Kagome was running. Running and running, until her legs felt numb. Trees, and landmarks, flew by her in a blur. She didn't know where she was going, nor did she care. The only thing she knew, was that her feet was guiding her someplace peaceful, safe. She did not question them when they brought her in front of a church, nor did she stop herself from going inside.
It was so quiet, and everything she did sent echoes bouncing back into her ears. It felt so perfect and pure. Her legs buckled, just as she came upon an alter. Laying her head on her arms, she finally broke down. She wept and cried onto the cold stone. Every sob and whimper, echoed back to her, as if showing her own sadness. At least here, she was alone, and no one would hear her sad wails.
Her chest ached and her body felt cold. Once again, she was hurt. She did not know why it hurt her so much, but it did. Is that all she was good for? Being used? First Inuyasha, now him. Why did she have to join him? Why did she have to get so comfortable with him? How did it end up like this? In such a short time, she got so attached to the strangely dressed elf. Like some invisible force pulled them together and kept them tied to each other. Each look and touch gave ourselves such a warm and happy feeling, not wanting it to end.
Then reality came crashing down, and broke everything up. Telling them, he had his own life, and she had hers. She would have to leave, back to her own world, and leave him to his. This fact distraught her greatly. She did not want to go back to her world. A life full of demons and jewels was not something she wanted. She wanted to stay here, in this slightly small and almost peaceful land.
She brought all her anger, sadness, hate and took it out on the poor hero. For that, she was sorry, she felt horrible. She should not have done that, but she did. When she heard he had another, all the memories of the past came back to her and she just could not take it. And so she left, she left him, and all the memories he made her remember. But she could not run from the past, for they soon followed, coming back to hunt her.
Why did she have to befriend such a kind and caring man? It was so different, it felt so warm. She cried and cried, until she could not think and the only sound where her own sobs echoing in her ears. Sitting and crying, her chest hurt and her mind went blank.
Link, was dumbfounded,. He did not know what happened. Trying to think of a reason, any reason, for something that he did, or might have done, to cause the kind girl to crack and hit him. Then she just ran off, saying she was no longer going to help him. This fact made his heart sink and his chest feel heavy. He was, yet again, alone, and it was not a comforting feeling to him, any longer.
He wanted to go after her, look for her, and tell her he was sorry, for whatever it was that he did. Then hold her close and smell her sweet sent. But he found himself stuck, he could not go after her. He had a task to do, he must defeat Ganondorf. So he did the only thing he could think of, he got on Epona and rode back to Kakariko Village. He tried to will the images of the kind girl from his mind, but he could not. Even when he entered the town, and a dark aura surrounded him, all he could think about was her.
It wasn't until Sheik was blown away by an evil entity did it snap him out of his thoughts. Link quickly rushed to the male, pulling out his sword and shield. The black mass of evil floated around the village before setting it's sights on Link. It rushed at him, and Link wasn't expecting to get his ass beat. But he did, only to wake up a short time later. Sheik helped him up before speaking to him.
"Link. A terrible thing has happened! The evil shadow spirit has been released! Impa, the leader of the Kakariko Village, had sealed the evil shadow spirit in the bottom of the well." He motioned his head toward, said well, before continuing. "But the force of the evil spirit got so strong, the seal of the well broke, and it escaped into the world! I believe Impa has gone to the Shadow Temple to seal it again, but she will be in danger without any help! Link! Impa is one of the six Sages." This fact surprised Link. "Destroy the evil shadow spirit and save Impa!"
"There is an entrance to the Shadow Temple beneath the graveyard behind this village. The only thing I can do for you is teach you the melody that will lead you to the Shadow Temple." He then pulled out his harp and Link took out his Ocarina. They then preceded to make beautiful music together. Then it was all over. "Let me take care of the village! I'm counting on you, Link!" He then used his flash bomb's and disappeared.
It was at that moment, Link knew what he must do. Go to the past, turn into a small child, and crawl into the well. Cause you know, he's so awesome like that, he knows everything.
Well, as you know, things in the real life don't turn out that way. He is in fact, not that awesome, and didn't know anything. So going on a whim, he used the song and went strait to the Shadow Temple. But, as luck would have it, a few steps into the dungeon and he could not even pass the first puzzle, and go through the gate. It said he could not pass till he got a item to help him see the truth. He huffed, not knowing what to do. It was at that time that Navi decide to show up an use her infinite wisdom to guide Link in the right direction.
