And thus the impatient youth said: Let's get started!

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Link looked at Kaze, quite bothered about a few things.

"What?" Kaze finally snapped, realizing the fairyboy had been watching him rather intently.

"Well," Link said and he gazed out across Hyrule Field. "I was wondering... two things." He turned his attention to Kaze.

"Spit it out before you choke on it," the thief said smugly, meeting Link's gaze.

"One, weren't we supposed to be there for Talon? And two... how did you know that that Mystus guy had stolen the damned thing? And did you really steal it in the first place?" Link asked.

"That was three questions," Kaze sneered and sighed. "First, let's make a campfire and warm ourselves up... then I'll tell you everything I know," he said as he pointed to a safe place for them to spend the night at.

&#&#&#&#&#&#&

Link sat down and looked at Kaze. "So, care to tell me what I need to know?" he asked.

"Well actually... It hurts to talk about it, but since you helped me out, I will," Kaze said as he hugged his knees to his chest and looked up at the sky.

Link could feel his friend was sad, and even though he did well hiding it, he himself felt sad too. He missed her...

"I am a Gerudo, yes, but I was only telling half the truth when I said I was kicked out. I'm banished, yeah, but not because I'm a boy. Anyway, there was a girl there, a girl who I always played with... She didn't seem too bothered that I was a boy," Kaze said quietly as his eyes followed the leaping flames of the campfire.

Link frowned slightly. 'This girl he's talking about... it couldn't... could it?' he thought. "Continue."

"Her name was Tadaka... although she went with the name Hieke after something happened and she found out that she was a Hylian and we Gerudos were thieves stealing from other people. The last time I saw... I was standing outside and she was leaning through the jail window talking to someone. I wondered who, but I was called away before I could go and see," Kaze said with a chuckle.

Links eyes widened, but the black-haired youth had not noticed it and continued his story.

"... It was the last time I saw her..." he said sadly. "After that she went on a journey... To save the world, to save Hyrule. And I, well let's say I had my own problems there. After a while, a disease struck the fortress, me as well... I survived, luckily," Kaze said with a shadow of what once was his trademark smirk.

Link was unable to say a thing. He was shocked into silence. Kaze had known Hieke?

"I had a somewhat... strong bond with her," Kaze continued, resting his chin upon his knees. "I don't know exactly what happened on her adventure, only that she was accompanied by a boy. But, I haven't heard of her since and... I decided to go find her. A week ago I reached the Zora's Domain."

Kaze sneaked through the majestic Domain of the Zorans. "Boy, am I glad no one could ever catch me," he said with a purely cocky demeanor.

"Whatcha doing?" a chirping voice suddenly inquired.

Kaze jumped around, startled, and looked right into the eyes of a fish-like girl. "Uh... Looking around?" he said and then noticed the bluish stone in her hand.

"How could you have entered without playing the song?" the fish girl replied, grabbing Kaze's hand. "You look cute, you know that?" she giggled.

'Great Din!' Kaze said in shock, looking at the fishgirl in horror. He had come here to find clues about Hieke, hearing rumours that she had passed through this Domain.

"Well?" the fishgirl asked with a smile.

"I... uh, have you ever heard the name Hieke?" he finally blurted out, wanting to get rid of the brat as soon as possible.

The younger fishgirl narrowed her eyes at Kaze. "Hieke, you say," she spat out.

Only for that Kaze had wished he could draw his sword and cut her in two. "Yes, Hieke," he retorted angrily. "What's wrong with the name? It's nicer then yours, I bet," he snapped.

"My name is Princess Ruto. As for the girl, yes, I saw her," she muttered with a slight trace of disgust evident in her voice.

Kaze's heart leaped with glee. "When? How long ago?" he inquired eagerly.

"No clue, and it's not like I care anyway. That tramp was hitting on MY fiance!" she huffed, looking at Kaze as a grin appeared on her fishy lips. "But you'd do well too."

Kaze raised his eyebrows at the fishgirl and got out of her grasp quickly. "Listen, br-- whoever you are, I am only here to find out where Ta-- Hieke went," he informed. He was still getting used to the fact Tadaka was now Hieke.

"Oh, have it your way! Go look around a bit. She was just a tramp and everyone shall say the same," the princess huffed and walked off. "Oh, and like I told you, my name is Princess Ruto, not 'whoever you are'."

Kaze cocked an eyebrow. 'Quite the rude one,' he thought, then noticed the sapphire-like stone on the ground. 'Did she drop it?' he asked himself with a smirk and picked the stone up, looking it over with a grin.

"I guess that means it's my now, doesn't it?" he said out loud and started to head for the exit. At least, he would have headed for the exit if it wasn't Hieke's name that kept booming in his head. She wouldn't have allowed this; after all, she didn't liked the fact Gerudos were no more but mere thieves.

He gave a deep sigh and shook his head, searching for the fish princess reluctantly. "YO, RUTO! SOMEWHERE HERE? I HAVE A SURPRISE!" he yelled while a couple of Zoras looked at him and noticed the stone in his hand.

"The Water Stone! Zora's Sapphire!" one of them shrieked.

