Second chapter I hope you guys love it. And thank you for your nice comment. They made me blush hehe.
I got a picture of Kagome that I drew if you guys are actually interested to see what Kagome looks like. I'm hoping to draw adult Kagome too and Link (he's like a porn star for me I cant stop drawing him. It helps that I have my own manga that I did and is proud of it)
I drew a picture of young Kagome. the addy is on my profile page if ya wanna check it out.
'Where am I...? What's happened…? Navi?'
Everything was bright. Even to Link's unopened eyes, all he could see was a blinding light. He felt a soothing coolness rush over him as he awoke from his slumber. His whole body felt fresh and nourished. As though he had been reborn once more.
He glanced around his surroundings, he stared at the place with awe. Stunned would be an understatement. Wasn't he in a smaller room than this… was this even a room? It seemed endless… and bright...
Link was stood on a large blue marbled platform that was as wide as a large hall. With six different platforms on each corner of the hexagonal floor. Every platform was grey except from the one directly in front of him. It glowed a bright light that represented the light from the pedestal earlier.
Link took a step back "What is this place? Where am I?" he spoke to no one in particular. Teeth clenched he took another step backwards, only to trip off of his own pedestal, landing in soothing waters. His body sprawled along the floor landing heavily on his behind. He groaned and stretched newly awoken muscles.
And that was when he first noticed something different. He no longer had his short child like legs. His legs were long, slender and muscle tight garbed in white trousers. He still had his scruffy, worn boots; except these were larger made to fit his larger feet.
He lifted his arm feeling a new weight on them. Gauntlets made to protect the user from fierce blade onslaughts with a strong pad at the back of his hand. He stared at his body, everything was new. His body was no longer his own. He dropped his hands in disbelieve, splashing his own reflection in the process. "What has happened to me?" he choked back a sound that sounded a light chuckle. "This is impossible."
"Link, you've become an adult. You've grown up!" Navi chirped as she swung out of Link's hat merrily. Link smiled so he wasn't alone Navi was here with him all along. But still… He looked around the mysterious room. Scanning the room for any sign of anyone… or a certain someone.
His eyes wandered, searching for any sigh for the raven haired little girl with crystalline coloured eyes. He sighed as he found no sign of her. He stood up and waited for… anything.
"Navi is there any way out of this place?"
Navi flew backwards and forth leaving a small trail of sparkles in her wake. "I don't see anything. Sorry…"
"It's fine Navi" He sighed sadly. He would have to figure this one out on his own. He clenched his fist. Feeling the leather gloves clutch around his hands lovingly.
"Calm yourself Link and look around you."
Link's head shot up at the new voice. He searched to whom that voice belonged to. It was unfamiliar, a possible threat. Yet the tone the male spoke in was as calming as the room, taming Link's tormented mind.
Link's eyes landed on a tall figure standing on the glowing pedestal. He was dressed in royal garbs. His eyes were old and wise yet his figure stood hauntingly. His body was a mere flickering of light, almost illusion like.
"My name is Rauru. I am one of the ancient sages that constructed the temple of time and secured the path to the sacred realm." He spoke his voice booming and echoing off unforeseen walls.
"My body has already gone, but here in this Chamber of Sages I am able to speak with you."
"Your body is gone? What does that mean?" Link thought out loud.
The old man chuckled, rumbling the air around him. He placed his hand where his ghostly heart would be. "It means I am no longer from your world and that I have reawakened as the sage of time."
"Sage of time… hey do you think you could tell me what has happened to me? When I drew that sword I felt far away…" He said gesturing to the sword now strapped firmly to his back beneath a shield larger than the wooden Deku shield he had when he was younger.
"The master sword, Is the holy blade that those with Evil hearts could never touch. Only those qualified to become the Hero of time can remove it from its pedestal…"
He paused allowing the boy to absorb the petite information. After all the story was about to get even more interesting. So he bided his time to tell the young man what has become of himself and of Hyrule.
"…However. You were still too young to be the Hero of time. A small child could never live up to the title of such greatness… so your soul slept here for seven years."
"Seven years?!" Link gaped. He clenched his fists once again. Seven years? How could he have… that's too long. What happened to Hyrule? Wasn't it under siege at Ganondorf's mercy? Was it still the same as he left it? And what about his friends? What about "Kagome!"
