Note: I don't own the Zelda characters, yada yada.
Bleh, I don't like this chapter so much. But oh well, I'm a perfectionist,
what can I say? =P Enjoy!

Nagarishi awoke to lips nibbling at her ear. She slowly cracked open her eyes and smiled and Link's boyishly charming face. She grabbed her pillow and put it over his head, laughing. He pulled it off and smiled up at her, for she was now sitting up. She held the sheets up to cover her breasts. Link thought for a moment that that really didn't matter; he'd seen them before.
"I used to have a cat that would do that." She stated, mindlessly playing with his bangs.
"Put pillows on your head?" Link replied. They shared a laugh before he asked, "What was its name?"
"Kylin. He was black and had a patch of white on his chest. His eyes were a very pretty green. As bright a yours."
Link smiled. "I've never had a pet. I just had Epona, but I never considered her a pet. She was more a companion to me.... Ran as she pleased." He grabbed her hand and held it a while.
Nagarishi nodded. "I suppose so." She yawned. "Wonder what time it is...."
Link sat up a little and looked out the big window on the other side of the room. The sun wasn't very far up in the sky. "Mid-morning. We didn't sleep in too late." He threw the sheets off of him and grabbed his clothes. "Hmm.... wonder if I can sneak this over to my room and change...."
Nagarishi giggled. "Everyone should be at breakfast by now, so you can sneak over. I'll be waiting here."
Link nodded and she watched him crack the door open slightly before tiptoeing out to the next room over. Meanwhile, she found something casual, but sensual, to wear. She brushed her hair sitting in front of her vanity. When she was satisfied with how she had tied her bangs up behind her head and let the rest hang down, she heard Link at the door.
"Hey. Ready to go to breakfast now?"
"Sure. Lead the way." He replied.
She noticed he was wearing his red tunic and cap, which looked stunning on him.
When they entered the room, everyone smiled or stared at them. The room was completely silent. Nervously, they sat down in the silence and looked questioningly around.
Then Nagarishi's mother spoke up. "Ah, they've finally gotten up. Did you two sleep well last night?"
Link blushed profusely, knowing what her mother meant. Nagarishi looked slightly annoyed at her mother as a large sweatdrop slid down her head. "What are you talking about, mother?"
Everyone giggled or laughed. "Oh, come now. No need to be shy. We all know about your escapade last night." Her mother smiled almost sadistically.
"Mom!" Nagarishi cried out, angry her mother would say something like that to all these people. "I don't care what you say, what happens between us is none of your business!" She was standing, hand pounding on the table.
Link wasn't sure what to say. He managed to quietly state, "Actually, nothing happened last night."
Nagarishi put a hand on his arm. She meant for him to let her handle it. "Yes, he's quite right. But you wouldn't care. You'd probably tell them all, in detail, HOW we did it."
"My goodness, it was a harmless joke. Don't be so angry." She said in defense.
"A joke?" There was a short silence. "A joke?! The last time you played one of these little 'jokes,' I ran away!" She paused to let that sink in. "You didn't see me for three months. Then when I came back, there wasn't any 'I missed you' or 'we were worried sick,' it was... it...." She stopped and choked back tears. "I..." she began very quietly but turned and ran out of the room.
Link looked back at her mother, slightly angry, and followed her out.
The whole room glared at her, realizing their rudeness and how stupid they had been to follow along with her "joke."
"Good one, mom." Someone commented.
"Nagarishi, please, stop crying.... What's wrong? Please, tell me." Link pleaded with a sobbing girl sitting on the edge of the dock.
She looked over at him with such pain in her eyes, Link wanted to share her tears. She had stopped sobbing enough to tell him. "Do you remember.... when I said they wanted me to hurt.... to hurt Kafei?" Link nodded and she proceeded. "I couldn't do it... I... I loved him, Link! He was the only one that cared back then... I couldn't do it...." She pulled up the back of her shirt and turned her back towards him. Right in the center of her back were scars, crossed over her spine in the middle. They were large and hadn't healed very well. "You never saw these, did you? You don't until you get up close, I guess." She sniffled.
Link looked into her face, shocked. "They did that? Why?" He was angry now.
"I never knew. They just told me to do it... and I couldn't. I wasn't obeying them, so they punished me.... This is how my own damn mother welcomed me back!!!"
