So I just recently finished up writing, Keep Your Friends Close, & Your Enemies Closer - a SasuSaku! And I cannot but help but be sad from this empty hole in my heart. But an even bigger part of me is just so damn happy that the writing is over. LOL. I would just be guilty that I hadn't finished it, but to lazy to actually do it. So, the chapters have finally ended. /sadface

Disclaimer: Ofc I do not own :c

Enjoy this installment!


Narrator POV

"So someone bribed you into spying on us?" Zelda questioned Pit who just shrugged his shoulders in sad agreement. She continued on changing her dress into casual clothes. Princesses deserve to be comfortable too.

Once the cardigan was loosely thrown on, Zelda questioned, "Why?" with a smile.

"Nothing to be concerned with." He replied, rolling his eyes. He angrily thought back to how he was forced to do this or a certain woman would be aware of his future intentions with her. He was not ready to make his intentions known, and he was not going to let those infuriating swordsmen intervene with his plans.

Samus raged, "If it has to do with me, I am concerned. So you better tell me right now you little—"

"Samus please." Peach interrupted, "With all this attention we're gaining, he was probably hired by somebody random. Nothing to be worried about, just someone wondering about our intentions." Peach waved off while they all walked out of their flat. Samus locked the door behind them, still looking rather pissed.

"We have a battle right now anyway. Come on Peach, bye Zel!" Samus dragged away her friend to the transporter room.

A goodbye was signaled by a wave from Zelda and Pit, "Are you not going to follow them?" Zelda asked the remaining swordsman.

"They're in a battle anyway, what's there to spy on?" He shrugged off.

He's just the worst spy ever. She thought amusingly and let out an involuntary outward giggle. He looked at her questioningly, but did not push the subject.

The Princess continued with the swordsman in comfortable silence outside until they reached the beginning steps of the Dining Hall. Upon entering, A shout of Zelda! caught her attention and walked over to join the two sitting in the booth – Sonic and Toon Link.

"Good morning, my lovely Princess!" Toon Link greeted rather enthusiastically waving his arms back in forth. Zelda sat beside Sonic while Pit sat across from them with Toon Link next to him.

"'Morning princess." Sonic greeted casually as he sipped the remnants of his water.

After a moment of silence, Pit's lips made a straight line, "Good morning, Pit!" He greeted himself and muttered a forever alone beneath his breath. Sonic disregarded his comment as Toon Link grinned sheepishly before greeting the angel.

"I am guessing you'll have a rather busy week, Princess." Sonic asked, still ignoring Pit.

"Why would that be?" Zelda thought amusingly as she took a piece of bread from Sonic's breakfast. He did not seem to mind, but instead gave a small smirk.

"It seems almost everyone is asking for your hand for White Day. Apparently things got a little out of hand last night – Captain exclaiming the joys of White Day and Master Hand got a little pissed. A confrontation later, it turns out that MH likes the idea of the holiday after all. We're having a White Day festival or some sorts." Sonic explained the situation.

"I still am not aware of why I, of all people, would be suddenly busy." Zelda responded back, smiling to herself at the suddenly gained attention.

"I thought it would be obvious since there are some people that want your hand," Sonic took a sip of his water. "Some people, which happens to include me." He looked sharply at Zelda after.

She snapped her eyes to focus on a particular buckle that secured itself around Pit's arm. No doubt surprised, she did not want him to see her astonished face as an immediate rejection.

"I am very flattered—" Zelda started.

Toon Link cut in after recovering from being flabbergasted, "No! I was going to ask her!" He raised his hand in a fist-like motion, with an angry look on his face.

Pit looked interested to the conversation and excused himself to which no one noticed. He went to the bathroom and clicked his watch to call and warn a certain someone.

"So you will not believe what just happened." He was met with silent breathing, "Zelda might have a date for the festival."

The line went dead.

xXx -

"Sorry Samus! I was not expecting to crash into you…" Peach smiled, remembering how she was thrown straight into her friend. Therefore, causing both females to fall off of the level.

