Kagome couldn't keep the smile off of her face. She was having a blast. Once they had finished their shower, they had a message waiting on them. The village claimed another beast was near and needed exterminating and they were willing to pay them and give them free room and board.
Laxus asked Kagome to join him on this mission. He was interested in seeing her powers be used more. They were like nothing he had seen before. Plus he was enjoying her company. 'Not to mention the view,' he thought while glancing up into trees following Kagome with his eyes while he ran along on the ground.
Kagome giggled as she watched Laxus track her with his eyes. She also saw his ears twitch at her giggle. When he glanced up to her face she made sure to quickly glance forward. He was probably trying to see why she giggled.
Feeling playful, she decided to alter her jumping pattern between trees. It made her skirt swish more around her legs and it kept changing the view he was getting. She was amused and this time couldn't hide her laughter as she watched him. He never took his eyes off her.
"Are you enjoying the view down there, Laxus?" Kagome called out down to him.
Laxus laughed out loud, feeling just as playful. "If you could hike your skirt up just a bit more, I wouldn't mind it or you could just take your underwear off. Either one works," he shouted back.
Kagome almost lost her footing but couldn't help but laugh at his audacity. 'What the hell! Why not? It's not like he'll expect it,' she thought before a devious grin curled her lips.
Laxus huffed in exasperated amusement as Kagome sped up in the trees above. He was about to feel irritated that she reacted to his teasing like that until something drifted down from her to him. His hand came out and grabbed it in reflex. His nose confirmed what he held before his eyes even drifted down to his hand.
Unconsciously, lightning began to dance over his form in excitement. 'So she wants to play it that way,' he thought.
Had Kagome looked back at that moment, instead of concentrating on staying ahead of him, she would have probably either felt excitement or fear or perhaps both.
Thanks for all of the reviews. If anyone has any prompts they would like to add, I will give them a shot
