chapter 1: Mysterious Assassin

She was your average girl.
Naomi was taking her usual stroll around Prontera. She enjoyed places with lots of people in it. It makes her happy, as a priestess seeing people chatting and making friends. But in her stroll today, she saw something that somehow decreased the energy in the bustling city.
"Are you quite alright?" she asked in a worried tone, bending down as the sun shines over her beautiful brown hair, peering to his face.
It was an assassin, sitting on one of the benches at the less populous part of the city. He had jet black hair and his face buried in his hands.
No reply.
"Well, would you like some company?" she then asked.
Still no reply.
She sighed.
"Just leave me alone." the mysterious assassin growled, showing his face. He had silver eyes, partially covered by his messy bangs which really stood out, besides his great appearance.
She was surprised with the tone of the guy as she was just trying to help.
"What a jerk. Well I'm sorry, so so-" her sentence was cut short by a loud shout.
"Naaaaaaaomiiiii!! So there you are! I've been looking everywhere for you! Seriously, you got me all wo-" the knight's sentence now cut, seeing an assassin with his bestfriend.
He immediately ran in front of Naomi to cover her up and brought up his sword and glared at him.
"What do you want from her?!" he demanded.
Silence.
"Uhm, wait Rad, he didn't do anything! I first came up to him." Naomi, trying her best to explain.
"Hmp! Well, we're outta here" Rad shouted while pulling Naomi's hand with him, although reluctant to come along, Naomi did.
"What the hell is wrong with them?" said a hunter, with two apple juices in hand, walking towards the assassin.
The assassin rolled his eyes and muttered something under his breath.

Evening came and the two found themselves eating in one of the inns in Prontera.
"Say, who was that guy you were with?" Rad asked.
"I actually don't know. I just found him there, his face buried in his hands... and-" Naomi shrugged.
"FUCK, YOU DON'T KNOW HIM AND YOU TALKED TO HIM?! HAH, WELL I HOPE YOU KNOW WHAT HIS JOB CLASS IS AND HOW FREAKIN' DANGEROUS HE IS, YOU'RE LUCKY BECAUSE IF I DIDN'T COME, YOUR LIFE MIGHT HAVE BEEN TAKEN AWAY!!" Rad growled, while speaking so fast.
The noisy inn was then filled with silence. The two received angry glares from the customers. Naomi slowly tilted her head- left and right and saw angry people whispering. She then faced Rad, her brown eyes filled with tears. She was filled with shock and sadness that her friend would do this to her, knowing how sensitive she is in these stuff.
"Well..." she said in a barely audible voice, finishing her sentence which was cut awhile ago. "I was actually just trying to help him, serioiusly Rad, there's really nothing to get mad about" said she with a weak smile.
"I'm sorry, I got so carried away... I guess you're right, and Naomi, sometimes you shouldn't be too kind. I was so worried about you. Don't go around those dark, eerie places without me, 'k?" the knight replied.
"Geez Rad, I'm seventeen already. I can take care of myself, but thanks... for being worried about me." Naomi smiled sheepishly.
Near the corner of the inn, was the assassin with a hunter with him.
"Argh, how uncivilized." said the assassin, commenting on the behavior of the knight awhile ago.
"Heh", the hunter smirked. "Say Adrian, weren't them who also made a racket in front of you near the bench?"
"Obviously." the assassin replied while sipping some apple juice.
"The knight must be some kind of a paranoid freak." the hunter said, laughing at his comment.
"What the hell." the assassin said, while rolling his eyes.

The next morning, Naomi and Rad found themselves in the same inn as they were in for dinner, eating breakfast. Then, the door of the inn opened, showing two new customers- the assassin and the hunter.
The hunter, who had absolutely sharp eyesight smirked and pulled his assassin friend to the table beside Naomi's. The assassin saw where this was going and simply rolled his eyes. In things like this, he never really cared, though it really annoyed him. The assassin immediately took his seat but the hunter went to Naomi and Rad's table to talk.
"Heya! I'm Sean and there- see that assassin, is my guildmate, Adrian." he greeted.
"Uhm, hey... my name's Naomi and this is Rad" Naomi said, pointing to her friend in front of her.
"So, are you two like... you know, together?" the hunter asked out of curiousity.
At the sound of this Rad turned crimson red, but nobody seemed to notice.
"Oh, no we aren't. We're just friends, right Rad?" Naomi eagerly replied.
"Huh? What? Uh, yeah." Rad replied, with a little disappointment in his voice.
Naomi saw the assassin glaring at them and rolled her eyes and muttered something.
"What?" the hunter asked confusingly.
"Oh, nothing. I was talking about your companion. What a jerk he is. Argh, why does he always give us those stupid glares, I mean, I only talked to him once! And that was to ask if he was alright." Naomi sighed sadly
"Oh, him. Don't mind him. He just recently had a problem with his family. Adrian isn't really that type of person. You know, snobbish and stuff. He's really fun to be with. Well, that's once you get to know him well and get close with him." Sean replied.
"I'm... I'm really sorry. I didn't know." Naomi said, with a bit of embarrassment.
"Who cares?" Rad whispered.
Naomi nudged him and Sean laughed at this.
"Nah, it's alright. Uh, I better get going, you know to our table. Anyway, nice meeting you two!" Sean said
A/N: Please tell me if you want it continued. I actually have the other parts with me now. XD I'm really sorry for the uncapitalized letters that needed to be. I was using the notepad for this and wasn't really able to edit it out. Thanks ;;)
