Disclaimer: I do not own Sheik or Link or anything from Legend of Zelda (IfIdidSheikwouldntbeseparatefromZeldaforsure)

Title: Locking up the Sun

Pairings: Male Sheik X Link (Shink)

Rating: M

Genre: Drama/Angst/Romance/Humor/violence

Summary: Broken and abused, Sheik tries to find meaning for his existence, but when he suddenly kills a man, the King of Hyrule proposes death or perhaps another use of his skill to purpose...that is, to become the personal guard dog for his son, the soon-to-be king of Hyrule who seems to have trouble even getting out of bed.

Timeline: It's based of OOT and Hyrule, but it's AU.

Warnings: Will eventually be yaoi! (gAy sEx) (Sorry mom.)
sorry for OOCness. I won't try to have it that way, but since it is AU it will have to be slightly OOC. Also, I will place warnings on the chapters that have sexual themes, so don't worry. Lastly, sorry for typos! I'm going to have a beta reader soon!
This fic is rated M. I won't be reminding you guys of this every chapter. For now the only thing you should worry about is graphic violence...mentions of rape (maybe) I'll let you know if it's presented in future chapters.

Status: Continuing

A/N: Sooo, this is something rather new for me. I'm not sure how good this is going to turn out, but please review and let me know what you think, it means a whole lot!

Locking up the Sun

By Sasurealian

Prologue

The rain was pouring down in sheets with thunder growling in the sky. It reminded me of the sound from a few days previously when horses with angry men came crashing into our little village.

I shut my eyes tightly, trying to block out the memories. I didn't want to remember that anymore. We are safe here, we. Are. Safe I repeated continuously in my head.

Loud voices could be heard over the incessant rain which set off a mixture of whispers throughout the tiny bunker my surviving people hid in. This place had been built to protect our people from the last war that had occurred many decades ago and I was saddened to see everyone cowered on top of one another like empty barrels.

"Shhh!" I glanced over my shoulder at my aunt who had her determined crimson eyes locked on everyone in the dark surroundings. I could only make out her eyes from the light reflecting off her from the dimly lit lantern hanging in the corner.

Gasping I reached up to cover my ears. They were getting so close and my heart raced swiftly to the sound of the horses trampling above us.

"A-aunt Impa..." I whispered out with burning tears coming into my eyes. My head was hung low and pebbles that had been lodged in places overtime began to fall loose over everyone in the bunker.

"Hush child." And I did. After my parents passed away she was all I had left and I chose to listen to her carefully after that. I took deep breaths and kept my head low. If we kept quiet they wouldn't find us.

...right?

I glanced timidly back at Impa who had her hands out in defense and her eyes rose above, glaring into the surface with anticipation.

She wore no disguise unlike the rest of us and her silver blonde hair was tied up messily on top of her head. You could see the muscles and scars rippling across her bare arms telling stories after stories of the painful life she had lead. I suddenly felt like a coward before her and tugged my cowl further up onto the bridge of my nose not caring to wipe away a tear that escaped underneath.

Abruptly, and without warning a loud wailing echoed off inside our tight shelter sending everyone in a panic.

"Shut that infant up!"

"I-I'm trying!" The mother cried as she bounced the baby on her shoulder.

I glanced back at Impa who rushed over to the infant, sweeping him up into her arms and covering his mouth quickly.

Impa hissed at the mother for being so hesitant to forcefully shut the wailing infant up.

Then the voices were back, but much closer this time.

Impa cursed in Sheikah.

It was hard to recall what happened next. Everything happened so fast!

I was so stricken by fear that my body became paralyzed. People were being slain before my very eyes and bloody rain mixed with mud was caked on the people around me.

Impa had forcefully grabbed me from the bunker and yanked me onto the surface where my cowl and tight bandages became soaked and muddy. I had no idea where to look. To my right there were men in thick armor slicing through people like paper and to my left I saw the infant from before wailing as the mud and rain began to suffocate him. Screaming of terrors were around me and I wanted so desperately to close my ears and think of a time before this where my mother and father were holding me close, telling me stories about their childhoods and the fun they had had once before a time such as this.

"Sheik, I swear to the goddesses you better listen to me!" Impa began to run with me dragging behind her, trying to have my legs keep up with hers. Around us our people cried out repeatedly.

"The hero will save us!" "He is coming for our souls!" "We will be saved!"

And I couldn't breathe. I was so scared. I bit through my lip not caring of the metal taste in my mouth or the throbbing pain I could feel. My body was numb to everything around me as it was. I felt like this couldn't be reality.

"Sheik they're going to take me."

However, reality never felt so real before.

"What!" I cringed as I gripped Impa's shoulder tightly. "No, no!" I whined.

"Child you better listen to me for I haven't got the time! You are going to run! They won't chase you because you're just a child, they know you'll die without your parents, but that isn't the case for you."

I began to sob at which Impa pulled my chin up so I could see her ruby eyes, "You're going to run and I am going to protect you and fight. I will be taken, but you will go on and you won't stop running until you reach Lake Hylia. From there you will meet a man in black who dwells in the desert, who will take you in as an apprentice and train you. Do not fail and do not come back for me!"

I wanted to say something more, but Impa hugged me quickly, then shoved me away, "Go now Sheik, survivor of the Sheikah!"

And so I ran. I ran as fast as I could and didn't stop. My breath had left my lungs completely, but I kept going. All the more I cried wondering what would happen to Impa and my people.

A/n: ;; I hope that wasn't too bad for the prologue, please review and let me know ^^
