"I can't believe this! You're a freaking pervert!" I spin to look him dead in the eyes and call him on his secret
"Relax bunny. I'm just messing with you" He responds as he walks ahead of me.
"What the hell…. What did I do to you?!" I scream at his back.
"Heh…besides I know better then to mess with marked territory." He spouts cryptically.
"What does that even mean?!" I whimper as I fall to my knees dramatically.
"Don't worry about it…. If you don't get a move on then I am cutting the reward to 80-20 got it?" He yells back at me
"Like hell you will! You're the guest on this mission!" I yell as I chase him down.
*line break*
'crunch' I freeze as I hear something snap a twig behind me. Glancing at Gajeel I notice that he ignored the sound and continued walking.
"What do you think that is?" I whisper at Gajeel
"Maybe a little bunny that is curious about things that aren't important." Gajeel whispers back
"That's not funny Gajeel! What if it's a forest Vulcan?" I frantically glance around
Gajeel stops and looks at me with an incredulous expression on his face. "What?" I ask him as I spin around to look for whatever made him stop.
"You know bunny…I think the stereotype about blonde's is true for you." He mutters
"What do you mean? Are you calling me stupid!?" I spin back around to face him
"Bunny….. we are both wizards who belong to the strongest guild in Fiore… Do you honestly think that a forest Vulcan will be any match for us?" He asks as he turns to continue to the ruins.
I relax as I touch my keys on my belt, I reply as a feel a sense of confidence surge through myself at the feeling of Aquarius's key. I let a small smile show on my face as I glance up. "I guess your right… somedays I forget that you can be pretty reliable metal face."
"Wha! Metal Face! What the hell bunny! Don't call me that!" Gajeel sputters as he turns around in disbelief.
"What? Your aloud to call me bunny but stars forbid I get to call you something?" I ask him as a smirk forms on my face while I walk past.
"Better hurry up metal face or your not gonna get any share of the reward!" I holler back at him as he stands frozen gaping at my back.
*line break*
"You know for some reason I didn't think there would be this much space to cover." I mutter to Gajeel as I glance at the large area of ruins we need to search.
"Ch, looks like this is gonna take longer then I hoped." Gajeel grumbles just before a large forest Vulcan comes crashing through the trees behind us.
"WOMAN! MY WOMAN!" The Vulcan screeches as he makes a mad dash for me
"AHHHHHHH. Why is it always me!" I yell as I dodge under the massive arm that is swinging towards me. I roll away and grab my whip to counter the Vulcan only to stop half way as the beast suddenly drops to the ground unconscious.
"Heh, that was to easy." Gajeel grunts as his arm returns to normal
"Ah, thanks I guess." I mutter as a roll my whip back up.
"I guess you were right bunny. There was a Vulcan following us." Gajeel says as he turns and begins digging through a pile of rocks behind him.
"YOU SAY IT SO NONCHALANTLY!" I SCREECH
"Quiet! Your hurtin my ears bunny! Hurry up and start looking for the necklace before we end up getting attacked again." Gajeel growls at me.
"Jerk…" I grumble as I turn to sift through the rubble beside me.
We look for only a couple of minutes before I turn to look at where Gajeel has moved.
"Can't you sniff it out? Shouldn't you dragon slayers have some super powerful sniffer?" I ask him as I move to my next pile
"It don't work that way bunny. That thing has been out here for months, any potential scent has been washed way by the elements. We are just gonna have to find it the old fashioned way." Gajeel replies
I stop sifting to look at all the ruins surrounding us. "This is gonna take forever….." I sigh as I stand up and stretch my back
"Ah….You know I just had an idea." I mutter as I reach for my keys
"What?" Gajeel glances at me
I pull out my key ring and begin sifting through to find the one I need.
"Ah! Here she is!" I announce
"Open Gate of the Maiden! Virgo!" I call out
"Whats she gonna do bunny?" Gajeel asks as Virgo appears in front of me
"Just hold on Gajeel." I reply
"Punishment princess?" Virgo asks as she bows
"Not now Virgo! Can you help us find this necklace?" I hold up the picture for her to see.
"Right away princess! Please stand back!" Virgo announces as she begins to burrow into the ground.
"Now then this should make things alittle easier! We can just sit back and wait. Virgo will find the Necklace for us!" I announce to Gajeel.
"Wouldn't it go faster if the both of us helped her look?" Gajeel asks as he goes to take a step towards where Virgo is digging.
"Ah! Gajeel that's not a good…" I don't get the chance to finish my sentence as Gajeel suddenly drops into a hole deep enough that only his head is sticking out. "I tried to warn you…." I say as I slap my forehead
I walk over to help Gajeel out of the hole when suddenly he is pushed up from below and flies straight into me knocking our heads together.
"Owwww…you really are a metal head Gajeel!" I mutter as I lay on my back and rub my forehead "Can you get off! I'm suffocation down here!" I yell as Gajeel begins to fidget as he pushes himself off of me.
"Sorry…."