Rauru gazed at the frantic boy as he struggled to remain still. "Kagome. My friend. What happened to her? She isn't here. She should be here. She was with me wasn't she?"
Rauru's gaze was unchanged as he continued to gaze at the boy emotionlessly. Then slowly the ghostly man shook his head. "I am sorry but I have no information regarding your friend…I regret to say that she was not within my power of protection. With you opening the gate to the sacred realm my powers weakened. My powers poured out the gates towards evil… to Ganondorf. I was unable to prevent him from gaining the Triforce of power."
Link seethed. Everything has gone wrong. This isn't how it's supposed to be. Hyrule, Kagome, Ganondorf. Why has this happened? If only he was stronger, back at the drawbridge, if only he had the chance to…
"Ganondorf has grown in strength since you were sealed here. But there is a way to win Young one…"
Link's head shot up, ears erect and eyes fully focused. A way to win? This chance that he would willingly take if it meant the end to the chaos.
"You must break the seals on the five remaining temples and awaken the sages. If the sages and the Hero of time combine their powers. Then surely the evil will be sealed within the doors of time. From now on… No more than before you will be faced with many trials. This is your destiny. To test your courage, to battle with power and to fight with wisdom."
Navi danced around Link's head happily lighting each angle of his newly chiselled face "Wow Link, that's amazing! If the great Deku tree heard that you were the Hero of time he'd be really surprised!"
Rauru nodded "The great Deku tree felt that you had something to do with Hyrule's future, and accepted you into his village… someday he would leave the forest and fulfil his destiny. The fact that you were Hylian like Zelda didn't change the Deku tree's affection towards you…" He paused looking at the boy who looked deep in thought. Rauru raised his hand in a stopping gesture. "You must not feel bitter about it. Don't feel bitter towards your destiny nor your Hylian blood."
Link looked up, a cocky grin plastered to his face. Though the grin didn't exactly reach his eyes. "I will not." Confidence seeped out of each word he used. His grin turned into a smirk. He drew his mighty blade; the master sword and grasped his new Hylian shield. "I will fight. I will definitely defeat Ganondorf. I will save Hyrule. One thing for sure I will find Kagome!"
Rauru smiled softly at Link's proclaimed vow and lifted his ghostly hands. Showers of crystalline lights formed and rushed around Link like a tornado. Link let the soothing lights engulf his form. He squinted his eyes as the lights became blinding. The sensation from when he first drew the master sword came back, the rushing sound of waves crashed around his head. His heart sped up, pounding along with the rushing waves.
But as soon as Link felt his feet touch the ground Link felt calmer. The waves stopped, the lights steadily began to dissipate along with the soothing feeling.
He opened his eyes as the lights died down. He was back, in the same white room where he first found the Master sword. Right by the pedestal. He looked down at the small block… he remembered it being much larger. Given that it was only mere moments ago that he saw it. And that he was still three feet from the ground.
He tightened his grasp around the comforting weight of the master sword. He glanced over his new weapon. He could feel the sword hum calmly into his palm; it was as though it were alive.
Link looked over his reflection in the blade. His face, it had changed. Not drastically but changed none the less. His jaw line was squarer; his eyes hadn't changed; which made him feel glad. At least he'd be able to recognize a part of his own body when he'd see his reflection. His blonde hair was feather soft as he brushed his bangs behind his ear. He looked different, though he didn't feel any different.
"Link, who's that?" Navi asked backing behind Link's green hat. Link looked over his shoulders to who Navi was talking about. Link leapt into a defensive position immediately. When he noticed the lone figure standing by the smashed doors? Link growled who was this guy? Was he that desperate to get in here that he smashed the door open?
The young male stood alone. His blue and white clothes revealed nothing except his crimson orbs. His clothes were unusual to say the least. And the giant symbol at the centre of his white vest resembled what Impa wore proudly.
The boy narrowed his eyes at Link's defensive position. Yet he remained in his relaxed composure. "Relax Hero, I didn't come to fight. I came here as a welcome party of one." Link remained in his defensive position; he tilted his head towards his guide fairy. "Navi, What do you think, can I trust this guy?"
