My Shadow, My Body

Chapter One: Purple, Blue and Pink

Link fired his arrow. It flew through the air and hit passed where he'd been aiming. He stopped Epona. Why couldn't he get his thoughts together? Ever since yesterday when he'd met that red-eyed person, all he'd been thinking about was him. What had he said his name was? Dark, I think. He thought. That's an odd name. Maybe he's not from around here? Well, I guess that's obvious. I wonder where he's from?

Link's thoughts were shattered as a loud gallop entered his ears. He strained to hear them better, and realized they were coming towards him. He spun around and saw a horse wildly chasing after a Deku Baba that had legs-legs?-and was running with a bag in it's mouth. He spotted a rider on the horse's back, obviously chasing the Deku Baba that had his bag. He looked closer, and saw that it was the guy he'd helped yesterday with the red eyes-Dark!

Dark clicked his heels. His horse-Mist-leaped into an even faster gallop. The Deku Baba that had stolen his bag was no doubt a puppet being controlled by someone with some strings. Mist pulled up beside the Deku, but it jumped away before Dark could grab his bag. It veered left, then right, then back in front of Dark and Mist. Suddenly, he heard his name being called. He snapped his head left and saw Link ride up on Epona at an even pace to Mist and Dark.

Dark scowled. "What do you want now?"

As if answering, Link and Epona jumped forward and landed in front of the Deku. It stopped and turned around, but saw Dark and Mist there behind it. Link grabbed the bag. The Deku turned and ran away screaming.

There was an awkward silence, then Link said, "Okay, then." He handed Dark his bag, then waited while Dark checked to make sure he had everything in there that was supossed to be.

"Nothing's missing." Dark noted. He looked back up at Link. "Thanks. Again."

"No problem." Link shrugged. "So, have you found what you're looking for?"

"What?" Dark asked. "How'd you know I was looking for something?"

"Well, the way you hurried off like that, you pretty much said 'I have to go or my friend will maybe die.'" Link said.

Dark blinked. Friend? He wasn't sure that was the best word for her-who he was looking for. But what else could he call her? Nothing came to mind. "…I guess your right."

Link smiled. "Well, since we're both looking for someone, let's look together." Link held out his hand in a shaking gesture.

Dark looked at Link's hand. He smiled and shook it. Dark looked up at Link. "Okay."

Link shook Dark's hand. It doesn't look like he smiles a lot. Link observed. I wonder if maybe he's so worried about his friend that he can't smile? This person must be pretty important to him. Well, who I'm looking for is pretty important to me, so I guess I can't complain.

"Then let's go, partner." Link said.

Dark hesitated. Partner? He shrugged off the questions he had. He'd ask Link along the way, but later. Not now.

"Okay…partner." Dark walked alongside Link and Epona along the rough trail that would lead them-hopefully-to whom they were searching for.

Dark sighed. "Admit it, we're lost!" He said to Link.

Link shook his head. "I dunno…this trail looks pretty similar to this one…"

Dark dismounted Mist. "Give me the map. Let me see." Dark held out his hand. Link hesitated. Finally he gave it to Dark. Dark walked off a little ways. After a few moments he said, "We're lost. This map doesn't show this part of the forest."

"It doesn't?" Link asked, coming up beside Dark. "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure. Look at it!" Dark shoved the map in Link's face.

Link took the map and studied it closely. Dark was right! It ended about half a mile back from where they were right now. "Y-your right." He growled, pushing it back into Dark's hands.

Dark blinked his red eyes. "Link?..."

"What?" Link snapped.

Dark flinched. He bit his lip. Had he done something wrong? Maybe Link didn't like to be yelled at. Dark didn't like being told what to do, so he understood-sort of-how Link would feel if that were the case. "Never mind."

Link sighed. "Dark…I…I'm sorry. I just don't…."

"Like to be yelled at?" Dark put a hand on Link's shoulder. "I can relate to that. I hate it when people tell me what to do."

"Yes. I hate being yelled at. I just don't-"

"You who dares enter our domain-What is your name?" a booming voice demanded from out of no where.

"Huh? Our names? Why do you need our names?" Dark asked.

"Because I said so." It snapped.

"Uh….I'm Link, and this is Dark." Link said.

"Link and Dark, you who dares enter our domain, what is your-"

"No! You have to ask if there are more of them first!" another voice said.

"Oh, right! Are there more of you?"

"…Just our horses-Mist and Epona." Dark said.

"Good, good. So, as I was saying-"

"Woah! Look out!" the second voice screamed.

A loud branch-breaking noise filled the air. Dark and Link spun around and were flattened by three people tumbling out of the tree behind them.

Dark tried to stand. "Hey, stupid kids, get off of me!"

"Kids? We aren't kids!"

"Well, whatever. Just get off us!" Link snapped.

"Okay!" all three of the kids hopped off Link and Dark.

Dark stood, then helped Link up. They dusted themselves off and looked up to face the kids who'd fallen out of the tree. One of them was holding a megaphone-that must have been him making the booming voice. The other two were holding a bunch of papers with words on them. "Hi!" the one with the megaphone said.

"Uh, hi." Link said. He must have noticed their appearances as well. They all three looked like slightly shorter and younger versions of Link.

The one holding the megaphone was just liked Link, but he had a blue tunic, blue eyes, blue boots, and basically everything else was blue-except his hair, which was like Link's, his leggings, which were white, and his under layer thing, which was also white.

The one on the right of the middle kid was the same, but instead of blue, he had pink. And the third kid was the same as well, but he was wearing purple, not pink or blue.

"Hi! I'm Blue!" the middle one said, waving.

"I'm Pink!" the pink one said.

"And I'm Purple!" The purple one said.

"Hi. I'm Link." Link said.

"I'm Dark." Dark replied.

"Hi, Dark! Hello, Link!" Pink said.

"So, are all three of you boys?" Dark asked.

They nodded. "Yeah. He just likes pink." Purple said.

"Hey, Blue." Purple said. "I think we should help them! They look lost. Maybe we could take them to R-"

"No!" Blue shouted.

Purple flinched. Dark and Link passed an unspoken question between themselves.

Who had Purple wanted to take us to that Blue won't let him even say this person's name?

They didn't know that they were soon to find out, and would get more than they bargained for.
