You like me, you really like me! Ok, since I just checked my email and found like three reviews I'm going to spend the time I'm playing hooky from school to write chapter three! Results are in, I have 1 for Zelda, and the other undecided. soooooooo I'm going to keep the poll going on a little longer ^. ~ I didn't know Sheik was Zelda o.O like I said before I'm still trying to beat Twinrova. Welllllllll Sheik is just going to have to be his own person in this story cuz. I said so! Since you guys have made it pretty obvious you don't want my OC paired with Link it will not happen. Sorry for the spacing last chapter, I was using WordPad on my aunts computer, it didn't work to well. well any way I fixed it on my MUCH better computer! ON WITH THE FIC!

Chapter 3: Enter Ash!

The ride to Lon Lon Ranch to drop Malon off was pretty uneventful. What they saw when they got there was QUITE interesting though.

Sheik was sitting atop a pure white stallion. Of course Link knew the stallion's name was Tenshi (Japanese for Angel). Beside him sat a girl with shoulder length chestnut hair which was pulled back into a Horse Tail (got a problem with it?!). She had dark brown eyes, almost black. She was riding a pure black horse, later Link would find the horse's name to be Shinigami (Japanese for 'Death God').

"Hello Link, This is my. friend, Ash. Why are you not with the Gerudos?" Sheik asked.

"This lot decided it would be funny to follow me, I'm taking the Kokiris, Sages, and Princess Zelda," He practically spat the name out. Isn't he just soooo nice! "Back to Hyrule castle, Malon is going to stay here at the ranch." He said.

"Ash and I will meet you at Lake Hylia then?" Sheik said.

"Yes," Link replied, watching as the two galloped off. Malon departed into the Lon Lon Ranch, and Link urged Epona into a canter. He whispered encouraging thoughts in her ear. By the time they got to the castle it was dusk. The Kokiris, Sages, and Zelda ran into the castle not wanting to get caught outside all night.

Link took off, not towards Lon Lon Ranch, Lake Hylia, or the Gerudo fortress. He was going to take the night that all the kokiris weren't in the forest and go there. Sheik and his friend would have to wait.

Navi needed to see the deku tree sprout. She was slowly deteriorating becoming more and more depressed. Epona refused to go into the forest, so she had to wait outside. Link ran through the village, Navi cheering more and more with each step. Then they were at the deku tree sprout.

"Link, Navi, I know of the trouble the kokiris have been giving ye. I have made a song for ye to play on ye Ocarina of Time. Here it is. C^ C^

Play this song and you may return to me, unharmed. Now, ye must leave for the Kokiris come back any minute now," the deku sprout said.

Link thanked the deku tree and played the Serenade of Water, transporting himself to lake Hylia.

Sheik and his friend were standing there right beside the altar gate.

"Link, this is my friend, Ash," Sheik said.

"Hello, Link, I have heard much about you," Ash said she seemed to be starting... right. through. him...

Everything went Black.

Okies, I started this chapter then had to leave it half way through, during that time I managed to beat Twinrova and destroy the six gates.