Navi inspected the boy thoroughly. Cautiously going closer, Link followed close to Navi. He knew nothing of this stranger, it would be best to be on guard rather than be unprepared.
Navi danced around Link's head in an upbeat manner. "It's okay Link!" she chirped merrily. "He bares the Sheikah emblem. The most trustworthy soldiers of the royal family."
Link raised a brow, and gave a quick glance at the boy who looked no older than himself. He sheathed his sword making a hissing sound echo through the great room. "You're a Sheikah… Does that mean you're related to Impa?" Link asked.
The boy's eyes furrowed in annoyance at Link's question. "We may come from the same clan, but do not mistake me as a relative. I am the last of my family. I am here to guide you to the first temple. And to give you this…"
The armoured boy pulled a weapon. It seemed old but sturdy, made of grand oak with chains wrapped around the inside. A silver arrow head peaked out the top gleaming dangerously.
"This is from an old friend from Kakariko village."
He walked a few steps forward, keeping a cool composure. His steps were elegant, barely making a single noise with each step he took forward. He kneeled to the floor, gently placing the small weapon in front of him.
He stood up slowly. He paused, his piercing red eyes spiked through Link's form. Yet he remained cool headed. He nodded bowing in a slight curtsy manner. "My name is Sheik. I will help you on your quest. Meet me at the forest temple in three days. It is past the lost woods near Kokiri forest. I suggest you get a horse. It would make your journey much quicker."
Link took a step forward. Only for Sheik to shy a way. "Where are you going? What do you mean you'll meet me there? If we're headed in the same direction wouldn't it be better if we go together?"
Sheik chuckled pulling a small orb out of his pocket. "You would only be a hindrance. Heed my words and get a horse. I travel only by the shadows." He threw the orb at the floor causing a blinding flash to erupt where it was thrown. Link pulled his arm up to protect his eyes from the blinding flash.
When the light disappeared link cautiously opened his eyes. His eyes widened that boy, Sheik. He was no longer there. The only remaining thing in the room was the weapon that he left on the floor. "What was that?"
Navi flew towards the object that Sheik had left behind. Inspecting it in each and every angle. "I think, sheik used a Sheikah flash bomb. It a Sheikah technique they use to get away from enemies. Though this…" Navi pointed out to the weapon. "…could come in very handy."
Link picked up the peculiar weapon. Inspecting it with his keen eyes. He held it by its handle and pressed the lever.
The arrow head shot faster than a speeding bullet, cutting through the air at a fierce speed. It hit the wall creating a panging sound. A large gash was left marring the white walls. The arrow head immediately retreated back into its case along with the chains, scraping against the clean floor.
Link stared wide eyed at the damage done by a simple miss fire. Navi gave Link a fairy type glare. "Link that's not a toy! It's a hook-shot. You should be more careful!"
Link laughed nervously, pocketing the hook-shot. "Sorry, sorry. I didn't mean too." A fierce flush of embarrassment staining his cheeks.
Navi sighed and flew towards the exit of the temple. "You may look like an adult. But you're still the kid you were a moment ago."
Link followed his guide fairy laughing sheepishly. "It was a simple mistake. Could have happened to anybody."
"Yeah but it had to happen to you…" Navi grumbled, waiting for Link to open the large door to exit the large temple, since she lacked opposable thumbs… opposable hands at that matter.
She glanced towards the door that housed the Master sword. It was smashed from the outside in. It couldn't have been Sheik… Sheikah's have a large amount of respect for holy buildings… could it have been Ganondorf? After all that is the gate to the sacred realm… Rauru did say that he obtained the Triforce. It must've been him. No one would have been able to prevent it…
"Navi are you coming?"
"Huh?" Link held the door open for his fairy friend. He tilted his head "I said are you coming. If Sheik wants us at the temple in three days, we'd better get moving."
"Oh, right sorry." She flew outwards towards the unforgiving scene outside.
She gasped at the once beautiful market now reduced to mere kindle. Everything was rubble; houses were torn down into massive heaps of carnage. Curtains were ghostly figures billowing in the wind. Everything was stained in colours that represented dirt and grime. Echoes of wind flew by rustling the dead flowers that had dried up and withered over years of malnourishment. Nothing gave life to the slowly decaying town. Even sunlight was forbidden to the area. The market was a ghost town.
