Kaze appeared next to a red-headed girl and looked at her. "Hey, you're Malon right?" he asked hopefully.
The girl looked back and nodded. "Yes, but you're not Fairyboy," she replied.
Kaze slapped his forehead with a sigh. "Dontcha worry; Link is coming here too. Firstly, let's get you outta here!" he suggested.
Malon nodded and stood up, smoothing the wrinkles from her skirt. "That's okay with me, but I don't think that man will let us," she said calmly, pointing behind Kaze.
Kaze twitched and turned around to meet Kinan's eyes.
Kinan gave a vicious smirk. "Why, hello there, son," he said maliciously.
Kaze's clenched hands trembled while he glared at Kinan fiercely. "You aren't even worth being my father," he spat angrily.
"But alas, I am," Kinan laughed.
Malon looked from Kaze to Kinan.
"Why did you need this girl?" Kaze hissed.
"Quite simple. The girl has a pure heart, and to release the darkness in this world, I had to have it in my hands," Kinan said with a smirk and showed a golden glowing ball in his hands. "And now, this world is doomed,"
"I won't allow that," Kaze stated and walked over to Kinan, a determined glint in his amethyst eyes. "Hyrule is my home, the place I grew up, the place in which I made friends and had adventures. I won't let you destroy such a beautiful place,"
"You cannot stop me on your own, foolish boy," Kinan spat, looking at Kaze in disgust.
Kaze only smirked at this comment. "Now, who said I was alone?" he asked, snickering. "I am not alone. I got my friends behind me: Link, Hieke, everyone I met,"
Kinan narrowed his eyes standing up and facing Kaze. "You insolent brat, to even think you have a chance beating me."
Kaze cocked his head. "It's not just a chance. I'm definitely going to beat you!" he shouted and threw a fireball.
"Bah, futile!" Kinan hissed, throwing the fireball back.
Kaze avoided it and the fireball hit the wall.
"You do not get it, my son. Your powers are nothing compared to mine; you'll never beat me alone," Kinan said with a barking laugh.
Kaze's eyes flushed gray. "I told you, I'm not alone," he said with a mixture of his own voice and Mystus'.
Kinan narrowed his eyes. "You wouldn't..." he hissed, recognizing the voice.
"Oh but we would, daddy dear," Kaze smirked and stood up, a bright light starting to surround him. "Malon, get away from here. Find Link and get away from here," he said, his eyes not leaving Kinan.
"What about you?" Malon asked worriedly.
Kaze pointed his hand towards Kinan and the golden ball appeared in his hands. "Me? I'm gonna be perfectly fine," he assured and tossed the orb towards Malon, back to its owner.
Malon blinked surprised when the golden ball was absorbed through her skin and finally smiled gratefully at Kaze. "Be careful, thief," she said gently and ran off to find Link.
"How dare you!" Kinan shouted angry.
Kaze looked at him calmly. "I already dared. What now, daddy dear? Gonna cry?" he taunted as he concentrated and a golden aura started to surround his hands.
"You will never beat me! Not even with that other brat's powers! I will not allow it!" Kinan screamed, a black glow enveloping his own hands.
Kaze looked at the ground, remembering everything he did with his life: his friends and joy, Hieke and Link... Finally he looked straight into Kinan's eyes. "You'er through," he stated and fired a golden beam towards Kinan, who, in turn, fired a black beam.
The two beams collided in the middle.
&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&
Dikai looked up when she saw the golden flash in the sky and cried out for Linna.
"I know, Dikai..." Linna murmured, looking outside as tears cascading from her deep amethyst eyes.
"We have t--" Dikai stopped when she saw Linna's face.
"We cannot do a thing, Dikai. We have to trust him... He'll... he'll be okay..." Linna said softly, more to comfort Dikai than to tell the truth.
Dikai clenched her teeth and looked at the ground. "Tell me I'm dreaming..." she finally whimpered.
Linna looked at the brown-haired girl and shook her head. "No, you're not, but I wish you were," she whispered.
&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&&#
Akumu whinnied loudly and tried to break loose from the girl holding him. "Hooo, easy there, easy!" the Gerudo girl said comfortingly and looked up at the sky with a frown.
Epona whinnied as well and nuzzled her head against Akumu's.
"Hey, what's up with the sky?" the second Gerudo girl asked.
"I dunno... Geez, strange things sure have been happening here lately. First Hieke disappears, then that disease hits, then Kaze goes, and now the sky," the first one sighed.
The second frowned and thought a bit before finally setting her gaze on the sky. "Um, maybe this has something to do with Kaze?" she offered.
They both looked at each other. "Kaze?" they said worriedly.
Akumu whinnied again and shook his head, as if demanding the girl let him go, and looked back up at the sky.
&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#
Princess Ruto frowned looking up at the sky. "Hey, that's strange! I don't think the sky is supposed to be all gold like," she said out loud.
She blinked and pouted. "And Linky and Kazy both lef--... Maybe Linky and Kazy are doing this!" she gasped, looking back at the sky.
"Linky better not get hurt! He's my fiance!" she cried out angrily.
&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&
Link and Malon collided with each other and both landed on the ground with a thud. "Ow!" they both cried out rubbing their bottoms.
"Fariyboy?" Malon asked, surprised.
"Malon?" Link asked, looking at Malon.
"It is you!" Malon said and hugged Link tightly. "I am soo glad your okay!"
