A:N// Ho hum ho. Well, if you are fans of my other story Lazuline Rubies, have no fear that that will still be update. However, searching around this lovely website of ours, I did not find one Sheik/Link modern fic. And I decided, I was going to go on a Shink rampage! I've got some one-shots in the works, this, and of course Lazuline Rubies. And hey! Our Shink category needs some loving! I urge you all to write, and post, some Shink fiction.

The inspiration from this fic came from calculus and my desire not to do it.

Note: Looking for a beta for this story, 'cause I don't want to place more pressure on my Lazuline Rubies ones.

CHANGING PEN NAMES IN TWO WEEKS TIME!

Also, huge note, THE POVs WILL CHANGE CHAPTER TO CHAPTER, I will tell you at the beginning who it is so there is no confusion. M'kay? M'kay.

Chapter One: Link's POV

Lime Fish

I've got it! I've finally got it! I felt like laughing right now in triumph! I finally got it! Take that Zelda, who gets to go home and tell mom and dad they're doing good in calculus now?

Well, you still do but I get to too now!

Hear me out. The equation is as infinity approaches the limit it equals x plus y. Now, think about the symbols there for a second, limit is abbreviated to "lim".

SO! As the fish, (Infinity symbol) approaches becoming lime (because the stupid creators of calculus just left out the e, just like graders) then it equals delicious and you have to kill it and eat it! Which is the x, you know, little x's on the eyes? Yeah… But then you feel sad because you kill the limey fish and have to question the reason of WHY (y, get it?) you killed the fish and what the meaning of life is.

So, in short, fish approaches limey-goodness and then you eat it and regret it.

That's basically calculus in a nutshell. Limey fishes, which are us the students, think that it would be a good idea to take a hard class like calculus the x, and then question why they did it in the first place and how this could benefit our lives in any way whatsoever, the y.

Do you see how much calculus sucks? I just turned an equation into a fish into a person.

I've always been better at English and metaphors….Well, at least better at them than math in general. Though History and Geography were always my strong suits and Gym, but I don't really consider that so much of a class than just a running period.

"Mr. Kokiri! Mr. Kokiri are you even paying attention?" I snapped my attention to Dr. Rauru, we had to call him Dr. because….actually, I forget why. I am sure it's a good reason.

"Sorry, what was the question?" Zelda kicked me underneath the table, silently albeit violently telling him to pay attention. I fixed her with a glare that she just rolled her eyes at. Note to self, take glare lessons. Do they offer glare lessons?

Hm, should look into that……

"-And so is the function a positive infinite or a negative infinite?" I blinked, which got me another sharp kick from Zelda.

"I…..have no idea." Feigning ignorance was a lot better than saying I was thinking about glaring lessons. This also got me another stinging kick. By the end of the day I was going to have a limp if this kept up!

Dr. Rauru sighed and repeated how to do the problem and asked again, which by now he had my full attention, so I told him the answer. He seemed pleased, well, not fantastically, but pleased that I finally got it.

Zelda glared at me which I promptly countered by sticking out my tongue.

Is it the most mature thing to do? No, but do I care? No. My sister deserves it anyway. Zelda just rolled her eyes which I smiled smugly at.

Link: 1

Zelda:0

Zelda kicked me as if reading my mind. I winced, she always managed somehow to hit the same exact spot. Fine, Link's shin: 0.

The bell rang, which was actually just the weird mixture of 'duns.' No joke, it went like 'dun dun dun duuuuun.'

Our school was pretty weird.

But this bell signaled geography, in which case made me happy. I don't share the class with Zelda so my shins are safe! I got up, packing all my things and waited for Zelda.

She still was my sister, she just had something with kicking.

"Could you pay attention in class, even a little Link?" I rolled my eyes at her, she was the straight A student that never had trouble in any of her classes. Me? I was just the athlete in the family, though not like football, but archery and horse back riding and the like.

Football is so over rated.

"I could Zelly, I really could. But you see, I don't want to be that limey fish that gets eaten. I just don't want to do it." I laughed as Zelda's face adopted a completely bewildered expression and walked to my next class.

I met Saria, a friend of mine, halfway to my class as I always did. She was a really energetic girl once you knew her, but quiet around people she didn't know. She had some rather crazy tendencies though, dying her hair green was one of them. It fit, don't get me wrong. Just weird.

"Hey Link. How was math?"

"Like a lime fish. How was your math class?" Saria was completely used to my random comparisons and she just took it in stride.

"Like a math class, what do you expect?"

"You asked first." She looked at me and blinked and smiled slowly. "Well, then I guess it was like a lime fish."

"Nope, only calculus is a lime fish, well, that and German…."

"Oh." We walked in silence from then on, Saria probably pondering what made a lime fish a lime fish and me pondering what Saria was pondering.

