Last Time

"DARK!" He yelled while releasing. Link's body twitched as he came over my hand and the ground. His body arched as he yelled and then collapsed into my arms. He was breathing heavily and his eyes were closed. I released him and hugged him tightly to my body. I closed my eyes and listened to Link's breathing and felt his heart beat. After a while I looked down at his face to see his eyes closed. He must be asleep. Well, no point in waking him up. I sighed and moved down to the ground, still holding onto Link. I pulled him onto my chest and wrapped my arms around his waist. His hands clutched tightly to the front of my tunic and his head lay on my chest. I sighed and closed my eyes, happy that Link was by my side. He was mine, and I won't let anyone touch him like that again.

Link's POV

I woke up tired, yet refreshed. I blinked, my eyes slightly opened, and looked around the area I was in. Last thing I remember was fighting that Dead Hand. I noticed black and brown dirt and used common sense to figure out I'm on the floor. I don't remember

killing the dead hand, so why am I on the floor? I closed my eyes and sighed. I had this weird dream that Dark touched me. I mean, Sheik told me it was normal to have these dreams at my age. It felt so real though. I opened up my eyes again and scanned the area again. This is where I was in my dream... I spotted white stuff on the floor and my eyes widened. I shot up and pushed a weight off my back. I looked down to see my pants pulled down. I squeaked and pulled them up, blushing furiously. I knelt down and stared at my hands as they clenched into fists on my thighs.

I heard Dark groan and quickly covered up the white liquid with the dirt. I tried calming down to reduce the red that is visible on my face. I'm going to look suspicious just sitting here! I took out my map and pretended to be very interested in it. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed Dark waking up. He rubbed his eyes and looked around the room. I quickly averted my eyes to my map so I wouldn't meet his gaze. I felt his eyes on me and a grin on his face.

"Hey there," he chuckled. I looked up at him to see him rolling on his side. I raised an eyebrow and the weird action. He continued rolling until he ended up right next to me. I stared at him curiously as he continued giggling.

"And, do tell, what is so funny."

"Your face."

"That's such a childish remark," I replied rolling my eyes. I flipped the map vertically and looked at it that way.

"No seriously, your face is red," Dark grinned poking me cheek. I slapped his hand away and angrily stared down at the map, feeling my face turn even more red. Dark was leaning on his hand and looking at me through half lidded eyes.

"Because you just poked me, idiot," I groaned and stood up. I pushed the map in my pouch and brushed the dirt off my pants. I cracked my neck and froze when an arm wrapped around my waist and another reached across my face and touched my cheek.

"I think it's because of what we did last night."

"We didn't do anything."

"Yeah we did"

"No we didn't."

"I could refresh your mind..."

"Please don't"

"I touched you..."

"Dark..."

"You were a moaning mess..."

"I'm warning you..."

"You yelled my name.."

"I wanted to you to stop!"

"You screamed it in pleasure," Dark nuzzled his nose into my neck. I tried wiggling out of his grasp and he listened to my demands, letting me to.

"Let's just get this temple over with," I groaned.

*Time skip. I forgot how the temple looks (X Time Skip to the boss battle*

We entered a circular room with a couple of clay pots around it. Dark and I walked around and broke a couple, gathering hearts and fairies. We entered the boss room and need to be ready for what's coming. I captured 2 fairies and handed one to Dark. He took it in his hands and placed it into his pouch. I looked around trying to find how to get to the boss. There was a large hole in the ground but I don't think we jump down it...

"Do we just jump?" Dark questioned. We both stared down the hole and I bit my lip.

"It looks deep..."

"Welp, Lets go!"

"Go do what?!"

"Jump in?"

"Dark! If we fall to our doom because we jumped in a random hole then the whole world is dead."

"Do you see any other way?"

"No... but we aren't sure."

Dark sighed and walked around the hole inspecting the room. I joined him and inspected the other side. We walked around in circles until I heard a beating drum.

"Do you hear that?" I asked. Dark turned around and stopped moving. We listened closely and heard beating drums. We tried finding the source and ended up at the edge of the center hole. Dark and I exchanged quick glances and both nodded our heads. We jumped into the hole. I was surrounded by pitch black and got closer to a dim light on the bottom. I braced myself and landed on my feet on a weird floor. I bounced and yelped at the weird motion. Dark landed shortly after me and we both looked around. The room was large and was surrounded by green poison. A couple of torches lit up a circular platform and the floor started to shake. I bounced up into the air and reached over to Dark,grabbing his arm. I held onto him as we continuously bounced to the beating of a drum.

"The floor is the drum..." I heard Dark whisper. I looked down and recognized the skin of a drum. The floor vibrated to a constant beat.

