Don't Draw The Line
Disclaimer: I do not own the Legend of Zelda
This is my first LinkXMidna story so don't be mad at me if I get some facts wrong.
Chapter: One: Один (Oh yea! I used Russian!)
Link was traveling along Death Valley. (Sounds peaceful dosen't it?) The the little imp came out of his shadow. "Hey Link. I think we are going the wrong way." the imp said. "I really don't know. This map is confusing Midna." Link starts. Midna looks at it and gets one of those anime sweatdrops. "Link... IT'S UPSIDE DOWN!" Midna screams at him.
Link scratched his head and turned it around. "Thanks!" he said. "Moron.." Midna mutters. "What?" Link asked with a curious face. "Oh nothing!" Midna said. A bairrier surronded them and they jumped. Four shadow beasts appeared out of the ground.
Link attacked them with his sword, to no avail. He attempted again, and again, and again. Then he finally asked Midna something. "You gonna help me here or not?"
Midna turned Link into a wolf and then they took down all four shadow beasts out at once. Midna then transformed him back to a human. "Those things, still creep me out." Link said. "You do realize that I am one of those things." Midna said. "I know but you are nicer than them. Although your personality is a bit pushy." Link said with a laugh.
Link smiled for the first time in a very long time. "What?" Midna asked. "Nothing. Just remebering some things." Link said. Midna went into his shadow, because she didn't feel like walking or floating.
Link had gotten out of death valley and onto the Hyrule field. (Sorry I'm Ocerina of time old. But, new things are good as well) Link found a spot and laid under shade of a tree. Midna jumped out of his shadow. "What are you doing?" Midna asked. "Relaxing for a little bit." Link said with his eyes closed.
"Come on! We have to stop Zant!" Midna said tugging on his arm. "Midna, I have fought day and night for you, for about, 20 days now. You could at least spare me a 'thank you.'" Link said. "You don't get one until we stop Zant!" Midna said as she got angrier. Most people would run by now but Link knew to stay calm.
"*sighs* Fine. THANK YOU! Happy now?" Midna asked. "Yes. Now let's rest up while we can." Link said. "Fine. You win." Midna said as she laid down next to him in the shade.
Link closed his eyes and fell asleep on Midna. About an hour later, Midna spoke up to Link. "Hey Link can we get going now?" Midna asked. All she got was a snore from Link. "Ugh. He is so strange sometimes." Midna said to herself.
Midna then came up with a funny way to wake him up. "HEY LINK ONE OF YOUR BOMBS ARE LIT!" she yelled. Link immediatly jumped up and threw all of his bombs on the ground. None of them were lit. "Midna! Why did you say that?" Link asked with a angry face. Midna giggled in her impish voice.
"You fell for it!" she laughed. "Ugh. Really? REALLY? Come on Midna! I haven't had a chance to rest for a long time!" Link yelled at her. "Not my problem." Midna said. "Midna, fine. If you won't let me stop to rest here then i'm going back home to rest up for a day or two!" Link yelled. "You..want to go home?" Midna asked with a concerned face on.
"Yes!" Link argued. "Ugh. Fine. I'll never understand you light creatures. One one day! Ok?" Midna half-yelled at him. "Ok." Link said. Link dashed off to Ordon village. Link started to enter the province when Midna entered his shadow.
"Why are you so scared of showing yourself?" Link asked Midna. "Because, Link, people would misunderstand me." Midna said. Link just shrugged. "Hm." he muttered. Link arrived at his house in Ordon and found that Colin hitting his targets with his wooden sword. "Hey Colin!" Link said. "Hey Link!" Colin yelled as he stopped and ran over to Link.
"How have you been Colin?" Link asked. "Great! What about you?" Colin asked eager to ask him something else. "Alright. How's Ilia been?" Link also asked. "She's sad that you left. Canyoutrainme?" Colin asked. Link was confused. He asked about how his friend was, and he got an answer but, he was also asked to train someone.
