Okay... going back to Gufuu in the story. I feel that I've been way too cruel to all of them. But... never mind. This chapter will sort of be a filler. I want all of them to get a few moments of peace. Right Whisp?

Whisp: Yes indeed...

Wind-Mage-Vaati12: ON WITH THE CHAPTER!

Whisp: Woot!


Chapter 10- The Not So Fun Vacation

It's been a week since the "incident" with Demise. Akuryō and Vaati were both healed and in top physical form. They all agreed to go to the summer house of the demon royal family.

"So." started Vaati. "Remind me again why Demise has a summer home."

Akuryō sighed in annoyance. She shook her head and handed the Wind Mage a bag to carry. They walked together to the giant mansion at the shore of Lake Hylia.

"I've told you a million times!" she said. "Demise never came here! It's my mom's! She and I used to come here."

"Oh right. Thanks." said Vaati.

"Hey! Slow pokes!" a voice was heard up ahead. "Hurry it up! I want to go swimming today please!

Vaati looked ahead and saw that it was Gufuu who yelled. Today she was wearing a purple t-shirt, a red miniskirt, and red sneakers. Her hair was in a pony tail. Ghirahim came into view behind her. He was wearing a white sleeveless top, white pants, a gold belt, and white sneakers. Akuryō and Vaati ran to the two servants. They all walked into the house together. Vaati, Ghirahim, and Gufuu stared in shock at how pretty it was in there. Akuryō just walked in and put the bag she was carrying on a table.

"This place has two floors." explained Akuryō. "On the first floor there is a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. On the second floor there is a bathroom, and two bedrooms."

The other three came to their senses and also put their stuff on the table. Gufuu fished through her bag and got out a small bag.

"Well I'm going to change into my bathing suit." Gufuu said. "Don't bother me."

Gufuu left the room and started up the stairs to the next floor while the others started rummaging through their own bags to find their swimming suits. Vaati pulled out his and decided that he would go change up stairs.

"I'll be right back." He muttered as he started to leave. "Where's the washroom?"

The Akuyrō barely glanced at him as she muttered something about it being on the first to your left. He nodded and walked up the stairs to the next floor, the wooden steps creaking beneath his feet as he continued up until he reached the second floor. All the doors were closed down the hall. 'Gufuu must have gone to use one of the bedrooms...' Vaati thought, and decided that he would just use the bathroom to change, he didn't exactly want to take a guess in which room Gufuu was in or wasn't in. Vaati walked over to the first door on the left and opened the door, barely paying attention until he heard a scream. His eyes flew in front of him to see Gufuu, covering herself with only her purple shirt, her face covered in horror and embarrassment.

"GET OUT!" She shrieked at him, clutching at the small shirt to cover herself from him.

Vaati felt his blood race to his cheeks and he quickly slammed the door shut, closing his eyes tightly.

"I- I'm sorry!" He called through the wooden door.

The door flew open suddenly after a minute and he nearly fell back.

Gufuu glared at him, and he couldn't help his eyes from trailing her up and down. The heat in his cheeks only grew as he saw the bikini she was in.

"What the hell were you doing!?" She yelled at him, making his eyes snap back to her furious ones.

"I- it's was an accident! I thought-" He started.

She cut him off. "You could have knocked! Instead of acting like a pervert! How dare you spy on me like that!" She snapped. "Did you see anything?" She asked suddenly. Vaati opened his mouth to speak, blush growing down to his neck, to explain that he did not, but she cut him off again. "You know what? I don't even want to know!" She snapped and stormed past him.

"Gufuu!" Vaati started again and reached for her arm. "That's not what happened!"

"Oh really?" She asked with sarcasm. "Just leave me alone!" She snapped and stomped down the stairs.

There was a loud slam of the door as Gufuu rushed outside, ignoring the shocked expressions of Ghirahim and Akuyrō.

Vaati race down the stairs and stared after her as she stomped away outside.

"Vaati? What did you do?" Akuyrō asked, though she did have a slight idea of what may have happened.

He was just about to go after when Ghirahim spoke up.

"Just let her go," He started. "She'll come back eventually."

Vaati sighed and bowed his head, if only she had let him explain... 'Ugh!' He thought in annoyance. He wanted to go after her and explain that it was just an accident and that he saw nothing, but Ghirahim was probably right. She'd probably just needed some time alone.


Gufuu sat on the edge of the lake. She closed her eyes and a violet t-shirt, and a dark purple skirt appeared on her exposed body. A dark chuckle reverberated through the air. The shadow mage looked around in a panic.

"Who's there?" she asked in alarm.

"... Hello little shadow..." The deep voice echoed around her.

"Where are you?" She asked, panic filling her voice as she searched frantically around for the voice.

"Hm, you must be that failed experiment..." The voice mused to himself.

"Who are you? Show yourself-!" She stopped short when she saw him and gasped in horror.

"Hm... You are not a perfect slave... But I think I can fix that..." Demise smiled darkly at her and took a step towards her.

Gufuu backed away as cold fear flooded through her veins. She opened her mouth to scream, but a cold hand covered her mouth, and another hand held her wrists behind her back. Gufuu struggled against the unknown person holding her, but they had an iron grip on her. Her body fell limp as she helplessly watched Demise come closer and closer until he was looming over her.

"Good work Shinimi." he said.

