Eon was not having as much fun as his brother. Oh no. Not by far. After he watched Link and Zelda slip away, Eon had come out of his hiding place in the canopy of trees surrounding the Kokiri Village and looked around, making sure the giant woman wasn't anywhere nearby. Not that he didn't like Impa, it's just that when she was chasing him, he didn't really have many…kind feelings for her. But now that she was out of the way (so to speak), he could do what he'd wanted to before.
Backtracking towards the Deku Tree's little place of residence, Eon made sure to stay as silent as possible. He didn't need anyone to spy on him.
"E…on…?"
The boy stopped dead in his tracks as the soft voice pierced the night. Turning slowly, his eyes searched for the place the voice came from. He didn't have to search long.
"Eon…" The small dragon crept out from behind the root he'd been using as a shield, his head turned to the side, his large eyes inquisitive. Eon smiled at the dragon, then leaned down, holding his hand out. He'd been wondering where Volvagia had gotten himself off to.
"Hey there, Vol-chan. I was wondering where you'd run off to. Did the giant lady scare you, too?" Volvagia chirped happily. "Oh she did? Yeah, me too. But hey, Vol-chan…" He set the baby dragon down, beside him. "I wanna go and talk to the Tree again, ok? There's something I need to ask it."
"Eon…?"
"Yeah. So could you wait here, please? Keep an eye out for the giant woman, ok?"
Volvagia chirped again, and Eon ruffled the hair between his horns.
"That's a good boy. I owe you one, ok? See ya later, Vol-chan." With that, he set off, leaving the dragon behind him, alone in the dirt paths that made up the streets of Kokiri Village.
"Eon…" the small dragon whispered, his eyes sad, then he turned and crawled away, back towards Link's treehouse, where he could wait for the owner to return to.
Alone on the path to the Great Deku Tree's glade, Eon paused, turning to look back. Volvagia was making his slow way back towards the center of the town, and Eon smiled. He didn't like leaving the little guy alone, and he could tell Volvagia was worried about him. There seemed to be a small niche in his mind where he could sense Volvagia.
"Sorry Vol-chan. I'll make it up to you later. We'll go…fishing or something. Just…I don't want anyone else around right now, ok?"
Satisfied with the fact that Volvagia would understand what Eon was feeling, even if he couldn't hear the words, the small red-haired boy turned from the village and continued along his path.
***
The Great Deku Tree was alone in his glade when he sensed the new presence. Link and the others had left barely five minutes before, and already someone was returning. Opening his eyes slightly, he waited for her to appear.
Mikomi slowly materialised beside him, her body gaining mass as it solidified. The Deku Tree watched her intently, his face emotionless as the woman slowly, finally, finished her entrance.
"Hello, Mikomi. It's been a long time," he greeted solemnly. The woman turned to him, a sad smile on her face.
"Hello, Great Deku Tree. It has been a while, hasn't it?" She placed a cool hand against his trunk. "And we've both changed too much, haven't we?"
"Life keeps moving irrevocably forward, and none of us can escape it. Even me."
"It's still sad, Great Deku Tree."
He smiled. "It is. But what brings you here, child? Why can you not rest in peace as you were meant to?"
Her hand dropped away from his trunk and she lowered her gaze. "I doubt I was ever meant to have that option. But I don't know what brings me here, my Lord. I felt a pull on my essence, and then I was here…" She paused. "Is…is my son here?"
A nod. "He is."
She turned away. "I was afraid he might be. I don't think…I want to see him right now. I'm afraid of what might happen."
"He's not near here, you have nothing to worry about."
"Oh?" She questioned, raising an eyebrow. "And where could he be?"
"Showing a friend around his home, I would imagine."
Mikomi bit her lip, trying to hide a smile. "I see." Her smile faded slowly as she turned back to face the deity. "And what of my…other…son?"
Now it was the Deku Tree's turn to raise an eyebrow. "So you know of him, do you?" She nodded. "He's here as well." He frowned. "He is not the most…well-mannered boy in the world, I can say that much for him."
"He's not? Yes, I don't think he would be." Her eyes narrowed.
"What are you thinking of, child?"
"Nothing, Great Deku Tree." She shook her head and combed a pale hand through her hair. "So…that still does not answer how I arrived here."
