Yeah... about not updating in a long time - uh... I'm an artist too. So I like to draw. And I use an art program similar to Photoshop (and you know it takes a few hours to draw and stuff). So anyway, I've been busy with friends, school, and drawing. Yep, I have a life outside of the internet. That's right. xD And I've also been a bit lazy to update too. I had many opportunities to update but I never have.
Updates on my other fan fiction (For people who are reading it): Drowning In Pain - Okay, I'm going to try and get the next chapter up this weekend. So be patient. :D
Enjoy. :D

In a matter of seconds, we appeared in the alleyway. He looked at me warily.
"What?"
"Does it still hurt?"
I walked, limping every step. I held my eyes closed, trying to subside the pain.
"I'm f-fine. See?" I smiled falsely in his direction.
"You're a bad liar."
"I'm n-not lyi – ah!" I grabbed my butt, smiling weakly.
"How –how are you going to tell people about this? If they ask?" He sounded a little bit frightened. I was too, though. If we got caught – what would happen?
"I'll just say – I was fighting. 'Kay?"
He nodded, walking towards me. "I'm sorry," he whispered.
"It's fine." I smiled at him.
He tried smiling, but couldn't.
"I-I'll be your shadow..." I watched him disappear and I had my shadow again.
I painfully limped into the bar.
"Telma?" I called.
"Link, what's been – oh my goodness!" She ran out from behind her counter. "What happened?"
"I knew she would ask..." Dark said dully.
"Telma... well – I..." What should I use as an excuse?
"Hmmm?" She looked at me suspiciously.
"I was – in a battle."
"Wouldn't there be blood?" she asked.
"I pulled a muscle in my leg." I smiled, sheepishly.
"Oh. What a relief!"
Yes, I had to agree. What a relief – she fell for it.
"So you are here for your tunic then?"
"Yes, I am. How did it turn out?"
"Really nice, honey. I'll go grab it."
"Thank you."
I watched her walk around her counter and pull out my tunic and leggings.
"Here," she smiled.
I limped towards the counter and took the clothing from her hands. I inspected the both of them and she did a great job. The stitches were barely visible.
"Thank you, Telma. This means a lot to me."
"You're welcome, child. And be more careful next time. You don't always want to be hurt," she joked.
"Yeah..." I bit my bottom lip.
"Bye, Link!" she called from behind her bar counter.
"Bye, Telma." And I left the store.
"So, do you think she thought anything was – off?" he asked hesitantly, his voice still echoing.
"No... I do not believe so," I said out loud. No one was around, so it didn't really matter if it looked like I was talking to myself. "Hey, Dark – are you coming out?"
"I'm fine, thanks. I'll feel too tempted and you should change now."
"What? I'd thought you would want to come out and kiss me or something –"
"No, actually. I'm fine where I am. You should just get changed first and then I'll come out."
"You'll miss my naked body..." I said seductively.
"I can enjoy the view from down here."
'Down here'? Oh, that was right – he was my shadow, so he was on the ground. But didn't he also see out of my eyes? And why didn't he want to come out? Was he... avoiding me?
"I'm not avoiding you. I'm just not feeling right. And not very sexual. Just – I'm feeling a little – off..."
'A little off'? What was up with him? This wasn't like Dark...
"Link, I can hear your thoughts remember? So, listen up... I'm just feeling a little off. It doesn't necessarily mean I'm angry or upset with you. I just don't feel right. So don't be worried. Just get changed so we can go to Ordon Village next."
"But Dark!"
"Shush. Not another peep. Now get changed." He sounded like my parent or something.
"Now listen here, Dark. You're not my guardian! I can do whatever I want to do! So don't be all authoritative in my face. No one is in control of what I can do."
"And that just gave me a swell idea."
"Wha-what are you talking about? Dark?"
"You'll see all in good time. Now get changed."
"No." I crossed my arms, my eyebrows pushing together. I couldn't believe we were already fighting again. "I want you to explain to me why you're 'off' and what you're 'up to'."
"Listen, I'll explain later."
"No, I want an answer now!" I glared angrily at my shadow. I swear to the Goddesses if someone was watching me then, they would have probably thought I was a freak. I was screaming at my shadow. They would probably think I was real intelligent.
"Now, now, we don't have to get feisty now, do we?" he asked charmingly. I looked up to see him walking towards me. He was smirking slightly and he still had his arm up, gesturing towards his previous words.
"Well, I will get feisty if you don't give me a straight answer!"
"Why is your anger building at such a high level, love?" His tone was so sarcastic.
"First of all, you control my anger. So maybe you could tone it down a bit! And second of all – you won't give me a straight answer!"
"Good answer."
"You should be answering me!"
"I don't think I should. I would just get you angry," he teased lightly, crossing his arms. He was now two strides away from me.
"Rrrr..." I growled, baring my teeth.
"Oooh. What a scary dog! Going to rip me up to shreds, little wolfy?"
