"God damn it don't rush me Sheik!"
"The enemy won't wait for you to regain your strength, get up." God this is worse than boot camp, and yes I've actually been to boot camp, it was only one day but it was the worst day of my life.
"No shit Sherlock, but last time I checked, they wouldn't feed me either so slow down and let me finish my god damn breakfast!" It's been a week since I started training with Sheik and I'm so ready to kill him. It's like trying to live with a fitness trainer, you can't eat this and you shouldn't do that. Wake up before the sun is up and run around the whole town for three hours. I don't have a clue how I could have liked him in the first place. He's so freaking bossy!
"When you are done meet me by the windmill." Finally he gave up! You think he would have learned when he tried this on the second day. I took a bite out of my egg and just took a sip of water be fore swallowing the rest whole. I know I'm a pig and I'm going to regret it later, but right now I just want to get the warm up over with so I can actually do the painful stuff before I decide to run away.
I got up slowly trying not to bother my amazingly sore body anymore than I have to, but you know what, I really don't know why I try so hard to not be in pain when I'm going to be forced into to so much pain I'll feel like I'm giving birth in about five minutes. See what I mean? Pointless. I stepped out of the old broken down house that we're staying in and saw Sheik leaning against one of the support beams of the windmill. It's funny how this place use to have a huge windmill at one point and now the only windmill they have here is smaller than most of the buildings.
"Hey Sheik, Why aren't there any people here?" It looked like he was playing with a string or something and as soon as he heard my voice it just went poof.
"Everyone left about a decade ago when the Royal family began to be in danger. It's very hard and dangerous to get in here now so no one knows where we are." Okay just wanted to know why we're the only ones here not the whole history of the town. They left would have been a good enough answer I just wanted to know if they were murdered here or something. Geese.
"Okay so what are we doing today? Swords… bow?"
"No, today is the day we rest." Say what?
"Wait did you just say rest? Whatever happened to 'The enemy won't wait for you to regain your strength.' or 'your enemy will always make it so they have the advantage' or my favorite 'Ganondorf won't stop till both you and Link are dead.' Whatever happened to those huh?" He had a real soft look in his eye before he started to walk down the road.
"I didn't say that we're not training. Come." Okay now I'm lost, but it doesn't matter if I'm lost because he's my guide so I'm going to follow him anyway. Didn't he just say like five minutes ago that we were going to rest? God he's more confusing than Link, and that's pretty hard to do. He managed it though. Oh that soft look in his eye doesn't bother me anymore, just letting you know. It use to, I thought he was Link's twin or something because he has that soft look that really creeps me out, but after about a week of him looking like that and just going real quiet I just didn't think about it and moved on. If there's one thing I've learned from Sheik in the past week it was don't' ask why he does the things he does. It's better off not knowing.
I followed him till we reached a door to a very small shed, okay so maybe it was a SHED per say, more like a very small house. He knocked on the door and to get a response of an old woman's voice yell out,
"Go away you demons!" Which got me to quirk my eyebrow and giggle. Whoever this woman is I like her already, very entertaining.
"Grandmother, I am no demon." Did he just say Grandmother? Dude he has a grandmother?!
"How do I know it is in fact you?" She inquired her old voice cracking, I had to hold in a laugh and another giggle as I saw Sheik's eyebrow twitch. Usually I'm the only one who can do that to him. I love this woman!
Being lost in my thoughts (thoughts meaning my love for Sheik's grandmother) I didn't even notice that he opened the door and the woman was ready to attack. Sheik stepped out of the way quickly putting me straight into the path of attack.
"OW! What the hell was that for?!?!" I yelled looking around for the culprit. I was having trouble finding her because I expected her to at least be around my height. So not being able to see the woman or anyone other than Sheik for that matter, I just blamed him. "Sheik you're such a jack ass! What the hell did I ever do to you?" That's when I heard someone clear there throat. Looking down I saw a very fiery looking old woman calmly standing with a broom in her hand. "Oh…"
"I'm sorry child. I thought that you were all working for Ganondorf."
"Do not worry Grandmother. If she was actually paying attention to her training she would have jumped out of the way." Time to engage the evil glare of death. God I hate him, he's such a pain in the ass.
"Well let's get out of this horrible sun. Come in." I refused to let up on my death glare on Sheik, after everything that happened with in the past week I was pretty damn pissed, I'm so sick of all his teasing and harassing. Some times I actually wish that I was with Link helping him, but then I realize that he's fighting evil dead people and become thankful for not being around. "Child, are you alright?" I should really stop cringing at my thoughts.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I hope Link's okay. I took in the sight around me looking at all the amazing little artifacts around me that you couldn't get anywhere else. "So apparently we're supposed to be here for training."
"Today we meditate." Sheik said.
"Uh, okay? I guess… How long are we going to meditate?"
