Now it's time for Chapter 51, this time Link and the group have come to the hot springs to unwind, and Nabooru intends on Link joining them in the mixed bath...

"Wooooow, what a nice place!"

Aviel stood at the front of the group as they all were looking out at the mixed bathing area of the Happy Goron Hot Spring, the tourist local Goron City. Water was pouring in from statue fountains lined along the pool's edge, the fountains shaped like Gorons holding jugs. There were extra towels for drying, and buckets to pour water on each other. The water itself managed to stay quite clean thanks to specially designed passages that allowed the water to steady flow in and out of the spring.

Link and the group had all gone through the changing room that lead to the spring beforehand, and were now all washed up and clad in towels.

"This is really nicely set up, the Goron have really come a long way over the years." Link said.

"Last one in is a rotten egg!" Aviel cheered out, throwing off her towel and doing a flip and dive into the water.

"Aviel, wait a-"

Nemisa was cut off by a loud, audible thunk, as they saw Aviel was sticking out of the water from the waist down, and her legs were twitching slightly. She slowly sunk down and emerged her head out, now with multiple bumps.

"Oooow... this water is really shallow... it's nothing like the lake or pool..." Aviel whimpered with tears in her eyes.

"I was going to tell you this place is for bathing, not swimming, dear." Nemisa said sweatdropping.

Link paused as he turned and focused his look at Nemisa and Togau, who were removing their towels. He then glanced over at some of his friends he wasn't engaged to; Saria, Aviel, Sarami and Reirousa, and blushed bright red. He was hesitant about removing his own towel in front of them, but then felt a strange tugging and realized Nabooru was grabbing at it herself.

"Come on Link, nothing to be shy about!" Nabooru snickered, who at that point had already removed her towel and standing nude.

He then took a look over to Saria who's head was lowered in embarrassment, as she was protectively gripping at her own towel which was covering her chest down to her knees. Reirousa meanwhile had her back turned to everyone and covering her chest with her arms and towel.

"Look, it's one thing for you, Nemisa and Togau, but I don't know if I should be stripping in front of the others!" Link protested.

"Oh, I certainly don't mind, fu-fu-fufufu..." Sarami giggled pulling off her towel, revealing her voluptuous form, "It's not like we're here for anything lewd... at least not quite yet!"

"You heard her Link..." chuckled Nabooru, grabbing at Link's own towel, "Now let's have fun tonight!"

With that, Nabooru quickly yanked off Link's towel, causing him to spin around like a tornado until he stumbled headfirst into the water. Quickly after Link propelled himself out of the water and clenched his fist at Nabooru.

"Hey, be careful with-" That was when Link looked down and realized he was completely nude in front of everyone. He looked up to see Nabooru grinning mischievously, Aviel looking curiously, Nemisa rolling her eyes, Togau laughing like crazy, Sarami looking at him intently with gleaming eyes, while Saria and Reirousa were both averting their gaze.

"Oops."

After everyone settled down, most of the group found themselves all laying back in the hot spring water. Nabooru herself just stretched out and laid her arms back against the edge of the spring, flicking the water with her hand, and she looked around at the rest of the group relaxing as well.

"This is really nice..." Saria said, still clad in her towel despite the others not being so, "I've never been in a hot spring before..."

"Me neither..." Aviel sighed with bliss as she sunk her body into the water until she was up to her neck, she wore a moist cloth on her head to allow water to soak her head and deal with the bumps she got from hitting the floor earlier, "This was a great idea Lady Nabooru..."

"Yes, this water is just splendid for my back." Sarami whispered, laying back.

"You made a good call bringing us here Nabooru." Link said, by now having pretty much gotten over how awkward it was sharing the spring with the other girls, he grinned a little knowingly and asked, "And you're sure coming here was pure business, right?"

"Oh of course!" Nabooru laughed, "I can't help they just so happened to have a hot spring at this place we just so happen to be visiting for delegations!"

Link chuckled, it was clear Nabooru was taking more opportunities to take breaks from all the work she did. Even if he himself couldn't do anything to directly help her, the most he could do was help motivate her to enjoy life more often.

"Come on in already Reirousa!" Togau called out, "Yer missin' out!"

