Adventurer's Re-birth

Chapter 5

We left the town headed north. We wound up lost in a forest.
"Geez, I thought you bought a map!" Yumi nagged. "I did! But the map doesn't show how to get through the forest! Just the forest itself." Replied Josh.
We made our way through thousands of trees. Yet there were still thousands more.
"This is insane!"Josh growled. "Are we even going the right way?" Kaarii questioned. "Of course! We just keep heading north!" Josh replied.
We kept walking, and walking. What seemed like hours, felt like days. Then, out of nowhere, a little girl, all by herself, was walking by us, then passed us.
She had short blondish hair. And wore a hat, shaped like a cat's head, and a long sleeved shirt underneath a small peach shirt. She had long, saggy socks, and wore shorts, and had pink shoes."Excuse me, are you lost?" Kaarii asked. The girl turned, and looked at us with big, blue eyes.
"No, i'm headed for town up north. But it looks like you guys are." She said. "You know the way to town?" Yumi asked. "Sure, if i'm right, it should be 135ft. just up ahead. You guys can follow me if you like." She replied. "Great we're almost there!" Kaarii said.
The group went up a slope, and exited the forest looking towards the nearby town.

We finally left the forest, and made it to the next town. Soon we parted ways with the little girl, for she needed something from the neighboring town to the east. We asked if she was alright by herself and if she needed help, but she said that she was fine. We re-supplied our food and upgraded our wepons here. We then rested at a resident's house, for there was no inn. The owner was kind enough to include a free dinner with the lodging. Afterwards, we all met in our room to see where we were headed.
"Just 5 more towns, and 1 city left to go before NY!" Josh exclaimed. "Whew! We're getting closer!" Kaarii said. "But, isn't it kinda strange?" Yumi asked. "What?" Asked Josh. "The fact that no assasins attacked us today..." Yumi stated. "Yeah, that is weird..." Kaarii replied. "Come to think of it, we haven't been attacked the whole day..." Said Josh. "Maybe we beat them all?" Questioned Kaarii. "Naw, i'm sure there'll be more tomorrow." replied Josh. "Yeah maybe you're right." Yumi said.
We all went to sleep for the night a bit early.
Around 9:00, we heard a commotion outside. We looked outside the window towards the square to see a bloodbath of people around a young man, stained by blood, holding a sword.
JOSH JONES, COME ON OUT!
I KNOW YOUR HERE!

I looked out the window in absolute horror. He killed innocent people! Its all my fault! I gotta go out there and stop him!
"COME ON! I'M GONNA KEEP KILLING TILL YOU COME OUT!"
I rushed down there followed by Kaarii and Yumi. I met face to face with the kid.
"So, your Josh Jones. I don't really see how you're a dangerous target. I even heard that you don't kill the people who attack you, you just knock 'em out! Thats not very bright." the assasin said calmly.
"YOU BASTARD! YOU JUST KILLED INNOCENT PEOPLE! WHY?" I said pissed off. "Because I knew you'd come out hero. Seems we're getting a little mad, aren't we?" he spoke. "I'LL KILL YOU!" I said.
I lunged at him, breaking into a fight.

We fought for hours, going at it uncontrolably. We seemed evenly matched, scratching and tearing each other up.

"Looks like you're tougher than I thought." the young man said.

"SHADDUP!" I yelled out.

Just then he lunged at me. I jumped up and striked him down. He layed on the floor bleeding from his head.

"Im-impossible..." he spoke weakly.

I walked up next to him, looking down upon him.

"Who the hell are you?" I asked.

"Heh, I guess you deserve to know. They call me-

Flare: Age: 18 Occupation: Assasin Bio: Blonde, Very skilled assasin who is highly intellegent. Has a know-it-all attitude. Thinks he's better than everyone else. He kills for money in order to help his mom in poverty, but lost sight of his mission in the adrenalin of the kills. Fights with a Fencing Sword as a primary wepon, and throwing knifes as a secondary. Symbol is a flaming skull.

-Flare" he said.

"..." I satyed silent.

I started walking away, soon being followed by Kaari and Yumi.

"HEY! Where the hell are you going? Aren't you going to finish me off?" Flare yelled.

I stopped and said "I don't kill scum."

Flare stared in a somewhat shocked trance as the party walked off.

Theres going to be a story explaning these diffrent parts of each of the characters' parts.

And for those who are wondering when the PPGZ show up in the story, BE PATIENT! I'm working on that part in the next couple of chapters.

Thanks and please review!
