OK! Thank you for those who reviewed, my self esteem boosted a couple times ;; anwayz, sorry for takin so long I can think of a bunch excuse but ehhhh WHO CARES! CHAPTER 5 IS UP! MUHAHAHAHAH

On wit da fic!

"Lets go!" Navi said as she flew into my pocket, once secure I looked back at the lake with the doorway at the bottom. I gulped…..so I don't know how to swim but Navi doesn't need to know that right? So without thinking twice, I took a deep breath and jumped in, frantically kicking and moving my arms around. Surprising enough, I was actually moving, the doorway become in full view and my kicking became more determined to get out of this watery hell. Oh jeez, I don't know if I'm gonna make it. The air in my lungs became extra tight but my legs still kept moving.

Finally, I saw the light of air and my body floated to the top, gasping for the air that I had lost I looked around at my new surroundings. The first thing that caught my eye, was a wall of water…that was falling off a cliff?

"Oh! Now I get it! A waterfall! Duh" I said to myself and laughed, I reached shore and looked down at myself.

"Great, I'm all wet" I said, Navi popped out of my pocket. The small Farie went close to my face and screamed.

"YOU IDIOT! YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO SWIM?"

"Umm well……c'mon! we need to get the letters to Ruto right?" I said quickly and ran to the rock bridge that was in front of the waterfall.

(YES! The letters and Navi are safe and dry in Shadow's pockets! P)

Wow…waterfalls are pretty to look at…hm? What's this? It looked like some kind of inscription on the bridge. I bent down and traced the writing with my hands, it read:

"The flow of this waterfall serves the King of Hyrule. When the King slumbers, so too do these falls"

I stood back up, so these falls have something to do with the King of Hyrule. I guess this is where I play the song then, I took out my Ocarina and placed my fingers the same way Saria had taught me.

" , "

"You played Zelda's Lullaby!"

Right when I finished the last note, the water spread apart to reveal yet another door that lead to Zora's Domain. I jumped across with ease and entered, inside was yet another waterfall that dropped into a larger lake, which was thriving with Zoras.

"Wow….which way to the Princess?" I said to myself, Navi flew around my face again.

"This way!" she said flew across the room with me following her on a road to the princess.

Finally after a semi large fleet of stairs, we reached King Zora's throne room. There before my very eyes was the biggest fish I've EVER seen he was scary big and behold! Princess Ruto right next to him.

Navi lead me to the platform so we could reach the two royals.

"Navi!" Ruto squealed happily, I chuckled. Sorry to break it to ya Princess but I'm not Link.

"Hi there Ruto, me and my friend here have a message for you from Malon" she said, Ruto looked at the farie then at me. No, she didn't look at me she stared at me with her huge purple eyes, after a minute of a very strange silence. She jumped off of her throne….or whatever that is and onto the platform I was on. She nearly shoved her face into my breathing space to a get a better look at me.

"Who are you?" she demanded, I gulped; she may not be tough but she sure looks scary up close.

"Um My name is Shadow" I gulped again, ugh she smells like fish……oh wait a sec….she is a fish.

"Alright then, I would question you more but it seems I am far to busy with the likes of you" she said in a voice that seemed like she was superior to me. I felt my eye twitch, she's just asking for it I swear. I pulled out the letter for Ruto from my tunic and gave it to her. She looked at it like I was giving her some kind of sickness and took hesitantly.

While she read it, I whispered to Navi," I don't like her…" I half growled, the farie sighed.

"Join the club…" she muttered back. After a few more moments of waiting, Ruto looked up at the big fish.

"Daddy can I go to Malon's wedding next week?" she asked in an innocent tone. I rolled my eyes.

"Sure Ruto, what ever you want!" he replied in a gargling fishy voice. Ruto smiled and turned back to me, her expression completely changed from a sweet little Zora princess to an evil looking fish.

"Alright then, go tell Malon that I will be attending her wedding. Go now! I have important business to deal with, so stop wasting my time" I felt my twitch again, reluctantly I bowed my head.

"Sure Fish girl"

"What was that?"

"Yes your majesty" I spat back dripping with sarcasm, as I walked down the platform thing Navi flew to the right to another doorway.

"This way! It's a short cut!" she cried and flew down the hallway, I quickly followed the farie after feeling a nasty gaze from my back.

"What the?" the inside waterfall I had seen earlier was now at my feet at the end of the hallway.

"This is a short cut?" I screamed, Navi rolled her eyes at me.

"Duh! Look see down there?" she pointed below where the pool was, I bent over to see what she was pointing at. Next thing I know I'm in the air and going downwards until I made a belly flop on the pool, I screamed in pain but only to realize that I was underwater now and just released some air. Using the same technique as last time, I quickly swam to the surface.

"Navi!" I screamed, the small farie flew down smirked at me.

"That was for not telling me that you didn't know how to swim!" she stuck her tongue at me, I ignored her and the laughing Zora's and swam to the shore of the domain.

"I hate you….." he growled at her.

"But you love Link, so until then you gotta deal with me!" she shot back, I sighed and took my hair into my hands trying to get all the water out.

After much drying of my tunic, Navi and I jumped out of the waterfall entrance to face rocks bridges all of the river.

"Oh no! It's almost lunch time! We better hurry!" Navi cried.

(ermm yea, well while I was timing myself, it seems that just to the Lost woods and the Zora's domain half of the day was already gone ;;)

"What do we do? We still need to meet Nabooru and pick up the milk before we meet back with Link!"

This isn't good…. But….wait….

" , "

"You played Saria's Song!"

