I must say…those are probably my favorite =D ;), not to say that you guys should all threatening me with death but…*Grin* I'm sure you all know what I mean. But anyway…ya…L I haven't had much inspiration..you guys haven't been pushing me and making me feel welcome! *Fountain of tears* Anyway, since I haven't had much inspiration…don't blame me if this chapter is crummy LOL

            "Listen. I don't want you to feel this way." Marth said, preparing himself for battle, but rather reluctantly.

            "You're gay." Link said, straightforwardly. He was dead serious. He thought Marth was gay.

            "Gay?" Marth asked, not quite sure what Link was playing at.

            "That thing you said just then. You sounded gay." Link said, not drawing his sword.

            "I can assure you. I'm not gay…" Marth said, running his hand through his hair a little embarrassedly. A few of the other creatures were staring at them.

            "See? You just ran your hand through your hair…" Link said, trying to sound as bully-ish as possible.

            "LINK ISH AWAISH RUNNING HISH HAND THROUGH HISH HAIR!!!!" Marth heard Kirby shout from the side stand, then burst out laughing as Kirby added, "AND LINK ISH SIGHING LIKE A GIRL TOO!"

            "SHUT UP FLUFF BALL!" Link bellowed at him, and he shut up. "My point is, you sound and look gay." Link said, not looking or feeling so tough now, but feeling rather stupid having to resort down to name-calling.

            "It seems others think you look and sound gay, too. Apparently you have no room to speak." Marth said, chuckling easily.

            "They're just taking sides!" Link said, feeling rather sheepish, and, without knowing it, he ran his hand through his hair.

            Marth could tell that Peach was stifling giggles from the look on her face, but Zelda just looked stern and stubborn.

            "Listen…we're here to fight, so let's fight." Marth said, now feeling kind of stupid since now he was trying to start the fight, where in the beginning, he had been trying to prevent it.

            Link grinned, and Marth could sense a hint of Triumph over him, be he didn't know why. "So be it."

            Marth got into an attack stance, waiting for the bell to sound, and as soon as it did, he ran towards Link, who didn't even have his sword up yet, but found a sharp pain pierce his thigh. The same one he'd hint Link in. He looked down…Link had had an arrow out in his right hand that Marth hadn't spotted.

            "You were being rather reckless." Link said, a mock compassionate look came over his face. Link turned the arrow slowly, making the arrowhead form a circle deep inside Marth's leg. Suddenly, he yanked the arrow from Marth's leg, making Marth yelp and stumble backward, the arrowhead pulling much skin from his leg as it came out.

            Marth clutched where the arrowhead had been, closing his eyes in deep pain. "Ugh…" He gasped as a sudden surge of pain met his stomach, and got blown across the wire frame stage, and into one of the floating platforms, feeling his spine bruise as his back hit the platform at a great force.

            "Remember those spots?" Link asked, advancing slowly, his sword swinging eerily beside his leg as he took each step.

            Marth tried to lift himself, but slumped on the ground. He looked at his stomach…Link had made a horizontal slash across his stomach just like Marth had done to him.

            "You're pathetic. I realized that you're always so happy, that if you got mad, what would happen then? A little taunting seemed to do the trick. You were so fired up you weren't as keen in sense as usual…one hit and that's all it took. One hit…" Link said slowly. There was no noise in the arena. The only sound anyone could hear was the slow tip-tap…..tip-tap……of Link's boots making their way towards Marth.

            "You…You did well…" Marth said, cringing in pain with each word. Each gasp of breath was painful…searing his lungs.

            "DON'T TREAT ME LIKE YOUR STUDENT!!!" Link said, and landed a hard kick to Marth's already-injured stomach. "I'M BETTER THAN THAT!" He screamed at Marth.

            "I know that…" Marth said, compassion filtering through the pain in his voice.

            Link was taken aback. How could Marth say that? How could he just…Say that? Link couldn't understand. Link had been so sure Marth would either stay silent or shout back…how could he be…so nice? Link hated to think of it that way, but there was no other way to say it.

            "I knew you were better than that…you have great potential…you just didn't use it…" Marth said slowly, blood dripping from his lips from each word.

            Link was wide-eyed and surprised. He hesitated, "Tch…what would you know?!" He asked angrily.

            "From our very first fight…" Marth arched his back and got onto his hands and knees. "From the very first slash…" Marth stood on one knee, then used his other leg to lift himself to his legs, and wavered for a second, swaying back and forth. "You showed potential like I've never seen before. You were so angry with me after I dodged your punches, that you became like me after you taunted me tonight…you lost your keen senses…you got angry…and since that day, you've been angry with me…and that's why you've never been able to hit me with your sword till now. It's no wonder you were unbeatable before…you may not be able to fight with your fists, but you've got a heck of a lot you could do with your sword…"