"I'm.. um... uh..." Reirousa muttered with her back still turned to everyone, "I just wanted to uh, wait until the water cools down a bit."

Everyone sat there blankly at that bizarre excuse.

"Reirousa, it's a hot spring." Nemisa pointed out.

"Uh... right..."

"Come on Reirousa, you can sit by me if it makes you feel more comfortable!" Link said, patting the water beside him.

"Okay, okay!" shouted Reirousa, "Just don't rush me!"

Reirousa walked forward and stepped down into the water beside Link. She slowly slipped away the towel, exposing her nude form, and sat down. She felt self-conscious in that moment from everyone seeing her nude muscular form, especially Link. Reirousa then quickly grabbed a bucket and poured water down over her head, causing her normally permed hair to come downward against her back and onto her shoulders. She saw everyone looking at her and huddled closer to Link, who was trying his hardest not to gawk at her body himself. Her hair cascading down over her face, and further down her muscular frame was rather nice for him to see...

"I don't know how you guys talked me into doing this..." Reirousa muttered, looking away.

"Oh my," Sarami said, putting a hand to her cheek and smiling, "I never knew you fancied our beloved king so much Reirousa, he really provides you with comfort doesn't he?"

"WHAT?" Reirousa exclaimed, "That's a load of bull, we're just... you know... we confide in each other... ya know, like best buddies! Right Link?!"

"Uh, sure?" Link answered, trying not to look directly at her.

"Yeah! There ya see?!" Reirousa shouted frantically, now wrapping both her arms around him, her bare breasts pressed against his head, "Nothing between the two of us!"

"Reirousa, I can't breathe." Link said, his mouth covered by her arms, and starting to remind him of the death hugs the Gorons would subject on him.

"She's got it bad for him." Nemisa whispered to Aviel.

"Yup." Aviel nodded.

"Hey, come on guys, stop making such a scene..." Saria said blushing, "The other guests might complain..."

"You mean those other guests?" asked Nabooru.

She was pointing over to a lone couple who were standing in the hot spring water, spinning in place as the man had his hands on the woman's hips, while the woman had her hands on the man's shoulders.

"Oooh darling, this vacation was such a wonderful idea.. hee hee hee..."

"Why yes honey, we could stay here in the hot spring until we collapse from the heat and I wouldn't care a bit... hoo hoo hoo..."

"...somehow I think those two are in a completely different world then ours to be bothered by it." Nabooru said sweatdropping.

Sarami took a moment to look over at Nabooru, watching the couple spinning in the water, and sported a slight mischievous grin. She turned away and covered her bosom in her arm, looking over her shoulder and calling out to her new king.

"Oooh Link, could you scrub my back, please?" Sarami asked him with a flirty tone to her voice, as she took her long hair and pulled it over her shoulder to expose her bare back.

Link was a little startled and flushed at Sarami's request, after prying Reirousa's arms off him, he looked over to Togau and Nemisa who both just seemed to be in complete bliss from relaxing in the hot spring, and he decided to go ahead with it for Sarami's sake... or at least that's what he told himself.

"Okay Sarami, where'd you need it?" Link asked, taking a wash cloth and wringing it out.

"Just all over, especially the shoulders..." Sarami said, "I've been quite sore lately."

"Hope you're not pushing yourself too hard again." Link said, taking the cloth and rubbing it on her back slowly and firmly. Aviel and Saria in particular were watching carefully.

"I... ooh... no... I just threw out my back once lifting.. ooph... something heavy years ago and it still aches from time to... oooh... time... by the name of Goddess Aifet you're good at thiiis...!" she moaned out a little, she found even her legs were fidgeting in reaction as he rubbed her down, she glanced over at Nabooru who quickly looked away from them, "Can you rub down my shoulders to?"

"Where, here?" Link asked, putting the wash cloth around his shoulders and putting his hands down on her own shoulders.

"No, no." Sarami said, reaching behind her with both hands and delicately taking his wrists to position his hands just right, "Right here... please be gentle..." she whispered, peeking behind herself with a stand of hair hanging down over her eye.

Link couldn't help but blush red at Sarami's voice, it was silky and smooth, with a hint of lust to it. He didn't have the heart to decline such a request, and he started rubbing her shoulders delicately but firmly, running his thumbs against the back of her shoulder blades as his fingers clenched the fronts, coming close to tickling her at times.

