Chapter Four
Link took a step back as the Sheikah took a step forward. "Are you scared young hero?" the Sheikah smirked.
"N...no..." Link stammered. "It's just that....well....why are you wearing those clothes?!" "I am Shuzaro, of the Sheikah Tribe. Why else would I wear Sheikah clothing?"
"What do you want from me?" Shuzaro drew a katana from the back of his shirt. "I have come to test you. Prepare yourself!"
Link grabbed his shield and got into a stance then charged at Shuzaro, swinging his sword downwards. Shuzaro quickly blocked, pushing his hand against the broad side of his sword to stop it from going down on his head. His sword was faster, but Link's was stronger.
The Sheikah slid to the side and swung his sword at Link. Link's sword was too heavy to react fast enough so he blocked with his shield then leaped at him, thrusting his sword at Shuzaro's chest.
He stepped to the side, but not quick enough to avoid being hit. He clutched his side as blood dripped from his wound. "Not bad rookie!" He laughed, and then lashed out with his sword, slashing at least ten times a second. But they weren't placed very well and Link blocked easily with his shield.
This guy was fast, but Link could beat him. Jumping right up into the air, he tossed his sword and shield behind the Sheikah, drew his bow and arrow then released an arrow, striking him on the shoulder.
Shuzaro growled in pain as Link landed behind him, and, picking up his sword, spun around and slashed Shuzaro in half diagonally. He sighed slightly and wiped blood off his sword onto the grass. He heard the snort of a horse and turned around quickly. Malon was staring in horror at what she had just seen.
She was on her horse with a black cloak around her. The red headed girl couldn't believe what she saw Link do! Almost to tears, Malon turned her horse around and rode off, before Link had a chance to stop her.
"WAIT! MALON!!" She was gone. Link looked down at the two half's of Sheikah laying on the ground in a pool of blood. He wasn't really sorry that he had killed this man in such an awful way. Of how many Zoras and Gorons they had slain, he felt no pity towards them.
But... Why the heck were the Sheikah killing these people!? This man even had the type of sword that the Sheikah used. And what was the strangest thing of all; All the Sheikah had died out somehow. So... how were they there?
----------------------
Malon rushed home, trying not believe she really saw what she saw. Link wasn't the kind of person to kill someone just like that! It didn't make sense to her. Who was the man he killed...? And why did he kill him so unmercifully? She just wanted to cry. Going up to her room she stuffed her face in her pillow and sobbed quietly so her father wouldn't hear her.
Unknown to her, outside her window, two shadows smirked a bit as they watched.
"This young one has feelings for the Hero of Time." The first said. "Does he return her feelings?" The second asked. "I am...not sure yet. But we must keep her in mind, for we may need to use her."
----------------------
The sun was just coming up as Link entered Kokiri Forest. He was drained from the fight and the long walk. The green-clad hero saw Epona eating grass next to his tree-house and guessed that there was where they put Miroku.
He reluctantly climbed the ladder and saw the young child sleeping soundly in his bed. Taking his shield and sword off, he collapsed to the ground. Link didn't care if it was hard; at least it was a place he could sleep without being attacked by a wandering Poe Ghost or Stalchild.
Link took a step back as the Sheikah took a step forward. "Are you scared young hero?" the Sheikah smirked.
