By: D-Chan
Rated: PG-13
Summary:
Link has been accused of Necromancing when someone who is dead comes back to life. Yet, Link is not to blame right? He didn't do it right? Besides! Necromancing means bringing the body and soul back, not just the body.

"I have to go Onen. Watch my sister. I will return. I am going to the desert temple." Leena said softly after she had drapped her silk sheet over Rana's dead body.
"You are going to beseech the gods aren't you?" Onen said picking up Ohne's sleep body.
"You got it in one." Leena said taking her sword from its place on the floor.
Leaning into Onen she whispered, "I'll return mother-sister-son."
He gasped almost dropping Ohne, "How did you know?"
Leena gave a coy sway with her hips; "It's all in how you walk Onen! People from the Royal Court can tell. I'm surprised Ohne hasn't yet."
He frowned slightly, "Don't tell her please . . . "
She nodded, "I wouldn't dream of it."

"Princess Zelda . . . I have to get back to the desert. I don't know who the assassin could be, but I must get back. I have a bad feeling . . . " Link admitted looking at the angelic Princess.
She smiled faintly, "Okay, but would you promise to return?"
Link nodded, "Yes, I will, but I must go!"
She held on his hands refusing to let go, "Could you stay just a little bit more? Please." She said with a hint of disparity in her eyes. "No! I have to go! Onen and the others are in danger I can feel it." He said pulling his hand free.
"Link! Please! Don't go, if you love me don't go!" She wined standing up from her chair.
"Princess Zelda, with all do respect, I am not in love with you as much as you believe me to be. I am just a fling in you long immortal life. Please don't make me choose between you and the others . . . no one will win." He said turning to leave.
"Link! Please don't go." She cried out following after him.
He turned to her hotly, "Princess, your father has just died. You should be in mourning and planning for your sister's coronation."
She let him slip through his fingers as he left the castle. "I have been planning Link! My sister is all set to become Queen. You were all that was going for me. Now I'm just a casted off Princess not worth a thing. Why can't you see how much I need you?"

"Rana! Rana!" Ohne cried out in her sleep. Onen watched her quietly wondering about home.
"Onen?" Ohne whispered faintly looking at him.
"Yes Duchess Rana?" He said touching her forehead to make sure she was all right.
"Onen . . . kiss me please." Ohne said sitting up quickly.
"No! Duchess please, no. I am just a guard." He said blushing.
She shook her head; "I don't care." She reached out for him pulling him out of his chair and onto the bed.
"Ohne! Please no Duchess!" He panted between kisses.
"I don't care what you are." She said pushing him back. She looked at him with dull eyes.
"No one ever thinks I can do it. No one ever thinks I am strong. They call me yellow-belly behind my when they think I don't hear. I am strong!" She glared.
"I can heal things. Don't tell Leena. It's a rare gift in my people and if they knew they would send me off to be a healer. I may be strong but death and seeing other people in pain is what I can't stand.
"When Leena died the first time I couldn't turn away . . . I had to take up her mantle. I had to sit in the same throne as her. Sleep in the same bed she was once in. Deal with the same man she loved.
"I am to marry the King of Hyrulea when I return. It's been secretly set up. Rana told me so. She told me so long before I came here. " She said falling silent.
"Why was she kept a secret if she was a Princess." Onen asked touching her hand softly.
"She was an accident. She is . . . was part fairy. The old King had been a close friend with a fairy man. The man would protect the Queen. She never betrayed the King. Yet, she did not know what happens when one is instilled with friend blood." Ohne said looking away.
"Legend has it anyone who comes in contact with even but a drop is either doomed to die . . . or be over come by the blood." Onen whispered.
Ohne nodded, "Yes, well, she was not kill. She was not over come either. Since she was a woman she was not kill it became a child in her womb. This all came about when the fairy man cut himself helding the Queen gather flowers for Link."
"Link?" Onen asked.
"Link in my world. The King." She sighed.
"Oh I understand. Well, Rana was part fairy? I thought you couldn't kill fairies." Onen mumbled.
"You can't . . . but Rana was only half." Ohne said tears coming to her eyes again.
"Oh, Duchess please don't cry." Ohne said his hands cupping her face. She smiled softly before leaning in to kiss him.
