Rown: .::blushes::. Umm...

Rezu: Rown-kun, are you blushing? .::smirks::.

Rown: Wha-What?! .::looks away::. Why would I be blushing at you, Dummy?

Rezu: .::giggles::. Well now, Readers! Enjoy the Fic while I try to find out why Rown-kun is blushing!

Chapter Three

The Childish Fairy

Link and the human-sized, wingless Fairies walked through the tall grass of the Cougar Grasslands. Apparently, this was a shortcut to the Ancient Trirule Temple. For sure, Link's old friend Nayru could help them locate the evil Gornon and his father, Ganon.

"Link, are you sure we should be taking this route to the Trirule Temple? I've heard terrible rumors about the Cougar Grasslands..." Mezuno of the Flames spoke, hands in the pockets of her knee-length, pink skirt as she walked behind the Hero of Winds.

"Come on! Don't tell me you actually believe stupid, made-up stories told to scare people away from here! This is a quicker way for getting to the Temple!" the boy clothed in green replied, grinning in amusement.

"I'm not sure, Link..." Mezuno admitted, looking around.

"I think she's right... I'm pretty sure I heard about there actually being real Cougars in these lands... Giant ones with teeth that can rip the flesh from an adult human." Rezuna of the Ice Crystals said with a smirk.

Rezuna may have been the younger sister, but she was most serious and loved to scare the heck out of her older sister. And it seemed that she had, since Mezuno was now clinging to Link's arm and whimpering like a dog. The girl of Ice Crystals laughed at this, walking closer to the two and patting Mezuno on the head.

"I was just kidding, Sis! Like that'd happen anytime soon when we have our magic and Link's Steel Sword!"

Even though Rezuna was trying to reassure her big sister, it wasn't really helping.

"Rez! I swear it, if you scare me one more time, I'm going to kill you!!" Mezuno shouted in anger, letting go of Link and forming a Fireball in her hand.

That did it, Rezuna started to back off when she saw the seriousness in her sister's eyes.

"All right, all right! I'll stop!"

A low growl could be heard, Link stopped and looked back at the two girls behind him, blinking.

"I know you two are a bit mad at each other, but could you keep it down? Growling isn't going to get you anywhere..." he explained with bored, droopy eyes.

"Huh? I didn't growl..." Mezuno said quietly.

"And neither did I."

Link's eyes widened, his ears twitching at the sound of another growl coming from behind Mezuno. He gulped, stepping forward and taking her by the wrist. Pulling her away slowly, he whispered loud enough for them to hear.

"Run."

They screamed as the huge cat-like animal pounced, roaring. Link had barely pulled Mezuno out of the way on time, running off with Rezuna following behind them.

Rezuna's hands began to glow with sparks of magic flying around them, glass balls with ice powers in them appeared in the palms of her hands. She turned around, jumping up five feet and turning round and round as she did so. When she faced the giant Cougar, she threw the two balls at it. The glass would break and the ice froze the monster in place, it was nothing but an ice sculpture now.

Link and Mezuno had fallen down, Link lying beside the Fire Fairy. Link looked back at Rezuna and the frozen Cougar, sighing in relief. He got up; dusting himself off and helping Mezuno back up.

"Well, that was as close as close can get..."

"You can say that again!" Mezuno said, shivering.

"Hey, this thing's not so tough when it can't move..." Rezuna spoke, floating in mid-air by the Cougar's face.

She used her clawed finger to poke the Cougar in the nose, making the whole ice sculpture break into little tiny icicles. The Cougar was, literally, broken. She laughed, slapping her forehead in amusement.

"I can't believe it! All I did was poke it, and look what happened!"

Link sweatdropped, laughing nervously. "Come on, Rez. We've gotta get going!"

"Aww... And it was just starting to get funny fun..." Rezuna mumbled, gloomily following the boy in green and her older sister walk toward their destination, the Trirule Temple. "I hope there's something to do once we reach the Temple, this is boring..."

"Rezuna, you're so naïve... Fighting isn't always fun! You could get hurt! Or worse, you could get killed!" Mezuno shouted. "But I guess you're just too young to understand that right now!"

Rezuna glared at her sister icily, looking to Link for back up, only to see him shake his finger at her.

"Na-ah-ah... I agree with Mez, you have to start being more responsible... Or else you'll have to learn the hard way..." was Link's word of advice to Rezuna.

Little Miss Ice Crystals stuck out her tongue and looked away from the both of them as they all continued walking through the tall grass.

"Being responsible my foot..." she mumbled under her breath, her eyebrow twitching before she yelled. "And I'm not a little kid anymore! I can take care of myself, thank you!"

She stopped and looked the other way, arms folded.

"And I'll prove it... I'm going to find Gornon before either of you two does! And I'll be the one to kill him!"

Mezuno stopped and turned around, only in time to see Rezuna disappear into a puff of blue smoke. But her voice rang through the area.

"I'm gonna find Gornon all by myself! And I'll be the one to kill him first! Good Riddens!!"

Sighing, she shook her head. "Children these days... All they want to do is get into trouble..."

"Come on, Mez. She'll turn up sooner or later, but now, we have to go find Gornon and Ganon." Link reminded, continuing through the grass.

Mezuno nodded and followed after him, running to catch up with him.

Rown: Heh... Don't you always?

Rezu: .::smiles and nods::. I guess so! .::eyes narrow slightly as a devious smirk appears on her face. She walked up to Rown and put a finger under his chin::. But my question is... Did you like it?

Rown: .::gulps and nods with a blush::. Ye-Yeah! Of course I did! This had more action than I thought it would have!

Rezu: .::giggles::. Look at you... You're turning red again...

Rown: N-No, I'm not! You must be imagining things! .::turns even redder::.

Rezu: Haahaa... You're doing it again... .::looks to the Readers with a wink::. I'll get it out of him, sooner or later! But now, it's the end of the chapter!

Rown: Re-Rezu-sama? C-Could you please remove your finger from my chin?
