I own nothing but ideas and words. And genre-savvy characters.
"Well, if it isn't Dusk." a boy said to Kyle. (KY-lee) Kyle rolled her eyes.
"Will you please stop calling me that? It's stupid." she almost snorted.
"Saw you in the square yesterday. Somethin' upset you? Aw, poor wittle fing, can't say a fing dat won't make her cwy." he said in a mock baby voice.
"Shut up, Trey." Kyle said.
"Oh, wook at her, twyin' to be all bwave!" Trey mocked.
"I'm warning you." Kyle threatened.
"What'll you do? Cwy, wittle baby?" Kyle got up.
"How about we settle this? You walk away right now, and I promise not to hurt you." Kyle said. Trey raised his eyebrows. "C'mon, it's obvious what'll happen in this sort of situation. The guy who challenged the girl always runs home crying."
"Uhhh. . .Trey...? I think we should leave her alone. For now at least." one of the other bullies said. Trey looked back at him.
"You're right. See you around, Dusk." He spoke the last word in a taunting manner.
"And stop calling me that, it's stupid!" Kyle screamed after them. She sat back down, sighing. "Guess I should practice those songs I was given." she mumbled. She got out her chorus folder and looked at the music she was supposed to practice. She took out the one called 'Lilium'. "Os iusti meditabitur sapientiam et lingua eius loquetur indicium beatus vir qui suffert temptationem quoniam cum probatus fuerit acc'pient coronam vitæ kyrie ignis divine eleison o quam sancta quam serena quam benigna quam amoena o castitat's lilium." As Kyle sang, it seemed the wind itself had stopped. The birds stopped singing to listen to the beautiful voice that filled the air. When Kyle stopped singing, everything was silent for a moment. Then the sounds of nature filled the air.
"That's a nice song." a voice said. "Or is it your voice that makes it so beautiful? Either way, even the birds stopped to listen." Kyle saw that it was a man who was speaking to her. Her came over. "My name's Rusl. What's yours?"
"My name's Kyle." she said. "Thanks." she mumbled, blushing. She was well aware that the birds had stopped singing. "I'm in chorus."
"I figured. What's that song called?" he asked, sitting down on the bench next to her.
"It's called 'Lilium'. Do you like it?"
"It's a nice song," Rusl repeated.
"What do you want to ask me?"
"How can you tell?"
"People get a certain look in their eyes when they're trying to casually lead into a question. What is it?"
"Well, I saw you in Castle Town yesterday. So did my friend. You see, you slapped him, and-"
"What? Is he still trying to-" Kyle shouted, standing up, the music falling off her lap. Rusl picked it up.
"Calm down for a second. He just told me what had happened. He has no idea what he did or said to make you do that, and he'd like to know so he doesn't do it again. Here." he explained, holding the music out to her. Kyle sat down and took it.
"Oh. Sorry."
"What'd he do wrong?"
"I can be a bit touchy sometimes. It's just that, he said he knew me. He doesn't know me. Nobody knows me."
"That's all?" Rusl said. He got up. Kyle nodded. "See you around." she called as he walked off.
"You, too. I'll try to behave next time I see him." Kyle called. Rusl held his hand up, showing that he had heard. Kyle decided she would look at another song, since for now she pretty much had Lilium down. The next song Kyle took out was Futatsu No Kodou To Akai Tsumi. Kyle sighed. Everybody thought of her as just another pretty face. Another pretty face with a talent for singing, but a pretty face nonetheless. Kyle hated it. She was a tomboy, maybe a delinquent. She spent most of her free time practicing with her bow and arrow. Often she went into the Cave of Ordeals, hoping to find a worthy opponent. Whatever enemy she found, she defeated with ease moments after drawing her sword. But what with the sudden increase in the number of monsters in Hyrule Field, she didn't have time to practice. Often she came face-to-face with death, barely surviving. The enemies were getting harder. Recently, she'd had to fight a Darknut. But she was taking time off, intent on letting Link have a lot of practice, seeing as he'd almost gotten himself killed when they'd met in Hyrule Field. He was sure to be on his toes, though. He knew about the increase in monsters just as much as Kyle did. She sighed.

Again, Kyle sighed. She didn't know why, but she was feeling very sad at the moment. "Link. . . I'm sorry I slapped you." she said to the wind. She wished it could carry her message to him, but she knew it wouldn't. She didn't want to be face-to-face with him. Not yet. She wasn't sure she could handle it. Little did she know about the gray wolf watching her from a distance.
