Hi guys!!! This is my second go at writing fanfic. I'm going to take my time writing this one, simply because I'm still not very sure of the storyline. I've got many, many ideas swimming in my head, but I dunno which ones to use. What's more, I've got to make sure the story flows and there's no OOC!

So, I can't give a good summary yet. But I can warn you that there'll be much LokixMayura. Can't help it. I'm a big fan of them. ^^

Love the title of this fanfic. It just came into my mind suddenly. "Let Me Kiss You"… such an attractive title. But I repeat. No OOC-ness involved.

Japanese notes: [1]itai : ouch

Here goes…

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN MATANTEI LOKI RAGNAROK. IT BELONGS TO KINOSHITA SAKURA SENSEI…

LET ME KISS YOU CHAPTER 1 --- A Haunted Mansion

.

.

It was an unbearable night. Apart from the racket it was making, the rain also made the air uncomfortably moist. Loki tossed and turned in his bed, trying hard to sleep. Finally, he gave up and sat up. Staring out of his window, he could hardly see anything as the rain poured down mercilessly, shielding everything from sight.

He looked down at his bed, and E-chan shivered beside me, snoring gently. It was cold. Too cold.

"This rain… Something bad is going to happen again…" Loki frowned worriedly. "I can feel it."

.

* * * * * * * * * * *

"Loki-kun!!!!" Mayura burst into the room, bright and cheerful as usual.

Loki took no notice of Mayura and continued burying himself in his books, but his eyelids felt so heavy that he could hardly concentrate.

"Loki-kun, what's wrong with you? Didn't have a good night's sleep?" Mayura peered at Loki with concern.

Loki sighed and gave up reading. He closed his eyes, thinking: //Yes… The rain bothered me so much that I couldn't sleep at all last night.//

"Is it because of the rain? I had some trouble sleeping too… but I still managed to fall asleep after a while." Mayura said thoughtfully. "Hey, but today's a bright, sunny day! So let's go out and have some fun! What do you say, Loki-kun?"

Loki looked out of the window. True, the weather seemed to have returned to normal. Although the ground is still wet, the sun was shining, the sky was blue, beautiful white fluffy clouds roamed the sky, and the birds were chirping away.

//Strange…//

"So what do you think?" Mayura repeated her question.

//I think I shall go look around town to check…//

"Sure, let's go." Loki got up from his seat and started calling for Yamino.

* * * * * * * * * * *

By noon, Loki, Mayura, Yamino, Fenrir, and E-chan are standing outside a huge, grand mansion situated at a corner of the town. Although the mansion looked beautiful and elegant, there was somehow a dark atmosphere to it. But this dark side of the mansion was attractive still, as it had drawn crowds to visit it.

"Mayura, you didn't mention anything about coming to this 'haunted mansion'…" Loki eyed Mayura, exasperated.

"But Loki-kun… an outing would be no fun without MYSTERIES!" Mayura argued, and then pleaded: "Can we please please please go in? It's the latest craze around town! This haunted mansion is very famous in school. Everyone's talking about it!"

Loki sighed. "It's just some people dressing up as vampires and ghouls. What's so great about that?"

Loki was about to leave when…

BANG

BING

BONG

WHAM!!!!

CRASH!!!!

.

.

.

Someone or something had crashed into the wall that surrounded the mansion. Coughing and waving his hand to clear away the dust, Loki tried to make out what it was.

"Baka! I told you to look where you are going!" A voice that he knew so well and hated so terribly rang through the dust.

A boy with violet hair, and of the same age as Loki, appeared when the dust had settled. He was covered with bruises and X-shaped plasters, stomping on the unconscious guy lying flat on the ground. Suddenly, the boy turned. He noticed Loki staring at him, and narrowed his eyes dangerously.

"Loki." The boy said it through gritted teeth, his words dripping with venom.

Loki smirked and greeted the boy in return. "Yo, Heimdall. Nice day?"

