CHAPTER 5
Mevy:I don't own Zelda, right Kirsty?
Kirsty: yeah right Mevy, then I wouldn't own Zelda either.pshaa! Like THAT is true! OH! By the way it's chapter FOUR, idiot! Mevy: IT IS! I mean the 'we own Zelda part!' Kirsty: Really? *Some men in business suits come up and whisper to her* It appears that we DON'T own Zelda. But you own Shanti. And I own Renzoku. And I also own many, many other characters, just none related to the original Zelda story. Mevy: That about sums it up.
Shanti was yelling in frustration because no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get in to the Kokiri Forest. She growled under her breath again as she rammed into the wall-like structure that blocked her and Ren's way in to the Kokiri Village.
"Are you trying to get in through here?" Renzoku asked curiously, taunting Shanti. This was to try and drive Shanti out of her mind then watch as she blew up. This was a very interesting event and Ren knew this from experience because she had seen Ruto tick Shanti off and then they were at it for HOURS on end if they got the chance. Of course the idiot fish hadn't known this would happen or what trouble she would get herself into because now she owed Shanti BIG TIME! Shanti finally answered, sarcastically, "No. I've just been beating myself up to try and dislocate myself this WHOLE FRIGGIN TIME! I have nooo in intention WHATSOEVER to try AND GET INTO THE KOKIRI FOREST, DESTROY THE MONSTER, GET THE SPRITUAL STONES AND ALTOGETHER SAVE HYRULE FROM ULTIMATE DESTRUCTION!!!" Shanti's voice had risen higher and higher the whole time until it broke at the word "destruction". Ren watched, entertained as Shanti stormed off furiously towards Lon Lon Ranch. She might go get some milk and then Ren knew she'd be back sooner or later to apologize.
Shanti did just that then, much more controlled, she asked some what to the sky she was looking at as she lay on her back, "How are we supposed to save Hyrule if we can't even get the Kokiri Emerald?" "I thought you didn't want to get in!" "REN!!" Shanti yelled at her as she jumped up, temper flaring from earlier. "You know perfectly well what I meant! You can read minds!" Ren decided that Shanti had mood days, not swings. One day she'd be sarcastic, the other she'd bounce everywhere and was really funny she was also probably sometimes dark and moody sometimes too.
"You said you didn't want me to read your mind; you could feel it; it was irritating!" Shanti's eye twitched, annoyed, but not so much that she couldn't have fun. Ren added after she'd laughed enough at Shanti, "It was quite funny watching you pour all your energy into that like your life depended on it." *If she only knew* Shanti thought. Ren heard the thought and in doing so, Shanti could feel Ren's presence in her mind. Shanti somehow managed to throw Ren's mind out, mentally. "I SAID DON'T READ...MY MIND!!" Shanti said the last few words slowly as if she was an adult reprimanding a small child to try and teach them not to eat the carpet. Her black eyes were filled with cold anger and hatred.
(A/N: Mevy: Once, I put a bead up my nose and it got stuck! My dad had to pull it out with tweezers! And when I was like two, I climbed my closet organizer and then there once was this kid, on top of a tugboat play place-
Kirsty: MEVY! SHUT UP!
Mevy: So I knocked him off so I could be on the top! =P
Kirsty: UHG! Sorry everybody! All right Mevy BACK 2 the story!)
There was complete silence. Shanti, finally cooled off, and asked, "Why, why do you ask if I'm trying to get in?" "Oh yeah." Ren said as if she had forgotten her earlier question. "Ruto told me-" Shanti jumped to her feet. "That rotten little fish! I'm gonna-" "SHANTI! Let me finish!" Renzoku took charge since she WAS older. She was fairly surprised when she saw that Shanti didn't protest and her face looked downcast. *It must be something.from her past.? What exactly happened? She is like a different person.* "Uhm, well, she told me, Ruto that is, told me." Shanti did nothing but stare at the ground. *Now THAT is CREEPY!* Ren thought to herself. "Not to tell you.but that was an entrance to the Lost Woods along the Zora River next to a waterfall.which was also another entrance to the Zora's Domain."
