Chapter Three
"Ryo, it's not fair. . ." Rachel moaned.
"Rachel, as soon as we get back to earth you can see Jordan." Ryo smiled.
Rachel sighed, "Yeah, I miss Jordan. I miss the dates that I had with him. . ."
Ryo laughed, "I miss the quiet nights I had when you went on those dates."
Link looked at the two of them, "You two are crazy. . ."
Rachel slammed her fist into the ground, and ice shot towards Link, "I'm not crazy!"
Ryo ran in front of Link, and clenched her hands. When they caught on fire, she punched the ice headed toward Link. She then looked Rachel in the eye, "If he dies, Rach, we'll be here forever!"
Rachel nodded, "I was only having some fun, Ryo. I didn't want to kill him."
Ryo sighed, "I don't want anyone else to die, Rach. . ." After she said that, she sat down at the fire she had made.
Link looked at her, "What does she mean by that?"
Rachel sighed, "When I was thirteen, my parents died in a car crash, and I survived. I went to live with Ryo and her parents. But two years later, her parents were murdered when we went to a movie. Ryo thinks it is her fault. Labs have tried to get us to see how we use our powers, but Ryo has kept them away."
Link nodded, "I understand. . . I think."
Rachel laughed, "Fairy boy, for someone the age of eighteen you don't know very much." She smiled, "Never mind." She motioned her head over to Ryo, "Why don't you try to cheer her up?"
Link shook his head, "I don't want to upset her." Rachel rolled her eyes, and smiled.
"Link, do this for me, please. . ." Rachel smiled. She then pushed Link over to where Ryo was. "I am too good! If only Jordan were here to congratulate me."
Link smiled at Ryo, "Hey there, are you ok?"
Ryo nodded as she stared into the fire, "I'm alright. Sorry about my cousin, her temper is sometimes thin. . ."
Link laughed, "Like yours can't be?"
Ryo turned to face Rachel, "Hey, Rach, are you going to stay back there all night?" Rachel smiled, and Ryo laughed, "Get over here."
Rachel came running over, "Tell me Ryo, what are you thinking about?"
Ryo smiled, "What I'm going to do to you for what you just did."
Demon trotted over to Rachel, and snorted at Ryo. Rachel tapped him playfully on the nose, "Don't do that Demon. . . If it weren't for Ryo, you would still be trying to fend for yourself at that corral."
Ghost bit Demon on the rump, and Demon turned quickly to bite him back but Ryo intervened, "Demon, why don't you just settle down?" Ghost pranced over to Ryo, and whinnied at Demon.
Rachel laughed, "I love this. This is the greatest time I have ever had. . . Except for that one time when I beat up that guy that wanted to mug me." She got a smile from Ryo, and clenched her fists. Ice covered them to make them more solid than rock, "I bet he still has a headache from that one. . ."
Link smiled, "I'm glad you can keep yourselves in a fight. . ."
"That's what we do for a living." Ryo laughed as Rachel nodded. She smiled as Link laughed.
Rachel sat down, and rummaged trough her backpack, "Ryo, did I put Sheriff in here?"
Ryo sat down beside her, "Not that I know of. . ." She saw Rachel's face turn sad, and smiled. She then rummaged through hers, "But I saw him sitting on your bed, and when you didn't take him, I knew you would die if you didn't have him." She pulled out a stuffed animal that was a German Shepard.
Rachel grabbed it from her, "Sheriff! Thanks Ryo!" Ryo nodded, and Rachel hugged the stuffed animal to her chest, "You always remember him."
Link looked at Ryo, "What is the big deal about that thing?"
Ryo lowered her voice to a whisper, "Sheriff is the only thing she has of her parents left. She feels like her parents are with her when she has him."
Link nodded, "Do you have something like that?"
Ryo blushed as Rachel nodded, "Yes she does. . ."
Ryo covered Rachel's mouth, "That is something I keep to myself."