Heimdall narrowed his eyes further and took a few steps towards Loki, removing his feet from the unconscious Freyr.

"I shall send you to your grave right now…" Heimdall's blood-red eyes flashed.

"Try it…" Loki taunted, fearless.

Yamino, Fenrir and E-chan were shaking, and looking extremely worried.

Heimdall growled and was prepared to strike when a white and brown object interfered, separating him from Loki.

"Loki-kun!!!! Here you go! A vanilla ice cream cone. Now can we go in PLEASE???" Mayura held up an ice cream cone to Loki, begging pitifully, eyes filled with hope.

"Mayura!" Loki jumped, and cursed himself for forgetting that she was present. He looked at the ice cream, puzzled. "Where did you get that from?"

"There," Mayura pointed to a vendor situated under a tree.

Loki accepted the offer and started licking it. //Well, why waste an ice cream?//

"Ah! You are Higashiyama-kun right? Loki-kun's friend?" Mayura smiled brightly at Heimdall who was still shock to have his fight interrupted. And the sight of Loki eating an ice cream…

Mayura bent down and exclaimed, "Kawaii! Here! You can have mine!" She held out the ice cream cone on her other hand.

Loki glared at Heimdall, who glared back at him for a second before turning to Mayura.

Making sure that Freyr had not recovered yet, Heimdall took the ice cream cone and replied charmingly, "Arigatou, oneechan." He then kissed Mayura's cheek. "You're so beautiful and sweet."

Mayura blushed. "Ar…Arigatou…"

"Eh? Aren't you going to return the kiss? It's only polite to do so…" Heimdall smiled. He didn't like this girl. Nor did he wanted to be kissed by anyone. It's just that… the look on Loki's face… it was enjoyable watching Loki's reaction. He would do anything to make Loki mad.

"EH?" Mayura was taken by surprise.

"That's enough! We're going in RIGHT NOW!" Loki was fuming. If looks could kill, Heimdall would be dead by now. Loki hastily grabbed Mayura's arm and pulled her towards the 'haunted mansion'.

Heimdall was basking in his triumph when suddenly someone grabbed the back of his collar and pulled him, dashing towards the haunted house, after Loki's gang.

"YAMATO NADESHIKOOOO!!!!!! Wait for Freyr!!!!"

"Baka! Let me go!" Heimdall yelled and struggled, but to no avail, as Freyr was speeding as fast as he could after Mayura.

* * * * * * * * * * *

"Waaahhh!!! Why does this lady have such a long neck? And woah! There's a flying head! Fushigi Mystery!!!" Mayura gushed with excitement.

Loki, Yamino and Fenrir sweatdropped.

"Loki-sama, isn't this a haunted house? Shouldn't she be screaming instead?" Yamino whispered into Loki's ear.

Loki shrugged, unconcerned. "Who knows?"

He was bored. And tired. He was not interested in the haunted mansion at all. A bunch of humans dressing up with bad make-up trying to scare others? It was silly. Yet it had attracted many who were willing to pay to visit it. And, it was all Heimdall's fault. Kissing Mayura? That had angered him so much that he wondered why too. And in his anger, he had dragged Mayura into her beloved mysterious mansion without thinking.

And now…

"Fushigi Mystery!!!!!!!! Loki-kun, over here! Let's go this way!" Mayura stood before an opening to another part of the mansion. She ran in before Loki protested, but immediately slammed into someone or something taller than her.

"Itai[1]…" Mayura rubbed her elbow in pain.

"Ah! Yamato Nadeshiko!!! Freyr found you! Freyr has come to rescue you from all the monsters. So, fear not!" Freyr stood with his legs apart, his hands on his hip, and laughed arrogantly.

//Not again…// Loki rubbed his temples when he realized that Freyr and Heimdall had joined them.

"Kaitou-san! Long time no see!" Mayura was still very happy. Well, she's always happy most of the time.

