Chapter 3: Masochistic Tendencies

Every day, Loki lounged as Kagome collected their meals from Thor. He would yawn and look away, and generally avoid his brother's gaze, but he could not hide his curiosity of the hushed conversations his prison guard would start with the noisy god.

"Her cheeks," he would silently muse while slyly looking past the fingernail he was fussing over, "seem almost fevered, and she plays with the bottom inches of her hair in an annoying way." But it was when she would giggle softly and shuffle from foot to foot that Loki would grow tired of watching her bashful attempt at charming his brother. To remedy the situation was easy enough; staring straight at the thunder god, he would send a soft pulse of his weakened magic, which Kagome would notice immediately and stiffen, calling Thor's attentions back to Loki. Kagome and Thor would then exchange pleasantries, and Thor would leave Kagome with the food.

Loki appreciated that she didn't sulk, but certainly didn't appreciate that she would she would zap him while handing him his tray. It always caused him to jolt and tip his drink all over himself. There really was no way of winning with her, he decided, but he continued to test her temper out of principle.

It was after a full week of observations that Loki made his first real strike: "Even if you pine, dear, he already has a human pet."

He swallowed a yelp as a purifying shock shook through his body. "I take it you know, then," he managed after a moment.

She looked into his eyes, and Loki saw all he needed to know. "And yet," he murmured, "you continue to pursue." He smiled, "Persistent girl." Loki chucked when he saw her shrug nonchalantly.

"So, you've done this before then? Well, might I point out that you may be a masochist." Loki picked at the meat on his plate, and Kagome looked smugly over at him as she chewed her bread.

He sighed, He He "Well, it's not like I ask to be zapped."

"Except that you definitely do."

Loki, who had begun to sulkily munch on some fruit, immediately stopped and looked up at Kagome who was now giggling at his expense. He smiled back at her cheekily.

"Well, that wasn't so hard, was it?"