The tree smiled inwardly at her blatant change of subject. "I can only assume it has something to do with your sons, child. And before you say anything," he cut her off as she opened her mouth to speak, "you need to listen to what I have to say. Sometimes I do know what I am talking about."
She blushed, but closed her mouth.
"Now," he continued, softer, "do you know exactly why you are still in this Realm, and not in the Realm of the Goddesses with Aylen?"
Mikomi began to shake her head, but then stopped. "I…I'm not sure. I used to not, but…"
"But…"
"But the last time I saw Link and Zelda, I met…Eon. Eon…that's a strange name, isn't it?"
"It is. But everything has a reason and a purpose, just as his name does."
She blinked at him. "A reason?"
"Yes." He paused and looked out beyond her, towards his domain. "In the ancient days, everything within this Realm was done with a distinct purpose in mind—everything had meaning. Even names. While those who live within Hyrule no longer follow such practices, the Old Ones still live the way the ancients did. We still follow the old ways."
"I'm sorry, my Lord, but I don't follow what you mean."
"I mean," he said, "that even such simple things as names were taken into careful consideration in times long, long ago. Eon was named by one of the Old Ones, so surely she had a deeper meaning in mind when she named him."
"And what would that meaning be?"
He smiled sadly. "In Ancient Hylian, the word 'Eon' meant 'lost one.' Not in the sense of one who has lost their way, but in the sense of someone who has lost the one thing that makes them what they are. There is a heavy connotation of death when using that word as a name."
Her eyes wide, Mikomi slid to the ground. "…is that what it means…? But…what of Link's name then? I…" She paused and her cheeks grew slightly red. "Before he was born, I had the strong urge to name him Link. A sort of…sixth sense, I guess you could say. I trusted it, because it happened often."
"Ah yes, that. Link is a name that was destined for the Hero of Time and the wielder of the Triforce of Courage. His name means 'courage' or 'fortitude,' and implies that the bearer of that name will never, ever back down from anything. It is the most fitting name to be given to Farore's champion." She smiled at that.
"My son, the champion. I always knew he would make a name for himself."
"He would at that."
Mikomi shifted her weight, curling her legs beneath her and smoothing her skirts about her. "So what of the Princess? Surely Zelda's name has some deeper meaning?"
"Are you interested in the history of names now, Mikomi?"
She blushed. "No, no not at all. I'm just…curious now, I guess."
The great tree chuckled softly. "It is all right, my dear. Your people are naturally curious. Give them one piece of knowledge and they thirst for the rest of it."
Her blush deepened. "Thank you…I think."
"It was meant as a compliment. Now, Zelda… Zelda, like Link, has a name that matches her destiny. Her name means 'shining one.' Her heart is strong and she will lead the people like a star shining in the sky. The greatest rulers in the history of Hyrule carried that name. And then there is the name Mikomi…"
"What?" Jerking her head up, Mikomi caught the Deku Tree's gaze. "What do you mean, my name?"
"Mikomi is a name from Ancient Hylian, didn't you know? Your name has a simple meaning, but it is still a very powerful name."
"Powerful?"
"Yes. It is extremely powerful."
She bit her bottom lip, tearing her gaze from the great tree's eyes. "What could be so powerful about it? There's no power in me, only a belief in those I care about and a wish that everything will turn out for the better."
"And you don't find that powerful, my dear?"
Shaking her head, Mikomi sighed and picked at her dress. "It wasn't powerful enough to save my family, and it's not powerful enough to help me now." She paused. " …What's the meaning, Great Deku Tree?"
"'Hope.'"
Her head whipped up to catch his gaze, but a sound at the edge of the glade caught them both off-guard. Both of their eyes darted towards the sound, and Mikomi's breath caught in her throat.
Eon.
***
He forced himself to a stop when he caught the other figure in the glade with the tree. He recognized her, but barely. Something about her was familiar, but he couldn't place from where, or why he should know her.
Was she the person with Brother that one time…? After Dark Link appeared…?
Banishing the thought from his head—he didn't need confusing images and memories in his way right now—Eon began walking down the slight decline towards the tree. The woman sitting by his trunk stood slowly, her eyes watching his like a wary mouse would a cat. He grinned slightly and a tip of his fang showed. He hated the body Elah gave him, but in this instance, it served the circumstances well.
"Yo, 'Tree," he said, never taking his gaze from the woman's. She frowned at his obvious lack of respect for such a mighty being, but said nothing, instead content to purse her lips. Great, he thought, the mother-hen type.
