Ch.10-A new roommate
Phew, I got so many reviews the last chapter. XD Well, 8, but just that makes me happy. :) I'm easily amused if you couldn't tell.
And look at that, 70 reviews~! Whoo, for only 9 chapters too. XD I wonder how many I'll have once this is finished. :/
Anyway, I am not going to put this up on hiatus, but the constant updating will be slowed down. And I might make this only about 10 chapters more. I'm still thinking about it.
But that doesn't mean I won't update. It's just that now I'm just typing up the chapters instead of writing them up and then typing. ^_^'
So, don't panic if I don't update for a day or two, okay? Doesn't mean I've stopped, just means that I have forgotten for a short time and will get up the next chapter at the next available time I have. Though I don't have any classes Tuesday through Thursday...
Anyway...I think that's all I wanted to explain to you guys. :)
I don't own LoZ.
Please read and review. :3
Zelda began to explain, starting during the final battle between Link and Demise.
"When Hylia and I were inside Demise, we got in touch with Ghirahim's spirit," Zelda said, looking at the demon lord, "it was so quick and fleeting, you wouldn't have sensed anything, Ghirahim. But we both could tell, that deep down, you were still nice. Demise's hatred and malice was what corrupted your thoughts."
"I would know if my thoughts were corrupted, goddess," Ghirahim growled, crossing his arms as he sat on the table between Zelda and Link; Impa still sat on Zelda's shoulder, obviously not trusting herself with being near the demon.
"You have been with Demise for as long as you could remember, right?" Zelda asked softly, obviously trying to not offend Ghirahim by reminding him of his past.
Ghirahim glanced to the side, refusing to answer.
"A few months after the battle, probably just a day or two before you discovered Ghirahim, Hylia decided that we had been wrong about him. Whatever power she had regained after the fight, she used to bring both Ghirahim and Impa back because she knew how I had grown attached to her over the course of time we spent together," Zelda looked down at Impa as she rubbed her finger against the small Sheikah's head, which Impa didn't seem to mind, "but somehow along the way, Ghirahim got separated. I was hoping the two would stay together during the trip so that I could eventually break the news to you of what Hylia had done, but they didn't and you found him before I did."
"And just in time," Link smiled a little as he nodded, "he was going to get eaten by a Deku."
Ghirahim remained quiet, still a little touchy on the Deku Baba subject, before a thought came into his mind and he brightened up a bit.
"If that goddess is the one who brought me back…." he said slowly as he stood up. "Then she can also turn me back to normal, right?"
Zelda could hear how eager the demon was and she didn't want to disappoint him, but she shook her head.
"She used all her power just to bring you and Impa back. Right now she's resting inside me to regain her strength."
"Tch…" Ghirahim crossed his arms over his chest once more and he glanced away. "Typical. She may be a goddess, but she's as powerless as a human…."
Before Zelda could say anything, Impa hissed, "Don't say anything ill about Her Grace, you lowly demon."
Ghirahim growled at the Sheikah, baring his teeth as he bristled.
When Impa looked as if she were about to jump down and attack Ghirahim, Zelda whispered something to the Sheikah and patted her head.
"Look at that," Ghirahim sneered, giving a cocky smirk, "the dog obeys everything her master says."
"You should talk, sword," Impa growled, giving a sharp look at the demon to warn him to watch what he said, "but since Her Grace does not want me to waste my time squabbling with you, this conversation has ended."
"Do everything your master says?"
Impa scowled, but said nothing as she set her jaw, refusing to give Ghirahim the joy of a response.
"Ahh, so you're master's little girl," Ghirahim chuckled before he looked surprised as a cut appeared on his cheek.
He glanced down to see a small knife near his foot.
"The next one will not miss," Impa growled, holding up another knife to prove her point.
Ghirahim scowled before he went over to Link, hopping from the table to his leg, and climbing into his adventure pouch, pulling the latch over his head.
"Let's go, Link."
Link sighed, shaking his head, but stood up and gave a small smile at his friend.
"Sorry, Zelda, but I guess I should go."
"Ah, wait, Link," Zelda said as she stood up and went over to the blonde, "will you take Impa with you?"
"What?" both Impa and Ghirahim asked, the demon poking his head up from the adventure pouch.
"It's much safer up in Skyloft than it is down here," Zelda continued, letting a reluctant Sheikah climb into her palm, "please? I don't want Impa to get hurt."
"Say no, Link," Ghirahim whispered, lowering himself until his eyes only peeked above the pouch's edge, "Say no…."
Link gave a sigh as he held out his hand.
"All right," he said, taking Impa from Zelda, "I'll take care of her."
"Thank you, Link," Zelda smiled softly, watching as Link carefully put Impa in the pouch across from Ghirahim.
"This is such a bad idea…." Ghirahim muttered as Link gave Zelda a hug before leaving to head back to Skyloft.
Haha, Ghirahim doesn't want another person with him. XD Especially Impa. :D
Ahh...I have nothing to say at the end of this chapter...so, just enjoy. :D
Please read and review. :)
