Enjoy!

Chapter 9: The Search for the Forest Sage Inuyasha!!

"Well, we have the Light Sage Melody, and that means we have 6 more sages to find," Kora said.

"Wait... wasn't the Light Sage Rauru?" Navi asked, suspicious of the new change.

"Well, that must mean ALL of the sages are sages from either different places or different universes," Zelda advised coolly, shielding her eyes from the sun.

"If that's the case, we better find 'em all," Navi finished with a smile.

"Hey, I hate to kill the conversation, but I still haven't eaten anything yet. Can we stop and eat something really quick, please?" Link whined pitifully. His stomach growled interminably, reminding everyone that it was still empty. The embarrassed prince blushed and hid himself behind Zelda.

She smiled, and suddenly screamed, "YAY!! PIT STOP!!!" She accidentally smacked Kora with her fist, whacking the air out of him. She also knocked poor Link backwards with her sudden outburst.

--

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T HEAL HIM!?" Shadow Zelda shouted lividly.

Phantom Ganon, who was now Ganondorf, shook his head in disgust. "Even my efforts against Melody's light is too powerful for me. There's no way I can replace his empty needs. You must find another way."

Shadow Zelda hissed angrily, until her husband silenced her grimace with a weak response.

"Don't...worry... I have an idea... But it requires the Prince of Hyrule..." he stated weakly, sacrificing all of the energy he can muster just to speak.

"What is it?" Shadow Zelda asked patiently, forgetting her anger at the young yet dangerous light sage.

"We can use the darkness I had etched into him with the Black Blade... but we must plan to capture him and trap him so he cannot escape... That will be challenging... Are you up for it?"

Shadow Zelda smiled affectionately. "Of course, darling... of course..." She turned around to see two other shadows enter the room. The two shadows happened to be Young Shadow Link and Young Shadow Zelda, their children. Both youngsters had worried looks on their faces, afraid the death of their father might arrive anytime soon. Shadow Zelda hugged both of her kids, already understanding why they had entered the room - to see their father one last time before he departed, if he was to die.

"You're not gonna die, are you, Daddy?" Young Shadow Zelda asked, hugging her little toy doll tight with fear. "I don't want you to go!"

Tears streamed down her mother's face. She looked determined to find the young prince at any cost. She would not let her husband die in her arms!

"It's the best we can do for now. Shadow Zelda, are you up for it?" Ganondorf asked, eyeing the dark female figure.

--

"Sorry we had to take a 'pit stop,' Zelda. I hope it wasn't too much trouble," Link asked the heroine, who was grinning from ear to ear.

"Are you kidding!? That was fuuuuun!!!" she squealed, hugging herself.

"Are you alright though? You were lost in thought earlier," Kora advised, flying above her.

"Zelda then grew troubled. "Yeah, I'm fine," she said slowly. Once again, she was lost in her thoughts. How could I be fine? she thought. You were swallowed into darkness... If it wasn't for Melody, you would have gone off with my head... You forgot about me... You didn't remember me for a while, which was deadly... Did you forget how I feel for you...? Do you still...care for me?

"Look what you did, Kora!" Navi shouted as she slapped him. "You made her mute, dammit!!"

"Ow! Hey! I'm just concerned!" Kora yelled, frantic for an answer.

"WAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Zelda cried, pretending to be fine. She successfully pulled their legs.

Link spun around. "She's fine..." he sighed.

Zelda stopped as immediate as she started. "Sorry! I was just thinking about stuff that concerns some hope. I'm fine," she finished.

Walking in a slovenly manner, Zelda knew nothing about the bomb that was set under her foot, ready to explode. Shadow Zelda stared from her hiding place, waiting for the right time to activate the explosive. She waited patiently, thinking about her love. She wanted to keep him alive, even if it sacrificed her own life.
As soon as she saw Zelda step on the right spot, she activated the weapon beneath her.

"AAAAHHHH!!! Zelda screamed as a cloud of smoke spread all around her. Link, Kora, and Navi were separated from the heroine as she tried to see through the smoke.

"Zelda!!" Link cried through a long fit of coughs, trying to get air. He was suffocating by the smoke of the strange explosive that had hid Zelda from his eyes.

"Li...nk... Link...!" a weak female voice called to him. Zelda! he thought, panicking.

"Zelda!!" Link screamed as he spotted a wounded girl, bleeding horribly on the floor. "Zelda! Are you alright?!"

"Link...I...need for you to do me a favor...before I leave...please..." she whispered, life slowly leaving her body.

"Please don't go! What do you want me to do? Please tell me now!" the prince pleaded as he fought back tears, fearing of her death. He grabbed her hand, vowing silently to himself that he'd never let go.

Zelda's grip hardened as she began to laugh. Link looked up to see that it wasn't Zelda. In fact, it was the complete opposite of his dear friend. Shadow Zelda had him gripped from head to toe in a dark trap. His breaths began to become very fitful, due to the lack of oxygen in his trap. His heart raced with fear and fury. How could he fall for this trap?! He continued to gasp for air as the evil clouds suffocated him.

"Come with me to heal my husband," Shadow Zelda whispered coldly. She focus all of her energy to transport herself and the captive prince to the Shadow Lair.

"Kora...Zelda..." Navi landed on the floor, wasting all of her strength to look for her friends. She fell in exhaustion, waiting for a voice.

"Navi? Is that you, sweetie?" Kora called to the fallen fairy.

"Kora!! It's you!!" Navi cried with new energy as she flew into her lover's arms. Next to her, Zelda chuckled, smiling for them both. she the asked Navi, "Where's Link?"

Navi's smile faded into a face of alarm. "He's been kidnapped by Shadow Zelda!! We need to find him now!!"

"Let's go!" Zelda shouted, readying her bow.

Before they left, Kora spotted a glowing green medallion under a bush. He picked it up, wondering what it was. Suddenly a spirit of a strong inhuman man appeared.
Kora screamed with fear and hid behind Navi and Zelda.

"Shh! Don't scream!" he yelled, staring at all three of them.

"Who...are you?" Navi asked politely.

"I am Inuyasha, the Sage of the Forest. "

"What happened? How were you the Forest Sage?" Zelda queried Inuyasha.

"I am supposed to live in the Feudal Era on the planet Earth, but I got separated from my friends and was transported here. Then I was told that I was the sage of the Forest here in Hyrule. They also said I need to assist the Heroine of Time and the Prince of Hyrule, but he was kidnapped. I was suppossed to be unlocked in the Forest Temple, but Phantom Ganon threw the medallion out here instead." Inuyasha said, looking at Zelda. "We need to find the Fire sage if we want to rescue Link. We need to find Asuki now!!"

"Asuki?" Zelda repeated. Wasn't the Forest Sage Saria instead of Inuyasha? she thought. And Darunia instead of Asuki? What about me? I'm not the Sage of Time anymore? Then, who is it?