"I'm not a dog!" I yelled.
"– anymore." He smirked at me. He just absolutely enjoyed finishing that sentence. My mouth dropped, opening wide.
"How dare you!"
"How dare I what? How dare I speak the truth? You were a wolf before. Dare I say, a mutt?"
"I was no goddamned mutt!" I hollered.
"Then that means you're lying. And you don't want to lie to your lover, am I right?"
"Stop pissing me off! Are you getting some enjoyment out of this?"
"I rarely see you angry. It does slightly amuse me..."
So this was amusing him, eh? What a little –
"Bastard!" I shouted.
"Ouch. That hurt. Got any more curses up your sleeve?"
"Answer my question. Now," I mumbled angrily.
"Oh, I've got a good curse to use on you." He completely ignored my request. "No, you're not actually a mutt. You're my bitch."
"That's it, Dark! You have hit my last nerve!"
"You don't think I know?" he chuckled.
"Stop being such a goddamned smartass!"
"Oh, so I'm not able to be intelligent?"
I pulled out the Master Sword.
"Oh ho ho. And now we have our weapon to protect us!" He laughed loudly, his voice bouncing off of the stone walls.
"You – you..." My voice shook slightly as well as my hands holding the blue hilt.
"– bastard? You can't say it twice, you know. Makes the argument sound cheesy."
"Just – shut your mouth!"
"Why are you so angry, love?" he asked mockingly.
"Stop it! Just, please!" I cried hoarsely. I held my forehead with my right hand while my sword was in the other. My head ached so badly.
"Oh, is the baby going to cry?"
"Dark..." I mumbled softly. My eyes grew foggy from the tears filling them. "I'm so c-confused." I dropped my sword and fell to my knees.
"Link?" The tone in his voice changed dramatically. It went from obnoxious to worried. "What's wrong?"
"I'm s-so c-confused. So – so confused." I held my head tightly, trying to help control the blistering pain. I let the tears run down my face. I stared at the hard ground I was kneeling on. Dark's black boots suddenly appeared in my vision.
"What are you so confused about?" he asked worriedly. I looked up at him, shaking my head several times.
"I'm so confused," I moaned.
"About what, Link? About what?"
He bent down on one knee, holding my chin and lightly rubbing my bottom lip with his thumb.
"I'm just so goddamned confused!" I cried.
"Shhh. About what, love?" he whispered.
"About – a-about –" He leaned in to kiss my lips, but I pushed him away. "No, no, no!" I shook my head, several times.
"Link, I'm only trying to comfort you..." Dark said calmly. He leaned in – yet again – to touch his lips against mine.
"I don't want to! I don't want it! No!" I shoved him back again.
"Link, are you rejecting me?"
"You don't understand it. I'M SO GODDAMNED CONFUSED! You're fucking everything up!"
He looked shocked. He reached forward to touch me again but I jumped back.
"No, no, no! Don't touch me!" I cried. I pulled myself away from him. "Get away from me!"
He got up slowly, looking at me with a mixture of shock and sadness.
"Link...?"
I pulled myself further away from him until I hit a wall. I pulled my knees up to my chest and held them securely with my arms.
"Please, explain to me why you are freaking out."
"I can't!" I cried, still shaking my head. "I don't want to!"
"Link, it's okay. Just calm down." I looked up to see him carefully walking towards me.
"No, no, no!" I curled up into a tighter ball.
"It's okay." He reached me and he caressed my cheek. "No one will hurt you. You're fine."
"No!" I groaned. I slapped him across the face. He jumped back slightly, holding his cheek. "Stop doing this to me! I don't want it!"
"Link, don't hurt me! I'm your boyfriend!" he said.
"I can't d-do it a-anymore. I just... c-can't. I-I'm too t-tired. I'm s-such a bad boyfriend..."
"No, it's me that is the bad boyfriend..." he murmured. He nudged his forehead against mine. "...I'm sorry..."
I pushed him back. "Don't touch me..."
"Link..." His jaw hung low in shock. "I don't understand what's wrong. Why can't I touch you...?"
"I don't w-want i-it..." I mumbled. "This i-isn't w-w-working out..."
"Link... are you joking? Are we not together anymore?"
I shook my head.
"N-no...! This can't b-be happening!" he said hoarsely. "No, please, Link! I love you!"
I shook my head again.
"No, no! I love you! We can't break up over some – stupid ar-argument!"
I watched some tears stream down his dark face. This upset me so much. I did still love him but –
"I just need some space..." I mumbled.
"This isn't h-happening!" he moaned.
I felt so tired and lightheaded. I let go of my legs and let my arms drop at my sides.
"I-it is..." I whispered. My lids were dropping slowly. I was about to pass out.
"Link? Are you okay...?"
"N-no..." And I fainted.
Is - is that what just happened. Dark and Link j-just broke up? Oh no. Not good. I love this pairing but it is fun to screw around with them. xD
Anyways, leave me some flames, reviews, whatever.
