Also, there might be a little P-L-O-T Tuwist compared to what I said would happen last chapter. So. Um. Yes. Read. Live. Love. X3

Dance of the Cuckoo

As the festival rolled on through the night, Rin walked around, bored. Impa continuously tried to get her to do random things at the festival, but she declined them all politely. Impa was getting a bit fed up with this, she had been ridiculous at festivals before, but to decline to play games? Though, in a way, Impa understood. So the night went on, getting later, and later. The fireworks weren't for another hour atleast though. The traditional every year 'Dance of the Cuckoo' was about to start. The Dance of the Cuckoo was a dance done by the Cuckoos' that belong to Anju. They resided in Kakariko village, and it was very odd to think THOSE cuckoos' could dance...

So Rin sighed, watching this dance. Anju danced along with them, guiding them. As odd as it seemed, since she always complained of her goose bumps.

"Who knew they could dance?" Impa stated bluntly.

"No offense, but who really cares?" Rin said in a distraught, zoned out voice.

"I love your enthusiasm..." Impa scowled lightly.

"I want to go home..." She said, in an almost sad voice.

"...We have yet to see the fire works though." Impa blinked, hoping atleast THAT would cheer her up.

"They''re never any different...can we just go home?"

Impa sighed, knowing nothing would get through to this child. She looked back to the Cuckoo's, watching the flames on the lamps around them flicker with a fiery anxiety. Well, they were flames of course, what did you expect? The dance went on for just another short few minutes. Then it stopped, and the crowd went beserk. Rin just sighed, she never got her answer.

"Just...let's go see Princess Zelda before we leave, is that alright?"

"...Fine..." Rin sighed, giving in.

Impa couldn't help but let out a small victorious smile, she had won against one of the toughest spirits she knew. Though, she would have been lying to herself if she didn't think there must've been something wrong. Rin had seemed so zoned out. Had the dance hypnotized her, maybe? Impa walked towards the palace, Rin walking behind her. The light of the full moon shined down on them, making Rin glow practically. They walked into the Princess's garden. As always, Rin was told to wait in the Garden until Impa returned.

Rin sighed, sitting there on the cold, hard, stone steps. Awaiting her surrogate mother's return. She stared up at the bright, pale full moon, her ice blue eyes sparkling. It seemed, tonight, of all nights, the moon had some sort of wierd effect on her. She almost could not take her eyes off of it. She heard foot-steps approaching from the shadows of the archway; leading into the garden.

The beautiful, lovely, Princess Zelda stepped out in front of Impa. She smiled down at the young blonde girl sitting on her garden's steps. Rin quickly stood, bowing to the Princess lowly. Zelda smiled, shaking her head.

"You should know by now, Rin...You don't have to bow to me." Zelda said softly.

"O-Oh, right..." She rose, looking blankly to the Princess before her.

"So, you don't want to stay and see the fireworks? What makes this year any different?" Zelda blinked, sitting next to her.

"That's just it...nothing's different. It's always the same. The Dance of the Cuckoo, the games, the lights, the parties, the full moon and then the fire works...I'm so tired of it all."

"I...see..." Zelda smiled. "I agree. There should be a FEW changes around here..."

"I know!" Rin's eyes widened. "I-I mean...sorry, Princess." She bowed again.

Zelda just laughed. They seemed to talk for what seemed like minutes, but they turned into hours. The fireworks passed; and soon the clock struck midnight. Impa apologized, then bowed. Her and Rin left the Garden, on their way back to Kakiriko Village. Rin seemed a bit more happier since her talk with the Princess. As they walked on, heading towards the Entrance; a rustle came from the bushes near by.

Rin's normally keene senses didn't even pick it up, and oddly enough, neither did Impa's. Just as Rin was about to finish a sentence, she felt a dark eerie like grip bind her to where she stood. Impa stopped and looked back, raising a brow. Why wasn't she moving?

"A-Agh--"

A dark vortex seemed to appear behind her. Impa's eyes widened greatly, quickly trying to go after her and grab her before the vortex swallowed her whole; yet, to no avail. She was gone, as Impa tripped and fell to the ground. She looked around, it seemed like nothing had happened. Though, Rin was gone, vanished. A look of strong worry and concern, that you could only find in the eyes of a true mother swirled in her own eyes.

"R-Rin...?" She whispered, her voice shaking.

Dun dun dun! Another short boring retarded chaptera! Yet, fear not! The next chapter will be longer and even more exciting now that I actually have a plot! w00t! R&R please! I won't tell you what's to come in the next chapter, but I'll let you take a guess as to who kidnapped Rin-chan! -smirk.-
