A/N: I'd like to apologize for a mistake in the last chapter. Lina did not rush over and eat a Chicken Soup Amelia had ordered, but a Chicken Salad. Second, I'd like to thank all of those who have reviewed my story more then twice. The Squigglies salute you. Also I would like to add that those of you who don't understand chess, may have a bit of a problem with this chapter. Anywayz, here's chapter 7!!

Chapter 7: The Slayer's (including William) thoughts
William could feel that Xellos was watching him, and that why he was watching him was deviously evil, and that he would feel the brunt of it. Understanding this, William tried to avoid Xellos whenever possible, but all that caused was for him to see was Xellos at every turn. William finally found the answer: he stayed near Filia. Filia felt obvious enraged when she saw the monster (William couldn't figure out what she meant by monster. Xellos looked human to him.) and so when the dude with the staff looked at William, Filia mistook it for looking at her, and went over and 'knocked some sense into him' with her mace. He couldn't stay near Filia for to long though, because this method kept traveling at a slow pace.
Xellos knew what William had to do. And it was his mission to stop it. All he had to do was distract him at a crucial part in the game, and BAM, check mate. (This next bit has a lot to do with chess.) Zel was obviously a rook (castle); Gourry a knight; Filia, a bishop; Lina, the queen; and William a bishop and himself, an enemy knight. William and Lina were both next to the King. If Xellos could just find out who the king was (By watching either William or Lina), Xellos would position himself to get the King in Check. Xellos found it would be easier to annoy William then Lina. Lina was already prepared against Xellos, and had been in the game too long. She had probably been moved away from the king. But William was new to the contest, he would not have moved far. Xellos must reposition himself closer to William, and thus closer to the Sovereign Ruler. (King.)
~~~^_^~~~ (Squigglies rule!!!!)
Lina didn't really get William. He obviously didn't get along with Xellos (neither did she) and so wasn't bad, but seemed ignorant of the world, like Gourry, thus making him an idiot. Also, he didn't seem all that valuable. He didn't look rich, he didn't carry anything valuable, and he wouldn't let anyone near his pack. Maybe William had something valuable in there!!! How to get it though? Hmmmm.
Gourry didn't understand. Who was that guy who was following them? He must be a spy!!! What's a spy? Wanting the answer to his question, he asked Lina, who promptly hit him over the head. Gourry continued thinking; what was I thinking about? Oh Yeah!! The following dude!!! Hey! Where's my Sword of Light?!?! He must have stolen it!!! And that stone dude must be helping him, and look he's (Zel) carrying a sword!! That must be mine! I'll wait until night and get it back!!
Filia: Why does that monster keep staring at me!?! I'll club him with mace-sama if he stares at me another minute!! Oh, man, he stopped! And I really wanted to hit him!! I wonder if that William is working with him? Maybe he's a monster in disguise!?!! Oh, I need some tea!!! Maybe William has some in that bag on his back!! I'll go ask him. (She goes and asks him. He replies no, and she goes back to her place in the group.) Man!! He had no tea!! I wonder what he does have in that bag. It has to be something important. Maybe it's an item that proves he's a monster!!! If I can prove to the group he's a monster, they'll have to get rid of him!! Just like they got rid of Xellos… Wait a second, They never did get rid of him!!! Humans can be so stupid sometimes, especially Gourry. You just know Gourry going to do something stupid. It's assured. We haven't eaten since lunch, and he hasn't done anything stupid for about 3 hours. Gosh, I hope it isn't to bad.
Amelia: Oh, maybe Mr William is warrior of Justice!!! Oh, Justice, the heart and soul of a people who are good!!! Justice shall overcome all. Justice (this goes on for sometime before it gets back to the group…) It's a good thing I travel with Ms. Lina who takes me where Justice is most needed. I hope I can covert Gourry to a Swordsman of Righteousness and Goodness!!! We will battle evil until (this continues a bit longer…) Mr. William though, I wonder what he thinks of Justice? I hope he is not an instrument of Evil and Cruelty here to convert us to wickedness!! Otherwise I would have to use the Hammer of Justice and smash him into niceness!!!
Zelgadis: I wonder what everyone else is thinking. I hope they're thinking of setting up camp. It's getting dark, and I need a cup of coffee!! Maybe right here. It isn't that far from that stream over there, and it would be nice to be able to take a bath. While I'm having a cup of coffee, I should offer one to William. He looks like he needs a good cup of coffee. I can smell the beans now. Oh, I need some coffee. Oh no, it looks like Gourry is trying to think. That could cause trouble. I better talk with Gourry when we stop. Why is he eyeing my sword like that? Oh, no, I think he's going to challenge me to a sword fight. (Puts hand on sword.) I better keep a good grip on this so I'm prepared. Maybe William and I can talk some sense into him.
Gourry (again): My gosh, he knows I'm watching him!! Oh look, he's taken a hold on my sword!!! That villain!! How dare he hold a family heirloom like that!! Whose family heirloom was it again? Oh yeah!! My family!! What's an heirloom? Oh that's right!! A thingy that's been passed down from generation to generation. Whose family was it again? Oh right. My family…
They stopped about five minutes later (not to far from the stream) and started to set up camp.
A/N: You can guess what's going to happen next. If you can't well then I can leave you in suspense. Please Review!! (Oh by the way their were 1125 words in this chapter.)
