I just want to apologize for not knowing who requested this... I remember someone wanting Sheik to be the hero for once, so I wrote it and now I don't know who to dedicate it to!

Enjoy!


96. Lesson


"Get back here!" I sprint after the guy that pinned my sister and stuck his hand up her skirt. Sure, she shouldn't have listened to that slut, Nabooru, and wore it in the first place. Okay, that was a little harsh. Nabooru only dressed trashy. She was actually really manly. But that dude had no right touching Aryll.

"Catch me if you can, little boy." I rounded the corner after him and was pushed harshly into the alley wall. A groan passed my lips as the ground rose to meet me. Or was I falling?

"Should have watched your mouth, runt." A swift kick to my stomach dropped me.

"Should have kept your hands to yourself." I sat up and spat blood. That couldn't be good.

A boot came into my vision, only to collide with my head. Then everything went dark.


Sweat was rolling off my back. An hour of hard-core training with Impa will do that to anyone. I heard a laugh and someone crying out down one of the alleyways. I'd never been one to ignore such things, so I turned down the small area. The sight before me was pitiful. A guy was on the ground as another repeatedly kicked him. The bigger guy saw me and turned my way.

"This doesn't concern you, pipsqueak. Get lost." He snarled and I raised an eyebrow.

"I think it does. I don't appreciate being called names." My muscles coiled like a spring as the guy fully faced me.

"How about you go on your way and I don't beat your pretty body to a pulp." The guy was slow when compared to me. I had him pinned to the wall before he could gasp. I tied his arms behind his back with the bandages on my left hand. I guess it was a good thing Impa wanted to box today.

"How about I have mercy on you where you had none for this boy." The man whimpered as I pushed his arms further in, threatening to dislocate both.

"Please." I let him go and had to jump back as the man tried to kick me. "Stupid boy!"

I rebounded off one wall to the other and then aimed for his head. He lost consciousness when my foot made contact with his temple, but I knew he wasn't dead because I had restrained myself. I carefully collected the guy on the ground into my arms and decided I would carry him back to Impa's gym. She knew how to take care of things like this better than I did.


"Mmm. Where..."

A gruff, yet womanly voice reached my ears. "You're in my gym, young man."

"Who a-"

"Impa." She spoke before I could even ask how I had got here. "And the one that brought you here is my nephew, Sheik. He is in the other room washing your clothes. You made quite the mess on my floors."

"Wher-"

"You were laying in an alleyway with a bigger man kicking you. Sheik has always been one to help. He stopped the man and brought you to me." I blinked at the light above me as I finally opened my eyes.

"Oh." I slowly sat up, my stomach aching like I had been run over.

"I see you're awake." A new voice. I glanced in the direction it had come from. Beautiful. That was the only way to describe him.

"Ye-yeah." Sheik walked over and I gasped as his fingers danced across my forehead.

"Hmm. It appears that the swelling has gone down." He grabbed my hand and placed two tiny pills in it before offering me a glass of water from a table next to the small bed. "Those should help with the headache you will get if you don't have it already."

"Th-" I gulped, catching my breath. His eyes were so red. "Thanks."

"You're welcome." I noticed the woman was gone right before he sat on the cot next to me. "Care to explain why you were being beat up?"

I averted my gaze when Sheik didn't, happy to have the pills to take so I could focus on something else for a moment. My throat felt much better as I downed the rest of the water. "My sister... That guy stuck his hand up her skirt. I tried to teach him a lesson, but he hid and, before I knew what was happening, I was out cold."

His brows drew down and I couldn't help but think his was cute when upset. "I see."

"Would you like to go out to eat sometime?" I bit the inside of my cheeks when he just stared at me. Where had that come from?! "I mean... You saved me and I would love to repay you somehow."

"Oh." Sheik's eyes widened in surprise and then settled into a caring gaze. "I'd really like that. When are you free?"


96. Thrilled

Sheik was absolutely thrilled when Link had him ride a giant leaf up Death Mountain, claiming it was much faster.


I don't really have much to say besides I'm not really writing right now. My bed had to be fixed, so I have no private space to type without someone over my shoulder. I'm sorry for not updating more like I want to/said I would.

Review. I love getting reviews. And to the two people that reviewed asking for Fury to be wrote out, I am doing that. It will be an extra on one of the chapters to come because I do not have a word on my list to match it.

Love and waffles, (I love waffles.)
