Jumper laughed a bit watching Lurai spring up and away. He could see the mischevious look in her eyes and knew it was nothing personal. She was just feeling a bit frisky. Jumper casually stood and wiped the leaves and dust from his clothes then he looked over to Lurai. "Well, well, looks like someone is feeling a bit restless." He grinned and winked at Lurai, his right hand sliding over to the disc on his left. "So what are we up to? tag? hide and Seek? or just a good old fashion game of catch and kiss?"

Lurai smirked. "Well lets see, how about you catch me and find out" she said with a laugh and started sprinting through the hedge maze, darting through wooded trees until she was a good distance away. She panted slightly leaning on a piece of hedge. "Oh man I need to run a little more" she said with a laugh. She pulled a fresh twig out of the hedges and pulled her hair to the side and tying it with the twig. She smiled when she saw a small flower growing from the hedges, she stood up on her tip toes and tried to grab it.

Jumper grinned as he heard Lurai, and then watched her run off into the maze. Lurai had an advantage out here. She was naturally fast and knew how to move through the trees and such. Also she could track his scent as clear as day. So finding her would be hard. He turned his dial up and decided to try something a bit different. As the energy filled his body and the speed began to build he started running all over the maze. Not looking for Lurai just yet. He was zipping all around, to each corner and along all different paths at an amazing speed. He was spreading his scent all over the maze at the same time. Moving fast enough that he was less then a blur if seen. After doing this he began looking for Lurai, hoping to confuse one or two of her senes enough to give him a shot at finding her.

Lurai grabbed the flower and pulled it off and tucked it in her now tied back hair. She grinned as she sniffed the air, trying to find Kyle's scent. It was coming strongly from where she was, so she decided to go in the direction she was going. It was a little eerie. She perked her ears up trying to catch the sound of his feet. She couldn't hear them though. It was as if he started to fly, but she'd hear flapping of wings if that was the case, then it hit her. "Dam, he's using his powers, now how will I be able to avoid that?" she asked herself. She fell forward on her hands so that she was on all four limbs. She let out a stretch before pushing her legs from the ground and darting farther into the maze. She thought about the best way of going about hiding.
She looked at one of the tall walls of grass and stuck her hands in the vine like wall, climbing to the top and sitting with her legs sitting off the edge. She pulled them up and laid down in a little ball, but flat against the top of the hedge. Kyle wouldn't think to look up, so this gave her the advantage of upper ground, plus he had to catch her to stop her from running. She peered carefully over the edge sniffing all portions of the maze, but it seemed that he was everywhere and it was confusing her immensely.

Jumper had run through the maze a number of times already, his speed carrying him through quickly. There was no sign of Lurai, all he could think that was either she had left the maze all together. Or she was hiding somewhere in the maze itself. He knew this would be the difficulty with trying to fiind Lurai in this maze. She knew how to use the terrain. Jumper thought back to the training mission in the Danger Room when the large maze had appeared in front of them. He followed Nightcrawler's lead and at the time, teleported to the top of the maze.
So with that in his mind he ran faster still and quickly ran up one wall of the maze. But he realized it wasn't the same as the Danger Room, this was only grass and vine walls. Jumper couldn't stand in any one place to long or he would fall through. So he had to take it fast and in quick bursts. Running along one section then another. Until he spotted the curled up ball of Lurai across the other side of the maze. Noting where she was hiding he hit the ground again and ws off in a blur. He didn't make a sound as he ran to where she was hiding above. He stopped all of a sudden beneath where Lurai was hiding and stood there quietly. Just waitinng for her to notice his scent had stopped floating around.

Lurai's eyes drooped as she waited for Kyle to find her. She stifled a yawn at the boredom of waiting until a scent drifted to her nose. His scent was incredibly strong all of a sudden. Like he was right next to her. She sniffed the air once more before she turned around to see him underneath her. Her eyes widened slightly before she smirked. "Took you long enough" she said before jumping from the top of the hedge back to the ground and running once more. Not to sure where she was going but she knew if she didn't hide soon he'd catch her in a heartbeat.

Laughing at her comment and shaking his head. "I thought you wanted to have fun and play, but if your wanting to see how quick I can catch you, well then. Thats another game all together." As she leaped from the wall and began running again, he reached over and "dialed" himself up even faster. This time he didn't give Lurai enough of a lead to find a place to hide. His eyes were sparking blue energy that was coursing through his body. He matched every turn and move Lurai made. Though she may not have been able to see him he was moving so fast, she could definitly tell he was always a heartbeat away.

Lurai could feel him right next to her. She definitely was not fast enough for him. But with some quick thinking, she came up with a plane and dug her hands and feet into the ground coming to a stop. At the fast speed she could feel it scratch at her hands, but they seemed to be okay. It wasn't that bad. As she came to a complete stop she did a quick roll, getting dirt on her face, and reversed directions running as fast as she could. Dodging through each part of the maze and running to the other entrance at the opposite side that she'd entered. She hid behind the wall of greenery, panting heavily, her chest heaving up and down, trying to keep as quiet as possible.

Jumper thought this was supposed to be a simple fun game of chase, but it seemed Lurai was getting a bit to serious about this. She became more feral and was seemingly desperate to get away. He blinked and she was gone running back the other way. Jumper kept up with her just seeing her foot or tail around each bend. Until she sprung out of the maze all together. He slowed up and "dialed" himself down. Walking carefully out of the maze.
Calling out lightly and carefully," Is everything ok Lurai? Did I do something to bother you?" He wasn't sure exactly where she was, but he hoped she could hear him. Jumper was becoming a bit confused at everything that was happening.

Lurai panted heavily her chest heaving. She slid to the ground and pulled her legs into her. She closed her eyes trying to suppress the urge to run. Her heart pounding. 'What the hell is going on?' she thought to herself. She thought that she had gotten over this urge to run away but apparently not. "Yeah I'm fine and you didn't to anything" she said with a surprisingly steady voice. She let her head rest on her knees. It was like images were flashing before her eyes. Just running. "I'm over here" she added her breathing starting to steady. When she started to run it was almost like nothing could get her out of the trance, if she was running from something, whether play or not, she had to get away.

Jumper walked up carefully and watched how Lurai was acting. He could feel there was something odd going on here. Taking a breath he reached out and offered his hand to Lurai. "How about we head inside, get something to eat and drink and settle down for a bit?" Jumper always felt a bit hungry after using his powers, and he hoped the change in subject would get her mind off what was going on in there.

She took his hand muttering a thanks under her breath. "Its okay, I think I'm going to stay out here for a while" she said with a smile. "I'm fine so you go and get something to eat" she added looking at him and planting a kiss on his cheek.

Tilting his head a bit looking at her and then deciding not to try and pry. If Lurai wanted to talk about it, she would. So Jumper smiled and returned the kiss to her cheek. "Ok, well if you want me or need me, you know how to find me. Im going to get something to eat and do my morning workout." He smiled and winked at Lurai one last time and then headed off towards the mansion.
