Chapter 5: To the Temple of Faith! Pt. 2

Malon knocked on the mahogany door, "Excuse me, but the milk is here."

The door creaked open to reveal a very handsome young man. From the looks of it, the man looked very well-built and a small smile played upon his perfect lips.

Malon stood there, her mouth open, staring at the beautiful hazel eyes which she was slowly drowning in. Quickly remember what she was there for, she regained her composure, a blush creeping upon her lips from staring, "Uh…here's the milk."

The man took it, his raven black hair falling over his eyes handsomely so, "My name's Joseph, I prefer Joe or Joey."

Malon smiled, "Nice to meet you, Joey. I'm Malon…" She paused, "I haven't seen you before…did you just move here?"

"Well, yeah…kinda." Joey scratched the back of his neck nervously, "My mom lives here and since she's going blind, I decided to stay here and help her run the shop."

"Ah…"

"Yeah."

There was a tense, awkward silence before Joey interrupted it, "Would you like to come in?"

Malon nodded for she was already done sending out all the milk, "I would love to!"

"Come on in, then…"

-- To Link --

Link stared at the beast before him. It looked like a tarantula, with the head of a raccoon, the legs of a spider, and the body of a fish.

"What the hell are you!!?!?" Link shouted, backing up away from this…creature.

"I am Sinister, your first boss in the Temple of Faith!" it replied, laughing evilly.

"…Right." Link muttered, quickly getting up and gripping his sword for dear life.

"I hear you're here to save good 'ol Shinra from the depths of despair…" Sinister let out a cringing laugh, "I do not think you will get very far…"

Link's eyebrows knit together furiously, "And why do you say this, Sinister?" Anger surged through his body like a tidal wave.

"Because I shall crush you to nothing!" Sinister replied, as if the answer was quite obvious.

Link growled, "I don't think so, Sinister! I think it'll be the other way around!"

"We'll see about that, blonde!"

-- Back to Malon and Joey!! --

Malon let out a laugh as Joey cracked a joke.

Joey smiled as he watched her body erupt into laughter, her vocal cords crying out from what he had just said.

"My gosh, Joey! You were born to be a comedian…" Malon whispered, tucking several strands of auburn hair away from her face, "You know, I heard Zelda is going to throw a ball…"

Joey's eyebrows lifted up quite cutely, "Really? I haven't heard of that…"

"It's just rumors, of course," Malon added quickly.

Joey smiled, "But…I bet there probably is."

Malon's smile faded, "And why do you say this? I just told you it was a rumor…why the hope?"

"Because I trust you…" Joey whispered, leaning in close to her, causing Malon to blush as dark as her scarlet hair.

-- To Link and to Sinister! The ugliest thing alive! =D --

Link narrowly dodged a blow, growling, "What the hell!!!"

Sinister laughed, "If I do say so myself…I am easy compared to the true master that lays in the very deep parts of the Temple…if you cannot even beat me, you will not even stand a chance against my master!"

Link took this as an advantage (since Sinister was yapping his head off) and slashed one of Sinister's legs off.

Dark, purple bloody gushed out like a river. Link smirked, "Got ya!" But, it quickly faltered as he saw Sinister grow yet another leg.

Sinister laughed, "You see, the more you cut off, the more I grow…"

Link growled furiously, "Damn…"

Sinister gave Link a hard shove with one of his many legs causing Link to hit one of the walls, "That was for being such a potty mouth…"

Link groaned from the impact before getting back up, "I'm not defeated just yet, Sinister!"

-- Back to Malon!! --

Malon quickly waved goodbye to Joey, smiling broadly. As she rode back to Lon Lon Ranch, thoughts of Joey and his beautiful hazel eyes swarmed her like bees going to flowers. As she looked up into the sky, a beautiful blue and a mixture of a golden sun shone down on her causing her to remember the pain she had faced earlier that day: Link. Her smile faltered and she cursed herself for even looking up at the sky.

-- And Back to Link…LOL --

Beaten and bruised, Link struggled to get up, feeling humiliated as Sinister began to laugh, sending chills up his spine.

"Ha, Hero of Time my socks! You slayed Ganondorf…the second master in which I followed closely behind!!! For it, you shall pay dearly…" Sinister slammed his leg on top of Link, causing Link to pant heavily, "It's such a pity that I have to kill something that has put up a fight for so long…but, revenge…is the only thing upon my mind."

Link blinked several times, blood pouring from his nose, "…You…will…not…kill…me…!!"

Sinister raised his eyebrows (if he had any), "How so? Look at you…if I wasn't going easy on you…you would be nothing but bones."

Link grinned as he finally got up, "You will not get your revenge for I will kill you first."

Sinister laughed once more, "Oh, sure…"

Link suddenly lunged at Sinister, latching himself onto Sinister, causing Sinister to panic.

