A/N- God I'm shooting out these chapter like bullets. AGHH. I want to tell you that I wrote this entire chapter and then my brother friend erased it so this is why it is a bit late. bows in apology

Also I want to tell you that I realize I skipped a whole chunk of the Spirit Temple but you have to understand that it was very late at night. TT Anyway, sorry for the cliffy...here is the rest of it.

Layla watched in horror as the Hero Of Time fell to the floor, a huge wound bleeding profusely. The Iron Knuckle grunted it approval and resumed it seat in the throne. Layla shuffled over to Link on her knees and checked for a pulse. No pulse.

"So that's it, then? He's dead? ...Not like I care or anything. I just have to find a way out of this stupid temple." She said indignantly as a stubborn tear she had failed to fight back rolled down her cheek. She was about to stand up when a small light came from Link's bag and emerged. It circled his head and then his wound, closing it, his ripped tunic exposing part of his well toned stomach. The fairy shrunk until it disappeared and Link sat up.

"Ugh...damn. That hurt. And now I need a new tunic." He said.

"A fairy..." Layla said softly.

"O'course, Layla. What, did you think I'd travel without one? Did you miss me?" he smirked. Layla scowled and slapped Link across the face.

"DON'T YOU EVER EVER EVER SCARE ME LIKE THAT AGAIN YOU BASTARD! YOU TELL ME WHEN YOU HAVE A FAIRY!" she yelled shaking his head back and forth. When she finally took her hands away, Link shook his head.

"You never asked...ow...now I'm dizzy as well."

"Whatever. Go kill the Iron Knuckle because it's not dead." She ordered him.

"Yes ma'am!" Link said, saluting jokingly. He walked over, his sword drawn, and then poked the Iron Knuckle as if tagging it. It woke up and swung it's axe violently, but Link ducked and jabbed outward with his sword, hitting the Iron Knuckle straight in the stomach. It fell over and disintegrated into blue flames. Layla came out from behind the pillar then, and walked up next to Link.

"Uh. Good work." She said. Just then, the barred door behind the throne finally opened and Link walked through it along with Layla. They headed down a hallway and through a door to the tiny hand of the colossus, holding a chest. Layla stared down. "Oh god...we are so high up... Oh Three Mighty Goddesses who created the earth keep me safe from harm. Oh Three Mighty Goddesses who created the earth keep me safe from harm. Oh Three Mighty Goddesses who created the earth keep me safe from harm. Oh Three Mighty Goddesses who created the earth keep me safe from harm." Layla continued repeating the prayer.

"COOL!!!" Link cried suddenly. Layla's face snapped towards him.

"IT MOST CERTAINLY IS NOT COOL!" she screamed.

"No, I mean look! Cool! I got's me a shiny new mirror shield!" he said. He took off his own shield and held it out to Layla, almost meekly. "Wanna use this one?" he asked considerately as Layla looked down at him. She picked it up out of his hands.

"Sure, I guess I could pawn it off SOOOOOOMEBODY." She said, mischief in her voice. "Link, the very Hero of Hyrule used this sheild! It's very valuable!!!" she said fakely. Link laughed.

"OH MY GODDESSES!! LINK? HE'S SUCH A HOTTIE! ILL GIVE YOU 800 RUPEES!" Link took on a high-pitched tone and held out an invisible money back.

Layla snorted. "In your dreams. Hardly any of the Hylian girls see you, you're always on your QUEEEEEEEEESSST!" Layla mocked. "Why don't you take a break once in a while?"

"I'll have you know I just got BACK from Kakariko Village! The Shadow Temple was there! And so was the fire temple so I'm sure many of the girls there know who I am! Or at least have seen me! I'm sure lots of them have crushes on me!!" Link smirked.

"No they do not!" Layla retorted, blushing in anger.

"What's that" Is that a blush? Oh my, Layla, does that make you jealous? Is it frustrating for you that I have soooo many girlfriends? Hahaha!" Link mocked.

"Who...who really cares? Not ME!" she huffed. She turned around. "Let's go, alright? The sooner we get out of here, the better."

"Okay..." Link said. Layla thought that she detected a bit of discontent, but then she cleared her mind and determined that she was imagining it. That's it. Imagining. She needed to spend less time with Link, that's all.

Layla and Link tromped back through the hall and all the way back to the room with the switch and the four armos. Link carefully avoided the murderous statues and began to examine a sun symbol on the wall. Layla followed behind him and benumbedly walked into a circle of sunlight which lit the room. The gold band on her arm caught the sun and made a square of light that shone around on the wall. It shone upon the sun symbol for the moment and that part of the sun sybol begun to move, but only for a second. Link turned towards Layla.

"Move."

"What? No! It's cold in here and the sun feels nice!"

"Layla, that's just it, the sun! You've inspired me! Can you move now?"

"Inspired you? ...Okaaaaaaaaaayyyy...Layla stepped out of the circle of sunlight slowly, at the same time keeping her distance from Link. When the hell had she ever inspired anyone before? And what exactly did he mean by that?

"Yes! I did it!" Link said as the sun symbol opened it's eyes and smiled, it's rays rotating in opposite directions, one behind the other.

Oh. That. Layla trudged behind Link as he walked through the previously barred door to a small key. Link picked up the small silver key and walked out of the armos room with Layla following behind. They walked into a room with three Anubis and a maze of thin walkways. An anubis rose right in front of Link and Layla and Layla made a retching noise.

"Ew! What the FUCK is that?" She clutched Link's shoulders and her nails dug into his nerves.

"OWW! Could you let go? I'd like to keep my sword arm, thank you."

