so here's the next chapter. yes i finally have it up! (even though its only been... a week?) oh, and um... I'M SO SORRY:bows and hits her head:

Poe: she wants to apologise to all you Sheik fangirls. We have read your comments and want to clear things a little. We don't have anything against Sheik. He's a cool guy and all, but we needed someone for Link to be with in his old town that ended in heartbreak and well... she chose Sheik. This doesn't reflect how Sheik actually is in anyway. Note this story is AU.

Me: so please don't hate Sheik or me! And if you're wondering why i bring this up now, well there's a little tidbit of Link and Sheik's past here...

Poe: so FYI, there is mansex in this chapter. Don't be stupid.

Me: Onward with the story!

(start)

"You have got to be kidding…" Link groaned to himself as he dropped his coat onto his chair. There on his desk sat yet another three to four inch high pile of cases. He understood that he would be doing paper work for a while but this was ridiculous.

"What's the big deal? That pile doesn't look any bigger then yesterday's pile." Rikuo stated as he walked up with a steaming cup of coffee in hand. Link shook his head in annoyance as he replied, "That's not the problem. The problem is that the chief told me I would be doing office work for about a week…three weeks ago!"

"Well the chief can be a bit absentminded you know."

"Absentminded my ass. This is really starting to piss me off. I should have just stayed home."

"Then why didn't you?" Link stilled as he thought. While this was bad, it wouldn't be better back home. He still felt out of it but at least now he had new things to look forward to, new friends who didn't know his dark secrets. Finally he pushed a strand of hair from his eyes as he replied, "Let's just say that I wanted a fresh start."

"A fresh start? What did you do, witness a murder or something?"

"Nah. Just some old wounds that I wanted to finally heal."

"Rikuo!" Yuki yelled as he sprinted over to the two. The man smirked as he took his chin and gave him a chaste kiss. Yuki swatted him away. "Rikuo, where did you put the Robertson case file? If we don't get that cleaned up soon the chief will be really annoyed."

"Not that again. Look, we took one of his buddies into custody last night, so all we have to do is get him to admit that Robertson was the ringleader and we're set."

"Then would go and do that already. I'm sick of making excuses for you."

"Alright, alright. I'm going." Rikuo replied defeated. He turned to leave, but not without getting back at his partner. He roughly groped Yuki's behind before making his way through a crowd. The officer yelped, his face turning crimson. Link could only look on and laugh silently. It was great fun to watch the couple go at it.

"That idiot…" Yuki mumbled as he walked up to Link. "Anyway, why do you look so glum?"

"Me? Eh, I'm just pissed that I'm stuck with office duty again. This is the third week."

"Then why not just talk to the chief. I'm sure it's a mistake. You go through those file pretty fast so you must be pretty good." Link grimaced slightly. He wasn't sure he wanted to talk to the chief. He was nice enough but… there was something about him… "I don't know…"

"Oh go on. As long as you don't insult him like Rikuo does, I'm sure you'll do fine." Yuki continued. While he didn't like it, he supposed the older detective was right. Sighing, Link nodded and ambled out of his cubical, making his way towards to elevator. Could this day suck anymore?

Link rode the elevator for an awhile as it stopped at every floor. It was just like his first day at the office except this time he was ticked off. He was so pissed right now… He stormed his way out of the elevator doors and stomped down the hall. Before he opened the door though, he took a deep breath and tried to calm himself a little.

"Chief?" Link asked as he knocked on the door. There was a grunt in reply, so he took his chances and walked in. There sat the chief in his big easy chair as he was flipping through some files. He looked up and his face brightened. "Ah, Lennings. To what do I owe this pleasure?"

"Uh…" Link was caught off guard by the chief's odd question. He had heard that the chief was an odd nut though. Sighing he continued, "Well chief, I wanted to talk to you about the office work I've been receiving."

"Yes, and you're doing a fine job of it."

"Thank you chief, but I'm actually here to ask if perhaps I could start getting some real cases."

"Real cases? My boy those are real cases." Chief Ronalds said as he looked somewhat appalled. This wasn't going to be easy… "That's not what I meant chief. What I mean is that I'm a detective, not an office worker. I would like it if I could get a case that involves more effort."

"Well Lennings…I would except I'm fairly busy at the moment. Usually I would distribute the smaller cases so that more officers could get some action, but with this resent case, I'm afraid I just can't do it. I need more people to deal with the little cases."

"But chief, surely you could find someone else to do it. You said I would only be doing office work for a week, but it's already been three!"

