A/n: Chapter nine, since I seem to have a habit for writing two chapters then posting them. I won't be here this weekend, but I plan on taking the note book so I can work on the story while I'm gone. Hopefully I'll have ten and eleven up for you guys soon. Thaks to all those who have reviewed so far and I urge those who read and don't review to atleast drop me a small note to let me know what you think of it. (Constructively please.)

Standard disclaimer applies.

Chapter Nine

The temple's entrance hadn't been too hard to locate, rather easy in fact. However, getting there served to be the problem. With a hoard of Deku Scrubs and Moblins at every turn, it proved to be annoying more then difficult. Soon enough though, they reached a set of stairsthat would lead them to the Forest Temple's entrance. After a quick stop at the fairy fountain that was.

Walking up ad taking care of a giant Moblin there, it wasn't long before they reached a gorgeous clearing. There wasn't much to it, a gossip stone by a huge tree, a warp pad and a stump. But it was it's simplicity that gave it it's charm. With the sun shinning so perfectly it was almost like a dream.

Link's sapphire eyes rested on the three stump, a thoughful frown on his handsome face. No doubt he could see Saria sitting on the old stump, just as she had been the last time he saw her. He couldn't help but wonder if she was okay, she was his best friend after all.

"No use dwelling on the past, Hero. Things change and Saria isn't here. In fact, I'm sure she needs your help."

As Sheik's voice, Link turned around finding the Sheikah beside Serenity. As if that wasn't bad enough, the bastard had his arm around her shoulders! What the hell was with this guy!

"You know where Saria is?" Link asked in a calm, even tone, trying to keep from exploding at the other male.

"Yes... and no. She's still here in the forest, however.." Sheik trailed off leaving Link to wonder what else there was to this. "Anyway, it's up to you, Link, to save her. Think you can handle it?"

At that, Link fumed. :"Of course I can! I'll save Saria!"His reply sent Sheik into chuckles, the Hero of Time certainly was eager.

"Very well then. To save you travel time, I'll teach you a song you can use to warp across Hyrule." Pulling out a small harp, Sheik stepped away from Serenity and began to play a few notes.

Ocarina of Time out and ready, Link began to play along, mimicing each note as neccessary. Within seconds they were playing a duet, Serenity entranced by the music. As soon as it came, it went and Link had learned a new song, the Minuet of Forest.

------------------------------------

"A new song for travel, he says," Link huffed as they once more trecked across Hyrule Feild.

After teaching Link the warp song, Sheik had left leaving Link and Navi to figure out the enterance to the Forest Temple. Of course it just happened to be several feet above their heads, which made entering now a bit on the impossible side. So, the trio had left to go find a way to get into the Temple and help Saria. Needless to say, Link was a little peeved.

"Makes traveling back and forth easy, he says.."

Okay, so maybe a little peeved was the wrong wording.

"That's all well and good, but where the hell do I go next!"
