A/N: Yo. Sorry for the long wait. I would have had this up a couple weeks ago, but I had to move to a new house, so I was pretty busy. But! Chapter 8 is about half way done. Just need to type it up. So give me like two weeks and that will also be up. Though I can't guarantee anything. Can you believe the only form of internet connection is Dial-Up here? I hate dial-up. So much. I can't watch anything online. No joke. It takes around 1-2 hours to load one episode of an anime. And it doesn't even play. It just randomly stops after about a 45 seconds.. *facedesk* Stupid freaking… Anyways, here's the story.

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters (besides Koji and the other OC's) or the series of The Legend Of Zelda. It solely belongs to the creator, Shigeru Miyamoto, and Nintendo.

P.S: The title is a song done by Tatsuhisa Suzuki.

Stand By Me

Chapter 7: Yesterdays

I ease Link down on the curb and sit next to him. Neither of us has said a word since we left my house. And this time, it's an uncomfortable silence. How many more times will things like that happen? I don't want Link to feel unwelcome or threatened at my home. I don't want to see him as afraid as he was today. I wouldn't be surprised if he was also scared of me. Just then, even I was frightened by myself. Where the hell did all that anger come from? I've never actually wanted to kill someone. I don't think I've been as enraged as I was before.

I just want to know what Link is thinking right now. Is he terrified of me, or my mother? Is he doubting me now? I just want to get inside his mind. I want to know what he's thinking. I hate this silence, but I don't want to break it. It feels as if Link should be the first one to say something. Not me. I don't know why either. I guess I just don't want to say anything stupid or disturb his thoughts.

I let out a sigh. Sometimes I think I'm too considerate. I don't like being so nice. When I'm faced with Shou, and both our tempers flare, that's when I feel the most comfortable. It's like I was meant to feel anger and sadness. All of the bad emotions. Happiness and the like… just feels so wrong. I can't seem to figure out why. I love exchanging fists with people. I love fighting, though I've barely had any scuffles. I have a feeling that will change someday, though. A feeling that I will become a regular fighter, a delinquent.

I do want happiness, but it's just so weird to feel. I'd rather just feel anger and sadness, or just nothing at all.

"Dark," Link looks up at me, "That was cool."

Huh? What was?

"When you got angry. It scared- no, it shocked me at first, but then I thought it was amazing."

I scratch my head. See? I do my best when I'm angry. Though sometimes, if Link catches me, I feel ashamed. Like, again, with Shou. When he was badmouthing Link, I snapped, and I swore I heard Link tell me to stop, and I looked around him, I saw him in the window. I felt so ashamed. The look on his face… it was pure pity and disbelief. You couldn't imagine how he was looking at me. It's like he was… disappointed, disappointed in me. Just like everyone else is. It was the same expression everybody else gives me. I don't want to receive those looks from him. It…it hurts so much. I know how wimpy that sound, but it hurt so much. I want him to be okay with my actions. I want him to understand why I do the things I do.

"And Dark," Link tugs my attention back to him, "Thank you for protecting me." He tries to give me a kiss, but I hold my hand out.

"I don't know if you should thank me. I probably made it so my mother most likely has you targeted." Link gulps. "I'm just glad she doesn't know where you live. Yet. I wouldn't put it past her to follow me, or you, to your house." Link shivers, as I note this, creating a frown across my face. "She's one frightening woman."

Link shifts his feet. "She is terrifying."

I pause and look at him, "…I'm really sorry about that."

"It's not you who should be sorry. We could have avoided that situation if I had gone back home."

I turn to him, "You can't blame yourself for this. If it was anyone's fault, blame my mother or the Goddesses."

"I don't want to blame anyone!"

"You don't have to."

Link blinks and leans against me. "Why was your mom so angry at me?"

I think for a moment before answering, "Most likely no reason," I say slowly. "Or maybe she has a reason, and she has something against you."

"But I've never met her!"

"That's most likely true. There's always the off-chance that you had met her, but didn't remember."

