NOTE TO ALL FLAMERS! (hint hint, Kyakikino and Homophobic)

If ya don't like my story then don't read! IS THAT SO FRIGGIN HARD?

Well, it doesn't matter because I'm gonna update whether you like it or not! SO HA!

Oh yea one more thing, I FINALLY noticed the arrows aren't showing up every time Shadow uses the Ocarina. Or might just be my computer, I dunno. Oh well.

This chapter is dedicated to SageofNature! (THANK YOU!)

OK! On wit da fic!

"I can't believe you just did that!" Navi screamed at me as we ran down the stairs into Hyrule field, actually I was the one that ran, I laughed.

"I can't believe it either!" I shouted back, we crossed the small bridge and into the field until we found Nightmare munching on some grass waiting for us. I smiled, we were finally reunited. We slowed down to catch our breath and walked up to him.

"Hello Nightmare" I said sweetly, he looked up at me and neighed softly, he nudged his nose in my face. He missed me as well.

"Ready for one last job?" Navi asked as she took her seat on Nightmare's head, he snorted in reply. I jumped on the saddle and gave him a swift kick, he responded immediately and we were off to the Gerudo Fortress.

The wind in my long black hair and my body filled with joy of my new life, I couldn't stop smiling as we entered the rocky path to the Gerudo's. I laughed at the thought of my old friends seeing me a girl, especially Nabooru….well if they're still around.

After passing the small bridge over yet another and bigger water fall, we entered the fortress. It was just as I remembered it those many years ago, in the days of Ganon and his army of Gerudos.

"HALT!" one screamed, I turned around to see several Gerudo's surrounding me with their traditional spears. I recognized one of them, her name was Cobara. The scar on her left eye made her stand out of the rest of the guards. I pulled on Nightmare's reins to stop.

"State your business!" she said.

"I'm here to see Nabooru, I have a message for her" I hid my laugh, I wondered how long it will take for her to notice. I can tell that she was eyeballing me.

"Let me see" she extended out her hand, but I laughed.

"You've changed a lot since you've moved up a few ranks, Cobara" the others aimed their spears at me, Navi hid within Nightmare's mane. Cobara withdrew her hand and replaced it with her spear.

"Who are you?"

"Hey calm down! It's me, Shadow" I heard a few small gasps, around me but they still weren't convinced.

"Shadow? That's impossible! The Hero of Time killed him! Besides…you're a…."

"Girl? It's a long story but you must believe me…." Cobara put her hand up, as a signal for the other to put down their weapons for the moment.

"Alright then, if you're Shadow….then how did I get this scar?" she asked and pointed to her eye.

"You came back to Ganon's castle without completing a mission he sent you to do, you were beaten for it. You nearly lost your eye if me and Nabooru hadn't convinced him to stop"

Cobara nearly dropped her spear," Sh-shadow? It's really you!"

I laughed again and jumped off of Nightmare, the other Gerudo's had their spears up still. But even with her silk mask covering her face, she was both shocked and happy to see me.

"Miss me?" I laughed, Cobara finally dropped her spear and crushed me in a death hug.

"Thank the Goddesses you're alive! I thought The Hero of Time destroyed you in the Water Temple!" she released me from her hug of death, I quietly sucked in some air to get my lungs moving again. Cobara pulled down her mask revealing the rest of her face, a Gerudo tradition meaning one was among close friends; that was a signal in itself and the other guards took off their own mask. Cobara looked the same as I remembered her to be, a bit older but still the same.

"It's great to see you again but I have an important message to give to Nabooru"

"Alright, you can explain the story on our way to the temple" I nodded and grabbed Nightmare's reins, we began our journey through the desert. I first noticed that the many sandstorms that once thrived here were gone, it looked like any other desert.

"After Ganondorf was finally destroyed, even the desert began to feel at ease….now please tell me why you have boobs"

I laughed and began my story, she seemed not as surprised as I thought she would be when she found out the love I had for the Hero of Time. She and a very few number of Gerudos knew of what emotionless trails I went through before I fought with him. Nevertheless, she was happy with my decision.