BUM bum-bum-bum BUM bum-bum-bum BUM bum-bum-bum

I heard a growl and looked up into a pitch black area to be greeted with a giant eye. It stared at us as Gigantic hands hit the drum floor. The music increased as both of us made eye contact with the beast. It's the one that grabbed me earlier and dragged me to the Grave Yard. I do slightly recall a slight beating sound as I was being held...

I snapped myself out of my trance and let go of Dark. I eyed the beast and took out an arrow, aiming for the giant eye. I shot the eye but it got blocked off and the arrow landed on the ground. I heard Dark yelp and soon got knocked off my feet as a giant hand hit me. I fell on the ground and gasped for air. Pushing up, I lost balance as the beating of the drum continued. I tripped and fell into a torch, falling into the green poison. I coughed and stood up. Pain ripped through my body and I ran for the drum, wincing as shocks of pain sparked through my body. Dark was at the edge and offered his hand, pulling me up.

"The eye isn't an option..." I whispered half to myself.

"What else can we attack?"

"The hands are the only thing's exposed."

"How can an arrow to the hand hurt it though?!" I yelled. I heard another growl and jumped on Dark as another hand tried hitting us. I laid on Dark as I felt the cold wind rush above me. Our hearts were beating fast, and our reactions were even faster. Dark didn't have time to make a snide remark as I aimed my arrow at the left hand. Hitting it right on target, the hand fell limp. I smiled and nodded at Dark who smiled back. His eyes turned wide as he yelled for me to get down. I turned around to be met with a slap. My body was dragged across the drum. A loud thud echoed as I slammed into Dark,

luckily not falling into the poison. I sat up and placed a hand on forehead, feeling a dark liquid drip off. My forehead was bleeding and Dark's lip had a cut.

"Link, you okay!?" I shrugged it off and wiped the blood on my pants, leaving a dark stain. That's later's problem.

"Dark! Aim for the left hand. I'll get the right!"

Without another word, we both pulled out our arrows and shot at the hands. The beast let out a roar as both of its hands dropped limp. At that moment, the eye opened up and looked at us. It seemed enraged as large veins popped through the sides. I took out my arrow and shot at the eye. It closed instantly, blocking my hit. I growled and lost balance as the ground began to bounce again.

"We have to be faster!" Dark yelled over the loud music.

"I know... Try it again!"

The beast must have understood because right as I pulled out my arrow, the hand came forward and tried slamming into me. I hit it but didn't dodge as it hit me. I heard a crack and slammed onto the ground. I heard Dark pull his bow but soon after he came slamming into me. His nose was bleeding and my arm had a scrape. I looked down at my arm in pain. The scrape was large, as big a my entire back-hand. Dark's eyes were affectionate as he stared at my hand. His own hand came up as he pushed a piece of hair behind my hair. I chuckled and he smiled, but our laughter turned to fear as a large fist came crashing on us. We jumped and rolled out of the way before any damage was done. I shook my head and clenched my fists ignoring the pain. I twirled the arrow in my fingers and quickly shot the hand as it regenerated form the fist pound. The monster roared in surprise. I heard another yell and I quickly turned around to see Dark's arrow hitting the other hand. I took out my arrow and aimed at the eye that just opened. I shot it and another arrow came forward hitting it too. The beast yelled and started to charge forward. We both yelped as we were pushed into the poison.

We both winced in pain and ran towards the drum. I took out my hookshot and shot at the torch. I was dragged to the drum and grabbed Dark on the way. He had another cut on his cheek. I sighed and eyed the beast. I heard a weird bubbling noise and guessed he was laughing at us. I growled as the beat continued.

"Dark, it's going to charge at us. One you hit the hand, aim directly at the eye. Don't waste time."

He nodded and he both shot at the hands. One of the hands blocked it and the other Slammed towards us. We rolled off and I quickly shot at the other one. Both hands were shot and the eye opened up, charging at us. Dark and I pulled out our arrows and both shot at the eye. It growled and back away before damaging us. I let out a sigh and shook my head.

"One more time! Let's finish him!"

A hand moved around us and slammed down on the ground. I got knocked off my feet and my bow flew into the poison. I gasped and looked over at Dark who already shot one of the hands. He aimed for the eye which didn't appear and and looked over at me.

"My bow is gone!"

"Shit!"

"Dark!" I yelled pointing behind him. He didn't even glance back before rolling out of the way. I ran up to him and helped him up.

"Do you have anything else you can use?"

"I don't think I have anything to hurt it."

"Longshot!"

"What?"

"Try the longshot!"

"That's not going to work!" The beast growled and a fist came hurdling towards us. We jumped out of the way. My legs were tired and my body was exhausted. I don't think I can go on for any longer. I'm tired from jumping and dodging and aiming. Plus, the ground is bouncing so I can't stay still!

