Chapter 18: ?
Zelda felt incredibly comfortable, lying there naked in Link's warm embrace. She felt his skin against hers underneath the blankets of the soft bed. They kissed and started to make love. Again. Their clothes were scattered across the room, disorderly in the wooden cabin. But they didn't care. The only thing they cared about was each other at that moment. And at the moments before and the moments that would come. They loved each other and released it time after time. When they finished their heated loveplay with intense moans, they kept staring at each other. "I love you, Link." Zelda said, caressing her lover's chest. Link kissed her forehead. "I know." he said with a smile to his lovely girl. "Do you... love me too?" Zelda asked with an innocent smile. "No." Link said grinning. "You!" Zelda said laughing, giving Link a slight push. Not too hard. She didn't want to push him away from her. Never. Outside, the couple heard voices. A loud one, belong to Terry, shot out from the others. "How about that, Galford? No one can beat me!" "Yeah well, I'm just learning this game, so it's no miracle you keep beating me." "That's true, Terry." a female voice said. Outside, Terry was teaching Galford basketball. Like Terry did to everyone, he beat him over and over again after he had taught him that the ball had to go into the ring. A bit off from the court, sitting against a tree was Kyo. Next to him stood Fox, poundering his head over the latest events. He felt guilty for shooting Kyo. But his friend seemed to just make jokes about it and didn't take it as seriously as he. "You're a walking collection of nerves, Fox." Kyo said chuckling, his hands behind his head, relaxing against the tree in the afternoon sun. "I'm just searching for a logical explanation." Fox said, looking at Galford, who tried to throw the ball into the ring. "You won't find one, my friend. You've been thinking about this ever since we got here. That's weeks ago. Give it a rest." "I wish I could. I wish I could just relax and enjoy this life here, but I just can't." Fox said, putting his hands in his pockets. "You're a man of facts and science, aren't you, Fox?" Kyo mentioned. Fox nodded. "Zelda has returned to normal and she and Link are constantly doing it, despite Ganondorf's actions. Terry is more friendly towards Mary than I could've ever imagined and you, Kyo, are more relaxed than I've ever seen you before. This looks like bloody paradise!" Kyo shrugged his shoulders. "Perhaps it is." Fox looked his friend thoroughly in the eyes. "You don't actually believe that crap of heaven and hell, do you? And then how come we are the only ones here? Like we are the only ones who have ever died." "I don't know. But how can you explain this then? At one moment we're fighting and the next moment we're blown up and end up here. In one piece. And everyone is happy and feeling great. Well, except for you." Fox chuckled. "That's just me." He paused for a moment and his eyes searched the side of the woods in front of him. They found Nakoruru, sitting alone at a tree. "I just worry about Nakoruru." Kyo looked in the direction Fox looked at. Nakoruru noticed the two friends were looking at her and quickly turned her head away. "She's a bit shy." Kyo commented. "A bit?" Fox said. "She rarely comes near us. She's alone most of the time. And she even rarely speaks with Galford." Kyo shrugged his shoulders a second time. "If she prefers that, then so be it. She's a nice girl. And solitude can be great at it's time." "Human wisdom, I suppose." Fox said. "Forget it, Fox. Humans are the dumbest creatures in the universe." Kyo said with a laugh. "You should know." Fox replied.