"Ooof... ooh... hee hee... you're masterful at this..." Sarami giggled lightly, "Nabs taught you this didn't she?"

"Yeah, she thought my fiances would enjoy it if I gave them massages, and she's been training me in different techniques." Link said.

"Well, I'm certainly enjoying this myself..." she moaned out, "If I married you would you give me massages like this all the time...?"

"I... well... um..." Link blushed bright red, turning his head away at her forward attitude, "I suppose I would... if you.. would.. allow..." he gulped, "Ugh, what am I saying...?"

Sarami giggled at Link's modesty, before turning around and then embracing him in her arms. Link was caught off guard by this, and he blushed bright red, feeling her large breasts pressing against his chest. She then whispered into his ear.

"...I'm glad to hear that, because I'm finding the desire harder and harder to pass up, my dear king..." she whispered.

"S-Sarami..." Link whispered.

"Okay, okay you two!" Nabooru shouted out, pulling Sarami off of Link, "I think the heat from the water is getting to your head, doctor!"

"Fu-fu-fufufu... did I overdo it perhaps...?" Sarami giggled as Nabooru dragged her off.

"Whew I'm saved..." Link muttered to himself, gasping out for air.

"Ms. Sarami can be... really bold, huh?" Saria asked Aviel with a blank stare in he eyes.

"Yeah..." Aviel said with a similarly blank look.

"And you two aren't bugged about that kinda thing?" Reirousa asked Nemisa and Togau.

"Na ha ha! Nah, we know Link's gonna be picking more girls then us." Togau grinned widely, "Honestly I'd really love ta have Dr. Sarami as a co-wife!"

"As long as she continues to take good care of Link, I'm fine with it." nodded Nemisa.

"Huh..." Reirousa muttered, looking to the side.

"Why? You wanna join up with our group too?" Togau asked with a catty grin.

"T-That... I... shad up! Don't go puttin' word in my mouth!" Reirousa shouted.

"Hey Link, how about you give Saria a massage while you're at it?" Aviel spoke up, "She told me she'd really like it!"

"Eeehh?!" Saria exclaimed, "I didn't say something like that! I don't think Link would even-"

"Well sure, why not?" Link said, cracking his knuckles and loosening his hands up, "Y-You sure about doing this Saria...?"

"Um..." Saria glanced down at the water, then to Sarami, recalling how much she seemed to enjoy the massage, and her curiosity peeked, "O-Okay..."

Saria turned away from Link, and nervously sat there as Link slowly reached out and put his hands on her small shoulders. Saria's face turned red at the touch, but Link started to slowly rub her shoulder down.

The hot spring was one thing, but this was a whole new sensation that Saria had never felt before. Link was rubbing his fingers and thumbs delicately against her and she found herself enjoying it way more then she could had thought. His movements were strong, but he moved lightly and gently.

"Ooh... ooh wow... Link... this is..." Saria sighed out, "You're... really good at this...!"

"Well if this whole king thing doesn't work out I could at least become a massage therapist." Link chuckled as he ran his hands along her shoulders.

"Don't forget her back then Mr. Therapist!" Aviel called out with a cheeky grin.

"U-Um..." Saria blushed, normally she wouldn't even consider doing something like this, but the feeling he was giving her was so good, and she wanted more. Saria timidly took her towel and slowly slid it downwards ever so slightly to expose her back while still covering her chest.

Link's own face flushed as he moved downwards and worked on her back, it was kind of awkward doing this sort of thing with his childhood friend, but as time went on it became more natural then ever. Her skin was smooth and soft, and Link found himself starting to experience sensations he never thought he'd feel around Saria in that very moment...

"Oooh... thanks Link... this... is... ooh..." Saria stammered, as Link got a certain spot between her shoulder blades, and found herself letting out a loud moan, "OOOH YES LINK!"

Realizing what she had just done, Saria quickly clasped her hands over her mouth, and looked around at the other girls, mortified that she made a sound like that, but the Gerudo surprisingly didn't seem to care at all about her immodest reaction.