"I said I was sorry Lennings, but there is nothing I can do…"

"But chief, I'm a good detective. Maybe I can help you with the case that you're having problems with." Link reasoned. He really wanted out and he wasn't going to back down. Ronalds sighed as he furrowed his brow. "Lennings…"

"Please chief, I'm begging you! I hate office work and I know I can do better."

"Lennings…" the Chief repeated, this time his voice growing agitated again. But Link didn't care. He was not going to go back to that damn cubical! "Chief!"

"My god Lennings! Would you shut the fuck up already! Damn it, if it's that big a goddamn deal then fine! I'm assigning you to work with Osara and Saerchi on the Dark Link file. Happy now?" he yelled as he rose from his seat. Link blinked at him a couple times. He had not expected the chief to explode like that. He was definitely an interesting character.

"Um…thank you chief. I'll get right on it."

"Good. But first I want you to finish the files on your desk. Now move it Lennings or else I swear I'll dock your pay."

(later i am so sick of adding these, but he site won't let me put little breaks)

"So, you get the plan Link?" came Rikuo's voice over the speaker. Link rolled his eyes replying into the radio, "Yeah I get it. You and Yuki guard the entrance while I watch to see if he goes down a side alley. I get the easy job."

"Don't be that way. It's only because this is your first day on the street after three weeks. It wouldn't be a good idea to let you go straight into the line of fire." Yuki commented over the radio. Link didn't like being treated like a beginner but he should have expected it. The chief had stayed true to his promise and he started working on the Dark Link case. It was his first day on the job and already they were staking out a possible crime scene, the Bank of America in downtown. They had been there for a while. Rikuo and Yuki were out front across the street from the entrance while Link was parked out back. While the back alleys would be easier to get away in, the security back there was tough and it was extremely unlikely that even an expert like this "Dark Link" would get pass them. That was theoretically of course, but they were all pretty sure.

"…Oh alright. I get it, I get it. Over and out." Link set the headset down on the rack and stretched his arms behind his head. This would be a long night, but he didn't mind. It gave him time to think. He did that quite a bit when he was alone. The longer he stayed in the city, the less frequently he thought about his past, which was a relief. But that night was one of few that he thought back to his past career. He could remember nights like this when he and Sheik would be staking out a spot. Sheik always seemed uninterested while Link always enjoyed just sitting with him. While he didn't like people knowing about it, he loved his partner. But the feeling wasn't mutual. Sheik had made that very clear.

(Flash Back)

"Sheik…" Link moaned softly against his partner's lips. Sheik bent lower, taking the young man's lips again and exploring his mouth. The kiss reeked of alcohol, but neither gave that much thought in their drunken state. The young man was slammed into a wall as skilled hands traveled up his chest, removing his clothes hastily and teasing the taunt nipples. Link cried out softly as he writhed under the touch. The world around him was a blur, created from alcohol and lust. He had wanted this so badly…

Before he realized it, he found himself pinned to a bed, both him and Sheik naked. The man groaned in Link's ear as their arousals collided. It was just about the most wonderful thing he had ever heard. Before he could fully appreciate it though, he found his stomach pushed against the bed and Sheik aligning himself. It was then that reality hit Link. "Wait a minute, Sheik! Please wait a minute. This is too fast and I'm not…AH! Sheik stop!"

His pleas went unheard as Sheik thrust hard and deep into him without warning or preparation, Link's body feeling like it would split in two. "AHH! Sheik Stop! It hurts!" Still his begging went unheard as the man pulled out and slammed back in, letting out a loud moan. Stars appeared before his eyes as another yell of pain left Link's lips, pain overtaking everything. Every fiber of his body screamed for it to stop, hot tears cascading down his face and his hands fisted so hard that scarlet slowly trickled from them. But still Sheik didn't stop. He kept fucking the young man, the entrance now slick with blood. After what seemed like an eternity he came as Link screamed in agony, the cum acting like salt on a wound. His breathing was haggard and inconsistent as let out gurgled sobs, burying his face against the bed. His body ached all over, shooting pain running rampant.

Sheik pulled out of the shaking form below him, frowning slightly. "Oh god Sheik…it hurts…please make it stop…"

"What? Isn't this what you wanted? I knew you liked me Link, I'm not stupid. I thought I might do you a favor."