"Eon," the tree greeted, his deep voice rumbling the ground slightly. Eon may have grown up in the presence of a kooky old man and a deranged water spirit, but talking trees still gave him a bad vibe. Trees just shouldn't be allowed to do that.
"Who's the guest?" He jerked his head towards the woman, who frowned even more. This, in turn, caused Eon to outright grin.
"Ah," the tree responded, turning his gaze towards the woman, "that would be—"
"None of your business," she snapped. "Rude little boys should learn their place."
Eon's smile instantly fell away. Not because of the words—he'd heard a lot harsher in his day—but from the tone of her voice. She wasn't being mean about it, but almost lecturing, as though teaching a wayward child.
"Lady, if I wanted your opinion, I'd have asked you."
"How dare you?"
Whoo, she looked pissed now.
"Children!" The Great Deku Tree boomed, surprising both of them. "Now that we have that out of our systems…?"
The woman bowed low. "Forgive me, my Lord."
Lord? Eon scoffed. Like that tree deserves that kinda reverence. He hasn't shown me anything like that… Eon opened his mouth to say as much, then stopped. But he hasn't been mean to me at all. I'm just mad because he can't give Brother an easy answer… How petty is that?
Something of his thoughts must have made their way to the tree, because he caught a smile out of the corner of his eye. Frowning and crossing his arms across his chest, Eon puffed his cheeks and glared.
"What're you smiling about, 'Tree?"
"Just you, and how maybe there is hope that you will grow up someday."
The strange woman burst out laughing as Eon lost his composure, stuttering and letting his arms fall to his sides. "Hey! That's not fair!"
"I'm not so sure," the woman said, her voice carrying a hint of gentleness that wasn't there before. "I think he figured you out quite well."
Eon scoffed. "Like you even know me, Lady. Who are you, anyway?"
Her smile disappeared again. "I'm not sure I want you to know." Eon frowned at her. Every time she looked at him, he felt a chill through his back, as though he should know her from somewhere. And the cold way she addressed him—it hurt. I know her face! I do! So why can't I place it…?
"Anyway," the Great Deku Tree interrupted, "what brings you to me, Eon? Surely not to badmouth me some more?"
"Nah, it's all been said already," Eon answered, turning from the strangely familiar woman, blotting her out completely. He'd deal with her later. Actually…he'd deal with her know. "I wanted to talk to you—alone." He shot a glare at the woman. "That means without anyone else around."
"I think I would rather stay, thank you." She countered.
"Well I don't."
"Eon," the rumbling voice of the Deku Tree once again broke apart the two red-haired Hylians. "Anything you need to say to me is perfectly acceptable to say before her. She might surprise you."
"I don't know her."
He smiled, but his eyes looked sad. Eon didn't like that look. "That's perfectly fine. But I am quite sure she will not betray your trust, and will keep anything that is said here between just the three of us." Eon didn't miss the look he shot to the woman, or the slight nod of her head as a response.
Sighing melodramatically, Eon folded his arms across his chest once more. "Fine, have it your way."
"Thank you, I think I shall."
If Eon didn't know any better, he would think the damn tree was mocking him. "Anyway," he said, not quite pouting, "I needed to ask you something. Well…more like just talk about it, is all." He paused, looking at the woman out of the corner of his eye. It was embarrassing enough talking to the damn tree, but this woman as well?
"Yes, I believe we already came to that conclusion, child. What is it that bothers you?"
Eon's eye twitched. If the tree didn't stop being so bloody sarcastic Eon was sure it would sound like him very soon. "I wanted to know… Well, it's about me and Brother."
The woman's eyes widened, but he forced himself to ignore her.
"It's just… I know how everything happened, and I know that we'd both protect each other no matter what. I would never willingly let anything happen to him, and the same for him." His gaze fell and his arms fell to his side, his whole demeanor changing into one of uncertainty. "That's what siblings do, right? And I talked with Saria some, and she basically told me the same thing. We're brothers because we care about each other, just like she's a big sister to everyone here, including Brother. But…"
"But what?" Surprisingly enough, it was the woman who asked the question, not the tree. Eon looked at her, slightly annoyed, but then he caught her expression. She looked sad and lost, as though she wasn't quite sure of what she was feeling. In that moment, he was closer to her than he ever thought he could be, and she didn't bother him anymore.