"I think I would remember someone like her."

I smile wryly, "It's hard to forget a woman like her, huh?"

"Why are you asking me?"

"Not sure."

"But what do you think she would have against me, if I were to have done something?"

"I dunno, probably something stupid." I rub the bridge of my nose.

"Like what?"

"She probably thinks you ruined her life."

"How?"

"By being her child? Or you could have bumped into her, or made her late to something, like a date." I look at Link, who has a serious expression on his face. "That was supposed to be funny." I laugh.

He gives me a weird look, "You? Trying to be funny? This must be the apocalypse."

My mouth drops, "That wasn't cool! I make jokes all the time! Just… no one hears them because I keep them to myself."

"That was also a joke," He smiles up at me. I grunt in reply.

Something digs into my butt. What the heck is that? A twig? "Hold on a sec, Link." I push him off me, reaching for my back pocket. I obtain my wallet. "Oh! I forgot I had this." I open it and count the money. 90 dollars. I know what to do with this. "Link, would you like to go out for dinner tonight?"

"Eh? But it's only three!"

"That's why I said tonight."

"Oh."

"So? Would you like to go? I'm paying."

"Dark! You don't need to pay for me."

"Too bad. I'm going to."

"Don't!"

"Link. This is to apologize for my mother's ridiculous behavior. And because I want to take you out. For dinner. Not that I mean I'm going to knock you out."

Link raises an eyebrow and laughs, "Fine, sounds good. Where at?"

"Not sure yet. We still have to decide that."

"Chuck-E-Cheese?"

My eyes widen, "Oh Goddesses, no. Let's head into the shopping district of town and find a place."

"We could always look in a phonebook."

"We could. Or we could call Koji and ask. He seems to know everything." I shiver.

"I don't have his number."

"I do."

"Why?" Link asks me suspiciously.

"He somehow got my number and called me one day, so I saved his number."

"Oh." Link glares at the tree across the street from us.

"Should I give him a call?"

"Yeah. He should know at least one place that's good, right?"

"Most likely." I pull my phone from my pocket and dial his number.

"Hello?" A man picks up, with a husky voice. "Nn. Koji! Stop! This isn't the time."

I hold the phone away from my ear and give Link a disturbed look.

"Hello," The man asks again. "Can I help you?"

"Ah. Yes. Is Koji there?"

"Yeah. Just a minute," His voice rings with suspicion. "It's for you. Hurry up." He -presumably- says to Koji.

"Hello. Koji speaking." I hear Koji's voice.

"It's Dark."

"What? No, it's pretty bright today. Have you been outside?"

"Ha-ha. Very funny," I say dryly.

I can imagine Koji smirking. "So what's up?"

"Do you know any good places to catch dinner around here?"

"I do," He begins slowly, "Why do you want to know?"

"Why not?"

"You're taking Link out for dinner, aren't you?"

"How in the hell did you know?"

"I don't think you'd ask otherwise."

"Well, maybe I'm taking myself out to eat. Or Ganondorf."

Koji snorts, "You? Take Ganon out? Not likely."

"No kidding," I half-laugh. "So do you plan on telling me where to eat at, or do I have to come over and force it out of you?"

"Normally, I'd vote for the second one, but it's not a good time right now. Besides, you don't even know where I am."

"Your house."

"Mm..You could say that. I wouldn't call it my house, though I do pretty much live here."

I frown, "What do you mean?"

"It's complicated to explain. Let's just say I don't live with my parents, but I still lived with a beloved. You know him actually. He's one of the teach-"

"Oi!" I heard the man, who I'm tired of calling "the man" and will now be called "Yuu" until name mentioned, cut him off. "They don't need to know!"

"Anyways, what's your price range?" Koji asks me.

"Huh?"

"How much can you spend?"

"I have 90."

"Cents? Dollars? Dimes? Coupons?"

"Dollars."

"Alright. So then do you want to go to a restaurant or a fast-food place?"

"Restaurant."

