Again, thank you so much, my two reviewers! I'll try to make this chapter longer. Hence the TRY. Also, I made it so one of the characters is Sesshomaru. Only because he's sorta a main character. There is more of a reason for that, and it'll be revealed later in the story.

Disclaimer: If I ever forget to add this, in all of my stories and chapters I will never own it, so there. Don't say I didn't put a disclaimer on all my stuff, now.

Last time:

He threw his arm over the rim, and gasped for air. He rubbed his eyes, and saw that he wasn't in Kakariko anymore.

Now:

Luckily, there was a ladder that allowed him to get out of the well. His feet touched the grassy earth once more, letting him know this was all real. But still, he couldn't understand how he managed to get HERE. But, exactly where was 'here,' anyway? Everything seemed normal, he could sense no danger, but something was nagging at him. He assumed that the Triforce allowed him to pass through to where ever he was, but why did Impa do such a thing? Surely she was up to something. Well, she had to be up to something. It's not like she set out to eliminate her brother and the entire Sheikah race. That would be ludicrous.

But, now to the matter at hand. Since his only way back and chance of stopping whatever Impa was planning was sealed off at the other side, that option was quickly discarded. He could always 'explore,' if you could call it that and get to know this land, or just stay here for the rest of his life. Meaning, a really, really long time. Again, a stupid option. Yet, it was a possible one. But it wasn't like he was going to consider that one.

And, it was…sunny. It was night at Hyrule, and now, suddenly almost bright enough for it to be the middle of the day. Flowers hadn't necessarily bloomed yet, so all directions pointed to spring. He sighed; he might as well head out. For, it was now or never. His clothes were still damp, but he didn't have to make a big deal out of it or anything. Birds rustled about in the trees, detecting his presence. It wasn't until a second or so until he saw a dirt path. As he made his way through the brush of the forest, he noticed a young boy, about his age, walking down the road.

He had pure silver hair trailing down his back, and his golden eyes looked upon the road ahead. His clothes consisted of a red and white kimono and a purple and yellow sash around his waist. He wore a suit of armor and had a large, dare he say, fluffy tail around his shoulder. Also, an indigo crescent moon was on his forehead and magenta stripes along his cheeks. He had a certain feel about him, as if he was immortal, and he could tell the boy was quite powerful. His only weapon was a sheathed sword at his side. He was walking at unhurried pace, and as the boy came nearer, Sheik concealed himself, that way the boy wouldn't notice his presence.

He attempted to approach the boy to see what he actually was, but wouldn't you know, he stepped on a twig. 'Great! Just great,' He thought, 'You're one of the most skilled Sheikahs there are, and now you stepped on a twig, letting everyone in a mile know your sneaking around!' The boy's eyes scanned the area, and then looked in Sheik's direction. Sheik literally froze under his gaze, hoping he would be over-looked. The tension in the air was erotic for him, but he could never remember being under so much pressure in his life. Well, except for the occurrence before leaving…

The boy's eyes were now lidded, and he spoke particularly to no one. He just stood there calmly and said, "Who ever is sneaking around in the forest, I will continue if you keep your peace and leave at one." It was plainly stated, but Sheik just stood there. The boy sighed, "I can smell who ever is there. You needn't hide yourself." Sheik cautiously became visible once more, and the boy directed his gaze to the Sheikah.

"What kind of demon are you? I've never seen your kind before." Was all he said.

"I'm not from around here, and I'll put it at that," Sheik's gaze turned more serious. "Exactly who are you, anyway?"

"That is none of your concern. Leave this instant or I will not hesitate to kill you."

Sheik just scoffed. Simple as that. "I will leave, not that I was planning to stay, though, exactly where am I?" He questioned.

The boy's head tilted to the side, "You honestly don't know?"

"I'm afraid not. I just arrived here by chance."

"I'll only tell you this, who ever you are, you are in Japan. Now, we are in warring times, so I suggest for you to watch your head." With that, the boy continued on his way, turned his back on Sheik, and left down the road.

'Ja-pan, eh? I've never heard of that before. But, did he say demon?' Sheik continued to watch him as he walked down the road, paying attention only to his thoughts. 'So, I'm considered a demon here? If there's demons, there must be some kind of mortal here also.' It seemed best for Sheik not to follow the boy, so he headed Southeast of his direction. He might have to talk to the boy again, for this land was unfamiliar to him. The animals here were very different from those of Hyrule, and well, he had absolutely no idea what so ever where he was going. But, he had to encounter someone soon.

As he continued walking, he closed his eyes, letting his nose guide him. What the boy said had to be a lie to scare him. This place was just so peaceful, how could it be in war..ring…times?