Link's face fell. "This is what happened when I was gone?" Everything was like a horror movie. A living nightmare to what was.
They walked passed the town square, reflecting the past with the present. Where once people actually danced in the streets merrily proclaiming their love for one another. Everything was gone.
"Eep! This place is crawling with re-dead! Ugh I hate them!" Navi shrieked, cowering behind Link to hide her delicate form.
Link back stepped. "Re-dead?" He drew his sword preparing to attack the thing that caused Navi's distress.
His blue eyes spotted a grotesque humanoid being. It stood hunched over, unmoving. It's stance was sluggish, lazy as though hope had been lost. Link stepped forward cautiously, pondering whether to attack or not. It seemed harmless and unwilling to attack.
"What are you doing Link?! Whatever you do don't get too close to them or they'll jump you. We can outrun them c'mon!" She whispered pleadingly. Desperate to avoid any contact with creepy creature. She tugged at his green hat, "The exit is just over there let's go."
Link nodded and ran towards the exit, giving a quick questioning look towards the strange creature.
The draw bridge was smashed. To the point where it was no longer usable. It had aged and rotted away with time. Link made quick work of leaping over the once strong structure. He panted from his quick dash through the market.
"Jeez. I feel tired all of a sudden." He wheezed batting his chest to emphasize his point.
Navi fluttered in a nodding gesture. "It's no surprise. The market was full of dark energy, it was a miracle that you were even able to run at all." She glanced back at the market. "It's a lot different now. Everything has changed." She glanced back at Link her body emanating her bluish glow. "What do you want to do now?"
Link thought for a moment, recalling what Sheik had said before. "Lon lon Ranch." He stated pointing in the direction the ranch was located. "I think we should take Sheik's advice and get a horse." He smirked. "Maybe Malon would let me borrow Epona for a while."
Navi nodded flying backwards towards the ranch. "Let's hope she recognizes you. For her it's been seven years remember and you've grown into a handsome adult."
Link raised a brow and smirked slyly. His ears perched upwards cockily "You think I'm handsome?"
His fairy spluttered, her blue glow turning pink mumbling "…well for human standards… you… are … quite… handsome."
"Well for fairy standard you are very pretty. You have a certain glow…" Link chuckled only for his guide to turn an even deeper red.
"Shut up! It's not fair. You got to change but I didn't change at all. See!" Navi zoomed around Link's head playfully batting him every now and then.
"Same old Navi" Link chuckled, continuing on his journey whilst tiding his hat from Navi's onslaughts.
Link glanced at the starry sky, watching as they twinkled above him. The sky was the same. Seven years and not a star has changed. He remembered watching the stars with Kagome. Every night before they went to sleep…
Kagome… will she remember him? Has too much time gone by since, everything. Link pictured her in his head. Her soft raven hair, her baby blue eyes and her childish rosy cheeks.
"She won't look like that any more…"
"Who won't?"
Link glanced at Navi, he smiled softly. His blue eyes soften drastically and his once tense posture relaxed.
"Kagome." he whispered softly.
(Flashback)
Young Link walked along the river bank following the great Deku tree's orders. 'Follow the River of Zora to get to the princess' the directions were simple enough. Just that Hyrule castle was further than Link had first anticipated.
Link grew bored quickly of the silence; even Navi was quiet strangely enough. He kicked some stones and continued kicking the defenceless rock. Eventually the rock escaped Link's merciless beatings by falling into the river.
"It's getting late Link… nightfall will come soon maybe you should set up camp for the night?" Navi suggested blocking his path.
Link pondered over her suggestion. If they continued they would reach the castle much quicker… but then again travelling at night was quite dangerous; Link shuddered. Especially with ghouls and Poe's always causing trouble.
Link glanced around his scenery. Lush green grass as far as the eye can see. Smooth blades of grass tickled his brown boots. The sun had yet to go down, its golden glow caressing Link's already sun kissed skin. Trees were dotted around in several areas providing plenty of shelter from the beautiful glow. The sound of the river trickled past his senses. The sound of the current was a melody to his ears. His dream was to travel; he wanted to see what the world had to offer. He wanted to see how large the real world was like. Not the illusion of the forest where boundaries were set. He wanted to go further than any one had ever been. And this journey was the chance that he had been waiting for, but first he had to do the Great Deku's last wish; which was to talk to Zelda and give her the spiritual stone of the forest. Didn't seem too hard. Link breathed in the sweet fresh air. After all that is done he can do whatever he wanted with Navi at his side he could never be alone.