Link smiled, "What is it?"
Rachel licked Ryo's hand that was over her mouth. Ryo quickly pulled away from her, and wiped her hand in the grass. Rachel laughed, "She has Mystic. . . Mystic is a Pegasus."
Ryo blushed, and turned her attention back to the fire, "Mystic is more than a keepsake. Mystic was the stuffed animal that my father gave to me when I was three." She rummaged through her backpack, and pulled out a bottle of substance.
Rachel saw this, and scooted over to Ryo, "Is that hot chocolate?" Ryo nodded, and poured some into a cup that she took from her backpack, "Cold or hot?"
Rachel smiled, "It's obvious, cold!"
Link shook his head, and sat down on the other side of the fire. He thought to himself. ~Why is it that I have already defeated Ganondorf, but creatures of evil are still about?~ He looked at the two girls on the other side of the fire. ~They seem so innocent. I wonder if they would be willing to fight evil forces if need be.~ He saw Ryo smile at Rachel. ~Something about Ryo and Rachel is puzzling, though. Somehow I think there is more than meets the eye. Why would they be brought to Hyrule for no reason. They are clearly from another place.~
Rachel saw Link stare at them from across the fire, "Is everything alright, Link?" Ryo stopped laughing, and turned her attention to Link.
Link shook his head, "Everything is alright, I was just thinking." He then smiled, "In the morning we are going to the Zora's Domain."
Ryo nodded as she yawned, and Rachel jumped up and down, "Alright! The Zora's!" She stopped, and then looked at Link, "I have one question. . . What's a Zora?"
Link fell over laughing at Rachel's puzzled look. He regained some of his sense, "You'll see tomorrow." Rachel nodded, and Link smiled, "You two get some rest, I'll take the watch for tonight."
Ryo laid down and fell asleep with her backpack as a pillow. Rachel followed Ryo's example, and also fell asleep. Link looked at the two girls, asleep. He then remembered their horses were still with them. He turned to Ghost and Demon, "Hey boys, you can go to Epona now. . ." Demon snorted at him, and Ghost barred his teeth at Link. Link sighed, "Fine, stay here then. It's no difference to me. I could care less. You boys just give me company for the night ahead of me."
In the morning, Rachel woke up to see two blue orbs staring at her. She laughed as she noticed they were Demon's eyes, "You could have gone to Epona last night." She looked over at Ryo, to see just her backpack. She looked around, and saw Link asleep on the other side of the remains of their fire. She threw a small rock at him, "Link, Ryo's gone!"
Link bolted awake, "What?" He saw Rachel but no Ryo, "Where is Ryo?"
Rachel shrugged, "I don't know. I woke up, and she wasn't here." She then hit her head, "I know where she is. . ."
Link quickly jumped up, "Where is she?"
Rachel put her finger to her mouth to quiet Link. After everything was quiet, she heard what sounded like Ryo. Rachel jumped up, and smiled, "Follow me. . ." Link followed her as she walked toward what sounded like Ryo. They found Ryo practicing with her sword.
Ryo was sweating by the time they reached her. She didn't notice they had found her until she spun around with her sword. Link blocked the blow aimed at his torso with his sword. Ryo dropped her sword and jumped, "I-I didn't know you were there."
Link picked up her sword, and handed it to Ryo, "You are coming along nicely with that. If I was a few seconds slower, you would have sliced clear across my torso." Ryo winced as he said this. Link smiled, "Lets go back, get our stuff, and head toward the Zora's Domain."
As they entered the Zora's Domain, they were on top of a waterfall. Ryo looked down the waterfall, "That's a long way to fall. . ." Rachel nodded.
Link smiled as he got behind Ryo and Rachel. He then pushed the two off the waterfall, "Have a nice trip."
Ryo yelled as she fell, "You. . . You'll pay for that! You just wait!"
Rachel, on the other hand, was laughing, "This is Great! This is even better than a roller coaster!"