(Fun Fact: Link is left handed, just like me! Play OoT and you'll notice that. Hehe I feel so special. Yeah that's right you RIGHT HANDED people. Us HEROES are left handed. :D )

"Oh, right. Sorry." Layla let go and asled again. "What are those things?" She pointed around the room, as two more anubis had sprung up around them.

"They are Anubi, Layla, basically nasty little creatures that copy my movement, but oppositely. They won't touch you if you stick close to me. Come on." Link waved a hand and Layla walked as close behind him as she could, without touching him. As they walked the length of one of the narrow stone walkways, Layla saw what Link had meant. Link moved left, the Anubis moved right. He moved forward, the Anubis moved back. Layla scowled. Worthless creatures, really. Like the tonsils of Hyrule. [XDD you have to admit, that's good]

Link walked toward a door across from the door that they had come through and unlocked it, the door raising and allowing him entrance. Link and Layla were now in another dark room and two beamos were on top of some short pillars. Link bombed them and quickly took out his bow and arrow to shoot down the skullwalltullas on the wall in front of them. The VERY TALL, shifting wall. Layla had frozen among seeing this. Link brought out his longshot again and instructed Layla to grab onto his waist again as he aimed toward a very high point on the wall.

"What? Are w-we going up there? Link, you know I am not good with heights. Please, please...let's just...find another way?"

"There is no other way and you know that Layla. Now come on, it'll be over so fast you wont be able to say 'Nabooru'." Layla cautiously grabbed tighly onto Link's waist and he let go of the trigger, the chain flying up and dragging them with it.

"AAAAAGGGHHHHHH!!" Layla screamed on the way up. Just as suddenly as it had started, the terrifying trip through the air had stopped, and they were on a ver high part of the wall, shifting around dangerously. Layla hung onto Link's belt as he climbed up to the top of the wall, Layla swinging up before him and standing shakily in front of the next door, helping him up and waiting as he tightened his poor, abused belt.

"Right. Next door, then?" He asked.

"Yeah. Next door..." Layla said in a zombie-like state. They entered a large room with many door and a ring of fire, accompanied by many Torch Slugs. Link destoryed them along with Layla who repeated "Ew." Many times as the slugs melted away much like the Like-like did. Link walked along the wall, knocking the walls for a hollow sound. He finally found one next to the ring of fire and bombed the door.

"Stand back, Layla." He said as he flung out an arm and backed up with her as the bomb exploded. A cave appeared where the door had just been, and Link walked into the cave and stepped on a switch, making a block appear.

"Couldn't you have just...er...opened the door?" Layla said, confused.

"Well, no actually. You see, those were enchanted doors, Layla, and basically, if you try and open them, they do this really creepy 'Ooh look at me I'm ALIIIIIVE' movement and then smash you." Link explained.

"Oh." Layla moved cautiously away from the door she has beforehand been standing next to and watched as Link hookshotted up to the floating block and hit the switch on it.

"Layla!" Link called down from his post. Layla looked up. "Unfortunately, this switch it timed, and I'm afraid I won't get down there in time before the flames rekindle! Could you get the chest for me?" he requested. Layla nodded and ran towards the chest and opeed the blue and gold wooden box, pulling out arather large and heavy gold key with a ruby in the middle of the handle. She walked out of the vicinity of the chest as Link jumped down and landed, catlike, next to her. He held out his hand and took the key from Layla, stuffing it into his pocket.

Link looked around and found an unenchanted door and they went through it and up a staircase where Link stood yet again on a symbol of the Triforce and played the ocarina again, the door unlocking and allowing them through. Link and Layla wandered through the door and into a room with a crystal switch behind bars. Link held his sword back and the room seemed to darken as the sword drew light around it. Link let loose with a yell and spun around voilently, amazingly hitting the switch and causing the bars to raise. They entered a door and emerged in a room that seemed a bit too quiet. Link walked to the center of the room and two mutant lizard-like things srang up from seemingly nowhere. Layla screeched as one came toward her and grabbed her scythe from Link's outstretched hand before he had to defend himself against the other one.

Layla and Link fought against the horribly Lizalfos for a while, Layla finally defeating hers by flipping over it and plunging her scythe, into it's back, it disappearing with a very high jump like she did in the Gerudo's hideout, and Link defeating his with a jab to the stomach, his disappearing the same way. Layla bent over, her hands on her knees, and panted. Link came over to her and wiped his forehead.

"Quite the workout, eh?" he commented. Layla was still out of breath so all she could do was nod. Link stood up. "When you're done, we can move on. Layla stood up and shook her head.

"I'm fine now." She said, although still a bit on the gasping side. "We can go." They walked through a door and there was a mirror inside. Link looked around it for a while and decided there was really nothing he could do. He walked around the room, feeling the walls again and listening for a sound. Layla helped this time, and when she couldn't really find anything, she kicked the wall in frustration. The kick echoed, surprisingly. Link rushed over to Layla and knocked on the part of the wall she just kicked. Layla stood back as Link planted a bomb and the wallk exploded, revealing a path for the mirror reflections to pass through the bars. The stream of light from the mirror shone through the bars and a chime sounded. Link and Layla shrugged and exited to a very large room with a sun symbol and a giant statue of an ancient Gerudo.

Link jumped across to a hanging stone platform and shone light onto the sun symbol with his mirror sheild and Layla jumped on right before the sun symbol activated and the platfrom lowered. Link aimed more sunlight onto the statues face and it disintegrated. Layla once again latched onto Link around his shoulders and he hookshotted to the chainlink remains of the face and Link took out the boss key to enter the area behind the face.

"Oh GOD!" Layla moaned when they entered.

That's the end of the chapter! Review please! Next chapter will be an eventful one indeed!
