The Legend of Zelda: The Interloper of Time
-Chapter 27-
-Last Time-
Saria only responded with a nod, not even bothering to look up at the Zora princess as she continued to fuss over Naruto. She didn't even react as light consumed their forms once again, not until she heard Ruto's last words. "Good, I'd hate to have to leave my ex-fiancé and father of my child to someone unworthy."
-Zora's Domain-
"WHAT!?" Saria's shot of shock and outrage rang through the rapidly defrosting home of the Zora, causing many of the recently revived fish people to jump or flinch in surprise.
-And Now-
"Ugh, my head," Naruto groaned as he slowly sat up from the mossy bed he was lying on, a hand shooting up to his head as a brief wave of nausea and disorientation ran through him. Once it faded, he slowly looked around and found himself surrounded by the familiar architecture of Zora's domain, now without its recent icy finish. 'Looks like we did it.' He thought with a soft smile before blinking when he felt a weight shift on his waist.
Looking towards he source, he was greeted with the sight of a certain greenette wearing her usual clothing again sleeping beside him, clutching his torso in a vice grip as her head rested against his bare chest. Speaking of which, he blushed lightly once he realized he was in nothing but his underwear and several bandages covering various parts of his body. "Man, I must have been really messed up, wasn't I?"
"Affirmative Master," Naruto practically jumped out of his skin as an unknown metallic feminine voice said tiredly. "You received seventeen penetrating injuring to your torso, left bicep, left forearm, and right calf, thirteen of which should have been fatal alongside severe trauma to the parietal and occipital sections of the cranium and thirty-nine minor contusions to your dermal and subcutaneous tissue."
"Who said that? …and what did you say?" Naruto asked, his gaze snapping from one side of the room to the other before locking on to a stone table in the corner that had all of his and Saria's stuff on it, alongside Elia and Navi who were sleeping on small balls of moss. His focus however, was on the Master Sword as it pulsed with a gentle bluish-silver light.
"My designation given to me by the goddesses is Fi, I am a spiritual entity created within the Master Sword to assist the first chosen hero of the goddess in her mission to stop the evil entity known as Demise." The sword said, her voice sounding even weaker than before. "And to simplify my last statement, you were stabbed several times, hit the back of your head very hard, and were scratched in several places."
"…Ah," Was all Naruto could say with a grimace as memories of said injuries flashed through his mind, accompanied by several real and phantom aches across his body. "Are you okay? You sound exhausted." Sure, he found it odd that he was talking to a sword but to be honest he'd already dealt with weirder.
"The light energy I had accumulated from you during the conflict with Queen Octorok is nearly depleted. I estimate that with minimal activity, I have approximately four hours and twelve minutes before returning to dormancy." Fi said, the glow around the sword flickering slightly as she spoke.
"Is there any way I could help?" Naruto asked, since in his mind Fi had been helping him and his friends out the whole time it was only fair to offer her some in return. That and his natural kindness
"…Possibly… If you were to grasp my vessel's handle I theoretically would be able to siphon more light energy from your body thus prolonging how long I can keep myself active." Fi said after a moment of consideration. "However, such an action would be unwise at this time with your current con-"
"Alright then, just give a moment to get up and dressed." Naruto cut her off as he carefully pried himself out of Saria's grasp, his previous embarrassment somehow completely forgotten. Slowly getting off the bed, the whiskered blonde stumbled slightly before catching himself and walking over to the table. Sighing when he saw the mangled Zora armor he had been wearing, he gently moved it aside then reached into his enchanted pouch and pulled out his regular clothes.
Slipping them on, he stretched in a few times to work the kinks out of his back and joints before reaching down and picking up the Master Sword, sheath and all. "Okay, do your thing."
"You should rest some more before allowing me to attempt this. Your body is still recovering from the stress imposed on it by-"
"Just do it already, I'll be fine." Naruto said, cutting Fi off again with an annoyed look.
"…Proceeding," Fi said as tiny flickers of golden energy started seeping down Naruto's arm and into the sword. Said blonde hissed softly as a strong burning sensation shot through the limb, making him fumble with the handle for a second.
"Yeesh that stings."
"I did try to warn you master. Your body has suffered intense strain do to the high percentage of energy you rapidly expelled." Fi said, continuing to slowly absorb energy for a few more seconds before the Master Sword shined brightly. A small sphere of light shot from the yellow gem in the hilt and floated across from Naruto for a second before bursting.
Covering his eyes reflexively, Naruto heard several yelps around him telling him that Saria, Navi, and Elia had been woke up by the sudden light show. When the flash died down, Naruto lowered his arms and gapped slightly at what he saw. Floating a foot off the ground before him was a short slender girl with blue metallic looking skin, blank eyes, and wearing a half blue, half purple shawl with green and black leggings and a large blue gem in the center of her chest.
"Transfer complete, power levels are at optimum," The girl said in Fi's voice as she looked herself over. "Corporeal transition working at ninety-three percent efficiency," She said to herself before turning back to Naruto and inclining her head. "How may I be of assistance master Naruto, mistress?"
"Okay, did not see that comING! Ow! Ow! Ow!" Naruto yelped as a hand grabbed onto his ear and firmly pulled back on it until he fell back on the bed with a muffled *Thump*. Rubbing the sore area, Naruto turned towards the source with a mild glare that quickly wilted against the blood-shot eyes of his best friend.
"Stupid idiot! What were you thinking doing something so reckless and dangerous!?" She yelled while pounding her fists against his chest.
