Author: Nothing new really.
Spiritual stone: That was the reaction that I was hoping for when I chose the deku's name. Actually, your first review was where I got it from, so thank you. As for the spelling, well, expect their to be a LOT of horrible spelling in this fic, because well...I suck at it. Oh and Link sucks at being a Sheikah because he's lazy. He's Impa's nefew ( sorry if I spelled it wrong) so he's half Sheikah.
KRP: That wasn't the reaction I was quite going for, but, it'll work. Also, your welcome. If you have any more questions feel free to ask..
disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
Enjoy the fic.

Another meeting, another day.
It had been four day's since Link meet Sheik, and they had been traveling through the forest ever since. When Link decided that Sheik could come with him, it turned out to be good idea, considering all the creatures that were roaming around in the forest. They had several encounters with the wildlife and it...was not a pretty thing. Link sighed, one of the incidents is why he now had a huge scare on his as-
Moving on, Link found out that the only thing that Sheik could eat was, well, just about anything that was part of a tree. Seriously, Link watched him eat half of a small tree, burping a second later. Link was then forced to carry Sheik around for the next two hours due to his indigestion. If that was even possible for a deku shrub...
Of course the entire time that they had been traveling, Link had been bored as hell. He was getting desperate really. He passed the time by telling Sheik stories from where he lived in the trainee housing. Speaking of which...
" ...And then Epona reared forward and kid Mido straight in the balls." Link said, as he roared with laughter. Okay, so they weren't 'fun for the whole family stories' but at least they were better then nothing. Sheik tilted his head slightly, as he looked up at Link, who was finally starting to calm down. Link looked at Sheik and wondered why the hell he was staring.
" Um...Sheik, this were you burst into laughter. You know, from the long story that took me two hours to tell you, because I drew it out to build up the climax to that one moment." Link said, as Sheik shrugged. What Link failed to realize is that Deku's don't really have the capability for that sort of thing. What he did realize was that Deku was focusing on something. A second later, sheik ran off into the forest.
" Sheik!" Link yelled, as he cave chase to the deku, wondering where he could be going.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It took Link several minutes of constant running to catch up with Sheik. He may have been short, but DAMN he could run. Then again, sheik probably weight's what, 50, 60 pounds at most. So it was pretty understandable. That and he was able to avoid most of the obstacles in the forest, meaning that he didn't have to waist time just squeezing through something, or moving something out of the way. Link looked down at Sheik, who was staring at something ahead of them, before looking at what it was himself.
In the middle of an open area was a silver wolf, surrounded by three wolfos. The wolf seemed to be severally injured, as the wolfos seemed to be perfectly fine. Link cursed, you think that the wolf would have at least been able to damage some part of the wolfos. Anything would have been fine, anything at all, but noooo...
Link sighed, as he looked down at Sheik. " Stay here." he said, as he waved his arms, causing his to blades to shot out. Link then rushed forward towards the three wolfos. They must not have noticed him, or really cared for that matter. Considering that they were too interested in the wolf. One of the wolfos raised it's claw and was about to strike the wolf, until it felt something and looked down.
Through it's waist, was a medium sized blade soaked in blood. Link pulled out the blade, as the wolfos screamed in pain and fell to the floor in a pool of it's own blood. The other two wolfos howled, before running towards Link. The first one raised it's claws and tried to slash Link, who blocked it, a tried to slash it's abdomen. The creature brought it's arm's together to block the attack, as the second wolfos jumped on the back of the first and then jumped towards Link, it's claws fully extended.
Link dodged to the side, as he turned around and hit the wolfos in the back, which actually caused it to die. Link thought for a moment, as he blocked another slash from the first wolfos.Link then slashed the wolfos, whole blocked it immediately. Link then ran in the opposite direction, while the wolfos lowered it's claws and followed him. A second later, Link back flipped and landed on the creatures back, stabbing his blade through it's waist. Now, the creature that was stabbed was actually stilled running when Link stabbed it, so it just kind of skidded a bit when it fell to the ground.