"My pleasure master." said the demon holding Gufuu in place.

Gufuu's eyes widened in fear as Demise brought out a black crystal, and put it to her forehead. The dark crystal melted into her forehead, (like in twilight princess). Gufuu's eyes turned completely black and she fell limp. Shinimi lifted her into her arms and looked at her master.

"Now. We're going back." said Demise.

Shinimi nodded. Demise opened a portal and the two walked through it. Taking Gufuu with them.


Vaati sat at the window staring outside. Akuyrō looked at him and sighed. She looked back at Ghirahim, who moved his chess piece to take Akuyrō's bishop.

"How long has he been sitting like that?" asked Akuyrō.

Ghirahim shrugged.

"I don't know. I thought that Gufuu would be back by now."

Vaati sat up suddenly, making the two playing chess look over at him in shock. The wind mage's face reflected both shock and fear. He jumped up and ran out the door. Akuyrō and Ghirahim ran after him.

"Gufuu!" called Vaati. "Gufuu where are you?!"

"Vaati!" Akuryō called after the wind mage as she and Ghirahim raced after him. "Vaati come back!"

They chased after him until he came to a stop, completely out of breath.

"She- she should be back..." Vaati breathed out. "Something's not- not right..."

Akuyrō and Ghirahim stared at him, breathing hard from chasing after him.

"Then we'll look for her together." Ghirahim said. "She probably just got lost in the woods-"

"She's not here anymore." A soft voice called out from a nearby tree.

They whipped around to where the voice had come from. There was a girl standing there, watching them. She had very long straight white hair that ran past her hips, and tight red clothing, the top was cut off at her rib cage, exposing her pale stomach. Most of her face was covered by her red shirt. She also had wicked blood red eyes and on her right cheek was a black diamond, the same as Ghirahim's.

"Demise took her. I saw the whole thing..." The new girl continued.

"Who- who are you?" Akuyrō stammered at the new comer.

"I can tell you that, mistress." Ghirahim cut in.

The new girl looked at Ghirahim, something like uneasiness filled her eyes.

"She's the rouge sword spirit who use to serve Demise, Hakudoshi." Ghirahim continued coolly.

The girl, Hakudoshi, looked uncomfortable under their heavy gazes.

"Look, if you want to find your friend you better hurry up. She's going to be restored to how a shadow should act by Demise fairly soon."

"What?" Vaati asked, horrified.

Hakudoshi blinked at him.

"She's going to be his new servant." She told him carefully. "So you better find her quickly."

Vaati felt cold fear flood through him at the thought of Gufuu being controlled by Demise. Akuyrō saw the expression on her new friend's face. She put a hand on Vaati's shoulder.

"Don't worry Vaati-kun." she said reassuringly. "We'll get her back."

"Well I must go." said Hakudoshi. "I wish you all luck."

And before anyone could say anything else Hakudoshi had dissapeared into the night. Ghirahim turned to Vaati and his mistress. He snapped his fingers and all of them were wearing the clothing they wore for travel. For Vaati that meant his mage clothing. Ghirahim had his jumpsuit and cape. Akuyrō wore her knee length frilly black dress, the white leggings, black dress shoes, and the black bow in her hair.

"Alright. We're good to go." said Akuyrō. "Let's go to the demon realm."

She opened a portal and all of them stepped through it.


Gufuu's vision came back into focus. She saw that she was sitting in a dark room, illuminated by candles, the room had a strange energy. She tried to move, but the dark energy in the room kept her down. She could barely move a mussel. The door opened and Demise walked in. She hissed at him, but didn't have the strength to do anything else. He just smiled darkly. He used magic to force Gufuu to her feet. The shadow had no control over her body as she stood. Gufuu noticed how hard it was to breath in this room.

"I'm sure you know why your here, failed shadow." Demise smirked.

"No. I'm afraid I don't." said Gufuu weakly.

"Well. Let me tell you then." started the demon king. "This is the room where your alleigence will change."

Gufuu's eyes widened.

"What?" she asked.

"Remember that black crystal that is now in your forehead?"

Gufuu nodded.

"Even as we speak that crystal is changing your thoughts and feelings so that you serve me."

Once he said that Gufuu's head started hurting. She grabbed her head in pain, and fell to her knees. The shadow mage yelled out in pain. 'Vaati...' she thought as she felt herself slipping. 'Help... me...' Suddenly all thoughts of Vaati vanished from her mind. She stood, with her head down. She heard Demise chuckle.

"Now address me shadow mage." he said.

Gufuu bowed, then stood up strait.

"Master."


OMG! I am so cruel... aren't I Whisp?

Whisp: It's okay...

Gufuu: Why are you so mean to me?

Whisp: Because it's easy and super fun.

Wind-Mage-Vaati12: It's nothing personal. But you are the main character and...

Whisp: And this is so much more amusing for us.

Gufuu: What relevance does that have?

Whisp: It's-... It's our job to do this! Just go with it, okay?

Wind-Mage-Vaati12: Gufuu...

Gufuu: *turns away*

Wind-Mage-Vaati12: Come on Fuu-chan!

Whisp: Please?

Gufuu: Not listening.

Whisp: You have to listen!

Wind-Mage-Vaati12: We'll deal with this behind the scenes. We must be going now. Bye-mii!

Whisp: Ciao!
