Chapter two: Tears 'part one'
Miriko grabbed Links hand, "Now concentrate damnit, we're only going to try this once more." She snapped slightly irritated by Links slowness it was the easiest trick to learn.
Placing her hand over his she closed her eye and started to concentrate, "okay here goes nothing," slowly she removed her hand leaving in its place a small flame. "Now concentrate on the flame, make it yours, and do so quickly or it's going to burn you like last time. No Link your doing it wrong. No don't look at me close your eyes and concentrate on the flame."
Link closed his eyes and tried to concentrate; picturing the flame inside his head, but it was no good there was something that was distracting him. He wasn't sure what but he had a feeling it was to do with Miriko.
Link realised that his mind was wandering and tried to get back on course as quickly as he could. But it was too late, his hand began to burn, his eyes flew open and he yelped in pain.
Miriko without any thought grabbed his hand, "For crying out loud Link are you a man or a mouse, keep still!" Holding his hand as still as she could, she doused the flame and healed his slightly burnt hand wincing as her hand began to burn.
There were two types of healing powers, there was cure and there was angels blessing. Angels blessing was the stronger of the two but it had a side effect. Those who used Angels blessing felt the pain their patient felt, thus making it the harder of the two as it took a lot more endurance and concentration.
Completing her task Miriko glared at Link angrily, "Hero of time indeed, you couldn't even handle a little bit of pain let alone master a simple trick like that. It only took me two goes to do it and no one there had the power to heal either so I had to put up with a whole lot more pain then you. That was your tenth go and still you can't do it. I just wasted a whole lot of time with you when I could be searching for answers on Kaishi." She yelled furiously. "I'm sorry. I." Link whispered looking down shamefully.
Miriko looked at Link and her eyes softened maybe she was being to hard on him, it was her fault after all "No, it's not your fault. You felt it didn't you? You felt that I was upset and it was distracting you, therefore it was my fault. I don't know if you've notice but I don't like to admit when I am at fault, it kind of comes with the 'being a princess package'. But when I'm with you and I see those eyes over yours. I just seem to open up and."
Link looked up at Miriko in surprise, "Damnit kid, will you stop it. Stop looking at me with those eyes. Never.never before has someone ever made me feel. So vulnerable, why? Why do you? It's as if you can read my mind. I've seen a lot of things, met a lot of evil people, but you the first to make me feel this way."
Link continued to look at Miriko however this time with concern, he had been seeing Miriko for a week now and she had been teaching him many thing, how to fight with a sword, bow 'n' arrows and throwing knives; all about the world it's history and his; and today she had attempted to teach him a little magic. They talked a lot but she had always seemed slightly closed off from him never had she said anything like she had just then. Link gently placed a hand on her shoulder, "Miriko, are you alright?"
Miriko looked up at Link and smiled weakly, "Yeah, kiddo I'm okay, I'm just a little worried. A lot of towns and villages in my kingdom have been attacked and destroyed by a group of powerful demon. There's a whole lot of injured refugees and scared people running around so my home is a little hectic at the moment. But what gets me is that it's my entire fault and I can't do anything about it." Miriko slammed her fist hard on the ground wincing as the pain ran up her arm.
Miriko's smile suddenly brightened, "I'm sure it's going to be just fine my mum and dad will work it out. So don't worry okay Kiddo."
Link looked down at the ground as if upset and sighed; it was now Miriko's turn to looked down at him in concern, "ummm, Link, are you okay?" Suddenly Link looked up surprising Miriko, "Yes," He stated seriously. Miriko frowned, "What, What's wrong?" she asked worriedly, concerned even more by his unusually serious tone. "I.I...We." He stammered in his still serious tone but now he was blushing furiously, "We're, the same.we're the same age...so...I...I.would like.to...to know.if...know... would you.please." Link looked away his face as bright red as a beetroot, "Please.toallinmeido." He finished quickly making no sense at all.
"What!" Miriko asked pulling a face in confusion.
Link took a deep breath repeating the ending of his speech slowly so Miriko could understand, when he finished silence followed.
Then the air was suddenly filled with bright cheerful laughter. "HAHA, oh god.that is so funny, is that all you wanted to say. Oh God Link you make the biggest fuss over the smallest things." Miriko laugh herself into hysterics.
"It is not a simple thing.I...really." Link pouted watching Miriko roll around on the floor in tears.
"MIRIKO!" he yelled over her laughing trying to get her attention.
"Okay, okay" She sighed as she sat up wiping away the tears that where rolling down her cheeks. "Yes I will" she whispered leaning in closer to Link, "I'll stop calling you kiddo, kay," she chirped patting him on his head. Link jumped up away from her reach blushing once more, "And.and stop treating me like one too." He yelled, but this only made Miriko laugh more.
Miriko suddenly stopped laughing and frown when she felt something tugging at her body. "That's strange," She pondered. "It's much sooner then usual, oh well," She looked up and smiled at Link, "well looks like our time is up, see ya!" she chirped waving to him as she slowly disappeared.

Miriko awoke to find her mother Queen Sharna looking down at her, panic and fear dancing in her crystal blue eyes. "Miriko, get up now," she ordered her daughter sternly.
"What's wrong mama?" Miriko asked jumping out of bed. Sharna looked at her sadly, "I'm sorry dear but there is no time to explain, all I can say is we are in danger and you must leave and stay with Sabuka. There is no need for me to hide it from you but the is a great chance that we will ever see each other again." Sharna spoke quickly as she ran around the room grabbing some of her daughters belongs that she felt Miriko would need.
When she was done and satisfied she turned back to her sweet daughter stroking her cheek gently. "And if this is so, I want you to be good for Sabuka and to be brave. Don't forget that your father an I love you dearly and always will." Sharna hastily grabbed her daughters hand and pulled her out of her neat room and into the cold hallway, leading her to their room.
"Stay here," she told her daughter as she ran into her room. In no more then a minute she return, grabbing her daughters hand once more and dragged her down the hall.
They walked for what seemed like hours, making random turn here and there.
Finally they came to a stop, finding themselves at a dead end, Miriko looked up at her mother in confusion. However her mother didn't seem worried by the fact that they could go no farther. Instead she reached up for a lone beautiful painting of a waterfall, and moved it to the left. There was a loud rumble like thunder, that surrounded them as the wall to Miriko's right slowly opened up.
"Sharna turned to her daughter tears glistening in her eyes, "Now you be a good girl for Sabuka, do as she say's and take care of yourself. And don't tell anyone your Princess Miriko you understand it's for your own safety." Sharna grabbed her daughters hand and placed the families emblem and a pendent Miriko had never seen before in it. "Listen here, keep the family emblem hidden but with you at all time you never know when your going to need it. This pendent is very powerful you must protect it with your life, don't let it get in the wrong hands or the whole world is doomed."
Miriko looked down at the pendent in her hand, it was a perfect black round stone, which gave off a dark glow. Sharna let go of her daughter's hand when she noticed the glow. Was Miriko the one? If so then it was very important that her daughter got out of here alive.
"I must go now it help your farther. Just go though this tunnel Sabuka is at the end waiting for you." Sharna gave her daughter a hug, handing her the bag full of her belongings as she pushed her daughter toward the tunnel.
Sharna quickly returned the painting to it's original place and turned leaving before the tunnel close. She never noticed her daughter exiting the tunnel and following her silently in the unnatural shadows, that she easily gathered, to the battle ground.
. Well that's it for now sorry it took so long, there isn't any fighting in this one but in the next one there will be I promise..with a lot of blood and death.I was thinking of rising the rating. For the violence..but we'll see how we go first.
Well I'm off to write some more see ya soon.