"Feels good huh Saria? He does wonders fer me and Nemisa!" Togau said, then flashed a catty grin, "He usually does it right after we bonk like rabbits too, right Nemisa?"

Nemisa simply cleared her throat awkwardly.

"Should... I stop now Saria...?" Link asked, seeing the look of embarrassment in Saria's eyes.

"I... n-no... please... don't stop..." Saria found herself saying, as Link continued to work on her body.

Aviel meanwhile watched the two with a bright smile on her face, happy to see Link and Saria like that. After what the two had gone through back in the Forest Temple, and the guilt they had both felt neglecting each other for so long, seeing the two of them now closer then ever delighted her. It was in that moment she saw the longing look in Saria's eyes, and she wondered how long it would be before the two of them might finally-

"Hey... is the water a little weird to you guys...?" Nabooru realized, feeling that the water was pushing itself against her.

"Now that you mention it... it is kind of odd..." Nemisa said, running her hand through the water.

"What's going on here...? It's like the water is moving itself... " Link asked.

"Huh...?" Saria asked with a dreamy look in her eyes, only to snap out of it when she found herself being pushed by the water, "Link, what's going on?!" Saria shouted, being pulled away from his grip by the water current.

"Hang on Saria!" Link said, quickly wrapping his arms around Saria to keep her from being pulled away.

That was then they all realized the water in the hot spring was starting to shift and move, creating a slowly rapid whirlpool effect, and everyone was getting caught up into it.

"Gack! What's going on here?!" Togau exclaimed, hanging on to the side of the spring as she tried to climb out.

"Is this something like what Darunia ranted about earlier?!" Nabooru shouted as she forced herself through the current to pull Sarami out of the water.

"This is just like what happened back at Lake Hylia!" Link realized as he quickly grabbed Aviel's arm as well to hold both her and Saria, "Don't tell me Morpha is back!"

Reirousa didn't even seem to flinch at all from the water thanks to her bulk, and was taking advantage of it to grab up Nemisa and Togau to help them out of the water.

"Wait, could the reason why the water's moving like be...?!" Nemisa realized.

Everyone looked over to see the two who referred to themselves as 'honey' and ;darling', who were spinning in place so much and so quickly in the hot spring that they were actually causing the water around them to move in circles like a whirlpool, and that it was getting everyone else caught in it.

"Hoo hoo hoo, my darling, it seems we might be in danger at the moment..." the man said, holding his darling in his arms as he looked down at the rapid water moving around them, not even seeming to mind at all what was going on.

"Hee hee hee, it appears we are darling, of course I would allow these tides of wrath to carry us all the way to the realm of spirits where we may be locked together for eternity..." the lady said.

"That sounds delightful my darling, hoo hoo hoo..."

"WOULD YOU TWO STOP?!" shouted Link and everyone else, as the hot spring staff hurried in to put a stop to everything.

"The room is spinning..." Saria said laying on the straw floor of the hot spring. She had a slap happy look on her face and her eyes spiraling. The group had managed to escape from the hot spring whirlpool thanks to Reirousa and the Gorons and were recovering in the changing room.

"Saria, hang in there!" Nemisa shouted in panic as she was knelling over her.

"She's fine Nemisa, Sarami said she's just dizzy." Link said, dousing Aviel in water to snap her out of her own daze.

"Ayayayayaya..." Aviel sat up and wobbled left and right with her own eyes spiraling.

"Where the hell is that couple?!" Reirousa demanded, looking left and right, "I'm about ready to bash their lovey dovey heads into each other!"

"Before ya do that, ya might want to put something on." Togau said, pointing out Reirousa was stomping around in the nude.

"Ah shit!" she shouted, grabbing at the closet towel she could find, only for it to turn out to be Nemisa's, leaving the bodyguard in the nude now.

"This towel's too small." Reirousa muttered.

"It's cause it's mine you moron!" Nemisa shouted, whacking Reirousa upside the head, only for her to not even feel it.

"This is ridiculous." Nabooru sighed as she was fanned off Sarami, who was laying on her lap.

"We're so sorry for the trouble!" the Goron staff shouted, on their hands and knees bowing for forgiveness from Link and the Gerudo, "We keep telling those two they're not allowed to do that sort of thing here at the resort!"