"Hey, why don't you go to the Temple of time."
"Why?"
"I don't know, just do it." She then went back into hiding, satisfied she did something to help. Link just shrugged, and not having any other leads to go on, went to the Temple of time.
After defeating all the Re-dead, looming over the town square he stood in front of a familiar building. So many things happened in this Quiet structure. Where he pulled out the master sword. Where he woke up seven years later. Where he first meet Sheik. Even when he unlocked the Triforce and Ganon stole it's power. This is where it all started.
As he walked through the quiet building, something sounded in his ears, making them twitch. The Temple, was no longer silent. Small cries and whimpers could be heard, and the sad sounds made his chest tighten. When he walked out of the dark hallway, and into the main area, his heart jumped into his throat.
In front of the sacred altar, that held the three Spiritual Stones, was Kagome. She was crying. Her shoulders would shake every now and then, when she let loose a small sob. The sound felt so sad, he thought his heart would break. He softly walked up to her, but she was so tuned out, she did not hear him. Now standing behind her, his eyes softened. Did he do this?
He reached out and touched her shoulder. She instantly gasped, and spun around. Quicker then he could blink she was on her feet and had her sword out. The blade nicked his neck, but he did not faultier or back away, he stood strong.
Her face was pale and tears still continued to fall, even when her face was serious. She was glaring at him, as if about to kill. Until he saw her eyes widen. Feeling the blade slide off his shoulder before a loud clang of metal against stone rang into his ears.
"Kagome…" He spoke so low, as if afraid. Afraid he would scare her and she would run off again.
"Link, I'm so sorry-- I didn't mean to--" She brought her hands up to her chest and looked down sadly. Not wanting to look at him in the eyes.
"Your crying." He reached out and gently touched her cheek.
She flinched and his heart stopped. Why did such a small act make him feel so bad? But he did not stop, he only moved forward and tried to brush the tears away. They was replaced by new ones, and soon overwhelmed him, starting to slide over his fingers.
"So sad." He whispered.
Reaching under her chin, he tilted her head up to look at him. He cringed, seeing the hurt in her eyes. How could he cause so much pain to such a beautiful creature. He did not like seeing her like this. She looked so frail and small.
"Please don't cry." He begged.
He bent down slowly, and placed his hot tongue against her cold cheek. Hearing her take a sharp breath of air, he preceded to lick the tears away. Her body was trembling, so he pulled her closer to him and wrapped his free arm around her small waist. She started to wiggle, he only held her tighter, not willing her to escape. The hand under her chin made her head tilt up, and to the side, allowing for better access to the sweet liquid, rolling down her cheeks.
His chest started to make a soft rumble, making soothing purrs come forth to comfort her. Soon the watery droplets stopped flowing and he gently kissed the corners of her eyes, taking away any tears left behind. Seeing that she was still shaking, he started to whisper soft nothings into her ear. He didn't stop, until the small girl sighed in delight and he felt warmth escape her flushed cheeks in embarrassment.
He chuckled and let her go. He was surprised when she did not move away, but came closer and purred into his chest. She wrapped her arms around his waist and he smiled.
"Thank you, Link." She mumbled, before pulling away from him. She couldn't understand why such a strange act soothed her and she stopped crying.
"I'm sorry." He spoke softly. "I'm sorry that I hurt you. But your tears was so sad. I couldn't bare to see you like that." She blushed and turned her head away.
"I-It was not you... I mean, it was--" She saw him flinch and she sighed. "But its only because you made me remember something. You did not mean to, and for that I am sorry I hit you." She reached up and touched the cheek that she had struck before.
He raised his hand, and placed it on top of her own. He is so kind, and warm. Unlike…
"Inuyasha." A sob escaped her lips as she whispered the dog demon's name.
She felt the hold on her hand tighten. She looked down, not wanting him to see that, once again, tears were filling her eyes. He must have saw them, even with her movement, and he lowered her hand, away from his cheek. Picking her up softly, he sat down on the alter, with her on his lap. She did not fight him, instead she rested her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. This feeling was so warm, it felt so nice, she did not want it to go away. She raised her hand and placed it over his heart, feeling it pulse beneath her touch, she sighed. One arm was wrapped around her waist, and he raised the other and placed it over her own, once more. Gently he caressed her knuckles with his thumb in a soothing manner.