"Just try it!" I nodded my head and we split up. I aimed my longshot at the hand. It was harder to adjust and I couldn't aim at it directly. I heard the beast growl and turned around to see Dark shooting the other hand. The one in front of me started moving and I quickly shot it before it could hit me. The beast growled and Dark smiled. I chuckled too and positioned myself in front of the eye. Dark and I both shot out weapons and the beast let out a final screech. The hands pounded the drum quickly and intensely. Dark and I reached out and grabbed each other as we bounced around. The beating stopped as the monster stopped mid air and exploded. My legs shook on the drum and I fell down, pulling Dark with me. We sat there panting and coughing. I looked up at the heart container and reached out. I grabbed the glowing heart and held it in my hand. Looking over at Dark, I held the heart out.

"Touch it..." He complied and I closed my eyes as I felt the heart containers magic pouring into my veins. My deep wounds, like the cut on my head and arm, closed up but my scraped arm was still there. I looked over at Dark, who's eye just opened. His deeper wounds were healed too, but the cut on his cheek was still there. He looked at me and smiled, holding his hand up. I chuckled and we high fived. Almost instantly, Dark grabbed my hand and we intertwined our fingers. He sat like that for a while staring at each other smiling.

"You did great," Dark broke the silence.

"Look who's talking. You improved a lot since our last battle," I chuckled. I finally untangled our fingers and stood up, cracking my back. I took a step and wobbled but after a couple of steps rebalanced myself. Dark seemed fine and snickered at me. I mumbled a shut up as we walked into the glowing blue light.

End of Battle

Just like before, I was engulfed in blue light. Impa stood before me, her arms crossed against her chest. She nodded at me and smiled, but her smile turned into a frown when she spotted Dark.

"Who is that?"

"A friend," I took a step forward to intimidate her but I wasn't successful.

"A friend?"

"Yes."

"Where did you find this friend?"

"Uhh..."

"Link..."

"In the water temple..." I chuckled. I scratched the back of my head.

"Are you crazy!"

"He's a friend! He won't hurt me!"

"A friend who was created by Ganondorf?"

"He's different!"

"He is a creature of evil!"

"I trust him!" Dark wasn't able to communicate in this realm and he couldn't hear anything. If he did he would have been furious.

"He could kill you any minute."

"There were a thousand chances, and without him I would probably be already dead!"

"There is only one Hero, Link."

"Now there are 2" I growled at her. Her frown didn't falter and her face didn't seem a bit different. I didn't know if she was angry or annoyed. I know she wasn't proud of me and she didn't trust Dark, but I do.

"Zelda awaits you tomorrow at the Temple of Time."

"WE will be there," I emphasized.

"I hope you know what you're doing, Link," She glared at me as the lights brighten behind me. Before I knew it, I was transported to the forest. It was pretty dark and wet. I would have guessed it rained a couple of hours ago. I turned around to see Dark raising an eyebrow at me.

"She seemed angry."

"When is she not," I chuckled, "Let's head back." Dark and I headed back to the village. It was wet and my boots sank in the mud. Bugs were flying around and I tried swatting them away. The ground inclined as we headed slightly uphill to the village. The Sheikah built the village on a hill so if there was a dramatic increase in the river, then the village wouldn't flood.

"LINK!"

I tried turning around but couldn't as my foot was stuck in the mud. I yelped as I fell forward into the mud. Landing face forward, I brought up my hands to shield my face of getting hurt. I felt warm, wet, mud splash and heard a large thud and splash. I looked up and knelt down, staring at my brown clothing. My whole chest and legs were covered in mud, while my face had tiny streaks. My hair was clean and my had slightly dirtied at the tip.

"Come on!" I yelled agrily, slapping the muddy grown. A loud laughing broke the awkward silence of the forest. I turned around to see Dark bending over and clutching his stomach. His eyes were tightly shut and his mouth wide open as he laughed loudly. I felt my face turn bright red and I pouted angrily at him.

"What's so funny?" I spat. I immediately regret it. Of course he is laughing at me. I'm the one kneeling on the ground, covered in mud!

"Funny and adorable," he said through laughs. He was beginning to calm down and slightly opened his eyes.

"Adorable? I'm covered in wet dirt!" I crossed my arms, trying to standing up. My leg slipped on the mud and I fell backwards landing on my butt. I growled and Dark giggled again. He knelt down and brought his hand to my face, brushing away some of my dirty bangs.

"Adorable because you look like a chocolate covered strawberry with your red face and brown coating," he laughed again. I stared into his red eye and saw he was happy. I have never seen him smile like that before. Pure happiness. I smiled and soon after laughed along with him.