"If it would please you, accept a free extra night here at the inn, as well as some vouchers for our drinking bar!" said one Goron, holding up some coupons.

"Hmm, well, that sounds good to me!" Nabooru grinned, snatching the coupons up from the Goron and waving them in the air, "How about it everyone? Drinks are on the house!"

"That sounds good." Link nodded, "After what we just went through I could use something hard."

"Alright! Let's get plastered tonight!" Togau cheered out.

"I'm not really that much of a drinke- gack!" Nemisa exclaimed as Togau grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the changing room.

"You guys go on ahead, I'll take these two to their rooms so they can rest." Reirousa told Link and Nabooru, as she lifted Aviel and Saria up.

"Alright, but don't forget to come over yourself." Link said, "You should get a drink too!"

"Heh... alright then." grinned Reirousa, carrying the two girls out.

"Hee hee, it's cute seeing her with Aviel and Saria, I think Reirousa would make a great mother someday." Sarami giggled when she were convinced the muscular woman was out of earshot, "You're going to eventually need to work on that Link." she said with a smile, as she got up to go to her and Nabooru's room herself, "Don't wait up for me, I'm going to take a rest myself."

Link didn't say a word, but blushed bright red at the thought of what Sarami suggested.

"Liking the idea, huh lover-boy?" Togau grinned, nudging him, "I admit I kinda wanna see a maternal side of Reirousa myself!"

"Hey come on, Link said he wasn't ready for that sort of thing yet." Nabooru said, changing back into her robe.

"Oh yeah, you probably wanna have a kid with Link first, huh?" Togau snickered.

"Don't make me switch you from livestock care to outhouse cleaning duty, Togau." Nabooru said in annoyance.

"Can we all just get to the bar already?" Nemisa sighed.

"Whoo! Another round of drinks over here!" Nabooru shouted out, waving around a mug.

"Ah, right away miss!" a young Goron spoke out as he hustled over to the table where Link, Nabooru, Nemisa and Togau were all sitting at.

The group had arrived in the bar area of the resort, where the five of them all took to sitting at a table booth and ordering drinks, Nabooru of course was drinking the most. While she was doing better to curb her drinking habits ever since what happened at the Hall of Knowledge, she still found time to drink up when it was the right time.

"Na ha ha hahaha! Another round or five or twelve for me and the missus here!" Togau shouted out.

"Hey, keep your hands off that!" Nemisa shouted.

Togau, being kind of a lightweight when it came to alcohol, was hanging off of Nemisa laughing like crazy, while Nemisa was trying her hardest to keep Togau from groping her rear end,

"But it's ssso round and soooft!" Togau said in a slurred voice, "What're ya eatin' to keep it like this?"

"Let go!" Nemisa shouted, grabbing Togau and hurling her through the air and falling behind the counter.

A few moments later, Togau stood up out from behind the counter in her Lynel form, roaring out loud.

"Ha! Now I got the bigger butt!" she said, slapping her horse half.

"A LYNEL?! Where'd that come from?!" exclaimed a Goron.

The other patrons freaked out and stepped away from her, tripping over themselves to keep their distance.

"It's okay! It's just our friend!" Nemisa shouted, "Togau, settle down!" she then shouted to her companion, running over to subdue the half-gerudo, half lynel.

Link meanwhile sipped his chu drink mix, letting out a blissful sigh, "This is pretty relaxing Nabooru, I'm glad we went through with this."

"Heh, glad to hear." Nabooru grinned, "We have to speak with Darunia tomorrow about the alliance negotiations, but we can treat this as a sort of vacation as well. Don't worry, I had Sarami prepare us some chu jelly capsules for dealing with hangovers tomorrow."

"So you planned out this little vacation from the get-go then." snickered Link knowingly, "You must have known they had this resort and drinks if you had the capsules prepared."

"Maybe I did." Nabooru said smugly, holding up her mug to Link for them to clink their drinks together.

Meanwhile, Nemisa was riding on Togau's horse half as the rancher was bouncing around kicking up her feet.

"Woah you damn beast! Woah!" Nemisa shouted, trying to get her to stop, but Togau was too drunk to slow down.

"Nyaaaeeigh!"

