Authors Note: So thanks again to PinkSugarHeartAttacku (Tori) for reviewing again. And thanks to the new reviewers, Theodore Hastings, Addonexus Aquila, LZfanatic12 and ShadowNinja1011.

Sorry about the last chapter. I know it was lame. Blame writers block. I need some inspiration… :P

So yeah… here's chapter 4.

Disclaimer: It's pretty good that I don't own LOZ. I would ruin it. Only Miyamoto is worthy of owning it.

Zelda

"Dearest Princess," Nayru said.

"Yes, Nayru?" I said.

"This man, Rusl, you care for him?" she asked.

"Well, not really, Nayru I just met him. But you see- Link does." I said. "Rusl is like a father to him."

"Ah, so you care for Link." She said, smiling.

"Well, of course. He saved my kingdom." I said, knowing there was more I could say.

"Child, do not tell mistruths. I am the Goddess of Wisdom. I can see your heart. You care very much for this Hero." She said. I couldn't stop my heart from fluttering. I finally admit it. I love Link. The Hero of Twilight.

"But he will never love me. He's in love with Midna; the ruler of Twilight." I said, holding back tears.

"Child, I can see his heart. He feels the same for you as you do for him. Give him time. Let him grieve. Soon, he will come around." She laid a reassuring hand on my shoulder.

"Yes, Nayru. Now about Rusl." I said, trying to turn the conversation around.

"Of course. Rusl has a rare sickness. So rare, in fact, that it has no name." she said.

"But, what will happen to him?" I asked, knowing Link was very worried.

"Fear not, he can be cured. You must make a potion."

"What's in it?" I asked. I had to know, quickly. I had been praying for at least forty-five minutes. It usually only took me five.

"Only the Great Fairy can tell you. Link will know where to find her."

"But-I" I said. I needed to know now.

"I must go child. If you need me, you know where to find me." And with that, she was gone.

I was back by the riverside, but now Link was next to me.

"Well?" He said, looking concerned.

"He's got a rare sickness. We've got to go to the Great Fairy. She'll know how to cure him." I said looking into is blue eyes. It took everything in me not to kiss him, right there and then.

"Alright. I know where to find her." He said, getting up and wiping the dirt from his tunic. He then held out a hand for me to grab on to. I took it and got up, wiping the dirt off my dress just like Link had.

"Oh my goddesses! Link! Your back!" a girl said. She ran too him, arms spread wide, and hugged him around his neck. She then kissed his cheek, and I felt my face redden.

"Ilia! Um, hi." He said, his face also reddening. He was blushing? Link? The great Hero of Twilight? Blushing? I've seen girls hug him and swoon over him before, but no one has ever made him blush.

"Oh, who's this?" she said, crossing her arms over her chest and looking at me.

"Oh, this? This is princess Zelda. Zelda, meet Ilia." He said, mock bowing. Ilia then followed, curtsying awkwardly, almost falling over in the process.

"Princess? What brings you to our little village?" she asked, sizing me up from head to toe, with a barely detectable snarl on her lips.

"My castle was destroyed when Link killed Ganondorf. I'll be staying with him for the time being." I said, also sizing her up.

"Staying? With Link? As in at his house?" she asked frantically, looking back at Link.

"Um, yeah. She'll be here for some time." He said, joining back into the conversation.

"Oh, well, no matter. We're having a community dinner tonight. Would you like to bring your Princess with you?" she asked, looking at me and raising an eyebrow. Princess. Goddesses, I despise that word.

"Um, actually, we've got somewhere to go." He said, taking his hat off and running his fingers through is golden hair. "Besides, it won't be the same without Rusl." He said, placing his cap back on his head.

"I suppose. Well, wherever you two are going, have fun!" she said, faking happiness.

I held back a punch, and just said "Don't worry. We'll have tons of fun." And walked off.

"What was that?" Link said, once we got out of Ilia's earshot. I could feel her hate daggers on my back. "Jealous?"

I just scoffed and said, "You wish." And then a question popped into my mind. "Do you two, you know, have a thing going on?"

"No," he said, running his fingers through his hair once again. He must do it when he's nervous or embarrassed. "I mean, she thinks we did, but she's more of a sister to me."

I let out inward a sigh of relief, and then my mind turned back to the task that was ahead. "It looks like it's about 10 AM," I said, looking up at the sun. "We better get going as soon as we eat breakfast."

"I already had breakfast when you were praying," Link said, looking embarrassed, and running his fingers through his hair yet again. I gave him a questioning look. "I'm sorry, it was just, you were praying for at least an hour, do you mind if you eat on the road?"

"I guess not, how far away is it?" I asked, hoping he would say that the Great Fairy was very close by.

"Very. It's in the Gerudo Desert." He said, boarding Epona and handing some bread and cheese to me. "But I'll do anything to cure Rusl."

I just hoped this didn't involve him getting hurt, or worse.
