A/N: Sorry for the long wait. School's been a bitch.

MidKnight: Like Zelda?

TheGoddessKnight: You leave her outta this.

MidKnight: So anyways, this little story is coming to an end soon.

TheGoddessKnight: Were like 2 or 3 chapters away. All this stemmed from a simple one-shot.

MidKnight: Thank you reviewers.

Link or Vincent?

"I don't see why you're both doing this," Zelda said.

The three of them were in the courtyard. The green grass and blooming flowers would soon be meeting violence. Link and Vincent were a few paces from each other, staring at each other. Link's water blue eyes met Vincent's fire red eyes. Vincent smirked and took off his white jacket and threw it to the ground. Two, sheathed sword were at his belt, on the left.

"This is going to be fun. A duel with you is the whole reason I came here," Vincent said.

"What an honor," Link said.

"You two are such arrogant jerks. Link, why do you fight for me if I cheated on you?" Zelda asked.

"I know you did. And it really hurts," Link said. "But I still love you Zelda. Since the day I met you."

"Link…" Zelda's eyes came close to tears.

Vincent sighed, "Stop this fairy tale. Look, maybe everything was fine but now it isn't. Zelda knows whose better for her and she chose me."

"That's why were going to settle this," Link said. "Here and now."

"Before you two begin," Impa said, entering the courtyard. She looked like she kept something behind her, "How about we make this more interesting?"

"What do you mean?" Link asked.

"Great, not this woman again," Vincent grumbled. "Let's see what she'll do this time."

Impa revealed what was behind her. It was a long chain with small links. "Why don't you both do a bound duel? Both of you are tied to each other. Requires thought as well as skill."

"I'll do it," Link said.

"Fine, fine…" Vincent answered.

One cuff was fastened to Vincent's right hand and the other to Link's right hand. They pulled at the chain with all their might to make sure it will not break when they were fighting.

Link noticed that Vincent's right hand was chained, "So, you're a leftie?"

Vincent laughed, "Yeah right. I'm not limited to using one of my hands. I can use both individually. Its all the same to me."

Link unsheathed the sword from his back along with the Hylian shield. He held his sword in his left hand and strapped the shield to his right. The handcuff was uncomfortable but he had little choice. He stared at Vincent. He had a smirk on his face and still didn't ready his sword.

"I'm going after you, whether your ready or not," Link warned.

"Go ahead," Vincent said.

Link charged to Vincent. He brought his sword upwards and slashed down. His blade was stopped by one of Vincent's swords. Vincent smiled at Link. He held his sword upside down with his left hand so that it would block Link's attack with little effort in executing the maneuver.

Link broke off and started to circle Vincent. It was obvious to him that Vincent would never be the first one to attack. He would defend first and attack second. Link charged again and Vincent did the same. This time, as they remained locked in a struggle, Vincent unsheathed his second sword and swung it at Link.

He quickly back flipped out of the way before the sword touched him. Vincent smirked and sheathed both of his swords. Link decided to keep trying. He wasn't going to let Vincent beat him.

Zelda looked on as Link and Vincent clashed steal with each other. Vincent blocked each hit but his fatigue started to catch up with him. Link kept his ferocious attacks and each one slightly diminished his strength. They were wearing down each other. Zelda didn't want it to happen. She knew it was all her fault and all she wanted was everything to stop.

"You see now, princess?" Impa asked. "Toying with people's hearts is a dirty business. Now you have two men who love you with all their hearts. They are fighting for you."

"I still don't see it. I have feelings. I'm not just a trophy!" Zelda said. "In a perfect world, I would be able to stay with one of them."

"We are in no fairy tale. Men always act like this, especially men like Link and Vincent. I tried to show you the Link that you fell in love with. I see how Vincent may have captured your heart as well. It would all come down to one question, princess. Which one: Link or Vincent?" Impa asked.

A/N: Cliffhang'd. I love doing that.