"Classy, or average?"

I look to Link, "Fancy or average?"

"Fancy, I guess," He fidgets.

"You don't need to feel bad," I cup my hand under his chin, "I'm taking care of it, so don't worry."

"Dark…"

"Hey. Do that later. Which is it?" Koji demands.

I hear Yuu snicker.

"Classy."

"Then you have two choices."

"Why don't you just let them find one themselves?" Yuu says annoyingly.

"Because I owe them. Now be quiet." Koji says briefly and I hear a weird noise on the other end. Like kissing or something.

"Wha-" I stumble on my words a bit, "What are the two choices?"

"There's one on the same street as the park, right across from it actually, and there's one 10 minutes away by car. But I'm guessing neither of you can get there by car, so the first one is to the left of the park, coming from Dark's house."

"How'd you-?"

"I'm Koji, remember? I know practically everything. I'm psychic." I hear Yuu snort at that.

"Anyways, that's it. But heads up, you might want to dress nice. So pretty up, boys." Both Koji and Yuu laugh.

"Thanks."

"No problem. See you tomorrow."

"Yeah. Later." I shut my phone closed.

Link looks at me expectantly.

"It's near the park. But Koji said that we should dress nice. What do you think?"

"Well, I'd rather do what he says. I don't want to be underdressed."

"Alright. I agree. We'll both head to our homes and get ready. We'll meet at the fountain in the park at seven. Does that sound good?"

"Un!"

I haven't heard him say that for the longest time. I love that.

"Okay," I stand, pulling Link up. "See you soon." I look around, and seeing no one, I give Link an intended quick kiss, but he had turned it into a longer kiss. I pull back and chuckle at him, "Go get ready! I'll see you in a bit."

He whines at me, "Fine."

-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-

I adjust my tie in the mirror. I look myself over once more. Black slacks, crimson button up shirt, and a black tie. My black suit is hanging on the door knob, hair still splayed all over the place, like normal. Should I gel it back? I push my hair above my brow and forehead to test it. No. That looks kind of weird. I'll leave it as is, besides brushing it out a bit. I look at my face. Lips aren't chapped for once. Nose clean. My eyes still a brilliant crimson red, even more so than my shirt, not like they'll change color. Ears clean.

I turn around and put on my blazer. I've already attacked it with the lint roller. I used the entire thing, just to make sure I got it all. I'll have to pick up a new one soon. I think everything is set. I'd buy flowers, but I remember Link telling me he doesn't like flowers. I've even got a handkerchief in my chest pocket. Oh! I've got a good idea! I turn to my closet and dig through it. "Here it is!" I pull out my fedora and place said hat on top of my head. I check the mirror again. It blends well with everything. I shove my phone, wallet, iPod, and various other things into my pockets. Right. Now I've got everything. I head down the stairs and make my way towards the door.

"Hey," My mother calls from the living room. "Whenever you get the hell back, I'm going to talk to you."

I give a suspicious glare to my reflection in the entryway mirror. "Okay?" I walk out the door and down the street.

-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-

When I arrive at the park, I stand at the allotted meeting spot, the hiss of the water running behind me. I can feel the spray of the fountain, so I take a step forward. I check the time. Good. Still early by fifteen minutes. As I think that, the fountain lights turn on, giving an extravagant display. I turn around for the fortieth time that day, and face the fountain. I watch as the water droplets reflect the lights, creating a beautiful show of colors. Not that I'm interested…

I dip my hand in the water and swirl my it around in the fountain. I watch as the surface ripples. Something shinning catches my eye. A coin. Lots of coins, actually. They must all be tossed in for wishes. I was told that if you take a coin from a fountain, someone's wish won't come true, nor will your own. But it's not like I believe in that wishing stuff… Nope… But I'll toss a coin in there because… I want to help the funds for… whatever it's for. Yeah. That's it. And I'll make a wish just to experiment. I pull a coin from my pocket and toss it into the fountain, closing my eyes, and making my wish. I wish everything will be alright for once. I shove my hands into my pocket and sigh. As if.

