The Other Kokiri Child
Disclaimer: I do not own Zelda, or anything else in this. I don't even own Kyle! He's the one who gave me the idea for this story.

Chapter one
Saria sat in the Sacred Forest Meadow happily, staring at the sky through the patches visible through the trees. She was humming her song, like she usually did. She felt like today would mean something. Perhaps there was a new child appearing in the forest...? Several had done so since Saria had become the forest sage...and...since Link had stopped visiting her. In fact, she couldn't even feel his presence in Hyrule any longer. Sighing sadly, she hopped off her stump and started towards the stairs, where a giant moblin stood. As she walked down the stairs, her small, slender figure faded slowly.
Saria reappeared behind one of the many children of the forest, in the back of a crowd of Kokiri watching a small boy taking shape from one of the many golden spirits floating around the forest. This boy was different from the others...he had red hair, and green-grey eyes. Something about him...Saria shook her head and decided to send him a "divine message". Those were composed of a location to meet her in, and her name. Most Kokiri would spaz from getting one...especially since Saria had disappeared 4 years ago, never to return.
Saria snuck away from the group towards the only free home at that moment...which used to be Link's...and she carved a quick message on the wall – Meet me in the Sacred Forest Meadow. Signed, Saria. Thinking that was good enough, Saria faded back to her spot to await the new child.
The new child, fully formed by this point, blinked curiously around at the staring children around him. Creeped out, he started backing away, and (relying fully on instinct) found his way to his new home...just like most new Kokiri. He climbed the moss-covered ladder into the dusty, old house. There was only one thing that looked new – the writing on the wall. Even more creeped out, he backed his way out of the house...in doing so, he fell down the ladder. A bossy-looking boy with red hair and freckles came over, sneering down at the boy.
"You! New kid! What's your name?!" He asked fiercely. The new child stoof slowly, glaring defiantly at the boy. Of course, like all new Kokiri, he knew his name from birth. What he didn't know, was that this generally wasn't a name that Kokiri children were named.
"I'm Kyle!" he exclaimed, "and, there's writing on my wall!" The boy laughed, a cruel laugh.
"Oh yeah? Show me!" Kyle climbed the ladder and beckoned the boy in with him. Once inside, he pointed to the writing on the wall. The boy's eyes grew wide...with surprise and...sadness?
"Holy Hyrule..." was all the boy could say. Kyle felt superior, at that moment.
"Kyle," the boy said, "You should do as this says."
"Why?"
"Because, this was just carved in the past hour, I'd say, but...Saria disappeared about 4 years ago."

A/N: I know what you're thinking – random! Well, it sort of is, but see Kyle's my boyfriend –blushes- and my nickname is Saria...sooo...it kinda makes sense...kinda...not really...but things are going to get better! I promise!
Next chapter preview:
Upon walking into the Sacred Forest Meadow, Kyle found the ladder against the mossy walls quickly and knew that this would be the appropriate way to go. He climbed up, and looked down to see the giant moblin, pacing back and forth with his spear. Kyle gulped, and jumped quickly over to the next wall. He heard the moblin running behind him. He stood up shakily, and jumped to the next one.
He was thinking about turning back as he got down finally, for the fourth and final giant moblin was hitting the ground with a large club, causing air waves to send anyone who tried progressing back. Gathering as much courage as he could, he ran side to side to avoid the air blasts. He eventually made it away from the moblin safely. Climbing up the stairs before him quickly, wondering what was next, he came upon a peaceful place, with several trees making the area shady. There was a symbol on the ground, and an unreachable ledge where there was an entrance to...somewhere.
"I've been waiting for you." Said a calm, yet playful voice. Kyle turned to see the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen.