As Ryo and Rachel surfaced, Link came diving into the water. As he came up, he grabbed Ryo from underneath, and started to pull her down. Ryo panicked and struggled against his grip. When Link surfaced, he was met by Ryo's fist, "Don't you ever do that again!"
Link laughed, "That was great! You should have seen your face. . ." He did an impersonation of Ryo's scared face.
Rachel laughed also, "I know, that was great! Ryo was so scared!" She paused, then continued, "Let's do it again!"
Link then noticed all the eyes on them. He smiled at them all, "You can go back to your business. . ."
He moaned as he heard a screeching voice, "Link. . . My love!"
"Ruto," He moaned.
A female Zora swam over to him, "My love, I was wondering when you were going to come and visit me. . ."
Link smiled, "Ruto, I would like you to meet my two new friends. . ." He motioned to Rachel, "This is Rachel." He then smiled even bigger as he motioned to Ryo, "And this is Ryo. . ." Ryo moaned, she knew what was coming. Link's smile didn't waver, "My new love."
Ruto gave Ryo a ice cold stare, "When did you meet her?"
Rachel laughed, "Ryo didn't get burned. . . She got Frozen!"
Ryo stared back at Ruto with a fiery stare, "We met about a week ago." She thought to herself. ~I could play along with Link this one time. Ruto has been put on my list for 'hating' people~ She smiled as she hugged Link, "Yes, we are deeply in love. Aren't we Link?"
Link nodded, "It's true Ruto. We do love each other. Even more than anyone could love someone."
Rachel laughed as Ruto turned to leave, "You all come back now, we would enjoy some more entertainment today!" When Ruto left, she turned to Ryo and Link and laughed. Link was still hugging Ryo while she was trying to get out of his grip. Rachel tried to hide her laughter from her cousin, "You two make the perfect couple."
Link laughed also, "So, we are deeply in love, huh?"
Ryo struggled in his grip, "I was only trying to. . ." She stopped struggling, and relaxed in his tight grip.
Link smiled down at her, "Yes?"
Ryo forgot what she was going to say as Link hugged her tight, "I-I don't remember what I was going to say."
Rachel smiled to herself. ~I am good. Ryo now has a boyfriend, or at least will when she gives in to those feelings she has inside of her. I have Jordan, and Ryo has Link.~ She then laughed, "Are we going to stay here all day?"
Ryo didn't hear what Rachel had just said. She laid her head back against Link's chest, and fell asleep to the rise and fall of his chest. Link smiled at Rachel, "Hey Rachel, look. . ."
Rachel looked at Link, and saw Ryo had fallen asleep, "Well, what do we do now?" She smiled, "I better get a 'Thank you, Rachel' for this one. . ."
Link nodded, "Thank you, Rachel." He then set Ryo down on the ground, "We could stay here for a while. The Zora's could teach you to dive deeper if you want them too."
Rachel nodded, "That would be great!"
~**~
Ryo awoke to see Link sitting down by the water, and Rachel surfacing the water. Rachel saw the now awake Ryo, "Link, look who decided to join us."
Ryo wiped her hand across her face, "How long was I asleep?"
Link smiled, "About two hours. I guess you were tired from that training you did this morning."
Ryo nodded as she got up and walked over to Link, "How much longer do you want to stay here?"
Rachel shrugged as she jumped out of the water, "We can go now if you want to." She looked at Link, who nodded, "Yup, we can leave now."
Ryo stretched, and ran her hand through her hair. She yawned, "Ready?"
Link stood up, and grabbed Ryo around the waist. He then threw her into the water, "That should wake you up the full way." Ryo surfaced, sputtering up water. Link smiled, "Refreshed any?"
Ryo laughed, "You just wait, I'll get you back." She put her hand out for Link, and he grabbed it. Ryo smiled as she pulled with all her force. Link came tumbling in the water. When he surfaced, Ryo nodded, "I told you I would get you back!"
