Chapter five
Banjo woke up to the sound of raindrops echoing along stone walls; the air smelled like camp fire. He slowly sat up and rubbed his head, there was no fire, but he got warmth in the form of a greeting from his best friend. "W-w-well look who finally decided t-t-to join the p-party" Kazooie sat across from him, on a log, she had her wings around herself, she was drenched in water, it was also raining. "How… where are we?" She patted the spot right beside her, so Banjo got up and sat beside her."A small cave, it's the only place I could find that was safe from that…. Thing" Banjo looked at her, the tip of her beak was blue rather than the soft pink it usually was, she was shivering.
She must have noticed his staring, because she followed up with. "I'm fine, I can handle a bit of cold" he didn't agree with that statement, he immediately scooted next to her and put an arm around her. "Kazooie, your shivering out of your feathers, you should be under a blanket or something." She found it oddly comforting that her best friend was so concerned for her, he was too nice. "And what's that 'Thing' you were talking about, did it hurt you?" Kazooie smiled. "Wow Banjo, first you want to keep me warm, then you want to keep me safe from the big bad monster, does someone have a crush?" Banjo nearly said 'a little' but he figured it was against his best interests to expose himself. "No, it's just I don't like evil jerks who pick on innocent things, that's all" Kazooie believed him, Banjo liked to find the biggest, meanest bully's and put them in their places. "Well, this big, yellow, cat thing came after us, he nearly got me, but I ran into this little cave and it just…. Well, gave up" Banjo didn't like the sound of that, but it tried to hurt Kazooie, so he had a bone to pick.
Kazooie had stopped shivering at that point, Banjo had gotten up. "Wait, we're not going after that thing NOW, are we?" He nodded, she jumped into his backpack, he made his way to the cave opening, stepping out into the rain, it was cold, cutting into his body, sucking the warmth out of him. "Maybe we should wait for the rain to stop?" Kazooie was only trying to convince Banjo to drop out, but that wouldn't work on him now. "If that thing came after you, it probably hunts Jinjo's too" he was mainly doing this because the cat thing went after Kazooie, the Jinjo's were his number two priority. Banjo eventually heard something snap, next thing he knew, he was knocked to the ground, whatever hit him was strong. "Well looky here, it's a turkey AND a bear, I'm going to feast tonight" the voice was very soothing, but also murderous. "She's not a turkey, she's a Breegull, there's a difference!" Banjo got up and looked for his attacker, he heard something and he rolled out of the way, something hit a rock with a crack. "Oooooooh, I didn't mean to insult your girlfriend, how interesting, you'll definitely pair well together when I'm eating you, that's for sure" the rain started coming down heavier. "She not my girlfriend…. Were just really close friends" the cat jumped out of the bushes and landed in front of him, Banjo nearly fell backwards. "Just friends, eh, what a waste of potential, the way that turkey was carrying your unconscious body around, it almost made me consider not eating the two of you" the cat pounced at them again, this time Banjo got clawed real bad. Kazooie lashed out, jabbing the panther in its eye. "ARGGG, you stupid chicken, that's my good eye!" Then the panther struck again, but this time they missed completely and got their claw stuck in a tree.
Both Banjo and Kazooie started attacking the panther, Banjo grabbed the creatures tail and swung it into a large rock, ripping its claws out of the tree in the process. "Banjo, are you ok?" Kazooie looked at the claw marks on his arms. "It hurts, but I'm not giving up yet" the panther started laughing, Kazooie really wanted to peak his eyes out. "You two are very well coordinated, and also quite lean, I like my meat with a lot of fat, so I'll let you live" and with that, the fight was over. Kazooie started sniffling, Banjo took that as a sign that they had been in the cold for too long.
About half an hour later, the two of them were back in Banjo's house, the fireplace was burning, and The two friends sat together, watching some T.V, it was a relaxing night. Banjo had bandages along his arms, they were covering the cuts from when the panther clawed him. "You still cold, Kazooie?" She shook her head, she was thinking about other things, about what the panther had said, about her and Banjo, did they really go together that well? Either way, if she did feel that way towards Banjo, he'd never understand what she meant, he probably wasn't able to think of Kazooie in any other way then a friend, and she was happy the way things were between them, at least/5t, she thought she was.
"We really showed that panther whose boss, didn't we?" Kazooie looked at him. "Yea, you fed him a face full of rock, thanks for that" Banjo smiled and scratched the back of his head. "It was nothing, I did it because it was the right thing to do" then the T.V show ended, Kazooie climbed into the backpack. "Going to sleep now, night Banjo" he turned of the T.V and picked up the bag, he carried the bag to the coat rack and hung it there, he then climbed into the bed and turned the lights off.
Chapter five took longer than I had hoped, and barely anything happened,
Sorry bout hyping it up and not really making it interesting…
But I have news, because Final Showdown has been… cancelled, I have plenty of time to write something to replace it, because I like to write, and I like Banjo Kazooie, so put two and two together and I'm still here, writing about a bear and a bird
Don't forget to review.
