I Love Myself?
Summary-
Link is asked by his childhood friend Saria to give the Princess of Hyrule a gift that would help save the kingdom. After he gave the Princess the gift she had him go on a dangerous mission to find the Hero of Time and the Master Sword. On this mission Link and his pet wolf gets hurt and his saved by a mysterious man who looks just like Link and won't leave them after Link is healed, but does Link really want him to leave?
Chapter one-
Link was laying underneath a tree looking up at the night sky as he absentmindedly pet his wolf Midnight's fur. Midnight's head suddenly shot up and he started to growl, Link stood up and pulled out his sword and stood ready to attack. Saria stumbled through the bush pulling leaves out of her hair, giggling while doing so. Link relaxed and put his sword up and then started to pet Midnight who was still growling. For some reason he didn't like anyone but Link, and he would growl at anyone who got close to Link. "Hee, hee, there you are Link!" She said, "I was afraid you had gone out side the forest where I can't go again." She said.
Saria was a Kokiri, she- or any of the Kokiri- couldn't leave the Kokiri Forest that was guarded by the Great Deku Tree or she would die. Link looked at her; she looked to be ten even though he knew she was older than that. That was another thing about Kokiri's, they never grow up. Link was different, even though he lived with the Kokiri he was not one, he was a Hylian that was brought here by a dieing woman who asked the Deku Tree to take care of him. So since he was not a Kokiri he could leave the forest and grow old.
"I didn't" Link said. He didn't like to talk, but when he did it was strait to the point, and he usually talked to get people to shut up. It wasn't that Link was shy, he just didn't like to talk and plus he never had anything to talk about.
"Hee, hee, I can see that." She said then sat down and patted the ground next to her. "Come on, I don't bite." Link sat down a few feet away from her, she giggled then scooted closer to him, Link never noticed because he was staring off into the distance toward the Castle where the Princess of Hyrule lived. "Link," Saria said getting Links attention, he didn't say anything just looked at her. "I need you to do me a favor." She said, "I need you to give this to the Princess you are the only one here who can do it." Link looked down at her hands and saw a green jewel, then he looked back to her.
"What is it?" he asked.
"It is the Kokiri Jewel, it will help the Princess save Hyrule." Saria said. Link was confused, why did Hyrule need saving? He looked back to the castle, every thing looked perfectly fine to him.
"Save Hyrule?" Link asked.
"Yes Link, though it may not look to be in danger or trouble, it is. It is in real danger, and I need for you to give this to the Princess." Saria said.
"Okay." Link said then took the jewel and stood up and dusted himself off. He walked off toward his house with Midnight following him, he climbed up the latter and went in. He walked over to his bag that held his supplies for when he had to go on journeys such as this one. Oh yes this was not his first journey for Saria or the Great Deku Tree, he had gone on may journeys, but he had never once gone to Hyrule or it's fields and lands. Once he had that he left the house and climbed back down the latter to see Midnight waiting for him. He started to walk but stopped when came face to face with a fairy.
"Hello, my name is Navi, the Great Deku Tree sent me to be your partner, nice to meet you." The fairy said. Link nodded showing he heard her but said nothing as he continued to walk. The fairy huffed and pouted at how rude Link was "How rude!" she said then flew after him.
'You'll soon get used to Link.' A male voice said shocking the fairy.
"Wh-what? Who said that?" she asked.
'Down here' the voice said and the fairy looked down to see Midnight smirking at her.
"Yo-you talk?" she asked.
'Why are you so shocked, aren't you a fairy, shouldn't you be used to animals talking. All the other fairies were used to an animal talking when they first met me.' Midnight said.
"Well, no animal has ever talked to me before now." She said folding her arms across her chest.
'Really, how strange.' Midnight said. Link stopped when he reached the edge of the forest pulled the jewel out of his pocket then looked at it before shoving it back into his pocket and continued walking. They continued walking until the moon was at it highest peek and Link made them stop to rest, that night Link had a strange dream.
Dream sequence
Link was a little boy, he was being chased around by Mido and a few of his friends and Link was scared he didn't know what he had done to make them so mad at him to chase him around with sticks and sling rocks at him with sling shots. All he knew was that he wanted them to stop. Link tripped over a root that was sticking up and fell down a slippery hill scrapping his knee up and twisting his ankle. He heard laughter from above him so he looked up and saw Mido and his friends above him laughing. They picked up some rocks and began to throw them at him. "Stop please stop!" Link cried.
"Maybe we should stop." One of the people with Mido said.
"No, he needs to learn his lesson." Mido said as he continued to throw rocks at him.
"I'm sorry, please stop, I've learned my lesson!" Link cried and he brought his arms above his head. The rocks stopped hitting him and he peeked up to see Mido smirking at him.