"No problem, Peach." Samus bit out quickly as she stormed away somewhere. No doubt angry at yet another defeat at what should have been a quick, easy game.

Yup, she is definitely pissed. Peach thought with a wince. Time to find and tell Zelda…

Wanting to sit underneath her favorite sakura-tree, Samus stormed into the gardens. She sat for a few seconds, trying to find the peace of mind to sit quietly. Within seconds she bolted back up in an angry rush. Thinking to how she can let out such mass amounts of stress, she thought simply back to ripping Snake to shreds.

Ripping his stupid smirk off of his stupidstupidstupid face. Samus thought as she pouted and crossed her arms over her chest. Before being knocked down she saw a glimpse of her enemy's face – you never forget the last face you see before death. Snake and his stupidstupidstupid face.

Samus had enough of this 'calm' stuff and huffed off to the training building. Quick-walking paired with clouded thoughts of pulverizing someone caused Samus to slam into a large body coming out of said building.

An equally annoyed Link emerged and brushed off Samus' interruption with a scolding face. He too was running off in an angry state.

What is his problem? Samus thought for a second, but the thought was immediately squashed upon seeing Snake there also training. And the cat encloses on the mouse.

"Hey Samus—" His sentence was cut short as his face was met with an angry right hook. With quick reflexes, he grabbed her offending arm and forced it behind her back. "Alright bitch, what the hell was that for?"

She held silent for a millisecond, surprised at his counter attack, but answered, "That was for earlier - when I died in battle." Samus bit out as she struggled against his hold.

"I was not the one who killed you." Snake replied.

"You dealt most of the damage that happened to me anyway. Besides, I just cannot stand your face."

"I did not know my face was so infuriating for you to see." Snake joked at her anger, realizing he was the scapegoat to her anger. He could not help but smirk.

Samus immediately raged once again upon seeing his stupid smirk, "That grin of arrogance makes your face so damn infuriating."

She could not help put pout angrily at her current situation, stuck held against this enemy. Snake saw the pout as a cute gesture and did what he thought was appropriate to do at the time.

Snake whizzed Samus around to face him.

He kissed her. Right on the lips.

She kissed him back.

xXx –

Peach sat on the edge of the fountain, upset again at another defeat – but it stung immensely more than it was caused by her hand. Her mind thought back to Samus' face of pure horror as they were launched off the island. Peace held her face her hands until she curled her knees to her body afterwards.

Looking around to see that no one was around, Peach sat and silently submitted to crying. She was a failure. She thought back to when she originally joined the Smash Mansion, her promises of becoming strong seemed far-fetched now. Zelda and Samus were miles beyond her. She was always the constant damsel. The tears flowed down and fell in a silenced mourning.

"Dear princess, why taint your beautiful face with your sad tears?" A handkerchief was held up to her face, blocking her view from the owner of the male voice. However, she recognized the voice. It was the person that launched her off that damn island to begin with.

"Why must you mock me, Mr. O'Donnell?" She refused the handkerchief as she looked away from him. Peach tried to quickly wipe away the tears, but he had already seen them.

"I was simply inquiring why a gorgeous maiden like yourself was in such despair." Wolf recoiled his hand busied hand and tried to keep eye-contact by lifting her chin to face him.

"This is none of your business."

Reading Peach easily for the reason of her saddness, Wolf started, "If this has to deal with our morning battle, everyone has off days," He tried to comfort, not used to being nice, "Do not view yourself as weak."

"Yeah, thanks. That really does help." Peach said sarcastically as she sighed.

"Well I refuse to let you think you are weak. To let you do that would mean I am letting you lie to yourself." Wolf replied. Sensing her stubborn attitude, Wolf began to wipe her face despite her struggle against him.

Peach first tried to knock the hand away, but realizing his genuine intentions she let him continue. Tears forgotten and eye-contact being held, she realized the fuzziness of his fur that framed his face. It almost made him look, dare she think, cute.

Making a funny face paired with a smile at Wolf, he looked confused, but happy at her sudden change in mood.

Link stumbled from the path and looked upon the pair looking angry, "Where the hell is Zelda, Peach?"