"Shadow what are you doing?" Navi asked me, but I ignored her and waiting to hear Saria's voice.

"Hello?"

"Saria? It's Shadow"

"Hey Shadow! Whats up?

"Look I need a big favor, I don't know how to connect with Link so can you tell him that I'll be a little late?"

"Sure no problem!"

"Thank you sooooo much Saria, I'll see you later"

"Alright bye!"

I sighed in relief and put my Ocarina away. Thank the Goddesses for friends or who knows what I would do know in my most desperate situation that involved Link. So being a little late isn't exactly a desperate situation but still.

"Shadow you are a genius!" Navi cried out, as she flew across my face happily. I smiled.

"Thanks, but it looks like Nabooru will have to wait until after lunch then we can pick up the milk"

With that decided I looked down at the river below us.

"Erm….Navi…."

"Just go with the flow" she replied, I sighed. I just got my clothes dry too! Oh well, without a second thought I jumped in the river and moved with the current. I was surprised at the speed I was going, maybe even too fast, I nearly ran into though octupus looking things twice! And that's not including all the smaller water falls I went through too!

Finally after a few more moments of a watery hell, I reached the end and the green shore of Hyrule field once more. All in all, in was kind of fun excluding a few times I sucked in water when I was trying to go for air. I shook out all the water from my body like a dog and rung out my long hair.

"Well that wasn't too bad" Navi commented, a DRY Navi for that matter.

"That's easy for you to say, maybe we could call it even if I rip off your wings….." I replied, I laughed when Navi flew higher.

"C'mon lets go see Link, it's not that far so I can walk. We'll pick up Shadow later"

After a short walk, Navi and I made it to Kakariko Village. The sun was ready to set as was every one else in the village, making last rearrangements and sales before closing shop. I sighed inwardly, I was late and I only prayed that he was still at his house. It seems like I am still in Din's favor, and I could see the candle light from his window and see his shadow.

My face beamed with happiness and I suddenly sprinted toward the house leaving Navi in my dust.

"Link?" I knocked on the door softly and called to him. Within a few seconds, he opened the door and greets us with his usual smile.

"Hey Shadow, Saria told me that you would be late so I left some food for you two" he said while I walked inside.

"I'm starved!" Navi cried out and flew towards the table of good smelling things. Navi flew toward a bunch purple round things that were about the size of her.

I looked at all of the items on the table….actually….I can't describe any of these things but they sure smell good.

Rumble rumble

"What the?" I looked around to find the location of the strange sound, it never came again but only the sound of Navi's giggles. I looked over at her to find her stuffing her face in the round purple thing that was in her hand.

"You heard that too?" I asked, she nodded and pointed to my stomach.

"Of course I did! You're hungry! And your stomach is empty that why it made that sound" she wiped the juice from the purple thing off her mouth with the back of her hand. I looked at her confused, and looked down at my stomach.

Rumble rumble

The sound came again and this time I heard it from my stomach, I definatly feel strange but I'm feeling hungry? What's that mean?

"You got to eat now, it'll keep you alive" Link stated and took his seat next to the table and continued, "In the morning, we eat breakfast, afternoon is lunch, and later on at night is Dinner"

I nodded at all the new concepts that I was learning, I've seen Ganondorf eat before I think. Every time something went right in his plans, he had something called a feast and eat….a lot. All the Gerudo's wondered how he could eat so much and still stay the same size.

"Here, try a grape" Navi said and tossed a purple thing at me, I guess it's called a grape. I looked at it before popping it in my mouth, chewing, and swallowing trying to copy what I've seen Ganon do when he was stuffing his face.

……………………

"Well?" Navi asked.

"Not bad" I said and laughed as I took another and taking my seat on the other side of the table. I took some more grapes and popped them in my mouth. These are really good!

(Grapes are good! Besides, I was eating them when I wrote this so mleh!)

"So, how did your day go today Shadow?" Link asked, I swallowed the grape that was in my mouth and smiled at him.

"Well, Nightmare got hurt from the night before so took him to Malon's ranch, she helped him out and we gave her your message. But we were late because Malon needed someone to deliver some other messages to Saria, Ruto and Nabooru, but we're going to Nabooru's place afterwards then we can pick up the milk" While I said all this, Link seemed to be staring at me. As if he was looking for something and thought that the answer would be in my eyes.

Link nodded and down at the farie that was eating happily away, she stopped eating noticing how quiet it was and looked up at Link.

"Yup, all true" she said and continued to eat, he smiled and looked back at me.

"Well, when I went to pick up some things at the castle, Zelda asked me about you" I gulped, he nodded," Yes she knows, she also knows that you were Ganon's creations". I bowed my head, its not like I chose to be created from maniac. Link put his hands up defensively," It took me awhile but I finally convinced her that you were good now but in any case, she asked me to make sure that you weren't doing anything bad, that's all really no big deal"

I sighed in relief and popped another grape in my mouth.

"Oh no, Shadow! We forgot about Nabooru!" Navi suddenly screamed, making me jump up and nearly choking on the grape. I looked out side and saw the sun setting, we still needed to deliver the message to Nabooru and pick up the milk from Malon.

"Oh crap, we gotta go" All three of us jumped from the table and to the door," We'll back soon ok Link?" Navi said, he nodded and opened the door for us.

"Be careful you two ok?" I smiled at him.

"No worries, bye Link!" And without thinking, I gave him a quick peck on the cheek before running off leaving Link dumbfounded.

OKIE DOKIE! Nabooru up next, a last stop with Malon and a few surprises from Link!