"I loved him." She suddenly spoke. She felt his body tighten and he's heartbeat sped up. But she continued. "It was not until later, that I found out that he loved another." She wanted- needed to tell him. "He was only using me, cause I looked similar to his old lover." Tears started to fall down her cheeks once more. "In the end, he said that he did not love me, and that he could only love her." Her body started to trembling slightly, holding back the sobs that threaten to escape. "It hurt- So much…" Her voice was cracked and she could no longer talk about it, for fear of breaking down again. She blinked, when her body started to vibrate from a deep rumble underneath her. Link was growling.
"He was a fool." Link spoke, his voice was serious. "Only a fool would pass up a beautiful gem laying right in front of their eyes." She felt him gently run his fingers through her hair. "So do not waste your sweet tears on fools like him." Tilting her chin up, he started to lick her tears away, yet again.
She bushed, and the kind words. The soft act made her forget all about the pain and sorrow. Closing her eyes, she sighed as he kissed the corners, signaling her tears have ended. How does such a strange act seem to comfort her? She slowly opened her eyes and could only see icy blue. Blushing, she turned her head away from the handsome face, not liking the closeness.
"Y-you should not be doing this." She looked down, sadly. "You have another as well, waiting for you." Speaking softly, she sighed.
"You mean Ruto?" He purred her name, and her chest suddenly felt tight. "She and I are too different. She is a Sage. She must protect the Water Temple." He sighed and placed Kagome back on to her feet and stood up. "Plus, I do not love her." Turning around, he stared at the blue stone, with a distance look on his face. "It was a vow we made. We were but children back then. It seems she fancied me and took it to heart and was hurt when she could not be with me."
So, he does not love her? She placed her hand over her beating heart. Why does this make her happy? It stayed quiet between them, till a soft noise from behind broke the silence. They both turned around to see Sheik.
"Did I interrupt anything?" Kagome and Link both blushed. "Link, In order to awaken all the Sages, you must become even more powerful. You must travel over darkness. Under sand. And even through time." Kagome shifted in surprise at that statement. "If you want to return to your original time, return the Master Sword to the Pedestal of Time. By doing this, you will travel back in time, seven years." It was Link's turn to shift in uneasiness.
"The time will come when you will have to return here quickly. I will teach this to you for when that time comes. A song to return you back to the Temple of Time. The Prelude of Light."
Kagome then sighed as Sheik pulled out his harp and Link took out his Ocarina and started to play another song. It sounded nice and calming so she did not might it as much as the others, and was saddened when it stopped.
"As long as you hold the Ocarina of Time and the Master Sword, you hold time itself in your hands." He took a few steps back. "Till we meet again." A bright flash covered his escape once again.
"You know." Kagome spoke, once the light faded. "That's still hot."
"What is?"
"You kissing another man." She stated and nodded her head in agreement.
"I am not gay."
"So? Doesn't mean you kissing another man isn't sexy." She closed her eyes. After a few seconds her face turned red. "Woo…" She waved her hand over her heated cheeks.
He snorted and left Kagome to her fantasies and walked into the Master Sword chamber. When she saw she was being left behind, again. Quickly she picked up her sword from the floor and ran after him, telling him to wait for her. By the time she reached him, he was in front of a stone mount and had his sword out.
"So you really going to try?" He shrugged. "Do you even know what your doing?"
"It seemed simple enough. Wait here till I return." He spoke to her over his shoulder.
"So your just going to leave me and go off into the past by yourself." She huffed.
"Yes, that's pretty much the plan." He smirked when she objected, and he stabbed the sword into the stone anyway.
A bright blue light surrounded Link. She gasped as he started to disappear. Feeling a pulse at her hip, she looked down. Her eyes widened when she saw she was disappearing as well. She closed her eyes when white light flooded her vision. She did not open them until she hear A squeak beside her.
"Kagome!?" Looking down, she saw a little child Link, dressed in a green shirt and shorts. She squealed and picked him up, hugging him to her chest.
"Oh Linky-boo, you look so cute!" She placed a, now, red Link back on the floor before she started to pinch his cheeks. "Look at you and your little chubby cheeks! You are such a cutie. Yes you are!"
"Kagome, would you please stop the name calling." He coughed. Aww, he's little child voice is so squeaky!
"Of course little Linky!" His blush deepened.
"What are you doing here? I thought I told you to wait." He tried to sound angry.
