Ranma ½ / Legend of Zelda crossover

God-born.

Chapter 10: Gerudo membership.

~~~~~

As promised the red haired woman found them again at the final cell, it was amazing that they'd freed the others from the guards yet none had thought to call for help in order to take them out. Sure a few well placed arrows from Link could knock some of them out for a few hours, but it was almost ridiculous how a race of warrior women could miss the major flaws in their defenses. Ranma had come to the conclusion rather quickly that they had been lulled into a false sense of security by their isolation and by the looks of things he was most likely right.

The second fight with the Gerudo was much faster paced; the girl was straining herself as she fought off Ranma's fists and feet. Link stood on the sidelines as the girl was whipped once more. Once she'd slunk off and they'd freed the last caged man they heard footsteps behind them and looked around to see a Gerudo woman standing there. She wore much more jewelry than the others and instead of the purple, orange or white outfits of the other Gerudo she wore green silk that somehow didn't quite fit the image that Link and Ranma had built in their minds.

"Your skills must be great if you managed to come this far." She said almost haughtily. "I am the second in command of the Gerudo, under our leader the exalted Nabooru. We've been watching what little of your progress that we could see and we have decided to give you access to our fortress." Link just raised an eyebrow and Ranma rolled his eyes. There was an ulterior motive to this, Ranma could see them a mile away after having lived in Nerima, and he wasn't the dumb jock everyone had thought he'd been. Link was the one to reply, Ranma guessed he'd picked up the diplomatic streak during the adventures he'd had before he'd arrived.

"We would be fools to reject such an offer but we cannot stay here very long, we have business in the desert, this was merely a favor to an acquaintance, although we do have other companions." The Gerudo looked at them.

"Who? We have not seen them." Link was about to reply when a shout came from the hall.

"What's the big idea?" Serephina strolled up to Link and flicked his nose. "You left us on the other side of that gap on our own! You know very well that if anything had come for us I wouldn't have been able to keep whatever it was off Kasumi as well!" Link looked slightly mortified as Serephina put her back to them and began to give them the cold shoulder. A snicker from the doorway announced Sheik's presence. He stood beside Kasumi trying desperately to hide the smile in his eyes. Ranma had the suspicion that he had something to do with her being here.

"Sere!" Link protested, ignoring the Gerudo woman in favor of his sister. "We didn't mean to! We were trying to find the rest of the carpenters so they could get you over here." Serephina continued to ignore them and walked past Sheik and Kasumi out the door. Link looked horrified but when he saw Sheik the look turned to something that resembled a mix between understanding and confusion. His eyes went wide as he suddenly realized he'd let his emotions make a fool of himself again. Link cursed and turned around; acting very much like Serephina had been but moments ago, effectively ignoring rest of the room. The Gerudo woman blinked as she looked numbly from the new arrivals, to Ranma and then to Link who was still looking steadfastly the other way.

"Who are you?" She demanded at last, shaking off her surprise and taking out a weapon, wearily, watching Link's sword and Sheik's hands. "How did you get into the fortress?" Sheik raised an eyebrow and shrugged non- chalantly.

"With them." He answered truthfully, waving a hand in the direction of the other two males. The Gerudo growled in frustration.

"Three!" She exclaimed under her breath. "Three males in one day after seven years!" She gave Sheik a dirty look before she turned to Kasumi, ".........and how did you get into the fortress young lady." Her tone held a lot more respect now that she was addressing a female. Kasumi remembered her manners after days of joking around with Serephina and bowed in respect.

"My name is Kasumi." She answered politely, purposely neglecting to mention her family name. "I am traveling around Hyrule with Link and his family after I followed them here. It's nice to meet you, but I'm afraid that I can't tell you exactly how I got into your fortress because I don't know myself." She had been perfectly charming when she introduced herself and explained her presence. The Gerudo was immediately put off guard as she gave in to the sweet and sugar expression on Kasumi's face and bowed in return. Ranma fought not to laugh as Kasumi stepped in a sweet talked the red head so quickly it made Link's head spin.

.........Needless to say, by the time she was done they where all welcomed as members.

I think I'll leave it there for today. My pet lady beetle, Francis is having a nice walk around my hand so I don't think I'll be very good at typing until I put her down so I think it's a good idea to stop before I crush her.

Don't forget to review!

P.S. Francis says "Bye!"