"Well, the strawberry could use some help getting up," I chuckled. Dark brought his hand to me and I reached over grabbing. I planned on just standing up normally but the devious teen in me, which I never was due to my time skip, took over. I tugged on his hand and smiled suggestively. Dark's eyes widened and he tried letting go of my hand, but I tightened my grip.

"Link... Don't even think about it," Dark chuckled pulling against me. I winked and threw him to the side. Dark yelped as he landed right on his back, covering the back of his body with mud. He had small mud splatters on the front and his whole head of hair was covered with mud. His black hair looked weird mixed in with the brown but his eyes looked spectacular.

"Link! I'm covered in mud!"

"Not entirely," I shrugged my shoulders. Reaching over, I grabbed a handful of mud and threw it at his chest. There was a large splat of mud on his chest and he stared at it incredulously.

"Now you look like a strawberry" I giggled. I didn't know I could giggle like that but it just came out of me. I guess even though I'm an adult on the outside, I'm still a child at heart.

"My face isn't red. I'm not blushing," he smirked at me. He is always trying to gain the upper hand. I dipped my hand in mud again and reached over to his flawless skin. I drew two circles on his cheeks as he eyed me curiously.

"Now you are," I smiled, "You have nice skin Dark."

"Thanks for covering them in mud," he chuckled. I moved back and smiled at the funny sight.

"You have nice hair..." Dark said reaching behind his back. My eyes widened and I tried moving away but dark grabbed my leg and pulled me closer to him. I covered my eyes as I felt a waterfall of mud landing on my head. Dark was silent but I knew he was smiling to himself. As the final drops fell, I removed my hands and shook the remaining mud drops off them. Without another word I grabbed mud and flung it at Dark, hitting him in the thigh. He both began to laugh and throw mud at each other. I stood up and ran a few feet away. Dark was sitting on the ground looking at me intensely. I shook my hips mockingly and threw more mud. As I was throwing the mud, 2 balls of mud hit me in the right hip and left knee. This game continued on until I ran out of wet mud on my side. I gasped and looked up to a grinning Dark.

Running forward I tackled Dark to the ground before he could throw more mud. I wrapped my arms around his waist and tucked my head into his chest, pushing all of my body weight forward. Dark gasped above me and I felt a slight thud before being flipped over. We rolled around a couple of times before I stopped right on top of Dark. I had a small smile on my face and Dark stared up at me deviously. We were both panting for breath. I was covered in mud and water, and the air just picked up causing a shiver to run down my back. Dark began to sit up and I sat comfortably in his lap. He brought his arms around me and hugged me tightly. I felt a rush of body heat pour onto me as we embraced. I hugged him back and smiled.

I'm so warm. I'm so happy. I'm not even worried. I'm in the middle of a forest where there could be danger at every corner but yet... I feel safe. I feel safe sitting here in Dark's arms. Sheik has held me before... but his hugs were stiff. I felt like something was going to pop out and attack me. Dark's hugs are different. They bring warmth and comfort to me. I felt a weird sensation in my chest. It felt as if someone let loose a hundred butterflies. Isn't this was girl say? That some people give them butterflies? They say that about the ones they love though. I don't love Dark.

I don't...

Love Dark...

I love him as a friend.

Ow

My heart ached. I gasped and Dark hugged me tighter. Tears began to fill my eyes.

I don't love Dark...

Ow

I don't...

Ow...

I closed me eyes, squeezing the tears out. I wiped them on Dark's neck, which was the probably the only part of his body not covered in mud. I stopped while my face was in his neck. I slightly inhaled taking in his scent.

He's nothing like Zelda...

Why... Why do I love Zelda?

I have never had a long conversation with her... I don't know anything about her except her appearance and that she's a princess. I know she loves me...

Ow

But Dark loves me too right? I mean why should I care... it's not like I love him back.

Ow

I accidentally let out a shuddered gasp and Dark let me go pulling me away to look at my face.

"Link, why are you crying? We are having fun aren't we?"

"I-I... I don't..."

Ow

I let go of Dark's waist and placed a hand on my heart, trying to ease the pain. Dark's red eyes stared at me with concern and I turned my head to the side to avoid his gaze. I felt a small grip on my chin as my face was turned back. He looked at me curiously and also placed a hand on my heart. I felt my heart pick up speed and I tried to calm it down.

"You're... not going to kiss me... right?" I asked curiously. I want his kiss. I want his kiss really badly...

"No... You don't love me. I'm not going to force myself on you, Link."

Goddess! He's loyal too. I want him. I want his warmth and his love...

I reached up and touched his hair. I closed my eyes tightly and leaned in to kiss Dark.

The pain went away.

IMPORTANT OK guys, So I'm getting bored of this story so I decided that I am going to skip the Spirit Temple. Maybe I'll write a short sequel and it will involve the Desert temple but not now.