'Bad move I guess...' Kaze thought while looking at the two Zorans. "Uh, look I am searching for this kid, about my height. She kind of lost this stone," Kaze explained, holding up the stone.

"Thief!" the other one squealed.

"What?" Kaze said in shock and took a few steps back. "Now look here! Would a thief bring his prize back?" he snarled.

"Thief!" they both said and glared at Kaze, ready to attack him.

"Oh, brother..." Kaze muttered, turning around and running off again in search of the Princess while the two Zora people pursued him.

Finally he saw her near the exit. In relief he tapped on her shoulder. "Yo, you lost somethin'. Here, Fish Princess," Kaze said, still trying to catch his breath, as he put the Water Stone in Ruto's hands.

Ruto blinked dumbly and looked from Kaze to the Stone. "Thanks!" she finally chirped, clinging onto him.

'Dear Farore, no...' he thought as he heard shouting voices coming near. "Uh, listen up here! I have to go Fishbrat!" he announced, trying to squirm out of her tight embrace.

Ruto's lower lip quivered. "You'll come back right?" she pleaded.

'Bloody hell I won't if it's up to me!' he thought as the shoutings grew louder. "Yes! Yes I will! Now let me go; I have to be leaving! Akumu is waiting for me!" he shouted.

"Okay, Kazy!" Ruto said contentedly as she let go of the surprised thief.

'Kazy!' Kaze thought in utter shock before shaking his head and running off to the exit, making sure those Zorans weren't still following him. "Well, she was here at one point, but where is she now...?' he thought, sighing, and went further into his journey.

Kaze finally looked at Link and saw the shock in his eyes. "Link? What's up?" he asked, surprised.

"H-Hieke... you knew Hieke," Link finally whispered, looking in Kaze's eyes.

Kaze narrowed his amethyst eyes at Link. "You must be the boy she traveled with!" he exclaimed.

Link only gave a meek nod, as though not believing what he had just heard.

"What happened to her?" Kaze cried out, grabbing Link's shirt collar in blind rage.

Link looked away. As good a friend Malon was, Hieke was and always would be the only one for him. "She... she..." He couldn't tell it. He just couldn't. It hurt too badly...

Kaze's eyes went from hopeful to hopeless in no time. "No..." he softly cried out, releasing Link. "Don't tell me she died... or something that way..." he murmured, looking at the ground and restraining his tears.

"Well, she..." Link looked up at the sky biting his lip. There were stars out, billions of them... "She sacrificed herself to save Hyrule..." he finally answered.

Kaze kept on staring at the ground, not noticing the tears trailing down his cheeks. "Oh..." he murmured.

Link looked at his friend and put an arm around his shoulder. "She'll be okay; we have to believe in her," he said comfortingly, wondering why Hieke had never spoken about Kaze before. Maybe she had all intentions to, but never got the chance.

"Sacrificed herself..." Kaze muttered and looked at Link. "Was she still the same girl? Still as cheerful as always?"

Link nodded with a pained smile. "She still is, Kaze... She'll come back.. one day..." he said with a deep sigh. "You'll just have to trust me on this... We both have to trust her."

Kaze closed his eyes, lying down on the dewy grass. "Unbelievable..." he muttered opening his eyes and looking at the star-streaked heavens. "Hieke traveled with you... and sacrificed herself..." More tears cascaded from his bleary eyes.

Link could see Hieke meant much to the thief.

"Seems she connects us," Kaze said with a slight chuckle, but his famous smirk was nowhere to be found.

Link shut his eyes tightly, also lying back upon the grass at Kaze's side. "So it seems," he sighed as he began to count the stars.

Kaze looked at Link. "Friends?" he offered.

Link smirked wearily. "I thought we already were," he chuckled, rolling his eyes.

And there the famous smirk was again. "Oi, I thought so too, but I could always check, eh?" he asked.

Link smiled and closed his eyes, folding his arms behind his head. "Yeah, I suppose," he said sleepily. "Oh, before I forget." He sat up and pulled something out of his pocket.

Kaze sat up as well and watched him, wondering what it was he didn't want to forget.

Link had something in his hand. Kaze's eyes widened when Link uncurled his fingers from the trinket, revealing the Moon Pendant. "...She left it... when she sacrificed herself," Link murmured quietly, putting the pendant in his hands. "I suppose you should carry it with you."

Kaze looked at the pendant, tracing over it with his fingers. "...She's still with us..." he whispered, reliving the images the pendant gave him. He stopped gazing through the images his powers gave him and looked at Link. "Not physically, but in our hearts."

Link bit his lip and nodded.

"As for the Moon Pendant... I think you should carry it with you 'til you meet her again. 'Til we meet her again," he said with a smile, putting the pendant back in Link's hands.

Link returned the smile and lay down again, looking up at the sky. "G'night," muttered, closing his eyes and clasping the pendant firmly in his hand so that no one could pry it away.

Kaze looked at Link for a short while, then took a deep breath and looked at the starry heavens. 'Hieke... I believe you'll come back,' he thought as he lied down as well and closed his eyes, letting the bliss of dreaming overcome him.