"Ruto said you wouldn't be able to get in from where she knew you would try because.the Kokori don't like outsiders." Shanti's face brightened up almost instantly. "Let's go then!" Shanti and Ren at long last reached the waterfall. Ren pointed to a sign and called out to Shanti, who was lazy and had stayed a Zora after swimming (With Ren hanging on to her back) up the river, since they had no bombs (to Shanti's disappointment) to blow up the rocks on their way. "Hey Shanti!" Ren called over her shoulder. "What?!" Shanti yelled back irritably since she'd been bathing in the waterfall. "I think I found it! There's a sign! It says."
In almost an instant, Shanti was by Renzoku's side. Shanti yanked at the sign, breaking the post that held it and brought the writing close to her face. "HEY!" Ren protested. Shanti only shushed her with a finger to her lips and kept reading. "Yup, it's the entrance. The sign says 'Here stands the well, the entrance to the Lost woods. Be warned: Should you get lost, terrible things may happen." (A/N: I know there isn't REALLY a sign, but who cares?) "How'd YOU know? How am I supposed to believe you aren't just making this up?!" Shanti looked straight at Renzoku, which completely freaked her out, and said "I know a lot of different languages."
"How?" Ren pried. "Don't push it." *But HOW? She is only 14! That is not enough time to master a lot of different languages! The only two I can tell she speaks are the language I speak and.wait, maybe the sign was in Zora.* "He Shanti! What was that sign in?" "Huh? OH! Korkorish! Zoras use Hylian if you are wondering. Didn't you notice that Ruto didn't have an accent?" *Shanti has an accent! But what does THAT mean? I have an accent compared to that bug girl and Ruto.does she come from where I do? No.they arent the same.but what about her parents? Won't her parents be worried about her? Does she HAVE any?*
Shanti had finished talking about accents and the origins. Instead, she was staring at a small opening in the bottom of the hole, which was filled with water. "I can make it either way" Shanti determined. *Wait, she didn't say the species! Does that mean I get to see the other one? What is she hiding from me? True, I keep my own secrets, but which species you are is NOT something to hide!* "-so that's how we'll get through.unless you can make it?" Shanti figured. "No, but-" Renzoku's question was cut short as Shanti grabbed her arm and dove into the water. It was okay until about halfway down when Ren ran out of air. She struggled to pull away, but couldn't. Shanti pushed at Ren's cheeks, which opened her mouth. Shanti closed her own mouth over Renzoku's.
*She IS a lesbo! Trying to seduce me at my moment of death!* Quite the contrary, Renzoku received a bunch of air. Shanti dragged her down the rest of the way, they went through the opening and came out the other side. Once they reached the top, Shanti exploded, "DID YOU EVEN LISTEN?!" Ren, shocked, only let her mouth hang open. Shanti fumed for a while, then turned to Ren. "Sorry." Shanti rose her gaze to meet Renzoku's a couple of times, then dropped it. "I shouldn't have yelled at you.sorry." Shanti stood at each of the three tunnels, right, left, and straight. (a/n - if non- gay/les people are straight, then is everyone else curly?)
"Which one, or ones, d'ya think'll lead nowhere?" "Wouldn't you wanna pick the correct tunnel and NOT one that led nowhere? Remember the sign?" Ren recalled. "No, it just said that because it's made up. No one has come in here and come out. I know why. It's called the Lost Forrest because if you get lost, it takes you into the Kokori Village. So we have to get lost to get out. Now, since you are the all-so-magical-psychic-one, you can put your powers to work and pick a way that gets us lost!"
