I finally figured out how to use this stupid thing. Anyway Link and Sheik are both being trained in the way of the Sheikah. They have just started their summer fun when they meet a mysterious new student. Does this mean the two boys will have a new friend to fight? =]
The two boys stood in the middle of the ring facing one another. The first boy twitched his fingers and kept his eyes fixed on his opponent. The second boy was ready to go and held his hands in fists while he waited for the signal to go.
"Now remember," a tall woman with white hair said, "no weapons allowed and no unfair hitting."
The two boys nodded in agreement.
"And," the woman raised her hand, "begin!"
The two went at each other immediately. The first jabbed at the second with pointed hands. The second dodged the attacks quickly. The second then tried kicking the first followed by a few swipes of the hand. The first boy was hit with his hand swipes and sent to the ground. They stood facing each other once more. Pretty soon they were fighting like mad-men in the ring.
*ding*
"Match over," the woman said stepping into the ring and forcing the two fighters away from each other, "the winner is Sheik, again."
The second boy walked over to a wall and grabbed his water bottle and took a drink.
"You will never win," he said with a chuckle.
"How do you know I didn't let you win," the other said taking a drink from his own water bottle.
"Because of how much you're sweating," Sheik said pointing.
"It's rude to point," the other said walking out of the ring and over toward the gym.
"It's rude to be a monkey too," Sheik said coming up from behind him suddenly.
"What?"
"What," Sheik echoed.
"That's enough you two," the woman said.
"Sorry coach Impa, Sheik is just being difficult," said the other boy.
"Go to the showers," coach Impa commanded.
The two obeyed and were soon on their way to the gym showers when they saw someone walk up the drive toward the gym.
"Who the?"
"Who's that," Sheik blurted.
"That's a private student, they do not want other people around while they are in training," coach Impa said poking Sheik in the back of the head, "They've been having lessons for a while now and they're very good. They're also very early."
The person saw the other two boys and they hesitated for only a moment. They then continued walking up to the three.
They said nothing as he walked up to the three; he only nodded and walked into the gym. He then disappeared into a side room.
The two boys looked after him for a few moments.
"None of your business," coach Impa said pulling on both their ears.
"Ouch," Sheik jumped away and walked toward the showers. The other boy followed.
Inside the shower room Sheik and the other boy got in the showers.
"Who do you think it is, Link?"
"Probably some rich kid with too much time on their hands this summer," Link said washing the sweat off the back of his neck.
"ha," Sheik said wiping his face, "Probably really ugly too."
Link grinned to himself at Sheik's comment.
The two grabbed their gym bags and went out the door. They stopped when they heard coach Impa yelling.
"How could you let it happen again! Have you learned nothing over these past few weeks? You must stand up for yourself in that sort of situation."
Link and Sheik looked at each other seriously.
"What if something worse happened to you? What if it wasn't just the telephone chord? What if it wasn't just your…"
The yelling stopped and became inaudible talking. It was all coach Impa.
Link and Sheik left after that.
"Did that make any sense to you," Sheik asked putting his hands behind his head.
"No, I guess our friend likes to play with telephone chords and accidentally hurt himself," Link responded.
The next day they went to the gym as usual and just as they got there they saw the boy again. He wore a long sleeved jacket and jeans which Sheik found to be odd considering the heat. He also wore a cap and had it pulled over most of his face. He saw the two boys coming toward the gym as coach Impa was talking to him. Link and Sheik heard the last part of the conversation.
"Promise me it won't happen again," coach Impa said concerned.
The boy said nothing.
"Promise me," she said again.
"I promise," the boy said in a gentle voice.
"Good, go to the shower," Impa said turning to the two boys, "oh, good you're here."
The boy disappeared inside and Link and Sheik had their lesson. Sheik kept his eye on the door waiting for the boy to come out, but he never did.
