Nayru Authors Note: Hello guys! I finally finished Ch. 6! It's about meeting another character and stuff... My hand hurts, and my stomach growls, since I write these by hand first... **Passes out**

Dark-Writer Authors Note: Nayru is such a dramatic person... don't worry about her. Actually. She is quite a poet... as I... erm... I mean... Anyway. I might be putting up some poetry by yours truly, and Nayru. If you want to see some of my personal works (Fan fiction wise), my pen name is Dark-Writer. Its mostly Harry Potter, though. But if you wish to read some of my poetry, my pen name is Fear's Enemy on Fiction Press. We will put up some of our poetry there as well... And as you all know, I am the one that has to type up these hand-written chapters. They are all pre-written up to chapter 11. I guess you would see more updates when we break that barrier... wont you? Toodles, and enjoy!

Suggested Tune: Kakariko Village.(Orchastrated) Nayru is such a die-hard Zelda fan..

Chapter 5 – The Long Lost Friend

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

Saria motioned for Kira to enter the house. While Kira sat, Saria patched up link and fed him a potion to drink. Link quickly gulped it down and laid on the bed next to Kira and told Saria what happened from the beginning of this tell-tale adventure.

After only a while though, Link became quite drowsy and decided he was going to rest. As Link walked out of the room, Kira stood up and watched Saria walk out into the Lost Woods... Again. Kira was about to leave when "Can you stay here with me?" drifted from the other room.

Kira wasn't surprised. She answered, maybe a bit too quickly, "Of Course!" She took off Link's hat, and cot a bowl of hot water. She slowly dipped a small cloth into it and placed it on Links forehead. Link had caught a fever from the cold weather, and she ran her fingers through his hair, and looked at his face, and noticed it was in pain.

'None of this would've happened if I refused to go with him.' Kira thought, just as Maria came out of her hat.

"It's wasn't your fault. This would have happened even if you were here, or not... If you weren't here, this might have been a lot worse!"

"You were reading my thoughts?!" exclaimed Kira, who was just a bit annoyed by this intrusion of the only thing she found safe, now - a - days.

"Well, Yes. All fairies are supposed to do that to make their partner more comfortable and confident again." Maria replied.

"Oh... well... Okay... But you can't tell anyone what I think... deal?" Said Kira, with an apologizing tone.

"Deal."

The next day, Link woke up around 10 A.M. and found Kira still asleep. Navi was sleeping on Kira's lap, and Maria was on her head. Link got up and walked over to Kira and shook her very gently. "Wake up... sleepy head, we've got to go get supplies and leave for..."

"Leave for where?" Said Kira, jolting awake. "Hey! You aren't supposed to be out of bed."

"Firstly, Its a surprise to see you are this jumpy... and Secondly, I feel much better, thank you!" Link answered approvingly. Kira blushed at this. They went to the supply shop in the village and bought arrows, deku nuts, bombs, potions, and a little surprise from the shop keeper himself.

On the way out, Kira asked Link, "What was that the Shop keeper gave you?"

"Oh nothing, really."

Kira looked at him suspiciously, but questioned him no more. They walked towards the tunnel out to Hyrule field slowly. Things were a bit awkward and quiet. As they exited over the bridge, they saw Saria sitting in a branch, in the Lost Woods, below.

"Be careful, Link..." Saria said. She quickly jumped off the branch and onto another. IN seconds, she was on the bridge. "Don't forget..." Saria started, but then saw Kira.

"Uh... Kira... Could you give us a moment?" Kira looked hurt, but walked over, since it was Links asking.

"Now, Link." Saria started, in a hush, hush voice. "Don't forget what the prophecy read. Remember what could happen if she..." Saria's eyes shot over to Kira, and flickered back to Links, "If she is captured or taken."

"I know Saria!"

"Listen, I read more though!" This caught Links attention. He never read a lot of the prophecy. "It says the Hero of Hyrule, that's you, would meet someone important on his tales. No, not Sheik, or Zelda (They are the same person, you know!), And not Malon either... Listen... It said this person could be your worst enemy, or your best friend... Link... don't you remember.. Ca-"

"Don't bring her up! She is gone... I don't know if she is even alive anymore..." Link looked a bit dazed... he could remember the last time he looked in Her eyes...

Flashback

-------

"Ca-" A single finger was placed on Links lip. They stood under a small weeping willow.

"Shh..." She cooed to him. They stood under the willow as a slight wind blew. The only light that night was the moon in the sky. "Link... I won't forget you, ever..." Tears were flowing down Her cheeks.

"What are you saying..."

"Link... I- I-... I have to go..."

"What?"

"Link, I. Love. you. Don't forget that. You are always are going to be the one. I need to go... I can't stay."

"Why?!"

"Link... Don't make this any harder then it needs to be."

"No! Ca-"

"Hush... I must go... I am... ... ..." A flash of lightning cracked in the sky, and she was gone, leaving the final word hung in the air. ...sorry...

"She is gone." Link said, pulling away in disgust. She left him so long ago.. for what? He wouldn't know...

"She may be gone, but never her spirit. Kira!" Kira jumped up and walked over. "Link and I have just discussed and agreed upon you being able to have this. (This of course, was a lie. Link never talked about it...) "Here." Saria placed a blue ocarina in her hand.

Kira didn't know what to say, so she gave a friendly hug. After the good-byes, the two Hylian ran out into the last tunnel. Epona's tune was played softly, and as Link mounted all he could think about was Saria's words... But the girl was gone... It was now time to make room for his next chance... Kira. She was what he had now... Beautiful Kira.