Peach looked at him for a brief moment, taking in his disheveled hair and clothes that hinted he was just training. "I have not seen her since earlier this morning." She answered back. Link scowled before storming off again.

"Can't help but be curious about those two." Wolf sighed as he bent to sit next to Peach.

"What's there to be curious about?" Peach questioned with a new smile adorning her face. Wolf loved that smile.

He could not help but lift an eyebrow at Peach's questioning, "I think it is more than obvious that Link has certain feelings toward the Princess."

Wolf's answer was met with an even more confused glance. He could only flash her a look of sultry, trying to give a hint of what Link was feeling. Peach only kept a blank stare, not registering any of it until Wolf gestured with a heart. Peach laughed out loud until she realized the serious look Wolf kept.

That is quite ironic. Peach thought, her mind registering what Wolf implied. The moment Zelda is wanted Link is willing to jump on that train. But beforehand he refused simply because she wasn't utterly, smoking hot.

"No, no way does he actually feel that way." Peach waved off and looked in the direction Link ran off to. "I can just tell."

"Maybe you're not as good at reading chemistry between people." Wolf commented.

"On the contrary friend, I am amazing at reading chemistry!" Peach exclaimed, "I can basically tell amazing, true, genuine couples from miles away." She boasted and mocked as she puffed her chest in pride.

The hand on her lap that was previously unoccupied was now held between Wolf's two paws. "Let us test that radar then." A soft paw went back up to her chin. "What do you think about us?"

Her eyes widened.

For once in her life, Peach had no idea what to say.

xXx –

"My hand is not all that special," Zelda grinned back sheepishly as she held one hand in the other. Sonic merely smiled at her sudden cuteness.

"It is not the hand that I especially want," Sonic commented, but took her left hand in his, "but I do not mind holding it with mine."

Sonic continued, "But, of course, they say not to touch masterpieces." Zelda held an astonished, smile with her mouth agape. But before she could muster the courage to say anything, just small sounds of sputtering could be heard.

Toon Link huffed at Sonic's lines and only thought to what he could say to get a reaction like that from Zelda.

Pit long rejoined the group, Zelda still had not replied to Sonic's declaration earlier. Pit could not help but bite his bottom lip, wondering how that hedgehog could be so damn smooth. Pit thought back to his first attempts at wooing a girl and cringed. He could not help but be rather happy he was not fighting for Zelda's affections. He would look rather… whimpy.

Zelda eventually regained her composure once again from Sonic's ongoing flirtations, "I am so flattered Sonic…" Zelda started.

"But?" Sonic raised his eyebrow.

"I do not know what I actually want. Do you mind giving me some time to think about this?" Zelda asked with a smile.

"Not an outright denial, but I will take it." Sonic agreed with a shrug, "I will give you time in exchange for a kiss, deal?"

Zelda's eyes widened and paired it off with a blush that spread from neck to cheeks. Before even giving a reply, she felt herself being pulled from out of the booth and into the arms of the Hero of Time.

"Not over your dead body." Link spat out to the blue hedgehog before he all but dragged the Princess outside of the Dining Hall.

Zelda could not register that her ex-childhood crush seemed rather jealous of the attention she got. Eventually she gathered her wits and tried to wretch her arm away from him. He simply pulled her closer and came to halt beyond the steps leading to the Dining Hall.

"What the hell is your problem, Link?" Zelda exclaimed angrily.

Link looked offended by her question, "You are not to speak to him anymore."

The myriads of emotions running on Zelda's face caused Link's eyes to narrow. Zelda looked on questioningly which later molded into a raged of unconstrained fury. She fisted her hand in a way that Link knew she was beyond pissed.

"You have no right to tell me who I can and cannot talk to!" Zelda fought back.

"No, I have more right to than anyone."

"Why the hell would that be?" Zelda kept her chin up, looking defiantly at Link.

"Because," Link started in a voice that brought out his a primal urge. And he held his arm around her waist, forcing her to hug against him again.

He continued,

"You are Mine."