Link blinked a few times and finally gave a hug back before letting go and looking in her eyes. "Did you see a black-haired boy!" he asked worriedly.
Malon put a finger against her chin and her eyes grew wide. "Oh... So that boy did belonged with you! He told me to leave, find you and go away from this place," she stated with a nod.
"No..." Link said softly and ran over the way Malon came from.
"H-hey! But he told us to go away from here! Are you gonna be okay Fairyboy?" Malon yelled in concern.
"I'm gonna be fine!" Link called over his shoulder and ran further, worried about his best friend, the young thief.
"If you say so, Fairyboy..." she said softly and made her way to the exit.
'Kaze...' Link thought, half in fury and half in worry.
&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#
Kinan growled in frustration when he noticed his beam was losing against the lighter one. "This cannot be! No one is stronger then me!" he cried out in anger.
Gold invaded Kaze amethyst eyes. "Everyone has to lose at one point. There'll always be someone stronger then you," he stated angrily.
"Beaten by my own son," Kinan spat out seeing that he had already lost this battle. "Are you gonna kill me now? Do you have the courage?"
Kaze lowered his eyes. Every fiber of his being told him to kill him, but he pitied the man. "Since you ask that nicely," Mystus' voice interrupted, and when Kaze looked up his eyes were half gray, half gold.
"You, the son I abonded," Kinan muttered fiercely.
Kaze smirked. "Since you ask so sweetly, I will kill you." And with that said he forced the beam towards Kinan with everything he had in him, he felt his very life being drained away from his body. "I shall not let you do whatever you want with Hyrule!"
Kinan screamed in anger when the beam hit him and sent him spiraling into oblivion.
"Kaze!" Link cried out running towards the boy and stopping dead in his tracks when he noticed the white aura had not left him yet. "Kaze..." he said more quietly.
Kaze lowered his eyes and finally looked up at Link, his eyes back to half amethyst half gold, with his trademark smirk. "Told you we could beat that creep," he said weakly as he started to fade.
Link shook his head and took a few steps towards the young thief. "Kaze, don't!" he pleaded.
Kaze sighed. "Could you imagine this? Here I am, all saving the world and stuff, and all I wanted to do was find Hieke," he said with a meek chuckle. "But I had fun with you, Link. I'll never forget you. And you... You'll never forget me, right?"
Link shook his head. "Never, ever, ever," he whispered, tears rolling down his cheeks.
"Guess Mystus was right... Everything has it's price..." he mrumured and threw his flute towards Link. "Play the lullaby every now and then."
Link caught the flute and looked at Kaze. "You're my best friend... I don't want you to leave... I don't want to lose both Hieke and you," he said sorrowfully.
Kaze smiled at him, tears cascading from his eyes as well. "I know you don't... I feel the same, and here I was promising you that we would find Hieke together... I'm sorry I can't keep that promise..."
"You'll find her with me! In our hearts, right?" Link said, his voice trembling.
Kaze nodded. "Best friends forever," he shrugged as he faded from existence.
Link set his gaze on the ground. Everything was turning back to normal; trees became green, flowers bloomed again, the water was clear to swim in again. But his heart was empty.
"Kaze..." he said with a soft sob and looked up at the sky, the flute in his hands.
Finally he set the flute against his lips and played the lullaby Lea would sing to Hieke and Kaze when they were younger. With that he started to head of towards the exit where he found Malon waiting for him.
"Where's the other boy?" Malon frowned.
"Gone," Link whispered and took Malon's hand. "Let's bring you back home."
Malon nodded and looked back at the castle one last time.
Link started walking off and tried the best he could to stop from breaking down. Now he lost two of his closest friends.
"Are you okay, Fairyboy?" Malon asked.
Link nodded and looked at Malon, faking a smile. "Everything came out okay, right?"
Malon followed him past the waterfall, back to Gerudo Valley where Dikai was waiting for him.
"Kaze? Where is he? Where's that little brat?" she cried, storming over to Link.
"Calm down, Dikai..." Linna said softly putting a hand on her friend's shoulder.
Link looked at the ground. "H-he's gone..." he whispered and ran off with Malon back to Epona.
Dikai bit her lip and hid her head on Linna's shoulder, sobbing. "That little bastard! When I get him in my hands...! How could he?" she cried.
Linna looked at Link with tears were streaking her suntanned skin. "Thank you, Kaze, Link... thank you..." she said quietly and looked up at the cloudless blue sky.
&#&#&#&#&#&#
Akumu whinnied loudly and finally broke free, running over to Link with Epona.
"I'm sorry Akumu..." Link murmured, stroking the stallion's muzzle. "He's gone.."
Akumu snorted sadly and nuzzled his nose against Link's cheek.
"Let's go, Malon..." Link sighed and mounted Epona, helping Malon up.
"And what about the other horse?" the Gerudo girl asked.
Link looked at Akumu. We would allow no one else to ride him besides Link or Kaze. "Let him go. Free him of his saddle and whatnot and let him go," he finally said and Epona galloped away with carrying Malon and Link.
&#&#&#&#&#&#
"Thank you, Link! Thank you so much!" Talon said hugging his daughter close to him. "If I can ever repay you, just tell me!"
Link shook his head and mounted Epona again, getting ready to go. "I don't think there's anything you can repay me with..." he said softly and headed off.
"Thanks, Fairyboy! See you soon!" Malon yelled, waving her hand in goodbye.
Link lowered his eyes and finally looked back, waving as well. "'Til then, Malon," he said and departed.
