Author Note: Since it doesn't sound conventional or, to be blunt, cool to call Dark Link 'Dark Link' all the time, I will be giving him a new name. Said name is going to be Dio.

Chapter Summary: Arriving in this new world, Link starts off on his journey to stop Soul Edge. Only, an unwanted some one has decided to tag along.

-Story Start-

Trudging a bit dejectedly through a forest was a young man clad in green. His metal shield clanked a bit as he walked, various hard objects, most of which were metal, bumping into each other. Once again, he had been dragged forth to solve the world's problem, all by himself. To top it off, he wasn't even in his OWN world, so had no idea how things worked, or what to expect. Growing deeper into a sulk, his previously 'sharp' senses dulled, the Hylian failed to notice some one approaching, or more accurately 'stalking', him until it was too late. SMACK! There was an explosion of white light in his vision as something collided with the back of his head, successfully knocking him out.

FUMP! Dio couldn't help but smirk as his lightly colored mirror image fell to the ground, out cold. He sighed, carelessly tossing the large rock in his hand that he had used into some bushes, which rustled at the intrusion. Lightly brushing some of his charcoal hair out of his eyes, the darker of the two padded over to Link, pulling out the hero's bow and looking at it with interest. He unhooked the bowstring and tossed the wood a few feet away, then proceeded to relieve the Hero of Time of his weapons.

-Later-

"Ugh…" Link groaned, cracking his eyes open as he woke up. The first thing to greet him was a pounding headache, making him quickly shut his eyes again. After a moment, which he took to adjust, he opened his eyes again, and came to terms with- the ground. He was lying on the grass, on his stomach. Wondering how he had gotten there, and what had happened, he proceeded to get up. Only to find that he couldn't. His arms were tied tightly behind his back. To verify this, he struggled against the bindings, and found they wouldn't budge.

"Well there, welcome to the waking world Blondie." Chided a voice strangely familiar. Just who this was became known as a face popped into Link's line of vision, upside down.

"Gah! What the hell are you doing here!" was the automatic reaction, Link struggling madly to stand and defend himself. It wasn't working. Dio smirked, retracting his head out of his doppelganger's line of vision, and plopping down comfortably beside him, using Link's body as a prop and leaning against it. He then frowned at how uncomfortable his make shift pillow was.

"You can stop struggling for two reasons: 1. That rope is not going to break because it is your own bow string, magically enchanted and the whole shebang-" Link gaped, half shocked and half insulted that his own bow string was being used to restrain him, his mouth opening and closing in some silent fury. "-and 2. I'm not here to kill you." That stopped Link's struggling, confused and trying to work this out.

"I don't believe you." He hissed. The only reason is seemed that Dio existed was to kill him, and this didn't add up. His accusation was met by an annoyingly whimsical sigh.

"I knew you'd say that. So before you start freaking out more, think; if I was here to kill you, why are you still alive?"

"Because you're twisted." Link snapped, earning a chuckle from his dark twin.

"Since you don't have anything better to do, how about you listen to my excuse before you start yelling at me again, kapeesh?"

"…"

"Ah good." Dio shifted around to get comfortable before starting, "As you know, I am essentially your opposite, mirror image, dark side, what ever you want to call it." He lazily waved his hand about to emphasize this, "However, I cannot live without you living, and I rather like living." He grinned as he said this, "Thus, I am here now to make sure you don't die." Dio finished and waited for the coming protest.

"I don't need you to baby sit me! I can take care of myself!" Link shouted, struggling again.

"Riiiight, so you meant to get knocked out by me so you could PURPOUSLY be in this situation?" Dio taunted.

"Shut up!" Dio rolled off of him, flipping Link onto his back and straddling his hips, leaning forward and resting his elbows lazily on Link's chest.

"Face it, if this is what you are like on a regular basis while traveling through here, you need my help." He hummed.

"No. I. Don't!" Link spat, squirming the best he could, but eventually giving up.

"Don't try to lie, you know you do." Dio sang.

"No I don't!"

"Yes, you do."

"Do not!"

"Do. Too."

"Not!"

"Fess."

"What?"

"FESS."

"NEVER!"

-10 Minutes of Arguing Later-

"I knew you'd see it my way." Dio grinned, rolling off of the hero and dusting himself off.

"You can only tag along, alright? Now untie me!" Link growled. Dio flipped him over and did so, tossing the bowstring over to Link's other weapons before padding a safe distance away. He wasn't worried; Link would keep his word and promise not to kill him unless Dio tried to kill him first.

After putting all his weapons and items in their respected places, the Hero of Time started to trudge away, and sulk. He didn't have to look back to know Dio was following, probably quite happily too. Link could tell this was going to be a LOOONG journey…

I need help with deciding who they should meet first, that's IF I actually decide to make this into a story, not a one shot. Chow!