"Well it's not like I had any control over it or something." She huffed.
"I guess you'll just have to come along then." He sighed and walked out of the Temple. Kagome not far behind.
She gasped, the place was so different then before. There was people singing and dancing, the castle was so beautiful and nothing looked dead or creepy. She felt a little hand wrap around her finger and she looked down.
"Would be best if we stuck close." Link was blushing and he started to pull her through the crowded town square. She smiled. He was so cute.
We was now at Kakariko Village and Link still held her hand. She didn't mind, it was rather sweet. He didn't let go until we reached a well.
"Wait here, I'll be right back." He then ran off and into the Windmill house.
Kagome just stood there, until she saw the water from the well start to drain. She raised an eyebrow at Child Link as he walked out of the building and hopped down the stairs. She smiled and he waddled up to her.
"Okay, all done." He started to climb down the well and she looked at him.
"Your going to go down there?"
"Yes?" He then preceded down to the bottom. He stood there a minute before look up at her. "I'm sorry Kagome but you can't come. The hole down here is only big enough for me to fit through."
"That's fine." She quickly said. "You have fun down there, in that deep dark hole, and look out for spiders." She shivered thinking of the disgusting creatures. Why was there so many of them in this world?
"Gee, Thanks a lot." He then crawled into the hole, and she couldn't see him anymore.
She was glad she didn't have to go down there. She hated spiders, and the darkness. Sitting down on the ground, she propped her back against the stone well and closed her eyes, sighing. It wasn't to long before she was thinking of a certain elf-man.
It was strange, how she was so quick to forget everything and just relax in his hold. So warm and strong, not to mention the licking. She shivered. His tongue was so wet and hot, it made her face flushed just thinking about it. How did that weird licking even calm her down? She did not know. Maybe this world was effecting her in a different way, making her act like this. No, she did not think so. She was glad he was there, and for what he did, even if it was a little strange. How was he effecting her this way?
She looked to her right and saw a building still under construction. That was going to be a accuracy, game shop, in seven years. Sighing, she wished it was here, now, maybe she could have a little fun while she waited.
Why was she even here, sitting at this well? Probably has something to do with the next Sage, she guessed. Why was these temples so puzzling? Full of traps, monsters and strange switches. Like the Demon at the end of the Temples wasn't strong enough, Ganondorf had to put a bunch of doors and keys between them and us. Like he was bored and wanted to watch us, just to entertain himself. She only knew one man who would do something stupid like this…
"Naraku." She growled, speaking the Spider demon's name.
When this little adventure was over, she had to go back into her own time and defeat him. She was not looking forward to spending another year searching for the half breed. All she wanted to do is relax, spending a happy, normal life, in peace and have a family. Living a long boring life and dying old. That was her dream. Snorting she looked down at herself. But look at her, she found herself, yet again, in another world, and in the past. Why was it like this? Why was she like this?
It was like she was born just to grow up and have a strange, adventurous life, teleporting from one world to another. Finding even stranger, handsome men, who just can't wait to join in the fun. She was destined for this to happen, to run around with strange men, while they do strange things in strange worlds, having strange conversations and meeting strangers who just happen to have strange lives, and they all end up living in strange huts and she will eventually have strange families.
"RAHHH!" She roared into the sky.
All this nonsense was giving her a headache. She couldn't think anymore. Hating how things turned out the way they did. Resting her aching head on the cold stone, she looked up into the night sky. When did it turn dark? Sighing, she was again questioning. Maybe this world just went by faster then hers? That must be it. That was the solution to everything. Hell, multi- frogs could be singing and talking to people in the river and the only thing she could think of would be. "This is normal in this world." And would leave it at that. Unknown to her, in the past, there are frogs who do just that, in Zora's River. (Lol)
Everything seems so similar to her world, yet so different. She just shrugs off everything strange and weird as if it was nothing new. She soaks up what little information that Link is willing to give her and goes on. Its like, she is use to this or something. Well, she is use to being in a new world but this is different. She is stuck in a different dimension, not the past. Well, she is in the past, but not her past. Its Link's past, but it's not like there's a big difference like it is with her past, it's just seven years, not 500. Not to mention- -
She stopped herself from having any more thoughts, it was starting to fry her brain and she felt stupid for even thinking of these ridicules, random, thoughts that led to nothing. She hoped Link would be back soon, before she had to kill herself with this meaningless babble.
