(Anju comes to live in Hyrule for a while to escape her woes from Clock Town. She then meets Link who teaches her to confront her problems or else they'll just simply keep catching up with her again and again unless she does something about it. Link also unintentionally makes her feel better more than he thinks he intended and has a feeling that Anju is falling in love with…)

Chapter One

Anju finally arrived at Kakariko City in Hyrule. She had come here as a guest worker from her home in Clock Town in Termina. She wasn't very happy in her country and decided to get away just for a while at least until she decided what to do next. She had waited about a week to get a visa from the Royal Embassy of Hyrule in Clock Town as a guest worker. She was a receptionist and maid at her family-owned Stock Pot Inn. Now she would be working as one at the newly opened Great Fairy Hotel. Kakariko City was quickly growing in both population and economy so guest workers like her were needed to help provide needed workforce. It was night time when she finally got there but still early evening. She got a wagon that was still on duty to take her to the hotel. Kakariko was a large city she could see. There were a lot of night time pubs open and many walked the street.

Many of which walked together as a happy couple. Something she would have liked to do once but did not care any longer.

"Here you are Miss" the driver said and she got off. "That'll be ten rupees please" he said. Anju handed him the money and walked into the hotel. The hotel was very large and looked like it was a castle made from stone bricks and consisted of many structures and buildings. She walked up to the front desk.

"Hello, my name is Anju. I'm a guest worker that's been assigned to work here" she said to the lady.

"Oh, you're here. I'll let the manager know you're here right away."

Anju went to sit down at one of the several chairs available to wait. There were some people hanging around at the lobby. Anju once again gazed sadly at a couple she saw sitting down together alone holding their hands watching the rising full moon, bright in the sea of stars. The girl was leaning on her man and he had his arm around her…

So romantic…she thought. She didn't want to but thought back to her life in Clock Town when she herself had someone very-

"So you're the new guest worker?" interrupted a voice. Anju turned over and saw a large man in his late fifties or early sixties. He had gray hair and a mustache and wore a large red robe making him look like he was a monk of some sort.

"Uhm…yes, that would be sir. Are you the new manager?" she asked.

"Yes, young lady. My name is Rauru and I own and manage the Great Fairy Hotel. You know, I'm in great need of all the employees I can get. Welcome to Kakariko City. And what would your name be?"

"My name is Anju sir, pleased to meet you." She was sure to get up from her seat and bow a bit to be polite as she was raised.

"Now Anju, why don't I give you a little tour of our hotel here… I can say it is as good as any of the five-star ones at the Royal Capital over in…" Rauru began to say as he walked around with her following. But she wasn't paying attention and was lost in her own little world as the manager talked. Somehow, she had a feeling she was going to enjoy her time in this country and for a time be able to see what things were like outside Termina.

Yes, she would she thought happily for the first in about a month.

"…And just remember that this is where our luxury rooms are so be sure to be very nice and polite to guests in this section here as anywhere else and…" Rauru said not noticing that Anju was dazing off in her mind.

"…so you remember what floor you're assigned to, Anju?" he asked to see if she was paying attention but only to see that she was wondering in her own little world and not listening to him.

"Anju?"

One week later…

She hated it! Hated it! Everything here was just so much, so stupid! Heavily in tears, covering her face, Anju ran away from the Great Fairy Hotel not quite sure where it was that she wanted to go. She was really embarrasssed from all the attention and looks she was gathering from the townfolk. She could no longer take working in such a large hotel. There was just so much to do. There was all that cooking and cleaning and a bunch of other things, not like the small and cozy Stock Pot Inn in Clock Town. Her manager Rauru had told her how disappointed he was and that she was fired. Anju took it harder than she would have imagined. She figured the only reason why she was able to keep her job back home was just because her family owned it and they tolerated her. Anju was never able to know how to do things correctly or cook well. She now could see that she was now running toward the city exit. It was a few flights of stairs descending down. Good, she supposed. It would be perfect to get away from this no good for nothing city and get some fresh air!

It was on the last small flight of stairs she was running down on that she tripped through careless clumsiness and fell.

About five minutes later...

It was a bright sunny day and Link was riding through the lush, vast, and grassy Hylian Fields on his horse Epona. He thought of going to Kakariko City to pick up some food. He was getting very nearby after he crossed a small bridge which was over a passing stream when he saw a body lying down on the ground, seemingly unconscious. It appeared she fell down a flight of stairs.

"Hey, are you alright?!" Link called.

He approached her and got off Epona. The young woman had mid-length reddish brown hair and her face looked like it was a little wet. Had she been crying? But now wasn't the time to think about such things. She needed help. Carrying her with him, Link got back on Epona and headed into town quickly, making the stop to the hospital his first priority.