"Can't Rusl do it?" Link asked. "No. He's too stubborn to be able to do it." Colin said as he kicked a rock. "Hm.. Let me think about it." Link questioned. "Ok. But are you back for good or are you leaving again?" Colin asked. "I'll be leaving tomrrow. I guess I was homesick." Link said. "Oh. Ok." Colin said with his head facing down.
Link smiled and ruffled his hair. Ilia then walked over to Link's house and said, "Hey Colin! Your mother wants you...Link?" Ilia asked."Hi Ilia." Link said warmly. Ilia ran up and hugged her friend. She then slapped him across the face. "What was that for?" Link asked. "That! Was for not telling us where you went." Ilia asked.
"I'm sorry. It's really complicated right now." Link said. "Now? Does that mean..You're leaving again?" Ilia asked. "Soon, yes." Link replied. Ilia looked depressed. "Don't worry Ilia, before I leave i'll make sure to spend some time with you." Link said. Ilia looked up and smiled at her friend.
They walk off. Link begins to climb the ladder to get into his house when Midna appears. She hits him in the face and causes him to fall to the ground. "What?" Link asked. "That was for making me stay here." Midna said. Link rubs the spot where he had been hit. He climbs the ladder again.
As Link enters, the whole place is a mess. Midna comes in and yells, "YOU HAVE A REALLY CRAPPY HOUSE HERE LINK!" Link replied, "Sorry, I haven't had a lot of time to clean up." Link said. Midna sighs and looks for a bed. There's one. "I guess I'll sleep here then." Midna said. "That's my bed!" Link argued. "Listen, I'm not sleeping on the floor for one, and two! You forced me to come here so I get the 'Guest' treatment." Midna said.
"Ok." Link said, defeated. "Ok? You're not going to argue with me anymore?" Midna asks, confused. "I don't see the point as the only reason that I wanted to go back here is to sleep in my own bed and relax for a day or two." Link said as he laid down on the floor. Midna looks at Link's depressed face.
"Not my problem." Midna said.
2 hours later...
It was really hard raining. Midna had a hard time sleeping. Midna began to think, "Wow. I really screwed our friendship up. He wants to go home and sleep in his bed. All I do is argue. Why does he help me?" Midna pondered this question for a few minutes and then decided.
"Link? You still up?" Midna asked. "Yep. Why?" Link asked. "Come on in your bed." Midna replies. Link jumps up. "What?" he asked. "You wanted to sleep in your own bed. Come on in. But i'm sleeping in it to!" Midna half-yells. Link smiles and cracks his back, due to the rough surface of the floor. "Thanks Midna." Link said as he laid down in bed.
"Yea. Yea." Midna argues. Link smiled and hugged her. "Good night." Link said. Midna was really uncomfertable but then setteled into the warmth of Link's arms. "Goodnight. Link." Midna said as she cuddled up to his chest.
The Next Morning...
Midna wakes up only to find Link not in bed with her. She begins to get angry and then walks downstairs to his front door. As soon as she got to the door she hears a voice. "Midna? Are you up yet?" the voice said. Midna easily recgnoised this voice as Link's.
Midna walks into the kitchen, ready to yell at Link. "Goodmorning sleepyhead." Link said with a smile. "Goodmorning Link." Midna said. "You hungry?" Link asked. "Just a bit." Midna said. Link pulled out some food for Midna and him to eat. "Good. Let's have a good breckfast before we leave." Link said.
Midna sighs, "Link?" she asked. "Yes?" Link asked. "Tell me, why do you help me?" Midna asked. "What do you mean?" Link asked. "I mean why do you help me to get home if all I do is complain and boss you around?" Midna asked. Link smiled, "Well Midna, it's because of many things. First, what kind of person would I be if I didn't?" Link implied.
