Chapter 1: Her
Sudden Departure

The
alley lights flickered eerily in the dead of the night, casting distorted
shadow on the walls. A figure ran into the
narrow alley way, and looked around frantically. She moved quietly towards the
pile of boxes at the corner. She positioned herself behind the boxes so that
she will be hidden from view.

�Loki�.help
me� please hurry�.� she whimpered.

She
froze as she hears footsteps approaching her hidden place. �Kami
Sama�. Please don�t let him find me�� she closed her
eyes tightly and prayed.

�Why
do I always get myself into such mess?�

*****

Flashback

�Loki-kun�.Loki-kun��.
Have you seen the newspaper?� he heard her from his study even before he saw
her barged into the room as usual.

�When will you ever
learn how to knock before barging into someone�s room?� he sounded a bit weary.

�Nee�� Loki-kun, did you
see the news article on the murder of teenagers? It was said that bodies were
found all over the neighborhood. And the weirdest part is that it forms a shape
of a six pointed star. Fushigi Mystery!!!� Mayura exclaimed excitedly.

Loki frowned. �Six
pointed star? Occult? Most occult have that kind of symbol.� He was so deep in
thought that he nearly didn�t hear Mayura say they
are going to investigate it. �No. we are not going to get involve in this case.
Let�s leave it to the police to handle it.�

�But�But� They....�

�I said no, Mayura. This is a murder we are looking at, not some
mystery. So, don�t try to go investigating it.� Loki fixed Mayura
with a stern stare.

�Fine�� she lowered her
head to avoid his stare and sat down dejectedly on the sofa.

�You should go home too
before the sunsets. There is a murder on the loose; your father will feel much
better if you are home. Come I�ll walk back with you.�

�Hai��
Mayura signed as she followed Loki ,
Fenrir and Yamino out.

*****

As they were walking to
the shrine, Yamino was telling Loki about his newly
acquired gadget he got from mail orders. Mayura
quietly stared at the back of the small figure and wonder who he really was.

It was almost 8 months
since that day. That day when he had disappeared, leaving her feeling so empty
and helpless at the same time. That day when she believe in God again when He
had brought Loki back.

After that�many strange
things started to happen. New friends came and went. Never staying long.

There was one time when
she dreamt that she became the assistant of the God who strangely enough owns a
pet snake and a black puppy; the man who bear a great resemblance to Loki. The
mansion was in shabbles and the God was in poverty.

When she told Loki about
this, he smiled at her and said that was only a dream. But it had felt so real to
her.

Till this day, she still
hasn�t quite figured out Loki.

��yura-san,
Mayura-san, we�re here.� Mayura
blinked and realized that they had reach the shrine.

�Oh� Thanks for sending
me back. Thank you too Fenrir.� She smiled and bent
down to pet the black pup. He gave a few barks and wagged its tail. �Ja-ne Loki-kun, Ymino-san
and Fenrir.�

�Don�t wonder around at
night, Mayura. Remember what happened the last time
you didn�t listen to me?�

�Hai�Hai�, papa� Mayura teased.

Loki hummmppped
and turned to return home.

*****

As she sat down to dry
her hair in font of her mirror, she noticed a box in her bag. �Oh no� she
gasped.

She had forgotten to pass
the present to Loki. She had seen this beautiful necklace in a shop and thought
it would look really nice on Loki. The pendant was in the shape of a silver
crescent moon with intricate design by the side. It hung on the thin leather
stripe. She remembered Loki always have this weird staff with one end shape
like a crescent moon.

She looked at the clock
showing 15 minutes to 9 o�clock. She quickly went to change and went out with
the box in her hand. She decided to take a short cut to Loki�s
place.

She passed by the
deserted row of shops and stopped when she heard something moved in one of the
alley way. She moved cautiously towards the sound and peered round the corner.

Something white flashed
past her. She screamed and fell back. She looked at the thing and laughed
nervously. It was only a white cat. As she stood up, a shadow loomed over her.
She turned��and screamed.

