"Oh my head…" Princess Zelda sat straight up in the small bed. She put one hand to her
forehead and groaned. It throbbed slightly, yet she couldn't remember doing anything out
of the ordinary that she could remember…

"Are you feeling better now?" Saria came in the room, carrying a small breakfast on a
tray. Zelda looked around her, noting it was early morning. Link was asleep on a cot not
far away, his hand and arm bandaged up. Zelda got the feeling something wasn't quite
right.

"Yes, I am. What happened?" Zelda asked, sitting more comfortably as Saria settled the
tray on her lap. Spryte flitted about Saria's shoulders during the whole process.

"You had too much to drink, and Cerena…well, Cerena is somewhere, I haven't a clue."
Saria said simply. "Link cut himself on some glass."

"Yeah, Cerena's a madwoman." Link said, in a half asleep state. Saria smiled slightly
and shook her head. Heading over to his cot, she shook the tall blonde boy.

"You know that's not true, sleepyhead. If you knew as much about her as I did, than
you'd understand why she was so frantic about getting out…" Saria said, pulling at the
sheets that covered Link. He sat up and yawned.

"Yes…this is why…" Cerena's gentle voice entered the room ahead of her girlish form,
which supported another person.

"Cerena! Where have you…" Saria started to admonish the girl but then stopped when
she saw Dokoru.

"This is Dokoru." Cerena said simply, looking fondly at the boy her age, who held a
white rose in one hand, as if his life depended on it. His eyes, a clear violet, looked
straight at the people in the room.

Cerena led him to a chair and sat him down. He looked exhausted, but his eyes followed
Cerena's every move.

Zelda felt strange in the presence of this boy. He was very handsome, and something
about him made her think of Link, only slightly different. Something darker than Link
himself…

Link got off of his cot and stood up. Reaching for his shirt, he felt a slight stitch in his
side, but he didn't take notice of it that much. Slipping on his shirt, he walked over to
Saria, who was handing Dokoru a drink and softly talking to him.

"Saria? I'm going to go get some tea. For me." Link said, looking down at Dokoru's
golden tinted purple head. Saria just nodded.

Dokoru's eyes, Saria noticed, looked only at Cerena. Even though they glanced at Saria
or Zelda from time to time, they saw nothing but the slim auburn haired girl.

'Cerena's going to play such a big part in his healing…' Saria sighed to herself. She
busied herself with tending to Zelda, who never took her eyes off Dokoru.

Cerena brought a blanket to him and wrapped it around him, and as she did so, his arms
reached out to hold her once again. Cerena dropped her head on his shoulder and they sat
that way for a long time.

.oO~*-*~Oo.

Seijin woke up lying on the hard floor of the adobe room. The back of his skull was sore,
a little bit, but otherwise, he was fine. The last thing he had known was he'd raised his
sword to end the stranger's suffering, and was knocked back by some sort of power or
light.

"Are…are you allright?" A girl's voice asked him, and there was a strange accent to his
ears.

He looked towards the cot where the girl had been put and saw she was now sitting up
and looking at him with the prettiest red eyes he'd seen on a girl.

That's when he noticed her long dark brown hair was now lighter in color and shorter.

"Are you all right?" He found himself asking her the same question.

"I think so. Only, I don't know where I am." She replied, that same accent ringing in his
ears. It was a pleasant sound, to hear her talking.

"Well, you're in Hyrule. I'm Seijin. Seijin Toushou." Seijin stood up, brushing his white
hair out of golden eyes.

She'd never seen such a boy as this before. She'd been walking along a trail in the forest,
homewards, when all of a sudden a storm had struck. She'd been hit by something and
passed out and awakened here, with a very beautiful male stretched out on the floor
beside her cot.

"I'm…" She put a hand to her face, covering the scar on it. She looked puzzled. "I don't
know who I am."

"Surely, you must remember your name?" Seijin pressed. He didn't even turn when Roth
came in and gasped. Roth quickly got over his surprise and sat down to watch the
conversation.

"No…I don't…" She looked at the boy beside her and then at the man sitting on a bench
not far off. "I'm not sure…" She began to cry, her face buried in her hands.

"We'll call her…Neko. For some reason, she makes me think of a cat." I Onbin said,
from the doorway. A strange light was in her eyes and her pink hair made her look even
wilder. She smiled at the girl and walked to her cot and sat next to her.

Neko began to cry onto I Onbin's shoulder.

"Neko…" Seijin said to himself. And then he smiled.