And what lay in front of him, was an army of mortals, slaughtered from battle. Blood was heavy in the air, and now, he didn't doubt the boy's words. As he walked through the battlefield, bodies covered the ground. Death was the only thing he could think about with all this before his eyes. It was just sickening to see the bodies of men laying about the soil. Even in the distance, a flag was on fire, signaling the end, even though there was plainly no winner. The land was just so barren and dead. 'Warring times, indeed.'

…………………………………………………………………………………………………..

The sun was setting upon the horizon and still no sign of a village. For all he knew, the next village could be miles away! There was a large rock at the side of the road, and Sheik decided to rest for a while, not that he needed rest, but, he had to collect his thoughts. Okay, then. He had no idea where he was, no idea how to get to anywhere, and…he had no idea what to do. He took out his harp, and just ran his finger along its curve. He had a harp of his own before, and he had become quite good with it.

When he had completely learned how to control the harp's tone and so on, his Mother had taught him a special song.

(Flash Back)

His mother was beaming with joy after a young Sheik had just perfectly played the song his instructor had taught him. It was clear he no longer needed lessons, and she knew it was time to teach him the song passed down by the Royal Family.

"Sheik?" She asked.

"Yes, Mother?"

"May I see your harp?"

"Yes, but, what for?"

"There is a song that has been passed down by our kind and the Royal Family," Sheik listened intently as she continued. "It may be of use to you some day, for it seems to hold unworldly powers…" She plucked three strings of the harp, and a beautiful lullaby was heard. And like she said, it felt strange, like there was some deep meaning to it.

"The song is called Zelda's Lullaby, named after the first queen of Hyrule, whose name was Zelda. It reaches out to your soul and others and calms the mind, asking for peace and love." Her eyes were filled with warmth, and she actually blushed at a past memory.

(End of Flash Back)

He carefully played Zelda's Lullaby, and there was calm upon the forest. The birds stopped chirping, the frogs stopped croaking, and everything and everyone paused to listen to the melody. A soft wind blew across the land, and for one fleeting moment, all was right in the world. Thoughts of the past ran through Sheik's mind, but not of sorrowful memories, but, happy ones. He could see Riko and himself laughing and enjoying life, he saw he Mother's smile, his first birthday, and every joyous moment he could remember.

Always living a life of no worries in sight, everything always seemed to work out somehow. He had his Mother, Father, and he could remember how Impa acted kindly to him. But that dreaded night… This was always the thing that happened to your friend or some guy you heard about who lived near you. Why? Why did Impa do that? What could have possibly driven her to set out to kill her own kind? He just couldn't ever trust her again, and he felt like an idiot for even trusting her when he was young.

There seemed to be no reason for things turning out the way they did. All Sheik wanted to do was to make everything right again. He just wanted to live in that care-free world he had once resided in his younger days. Surely no one deserved to feel this loss, hatred, betrayal, sorrow, and everything else he had experienced all in a single night. The only way he could stop others from experiencing this pain, was to help others in need. Or for them at least to know the truth. But, that was something even he wish he knew. All he wanted was an explanation for all of this. If he knew, somehow, maybe somehow, he could make things better again.

As the song reached its end, he could hear…a voice…

Down the road came a young woman running frantically, screaming, "Help! Please, someone help! The village is being attacked!"

Sheik rushed up to the woman, who threw herself at his feet, gasping for air. Her arm was bleeding, and she was obviously in pain. She clutched her wound, and whimpered.

Sheik rushed his words, but tried to keep calm. "Where is your village? What has attacked it?"

She brought her eyes up to Sheik's direction. She screamed in fear when his red eyes came into view.

"Get away from me, demon! Someone help!"

"I won't hurt you! Please tell me, where is your village?" His question this time was somewhat frantic. Though, the woman's expression didn't waver. "Please trust me." His voice was now softer, and he could see hope in her eyes.

"I-it's down the road, n-not t-too far from here…"

"Jump on my back."

The woman became confused, "What?"

"Jump on my back. I'll carry you back to your village. Now hurry or it'll be too late."

She mumbled an 'Okay…' and did so. Just as she got a firm grip around Sheik's neck, he started running with his demonic speed. Everything was a blur around her, until a red light came into view.

The village was burning to the ground, and a large dragon was floating above it, blowing scorching flames onto the already flaming village. Screams were heard throughout the village as they came nearer. Sheik allowed the woman to escape to a safe location, and headed into the disintegrating village and into the fire to confront the beast.

'I'll live up to my promise by starting now. I just can't bear to see all these people die. Though someday, I swear, I will discover the reason for what she did, even if it kills me. I swear. I won't die not knowing the truth. And I promise Mother, I will never give up hope. I'll never forget your words. Never…'

Eh, this chapter wasn't that long, but hey. Actually, I don't really think it was long at all. It's just that I don't want to get exhausted from this chapter and have to wait months before writing again. Like I said, this story is going to be pretty deep, and will take a really, really long time to be finished. Thank you my two reviewers!