I'm pummeled to the ground as Link hugs me, "Daaaaark!" He cries.

I grunt, "Hey, Link."

"What kind of greeting is that? Don't I look nice?"

"I-wha?" I look at him, half-expecting a dress. His tux hugs his body, but not too tight. Just enough to make me start drooling. "You- you look really good…" I respond, trying not to drool all over my own suit.

"Thanks," Link blushes as he looks me up and down, "And you look handsome." Now he's the one drooling.

What is this? The Drooling-Gay-Weirdoes Program?

"Thank you," I tilt my fedora at him, standing up. I offer my hand to him, who accepts it gladly, and I pull Link up.

"Are you ready?" he asks.

"Just a moment," I lean in and move my lips against his. He again, accepts gladly. I slip my tongue between his lips and into his mouth, beginning a new exploration. He lets out a moan, muffled between our mouths, and knots his hand in my hair, the other gripping my arm. I smirk at his expression. I lick his bottom lip, place my arm around his waist, and grip his shirt with my right hand.

"D-Dark," He whimpers when I bite his lip.

"Had enough?" I let my breath slide over his ear.

He shivers and shakes his head, "Never."

I chuckle darkly and kiss him once again. "Let's get going." I remove my arm from his waist and he nods, linking his arm with mine.

-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-

"Ihnen sagte?"* I ask incredulously. "Is that really the name?"

Beside me, Link laughs. We both know a bit of German and know what the name means.

I look at the huge Victorian-style restaurant. The place was obviously booming. I mean booming with rich people. Can I really afford this? There are even people arriving with chauffeurs! I lean against one of the enormous white pillars. Luckily, I don't see much of a line. Link lets go of my arm. "Dark, are you okay?"

I turn to him and place my hand on my waist, "Yeah. Just surprised." I hesitate, "Link, if I don't have enough, we'll have to dine and dash. Okay? I'll make sure to give you a signal. I'll… I'll pull on my ear lo-"

Link pecks my cheek, because he's a bird, "Dark, if you don't have enough, we can go somewhere else. I don't mind."

I give him a shocked look and place a hand on my cheek. "We're not going anywhere else." I want the best for you, is what I wanted to add, but that would sound too sappy, and a gentleman was passing by us. I give him a hard look, "I already told you, I'm doing this because I want to make you happy."

Link fidgets, "But I'm already happy. Just being with you makes me happy. I wouldn't mind a classy dinner, but if you can't afford it, then that's fine."

"No. We're dining here." I pull him towards the entrance and take my hat off as we enter the massive building.

"May I take your coats, young sirs?" An attendant asks us. He was good looking. His vest was hugging his frame. His brown hair was spiked loosely, he had green eyes that showed he was bored as hell. Until he eyed Link. I ground my teeth and let out a growl, trying to hide Link from him. That cheater! He's blushing!

"Take my hat, please." I say rather rudely.

"Yes, sir." He takes my fedora from outstretched hand into his gloved hands. I make a point of glaring at him as we pass.

We wait behind a giggling couple as they give off their names to the host. I look at Link and roll my eyes. The host scribbles in the guestbook and calls a waitress over to take them away from us- I mean, to their seats. He looks at us, and I take a step forward. "Good evening, gentleman," He greets us. "I assume you've made a reservation?" He clears his throat and taps the sign on the podium, "Reservations Only," it read. Oh great. Koji never told me this. "Name please?" He twirls his mustache.

Maybe, by chance, my last name is in the register? "Kondo," I give him.

"There is no such name."

"Okay, Hylian?"

"The same result. Sirs, are you sure you made a reservation?"

I shuffle my feet. What was Koji's last name? What was it? Was it… Baka? I laugh at that. I think it was… "Ishida." I give him a third name. That's right. That was his last name. I remember seeing it on his papers before.

"Ah! The Ishida Koji gentleman?"

