Chapter Nine
Laxus rolled over to feel the warmth next to him, only to find that it was no longer there. He could smell Kira's honey scent mixed with his own, the strong scent of their night together. He breathed in and could smell bacon.
'Blondie's cooking'.
Then a strong hint of Kira's shampoo hit him. He could hear Lucy in the kitchen with Ever and Bix. Then he could hear Kira humming. He sat up, looking through the door of the bathroom to see Kira wash the soap from her hair. The water washed the suds down her body. He breathed in her honey scent again, when something else come though.
"Blood." He growled and rolled out of bed coming up behind Kira in the bathroom.
"Are you ok?" his voice was dry, sore and tired. "I smell blood?"
Kira reached and turned of the warm water.
"I'm fine, it's just from the bite." she smiled up at him.
Laxus pushed her wet hair from her shoulder. The massive wound from his fangs hadn't healed yet.
"Why isn't it better?" He went to the glass cabinet, got out a bandage, and began to dress her wound.
"Magical bite?" Kira giggled.
"It's not funny Kira, I really hurt you a lot last night" Laxus growled, passing her a towel so she could dry herself.
"Laxus," she sighed, "You did nothing to me that I wasn't ok with." She dropped her towel and wrapped her hands around Laxus' neck. "It's our mark, it says that I am yours, it might take longer to heal then normal wounds. I'll talk to Levy about it." She smiled.
Laxus was about to complain back to her when his communication lacrima went off. Growling and pulling away from a still very wet and naked Kira, he went back to his side table to answer his device.
"WHAT?!" he growled.
"Well, that's a nice way to answer a call, my boy." The face of his grandfather appeared. "Not sleep well?"
"Slept fine, Gramps. What yah want?" In the corner of Laxus' eye he could see Kira drying herself with a towel and begin to get dressed.
"I have a mission for you." The older man smiled.
Laxus continued to watch Kira as she brushed her hair and place a small amount of make up on. "Now? With the team?"
"No, just you. You can bring them if you want, but they weren't requested."
Laxus free hand brushed over his face. "Give me an hour." He cut of the magic before the older mage could say anything else.
Kira slowly walk over to a still pissed of and still very naked Laxus. "You have to go?" she said softly.
Laxus turned to look at Kira, he loved the way she looked, her hair still damp from her shower, wearing a black t-shirt and dark denim shorts. She was always so casual with the way she dressed. "Yeah" he sighed, "Wanna come with me?" he asked.
"With you? You never let me come with you." Kira placed her hands on her hips, she didn't mind not going on big missions with Laxus and his team, but she missed him when he was gone for weeks. "You say they are too dangerous since I have no offensive magic."
"Well you don't have any," He grumbled, "But I want you to come with me this time, I don't know how long it will be. Gramps said only I've been requested so it shouldn't be too difficult and I could always use back up." He moved over and placed his hand on her hands that were still resting on her hips. "Kira, will you please come with me this time?"
Kira slowly moved away from Laxus grasp and reached under the bed, grabbing Laxus' duffle throwing it on top. She quietly moved to the dresser and began to fill it with both her clothes and some of Laxus'. She moved to the bathroom and began to collect her necessary items from the bathroom, which left the speechless Dragon Slayer standing still very naked in the middle of the bedroom. "Laxus, go shower so we can meet Master. You said an hour right? Once I finish packing I'll get us some food." She placed the items from the bathroom in the bag and grabbed her half read book from her nightstand. "How long do with think the mission will be?" she asked.
Laxus had moved to the bathroom and had turned on the shower feeling the temperature. "Never sure and Gramps didn't say. I can always get you more books if you finish that one." he smiled at her. 'God's she's as bad as Freed and Levy with her love for books'.
Laxus and Kira were on the train on the way to Onibus. Laxus had to met with Master on his own to discuss the mission, while Kira had run up to Levy at the guild and asked for all her books on dragon mates. It ended up with Kira having a whole bag full of different books to read. The moment she got on the train she sat down and began to read, "So we will have to stop over at Clover town before going on to Onibus." Laxus grunted, stepping over the pile of books at his feet. He began to study her face before the train began to move. "Think you could work some magic on me, Kira?" he grabbed his head as nausea hit him.
Kira looked up from her book and giggled. "Sorry Laxus." She placed her hand on Laxus' cheek and closed her eyes, feeling her energy flow through her. "Better?" Only receiving a grunt in response, Kira returned to her book.
Not much time passed before Laxus got bored of Kira reading. He moved over to her shoulder and began to pull her shirt down, revealing her still bandaged wound. 'Still healing' he frowned but got closer, placing his other hand on her thigh. 'Still reading.' A low growl began to form in Laxus' throat. He didn't like to be ignored. His hand began to move up her thigh, his finger brushed the edge of her denim shorts. He began to creep a finger under the hem, when he heard Kira clear her throat "You right there?"
"Yep" he smirked
"Laxus" she signed "I'm trying to find out more about this…about us. It's important." Laxus groaned. He knew she was right, he just wanted her all to himself. It was rare that they were alone and this whole mission they were going to be alone. 'Gramps had said it'd take two weeks.' He moved back over to this spot but fell down placing his head on Kira's lap "Comfy?"Kira giggled at the sulking slayer.