Link meanwhile was too busy smiling warmly at Nabooru as he watched her drink down another mug. While she had spent so long working to help her people, it seemed after their talk back at the Hall of Knowledge she was starting to unwind more and more, especially after he recruited Halei to be her assistant, which gave Nabooru much more free time then before.. Seeing her so happy and enjoying life the way she was, it made him truly believe this was what she was meant for...

"Link, you okay there?" Nabooru asked, "Having too much to drink?"

"Nah, just soaking in the atmosphere..." Link said happily.

Nabooru blushed lightly, looking away as she took a small sip of her alcohol. She wasn't sure if he was hitting on her or if it was the alcohol in him talking at that moment.

Nemisa soon managed after that to subdue Togau so she would change back to her normal self, and brought her over to another table to relax.

It was then Link noticed someone new walking into the bar. She took a moment to look around before placing an order at the counter. It took Link a second to figure out why she looked familiar, until he did a double take in shock and spit out his drink.

"Link, what's the matter-"

"Get down!" Link shouted, grabbing Nabooru by her top and pulling her down under their table.

"What's the matter with yo-?!" Nabooru started to shout, but was muffled by Link covering her mouth.

"Shhh, take a look over at the bar counter." Link whispered.

Nabooru looked in that direction to see a tall strong looking woman with slightly tanned skin and long white hair that was done into a braided ponytail. She was wearing a skin tight dark blue jumpsuit with a belt that had sharp throwing knives known as kunai attached to it. She leaned forward on the counter and the jumpsuit emphasized her firm rear end. A few men in the tavern turned their heads to look at her figure, but the woman then turned towards them, showing her angry face. She had what looked like a red scar under her right eye, which unnerved the men enough that they turned away from her.

Nabooru let out a light whistle, "Damn, I like her style. So who is she, an old girlfriend or something?"

Link practically faulted over from Nabooru's guess.

"No, that's Lady Impa, Princess Zelda's caretaker!" Link exclaimed in a low voice.

"Oooh... I've heard about her, she's said to be the last of the Shiekah race right?" Nabooru said, "I suppose it wouldn't be a good idea if she saw us... as far as we know the Hylian Parliament still doesn't know about you being king."

"Right, let's lay low for now." Link nodded, he looked cautiously over to see Nemisa had gotten Togau into hiding behind a table as well, though she was trying to keep Togau under control.

"Do you think she'd recognize you?" Nabooru asked Link.

"I don't know, we haven't seen each other since I left for my journey eight years ago." Link said, "Let's just lay low, hopefully nothing happens to get her attentio-"

"Nyyyeeeiighh!"

"Oh boy." Link groaned.

Togau, still in a drunken state, had changed back into her Lynel form and was hopping around the area with her eyes spiraling in dizzy drunkenness. Nemis was clinging to her back in desperation to calm her down.

"Togau, stop this!" shouted Nemisa.

As the men at the bar counter ran away in terror, the Shiekah known as Lady Impa didn't move a muscle, before suddenly leaping into the air within a split second, then hurled out a barrage of kunai from her belt down at Togau. The kunai didn't so much as touch her, but instead impacted onto the ground around her, and Togau for some reason was forced to the ground and immobilized. It turned out there was a nearly invisible net attached to the ends of the kunai, holding Togau and Nemisa's bodies down to the ground.

"Gack... gwraaar... can't... move..." Togau muttered with a lynel growl.

"Crap...this is bad..." Nemisa said, trapped under the net herself as the two looked up to see Impa land to the ground and stare down at the two.

"A Gerudo... and a Lynel...?" she asked, "Just what are you doing h-"

It was then Impa heard a table shift a bit some distance away. She turned and heard some shushing and voices from underneath it.

"You don't think she heard us, do you?"

"Dunno, but we have to get Nemisa and Togau out of here before she-"

The voice was cut off by Impa then kneeling down and looking at Link and Nabooru under the table with a knowing smirk, causing the two of them to freeze up in shock.

"Hello there. It's been a while, hasn't it... Link?"

And that ends the chapter. Needless to say, this one wasn't what I'd call hard work to compose. It was pretty fun putting Link in this situation and the reactions of his friends. Next time though, Impa has discovered the new king of the Gerudo hiding under a bar table, but what does she have to say about this matter? Find out next chapter!
