(A/N 9/21/12): Heeey... :D So, I'm just gonna... you know, edit this chapter. Since, I could've done better and this was really just a story for the heck of it at one point in time... Which is why the beginning is so... well, lazy. ANYWAY. -Haxutani
It was only five minutes. Granted, it was a long five minutes, but anyway...
Five minutes is all that it took to see Midna go back to the Twilight Realm and break the only link to get there: the Mirror of Twilight.
I never thought that she would do that in my life, honestly!
I guess that I really don't know her at all. Although, who could? Midna had hid herself so well, that at times, I believed that she didn't even know herself.
But back to the present; I was watching the Hero of Time and the Princess of Destiny stand somberly in one place. As a dry, coarse wind blew by, blowing my brown hair to the side, Zelda casted her gaze to the sand-covered floor.
I remembered everything that Link had went through in his adventure, simply because I sort of... well, stalked him. The many battles with Ganondorf and King Bulbin, the explorations of so many temples. I was almost tempted to stay in the Twilight Realm when him and Midna were there... but somehow, neither one of them even noticed me watching them, whether I was in my tiger form or my 'human' form.
With Midna breaking the Mirror of Twilight, I couldn't go back to my temporary home of the Twilight Realm. I would miss the Twili kids that had somehow became my friends, but they couldn't replace the real ones back at home. My heart made my decision for me; I believe it's time for me to back to my real home. Thing is, the way I usually take to get there, the Summoning Pool, is destroyed. It would take more than 100 years for another one to form, and I didn't want to be 117 when I got back home.
As I'm standing here out of sight, I got a feeling. Not like butterflies in my stomach or some other romantic metaphor, but a feeling that I need to get Link and that princess' help just to find some way back. Maybe just Link's. Princess can't be good help sometimes…
Quietly, I stepped out of the shadows cautiously, trying my best not to let my shoes crunch the grains of sand. I got this far without being spotted, and I was not about to blow my cover over some tiny rocks.
"Link, it's time we go back to Ordon Village." Zelda suggested, placing a hand on Link's shoulder.
He nodded his head and began to turn around. Oh shit. He was going to see me...! I felt myself panicking, hurriedly trying to go back to my hiding spot before I was spotted.
"Who are you?"
He can't see me, he can't see me, he can't see me...! As the sound of footsteps approaching me, that kind of thinking was completely shattered. Why didn't I learn that invisibility spell? Oh yeah, I was too lazy to learn it. Stupid Karma...
I gulped quietly to myself. Well, time to face reality. Turning to face him, I puffed out my (considerably normal-sized) chest and hardened my look. "My name is Kira. Why do you ask?"
"Miss Kira, It's not exactly normal to find someone spying on two people in an ancient prison," Zelda added in.
Easy for her to say... she got to teleport in and I had to be chased by dead things for about an hour!
"It's not exactly normal to find two people IN an ancient prison." I shot back, crossing my arms over my chest.
Hah! Take that!
"Never seen you before," Link butted in.
Couldn't they see I was trying to be mysterious?
"That's because I'm not FROM here, and I prefer not to be...," I explained.
"Oh really? Then where do you live?"
I shot Link some glare daggers and retorted, "That's none of your business, Hero."
"So you live in a land where Link is known of?" Zelda asked curiously, her eyes giving me a knowing glint.
Crap, I just gave away a lot of info without knowing it. Okay Kira, think... If I say no, then they'll get suspicious. Yes, and then they'll ask more questions and I'll be stuck here even longer.
"Maybe…," I resorted to a popular answer. "I travel, so I hear things…" I stated cautiously.
Link looked at me from head-to-toe, cocking an eyebrow at my 'weird' apparel.
I must've looked so foreign, with my tan and white jacket and white shirt. Yes, the jacket was unzipped. IT WAS HOT. He also took notice of my black pleated skirt that looked like something you'd wear to school. If you weren't a hooker. But my white knee socks and brown loafers (Pfft... loafers) made everything better, along with my leather satchel. And don't get me started on my tiger ears and tail, that didn't seem to stop twitching. Stupid thing. Average to you, but not to them.
"You look like a Hylian, but yet you aren't." Link finalized, staring at my green eyes.
"That's what I'm trying to tell you!" I shouted, exasperated with all of these opinions.
That train of thought was cut off when he suddenly pinned me to the wall that I was hiding behind before he discovered me. "Okay, what the hell man?" I shouted, feeling a low growl forming in my throat.
"What kind of race are you? Hylian? Gerudo? Sheikah?" Link looked at my ears. "Hybrid?"
"You don't need to know!" I retorted, kicking him where the sun don't shine.
He fell to his knees with a strained groan and his hands covering that area, passing out cold. I guess I kicked him hard. REALLY hard by the looks of things. He probably won't be able to reproduce now...
"Urm..." she uttered, stepping closer. I felt more at ease around her, probably because she didn't just try to molest me or whatever it was hewas trying to do.
"... Sooo... how you doin'?" I smiled.
"Good... I think...," Zelda smiled nervously back.
I was (Well, at least I think I was) becoming friends with the princess. That was good, right?
But now, I guess I was on the Hero of Time's "List of People to Eventually Get Revenge On" list. That was terrible.
Oh well, I'll just tell him it was a bad dream.
It seemed like it to me.