Later that afternoon, in the cabin, Link and Zelda were talking to each other. Softly, not trying to break the romantic mood they were in. "Do you like it here?" Zelda asked. "You mean inside you?" Link asked with a held grin. "Be serious, Link." Zelda said with a smile. Link lay on his backside and put his arm underneath his head. "Yes." he said as Zelda put her blonde head on his chest. She looked up at him. "I like it here, Zelda. I feel so at peace." "Me too." Zelda replied. "Do you think we are... where the Goddesses live?" Link asked Zelda carefully. Zelda didn't answer for some time. "I don't know." She started to lie on her stomach and lifted up her head to face Link. "But I do know that I don't want to leave. I want to be here with you forever." She moved over Link and some of her long hair fell on his face. She moved her arm up and brushed them away, caressing Link's cheek softly. "Don't you want to stay?" she asked. "Yes. But something feels wrong. We're not supposed to be here. Not yet. I've got a feeling we've still got... work to do. And we left so many people back on earth and..." "You don't know if we're dead. Perhaps we're just dreaming this." Link shook his head. "No. It feels too real." Suddenly, the door flew open and Terry entered the room. Zelda and Link quickly sat up straight and Zelda pulled the sheet over herself and Link. "Terry!" Link said angry. "Am I interupting?" Terry asked annoying. "Yes." Zelda said. "Playtime's over, lovebirds. Link, it's our turn to find food this time. You've been lying in your bed all day, try to make yourself useful for a change. And hurry up, I'm starting to get hungry." Terry said as he started to collect Link's clothes. He found Zelda's panties and picked it up with his thumb and index finger. He looked at Zelda and made a face towards her. "Couldn't find anything smaller?" he asked. Zelda started to blush. "Well, I..." "I don't want to know." Terry said, dropping the piece of clothing before tossing Link's clothes in his face. "I see you fully dressed outside the cabin in two minutes, fairy boy." he said before he left the room and closed the door. "What a jerk." Zelda said angry. "That's just Terry." Link said with a grin, though he wasn't pleased about Terry's latest stunt. He stood up from bed and started to dress himself. Zelda watched him doing it. "I just wished he would've given you ten minutes." she sighed. Link chuckled. "We'll have time afterwards, my hot-blooded princess." he said. "Hot-blooded?" Zelda said indignant. She grabbed one of the many pillows of the bed and threw it at Link, who was just in time to block the projectile with his arm. Zelda put her arms behind her back, revealing her naked upper- body because she released the sheet. "Just be careful, okay?" Link made a low purring sound and jumped up the bed, standing on his knees and hands as he kissed Zelda on her lips. "You're such a vixen..." he murmered. Zelda gave Link one of her tender smiles. "Fairyboy!?" Terry yelled from outside the cabin. "Shit." Link said. He got off the bed and put on his tunic. He grabbed his sword and gave Zelda one last smile before he exited their room.
"Why on earth did you bring your sword with you?" Terry asked as he and Link made their way through the vast forest. "Out of habit." Link answered. "Good God, we're in paradise and mister here brings with him a sword! What can possible happen here?" "You just never know." Link replied. "I just feel naked without my sword." "Have you been around Zelda too long or something? Tell me, is she THAT good that you spend the entire day with her in bed?" Terry asked with his usual tactlessness. "None of your business. But if you must know... Yes, she's great." Link said. "I figured." Terry sighed. "Hey, you're starting to get along with Mary neatly as well. Who knows where that may end?" Link said with a grin. "Well, at least not in bed doing rancid stuff." Terry said as he brushed away some leaves before he continued his walk. "It's not rancid, Terry. You've watched too much porn." "I don't watch that stuff, pointy-ears." "Then you don't know whether it is dirty or not." "It's rancid. You're actually IN Zelda, right? You go INSIDE someone ELSE's body. I think that's pretty rancid." "Have you actually paid ANY attention during biology-classes?" "I never went to school." "Oh." "At least... Not after my dad died..." "I'm sorry." "It's okay. It made me independent." "I never really knew my parents. They got killed by a band of brigands when I was young." "Do you think about them a lot?" Link shook his head. "Not really. I sometimes dream about them. That's all. And you?" "I can remember dad the most. I think of him a lot. Of what he taught me. How he... loved me as a son." Terry let out a slight chuckle. "Does it surprise