"But Sheik…oh god it hurts…" Link whimpered pathetically, his voice horse. The man shrugged and stood, putting his own clothes back on. He wobbled drunkenly, saying, "Whatever. It doesn't really matter 'cause this will never happen again. I don't like you Link. All this was to me was a quick fuck. Get over me."

That said Sheik stumbled out the door as Link continued to sob long and hard into the night.

(End Flashback)

Link rubbed irritably at his eyes as they started to water. To this day he could remember that horrible night. Yet he still had feelings for Sheik. Why? Goddamn it, why!

At least now he no longer worked with Sheik. Now that he was away he could feel his emotions calm themselves, his feelings growing slightly colder with each day. Maybe someday he could completely forget Sheik and move on. Maybe he'll meet that special some one…

"Saerchi, Osara, Lennings! There's been a breach in the alarms! He's here! It's Dark Link!"

That special someone…

(break)

"Ah shit…Link he's escaping through the back entrance! Get your ass over there now!" Rikuo yelled into the radio. He didn't need to be told twice. Link jumped out of the police car and sprinted towards the back door, his back to the wall as he waited for the thief to show. Minutes seemed like hours as he waited. He shouldn't be taking so long… damn it…where the hell was he…?

A dark form suddenly burst through the door and sprinted quickly towards an alley. Link hadn't expected him to be so fast on his feet. It took him a moment before he yelled, "Freeze! Stop right where you are!"

The thief stopped and turned to the officer, giving him a questioning look. Link had to admit that this Dark Link did in fact look quite like him. The figure was tall and dressed in tight black clothes from top to bottom, his skin slightly pale and his hair glittering silver in the moon light. Link couldn't help but gulp as piercing ruby eyes looked him over. Besides the differences in eye color, hair color and height, they looked much the same. He smirked at Link before turning and racing down the alleyway, his snicker practically an invitation for the detective to follow. "Wait…Stop right there!"

Link took off after him as some other officers appeared from the door. The security guard cupped his hands and shouted, "Officer Lennings! Where are you going! You'll never catch him down there!"

The man's yells were ignored as Link continued to sprint down the dark street, Dark Link only a few yards ahead. He turned sharply to right, and then to the left, then another right…he just kept on running down what seemed like random alleyways. The officer grew tired, but didn't slow as he kept racing after the figure. He wasn't going to let him get away. Even so, Dark Link got further and further ahead. At times Link had to stop and listen intently to figure out which way he had gone.

After about ten minutes of their game of cat and mouse, the young officer found himself facing a dead end. He looked about worriedly when he spotted a door that was closing slowly, the rusty hinges squeaking. He ran up the steps with his gun in hand and kicked the door open, pointing his weapon ahead of him.

"Dark Link, this is the NYPD! Come out with your hands up!" The words echoed softly in the space. As his eyes adjusted, he could see that it looked to be an old back stage of a theater. Moth-eaten curtains swept down to his left and there was a rusty spiraling staircase to his right. Where did he go…?

"No can do detective. That wouldn't be much fun. Why don't you come and make me?" the thief asked in a rather saucy voice. The voice itself was deep and seductive, radiating a sensation that had Link getting goose bumps. He frowned in annoyance before taking hold of the staircase and heading up. The voice, while echoing in the large space, seemed to come from up on the iron pathways above.

"Sir, I would rather not do this but if need be I will take force." A silent snicker echoed in reply. "Is that a promise?"

Link could feel his face warm despite himself. This guy was obviously a real sicko. Damn pervs… "What I promise is that you will be leaving this building in handcuffs!"

"…that's a bit kinky isn't it?" the Figure cackled. Link flinched, realizing that was not the right thing to say. Shaking his head angrily he came to the landing and scanned the pathways for the villain. It was fairly dark in the dank space, but as his eyes adjusted he could see that there was the single path leading to the other side of the large stage, but no Dark Link. What the hell…?

"Hello detective…Lennings wasn't it?" whispered the voice, the warm breath brushing past Link's ear. Startled, he yelped and spun around to come face to face with himself. Well, not really himself in truth. There were subtle differences, but he decided that now was not the best time to note them. He stumbled backwards and brought his gun up, pointing it Dark Link. The man snickered and swiftly slapped the weapon from his hands, the gun skidding to a stop some twenty feet away, but miraculously still on the landing. "Opps…"

Without hesitation, Link swung his free arm at the thief, aiming for his head. Suddenly realizing what was happening, the man brought his own arm up to block, chuckling. "Oh, a fighter are we?" Grinning he jumped back before charging forward with his elbow extended. Link crossed his arms in front, taking the blow and forcing it back again. The two went at it, kicking and punching, blocking and dodging. Hands and legs flew as their hearts pounded in their chests and skin starting to grow moist. Dark Link got a few good punches in and even gave the officer a good one in the stomach, but Link wasn't worried. Well, not too worried.

