WARNINGS: Yaoi! (If you don't know what this means, another word for it is Slash but to put it easily is Male/Male relationships) NCS! Sheik-torture. This is supposed to be SheikxLink but it won't be the first one. But don't worry; I'll get around to it eventually! And slight Zelda-Bashing!
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Zelda. Never have and never will so don't sue. Thanks!

Notes: Hi again! I'm back, so much gas been going on but I won't bore you too long with all my crap… I'm really, really sorry for taking so long in updating this story. I'm sure most of you thought I was going to be like some of those other authors who stop mid way with their stories and never finish them (don't you just hate that? I know I do, drive me utterly insane). I also have changed my name from Deathscythe Duo to Shinigami Soldier…I don't know why but I like this name more soo I changed it. Ok enough of my dribble and drabble, on the with story and I'm incredibly sorry if it sucks!

Oh one more thing, I've been getting some flames and such about how I apparently 'suck' because I think Sheik is a guy…I did ask for no flames and for those people who think I'm stark raving mad for thinking Sheik and Zelda are different people, screw you pal, we have different opinions. No offence meant to anyone!

May the peace be with you! (Ok I'm really sorry I couldn't resist)

Last Time

As he reached Sheik's prone form, he felt around his neck for a pulse. He sighed with relief before towing him back to shore. His pulse was strong, but very erratic. He never noticed the trail of blood following him…

Hyrule Castle

Link POV

I sat next to Sheik as I watched his chest go up and down with his breaths. I hadn't known where else to take him after finding him in the lake. The doctor said he'd been raped…I buried my face in my hands, almost crying every time I remembered that statement. My poor Shiek…

Flashback

"Oh LINK!" A high pitched squeal came from the front gates of the castle. I saw a pink blur race towards me, and I reluctantly turned to deal with Princess Zelda. "You're back! Have you saved Hyrule yet? Kiss me hello, Link! Link! Oh! Malon will be so jealous! I got to see you first! Did you get another horse? Who's on Epona's back?"

I vainly tried to shut her up. I had Fyruii tailing me because he wouldn't leave Shiek alone and well…Epona was the only horse I trusted enough to ride and have Shiek slumped over the back at the same time and as I vaulted off my faithful mare Shiek and slumped fully on her back, still unconscious.

I glared at the Princess willing her to curl up and die in a gutter or something… 'No wait…that's too harsh Link…' I wished she's just piss off!

Flashback End

That had been my welcome back and it hadn't been oh so welcoming in my opninion anyway. 'They need to learn who to say hello…'. I looked at the unconscious Shiekah again, sleeping in my room, on my bed…I'd been sleeping on the floor and my spine wasn't going to forgive me for a long time for this…Stone floors are NOT comfortable, despite what anyone says to you.

When I had had the doctor over to look over Sheik, he had told me that he didn't know how long Shiek would be asleep. It could take hours, day, months, years or possibly never. In other words he was telling me not to get my hopes up. I sighed, today had been the last day I could stay here and watch my beloved before I had to go back and continue to fight for Hyrule.

I got up and kissed Shiek softly before walking out the door, a tear slipping down my face and I pulled out my Ocarina to play Epona's song.

Shiek POV

I had remained at the castle for a long time, just recuperating while Link was around, fighting in the temples, killing random beasts and just in general saving Hyrule. I missed him terribly and wished he could have stayed, waiting for me to wake up.

I had just recently got back a report that Link had defeated the monster in the Water Temple. I had been ecstatic…I would no long be haunted by the dark spirit of that place though he would always be in my nightmares…I wished never to see him again and though I wouldn't in life…there was no telling when I died.

Princess Zelda was fussing around the stables when I whistled my stallion over. When he came into view his face and just general appearance was laughable. Zelda had apparently braided his mane and tail and he had pink in his mane and tail to boot. I snickered to the point I fell over and it felt like I was going to die from laughter.

Fyruii didn't seem all that amused though. I wonder why…

That night I returned to Impa's dwelling and stayed in hiding, to fearful to come out and do my duty of helping Link with the songs and temples. Impa did it all instead and each time the guilt ate away at me, and each time Impa came back with the same message from Link. 'I love you, Shiek and miss you…hope you are well, Link'.

I cried often, during those months. What he was hurt? Or killed? It was inevitable for something bad to happen to him. What is it was my fault? What if Impa missed something that I wouldn't have and he died because of it! In fact the only reason, it seemed, I stopped cry was when I found out that Link had done it; he had killed Ganondorf and he was trapped in the next realm, hopefully to never return.

Impa suggested I go to Hyrule to see him, congratulate him, seeing as he'd just conquered the most feared man in the land. I agreed with her, after all, I think in doing that, he deserved some sort of reward, or at least a decent welcome that didn't involve large amounts of squeaking and pink.

Link POV

I sat at Lake Hylia thinking, sadly. I hadn't seen Sheik in months…I thought he loved me, but obviously he didn't. I mean, if he did, wouldn't he have come to see me once in a while? And actually try to help me with the temples? Well since he didn't do any of that I assumed that he didn't want to see me anymore.

"Epona?" I called softly. I want something warm to hug, and if it was my mare, so be it; at least she was faithful and always there for me. She came over, snuffling in my hair gently. I got up and hugged her. Why did I care if Shiek didn't love me anymore?

'Because I love him…'

God, I loved him so much it hurt…and here he was, leaving me here with Princess Pink (or as I termed her, Pain-In-The-Ass). I heard hoof beats and I looked up, to see Shiek, astride Fyruii, both just standing there. "…Sheik?" I whispered softly. I was too scared that it was just my imagination and he would just leave soon.

He jumped off Fyruii and rushed over hugging me (more like strangling me) but I didn't care; I hugged him just as hard. "God, I thought you hated me…" "Never…I will always love you…" "Me too…" I whispered. I would do all I could to protect him, for he was mine…and no one was going to take him away from me ever again.

THE END