"I never would've thought of that, it's genius if you ask me"

"Really?"

"Well yea, think about it. You love someone so much but you know they aren't going to feel the same at your current state so you change for them, it takes guts to do something like that but completely changing your gender strips you of…eh well dignity"

"Well, I had no dignity to begin with so I think I'm ok"

We laughed, being a Gerudo she was used to the scorching deserts and being…well me, I was used to it as well. But Nightmare and Navi were really taking a beating on the sun, Cobara noticed the glowing ball of light on Nightmare's black mane.

"I think we better hurry before those two become one with the sand in this heat"

Finally we reached the temple, some Gerudo's saw us and quickly brought out some water for Nightmare, they agreed to watch over him for me so me and Cobara went insides. Navi wanted to stay where one Gerudo brought out a bowl of water for her dunk herself in.

"Nabooru!" Cobara called out, catching the Gerudo leader's attention, Nabooru turned around to face us. She hadn't changed either.

"Cobara? What are you doing here? I thought you were guarding the north gate!"

"I was, then a visitor came by" she pointed to me, Nabooru knew who I was from the instantly she saw me.

"Shadow?"

"Well that was fast" I laughed, Nabooru nearly jumped off of the small flight of stairs to reach us. She nodded at Cobara, a signal for her to leave, I was left with my best friend Nabooru.

"Shadow…..so it is true! The goddess of Power contacted me about you, I wasn't sure if it was a trick or not"

"Din has given me another chance at life, this time I'm going to make it better" I smiled and showed her the Triforce on my hand.

"um….and you're a girl…why?"

"Long story, but before I get into that I got this for you" I reached into my tunic and pulled out the letter from Malon. Nabooru took it and glanced at it then shook her head.

"About time, Malon and that guy have been together for who knows how long. Tell her I'll be coming, are you?" I nodded, then took a look around. The temple was as I remembered it from my own days among the living, no monsters around like the ones I watched among the dead.

"Are you going to tell me or not?" she said impatiently, I laughed.

"You better sit down, this might take awhile and I may need some advice"

After a long Talk:

"So what do you think?" I asked after telling her just about everything, she sat there for a moment thinking then looked back at me.

"I think that you'll be fine, just stay away from the Door of Time. I truly doubt that Ganon will still have power locked in the Sacred Realm, though he gave you the Triforce of Power that was all he could do" she said wisely, I sighed.

"I suppose you're right, I don't understand why I'm so worried though, I just keep getting this feeling like I'm going to do something I'm going to regret" I looked down at the stairs we were sitting on, Nabooru patted my back.

"Only time will tell, for now all you have to worry about is if Link will accepted you. If not then you changed your gender for nothing" she laughed, but I only smiled. That feeling was still there.

"Besides" she added," You look much better as a girl, how can he resist?" This time we both laughed together.

I looked out of the doors of the temple, it was dark, and we still needed to get back to Malon's. We went back outside and said our good byes, I told Nabooru to tell the others to not attack me if I come around again. She laughed and told the others to watch for a "Link wannabe", Cobara was nice enough to give us some water if we were to get thirsty on the way. Navi must've given her the idea.

Finally we set off into the desert, out of the fortress and into the Hyrule field. I noticed Nightmare was much faster tonight, maybe water is a better fuel than carrots? As we trotted up the hill of the Lon Lon Ranch, I finally noticed Navi's glow was missing, I only prayed that Nightmare didn't eat her, Link will kill me.

"Navi?" I called out, then I heard silent banging.

"lemme out!"

Navi was stuck in the water canteen that she was trying to open when we entered the field, I laughed and pulled Nightmare to a stop next to the stable house. I jumped off and popped off the cap of the canteen, a glittering ball flew out the very second I opened it.

"Have a nice swim, Sparky?" I smiled evily. Navi was drenched, which made it even more painful when she slapped me with her wing.

"ouch…." I rubbed my cheek, Navi blew a raspberry at me and flew on Nightmare's head, trying to dry off. By now, he was already used to the floating ball of light.