My eyes grow wide. It worked? Wow. We're lucky! Wait, Koji? Did he make a reservation for us?

"Forgive my rudeness, sirs. Please do not tell young master Ishida of it."

Woah. What just is Koji? Some kind of royalty?

"Uh, don't worry?"

"Thank you, sirs. Right this way. Just follow the waitress." He motions to the waitress standing by, who smiles at us and greets us with, "Good evening. I'll take you to your private booth."

Woah, again. Private? I give Link an incredulous look, and he returns it. What the hell is going on?

The waitress leads us to the back of the far east wing. I look around at all the empty tables and booths. This really is private. My mouth feels like it's going to drop off, because it's hanging so low, but I clamp it shut. We pass a huge tapestry illustrating a beautiful castle with, my guess is, a king and a prince standing in front of it. We also pass by many other paintings and tapestry, including a few structures. This…This is one HUGE restaurant. How come I've never heard of this place? It doesn't seem like it was built, and it doesn't seem like it could be easily overlooked. It must have cost a fortune to build. I bet the people who work here are paid very well.

"Here we are, sirs." I nod my thanks to her and sit across from Link. "A waiter will be with you in a few minutes," She announces, and gracefully leaves.

I look to Link, "So we get a private booth," I state. "Very private."

Link nods, "This place is enormous."

"No kidding."

So, I begin to myself, we're in a very fancy place, in a very private area. Opportunities are at hand. I smile crookedly, lifting my foot up, under the table, and rub my shoe between Link's legs. He, in turn, jumps and groans. I rest my head on my hand and turn my crooked smile into a smirk.

"Dark!" He hisses. "Not here! We can do it later!"

I smirk even wider, "This is an improvement. Later, you say?" I apply more pressure to my foot, making him squirm. "Normally, you'd be against it"

"Un~ Dark… Later… Not now." He forces out.

I sigh and rake my foot away. "Spoil sport." I pick up his hand and kiss the back of it. He blushes and looks down.

"O-oi! Dark! Look!" He point to the table.

I follow the direction of his finger and spot a piece of paper neatly folded, with my name eloquently written on the side facing up. I give it a suspicious look, "Think it's a bomb?" I ask Link.

He looks at me unbelievably, "I-I don't think so."

I grunt and pick up the paper, unfolding it. Of course, there was the same writing inside, so I read it out loud.

"Dearest Dark and Link,

Do you like the restaurant so far? I especially picked out the booth for you and made sure it was private.
I didn't think you guys would know you needed a reservation, since I forget to mention that. I decided to make it
for you. Knowing my… connections.
There are many things I want to tell you, but I can't. You see, I'm really from
I hope you guys enjoy the stay here, and don't mind the host at the front. He's suspicious of everyone.
And Dark, be careful of what you do to poor Link. The waiters tend to pop up at the worst times.

With love, Koji.

P.S: Just in case you didn't have enough, there's some money taped under your seat. Even if you don't need it, keep it. Oh, and Shuusuke says hello."

Link and I both look at each other, and our eyes almost pop out. "What is with that guy?" I almost shout.

Link puts a finger to his lips. "Hush! I don't know either!"

"He left me money?" I ask.

Link shrugs, "Check."

And I do. I pat my hand around until I find a smooth, yet-not, item, and slowly pull it off and out from underneath my seat. "How'd he know I would sit here?" I question, staring at Link, who's jaw is –quite literally- on the table, looking at the retrieved money in my hands. I look down and count out the bills. "Holy…crap." I squeak out. "200 dollars?"

Link's turn to get loud. "What is he made of? How can someone give out 200 dollars like it was nothing?"

That reminds me of the words he crossed out. He wanted to tell us something, but he couldn't. "He's really what?" Okay, before I start hyperventilating, I need to calm down. "Link, let's forget about it for now. We're here to enjoy dinner. We can ask Koji what the fuck is going on at school tomorrow." Link nods and picks up the menu. He's so easy to convince. I pick up the menu then set it back down. 15 dollars for tap water? Ridiculous. I sigh and pick the menu back up. A few minutes later, we both set our menus down.