"Hey! Easy, easy, I was just helping Fi, who turns out to be the Master Sword or something, out since she was-"
"I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT!" Saria cut him off with a scream as she got on top of him, grabbed his collar with both hands, and pulled him right up to her face. "I'm talking about you almost getting yourself killed! Why would you do that!? Do *Hic* you realize how scared I was!? I thought I lost you! I thought *Sniff* you were gone! That I'd never see you again! Why would you *Hic* do that!? WHY!?" Tears started to drip from her eyes again as she yelled, her voice breaking with small sobs and sniffles as her arms trembled violently before giving out under her as she sobbed into his chest.
Finally realizing what she was talking about, Naruto expression became somber as he slowly wrapped his arms around Saria. "I'm sorry," He said softly while rubbing her back comfortingly. "I wasn't thinking, I just saw you in danger and my body moved on its own." As he spoke, Fi dispelled herself while Navi and Elia somehow lifted the Master Sword, sheath and harness included, and floated out the room.
*Hic* "T-that sounds l-like something *Hic* you would d-do," Saria mumbled through his shirt, her head moving slightly so that he could see one of her eyes. "B-but still *sniff*, p-promise you won't do that again, e-ever. Please?" She pleaded, even though she knew what his answer would be.
"You know I can't make that promise." Yep, there it was. "I will always do my best to keep you safe, even if it means putting myself in danger to do it. Just like I know you would do the exact same for me." Naruto said as he raised a hand up to her head ran his fingers through her leafy green locks.
"I k-knew you'd say that," Saria said sadly as she lifted her head up.
"Then why did you ask?"
"So I'd have the perfect excuse to do this." The next thing Naruto knew, Saria had her lips pressed firmly against his while her hands slipped under his shirt.
-Outside the bedroom-
"Well, can't say I didn't see this coming." Navi said in a dull tone as she and Elia sat on a pile of luminescent moss, doing their best to ignore the moaning coming from the room next to them. "They are really going at it in there."
"Hopefully the silencing ward will keep up." Elia said while looking towards the barely visible distortion surrounding them and the doorway. "I wish that we could be on the other side to cat the stupid thing." She muttered, her whole body glowing like a miniature green sun from embarrassment.
"That would certainly be nice. You wouldn't happen to know one like that, would you?" Navi asked while looking towards the Master Sword they had set in the corner.
"I do not, I only withhold information that would have been helpful to the first chosen hero's travels, such as Hyrule's terrain and local lifeforms. Even then, said information is several thousand years out of date and thus unreliable." Fi said as the Master Sword pulsed in time with her words.
"Naturally." Navi groaned with her face in her palms just as a particularly loud moan sounded out.
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…Want to take bets on how long it takes till they tire out."
-Two hours later-
A once again undressed Naruto and equally nude Saria laid side by side on the moss bed covered in sweat as their breaths came in short rapid gasps. "That was… that was…" Saria tried to say but failed to come up with the proper words.
"…Wow?" Naruto asked/stated breathlessly.
"…Yeah …wow." She agreed while snuggling into his side. A peaceful silence settled over them as they basked in the afterglow, until it was broken by…
"If you two are done in there, the King's messenger arrived like ten minutes ago saying that his Highness wishes to speak with you both!" Navi called in, making the two shoot up in surprise while their faces turned bright red.
"Oh goddesses, did they…"
"No! We didn't see anything! Heard it, hell yes! Saw, no!" Navi cut Saria off, both relieving and further embarrassing the two as they quickly redressed themselves. "By the way, Naruto I need twenty rupees!"
"What? Why?" Naruto asked as he finished putting his shirt on and walked out, his eyebrow rising when he saw the blue fairy pouting in a corner as Elia patted her back. "What's up with you?"
"She just learned that betting against a sentient weapon capable of doing a thousand calculations a minute is not exactly a wise idea." Elia explained with a giggle.
"One thousand three hundred and fifteen to be exact." Fi stated as she reappeared before them just as Saria also exited the room.
"You don't have to rub it in," Navi muttered as she accepted the red jewel Naruto handed her before chucking it at the sword spirit, who didn't even flinch as it collided with the gem in her chest and vanished. "What do you even need money for anyway?"
"Nothing, but I learned from my old master that having something and not needing it is usually better than not having it and needing it."
"He sounded like a smart man." Saria said, her cheeks still lightly tinted red as she picked up the Master Sword and put its harness on.
"He was, a lot like yourself from what I have been able to glean during our brief interactions." Fi said as she floated across the room until she was directly in front of the greenette. "Speaking of which, allow me to formally introduce myself, my name is Fi."
"It's nice to meet you face to face, and thanks for before, I don't think we would be here right now if you hadn't helped with that last fight." Saria said with smile as she bowed her head.
"I was merely doing my duty Mistress Saria."
"Still, thanks for the help."
"…You are welcome." Fi said unsurely with a tilt of her head before turning back into a ball of light and returning to the Master Sword. "We should get going, it has been seventeen minutes since the King of Zoras requested your presence. It would be unwise to make him wait any longer, unless your recent fornication has left you too exhausted to do so."
"Oh right… ehem, let's get going then." Saria said as her and Naruto's faces quickly went aflame again.
"Yeah, and we can talk about ALL the details along the way." Navi said as she landed on the blushing blonde's shoulder with a Cheshire smile.
'This is going to be a long walk.' Naruto and Saria thought at the same time as they sighed.
-End Chapter-
AN: As promised, due to popular demand Fi has made a full appearance. I'm sorry if this chapter wasn't very good, I'm really trying to get better with emotional parts and any advice would be very welcome. Thank you for reading and please review.
