"There you are! I've been looking for you!" the elf said as she
stopped in front of Kat.
Ryu's eyes widened and her jaw dropped. "For over a day?! How badly did you need to talk to me? Are you insane?" Ryu asked.
"I was ordered to find you by-" the elf said.
Ryu's eye twitched and she laughed nervously as she cut the red-haired elf off, "Ahaha. . . Shut up! I get it, Kai! I get it!" Ryu hopped back off Kat and walked over to the mounted Kai, an unnoticeable limp in her left leg, and quietly said, "This is the guy I'm supposed to kill! You-" she faltered when she saw Kai's face. "Uh, Ganondorf didn't tell you what I'm doing for him, did he. . . "
Kai shook her head, obviously disturbed and surprised at what Ryu had been saying. Ryu frowned, a troubled look on her face. *Nice job, Ganondorf. . . send in uninformed messengers! Blow the mission! * Ryu growled slightly as she thought this, also thinking about how Kai could have ruined the whole plan accidentally by letting something slip to Link. "Oh, well. Forget what I said. . . what did the master need me for?" Ryu asked, wincing at the word 'master'.
"Nothing, really. I was supposed to find out whether you had completed your task yet. I didn't realize it was you and the horse when you nearly ran me over before. . . what happened to the rest of the team? There were two others when you left. And you know Ganondorf isn't happy with you taking his best stallion, Ryu," Kai said, eying Kat as she spoke.
"Ah, well, Ganondorf can go to the Golden Land. And I have absolutely no idea where the rest of them are. . . I lost 'em before I reached even the middle of the forest," Ryu said, carelessly resting her arms behind her head. (A/N: The Golden Land is the dark world of Hyrule, like a parallel universe. In the game A Link to the Past, nobody has ever returned from the Golden Land. Except Link of course!)
"HELLO?! Are you two coming back to the castle? It's still raining, you know! I would like to go get dry, even if you two don't! you can talk at the castle," Link said irritably, feeling soaked and very left out.
"Hm? Oh, yeah. Let me get back on Kat," Ryu said. She walked over to the left side of Kat, and leaned forward to rest her head on his side. "Now, how am I going to pull this off?" she asked into his fur. She sighed in resignation and grasped a handful of mane in her right hand and gripped his back with her left. She bounced three times on her toes and pushed off hard from the ground. "One, two, three, HUP!" she said. They began walking three abreast, Ryu on the right, Kai in the middle, and Link on the far left.
"Ryu! Why are you riding so close to me? I could touch your foot on the other side!" Kai said, referring to the fact her pony was short and she could reach under Kat's belly and grab Ryu's right foot they were so close.
"Because she's not using her left leg, she's letting it hang, and pressing with her right," Link said, peering over Kai's pony. "Did you hurt it when you fell?"
"Ryu fell!" Kai laughed when she heard this. "You never fall off!"
Ryu shot Kai a death glare. "A one-time thing. And to Link, yes and no. I did hurt my leg when I fell, but I hurt it more when I pushed off the ground. I can't use it at the moment. Now let's just drop it till we get to the castle," Ryu said in a tired voice.
****
A/N: end of chapter! okay, so Kai's a little disillusioned about Gannondorf and just about everyone connected with him. It's not really her fault. . . she's pretty young. I'm sorry about mentioning her in the author's notes last chapter, I thought this one was up already. Sorry. _. You know how it is sometimes.
If you listened to the thing about how Ryu's guard is failing last chapter, that's why she allowed all this stuff to happen to her. If her mind was as sharp as it should have been she could've avoided all these slip-ups.
I know my chapters are kind of short, but that's just how I write. I'm kind of losing my thread here. . . maybe introducing Je (full name: Jenalle) will freshen the story.
Er, I may switch Ryu's name to something else soon. I'm tired of the Japanese names in Hyrule. Kai's name also. And if I go with my first choice for Ryu, it will be Sarie. No, it's not a rip-off of Saria, it happens to be my real name in Quenya Elvish. (LotR) I need a transition point, a reason to change the names. If any of you brilliant people have any ideas, they are welcome. And Je's name is not final yet! R&R! Ja!