"Secondly, you are fighting to recover your home, everybody deserves a home." Link said. "And lastly, when I first saw you, you looked kinda..." Link pondered what he was going to say but then was interrupted by Midna. "I looked ugly?" Midna asked as she began to well up in the first tears of her lifetime. "No! You aren't ugly in any way Midna. You're actually kinda cute." Link said.
Midna looked up into his eyes. Hers were tear stained. "Y-You think so?" Midna asked. Link smiled and then replied, "I don't think. I know." Link said. Midna smiled and happily jumped into his arms.
"No one..." she sniffed. "Has ever said that to me.. not even my own mother or father..." Midna said. Link smiled and brushed her hair lightly with his hand.
"Then it's long overdue to be said." Link replied. Midna looked back at him, smiling. Another first. "L-Link?" she asked. "Yes Midna?" Link asked. "I guess we can stay here a few more days." Midna said. "WHOHOO!" Link yelled. Midna looked at him, he was happy.
Midna and Link ate breckfast rather quickly. "What now though?" Midna asked. "Hm.. Let's go into town." Link said. "You go, I can't." Midna said. "Aww. Come on. If they try to hurt you then i'll make them understand." Link said. "Thanks Link. You're a good friend." Midna said.
Link climbed out of his treehouse with Midna on his shoulders. Colin ran toward them. Colin stopped right in front of Link. "L-L-Link! THere's something behind you..." Colin said, scared. "Where?" Link asked as he turned around and didn't see anything. "N-N-No. O-On your shoulders..." Colin said.
"Oh her? Colin this is Midna, my friend. Midna? This is Colin my friend. "Sorry if I scared you." Midna said. "I-It's ok.." Colin said. "Uh... Link? Ilia wanted to see you." Colin said. "Alright. Thanks!" Link said happily.
Link entered town and everyone was giving Link and Midna death stares. Link found Ilia out by the ranch. "Hi Ilia!" Link said. "Hi Link... Uh.. Link!" Ilia said. "It's ok Ilia, Midna dosen't hurt people... unless provoked. Then they will die in a few seconds..." Link said happily.
"Hi. I'm Midna. I'm guessing your Ilia?" Midna asked. "Y-Yes.." Ilia asked, scared. "Link, why is everyone so scared of me now?" Midna asked. "Not sure." Link said. Just then Rusl ran over to them with his sword coming down around Midna. Link pulled his sword out and yelled, "ARE YOU CRAZY!" as he blocked it.
Link knocked the sword out of his hands. "Why did you attack her?" Link demanded. "She is one of those demons that attack Hyrule. Is she not?" Rusl asked. "*sigh* Why does everyone keep asking that?" Link said. Rusl grabbed Ilia's hand and ran off toward town.
"Looks like we may be in some trouble." Link said. Midna sighed heavily, "I just ruined your 'vacation' didn't I?" Midna asked. "No. You just made it more...interesting.." Link said as he walked towards town.
Everyone was gathered at the gates of the ranch. The mayor stepped up. "Link. We have come to a decison. You either slay that beast there or we banish you from our village." he said. "Slay her? That would be like me killing Ilia! I can't do it she's my friend! I don't hurt friends!" Link said.
"That 'thing' is your friend?" the mayor objected. "Yes. And I won't let any of you hurt her." Link said as he got his sword and shield ready. All of the villagers were scared as hell, the only one with any expierence of fighting is Rusl and even he can't defeat Link. "I'm sorry Link but we must banish you from our town." the mayor said.
Link cussed under his breath. "FINE! But if they come back and I'm not here to help, don't come crying to me for it!" Link said as he walked back to his house with Midna.
"L-Link. Why did you protect me?" Midna asked. "You're too good of a friend to lose Midna." Link said with a smile and a wink. "Your the best friend I could ever ask for Link." Midna said. Link smiled and said, "Come on. I need to grab a few things from my treehouse before we go." Link said.
Link entered and grabbed some clothes and all of his rupies. "Let's go!" Link said as he ran out of his house and out onto the unforgiving plains of the Hyrue field.
