Ok I'm sorry, I would've gotten this chapter out sooner, but the laptop I use was being used. Not too much to say about this chapter except I added a little bit of romance towards the end. Well I hope you review when you done and please enjoy.

Chapter 7

"What are we going to do Link?" Saria asked.

"Hm," Link said looking around him.

"Link?" Saria asked as he began to walk back into the city, now as dead as night.

They walked up some stairs, and Link seemed satisfied with something. He crouched and put him hands down low, as he did yesterday.

"Um what are doing?" Saria asked.

"I'm going to boost you up." Link replied.

"Oh," Saria said and put her booted foot in Link's hands, again on three, he lifted her up onto the roof of the building. Saria wondered how Link was going to get up on the roof, but again he surprised her. Link ran and placed his foot on the wall and it seemed as he jumped up from the wall.

"How did you do that?" Saria asked.

"Hehe, I'll teach you it sometime, but we have to go." Link said as he crouch ran along the roof towards the castle wall. Once here he pulled out a golden item from inside his tunic, he pointed it up at the guard's tower and pressed a button and a hook shot from the end, and latched onto the wooden guard's tower.

"Here," Link said as he handed her the thing. "Just hold on and don't scream, ok?"

"Wait what am I going to do?" She asked quickly.

"Just hold on, and don't scream," He said again, he then pressed a button again and this made Saria fly upwards. She couldn't scream if she wanted to, because it didn't take but a second to but up on the wall, landing on her butt.

"Quick, throw it down." Link said, and Saria obeyed, again he pointed and launched the thing and he came flying up too, but he managed to land on his feet, from years of practice Saria deduced. He quickly shot the thing into the tower, but instead of going up he again gave it to Saria.

"Oh no!" Saria said.

"Sorry, but you haven't any choice, unless you want to end up in jail." Link said calmly.

"Ok, what do I need to do?" Saria asked as she again held onto the thing.

"You are going to- Shit!" Link said as a couple guards came running after them. "Jump!" He yelled and pushed Saria off the wall, she screamed but she didn't fall as fast as she thought, her feet touched the ground and she was ok. But then a giant splash came from the water and before she could react Link came from the water, grabbed the thing and pressed a button and the head of the thing came back and he stored the instrument in his tunic. He then grabbed Saria's hand and began running, he looked at the horizon and the once pink shy was quickly disappearing.

"Shit!" He swore loudly, and drew his sword with his left hand and kept his right hand in Saria's, tight but gentle. Saria blushed when she saw this.

"Link, I don't think the guards are chasing us," True there were no guards in sight.

"It's not them I'm worried about," Link said.

They continued to run both panting heavily, when the sun was no longer in the sky Link swore again. In the distance Saria could see a set of land with a gate hanging over it. Right then a skeleton appeared before them, but Link killed it just as fast as it appeared. More were starting to pop up, and Link swung his sword, killing them as they appeared. They arrived at the gate, and Link let go of Saria's hand and fished out a key from within his tunic. He quickly unlocked the gate and once Saria was inside slammed it shut, locking it once again.

"Wont those things get us in here?" Saria asked when Link put his sword away.

"Nope, they hate animals." Link said and went up to the house and knocked. A girl with red hair answered.

"Link!" She said as she gave him a big hug, immediately regretting it because he was still wet. "What are you doing here?"

"Hey Malon, I was wondering if me and Saria could sleep in the barn, we tried to get here sooner but the gate closed a little early." Link said with a smile.

"Oh of course you can stay, did you guys eat yet?" Malon asked.

They were about to say they weren't hungry, but both their stomachs growled in unison. Malon just laughed.

"Come on in, we got plenty of leftovers." Malon said ushering them in before they could say anything. The first thing Saria noticed was that it smelled like heaven. There was a counter, with a stove built into it. The table was pretty big, Malon set a big pot of orange liquid on the table and gave them bowls and spoons and told them to dig in. it was some of the tastiest stuff Saria had eaten.

"So you're just like Link then?" Malon asked Saria.

"Hmm?" Saria asked through a mouth full of soup.

"Do you always eat like you've never been fed before?" Malon asked with a smile, because Saria was now drinking the soup straight from her bowl, Just Link was doing next to her. Saria blushed and set her bowl down, making Malon laugh even harder. She then got up and went up the stairs.

"She seems nice." Saria said to Link.

"Yeah she really is, she let me sleep in the barn whenever I didn't have a place to sleep while I was rescuing Hyrule. Even after I was sent back she stayed my friend and now she-" Link stopped and licked his thumb and cleaned a little bit of soup from Saria's chin. "Sorry," Link said when he realized what he did, and blushed. Thankfully Malon reappeared at that moment with a couple of pillows, and blankets.

"Here you guys go, I'm going to head up to bed, and you guys don't stay up too late," She said with a wink, making them both go scarlet. Malon just laughed. With the soup cleaned up, Link and Saria headed out side, it had cooled off a bit leaving a slight chill in air. They headed in the barn and up to the loft. Link laid out their stuff, while Saria looked up through the sky light at the stars, trapped in their beauty. Link joined beside her, and without warning hoisted Saria up through the skylight and out of the roof, he climbed on the roof after her.

"Wow," Saria said while looking up at the sky. She had never seen the stars as beautiful as she is now. Link lay down on his back, looking up at the stars. Saria lay down next to him, her head resting on his elbow.

"This is so beautiful." Saria said breaking the silence.

"Yup, I do this almost every time I come here." Link said.

"So, um not to be rude or anything, but is Malon like your, um, girlfriend?" Saria asked hesitantly.

"What? No she's just a friend." Link said with a little laugh, "Why?"

"Oh I was just wondering." Saria said, she felt relieved for some reason. She felt very tired, and without noticing her head began to rest on his shoulder, and sooner than later she let herself slip into a deep sleep that only hanging out with her best friend could bring.