Link smirked, "You see, your belly is nothing but soft meat which I can cut open to slay you…"

Sinister growled, "But you cannot reach it if I do this!!!" He bucked wildly, as if he were a horse, trying his best to get Link off of him.

Link still held on, "I don't think so, Sinister!" He quickly got to Sinister's stomach and quickly stabbed it, causing the same purple blood to gush out, covering him from head to toe.

Sinister let out a howl of pain as Link continued to stab him and slash his abdomen. Suddenly, Sinister's cries and howls of pain stopped. Link blinked furiously, wondering what happened. Instead of seeing an ugly dead thing, he saw a ripped note, written in rhymes.

Oh, Hero of Time,
A courageous heart of mind
A boy in green
Making quite a scene
The next boss is small
But for a moment he may seem tall
And you shall need smarts
Good luck, you little tart
(A/N: Meant in a good way)

Link's eyebrows knit together, before it finally hit him. The next boss that awaited him was small, but would sometimes seem tall. He would have to use his brain quiet often in this match…it just wasn't based on brute strength.

-- Weeks later --

Link emerged from the Temple, laughing with triumph, dirt covering him in every way possible. His clothes were torn, his bright yellow hair now a dull gold. He panted heavily as he finally reached back at the place where he had first met Shinra.

"Shinra, I have defeated the enemy that dwells inside of you!!!"

A small flash happened and Shinra appeared, dancing and gliding about, smiling, "Thank you, Link! You have saved my temple and you are one step closer to protecting the bracelet!" she smirked, "As a thank you, I would like to give you this…"

Link's hands glowed for several long moments, until finally, in front of him, was the Orb of Love. Link whispered, "Whoa…"

The orb was a radiant blue and in the middle, was a tiny, radiant, pink heart.

Shinra smiled, "Now that I have given you the Orb of Love…I shall teach you my song so that you may return to here if you need any help."

And so she did.

-- Malon --

Ah, Malon…she had finally gotten over Link, thinking that he was just some big-eyed dope that could pout and make you want to marry him in a split---NO. He was just an idiot that was cold-hearted. Malon hmphed. Tonight was the ball in which Zelda was holding. Joey had asked her to be his date and she gladly accepted.

"Joey…" she sighed in wonder, "What a wonderful name…" she paused, staring at her reflection. She smirked, "I look perfect."

-- Back to Link! --

Link thanked Shinra once more, happy about the fact he would be able to go home. (With information before being shipped off once more)

Shinra smiled, "Would you like flowers?"

Link's face turned into a confused expression, "What!?!"

Shinra smirked, "I said, would you like some flowers?"

"…why are you asking me this!?"

"…Because good 'ol Link has a crush on someone!!!"

"…WHAT!?!?!"

"You heard me! Are you impaired, Hero of Time?"

"…no."

"Then you heard me correctly! So sit up straight and give the girl the damn flowers!"

"…I never knew Goddesses were potty mouths…"

"Only if provoked."

There was a tense pause before Link spoke up, "Is it that obvious?"

"Not really. The Three Sisters (aka the Goddesses who protect the three temples) have special abilities. Since my sight was taken away, Din has granted me with sight…not physical sight, but you know what I meant."

"…right."

Shinra smiled once more, "There are some quite beautiful flowers outside the entrance…why don't you just tell the girl and give her the flowers?"

"…how did you know that I didn't tell her yet?!"

"Remember, I'm a goddess!" Shinra winked playfully.

Link laughed, "Alright. I will. I shall come back, Shinra! And thanks…for giving me that shove that I had always needed."

"You're welcome, lover boy!"

Link chuckled, "See you."

-- To Malon!! --

Malon sighed dreamily. This was exactly how she wanted her night to be like…full of dancing, romance, festives…especially a pretty cute guy. Malon sighed, turning her head away from Joey's gaze. But…it just didn't feel…right. Joey was charming, he was cute, he was perfect. But, alas, he just wasn't Link.

Joey tucked a strand of her auburn hair away from her face. Everything was quiet except for the soft swishing of her sapphire dress and the soft melodic music being played by the band nearby. Joey whispered, "Is something the matter?"

Malon averted her gaze once more.

"C'mon, Malon…" Joey whined boy-ishly.

Malon smiled at this, "No."

"Awww…"

"Awww, my rear." Malon smirked.

"You know, if anything is bothering you, you can just tell me…"

Malon embraced Joey, sniffing in his fragrance, "I know."

-- To Our Link! --

Link was dressed nicely. His hair was in its usual craze, but it was tidier then ever. He wore his nicest tunic (which was REALLY dark green) and smiled. He clutched the flowers in his hand tightly and walked towards the dancing. He searched for a familiar red haired beauty and finally came across the girl he had been searching for. Instead of just dancing with someone that had probably asked her…she was kissing.

And she seemed to be enjoying it.
