Hello ladies and gentlemen for seeing my strange idea of making the first Ike x Fem!Link. I felt the need to do this as a trial run for my Ike x Link story, A Wolf's Love Howl. If you like my work please leave a review and check my other story out. I could use the support. Thank you!~

Getting Off On The Wrong Paw
Chapter 1
Stepping on Paws
Ike waltzed through the forest on his way to Super Smash Brothers Arena when he heard a loud womanly scream. He instinctly ran towards the darker parts of the forest when he saw a young woman laying unconscious on the ground. She had long pointed ears, a long beautiful dress, brown hair that was somewhat braided, and seemed to have taken a hit to the head. Ike checked his surroundings to see that their were another set of footprints, larger, monster-like prints in the mud, and weirdly paw prints as well. He picked the lady up gently and started to carry her back to the road where hopefully, he could find someone to help take her to the nearest town for help. About twenty mintues she started to move as if just awakening.
Ike sat her down against a tree as he began to speak very gently to her, "Are you alright?" The girl jerked her eyes open and pushed up further against the tree. Ike put his hands up to show that he meant no harm and spoke very calmly, "My name is Ike and I heard you scream, by the time I had arrived you were already on the ground knocked out." The girl looked up at him and then frantically side to side as if searching for something. "Where is my Hero?!" She claimed loudly. "Who-?" "Link!" Ike remembered that he had in fact, saw a different set of footprints earlier in the mud where he found the mystery girl, but he couldn't find any trace of anyone. "I didn't see anyone else around when I came by. Your friend must have chased off whatever you guys encountered." The girl shot up and began calling her hero's name walking along the rough path through the forest. Ike immediately jogged after her, "what are you doing?!" He said loudly. "I'm looking for my friend, what else do you think?" She continued walking past Ike and kept calling out into the forest. "Stop that unless you want thieves or animals to come to us!" Almost on que four rough looking bandits came from behind some trees further up the path.
"Damn it, I do not have the time of day for this!" Ike thought as he reached to draw his sword. Right as they began to charge for an attack, a large beast burst in front of Ike from some bushes off the to side of the road. The beast looked like a wolf, but was much larger and had markings on it. It let out a low growl as it leaped on one of the bandits, tearing at his throat. One of the bandits went to slice at the wolf with his dagger, but the wolf jumped back in time then jumped towards the bandit and shredded his chest with its long claws. The last two bandits dropped their weapons and began running away.
Ike in the meantime ran back towards the woman to protect her from this "beast". The wolf turned around, saw the girl and Ike, and started running, snarling and showing all its canines, towards Ike. Ike began to fight with the beast when the wolf bit his sword, throwing it to the side out of Ike's reach, and pounced on top of Ike. The wolf raised up about to tear Ike's throat apart when the woman yelled out, "Link stop!" The wolf immediately stopped snarling and looked up at the girl. "After we were ambushed, this man helped me and kept me safe as we looked for you." The wolf looked down at Ike and Ike nodded. "Why am I trying to convince an animal?" Ike thought, but to his surprise the wolf seemed to understand because it leaped off of him allowing Ike to stand up. Ike watched the wolf trot over to the girl and sit at her feet.
The girl knelt down to pet and hug the wolf. She turned towards Ike, "Thank you for helping me find my hero. My name is Princess Zelda by the way, ruler of the land of Hyrule. Link and I are here to participate in the annual Smash Brothers Brawl." She had stood up and made her way to Ike to shake his hand. Ike took it suspiciously as he gazed at the wolf that watched his every move. "Uh hey I'm Ike. I'm the leader of a group of mercenaries and was in the past a general of an army for a short time for a land known as Crimea." He shook her hand and pointed towards the wolf that by now had followed Zelda and sat beside her. "So this is your hero that saved your land? A wolf?" The wolf growled up at Ike as Zelda laughed. "Link is more than what meets the eye." She placed her hand over the wolf's head and both her hand and the markings on the wolf's head began to glow.