"Not bad for a detective," Dark Link commented as he stood back for a moment. Link glared at him before replying, "Well, I am the best unarmed fighter from my precinct."

"Are you now? Well them I guess I'll have to stop playing around." Link stiffened as he gave that comment a thought. Stop playing around? He was fighting his damned hardest but Dark Link thought of it as play? Either he was joking, or Link was screwed.

"Let's see what you're really made of!" the thief said, charging at Link with incredibly speed. He was just barely able to lift his arms in time to block and was pushed back by the sheer force of it. He stumbled and fell, terrified, and stared up at the menacing figure above. "Come now, can't you do better?"

He was screwed. This guy was extremely quick and strong, and he had barely broken a sweat. Link's only chance was if he could get his gun.

"Not that I mind this view though. Mind if I join you?" Dark Link continued, smirking. The detective's eyes widened and his body moved to stand, but not before the thief made his own move. He bent forward and pushed Link's shoulders and head back with a deafening thud before straddling the younger man's hips. "Mm…I definitely like this better…"

"You pervert!" Link yelled as he struggled under the hungry gaze. This only seemed to entertain him more though as the figure grazed his body across the detective's lewdly. Link's struggling increased as he cursed the man for all he was worth. The situation was extremely uncomfortable and grew worse with the increasing pressure on his bruised abdomen and the tight grip on his wrist. What could he do to get out…?

Revelation hitting him, he managed to lift one of his legs and grind it into the back of Dark Link's knees. The man yowled in pain and loosened his grip, allowing Link to free his hands and push him off. He didn't even bother to see how the man reacted before flipping himself over and starting towards his gun. He started to stand when a hand gripped his ankle and pulled him back down, his face hitting the metal floor. His free foot kicked Dark Link in the side of the head and taking his chance Link scrambled forward. He didn't even bother to stand as he crawled over on his hands and knees. Six feet, five feet, four feet…he was so close…

"Oh no you don't!" Dark Link growled, moving swiftly and pouncing on his prey. Link yelped again, straining to keep moving. He was so damn close… "Get off of me you sicko!"

"Why detective, I'm hurt. I thought we were beyond name calling." Dark Link laughed, straddling his prey again, but this time sitting on his lower back and bring his arms behind his back. Link twisted and turned, desperate to free himself. Every time he got close the fiend would twist his arm, sending sparks of pain through his body. But he didn't care. He kept yelling and straining, his body red hot and his heart racing. He felt lost, angry, humiliated, and to top it all off he was slightly aroused. What the hell? For god's sake this guy was probably going to rape him if help didn't come soon. Damn it all…Shit!

Even with the thief riding on his back, he managed to get closer to his target. 'Just…a couple…more inches…'

"Detective, what are you…oh I see. Sneaky little bastard. But really, do you want to shoot little ol' me?" Dark Link asked, his voice hiding his lust with playful innocence. It didn't work on Link though. "Detective Lennings? Are you in here?"

Was…was that Yuki? Thank god. Dark Link stiffened and Link took his chance. With one last strain, he reached his hand out, his fingers hitting the cold metal barrel. Within seconds, he grasped it firmly in his fingers and twisted his back to face Dark Link, his weapon pointed, and pulled the trigger.

"BANG!"

(end)

Ugh…that rape-ish scene was hard, but yet still too short…

Link: WHAT THE HELL! YOU HAD ME RAPED!

Me: 0o Um….I'm sorry?

Link: AND HAD DARK LINK ATTACK/MOLEST ME! DAMN YOU!

Me: MEEP!

Poe: um…since they're busy right now, I would like to say (yet again) don't completely hate Sheik's guts (or the author's). This is somewhat out of context and it will be thoroughly explained later. Though I'm not saying he wasn't an evil bastard right there but, you know…

Me:limps over: xX um… yeah what he said. Though you're still evil for doing that Sheik.

Sheik: …whatever… you wrote it…:walks off:

Me: …oh yeah… so anyway, please comment! It makes me happy! And MWAHAHAHA! Feel the burn of, THE CLIFFHANGER! (and Dark Link finally actually showed up.YAY!)……CLIFFHANGER! XDDD