"He has had enough for today, let's go boys." Mido said then turned around and left, his friends followed him. Link sat there for a few moments to make sure they wouldn't come back then he tried to stand. He cried out in pain then fell back to the ground, his knee was hurt and bleeding and he could tell his ankle was twisted. He looked up and saw that the sky was darkening.
'Great, now how do I get back up there. No one but Mido and his friends know I am here and they ain't gonna tell anyone.' Link thought, 'I might have to stay here all night.' Suddenly Link heard a wolf howl some where in the distance scaring him, 'I don't want to stay here all night!' he thought as tears came to his eyes. Suddenly a noise from the bush to the left of him made him freeze.
"No! Leave me alone! Don't eat me please!" Link yelled closing his eyes when something stepped out of the bush, he heard a deep laugh and slowly opened his eyes to see a boy about his age with short black hair, and brownish-red eyes, he was wearing a black tunic.
"I wouldn't eat you." The boy said then looked at Link's knee. "Aw you're bleeding, why are you bleeding?" the boy asked.
"I fell down the hill." Link said pointing to the hill behind him.
"Well, why did you fall down the hill? Why weren't you looking where you were going?" the boy asked.
"I was being chased, I wasn't really paying attention to where I was going, I was just trying to get away from them." Link said as tears started to fall down his cheeks.
"Why were they chasing you?" the boy asked whipping away some of Link's tears.
"I don't know, all I know is that after the Great Deku Tree told me a story I was walking back to my house and Mido and his friends started to chase me." Link said as more tears started to fall.
"We need to get that wound cleaned, my camp is a few minutes away from here. Can you stand?" the boy asked.
"No, I think I twisted my ankle when I fell." Link said. The boy sighed then looked around before he picked Link up. "Whoa!" Link said as he wrapped his ams around the boy's neck to make sure he didn't fall. He then looked at the boy and blushed at how close their faces were. Link saw the boy smirk when he saw Link's blush. "I'm, uh, Link."
"I know who you are, all the animals talk about you, I've also seen you walking around." The boy said smirking making Link blush deeper, "I'm Dark." The boy said.
"Nice to meet you Dark." Link said and gave a startled cry when Dark lightly threw him up so he could get a better grip on Link.
"Sorry, didn't mean to startle you." Dark said as they walked into a man made camp site, Dark sat Link on the ground close to the fire that was going then he walked over to his bag and started to dig through it.
"Are you here by yourself?" Link asked watching Dark.
"Yes, my parents died when I was younger, and I've been alone ever since then." Dark said still digging through his bag.
"Really, my parents died too, then the Great Deku Tree started to take care of me, hey may be he can take care of you to, then we can become friends. Wouldn't that be great?" Link asked.
"Maybe" Dark said then turned to face Link, he was holding a cloth, a bottle of water, and a wrap.
"Hey, how old are you?" Link asked as Dark started to walk to him. "I'm 10"
"I'm. . . 10 too." Dark said slowly as he started to clean and bandage Link's wound, then he wrapped Link's ankle. "Link" Dark started.
"Hmm?" Link asked.
"I just want you to know that I'll always be here to heal you okay." Dark said making Link blush.
"O-okay" Link said.
End of Dream sequence-
Link woke up to Midnight growling, he instantly stood up and pulled out his sword, he looked around to see if he could see anything, or anyone. When he saw no one he sat back down, but did not relax, when ever Midnight growled when they were on a journey it meant something or someone was there. The picture of Dark flashed through Link's mind, and Link's eyes started to tear up, he then shock his head. 'No I mustn't think of that asshole who lied to me!' Link thought as he rubbed his eyes trying to get rid of his tears. 'There is no use cry over him, he lied to me. He told me he would always be here to heal me, but he's not here, he hasn't been here for over six years!' Link thought as tears ran down his cheeks, he tried to convince himself that the tears were tears of anger but he knew it was a lost cause. "Damn you Dark." Link whispered as he began to wipe the tears away.
Somewhere behind a tree near Link-
'Damn wolf almost got me caught!' A man with shoulder length black hair, brownish-red eyes, and a black tunic on. He was hiding behind a tree, he had been watching Link sleep when that damn wolf woke up and saw him and began to growl waking Link up and almost getting him caught. He had been watching Link ever since he stepped out of that damned forest that he had been kicked out of. He peeked from behind the trees to see the wolf was glaring at him, and to see tears start to fall down Link's cheeks, "Damn you Dark." he heard Link whisper. He pulled his head back into his hiding spot as he felt a pain in his heart.
"I'm sorry Link." Dark said as a single tear ran down his cheek.