He answered, looking her straight in the eye, not blinking. "But that alone doesn't make me family, does it? Not really."
"What do you mean? You just said that you could be siblings through actions and feelings." This time it was the Deku Tree that spoke.
His eyes still bored into the woman's. "Yeah, I did. But that doesn't make it real, does it?" He finally managed to unlock gazes with her and turned back to the Deku Tree. "This body," he lifted his hands and held them before him palm up. His gaze didn't leave the palms. "This body is made of rock and dirt and water and magic. There is no flesh here." He caught the Deku Tree's gaze. "I was made as a weapon to fight the one I plan on protecting. My soul is my own, but… Regardless of the fact that the way I feel makes me his brother, I was once true family. How can I compete with that, as I am now? How is a soul connected to another but through flesh and blood?"
Silence permeated the glade at Eon's words, and he dropped his gaze. They must both think I'm so stupid now… Especially that lady, he thought dryly. But it didn't feel weird to tell her that. It actually felt…comforting.
He was startled by cool fingers on his cheeks, lifting his gaze. The strange woman was looking at him, holding his face in her hands as she knelt before him, her purple eyes meeting his blue-green ones.
"I think that's rather heavy thinking for a young boy," she replied quietly, still holding his face in her hands. Eon didn't struggle against her, but just kept staring at her eyes. "But may I ask you a question?"
"…Sure."
"Do you think your brother actually cares whether or not you're the same flesh and blood he is? Or do you think he's just happy to know that he actually has someone to call family?"
Eon shrugged. "I guess he's happy…"
She smiled. "Then does it really, truly matter all that much?"
Her question caught Eon off-guard, mainly because he had never thought of it that way. "No…I guess it doesn't. At least not to him." His eyes still bore into hers. "But it does to me."
"Why?" was all she asked.
"Because…because…"
"You don't have an answer to that, do you?" Eon shook his head slowly. "Then it shouldn't really matter. All you need to do is be yourself, Eon. That's all anyone is asking you to be."
A spark of recognition flew through Eon as she said his name, and his eyes widened as his body stiffened. The lady frowned and Eon pulled away from her, letting her hands drop back to her sides and away from his face.
Brother…Brother told me… He told me what she looked like… And I know…I've seen her before… Eon stared at the woman in front of him, unable to say anything as he finally realised who she really was.
"Eon…" the Deku Tree rumbled, and the boy cast a haunted look his way, but then centered his gaze back on the startled woman before him. "Eon, it is all right… You don't have to—"
"I know you," he said softly, cutting off the Deku Tree's words. For once, the woman didn't frown at his lack of propriety. "I know you… I saw you in my dreams…every day. But I…"
"Eon…" she whispered, but he shook his head and pushed her away.
"No!"
And with that, he turned on his heels and ran from the view of the Deku Tree and Mikomi, never looking back.
***
Mikomi watched her errant son run off, unable to follow. She didn't know what to do, or how to react.
"So," The Deku Tree finally stated, his rumbling voice catching her attention. "You met the infamous Eon. He's not exactly the easiest boy to get along with."
She shook her head, but smiled. "No. No, I wouldn't say he was."
"You already knew him. I asked you before how this was possible, but you never answered…"
Sighing, Mikomi smoothed her skirts and sat down. "I saw him sleeping once. While I was talking to the princess. Zelda mentioned him, and I recognized him as the boy who tried to kill my son…" She frowned, but shook her head and continued. "So I walked over to him. My Lord, I…" She looked over at the tree, her eyes sad. "I hated him when I first met him. I had no idea who he was, only that he tried to murder my child. But then I…I looked inside his heart, Great Deku Tree, and I realised who he really was. But I still wasn't sure of him." She looked at her hands resting on her knees. "I wasn't sure of my own son…"
The Deku Tree sighed softly. "It's hard to understand our own feelings sometimes, my child. And your people have confused me for years on end."
She smiled sadly. "Is that so, my Lord?"
He smiled back. "It is."
Slowly, Mikomi made her way back to her feet and walked closer to the Deku Tree. "I'll have to talk to the boy later. I don't want him to get weird thoughts in his head about me. And I want to get to know him better. But… I can feel myself being pulled again. And there is still something I need to know, Great Deku Tree."
He raised an eyebrow. "Oh? What is that?"
"Why am I here? I know you know why. You might act like you don't but…this is something I need to know."