Link held her close and let her cry on his shoulder. It was no wonder she didn't want to go back. There was nothing here for her but humiliation and sorrow.
"Let's leave. You don't need to be here. We'll go pack your bags and leave."
Nagarishi looked up at him a moment, then nodded. No words were said as they packed bags, left a note and a clean room. Taking a boat back, they could carry all items and were off before anyone said anything.
"Let's go buy something for you in Clock Town. I've got too much money to carry right now." Link suggested as they rode Epona to the front gate.
Silently, they strode into town, found a shop, and had selected a few items when Nagarishi heard a familiar voice. She whirled around and saw red eyes and familiar cut of purple hair with a blue sheen. She was speechless as he walked over to her and said "Well, hello! I haven't seen you in quite some time, Nagarishi, how are you doing?"
Link turned around and said hello for her. Kafei smiled brightly at him. "Link! My goodness, I haven't seen you in awhile either! How are you both?" Kafei's face was beaming to see both his good friends together like this.
Nagarishi smiled shyly. "We're doing great. We came back to visit family and friends and everybody. Well, at least I am. I don't know about Link, I think he just came along for the ride." She giggled, noticing how social she was being with him even after everything that happened.
"Wow, that's great! You guys should come over for a while. Anju and the kids are home, I think." He offered.
Link looked over at Nagarishi. She looked over at him. "Sure." "Yeah." They said simultaneously.
"Great! Let me just get what I need and we'll get over there." He motioned for them to stay and didn't take long with his purchase. Link squeezed her hand reassuringly during this. She glanced up at him before they left with Kafei.
As they walked casually along, Kafei commented, "Ah, good to see we've both grown up, huh Link?" He laughed and Link did too. Nagarishi asked what they meant.
"A long time ago I helped Kafei get his wedding mask back after he had been turned back into a little kid. He's normal as you can see now, but it was funny to see a man who was about to get married in a child's body."
"Yes, you looked older than me, Link." He smiled back at them as he opened the door.
Anju was quickly at the door, taking the packages from Kafei and welcoming guests inside. As Link and Nagarishi stepped in, they noticed two children playing on the floor.
The children both stood up and came over to greet the guests. "This is my eldest, Kaira, and the youngest, Ryo." Kafei told them.
He addressed his children, "Kids, this is Link and Nagarishi, old friends of mine."
"Hello." They said in unison. Kaira wasn't any older than four, and Ryo looked about two. But they both knew their manners and spoke very well. Kafei chuckled proudly and patted his children's heads. "Very good."
Nagarishi looked over at the children a little sadly. Link knew what she was thinking. These sweet things could have been her children. He put an arm around her shoulders as they walked through the house.
"Would you like anything to drink?" Anju asked, smiling sweetly.
"I'm fine, thank you." Nagarishi replied.
"I'll have some tea if you have some, please." Link answered.
Kafei told them to sit on the couch. They had some catching up to do.
"Hmm." He started as he sat down. "I don't think you two knew each other back when.... How did you guys meet?"
"Over in Hyrule. I had traveled a long way to... um... make a sword, and met Link while I was there. He decided that traveling over here across the desert was too dangerous for myself, so I was escorted on his horse here to Termina." Nagarishi explained, a little nervous at first, then steadying her voice to sound true. Well, part of it was.
"I see..." He smiled and chuckled a bit. "And when did you fall in love?" Kafei had been noticing how they looked at each other ever since he first saw them.
Link smiled and shook his head. "Somewhere along the way." He answered quietly.
Anju came in then with cookies and Link's tea. She set her goodies down and placed the cup in front of Link. She pecked Kafei on the cheek before sitting down and snuggling up next to him. "What are you guys talking about?"
"We were just discussing how we met and how we fell in love." He told her sweetly.
"Oh, really? I figured these two had something for each other." She giggled.
Nagarishi looked down in her lap and blushed, then up at Link. He just smiled at them, unaware of her observation. "Anyways," Link started as he picked up his cup and held it, "we haven't known each other for that long. But in that short time, I knew something was happening between us." He took a sip. "Love is so funny."
Nagarishi looked at him in slight surprise. She turned to look away and stared at the corner of the table. Love is funny she thought. And also so cruel.... She found herself thinking of all the times Kafei had failed her and she started to close her eyes to stop the tears. Gathering herself for a moment, she excused herself and, when out of sight, nearly ran to the bathroom. She shut the door as quickly and quietly as she could and sat on the floor crying, legs brought up close to her body and head resting on her knees. She wet her hands with tears, so quietly, so painfully. Only a few muffled sniffles escaped.