The whole wolf began to glow as it slowly morphed into a human on the ground. The human stood up, no longer on all fours, and looked scornfully back at Ike. Ike immediately went to apologize and shake his hand. "Sorry about that man. I didn't know you were well.. a human." The person glared even harder at him in return and shook Ike's hand roughly as if trying to break it. "What's his problem?" He thought. The transformation reminded him of that of a Laguz back home. He looked at this now person infront of him, but what caught him first was the eyes. The richest and babiest of blues. If ice and the clear waters of his homeland had came from one place, it was this person's eyes. Ike's darker blue eyes casted to the rest of the person.
Dirty blonde hair that looked soft to the touch, delicate and beautiful facial features, plump pink lips, small shoulders, overall a petite frame, crossed arm circling around a slender waist, a nice pair of breasts that made the shirt seem a little snugg, long legs- "wait.. breasts?" Ike gocked at the smaller woman infront of him. "For a woman she's pretty strong... and beautiful." He blushed as they shook hands. "My name is Link. Apology accepted. I also apologize for almost attacking you, I did not realize you were helping Zelda, dude." The last word caught Ike off guard and made him feel guilty for not noticing faster. "The one time I don't look at a woman's chest.." Ike thought, thinking that the lady infront of him may have liked him better if he had changed a word in his introduction.
Ike continued to look at the girl when he noticed something. Her ears. They were pointed just like the other lady's, this reminded him of elves. "Excuse me but I couldn't help but notice your ears. Are you two elves?" Zelda looked at Ike annoyed as if she had answered this question dozens of times before. They all began walking through the forest as Zelda told the history of their people known as Hylians and about their home where Link had saved them all from demise several times. Ike continued to glance over at the hero on the other side of Zelda to try to figure out how someone so small could accomplish so much. Not only that but by herself! All the adventures Ike had been on he had had a group of people with him. He also snuck a-couple glances at her whenever Zelda would note on her incredible abilities which never failed to make her blush and deny. "She's quiet modest for someone referred to as the Hero of Hyrule." Ike chuckled and appreciated this value of Link's.
They also talked about going to the Smash Brothers Arena. While this was Ike's first time being invited, it was one of many that Link and Zelda had been invited to. Zelda began talking about how Link is ranked as one of the top fighters in all the champions and how she will win the tournament this year. Ike swore Link was going to explode from the heat in her cheeks. "Being in the top 5 is very honorable and deserves to be boasted about. Not that I want to hurt you, but I'm really interested in maybe a friendly fight with you, if you're up to it that is. Just I think it would be an honor." Link looked over at Ike and blushed while rubbing the back of her neck nervously. "I don't mind, but I'm not as good as everyone says. There is always going to be someone better than you so I don't see the point in boasting. Also, just because we're friends now doesn't mean I'll take it easy on you!" She smiled at Ike for the first time and giggled. Ike's breathing stopped temporarily.
"I wouldn't dream of it." He smiled largly taking in Link's features when she smiled. Her laugh was smooth like warm milk and her smile was just full of raw emotion. Her lips looked as soft and smooth as foamy chocolate. Ike gulped as his mind trailed to things it never should have. Zelda seemed to notice the glances between Ike and Link and smiled inwardly. "You know normally Link isn't this talkative or friendly to strangers, she much really like you or think you're cute." "Eh?!" Link blushed hard and opened her mouth to say something, but was at loss for words. Ike felt himself blush slightly and rub his shoulder feeling awkward.
As the group approached the gates, having continued a conversation between Ike and Link (which now Link was beside Ike in deep conversation about swords and techniques), when she fell back from the group. She stood there for a second to take in the sight of her bestfriend and Hero, smiling up and joking with the loyal and friendly mercenary. She smiled having devised a plan for the wolf and the warrior and caught back up to the group unbeknownst to the rest of the party that she had even left.