" All too easy." Link said, as he retracted his blades and looked over at Sheik, who held up a card with a 5.3 on it. Link glared at him, before heading of to the wolf. The wolf had a slash across it's abdomen and one near the shoulder blade. It was conscious...that much he knew, considering that the wolf was bearing it's fangs at him. Link tried to approach the creature, as it still growled at him.
"Easy, easy, I'm not going to hurt you. I just want to see the wounds, that's all." Link moved closer to the wolf, as it sunk back a bit, still baring it's fangs. Link moved again and reached his hand out towards the wolf, which was attempting to move back, but due to the pain, was unable to. Link was about to touch it when all of a sudden...
" SON OF A BIT—TER Wolf." Link said, remembering who he was in the presence's of and tried to keep from cursing, but taking into account what was happening...it was a losing battle. The wolf had sunk it's fangs deep into his hand. His eye's twitched, as the wolf just starred up at him. Link then reached out with his other hand and rubbed behind the wolfs ear. The wolf, not expecting this, froze for a moment, before it stopped growling. A few minutes later, the wolf pulled it's fangs out of Links hand, while link sighed in relief.
" Thank you." He said, as he reached into his sack. The wolf started to growl again, a Link looked over at it. " What?" Link asked, as he pulled out some bandages. He then began to rap them around his now blood covered hand. When he was done, Link turned his attention over to the wolf once again, only to have his jaw drop.
Sheik...was sleeping right next to the wolf, using it's fur as warmth. Buried his head into the wolf some more, as the wolf cried out in pain. Link sighed, as he walked over and lifted Sheik up and set him down a couple feet away. Link then turned his attention back to the wolf.
" First thing we're going to do is take care of your injuries. After that, I have a very important question for you." Link said, as he moved towards the wolf, bandages in hand. The wolf growled a bit, as Link moved closer. Link touched the wolf to see if it was safe, only to just receive a growl from it, but no action's against him. Link then began to take care of it's wound's, the wolf howling in pain occasionally. In seven minutes he was done..
"Alright, now for the question." Link said, as he came face to face with the wolf, who was still growling. " Now this is very important, so I need you to pay attention." He stated, as the wolf just glared at him. " Tell me, are you a boy or a girl?" Link asked, as the wolf just stared at him blankly, wondering why he cared. As if reading his mind, Link answered.
" I can't keep calling you 'it' now can I. I need to come up with a name for you and to do that I need to know. One bark for boy, two for female." Link stated, as the wolf continued to stare at him. A minute later, it barked. " Okay, that makes thing's eas-."
The wolf barked again.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It had been a few hours since Link found the wolf, which he named Vixsen just for the sake of convenience. They were currently walking down a small path in the forest, Link carrying Vixsen on his back. Sheik was walking right next to Link, as he held on to his sack for him. Sheik tried to carry it, but only ended up dragging it in the long run. They had been walking for a while now, which remind's me.
" Which way are we suppose to go again?" Link asked, as Vixsen motioned over to the left. Link went down the path without a moments hesitation.
Vixsen was able to understand them, that much they established. What Link found out was that she lived in a village not to far way from there, or that's what he was hopping since it was hard for him to carry such a large creature on his back. The wolf itself came up to about half his size, it also being the length of two of him. Vixsen's fur silver colored, while her eyes were a yellow greenish color.
She weighted a lot, even though he probably would have gotten smacked for that kind of comment if Vixsen was human, it was still true.
Link sighed as he continued to walk through the forest...
He hoped that the sun would set soon.
Another hour later, the sun vanished and was replaced with the glow of a beautiful blue moon. As soon as Link set down Vixsen , he let out a sigh of relief, while snapping his back. Vixsen just glared at him, as Link looked back at her and grinned. Hey she may be from a different species, but she's still a female.
Link then set up camp, making sure everything was taken care of for the night. Link didn't bother to bring tent's with him, they were too bulky and annoying to keep around. No, all he needed was a sleeping bag, that was it. Of course he had given a few blanket to Sheik to keep himself warm. He tried to let Sheik use his sleeping bag once...yah, that didn't turn out pretty. Beside's, Sheik seemed to like sleeping on the ground anyway.
