Hey everyone, you don't have to read this little author note but it is nice if you would like to. So I'm sorry for the slow update and the small chapter, but lately my life's been spiraling in an odd manner and I forgot about this until I got a loverly review... So, thank you. smiles slightly All of you. So there's one part in this chapter that'll make you think 'OMG CROSSOVER D:::' but that;s not really the case. I'm merely using their personalities and looks cause it's easier then using an OC, cause I made a vow to myself that this story would contain no more then three ocs, and I don't want to waste it. Besides, my little blondie nobody makes an awesome guardian. But not really, seeing as he can't fight well, but THAT'S A LIE TOO BECAUSE I DIED SEVEN TIMES TRYING TO DEFEAT HIM OIFDJKSAFDSJALKFAFDOPSKL

Well anyway, I hope you all enjoy this chapter. DRAMATIC PLOT TWISTS ENISSUE FROM THIS CHAPTER, BE PREPARED AND PAY ATTENTION. Cause the little details are what matter from here on in.

Blind ambitions chapter 4: Treasure

I woke up to the noise of birds chirping through the windows. I groaned quietly and tried to sit up, only to find a pair of arms that belonged to a certain hero around my waist. I tried to sit up and pull myself away from the kid, but it only caused him to snake his arms around tighter. I could feel my ears heat up slightly against this action.

Grreeeeaaat.

I didn't want to wake him up however, so I merely plucked the arms off of my waist and crawled out of bed silently as to not disturb him. I let my hands run over the familiar ladder rungs and climbed down, making my way to the kitchen. "He's probably hungry…" I pondered aloud, running my hands over the cupboards until I found the one I wanted, pulling a frying pan out of the cupboard and shutting it. I then turned to the stove and loaded it with wood before setting it aflame.

"Dark?" A very hesitant voice called down. Heh… I kind of feel sorry for him, I knew that feeling of being helpless at one point. I walked back up the ladder and smiled slightly in the general direction of Link. "Morning, your highness." I fake bowed, although I knew he wouldn't see it. But that will change soon…

"Morning, my loyal slave." He mumbled back, breaking out a yawn halfway through his sentence. I frowned. "Slave?"

"Yes, you're not worthy of being called a servant." He replied, amusement teasing his voice.

"You know, I could say something really low right now, but I won't since I don't stoop to your level." I muttered. Some people just don't get how much a comment could hurt. I know he was joking around… but he doesn't understand the half of it.

"… Look Dark… I didn't mean for that to offend you-" I brought up a hand to silence him, even if he couldn't see it. "Think nothing of it, you didn't know any better."

And with that, I went back downstairs to leave him to think over his situation.

—o—

After getting cleaned up and washed off, the two decided to descend out into the world again, Link stumbling and tripping all the way with Dark being by his side every step of the way.

"So what are we after anyway?" Link asked, turning to the other man with the ebony hair. "Vaati?"

"In a sense, we are." Dark nodded, crossing his arms. "Vengeance is nice, you and I both know this, but… What we really want first is o—your sight back."

"Fat chance." Link rolled his pale blue eyes. "Vaati probably knows something that'll help me, but like HE'S gonna do anything about it."

Dark nodded. "You're right. But we aren't going to seek help from him. We need to turn treasure for this. The Sapphire of sight to be exact."

"Well that's a pretty lame name." Link stated bluntly, crossing his arms. Dark had to grab one of them and pull Link out of the way slightly for he was about to run into a tree. Link had, after a few situations, got used to this and didn't hesitate against Dark as he pulled the blond away from certain humiliating 'doom'.

"I know, but they all tie in with the stones of sense." Dark added.
"Lame name…" Link repeated.

"I get it, Link. But you won't be complaining when you see them work." Dark rolled his eyes. "There are six stones of sense: The Topaz of Touch, giving the sense of touch to the owner, emerald which provides the sense of taste as odd as it sounds. Then there's the sapphire of sight, which give the holder advanced sight, and the amethyst of apprehension, giving the power to hear and understand others. There's one more, but many a man have gone in search of it and drove themselves mad over it. No one knows where it may lay, but it has been heard to be in the desert. Its called the diamond of foresight, and it—"

"Grants the holder the power to see into the future two weeks ahead. Yes Dark, I've head of the last two." Link added with a sigh. "There was a group of knights that went after it, they never returned."

Dark nodded. "It has happened to me as well. Normally these stones are only granted to the people who need them and are worthy to hold them, but a certain someone has been going after them…" the man muttered, grabbing Link's arm to pull him away from yet another obstacle.

"Vaati?"

Dark smiled smugly. "You catch on fast."

"So we need to get to the Sapphire first?" Link asked, stopping with a bump as Dark stopped as well. He tugged on Link's sleeve softly and the two sat down.

"Yes. I know where it is as well, unfortunately Vaati does too." Dark muttered with a sigh. "Good thing he's more focused on the diamond or we… you'd be screwed over."

"Why we?" Link asked.

"Because I need you." Dark responded. He paused for a moment and slapped his forehead. "Well not in that way, but you know…."

"Yes." Link rolled his eyes and leaned back against a boulder they had stopped nearby. "So where is it?"

"It's in Lake Hylia, trusted by a man named Demyx. You could say he would be considered a sage, after all the stone was given to him by the goddesses themselves." Dark shrugged. Link gawked slightly, it sounded like such an honor to have such a responsibility bestowed upon you by the Goddesses, no less…

Link paused for a moment. "That sounds too simple… what's the catch?" He asked in suspicion.

Dark hesitated for a moment, brushing some hair out of his crimson eyes before starting up again. "Well… We kinda have to get through the temple…."

"It's always a temple." Link slapped his forehead and sighed. "Alright, fine. I can deal with that…" He mumbled. Dark smiled slightly. "And I'll be there to help you every step of the way."