"Okay.I pick. the right one!" "I just said we have to pick the WRONG ONE!" Shanti nearly blew a fuse. " I meant the one that is opposite of you left." Renzoku said in a calming voice. "Oh.I knew that!" Shanti headed out the right tunnel (the one across from her left) and disappeared. Ren followed behind quickly, not sure what else could be in the woods. When she came out the other end, Shanti was looking quite irritated. "this.is the Kokori Village?" Ren asked, very confused and lost. * Is THAT why they call it the lost woods?* "No! You dork-" "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU CALLED ME THAT! D'ya know what that MEANS?!" Ren, for the first time in a long time, exploded. "Tor- yeah, yeah I know what that means." *Who or what is Tor? That can't be a full name.*
"Anyway, we picked the RIGHT door" Shanti continued. "Yeah I know I told you to!" "No! Not THAT kind of right! We went through the right and it led us to more of the Forrest. If we had picked the left or straight tunnel we would've ended up in Kokori Village; those two were the wrong doors." Shanti explained. "Oh!"
They went through the right doors (a/n Zelda fans probably know which doors they are cuz they memorized them. I have just forgotten.^_^) twice more until they finally took a wrong tunnel and came out to see the Kokori Village. "Woah" Renzoku, who doesn't get out much, was amazed. "Yeah, it's like the attack of the kindergartners." Ren fell over. "I MEAN the SCENERY!" "INCOMERS!" one of the little elves shouted. Soon, about 20 little kids came running out of the huts, a blonde boy as their leader, with spears, rocks, and everything else that looked like it would hurt, yes, including forks.
(a/n: Once- Kirsty: JUST WRITE THE FRIGGAN STORY! IT'S LONG ENOUGH WITHOUT YOUR STORIES!)
"Aren't you going to fight them off with your sword, which you haven't used?" Ren asked Shanti as they stood atop the highest hill waiting for the Kokori to get them. (A/N: they have REALLY short legs. So do I but I can still run real fast cuz I swim and I'm short! ^_^) "They're too CUTE! I can't hurt them!" Shanti cried. "Vrrg." "Oh I get it! You thought I was insensitive and could kill them off like it was nothing!" "SHANTI!!!" By that time the Kokori had reached them. The blonde, who's name turned out to be Mido, whispered to another Kokori, who was Saria, "They're too cute! We can't hurt them!" "I know they're so tall! Except for the one on the right." which was Shanti. "She looks kinda like US."
"HEY! I AM an outsider! I.I'm just.short." Shanti looked sad. "Well, what do you want? If it's the Emerald, you most likely won't get it but you can talk to the Deku Tree.if you can get through us first that is." Ren noticed the scratches and cuts on their faces. *They must have already been fighting. Someone else must've tried to get it. I bet it was him.* "Ganondorf, I will get you." she whispered to herself. Shanti went all rigid. "Oh! I didn't mean you!" Ren exclaimed, thinking that maybe they had only heard the last part. "Oh, okay." Shanti replied, she had guessed what Ren thought Shanti had heard, but really it was the name that had scared her. She knew it from somewhere.but she couldn't remember where. All she knew was that it, the name by itself, frightened her. And when you even frear the name, you can only IMAGINE what fear you'll have of the thing itself.
Shanti's thoughts returned to the freak show of a mix of an M-rated Video game and Candyland's extras. Ren leaned over and said "It'd be better if we asked for something besides the emerald first..so it seems like it's not our first concern." Mido and Saria watched all this with interest. "You think they think we can't hear them?" Saria asked as Mido tapped his foot impatiently. "We can hear you, you know! We're short and mature; not old and stupid with bad hearing!" Mido snapped at Shanti and Ren, who had turned their facces towards each other and whispered back and fourth quietly. Both girls turned their heads at the same time. "We.uh.we wanted a." something caught Shanti's eye. But how couldn't it? Each of them that was owned by a Kokori was locked on her and Ren. "Faerie!" Shanti finished happily.
Ren gave her this odd look but considering the occasions she had given it to other people, nearly everything Shanti did should have gotten that look.
Kirsty: yeah right Mevy, then I wouldn't own Zelda either.pshaa! Like THAT is true! OH! By the way it's chapter FOUR, idiot! Mevy: IT IS! I mean the 'we own Zelda part!' Kirsty: Really? *Some men in business suits come up and whisper to her* It appears that we DON'T own Zelda. But you own Shanti. And I own Renzoku.