I shook my head, some people can't take a joke! As I walked into the entrance of the fence area, I heard someone talking. Being the very nosey person I am, I concealed myself in the corner of the stable but still kept an eye out for who ever was there.

It was Malon and a taller man, Malon was sitting on the fence from the inside and he was on the outside leaning on it as well. He had brownish hair tied back in a ponytail and had a knight looking uniform, he must be one of the knights in the castle. I giggled to myself, I knew Malon always wanted a knight in shining armor, looks like she got what she wanted.

But what really caught my eye was how happy she was, even as I watched from hell, she never looked THAT happy while she was with Link. Maybe I can be just as happy with Link?

The man looked up at the sky then sighed, it was time for him to go. Malon gave him a quick peck on the lips and jumped of the fence, it was time for her lock up as well. Suddenly, he grabbed her arm and pulled her into a much deeper kiss than before, I could've sworn I heard Malon giggled slightly before she wrapped her arms around him.

AWW! So cute…..

"OW! GO MALON!" I nearly jumped three feet in the air from the sudden voice that completely ruined the moment. I turned around and saw Navi flying back towards Nightmare, cackling evily.

"Navi you bug from hell!" I screamed at her, but before I could squeeze the life out of the her, Malon stopped me.

"Um….Shadow is that you?" I turned around, Malon and the man were both blushing madly. I pointed at Navi and hollered.

"SHE DID IT!"

The man looked at what I was pointing at then back at me, he thought I was talking about the horse, Navi hid herself rather well this time. Malon laughed.

"It's ok, Shadow this is my fiancée Rico. Rico this is the one I was talking about earlier, Shadow" Rico and I shook hands, he smiled.

"So you're the new messenger?"

"Looks like it" I smiled back, I looked at Malon.

"All three of them can come" I said, Malon looked like she was about to do cartwheels.

"PERFECT! Thank you so much Shadow! You have no idea how much this means to me!" I waved my hands in front of me.

"Hey don't worry about it….um…sorry for interrupting earlier…." I blushed, how embarrassing. Even for me. The two of them blushed and laughed nervously.

"Well the wedding is next week, we can hardly wait" he said, I laughed. Hardly wait? It looks like they were ready to get married tomorrow.

After a bit of small talk, we said our good byes, got our milk and were off.

"Tell Link we said hello!" Malon called out, I waved back at the happy couple and we were off.

After putting Nightmare in his stable next to Epona, we entered the house. There was still some food left out for us and a note was on the grapes. Navi looked around and flew towards Link's room, I sat down on the chair and reached for the note.

'Hey shadow

I forgot how long it takes from the desert to here, so I went off to bed. There's a gift for you in your room but eat up. I have a day off tomorrow so we can hang out at the house and maybe work out a deal with the Mailman for your job.

See you later,

Link'

"Link's asleep" Navi whispered as she flew back into the kitchen and landing on one of the plates, I nodded and began eating more grapes silently. After awhile, Navi introduced me to some other items that I could eat, she also told me that my body needed some stuff to survive. Like bread, fruit, water, meat, and some gross stuff called veggies. Yuck.

Finally, there was no longer any room in my stomach and I went to bed, with Navi as my light I was able to find my room with stumbling into the shadows…..hey…shadows….and that my name too!……wow I must be more tired than I thought.

"Hey what's that?" Navi flew ahead of me and destroyed the darkness that conquered my room. That's when something caught my eye. I went up to the bed and picked it up, it was a sword, an exact replica of the sword I once had when I fought him in the Water temple. A dark master sword.

"Wow….he got you a sword! That means we won't have to worry about those stupid skull things when we travel!" she said loud enough for me to hear but soft enough not to wake Link up. I took the sword out from its cover (I dunno what that's called) and examined it. All the lessons I was taught from Ganon came at me like a flood, but I shook it off as soon as I remembered that this was a gift from the one I loved.

A smile tugged at my lips and I put it back into it's covering, putting it next to my bed and got ready for bed.

ALL FLAMERS WILL BE LAUGHED AT! YOU HEAR ME? LAUGHED AT! MUHAHAHAHA!