"Have you decided?" A waiter appears, scaring the crap out of Link. I nod and Link does the same. I give him our orders and he takes his leave.

"Thanks for ordering for me. But how did you know what I wanted?"

"You said it out loud just before setting the menu down." I watch Link's eyes as they shift around and then rest on my own. He grins and leans across the table to give me a kiss. Aha! I got him this time. I return the kiss eagerly, pulling him almost on top of the table.

I lick his bottom lip, asking, and hoping to the goddesses, for permission to enter. He grants, parting his lips with mine, and I thrust my tongue into his mouth. I lick the inside of his top lip, winning a moan from him. I smirk against his mouth and move along to his own tongue, massaging it. He lets out another moan, and this time I can feel my lower region twitching. I pull Link across the table so that he was practically under me. He looks up at me and wraps his arms behind my neck.

He pulls me back into the kiss, this time, him asking to enter my mouth. I oblige. Let's see what he's- oh goddesses! I moan out as he rubs the back of my gums with his tongue again. I feel him smile as he pulls his tongue back into his own mouth and kisses me. I bite his lip and deepen the kiss, taking back the dominance that is rightfully mine. I remove my mouth from his, and Link lets out a whimper. I do my best to ignore the throbbing in my groin, and kiss Link's neck. I pull his shirt down from his shoulder and kiss where his neck and shoulder connect.

"Sirs, your food." The waiter says, not the slightest bit of awkwardness riding in his voice –I know what I want to ride…– as if seeing two males making out on top of a table was the most natural thing in the world. Link scrambles off the table and back to his seat, blushing madly. The waiter serves our food and leaves.

Link glares at me, "Dark! How could you do that!"

I looked at him funny, "It wasn't just me, you wanted it too." I pause and smirk, remembering. "You even have an erection."

Link splutters and blushes, "So do you!"

I laugh at him, "Just eat your food, Link. We can continue later, if you wish."

He throws a piece of his food at me.

-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-

We finished eating, of course with me trying to get Link flustered a "few" times. The waiter appeared as soon as we finished and placed the bill on the table. I picked up the bill, and upon looking at it, I sighed a sigh of relief. I placed the correct amount on top of the bill and watched the waiter take it away.

I stood up and turned to Link, "Ready?"

He looked at me blankly, "Sure," and he also stood up.

Now where the hell was the exit? It took us 10 minutes to get out. Can you believe that? Once we got outside, we walked slowly back to the park. Neither of us wanted to leave. When we were out of sight from the restaurant, I held Link's hand in mine and laced my fingers through his. We continued walking in our comfortable silence. We didn't need to exchange words or actions to feel the affection between us at the moment. At that time, I had no idea that this would have been one of the last times to spend with Link for a very long time. If I had known this, I may have taken him right there.

A dreading feeling came over me, so I pulled Link into a tight embrace.

"Dark? What's wrong?" His voice began forming concern as he asked this.

"I don't know…" I whispered. "It feels like… something bad is going to happen, but I don't know what. It feels like I'm going to be ripped away from you." I lay my face on his shoulder.

Link wraps his arms around me tightly and nuzzles into my neck, "Dark. That's not going to happen." He pauses, "And if it does, I'll always be with you. I will love you for the rest of both our lives."

This struck a chord in my heart and it feels like I'm going to cry. No, I have to keep it together. Everything will be fine. Nothing will happen. I have to be strong. I can't cry in front of him. "Link, I love you with all my being. I will always stand by you." I kiss his neck lovingly, "Always." I feel him smile and hear him sniff. I place my hand on his chin and pull up his face towards mine and take him into a deep kiss. I remove my lips from his and rest my forehead on his.

He looks straight into my eyes, "I don't want to go home," He puts a miserable expression on his face. "But I promised I would be home by 10."

I smiled – yes, smiled – at him, "I understand." I gave him a hug and another kiss, then let him go.

