*Dedication* Whoever the person was that made up fanfiction. Actually, I'm

I'm slow on these chapters, but at least I won't forget it for two months
or so again. Thanks for always being there.
Disclaimer: I do not own SSBM or any of the characters. Any of the characters, if by resembling anyone, is just a coinsidence.
*Note from Author*: Hopefully this chapter is just as good as the last one. I was quite impressed with it when I read it through again, I'm not trying to be selfish or anything, but it's rare that I ever make a chapter that I'm happy with. clears throat I have this idea, but I won't tell you...because....I'm the author! I can't do that! Goes against my little code, you know? Heh, enjoy! (^-^)

The chain sparked with electricity every now and then, running down the metal snake, constricting Samus's throat. The sky went a dull gray, covering up the sun. Light rain started to fall, gliding down the female body that lay limp and motionless. Sheik stood up and wavered, deciding whether to run over and help, or keep her distance. The morning was turning into a rainy afternoon, a very silent one.
Sheik: Samus? she whispered to herself, the name rolling off her tongue and onto her lips like a stone. She felt this strange feeling fluttering within her, but she couldn't quite recognize what it was. She stepped forward, dust flowing in a swirl from beneath her foot. Nothing stirred except for Sheik's breath.
Water dripped down her face, and she licked her lip, the taste of sweat and water mixed. The cut on her eyebrow trickled lightly down her face, and her white eyes glanced anxiously at the unmoving body. Breathing deep, she cautiously walked towards Samus.
Sheik reached for the chain about Samus's neck, stopping to stare at her. Her green hair was strewn about, and her eyes were closed. She looked as if she were just asleep. A puddle of deep red blood was forming and diluting underneath the blaster, mixing with the water. Sheik took a deep breath, the strange feeling still in her. She grabbed the chain and carefully pulled it away from Samus's neck. No response came from her, as Sheik removed the chain. Samus's head was lifted off the ground from the release, but flopped back down.
Sheik: [ She's just knocked out, that's all, she's not dead, she can't be...it's...it's too easy.] she tried to reassure herself. Slowly backing up, she replaced the chain back onto the side of her hip, making it look just like an ordinary chain. She stepped into a small hole, slipping in the mud and falling backwards on her butt lightly. She continued to stare at Samus, the rain beginning to get heavier. Samus? she asked again. It seemed as if she were actually asking herself.
The body stirred a moment, and the blaster lifted up with the arm, and was aimed at Sheik.
Sheik: the flurry feeling she felt earlier suddenly changed into a gut tightening fear, then relief, then curiosity. Samus, don't, please don't.
Samus: Sheik. the woman whispered so lightly, Sheik almost didn't hear her through the soft patting of the rain. Help me.
Sheik: Samus. she rushed over to her friend, the chain jingling. She stopped in front of Samus's face, waiting for her to open her eyes. Samus's blaster now lay on her hip, her whole body seemed weak.
Samus: she opened her eyes again, staring at Sheik, making Sheik's stomach flutter again with that feeling. A slight plead was heard in her words as she spoke Sheik, help me. the blood from the wound on her arm dripped down Samus's leg, where part of her pants were missing.
Sheik: she felt like Samus was about to cry as she looked up at her with her green eyes. They were sharp, but the anger that she had seen burning through them earlier was gone, and now, she wasn't sure whether to believe her or not. Samus, I...I can't. she stuttered to her, not knowing what to do.
Samus: she blinked slowly, like she was tired, then looked up at Sheik again Please...her eyes closed, and Shiek didn't know whether she had died, or had fainted.
Sheik: Samus!? she stepped forward, forgetting her fear. She kneeled down next to Samus, then was reassured as she watched Samus's chest rise and fall with each breath. She scooped her arms underneath Samus's body, feeling that she was lighter than she had expected. Samus's lied on her back, her blaster arm limp towards the ground, and her other lie on her chest. Sheik felt the air rushing in and out of Samus with each breath, and she felt funny again. Adjusting her to get her long hair from being wrapped on her arm, Sheik began to walk toward the mansion, thinking of what may be the reaction from the other Smashers.