"Your right. Besides I'm getting kinda tired." He yawned whilst stretching some cinks in his small body.
Navi chuckled "I'm not surprised. You just defeated a strong opponent you haven't even had the time to recuperate."
"Couldn't have done it without you Navi. I could have kicked its butt ten times over if I wanted to!" he smiled puffing out his small chest. Navi nodded adding fire to the young boys burning ego.
Navi flew ahead to search for a spot to camp for the night. She skimmed passed a tree and flicked across the water only to halt immediately.
"Link! Come quick!"
Link's head shot to where he heard Navi's urgent call. He spotted her down by the river bank. She hovered over a black and red… something that was half submerged in water. Never the less Link leapt down the river bed skidding along the ground kicking up some dust.
"What is it?" Link asked as he trotted over to the object,
As he got closer, he could see more clearly that the 'it' was a child; same age as him he would guess. And by the long hair he'd have to say it was a young girl.
"It's a girl. She's breathing. I think she's unconscious. But she's soaked to the bone. Pull her out before she catches a cold."
Link nodded following Navi's instructions. He delicately grabbed the girl by her shoulders. He dragged her up the bank until he reached the softer grass of the plain. He placed her delicate form neatly on the ground. He skimmed her forehead with the back of his knuckles to check her temperature.
"She's cold." Link said looking at Navi for an answer. "What should we do? We can't just leave her here."
"We'd best stay with her until she wakes up. You need to take her out of her clothes or at least find a way to keep her warm."
Link flushed; there was no way he was going to take her clothes off. He didn't even know this girl. Besides she was a girl… what if he got cooties or something? Not that he believed in cooties it was just… a precaution.
"I'll make a fire." Link shouted and began collecting fire wood as quickly as possible, avoiding any thought on taking anything off of the girl.
"Link have you ever made a fire before?" Navi asked worriedly. Only to see the boy smirk over his shoulder.
"Navi I've lived in a forest. You think the great Deku tree would let any of us make a fire?" Link chuckled merrily. "Besides I gotta learn to make a fire someday don't I?"
Navi cringed "Does that day have to be today? Can't it be when there are people who know how…?"
"Too late now Navi." He smirked placing the sticks close to the unconscious girl. "And besides what could go wrong? You worry too much Navi." The young blonde laid out the sticks perfectly placing a centre stick to start the fire.
"Now that they're laid out…" Link got an evil gleam to his blue eyes He grasped the centre stick between both hands. "Time for the spark." He said as he begun rubbing the stick furiously against the other fire wood.
----Later----
The fire crackled lively, providing warmth and light to its surroundings. Night had come all but too soon, crickets chirped in the background merrily calling to one another. It was a peaceful night. The healthy glow of the fire shone on to Link's pouting face. Link sat on drift wood he had pulled from the bank of the river. He had a wet rag rapped around his right hand. Navi fluttered around his arm.
"See it just goes to show that if you play with fire, you just get burned." Navi said using a sing song tone. "You're lucky it's just a small burn. Could've been worse."
"Yeah. Yeah. What does it matter now anyway I got the fire going haven't I?" He grumbled as he removed the rag from his slightly burned arm and threw it onto the fire. Letting the fire hiss viciously, forming steam above the angry flame.
Link grumbled pouting at the 'really hot' fire. He glared deeply at his hard work's worth of rubbing sticks, trying to flint the fire.
The girl moaned, catching the attention of both fairy and boy. Link finished his staring/glaring contest with the fire and gave the girl a quick glance. Navi was the first to inspect the young form up closely. Navi watched intently as the girls eyes flickered on the verge of awakening.
"I think she's finally waking up!"
Link smiled and crawled over to where the young girl lay. He fought the urge to check her temperature once again in case he startled her. After all they where mere strangers. He wouldn't like waking up to a complete stranger touching him. It would be too unnerving.
