Sorry this took so long to do... (I'm now using bold writing as you can see ;) I was away for a week at the snow...it was okay I guess, meh, I'm blabbering...ON WITH THE SHOW!

"Tala" the young woman replied, "My name is Tala,"

Link hadn't really expected a werewolf to look quite like this, he – like most other people, thought that they were evil, brutal creatures of the night, hideous to look upon, now he realised exactly how wrong he was…

Link bit his lip slightly as if unsure of what to ask, "Why did you save me last night?"

There was another pause as Tala then made her reply, "Well…I had been following you for a few days," Link blushed a little as she continued, "I wanted to make sure you were safe from my family, our pack met Ganondorf only a few days ago, he wanted us to join his side, help him destroy you so that he could regain his power." She told him, her voice smooth like velvet, "Well obviously I didn't join him, but I did eavesdrop enough to know that they were going to try to kill you…so…naturally… I set off to prevent that from happening,"

"Well, err…thanks," said Link as he watched Tala shiver slightly from the near-winter chill, "I think you would be better off with some clothes on," Link then went through his bag again and found a spare set of Kokiri clothing, he brought the garments over to the wolf-girl, "These are mine, they probably won't fit very well, but they ought to keep you warm till we visit a town and get more appropriate clothing"

Tala smiled, obviously liking the clothing quite a lot. There was nowhere to get changed…it was the middle of the woods of course so Tala simply gestured for Link to turn around.

"And no peeking," she said giggling slightly as Link's cheeks went red, obediently he turned around, facing away from her. He heard the small rustle of fabric against skin as the blanket dropped to her ankles. Link closed his eyes and swallowed, trying to drive all thoughts and emotions out of his mind. Finding it nearly impossible he opened his eyes and saw something that caught his attention.

A crystal-clear puddle…with a bare figure moving about in its reflection. Link's eyes widened as he watched, he told himself to look away – it was the 'right' thing to do, but his eyes didn't seem to want to budge. Should he say something? Close his eyes? No…he couldn't really do either, he just watched the smooth curves of Tala's body which were coated in a thin layer of muscle, almost like his own. With a small swish of green fabric it was all over.

Finally able to close his eyes he wiped the small amount of sweat that had formed on his forehead away, he felt rather guilty…since when had he thought like this anyway? He had always thought he was different, unable to have strong emotions like this. It had never happened before…why start now? He bit his lip slightly, clearly waiting for a verbal confirmation that Tala was finished, it would be rather evident that he had been watching if he had miraculously turned around just as she had finished.

"I'm done, you can turn around now," Tala told him seconds later, Link smiled nervously as he obeyed her, his smile widening as he saw her in the green tunic, the colour suited her so well.

"Well, would you like to follow me to my home town?" he questioned, his voice a little stiff.

"Sure, why not?" she grinned as she helped Link gather up his gear and folded up her blanket.

Soon the duo were heading out towards the Kokiri Village.

Naughty, naughty Link..., his voice wasn't the only thing that was stiff ; (nothing suss) I shall continue writing, if I get enough reviews I may have a few more Chapters by the end of the day...KEEP ME MOTIVATED ; please review...
