AN: Revel in my complete fic~ And the crappiness of it all~ And... I fail at cliffhangers (I'm sorry.) And, I hope I kept everything correct via my own memory and wikipedia... *sighs* Ah, for SuperSmashGirlBB's bittersweet contest. I forgot to mention that... the quote is the inspiration, and this is not a song fic.

Yes, last chapter that... is the shortest. Well, I finished it~ *is proud of herself*

Pairing: Dark Link/Link


Closing his eyes, he managed to force out, "Why are you here?" Ignoring the glares the underlings gave, he focused on the leader (the… he couldn't quite remember the titles, but he was certain the word "Koopa" was in there.)

"Why~? Well, you see, you didn't give an answer to Peach, so we were hired to kill you," the leader replied, amused by this whole conversation. "Of course, you could always join us—we have a place just for you."

Dark started to move to the side, trying to direct the attention away from the room that held Link. "I cannot join your group, and you know how I feel about joining the army. Fuck if I'm joining any side at all."

"Really? Well, it's time to die, no?" A feral grin appeared on the Koopa's face, and Dark soon noticed the gun was leveled with his head. Just as the trigger was about to be pulled—even if he were to lift his gun, he knew it was too late—a shot rang out, directing everyone's attention to Link, who had shot one of those lackeys.

Link could only stare at them, keeping what Dark assumed was supposed to be a poker face—it was almost perfect, but that might've been because he knew Link well (and therefore could see the faint hint of fear in his eyes.)

The pregnant silence lasted for a moment, in which the other five or six underlings created a semi-circle, entrapping their boss, Dark and Link between them and the building. Then, Dark charged, attempting to grab at the gun the Koopa held. Link quickly joined, only to be warned via shot.

Had it not been for the fact that he had to save his bullets for the other assassins, Link would've shot their leader in the head (or, he would've attempted to.) Instead, he was forced to watch Dark and the other fight—deciding to pass some time, he started to shoot down each one in their way.

One by one, each person creating the arc of the semi-circle fell, a bullet hole on their body somewhere. It was then that Dark realized what was going on, and he looked up to see one aiming at Link. Quickly, he shot the last person in the head, only to feel a gun's barrel pressed against his head.

"Really Dark? This was the best you could do? Maybe, I should thank the other for making you so vulnerable."

Cursing himself, Dark knew that the Koopa was right—he would've won had he not been distracted by that person aiming at Link. However, he couldn't bring himself to regret anything to do with Link, and he prayed that Link survived this encounter (even if it seemed hopeless.)

"Goodbye, my dear friend." It was muffled, the shot, as the other had used some type of silencer.

Link could only watch in horror as Dark was shot—he didn't have any time to get to the other side and even if he did, he couldn't shoot in fear of the bullet going right through and hitting Dark too. It would've been stupid to attempt to hit the other while standing where he was—Dark was practically shielding the other from all types of weapons.

However, there was nothing between Link and that… bastard once Dark had died. In a way, it felt nice placing a bullet in his head, but it didn't help with the oncoming depression. Dropping his gun as soon as he was certain that bastard was dead, he ran towards the other, hoping to at least see him before he…

A voice interrupted him, a strangely familiar voice. At first, he thought it was Zelda, who he only had the honor of meeting because he walked in on her and Ike's baking time but turning around, he realized that he had run into her alter-ego, Sheik.

He could vaguely hear the other say something about not being able to commit suicide, but he ignored it. Searching for his lover's gun, he found that it couldn't be located, and that he couldn't find any weapon, anything to help him commit suicide.

He turned to demand an answer from Sheik (or Zelda), but he found that the other had long since disappeared. Link was left to survive on his own, with his best friend, his brother, his… lover.

It just hurt so much to be abandoned so suddenly and abruptly. His last wish was to see Dark again one day, somehow, some way.
