WHEN TWO BECOMES ONE
By Emerald Demuria
Disclaimer: I do not own anything that has to do with Gundam Wing or Zelda. I just used their characters to write a piece of fan fiction in my spare time.
This is one of my favorite chapters. Please tell me what you think about the beginning portion of this chapter. I just so happened that I added some unintentional humor to that part. Read and Review so that I can have something to work on for a feature sequel.
CHAPTER 4 Parting Means Sweet Sorrow
The next day came peacefully and the weather grew pleasant and mildly cool. A welcoming breath like a soft kiss would blow in from the open windows upstairs, enveloping the whole house in its cool freshness. Quatre and Rose were still in bed, and at the moment they were expecting Zelda's arrival. It was on that same day when something drastic happened. It happened at the beginning of dinner when Link and Rose were sitting at the table. Zelda was pouring the juice and Link was seated facing the window at the table. Rose flicked on the radio. "This just in!" Started the newscaster. "A mysterious character going by the name of Ganandorf has been tearing the nation apart. He took out his vengeance and rage on a small town east of Hyrule the other day, hoping to find what he has been looking for. This is one job that even the police can't handle. There is a fire in his eyes that light up when he battles others. Once he even mentioned that when he found his true enemy and killed him, he would take over the world! To find out more about this, tune in to the 11 o'clock newscast and." The reporter droned on and on. A worried look crossed Links face as he gulped his food down and turned to look at the dark, nighttime sky. "Ganandorf is on the loose again. One of these days I feared that he would resort to an evil plan like this one to get the one thing he desires!" Link shouted. "Well not this time!" Link got up from the table and dashed down into the basement. Zelda stared in horror. Link left and soon he appeared at the top of the basement stairs with the same bag that he had brought down a few days earlier. "Please, don't tell me you are going to go after Ganandorf. Remember what happened last time?" Zelda pleaded. "Yes, I know, but one of these days he has to learn his lesson. He can't keep doing these kinds of things to get what he wants. Even if he has to die to learn his lesson I'll make sure that he does that." "Yes, but you are still not fit to leave the house. Look at that shoulder! It's still in a bandage! Just wait a few more days, please? I beg of you!" Shouted Zelda. But it was of no avail. Link stooped to about her level and began to talk softly. "There are some things in life that have to be done in order to assure that we can all live happy and safe lives. They may not be the things that we favor doing, or think that we can do, but it must get done. I know that I shouldn't go out there, but if I leave this mess to grow, the people that I love and cherish could end up getting hurt. I wouldn't want that to happen." Link said. Zelda's face began to quiver, and she burst into a stream of fresh tears, each one oozing out of her eyes. "I can't bear to see another person that I treasure in my life go to waist because they did something that endangered their life. I love you too much to let that happen, and if it does I would never be the same. Things are fine the way they are. Don't mess with them." Zelda said, shaking like crazy. "There, there." Cooed Link as he embraced Zelda in a warm hug. "Everything is going to be all right." "You make it sound so easy, like you will be gone and then back in a short time. But I know that not to be true." Zelda pouted and cried even harder. Suddenly, Link did something that he had never done before. He lifted Zelda's tear stained face and gave her a soft, delicate kiss on the lips. Everything was forgotten for that brief moment as the two of them held each other in that loving posture. Finally Link drew away and walked out the door into the dark, nighttime scenery amid sniffles from Zelda. "He's gone, finally gone!" Wailed Zelda in a distressed tone of voice. Then she turned and headed upstairs. Once upstairs Zelda turned to look at the sleeping, still forms of Rose and Quatre. She hated to wake them from their peaceful sleep, but she forced herself forward. Gently she touched Rose and Quatre and they both awakened. Then she walked over to the medicine cabinet and took out the bottle of cream. Once again, she went through the ritual of administering it on to both Rose and Quatre. Afterwards, she fed them each a bowl of broth. Then the room went silent. Suddenly Zelda broke the peace. "He's gone! Link just left to go on another one of his missions. And he was in no condition to leave the house with that shoulder of his. Early during dinner, Ganandorf was reported as being seen in a town near Hyrule causing havoc and destruction. Since Link is concerned with everything involving Ganandorf, he left and took off immediately. What will happen next, I don't know." Zelda sighed. "You mean Ganandorf was reported as being seen in town?" Questioned Rose in a surprised tone of voice. "Yes, why?" asked Zelda. "Because, earlier on we saw a man who had strength and power that was beyond recognition. It was so strong it went off of the charts. He identified himself as being Ganandorf and then made ready to destroy us. He did and then we came to your house. " Quatre said. "Then the reason that Ganandorf came to this house was because he was chasing after you guys!" Finalized Zelda. " And that was why Link got mixed up in the whole thing!" "Yes, but he wanted to try to get Link's attention by getting us. He thought that if he bothered some other innocent people, then Link would come and he would settle things." Rose said. "Little does Ganandorf know that Link has a weakness when it comes to things like that. He has to be able to hear about the things that Ganandorf does through any source, no matter what it is. Otherwise he'll act like nothing ever happened." Zelda turned to look at Quatre. "Then that is why he didn't show up at the field like Ganandorf planned! And also why Ganandorf is so mad at the moment!" Quatre said excitedly. "Yes, and Link is in grave danger if things go the way they did in the field that other night," Zelda finished speaking and then stood up. Quietly she left the room. "Things are looking bad, Quatre." Rose said. "And they might just get worse." But the only sound that she received was a soft swish as Quatre settled down and went to sleep. Outside of the house, Link looked back. He was wrong to have left, Zelda had been right. But after the way things had turned out inside, there was no going back. Slowly he made his way across the field towards a distant whinnying sound. After walking a few feet he reached a sleek, silver maned, surefooted, brown horse. Her name was Epona, and she was Link's. "Hold still girl." Link told the horse and he settled his bag firmly on his right shoulder. Three seconds later he jumped up on to the horse. His landing was a bit awkward and he almost slipped out of the saddle. With a light tap on the horse's sides, he galloped off into the starry nighttime scenery and headed away from home through the woods. Quickly galloping, he lost sight of the house in no time and was swallowed up in the nights enveloping darkness. It wasn't long before he reached the main road after clearing the woods. The path was a bit bumpy so he slowed Epona from a gallop to a canter. The moon shown brightly, lighting the way for both the horse and the rider. Unaware of the dangers ahead, both of them traveled on through the road. Suddenly Epona neighed frightenedly. Lightning blasted on the road a few feet ahead of them. Epona reared upwards, catching Link off guard and throwing him off. He flew backwards, landing in the soft grass at the side of the road. Nursing his aching left shoulder he walked to Epona just as a torrential downpour came. Running for a nearby cave they decided to take shelter. They reached the cave just in time, for the whole field lit ablaze with fire. Not even waiting for the rain to stop, Link jumped onto Epona and coaxed the scared horse into a gallop. Riding as fast as he could manage, Link traveled down the road, paying no attention to the burning blaze behind him. Something told him that he should have.
