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

Link's eyes widened when he saw the shadow in front of him. He wanted to draw his sword, wasn't it for the fact his sword was gone. He quickly glanced behind Dark Kaze to see his young thief of a friend lying there with a open wound. He gritted his teeth glared at Dark Kaze.

"I asked you somethin'. Are you ready to die?" Dark Kaze repeated, also noticing Link didn't have a weapon with which to defend himself.

Link narrowed his eyes. "Go to hell," he spat.

"It would be my pleasure, but not now," Dark Kaze grinned.

Kaze opened his eyes to narrow slits and grimaced in pain. 'I can't let him win...' he told himself, looking up and seeing his darker half ready to kill Link.

Kaze tigthened his grip around his sword's hilt, slowly standing up with a dangerous look sewn into the fabric of his face.

'One thing, my dark side does not quite understand,' he thought and readied himself for one last outburst of his anger and pain, 'is that I am not one to give up that quickly!' He ran towards the shadow and leaped into the air.

Dark Kaze looked behind a moment too late and received a sword right through his chest. Both the boys fell to the ground, Kaze lying across his darker half. "I guess..." he muttered, letting his trademark smirk fall upon his lips. "I guess you were the goner here."

Dark Kaze's eyes widened in shock when the pain jolted through his body. "Curse you... halfblood," he hissed with a pained grin.

Kaze narrowed his eyes and ripped his sword out of his dark half. "What... do.. you mean... by that, shadow?" he demanded with a threatening glint in his eyes.

His darker half only gave a stifled laughter as he almost choked on his blood and looked at Kaze. "You'll find out... eventually," he whispered, the life leaving him and turning his once blazing eyes to stones. "You win; I admit it... but... this battle... was nothing compared... to the battle that is yet to come..." He smirked one last time before closing his eyes.

Link looked at Kaze in shock. "Kaze?" he whispered.

Kaze looked up wearily and gazed at Link's sapphire eyes. "I... I'm... okay..." he muttered and blacked out. Link caught him as he fell and set him on the floor carefully.

"Damn, Kaze..." he whispered, examining the wound. "How are we gonna get out here...?"

"Kaze can't swim in this condition... and I can't take him... Wait, the ocarina!" Link remembered, grabbing his instrument and playing the Serenade of Water. They vanished a flurry of blue light.

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

The Zoran girl looked up in shock when she saw the two boys appear on the shore of the island and was even more shocked when she saw one of those boys was badly wounded.

Link looked up at the Zora girl. "Do you have medicines? Or bandages?" he asked hopefully.

The girl nodded and whispered something to her boyfriend, then walked over to Link. "Here. Is he okay?" she asked worriedly as she handed the bandages over to Link.

Link grimaced and looked at Kaze's pale face. "He'll make it... he's a fighter," he said as he bandaged the wound, though it was more for his own assurance than the girl's. 'What did his dark half mean with that? 'Halfblood'...?' Link thought as he looked at Kaze and, when his work was through, stood up to see Akumu and Epona standing on the shore of the mainland.

"Can I do something?" the girl asked as she bit her lip, looking from Kaze to Link.

"Yes, there is. Do you have medicines here somewhere? Maybe I can fix his wound," Link requested.

The zoran girl shook her head. "I am sorry. I have none. The boy is a Gerudo, right? Maybe the Gerudos can help?" she offered.

"I suppose it's worth a shot... Hey, you're a swimmer, correct?" Link asked. The Zora nodded in confusion. Link asked if she could carry Kaze on her back to the mainland, which she hastily agreed to. She was happy to help in any way possible.

When they reached the shore, Link thanked the Zoran girl and gave a deep sigh as he put Kaze on Epona. He made sure the unconscious boy wasn't going to fall off, then climbed on. "I hope they can help... If they won't kick us out... or kill us," he grumbled and looked at Akumu. "Are you gonna follow us?"

Akumu gave a whinny and walked over to Link, pushing his muzzle against Kaze's blood-streaked face.

Link looked down. "Don't worry, Akumu," he said, caressing the stallion's head. "Kaze'll be okay."

Akumu whinnied softly and looked back at the Zoran girl who, in turn, looked at Kaze and Link. "Thanks!" she called, waving.

Link looked back and faked a smile. "It was no problem!" he said, although he knew it was all thanks to Kaze that they were both still alive.

Epona started to gallop towards the fence and bounded over with Akumu close by.

Link patted his mare and made absolutely sure that Kaze wouldn't fall before setting his gaze on the place they had to go. "Gerudo Valley..." he said to himself, then urged Epona forward.

Akumu snorted in disbelief when he noticed which way Epona was going but followed them nonetheless.

Link took a deep breath and looked at the entrance to the fortress. "There we go, nice and easy," he said comfortingly as he guided Epona over the bridge. The chocolate mare was terrified to death of falling into the gorge.

Akumu whinnied, wanting Epona to stay away from that place but eventually followed them with a soft snort.

"I just hope... they can help..." Link whispered, not wanting to lose yet another friend.
