Usagi woke up next to Link.
That night they had slept out side, watching the sunset.
Usagi yawned, stretched and looked around her.
The sun was just rising, and the day was about to begin.
She turned to Link.
He was sleeping with his hands behind his head.
Usagi smiled inwardly, and then stood herself up.
'Excuse me, miss?'
Usagi spun around in surprise.
The source of the voice was an elf-boy, not much older then she. He had messy black hair, and he was taller then Usagi.
'Aiyee! You frightened me…' Usagi whispered breathlessly.
The boy nodded with a smirk. 'Well, sorry about that,' he replied without much sympathy.
'You remind me… Of somebody…' Usagi blinked.
'I am Mamarou,' he replied quickly.
'Mamarou… Doesn't ring a bell,' she responded, placing her hand on her cheek.
He smirked. 'Didn't think so.'
'What?' Usagi frowned.
'It's nothing,' he said smugly.
'I see… I am Usagi, song elf…' she stuck out a hand.
'It is a pleasure,' he replied, kissing it softly.
Usagi shot back her hand swiftly, a faint tinge of red on her cheeks.
He only chuckled at her actions. 'Maybe I'll see you around, Usagi…' He turned and left.
'That didn't feel right…' she whispered, examining the back of her hand almost in fear.
She jumped slightly as a yawn arouse from Link.
'Aiyee! Good morning, Link!' she laughed as he groaned and bolted upright.
'Where?' he mumbled.
'I believe you didn't get enough sleep last night…' Usagi announced.
'I was looking at the stars,' he half whined, flopping backwards.
'Stars? You could have told me! I love the stars!' she whimpered sadly.
Link looked up and her. 'Well you were asleep. How was I to wake you?'
'Shake me or something… I don't know! Roll me down the hill if that's what it takes!' she cried.
'But you looked peaceful just as you were,' Link replied softly.
'Aiyee… I am not a peaceful sleeper, Link…'
'Well you were last night,' he smiled, putting his hands behind his head.
'That's a new one on me… Believe it or not…' she shook herself, 'anyways, what are we to do next?'
'Sleep,' he muttered, closing his eyes.
'I stole your hat last night, Link!' she giggled, waving the green cap right in front of his face.
'What!' he shot up, his eyes darting towards the hat. 'Hey!'
'If you want it…' she smirked, 'Come and… Get it!' she jumped backwards and dashed off.
'No!' he ran off after her.
Usagi surprised Link.
She was actually very swift and graceful when she ran.
It was almost as though she were flying.
He tried many ways on getting his precious hat back.
'I always have bad hair days,' he complained.
'I think it looks cute!' she would giggle back.
'Well… I have head lice, you see,' he said.
'You what?' Usagi backed up, keeping the hat away from herself.
'Lice… Nasty little things, those are,' he responded.
She fell down backwards. 'The hero of Hyrule has HEAD LICE?!'
'Why do you think I never take it off?' he piped up.
'Well… I didn't think… Ew…' she threw the hat back at him.
He put it on with a grin. 'Gotcha,' he laughed.
'WHAT? YOU DON'T HAVE LICE?!' she screeched.
Link nodded with a sly smirk.
'I hate you!' she giggled as she said this. 'At least I know you don't have head lice…'
'True.' Link had gotten his hat back.
Usagi hummed to herself as they approached Rune Lake's shore.
She dipped one of her small feet in and instantly shot it back.
'Link… The water is SO freezing!' she pouted.
'Remember: I COULD have had head lice… Be thankful the water isn't full of little creatures,' Link replied. He now used the whole 'lice' incident against her.
'I hate you,' she smiled and dove into the water.
Link had already equipped his blue tunic.
'I hate you, too,' he laughed at his comment and walked in after her.
Usagi was waiting eagerly at the very bottom.
Link hauled on his iron boots and immediately sunk.
She smiled when he had reached the Lake floor and grabbed his hand.
Link didn't get it.
'Over here,' he jumped as the sage's voice rang through his mind.