Link made both him and Vixsen some dinner, while Sheik walked towards the nearest tree and began to eat it. Vixsen's eye's bulged, as she watched Sheik consume the tree at a high rate. Link just looked at Sheik for a moment, before turning back to the food he was making. Both Link and Vixsen ate in silence, why Sheik continued to loudly eat the tree, little bit's and piece's falling every where.
When sheik was done, he walked over to Vixsen and laid down, using her once again as a pillow. Link watched for what Vixsen's reaction would be, only to see her look at Sheik for a moment before putting her head back down. Link sighed, as he got up and moved towards his sack and pull out a blanket. He then mover over to where sheik and Vixsen were and covered the little deku shrub with it, before he went to go sit near the fire.
The two just sat there, enjoying each other's company. It was a beautiful night aftrer all, why spend it with idle chatter when you could admire the moon and how it shined a pale glow down onto the forest. The forest itself was full of all kinds of soothing noise's. The entire time, Vixsen seemed to be studying Link, trying to decide something, while Link just ignored it. After an hour, Link said, good night to Vixsen, before going towards his sleeping bag and getting in it.
It was quite the interesting night indeed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning, Link woke up with a very odd feeling. He figure few moment's later that he had moved from his original spot. Link looked around to see Vixsen right behind him and Sheik sleeping right next to him. She must have dragged him over to where Sheik was. Link smiled, as said wolf woke up and looked at him. Vixsen yawned, as she got up to stretch. This action caused Sheik, who was leaning against her in a comfortable position, to fall backwards, waking him up instantly. Vixsen looked down at Sheik, who was wondering what happened. She then looked over at Link how was busy preparing some breakfast. They ate in silence, well, as much silence as they could with Sheik eating. Link honestly didn't know were he put it all, but just as long as said Deku doesn't get sick...who cares?.
Link then moved on to change Vixsen's bandage's, she was actually being a bitch about it in his opinion. She continuously struggled against him and put up a fight, but in the end Link was triumphant. Thw wolf then tried to walk on her own, tried being the key word. One of which she would remember when she fell back on her ass several time's. Link shook his head, as he looked over to where Sheik was.
Sheik was, well, Link didn't know what he was doing. Sheik, for the first time that Link had been traveling with Link, took off his hat. Sheik looked through the hat, as if searching for something. When he finally found it he held it up in victory, before walking over to Vixsen. She herself was able to stand up for the first time, while taking notice of Sheik. The little deku shrub walked up to her and put his arms around her neck, before a clicking sound was heard. Both Link and Vixen froze, while Sheik moved out of the way.
He...had put a collar on her. Not just any collar, but the one that he was wearing just a week ago. Link's face showed a blank expression, along with Vixsen. A moment later, Link moved to were Vixsen was and took off the collar, while Sheik looked confusedly at him. Link then scowled him that Vixsen was not a pet and that he shouldn't do it again. Surprisingly ( for Vixsen ) Link apologized to her, saying that he would try not to let it happen again.
Soon they were off once again, Vixsen on Link's back and Sheik dragging Link's bag along. The rest of the day they spent moving through out the forest. Link carried Vixen for quite a while, his strength slowly draining. Soon, Link's pace went from a semi-jog, to a casual walk, to where he could barely move at all. With one final step he dropped to the ground, while Vixsen tried to get off his back.
Sheik ran up to Link, pretty much forgetting his bag and looked at Link sadly. Vixsen also looked at him with ( What he could tell) a worried expression. Link just looked up at them and smiled, as he tried to move, but failed. HE then turned his attention back to the other two.
" I'm just a little tired, nothing to worry about." Link said, as he dropped into unconsciousness a second later. His head hitting the ground with a thud. Sheik began to shake Link a bit in an attempt to wake him up, while Vixsen's ear's picked up something, as she began to growl.
They...were not alone.