He smiled sadly at her. "Am I that predictable?"
"This version of you is," she answered back, her eyes blurring slightly. "What did that man do to you, Lord? You are so important to this world, to this forest. Even to my village and her people."
"Yes. But there are no more of your people left, Mikomi."
"There are two," she replied hotly, then lowered her gaze. "My village's beliefs won't die out just yet, Great Deku Tree, not with one son raised as a Kokiri and the other… I don't even know, actually."
"Perhaps you should ask him later then." The tree chuckled, but then sighed, his mood mellow. "But yes, I do know why you are still here. You're purpose wasn't over when you brought the Hero of Time to me to be raised in safety."
Mikomi raised an eyebrow at that, but said nothing, waiting for the great tree to continue.
"You know of Dark Link, that I am sure of." He paused, waiting for some response. She nodded, and he continued. "Because of him, your second role was brought back. I must admit…we all hoped he would not appear. But the balances in Hyrule were far too offset by Ganondorf, and by the time Link defeated him, the Sages and I already knew what would happen."
Mikomi shook her head, her face creased with worry. "I don't understand…"
"I mean, my child, that ever since your son was born, we have known about this potential threat to Hyrule. Being the mother of the Hero of Time, the task was given to you to lead the two towards their destinies."
"Lead…the two?"
He nodded, and Mikomi felt her heart sink at his expression. "Yes. Your task now is to lead the Hero of Time and his Darkness to their final battle."
Shocked, Mikomi took a step backwards, and then another. This wasn't happening! This couldn't be happening! I can't…I can't lead my son to a fight…not against that! That's like…asking my son to kill himself…!
"No matter who wins…" she gulped out, tears standing in her eyes, "my son will still die. Some form of my son will still die!"
"Yes… Unfortunately, that is the case."
Mikomi stood rigid, for the first time in her life defiant towards the Deku Tree. "I refuse."
"I am afraid you cannot do that, Mikomi."
"I refuse!" She flung her arm out, anger welling up in her to replace the tears. "I will not help you kill my son!"
"I never said Link was going to die."
"No, but that…that other boy, that 'Dark Link,' as you call him. He still looks like my son! He still talks and acts like my son in the way I imagine he would as an adult!"
The Deku Tree sighed. "Be that as it may…"
"What is he, Great Deku Tree? What is Dark Link?" She bit her bottom lip, her eyes pleading. "Tell me…tell me he isn't my son. Tell me there is no connection, please, and I can do this. Only…I can't…"
"I am sorry, Mikomi, but I cannot tell you who or what Dark Link is. That information was not meant for you to know."
"Damn what I was meant to know!" She yelled, tears streaming down her face without her knowledge. All she felt was a burning within her; a desire to lash out at anyone and anything in her way. Regardless if that thing was the Great Deku Tree or not.
The Deku Tree watched her, his expression unreadable, and slowly Mikomi felt her anger fade away. "I'm sorry, Great Deku Tree. I shouldn't have said that…"
"It is all right, my child. I am sorry that I cannot tell you what you wish to know, however…" He seemed to smile, if only slightly, and Mikomi peaked an eyebrow. "I am sure you will find the answers to all your questions eventually. I just cannot tell you when or how."
Knowing forgiveness when she saw it, Mikomi bowed low. "Yes, thank you, Great Deku Tree." She stood, and looked at the benevolent tree for a long time, saying nothing.
I still don't… I don't know that I can pit my son against something like Dark Link. When I talked to him… I know he is connected to Link somehow, I just can't understand how. But this feels right. It feels like I have a purpose again, and I haven't felt like that since I found out I was with child.
She took a deep breath, feeling the last vestiges of her anger slipping away. "What…do I need to do, Great Deku Tree?"
He sighed, and she smiled slightly. This new Deku Tree is so different from the one I grew up knowing. He's more laid back, and not quite so intimidating.
"You're job is to tell them a riddle."
She blinked, confused. "A riddle?"
"Yes, a riddle. All you have to do is tell it to Link, and he will have to work it out. However," if the Great Deku Tree had hands, Mikomi could see him rubbing his temple at this point, and bit her lip to keep from grinning. "However, Dark Link needs to be led more. Therefore, you are to help him out slightly more than Link. Not enough to give him the answers, but to send him in the right direction."
