and she looked at Loki, “H… Hai.” She was silent for a while, “I’m sorry Loki-kun, I didn’t remember b…” she started and Loki silenced her.
“I know Mayura-san,” Loki said as she sat up on the bed, “it’s alright. A lot has happened to you in a very short amount of time.”
“Arigato” Mayura said as she looked at Loki.
“You don’t have to thank me Mayura-san,” Loki told her and added to himself, ‘waking up this morning with you next to me was more than enough’ he paused for a moment and then sat down on the far side of the bed, “if you would like go ahead and get ready for school I will tell Yamino-kun that you are awake and to get breakfast ready.”
Mayura looked at him for a second and then stood and nodded, “alright Loki-kun, but I will need my uniform when I get out of the shower.”
Loki nodded, “I will fetch it after I tell Yamino-kun to prepare breakfast. I will lay it on the bed for you.”
Mayura nodded and Loki stood and headed for the door, “Loki-kun…” Mayura said as her head dropped as she looked at the floor.
“What is it Mayura?” Loki said as he started walking back towards her.
“What if something happens like what happened last night,” she said as she ran a hand over the shoulder that was bandaged and then looked back at him.
Loki stopped as he looked at her, “what would you like for me to do Mayura?”
She was silent for a moment, when she answered her cheeks turned a slight shade of red, “could you stay in here when I start getting ready for school in case something were to happen?”
Loki looked at her for a few seconds and hid the smile that threatened to show, “are you comfortable with me being here when you do that Mayura?”
She reddened a little more, “I’ll stay in the bathroom, the only time I’ll have to worry about it is when I need to get my uniform from in here.”
Loki was silent for a second and then nodded, “If that is what you would like for me to do then I will hurry and tell Yamino-kun and retrieve your uniform for you.” Mayura nodded and then he added, “I will be back shortly Mayura.”
Mayura nodded again and brought the covers up around her again as Loki walked from the room. No more than five minutes had passed when Loki had entered his room again, Mayura’s uniform in hand. He laid it on the bed so it wouldn’t get wrinkled and looked towards the bathroom. He sat his hand on the handle for a few seconds before he pushed it open slightly. Steam flooded out of the bathroom in his face.
Mayura was facing away from him letting the water cascade over her head. Her pink hair covered her backside but as she raised her arms to wash her hair she could see the roundness of her breasts and her hips. He fought back the urge to move closer as he watched her and closed the door as she reached for the shampoo.
Loki shut the door and looked back at the bed where her uniform was laying. He walked back to the side of the bed where the candle was and looked at it. There was no wax where it had burnt part of the way down. He looked down to the pitchers that Mayura had found… He bent down and picked them up and looked at them. Had her looking at the one of him in his original form caused her to start to remember?
Loki heard the water shut off so he placed the photos back into the bedside table where they had been. When he was finished he walked back over to the opposite side of the bed and sat down, waiting with a smile on his face for when the bathroom door would open.
Mayura opened the door slightly and stuck her head out, “Umm, Loki. I need my uniform now if you don’t mind.”
He smiled as he picked up her uniform, “and what if I do mind?” He asked himself in his mind as he made his way towards her. He stretched out his arm to give her the garments. The door required Mayura to open it more so she could retrieve her clothing and in process of doing so it showed how little the towel she was wrapped in at the moment covered.
Mayura wasn’t showing anything at the moment, the white towel she was wearing came up as if she were wearing a very mini skirt and covered most, but not all of her breasts. Mayura was very red as she closed the door again.
Loki looked at the closed door for a few moments and then sighed and walked over to his dresser and brushed out his hair. He looked into the mirror that was there and noticed that his face was just as red if not redder than what Mayura’s had been. When he was finished he walked to his window, crossed his arms behind his back, and looked outside until Mayura was dressed.
Mayura silently escaped from the bathroom and watched Loki for a few seconds, “Thank you Loki” She folded her hands together and started to twirl her thumbs.
Loki snapped out of his thoughts when she had spoken and turned towards her, “Your welcome Mayura,” he paused for a moment as he watched her and smiled seeing how she was still as red as she was in the towel. “As long as you are safe, that’s all that matters. I did promise you father that nothing would happen to you after all.”
Mayura looked at him and smiled. She stayed quiet for a moment as she looked at him, “I was wondering Loki,” she paused for a moment, “If the weather allows it, when school lets out, if we could go to the dojo and see what could be salvaged.”
Loki nodded, “We will see what can be done Mayura.” He started to walk towards the door, “Come, Yamino-san should be done with breakfast.”