The girl stirred once again, her eyes fluttered open slowly revealing cloudy sky blue eyes. She blinked once, twice and shuffled into a kneeling position. Her jet black hair was scuffled after not being brushed properly, her bangs flicked into each and every direction. Her body looked fragile and pale as she lifted herself unevenly.
"Hey you're okay!"
The girl looked lazily towards Link. Everything was just too hazy for the girl to comprehend. Even the boy; it sounded like a boy, was but a blur too her eyes. The only thing that she could make out through the haze was a green blob, which was in the direction where the boy's voice came from. Her head hurt terribly; aching and pounding. It was like a herd of horses where trampling in her small head.
Link smiled trying to be friendly towards the girl. "You slept all day; I thought you'd never wake up." He placed his hand on her shoulder in a friendly gesture. She blinked startled at the sudden contact. Where was she? Why was everything so fuzzy? She rubbed her eyes clearing her vision greatly. Why was she here...? Wait… Who was she?
Link retracted his hand seeing that he had frightened her. "sorry." he scratched the back of his head impishly "I didn't mean to frighten you." He chuckled.
Navi fluttered in front of the young girl ecstatic about making a possible new friend.
"What's your name?" she asked floating around the girls form, leaving a trail of light as she passed. "Why were you in the river?" the girl trembled crawling away from the floating orb. Navi tilted her form cutely at the girl's silence, maybe she was uncomfortable? "Are you hurt? Where are you from?"
Link noticed that Navi was making the girl feel even more uncomfortable; unintentional of course. But still scaring her none the less.
"Navi stop. You're scaring her"
Navi glanced at Link. Her wings drooped. "What? Don't be silly Link. Who'd be afraid of a fairy?" she asked dumbfounded at Link's up surd accusation.
A scream startled Navi, shaking her entire form. She glanced at the girl… or where she once was sat. "Oops." Navi gulped. The girl had taken off, running into a full terrified sprint away and into the darkened plain. Link gave Navi an 'I told you so' glare before he followed after the young girl. Intent on not letting her get herself into trouble.
The girl ran. She had no other option, she was scared. Who was she? Where does she belong? Her name. What was her name?
'…Kagome…'
"Kagome?" is that her name? Who said that? Kagome. A pang of familiarity shot through her. Yes that's right her name was Kagome. But that voice who did it belong to. She grasped her head in aggravation. 'What's happening to me? Why I can't remember anything…'
"Hey! Wait up!" Link called from behind following the girl's fast paces. She was fast, he'll admit. Faster than any of the other girl's that lived in Kokiri forest. He grinned. But he was faster than all the Kokiri. His pace picked up kicking dust and rock as he raced the plain to catch up with the girl. "Hey didn't you hear me! I said wait up!" He shouted once again in vain.
The girl glanced back towards him. He smiled; this would be easier than he first thought. She glared and stuck her pink tongue at him blowing a small raspberry. He gaped. None of the girls from the forest where that rude. That was Mido who did that… and occasionally himself towards Mido. And all he wanted to do was help. He frowned and raced up to the girl.
Kagome retracted her tongue quickly as she saw the boy catch up with her at a fast pace. She began gasping for breath; she can't run like this forever. Who the heck does he think he is?
"What do you want from me?!" she demanded. She didn't know this boy; she might've if her head didn't hurt so much.
"You know Link she has a point…" Link glanced over his shoulder to his bright friend who trailed after him.
"Yeah but if I let her go getting into trouble. I'd never get over it." He shrugged as he continued on his hunt.
Kagome checked over her shoulder once again. "Leave me alone..." suddenly her foot got caught. Sending Kagome body to impact the ground. She groaned picking herself up. She tugged her left leg. Only for it to be violently tugged back. Her nails raked the floor trying to stop whatever force was pulling her. She looked to what was tugging her leg with merciless force.
A skull kid half submerged in the ground grasped her by her ankle. Tugging at her leg with its boney claw-like hands. It had a mischievous glint in its yellow eyes, intending to drag the girl under ground. Kagome wiggled trying to pry the creature's fingers off of her boots.
"Let go of me!"
"No" Link gasped as he saw the trouble the girl had gotten herself into. Skull kids where known for being trouble makers causing havoc and mayhem wherever they went. He grasped his Deku sword and swiftly pulled it out of its secured sheath. "Don't worry! I'll save you!" he promised. His pace increasing to the distressed girl.