We reached geography and took our seats in the back, we were always last to arrive. For some reason I gained quite a bit of popularity but I didn't like attention, so we always took our seats last so no one would seat near us.

It worked so far.

We looked up at the board, waiting for Mr. Gaebora to begin the lecture. He was kind of a senile old man, but he also was never short on advice. Ever.

He started talking about the mountain ranges in middle Asia, I of course was halfway paying attention while Saria was furiously taking notes, carefully highlighting all the information that would be on the test.

The door swung open, giving most of the students a grateful distraction and twenty-six heads all pivoted towards the door and the new student that had just walked in.

He was tall and lanky, really thin but the kind of thin that you know has some power behind it. His hair was a golden blonde, hiding one of his eyes in the classic "emo position." His eyes were a deep red, probably by contacts because I am pretty sure no one has natural red eyes. He was dressed in loose fitting khakis and a tight long sleeve blue shirt, which made no sense since it was summer.

He went up to Mr. Gaebora and handed him a note which made him search for his glasses for a full two minutes, before realizing they were on his head. The boy all the while just waiting patiently, turned away from the class.

"Ah, new student is it? Sheik Dae? How do you pronounce that? Day?"

"Actually," his voice was soft and had this odd rhythm to it, "It's pronounced 'Die.'" A couple of students started snickering, which it seemed like the boy pointedly ignored.

"Die? Then why is it spelled like that?" He shrugged slightly, obviously not wanting to go into more detail than he needed to. "Alright, well, go take a seat. I'll catch you up on homework after class." He nodded softly and then headed to the back of the class, where I was and sat next to me.

It didn't bother me, he just looked like one of those quiet emo boys, we didn't have very many but normally they were nice enough people. And they weren't they fanboyish or fangirlish type, which was good enough for me.

Mr. Gaebora continued his description on the mountains in Asia as if they were the most magnificent things ever created. I doubt they were. Though, if the legends were true and they had dragons, that would be cool.

But I bet those dragons weren't nice at all. Dragons normally aren't, but in Chinese culture they were. But I suppose China isn't "Middle Asia", it's more like to the southeast of it, though part of it is relatively middle.

Would that part have dragons in it? Do dragons discriminate against other countries? I don't think so, they have them in Europe too. Or, rumored to I suppose.

The bell rang, cutting off my trailing thoughts, I never normally zoned in geography, but I guess I was just tired.

I started packing my things, I was normally last in geography to pack up their things because unfortunately, I shared the class with a bunch of deadbeats. No offense, but if I hear Tingle go "Kooloo-Limpah" one more time, I am going to scream.

I was just about to leave the room when Mr. Gaebora called for me, I turned and saw him and the new kid standing and looking at me.

Hated being stared at.

"Yes?" Mr. Gaebora smiled at me, "Link, since you're my star pupil," oh yeah, slather on the compliments. He's going to ask me to do something. "Could you help Sheik catch up the homework he's missed from this chapter?"

Knew it.

The boy, Sheik, looked mildly surprised, as if he wasn't too keen on the idea of having help. I couldn't deny a teacher though, "Of course."

"Great!" I could see by Sheik's slumping shoulders that he did not share the same idea. "Well, I am off to lunch break, Sheik, all of your homework is in those files over there, take one from each file." He nodded slightly and moved over to files as Mr. Gaebora left.

"I don't have to help, if you don't want me to." I felt sort of awkward helping someone who obviously didn't want it. But he merely shrugged, still taking papers from the files.

"Is it hard?" I tilted my head, pondering the question. I didn't think it was hard, but a lot of other people did. "I guess it depends on your perspective…."

He looked up at me at that, red eyes fixed on my own blue ones with an eyebrow quirked. Did I mention I hated being stared at?

"Um….so what's your schedule look like?" At this point I would say just about anything to get him from staring at me like that. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a neatly folded piece of paper, which he tossed to me.

I unfolded it and discovered we had this class, gym, and calculus together. He had higher levels of English, History and was taking French instead of German.

So this kid was brainy, eh?

"So, anything on there interesting?" He scared me out of my wits, from the time it took me to unfold his schedule he managed to somehow sneak silently behind me.

"Don't do that!" He tilted his head a centimeter as if asking what and then looked pointedly at his schedule. "Oh, yeah. We've got Calc and Gym together. Gym's a pretty cool class…."

"What about Calculus?"

I blinked, then smiled, "It's a limey fish." I just laughed at the expression that Sheik gave me and decided to explain it to him. He just kept blinking throughout it which made me a little self-conscious, but at the end, he managed to crack a smile.

"Why couldn't the fish be strawberry?"

"Well, because….."

…….

Why couldn't it be strawberry?

A:N// So, first chapter done and there will be many more to come! And whoever can say where Sheik's last name comes from and what it means, you get a cookie!

Anyway, as always, review and criticize.

OH AND I NEED A BETA FOR THIS STORY!

Namaarie,