The rain came down hard then, just as Sheik stood before the mansion door. The clouds kept their dull gray, but the rain was thick, and it made Samus's body hard to hold without dropping her.
Sheik: Don't worry, we're here. she whispered to the sleeping Samus in her arms. Kicking open the door, she walked into the warm hallway, and began towards the kitchen door, the heavy slam of the mansion doors echoing through the fire crackling hallway. Upon entering the empty kitchen, she gently lay Samus's body on one of the heavy redwood tables, wondering if she could trust Samus to be alone while she searched for the others. Her puzzlement was solved, when the Roy/Marth hallway door opened a crack, and Link came sliding through.
Link: looking down, he didn't notice the two women until he had closed the door and began to walk. He stopped in mid stride, to turn to Sheik, then the body behind her. What the fuck Sheik!? You brought her in here!? What were you thinking? he rushed to Samus's side, looking at her like she were some venomous snake.
Sheik: I....I couldn't leave her out there. she turned, to Samus, then looked at Link, who looked back at her with this strange look. His face was a mix between angry, and something else that Sheik couldn't understand.
Link: he studied Sheik's face hard, noticing a small sadness on her face. He looked at her like he knew something she didn't, something that Sheik couldn't notice for herself. And why not?
Sheik: A breathless sigh came from her lips, and she looked back down to Samus. I don't know, I just couldn't..She's all I have.
Link: Mhmm. he continued to stare at her with the same look
Sheik: Listen, if you don't want to help me like you said you would, I'll just take her and go!
Link: Go where Sheik!? Where are you going to take her!? She tried to kill you and your going to tell me your going to save her!?
Sheik: she turned to Link angrily, some noticable tears showing from the corners of her eyes at she yelled back at him. Yes! Yes I am! You don't get it! She's all I have, she's the only thing that can help me! And if you don't want to help I'll just take her and leave, I will save her!
Link: his face was still the same, and he stared at Shiek.
Sheik: What? What is it you don't understand!? Look at her! she pointed at Samus, who's bleeding had become worse as it dripped onto the floor, reflecting the orange flames from the giant plate.
Link: I understand everything Sheik. he stepped up to her looking at her close.
Sheik: Then what is it? What is with you? What do you know that I don't!?she looked down at him angrily and sad for Samus at the same time.
Link: You love her.
Sheik: she stepped back in shock at Link What!? Are you crazy! I love Panther, what are you talking about? she stared at Samus's body on the table wide-eyed, a strange feeling in her.
Link: You know you do! I could see it when you brought her in here! You love her! You just don't know it.
Sheik: Your crazy! You, you stupid bastard! she stuttered back at him. She marched anrgily to Samus's body and lifted her up, stomping off into the Marth/Roy hallway.
Link: his voice made it to Sheik before the heavy door closed. Your the only one that can't see it, Sheik!then the heavy door cut them off
Sheik: marching angrily down the hallway, she looked back down at Samus, then back up, tears dripping down her face. [ Why? Why am I crying? I know it isn't true. I love Panther. I know I do.] she kicked the other door open and went into the third door on the right. Carefully she placed Samus's body on the bed, then slammed her door shut. She pushed the button in the wall, and the flames sprang up again, scaring her and making her sadder. She slumped against the far wall from Samus, and cried, tears flowing hot down her cheeks. She could taste the salt as her gasped open her mouth for breath, crying hard. [ Why am I crying!] she practically screamed at herself [ It's not true. It can't be! I know it isn't!]
Sheik looked back at Samus's body on her bed, then noticed the picture beside the bed. Sheik and Samus were laughing together, smiling.
*^X^*^X^*^X^*^X^*^X^*^X^*^X^*^X^*^X^*^X^*^X^*^X^*^X^*^X^*^X^*^X^* Can this be true!? Does Sheik really love Samus? Then what of Panther? What does all this mean!? Is Link right, is Sheik the only one who can't see it?