Kagome's feet flailed at her attacker. She growled in frustration as the beast failed to let her go. First it was a creepy boy and a creepy fairy then she didn't know who or where she was. Now it has to be an earth monster trying to drag her underground. Today was a bad day. Or night seeing as the stars where all out. She could only hope that this was all just a bad dream; that she would wake up any second starting… now. "Let me go!" She cried kicking at the monster. Her legs batted and thwacked the monster numerous times only to make the monster growl angrily. She continued to kick the beast managing to critically hit the skull kid directly in the head, sending its skull flying into the air, over towards the boy that was perusing her.
Link leapt into the air with a mighty battle cry slicing the defenceless head in mid flight. Link made a clean slice through the centre of the skull. Slicing it into two pieces. The skulls landed making an eerie 'thwmp' as they hit the ground. Once they bounced off the ground they both disappeared in a shadowy flame that dispersed into the wind.
Link landed softly walking towards the young girl. He smiled and kneeled to the ground in front of her. He offered his hand to help her up.
Kagome stared at the boy's hand, her eyes trailing up his arm and past his green tunic. It was the first time that she took a look at his face. Blonde hair sprouting from his green hat decorating the sides of his face. Blue eyes that could compare to the bluest of sky. He wore a boyish grin that was both cheeky and friendly it was practically contagious. He looked confident and friendly; plus he did help her with the skull kid problem. Maybe he wasn't the bad guy?
"Are you okay? Don't you know it's dangerous at night?"
Kagome glanced away from the boy and shook her head. She grasped her shoulder and lightly squeezed nervously. "No. I didn't. Sorry…"
"What are you apologizing for? You haven't done anything wrong." Link chuckled grabbing the girl's hand and pulling her up to a stand. "And besides could've happened to anyone."
Kagome nodded, taking her hand back softly. "Umm… Where am I?" she asked glancing around her surroundings. Unable to see much due to the darkness.
Navi flew up to her, but with less energy this time. Not wanting to repeat what had happened previously. "Are you lost?" she asked. "Where are you from? Maybe we can help."
Kagome looked down at her feet. She closed her eyes hoping to rack her brain for answers. But nothing came. She was lost she had no clue where she was from; she had no clue where she is. She shook her head sadly and looked at the light fairy. "I don't remember… I don't know where I'm from. Sorry."
Navi nodded. "Do you know who your family is?" she asked again. Hoping to find key information to help the young girl. She shook her head once again. Sadness hovered over her form like a cold blanket. No family, no home what was she going to do. Wonder around this land until she found her memories. She raked her brain once again… no memories no nothing just a clean slate. There was one thing she was granted though. She was granted her identity that she could call herself. 'Kagome'
Navi glanced towards Link, who held his hand to his chin in a thinking manner. He couldn't possibly leave her on her own out in the wilderness. Maybe… maybe she could come with them to see Zelda. After all from the stories the great Deku tree always told. He always said that Zelda was all knowing.
"I got it!" Link declared as he pounded the air. "You can come with us to see Princess Zelda! Maybe we can find out where you live too."
Kagome smiled softly "Thanks. I'd like that."
He smirked. It's the perfect plan; he'd have extra company and help out a new friend. It was flawless.
Friend? He mentally smacked himself. 'Damn I don't even know her name.' he shuffled nervously on his feet and extended his hand. "By the way. My name is Link. And this is Navi." He gestured Navi by tilting his head.
Kagome accepted his hand shake and grasped it quickly making a slapping sound against his hand.
"My name is Kagome."
(End flashback)
"Kagome…" Her name drifted off along with the wind. It was quiet again; Navi was quiet like when he left the woods for the first time. He breathed in the air and frowned. It was dawn already?
He stared up the hill. And saw the beautifully built ranch just ahead. He heard cuckoo's singing to the breaking of dawn. Today was a new day. He felt the same back when he left the woods; he was ready for what the world had set for him. Link had a new body a powerful sword and hopefully new mare that would help make the journey much faster. The rein of terror will end. Ganondorf be damned Link will destroy him.
Second chapter how do you guys like it? I hope you do lol

And I ended up writing more than I first intended. Especially with the flash back. Damn that's a BIG flashback.