Hovering behind her was
a man with a mask over his face. In his hand was a bloody knife. Raised and
ready to strike.

Mayura quickly scrambled to her feet and ran as fast as she could.
However, the man was hot on her heels. She turned into an alley way and stop
when she noticed that it was a dead end. She whimpered and ran behind a pile of
boxes.

End of Flashback

*****

Mayura�s hand clenched the small box in her hand. The
footsteps came nearer and nearer.

�Come
out, little one. Don�t hide from me�I�m not going to hurt you��much.� The man
laughed manically. Mayura bit her lips and pushed the
boxes. It landed on the man. She ran out the alley without turning back. She
screamed when she felt something sharp against her arm. She could feel her
blood dripping. The next thing she knew, the man had slammed her on the floor.

Her
pupil dilated as she saw the flash reflected from the blade as it sliced
through the air and her flesh.

�LOKI��
she screamed out as blood filled her month.

*****

Loki
looked up from his book he was reading. Ever since after dinner, he had been
having a bad feeling that something is going to happened.

�Are
you alright, Loki-tama?� Ec-chan asked from the top
of his head.

�I
don�t know. I�ve been having a feeling that something bad is happening.� He
frowned and tried to shake off the feeling.

�LOKI�� his eyes widen as he
heard Mayura�s voice screaming his name.

�Mayura�� he jumped of his sit and rushed out.

�Loki-sama, where are you going?� Yamino
asked, concerned after seeing the worried look on his face.

�Daddy,
wait for us.� Fenrir shouted and hurried up to catch
up with Loki.

�Mayura. Something happened to
her. Damn it! I told her not to go off investigating the murder.� Loki snarled
as they ran towards the shrine.

*****

�What
are you doing here, brat?� Mayura-papa glared angrily
at them. He was sweeping the courtyard when they came running. �If you are
looking for Mayura, I thought she was at your place?
She said she had something to pass to you.�

Loki
froze and started swearing. �Fenrir, can you detect
her scent?�

Daidouji Misao raised an eyebrow as the brat started
talking to the black pup. To his amazement, the pup actually lifted his head
and smells the air. It turned to the kid and barked a few times. The kid nodded
and followed the pup.

�What the hell happened?� he muttered under his
breath. He threw his broom aside and followed them.

******

She
felt so cold�very cold. She no longer feels any pain, too numb after loosing so
much blood.

�Yes�you
are so beautiful. With your blood drained out of you, your skin had turned snow
white. Just like the others. Only difference is that you look much more
beautiful than them.� The man chuckled as he stroke her hair he had cut from
her earlier. �I will keep this as a souvenir and the photos too.�

The
man stood up, he was about to dragged her to a new location when he heard
footsteps approach from afar.

He
looked at Mayura with regret. �Seems
like we have company. Well�sayonara.� He leaned down and kissed her on
her cold lips.

Her
eyes widen as he twisted the blade further into her heart. And her world fades
to darkness.

*****

�Daddy� shes in front. But��
I smell blood.� Fenrir whispered.

Loki
felt fear twisting his gut. �Please�let me be in time. Please��

�Loki-sama! Over here at the
alley!� Yamino pointed at the narrow alley way ahead
of them.

They
ran there and what they saw shocked them to their very souls.

�MAYURAAAAAAAA��
Daidouji Misao howled as he
ran to his daughter�s side. �NNOOOOOOOOOO��..�

Loki stood there. Not believing what he saw. He
didn�t even realise when he had turned back to his kakusei form.

�No, this can�t be true. No�� He repeated those words over and
over in his head until he felt a hand squeezing his shoulder.

�Loki-sama�� Yamino
whispered. He felt anguished rolling off Loki-sama. Anguished that he wasn�t able to reach her in time.

Lighting flashed across the sky, illuminating the dark alley way
and the scene it presented. Rain started to fall from the sky.

Even the God is weeping at her sudden departure.
