Demise was sealed inside the Master Sword, and Link had just lost the only person who'd been there for every single moment of his adventure. Not when he was slapped in the face with a sword by Koloktos or when a Lizalfos caught him on fire with its breath did Link ever cry, but this time, when he'd lost Fi, silent tears streamed down his face.

She wasn't actually in the sword yet, but Fi might as well have been dead to Link. As she hovered above him before the pedestal that she, the Master Sword and Demise would be locked in forever, Link thought he might've seen emotion in her eyes.

She hovered for a few seconds, and Link cried, "Will I ever get to see you again? Please, Fi, don't leave me! You're the only one who's been there the entire time! I don't know what to do without you!" Link felt ridiculous crying in front of all the people he'd been so brave for, but he couldn't help it.

Fi said to Link in that tinkling voice he'd grown to love, "No, Master Link. We will not meet again." She paused for a moment and Link sobbed. Fi cocked her head slightly and said, for the last time Link would hear, "My analysis shows that crying severly dehydrates you, which in return causes a headache. I suggest you take a nap."

Link laughed once and then buried his face in his hands. "Fi..." he wept, his voice breaking and going extremely high on the end of her name.

When he looked up, Fi's face was very close to Link's. Her solid blue eyes did not seem void of emotion, but very alive. "My prior knowledge shows that people kiss to show affection. Would you like to kiss me, Master Link, one time?" Fi cocked her head again, waiting for Link to respond.

Link gasped, and then reached out for Fi. He held around her shoulders, thinking she would just stand there, but was very surprised when arms emerged from under the shawl over her shoulders. She placed her light hands on Link's shoulders and leaned in, her blank eyes wide open.

Link very lightly pressed his lips against Fi's, and she did the same. Link tried to savour the moment- it was the last time he would ever get to be around Fi, much less feel her. Fi said against Link's lips, "Is this right, Master? My analysis indicates-" Link held her tighter and said against her mouth, "Shut up, Fi."

Link kissed Fi more, turning his head this way and that when Fi tried to talk. Fi's hands dug into Link's shoulders, but it didn't hurt. Link hoped there would be scars so he had something besides this to remeber Fi by.

"I love you, Fi," Link said against her lips. He didn't think it would be appropriate to explain in what way he loved her now, but just that he loved her. She was always there for him, always available to aid him on his quest. Fi moved closer to Link, and his hat fell off. Fi did not need air, but Link did. He pulled back and gasped, "Please don't leave Fi, please. I need you!"

With that he crushed his lips to hers again, wrapping his arms tighter around her. Her feet were barely above ground, her black fishnets brushing against Link's trousers. "Please, Fi," Link cried against her soft lips, "please don't leave me!" He put his hand on the back of her head and pushed her mouth more forcefully into his, and she didn't struggle. "I love you, Fi," Link said again.

Fi pulled back and said, "Love- a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person. Is that how you feel about me?" Link wasn't used to Fi asking the questions, but replied anyway. "Yes, Fi. I love you. Do you have to go? Is there any way... Is there any way you could stay with me? I would keep you with me all the time and we'd practice sword fighting every day and I'd keep you clean and-"

Fi used one finger to push in front of Link's mouth, and Link held her hand to his face. "I must go," Fi said, her voice sounding a bit sad. "It is my duty. I will be used again once the Goddess' Hero is reborn, but I will not take this form. I will remain in the sword at all times. I'm sorry."

Link began to sob again as Fi backed away from him. He fell to his knees and grabbed her long legs. "Fi!" he shrieked, "please don't leave me!" Fi stared at him for a moment, her wide eyes focused on him, and then she kneeled in front of him. She grabbed his chin with her hand and forced his face upward.

"I will always love you, Master. I won't forget about you- don't forget about me."

To ensure he wouldn't forget, Fi did something that seemed mean at the time, but that Link would be grateful for later- she used her hand and made a long scratch on Link's collar bone, then made two short scratches hooked to that. A small red mark next to that and Fi was trickling a small amount of blood on Link's chest. She whispered, "I learned to write it in your language."

Link sobbed but refused to touch the scars, fearing he would mess up the perfectly written letters. "Will you promise to remember me?" Link cried, sounding ike a little kid. Fi nodded once, and then flipped into the sword, gone for good.

Good? Bad? Should I continue? I was thinking that if I continued, I would let you guys decide how to keep going. We could either tell about Link's sad, pathetic life after Fi leaves, or we could write that Hylia has sympathy for Link and, since she's part-Zelda, can't stand to see him in so much pain and allows for Fi to come back and creats another sword spirit to take her place, taking most of Fi's memory to put in the new spirit. Let me know what you think! If you have new ideas, I'll listen! I'm sure you can see which side I'm leaning toward, but it's about what you think! I love you all!