A few days had passed since getting to Onibus and Laxus' mood still wasn't any better, the job was a simple bodyguard job for some party for some rich arsehole and his fake plastics doll later that week. That wasn't the issue, the issue was Kira, and she was still reading! It had been four days. Four days of Kira reading. On the train she was reading. Getting off the train she was reading. Sitting in the hotel…reading! Nothing but reading, she only stopped to shower. 'I swear she hasn't even slept.' Every time he tried to touch her, she would smack his hand away or just pretend he wasn't there 'Godsdamn it, this was meant to be our time alone.'
"Ah!" Kira gasped, "I think I found something." She placed the book down, looking over at her frowning dragon slayer. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." He mumbled, moving over to the bed next to her "What'd yah find?"
"Well it pretty much says you have to bite my mark again, in the same spot, in the same way, as when you made it the first time." she smiled at him, feeling her cheeks get warmer.
"So it says we need to have sex again?" Kira nodded at him. "Oh for fucks sake!" Laxus growled pushing himself from the bed. "That's all I've been trying to do with you for the last four fucking days, Kira!" He turned and looked at her stunned face. "But all you kept doing was pushing me away or simply ignoring me! But now a book says its ok to fuck me, you're all good with that?"
"I'm…" Tears began to form in her eyes. She quickly gathered all her books, putting them back in the bag Levy gave her and ran straight into the bathroom, locking the door behind her. "I'm sorry," she whispered to herself as she slid down the door.
"Fuck!" He swore under his breath as the door slammed in his face. He could hear her whisper, he could hear her small sobs and he could smell the salt from her tears. "Kira?" He spoke softly leaning on the door with his back to it. "You know I could just break the door down." He sighed. He could still hear her small sobs. His chest began to tighten. "I fucked up Kira, I shouldn't have gone off at you. I'm just… frustrated." Rubbing his hands through his hair, he couldn't hear her sobs anymore. "You know how much I want you, I always want you. And you know how much I hate to be ignored." He crossed his arms over his chest. "I know that you had to find out what needed to be done, and I'm happy that you have…I was just pissed because that's what I wanted to do the whole time." He sighed. "I'm sorry…will you come out?"
She had stood up from behind the door just after he threatened to break the door down. She didn't want to be in the cross fire of that. As he finished talking and asked her to come out she rested her hand on the door handle. "I…" she paused she didn't know what to say to him. She felt stupid. 'Of course his instincts would have know what they needed to do to complete our bond.' A loud bang hit the door, snapping her back from her thoughts. It was to soft for him to have hit it. She threw the door open as quick as she could, and dodged Laxus as he came falling back towards the bathroom floor. "Laxus!" she screamed, looking at the Dragon Slayer lying on his back on the tiles.
"Fuck that hurt." He sat up and looked at Kira's red eyes. "Why'd you open it so quickly?" he chuckled, rubbing the back of his head. Moving closer, he slowly brushed a stray tear from her face. "I'm so sorry I snapped".
"I thought you had punched the door?" She let out a small giggle.
"Nah, was just banging my head on the door." he smiled at her. Laxus moved closer to Kira, noses almost touching. "Forgive me?"
"Always" she wrapped her arms around Laxus' neck, bringing her lips to his. "Do you forgive me?"
Laxus hooked his arm under Kira's legs and around her back and carried her over to their bed. "You don't have anything to apologise for in the first place." He kissed her nose. "I was just horny and being an arse. I'm not good in relationships. You're kinda my first one." He whispered into her ear, his body completely covering hers.
Kira began to slowly undo the buttons on Laxus' shirt. "You never just talk about your feelings, always keeping them in til you explode." She slowly pulled his shirt down his shoulders. "But that's what I love about you".
Kira hands went to undo Laxus button on his pants when his hand covered over hers and stopped her. "I always want you to feel comfortable and never be afraid around me."
"Never have I ever been scared of you Laxus. I have always been completely comfortable and safe being near you." She managed to get her hands free, to continue her work on his button. "You keep my nightmares away." She whispered before her lips met his once more.
Laxus gave in to her, its not like he was really fighting her anyways. He began his assault on her body, trailing kisses all the way down her jaw to her neck. His hands roamed over her body ripping her clothes from her. When Kira gasped its only excited him more. "I want to hear you scream for me." He growled into her neck as he drove in fingers into her dripping heat. With such strong need for her he quickly replaced his fingers with his hardened member, not pausing this time as he thrust past her barrier.
"OH LAXUS, FUCK!" Kira screamed digging her fingers into his back. He stopped, waited for her to adjust when Kira hips started to grind under him. "More." she hummed. He quickened his pace, slamming into her harder than before. Kira could see his eyes glowing and could feel his electricity flowing through her body.
Kira's moans got louder as Laxus' pace got faster. Laxus could feel his power going to his fangs again and he grabbed Kira hair from her neck and bit down on the mark he had made before. He felt Kira tighten around him in everyway as she came undone and screamed his name. He removed his fangs from her neck and thrust into her one more time, feeling himself came undone. "Fuck, I love you." He panted. He placed a small kiss on her wound and removed himself from her. "I'll get you something for the blood."
Before he could completely leave the bed Kira grabbed his hand. "Laxus its fine." she pushed her hair to the other side of her neck. "See."
A soft glow was coming from her wound and Laxus could see that it was healing, just like her normal wounds. But unlike her normal wounds two small scars still remained on her neck. "I've scarred you though," he growled as his fingers danced over the marked skin.
"I'm more then happy to have these scars" She hummed on his lips, softly pressing them to his.