Mikomi's expression soured as the Deku Tree continued talking, and by the end she was outright frowning. "So you want me to help someone I know is trying to kill my son…? And not only that, help him more than I help Link?"
The Deku Tree, if it were even possible, blushed slightly. "Yes, that is exactly what I am asking you to do."
Mimicking what she had imagined earlier, Mikomi lifted a hand to her forehead and began to rub the begin vestiges of a headache away. "Very well, my Lord. What's the riddle, and what's the answer?"
He smiled, relieved. "The riddle is this. 'Where life meets death and fades away. Where life shines bright again.' And the answer to it…well, you must figure that out on your own, my dear."
Mikomi frowned. "'Where life meets death…'?" I don't understand, Great Deku Tree."
"You will, child, you will. Now go on. You have a long journey ahead of you, and not much time to do it in."
She was about to ask what he meant by 'not much time,' but that pulling sensation she felt earlier finally overcame her, and she disappeared in a swirl of darkness. The last thing she saw was the Great Deku Tree's face, his eyes sad as he watched her go.
***
Far off, near the edge of the forest, two shapes tried to find an entrance into the dense forest. One, a filly, stood slightly behind her master, her ears pricked forward, alert to any sign of danger. Her eyes roved the trees constantly, never stopping.
The other figure, a man dressed all in green, tried vainly to part the bushes blocking him from entering, but always, always, the foliage pushed him back. It was almost as if the forest itself was rejecting him.
Dark Link swore under his breath, his temper quickly taking a turn for the worse.
"Stupid forest…let me in! C'mon…." He pulled at one particularly stubborn branch, but just as he was making headway, it snapped out of his hands, flew forward, and then flew back, smashing him in the chest. Almost instantly, Dark Link kicked the tree the branch belonged to, knocking bark off and breaking some small twigs.
"Bloody stupid forest! I don't even want to be here, anyway!" He spat at the imposing forest.
The forest didn't answer back.
Glaring back once more (for good measure), Dark Link stomped away a few feet and sat down in a huff. Epona cantered over to him and nuzzled his shoulder, and some of his bad mood faded away.
"Thanks, girl. I needed that." He looked over his shoulder at the forest, and, on a sudden impulse, stuck his tongue out at it. Obscenely happy about the fact he just told off a forest, he turned his back on it again. "I don't even know why I'm here. I don't want to be here. I just feel…"
A sound behind him sent Dark Link to his feet in an instant, his bow pulled taught, an arrow facing right towards the heart of the sound.
He gasped and dropped the weapon when he saw who stood there.
Saria smiled at him from the inside edge of the forest, her green eyes sparkling with their usual warmth and love.
"Saria…" his voice game out as barely more than a whisper, and was laced with guilt and pain. Saria…I haven't seen her in so long…!
Her smile brightened as he said her name, and she nodded, holding out her hands. "Yes. Welcome home, Little Brother."
As if compelled, Dark Link walked towards her and hugged her close as the trees parted to let him through.
Behind him, Epona whinnied in pleasure, for the first time seeing her master genuinely smile.
End Part Two
***
I got sick of my other way of doing author's notes, so here we go.
This took a long time and there's really nothing here. I'm sorry about that. But I had to set things up somehow, and this is the only way I could. I don't even really like this chapter at all. But in good news, I did finally nail down what I'm gonna be doing in part three. Meaning I should be able to get my act together and write things faster.
Will that happen? -_-x Probably not. But I should be able to write in action. I miss action.
Anywho, I do have a response for a reviewer that can also apply towards anyone else wondering the question (I'm sure there are a lot of others noticing these things too).
To reviewer SCw (and anyone else who was wondering): I use the Japanese honorifics because that's how I actually think of the characters, and it's my goal to get everyone to call Link Link-kun. ^-^x That, and I like the differences in formality that are apparent in those honorifics. To do that in English would sound extremely weird and false to me, so that's why I did that. I know it is out of place, but I did have a reason for it.
As for why people know about what Link-kun did in the future…that would be because I get confused with the whole future thing, and just a lack of attention on my part. They probably shouldn't remember (only the Sages should), so that's my mistake. If you keep reading, you'll notice I make a LOT of mistakes, and I apologize now for any I've made/will make.
Thank you for pointing those things out though.
And that's it until next time. *huggles* And I wanna give a special thanks to Michelle Lancaster, who read this even though she's opposed to the pairing. ^-^x Your reviews made me a very happy miko.