you?" he asked. "What?" Link asked. "That I have actually cared for someone?" "No." Link said honestly. "You care for your brother. And you care for us." Terry looked up at Link. "Maybe." he said. He looked around the forest. "Or maybe this idyllic place makes me soft." Link smiled. "Terry, my man. I know you long enough to know that you've got a golden heart and that you really do care about your friends." Terry smiled for a moment, but then his face turned serious again. "Cut that shit out, you sound like a fag!" he said. Link laughed and gave Terry a pat against the flap of his cap. "Our Terry begins to turn into a wuss! I'm on to you!" he said laughing. "Say that again and I'll rip your guts out, fairy boy!" Terry yelled as he straightened his cap and started to chase Link, who figured it was healthier for him to run and did so. The two ran through the forest for a few minutes, until Link suddenly stopped. Terry nearly bounced against Link's back as Link stared at the two figures in the open spot in front of him. "You dumb-ass, pointy-eared son of a dungpile! Why do you..." Terry started, but he didn't got to finish his sentence, since he too saw the two people. "Greetings." Link said, knowing of nothing else to say. "Greetings, Chosen One." one figure said. It was a young man, who wore a strange garb with some similarities to Galford's ninja-outing. He wore a head-band which made his brown hair fall neatly over his forehead. He had a calm, low voice. Next to him stood a young woman. She wore a blue suit, also very ninja-ish, to give it a name, and had her brown-red hair in a dancing ponytail. Both the characters had a sword hanging in a sheath at their backs. "Chosen one!?" Terry yelled. "That's what my dad said in my dream! Who are you people?" "I am Hayabusa..." "Bless you." Terry commented. Link gave Terry a dig in his side. "...and this is Kasumi." the young man continued without paying much attention to Terry's comment. "Hey, have you been inside her?" Terry said before Link gave him another dig in his side. Terry gave Link a pat against the back of his head. Hard. "Would you stop that? I'm not touching YOU all day either, am I?" Link straightened his pointy cap. "Would you get some manners first? Instead of telling everyone that they're horny or gay, you should think a bit more. What if she's his sister?" "Well... You could even be Zelda's big brother... You're both blond..." "Okay! So that's low and disgusting!" "You both have blue eyes..." Terry said with a mean grin. "Be careful, Terry! Wouldn't want to mess up our 'great' friendship." "Now here you go again with those faggish comments of yours. I'm not interested in a trio." "Terry! Keep your Din-damn mouth shut!" "Ow, touchy... What would mister Sushi and his mistress think about that, huh?" "For Farore's sake, Terry. At least TRY to pretend you have manners!" Terry put a finger against Link's chest and grinned. "You are angry, aren't you?" he said. "Try furious." Link said. Terry chuckled as he walked to Hayabusa and sticked out his hand. "Well, mister HolyBabylon, I'm Terry." "It's Hayabusa... And I know you, Terry Bogard." the young man sighed as he shook Terry's hand. "Oh. And you are miss CatSuckMe, am I right?" Terry said, looking at Kasumi. "Kasumi." the young woman said. "Ah, yes. Of course. Why not Jack and Jane?" Terry asked. "Because we're Japanese, you stupid American!" Hayabusa said, agrivated by Terry's big mouth. "Hm. You're as touchy as my fairy friend here, HowAreYourBruises." "It's Hayabusa!" Kasumi suddenly said furiously. "Big mouth for such a little girl, CatchYouMe." Hayabusa suddenly grabbed Terry at his collar. "At least bring up some respect for her!" he said angry. Terry saw the anger in Hayabusa's piercing green eyes and knew that he had gone too far. But he had been in a bit of a jovial mood and the names sounded just ridicilous to his ears. "I'm sorry." he murmered. "To you too, fairy boy." he said. Link was stunned. He had never heard Terry making an apology before. And he really meant it. Hayabusa threw Terry down to the ground and turned away from him, still angry. Kasumi put a hand on his shoulder and said: "Please, Hayabusa-san. They are the only chance we all have at saving the world." Hayabusa slowly nodded. He looked at Kasumi. "Not just the world, my dear Kasumi. But EVERYTHING." "I apologise for my friend here. But could we please get some explanation about what is going on here? Why are we the 'Chosen Ones'? Where are we? What are we doing here? " Link said. Hayabusa turned to Link. "We will explain everything to you, Link."
Zelda felt incredibly comfortable, lying there naked in Link's warm embrace. She felt his skin against hers underneath the blankets of the soft bed. They kissed and started to make love. Again.