All of a sudden, a creature with a hideous face, dressed in black robes, lunged towards them.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!" Freyr was the first to scream. "Get off me!!! Help! Help! It's going to kill me!!!!!!!!" He knelt down and cowered from the creature, hands protecting his head.

The entire room sweatdropped, including the creature.

 Amazingly, the creature opened his mouth to speak: "You…" It pointed at Loki. "Loki… What are you doing here?"

There was a look of surprise on everybody's faces. Loki was stunned. How did this disgusting creature know who he was?

Realizing that nobody recognized who he was, the creature took off his mask.

"Narugami-kun??!!!" Mayura exclaimed disbelievingly. "What… What are you doing here?"

"This is my new part-time job!" Narugami proclaimed proudly.

"Hmph! A god dressing up as an ugly monster? How disgraceful can that be…" Loki muttered under his breath, but Narugami heard it.

"Why you…!"

At this moment, a lady rushed in towards them. She was looking extremely worried and frantic and scared.

"Oh, I'm glad I found you. You are the last group left. Hurry! All of you must leave this mansion immediately!" The lady rattled uncontrollably.

"What happened, Komaki-san?" Narugami asked, frowning.

"Something's wrong. Some people have been reported missing. They entered the mansion but never came out. We are closing for the day and setting up a search team to find the missing people. At the same time, we will have to investigate what went wrong…" Komaki answered quickly. "Now, please hurry up. We have to get out fast."

Mayura was disappointed. Not simply disappointed. She was also depressed. Why did this have to happen? She was enjoying herself so much, and she had not get to go round the whole mansion. On hearing Komaki-san's explanation, she was devastated.

"Noo…" Mayura sighed and lean back against the wall. There was no choice in this matter. She would have to leave after Komaki locked the door to the next room (the one that Mayura had wanted to go into) and contacted the rest of the crew in charge of this haunted mansion project.

//Weird… What's happening to me?!//

Mayura was falling backwards.

//I wanted to lean against the wall. But… where was the wall?//

She couldn't stop falling backwards.

//No… what's happening? I can't…//

"Loki-kun!" Mayura tried to shout for help, but her voice was muffled as she fell back… into nothing. Into darkness.

.

.

"Okay, this way please." Komaki led the way for the gang.

They started following Komaki, without noticing anything amiss. Freyr had recovered from his screaming and wailing, and exclaimed (to no one in particular): "Yamato Nadeshiko! You don't have to fear. Freyr will not let anything happen to you. Here, take my hand and hold on tight."

Loki rolled his eyes. //Yeah right. With you protecting her? She'll get into more trouble. Besides, she's with so many gods. What could possibly happen?//

"Eh? Yamato Nadeshiko? Where are you?"

Loki stopped in his tracks and swung around. He didn't see the girl with pink hair. He scanned through the whole room. Mayura was not anywhere in sight.

"Mayura?" Loki's call rang throughout the whole room.

Fear gripped his heart. He started to panic. //Where was she?!//

"Mayura?! We have to go now!" Loki called out again.

And again, there was no reply.

"Daidouji! Oei, Daidouji!" Narugami joined in, worrying too.

Loki felt his heart stopped beating. "No. She's not here. Something must have happened. Mayura is gone."

The moment the words left his mouth, his world plunged into darkness.

Sorry guys! I'm trying to write a very anime-like story. If it had turned out bad or boring, pls pardon me! I'll try stuffing in more interesting parts. And anyway, I haven't finished the story yet… there'll be more to come. There's a reason why it's called "Let Me Kiss You", you know? Yes… besides the part on Heimdall kissing Mayura, there'll be more. And I've mentioned that I'm a BIG fan of LokixMayura right? Heehee ^^ But I won't write anything OOC. I don't wanna do an OOC one yet. If I want to, I'll probably write about Loki and Heimdall…

So, see ya next time!