Link sighed and put his cup down.
"Yes, it is." Kafei commented, smiling at Anju.
She started getting up and told them she had to prepare lunch and wondered if they were staying for it.
"I'm not sure. If Nagarishi is staying, I'm sure I will." Link replied, smiling.
She nodded and left the two men alone.
Kafei's brow creased in thought. "Where'd she go, anyways?"
"Nagarishi? I think she went to the restroom. She'll be back in a bit." Link answered.
Kafei shook his head, still pensive. "No, something seemed the matter...."
Link knew what she left for. She couldn't stand being around Kafei after all she'd felt for him. He decided he should tell him the truth.
"Kafei..." He locked gazes with him and began to speak firmly, but quietly. "She was in love with you, you know."
"What? She... You can't be serious." He closed his eyes in realization of this fact and all that it must have done to her over the years, the final straw being that he married Anju. He opened them, saddened. "I didn't realize it.... I didn't even know.... We were just friends, just... kids...." He stated. "I never knew she felt that way and then.... I never took into consideration her feelings...."
"I didn't bother to tell you, either, Kafei." Nagarishi stepped into the room. She must have heard it all.
A tear ran down her cheek. Sadly, she smiled. "It doesn't matter now. We have those we love, and we mean to keep them. What I felt for you, I was too immature to understand.... I never told you, or anyone else but Link."
Kafei looked up at her mournfully and stood. "I'm sorry. I really am. I... I can't explain what I was thinking back then, I just acted. I'm sorry I've caused you so much pain. I know I'm the one who made you run away. That was a lie when you said you traveled there. I know that because your mother was looking everywhere for you... Those years ago, when she asked you to hurt me... It was planned. She knew your feelings, though you might not have, and wanted to test you. She didn't think you'd react like that. I played along... I didn't know what she was doing, and was scared myself when she told you to do that..."
"It. it was staged?" She asked meekly. "My mother... but why did she."
"I don't know. But I knew it hurt you. Although she never let me see you, I knew it hurt you. I tried to get through somehow. I really did... She stopped me at every path I took. I couldn't talk to you at all. And that hurt too. She never told me why, so I thought maybe you never wanted to see me again."
"No, I did, I wanted to get out, and I wanted to be with you!" Her arms were gesturing things in a flurry of angry movements.
Kafei stepped towards her and put his hands on her shoulders. "About that time I met Anju. She helped me through it all, though unknowingly, and eventually I came to the realization I may never see you, my best friend, ever again." He held her close, stopping her tears. "I suppose I loved you too, but I never really figured that out till now. I'm sorry Nagarishi. I'm so sorry."
Link was standing now too, wanting to help but not knowing how. He just stood there and watched as old friends made peace.
"That's why. I wondered why you were sad sometimes." Anju was standing in the doorway to the kitchen, leaning against the frame. She smiled, and walked towards them. She took Nagarishi from his embrace and put a delicate hand on her shoulder. "He'd never told me about you. I never knew anything. I didn't know you two had such a past.... But, I cannot ignore my feelings, and you can't ignore your own for Link. I know things can't always happen like we want them, but sometimes it's for the better." Anju gave her a quick hug and then let her go. "Please be happy, now."
Now it was Link's turn to hold her. She had stopped crying and was content to just be close to him.
Kafei sighed and sat back down. Suddenly he smiled. "Are you guys gonna get married?"
Link gave a chuckle. "I don't know. What about you Nagarishi? What do you think?"
She smiled, and shrugged. "I dunno. I guess." She giggled.
Kafei laughed as well. "You seem so sure." He added sarcastically as they all laughed together.
"Thank you for the meal, Anju. It was really great. And I'm glad I got to play with the kids, too! They're so great." Link said to Kafei and Anju as they headed towards the door. "Sorry, but we must get going.
"Thank you again for everything!" Nagarishi called to the couple as she passed through the door.
"You're very welcome! Please come back soon, you two!" Anju said as Kafei waved. The children peeked their heads out at the two as they departed through the streets of Clock Town. "Bye Uncle Link!" They heard from Kaira just as they disappeared around a corner.