"Until you find your answer." I don't have a question that I need answered. That's it, Sheik's mental. Deciding on not saying anything I just sat down next to him on the floor and shut my eyes… Okay I'm bored. How much longer do I have to do this? I wonder why he's making me meditate I mean it's not like I actually did anything that I wasn't right? Other than bitch him out every five minutes of the past week. You would too and don't even think about denying it either. He's a jackass and a pain in the ass. He's more of a pain in the ass than Link. I really miss him.
I hope he's okay, Midna is probably taking good care of him, if not I'm going to kill her. Wow that sounded way too protective, but I mean he should be going through Zombie land just about now. How the hell do you kill something that's already dead? It's a concept I've never really understood. I mean seriously what makes them stay on the ground if they were just walking around five seconds ago and were already dead. Maybe it's like a spell or something and it just wears off after a little while. I guess that's the best idea I'll ever come up with considering. Why do I feel like someone's watching me right now?
I opened my right eye only a itsy bit so I could see who was looking at me and strangely enough it was Sheik.
"Paint a portrait it will last longer." I said closing my eye again. You know I'm not finding it too odd that he's staring at me. I've kind of gotten use to it. I mean he has to 'analyze' what I'm doing in order to make sure that I'm doing it right, but half of the time when we aren't training (psh as if that ever happens) I'll catch him staring at me with those ruby eyes searching for something. Like they are right now. "Can I help you with something or are going to tell me I'm doing this wrong?"
"Strangely enough you are doing this correctly."
"Was that an almost compliment Sheik?" I opened both my eyes and leaned on my elbows with a very small smirk on my face.
"If you wish it to be." He's acting so strange, I mean he's actually holding a real conversation, if you could call it that. He looked away from me and started to stare out of a small window, it's horribly small but it gets the job done I guess. "What exactly is the relationship between you and Link?"
"Wait what?"
"Do I truthfully have to repeat myself?" Okay well this is confusing…
"Why do you care?"
"So it's true then… You two are lovers." I stood up and slapped him making a cracking sound echo through the little shack.
"I am so freaking sick of every one calling us lovers! We aren't, you got that?!" I really don't have a clue on why I was being so defensive, but I mean that's just how I am I guess. Right now I'm not too sure of anything, and I don't like it. "It's like the world is trying to hook us up, even though there isn't a point! I'm not going to be around for him when he needs me anyway… So will you all just stop… Besides why do you even care?"
He sighed and he looked at me again lowering his eyes to the ground. It almost made him look well… Guilty.
"There is a legend passed down by our people. About one named Elenya… As you may know she was the one who helped the Hero of Time defeat The Dark Lord." Oh great so now he's talking about Voldemorte. The pedophile of the wizarding world oooh. Hehehe. Okay I know who he's really talking about, but I feel a long dark and depressing story coming along, so I have to make light some how. "You may also know that she was the lover of one of my ancestors." Well I didn't have clue about that one. Next thing I know he pulled out a black string with a pendant that had a crow on it holding the symbol of the Sheikah. Isn't that the coolest thing I've every seen. "This necklace was hers, before she left him, she gave it to him so he would never forget about her. He never did and past in on to his first son. It's been a tradition in my family for the past few hundreds of years."
"That's an awesome necklace and a great story but what the hell does it have to do with you wanting to know if I was Link's 'lover'?"
He shut his eyes for a moment as if he was trying to regain his patience. You know what I just realized? His grandmother went poof. I can't see her anywhere.
" Every time the necklace was passed down we were told to be prepared for her reincarnation to come so they could spend their lives together." Oh jeeze I'm not liking this.
"That is correct. Good job Grandson." Where did she come from? "But you left out two very important parts." she sat down on a very comfortable looking couch, her short stubby legs not even making t over the edge of the plush seating. "Grandson, leave please. I wish to speak to her alone." Why do I feel like I'm about hear something horrible, or at least horribly embarrassing. Sheik nodded and left us alone in the shack and a moment of silence passed between us. To tell you the truth I was dreading the words that were about to come out of her mouth, for multiple reasons. "The important facts that he left out is who you are, and who he is." Don't tell me, please God don't let her say it. "He is indeed the reincarnation of who he was speaking of."
"What's the other important fact…."
"You are the reincarnation of the woman his ancestor was in love with all those centuries ago."
Shit. Shit fudge monkeys, do you know what this means?!?! I'm a freaking Mary Sue!
My eyes started to sting and I started to shake my head in disbelief. There's no way I'm a Sue, just no possible way! I'm human, the spirit said its self that I'm here just because he screwed up, this is all just one big mistake.
"Sorry, but I gotta say you are way off." my voice was shaking like the rest of me. "Once again you guys are mixing me up with Srej. Why do guys always do this?!"
"Your companion is not named Elenya."
"Yeah well you know what Kikyo's reincarnation wasn't named Kikyo! Her name was Kagome! Just because someone has the same name doesn't mean they have the same soul! There's probably a million girls out here called Elenya! And I can guarantee none of them are the reincarnate."
Her eyes suddenly went very serious, she was almost intimidating but her cute shortness threw everything else off.
"The sooner you accept your destiny the easier this journey will be." I am not a Mary Sue. I just stood up and left slamming the door.
"What bull shit."