"Goodnight, Dark."

"Goodnight." I watched him leave, and when I couldn't see him anymore, I turned around and walked to my own house.

-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-

**I shrugged my jacket off when I got inside and walked the stairs up to my room. I hung it up in my closet just as my mother called me. "Hey! Murderer!" She began. "Get down here!"

I entered my house and found my dad waiting for me. "Link," He began. "Come with me. To the living room."

I walked down the stairs to where she was calling me from. I stood a good distance from her, but faced her.

"We need to talk. Well, Ineed to talk. You just shut up and listen."

I took a seat, expecting a lecture.

"We have to talk, so-" He paused, then said, "Link."

We both sat down. Him in his chair, and I across from him on the couch.

"I don't want to ever see that person again. The one that was here earlier today."

I give her a glare, "I don't see why I can't."

"There is something I wanted to tell you, but it was never the best time. In fact, I don't even want to tell you, but I know I have to. I love you so much. I don't want to hurt you, but this is something you might hate me for if I don't tell you."

"Shut up! Just listen!" She fumes. "You may even be happy about this, because, hell, I am. You're going to England for the next two years. By yourself. I'll make sure Ganon sends money."

My eyes go wide. Is this what I was dreading?

"Link, you know how I'm so young, yet I still have you?"

"And there's one more thing. It's about that boy who came over earlier."

"Link?" I squeak out.

"Right. Well,"

"I-I adopted you."

"He's your twin brother." She looks at me calmly.

My eyes go wide in shock. My entire body stiffens. I raise my head and look him in the eyes. "You- you adopted me…?" I say, confused.

My mind is in a whirlwind, and I grip the arm of the chair, as if I was being tortured. "What did you just say?"

"He is your brother." She repeats.

My mind won't accept this. It isn't true, right? This is all just some sick joke. I look at her and laugh, "You're kidding," I say, almost pleading with her.

She shakes her head. "No. I'm serious."

"That's right. I adopted you." He looks away and gives a small smile.

"I-I see…" I say slowly. Not really seeing it at all. I don't really have much of a choice but to accept it. He wouldn't lie about something like this. "Do-Do I have any biological family alive?"

He gives me a pained look, "You do."

"Parents? Siblings?"

"A parent and a sibling."

"Who?" I ask, feeling like I shouldn't know.

"We've both met him, your brother."

I think back to who I've taken home and who's met my dad. Only two people. Mido and Dark. It wouldn't be Mido, not the way dad hates him. On the other hand, he loves Dark… The sudden realization hits me hard. My body begins to quiver and I have to close my eyes. Oh, goddesses no…

I look to my- no, I look to Rodney and give him a look that asks him to deny it. "You-You don't mean Dark is my brother?" He nods sadly. I don't believe it…

"So…" I begin slowly. "Link… is my brother. And after learning this, your sending me to another fucking country?" I ask, unbelieving.

She nods, "Right. I'm glad you understand."

"I don't understand! Why are you sending me away?" I roar at her.

She sits there and lets out a laugh, directed at me. "Just because."

I stand up, knocking my chair over, "Just because?" I hiss.

"Pretty much." She picks at her nails, "Ganon and I want some time alone. Away from you. I thought it would be interesting to tell you about," she pauses, trying to remember his name, "Link being your brother."

I narrow my eyes at her. "You thought it would be interesting?" I yell, "What the fuck is wrong with you?"

"I could ask the same thing about you," She stands up. "Pack your things. Your leaving Tuesday. Oh, and you won't have time for school tomorrow, so don't bother with it." She walks away with a god damned smile on her face.

"You fucking bitch!" I yell at her. She ignores me and closes her bedroom door. I drop to the floor on my hands and knees. Two years? I'll be in England for two years?

Fuck my life.


A/N: Not much to say here. Check my profile for updates. If I know when I'll have them up, I'll post it. I have this growing feeling you're going to start hating me in the next few chapters, if you don't already…

Revolution, out.

Ja.