She smiled back at him as she waded him towards a giant gate.
She released his hand.
Usagi raised her arms into the sky and seemed to be chanting.
The gates opened right away, allowing them to pass.
Usagi snatched his hand again.
'Welcome to Soul Fountain, lair of the soul sage…' his mind told him. 'We must go in…' her free hand pointed to the gates.'
He nodded quickly and she released his hand.
Thus, the two made their way inside Soul Fountain.
Within the gates was amazing.
The temple itself was pearly white.
It was as though Link was in heaven.
The only problem was very chilling.
The entrance was tinted black.
It looked as though charcoal was smeared all over.
Hints of black could be spotted everywhere.
Usagi backed up in horror.
Link grabbed her hand, stopping her from falling over.
'The darkness here is over-whelming. The Soul Sage… She is suffering. Inside, I fear, she is losing hope… Her very soul has been stolen… And she mourns… Evil is taking over…' Usagi's eyes were deeply saddened.
Link tried to speak, yet only accomplished a mouth full of water.
Usagi blinked, and then laughed.
'The Temple shall be dryer,' she managed to choke out.
Link scowled, trying to spit out the water.
Inside was indeed dry.
Link sputtered out some remaining water.
Usagi giggled under her hand.
'At least it wasn't lice,' she noted.
'I hate you,' he spluttered.
Usagi only glared at him.
'Hopefully I won't faint when we reach the boss,' she whispered.
'Hopefully it isn't a giant flea,' Link chuckled.
'I hate you,' she gagged.
When they had finished wandering around the lonely temple, they had collected many things.
A map, compass, boss key, and Link had earned himself 'The soul song,' as Usagi had entitled it.
The song was used to fully rid himself of any evil, pain or hurt.
Usagi had clasped his hands against hers when he had received it.
'Such an honor it is to receive this song… This means the Soul Sage can trust you…' she whispered.
Link nodded.
The song itself was very mellow and depressing, yet Link enjoyed the sensational feeling he felt every time it was played.
And at last, Usagi had yet again snatched it from him, a clear crystal.
Soul's soul.
'A little confusing, I know,' she laughed.
'It could be worse,' Link started.
'Don't even say it,' Usagi snapped before he could utter 'lice.'
The boss room didn't reek as the first one had.
Usagi didn't faint.
She clutched the crystal close to herself.
Link peered around.
The room was musty, and a thick haze surrounded the two.
Usagi staggered a little, her eyes fluttering in drowsiness.
Link had to grab her arm to keep her from collapsing.
'You promised yourself you would stay awake, and I'm making sure you will,' he explained as she had looked at him in confusion.
That was her cue to blush lightly.
A shrill cry filled the room.
Link pulled Usagi close to him.
A figure stepped out of the shadows.
Link recognized it as… 'GANON?!'
Usagi blinked.
'What? That's a giant flea!' she cried.
'Ganon?'
'No, flea,' she argued.
The creature gave a faint cackle.
'I know which demon this is…' Usagi scowled. 'Illumion… Casts a mere mirage before our eyes… It will turn into something we're afraid of or something we desire with all our heart…' she shuddered.
'Illumion…' Link repeated, grasping his sword tighter.
'You cannot battle with me in such a condition… Let me fall… Be brave…' she pushed away, and slumped to the ground motionless.
Link gazed at the fallen sage sadly.
'Foolish sage…' Link ripped around to find 'Illumion' standing before him.
The beasts' voice croaked icily and echoed through the room.
Link was prepared to fight.
For peace, for Zelda, for Usagi.
Well? Sorry I had to end RIGHT there. I need to figure out how Link is to drive away that bastard… Well, votes are in, and it looks as though Usagi gets the guy. Surprise, surprise. Oh, and that Lice thing? Sorry, I was really hyper at the time… Got any ideas on just how the monster shall be destroyed? Email me OR review! Arigettou! Ja!
That night they had slept out side, watching the sunset.
Usagi yawned, stretched and looked around her.
The sun was just rising, and the day was about to begin.