Link has just received the Lens of Truth after defeating the monster, Dead Hand. He was now on his way to Kagome. It wasn't as scary as he thought it would be down there. Just a few monsters and only one or two puzzles, wasn't all that bad really. He was glad when he saw the exit and started to climb out of the well. He wanted to get to the Shadow Temple as soon as possible.
Jumping out of the well he landed beside Kagome. She had her head against the well and her eyes was closed. Was she asleep? He walked up to her and poked her shoulder.
"Hey, Kagome. Now is not the time to be sleeping." He tried to wake her.
"Oh, Shippo." She whispered. "You naughty little kit, I don't want to get up yet." Reaching out, she grabbed Link and pulled him close to her body.
Link blushed as she used him as a pillow to snuggle onto, while they laid on the cold ground. How does he get into these sort of things? And who is this Shippo?
"Mommy missed you so much." She started to rub her cheek against, Link's own chubby ones, lovingly.
"MOMMY!?" Link screamed.
Kagome was startled awake by the yell and looked down into her arms. Turning blood red she let go of the small elf and stood up.
Link blushed, and brushed off his clothes, getting out all the wrinkles before coughing.
"I got what I needed, we should be heading back now." She just nodded, not looking at him, and they went back to the Temple.
Link just couldn't believe what he heard. He looked over at Kagome as they was walking towards the castle. She looks so young, how could she have a child? Could she have had it without wedlock? That would be the only reason how, but who-- He growled, it must be that Inuyasha person. No wonder she was so heart broken, he left her there to care for their child. How could he treat her like that.
"Link?" Kagome's voice broke his thoughts.
"Yes?" He looked up at her, she blushed and turned away.
"I'm sorry, it's just, you looked so cute like that. With that serious look on your face." She brought her hands up to her cheeks and made a small squeal, and he blushed. "But I have to ask, you seem so out of it-- Did I say anything strange while I was sleeping?"
"Well-- How old are you Kagome?" The question surprised her, for she blinked then blushed.
"I'm 17... Oh! I didn't say anything … you know." Her voice got low, but he heard it. "Dirty?" He laughed. "Cause I'm sorry for whatever I said- I'm not usually that kind of girl and I--"
"N-no, no. You just mentioned someone named Shippo." He tried to reassure her.
"Oh…" Her head dropped and she looked extremely saddened. "I do miss him greatly." She sighed.
"I am sorry that you can not see him." He turned his head away. "I can tell he is someone very important to you." He tried not to tell her, he knew she had a son.
"Yes, he is very precious to me." She suddenly giggled. "He would always laugh and play jokes on everyone. You remind me a lot of him in this form, Link." She looked at him with such love in her eyes, it made him blush. "He is about the same height at you are now. Boy's grow up so quickly." She smiled to herself. "I'm sorry, I did not mention him before."
"You did not mention anything about yourself before. I'm glad you are sharing this with me now." He saw her blush and he smiled.
"I'm so sorry, you must think I'm such a rude person."
"No, not at all. I would never think such a thing about you Kagome."
"T-thank you." She smiled as we entered the Temple. "Two years ago." She suddenly spoke, as we were standing in front of the pedestal. "I found Shippo. He had no parents so I took him in and made him part of the family. He is like a son to me." Speaking kindly as she talked about the past. Link smiled
"I see. That was very sweet of you. It sounds like you treasure him very much, and that makes me quite jealous." He smirked. He didn't know why, but that news made him happy.
"Oh, poor Linky-boo, I'll give you some affection too!" She hugged him around his neck. "There, I bet you feel all better now." She kissed him on the cheek and he's face instantly flushed red.
He coughed and pushed her away slightly before turning around and pulling out the Master Sword. Hearing her go into fits of giggles, as they both was surrounded by light, being brought back into their real time. Once everything was clear, Link could still hear Kagome's laughter as he put the Master Sword away.
"Actually." Link spoke, His manly voice returned. "I still feel a little jealous." He pulled her close, wrapping his arms around her shoulders. She blushed and pushed him away. "What? No kiss?" He frowned and put his hand over his chest. "That hurts my feelings."
"Well, you'll just have to deal with it."
"Ouch, so cold. Are you only this way towards men?"
"Yes." She huffed and turned around, walking towards the exit.
"Wait now, are you saying the only way I can get any affection around here is for me to stay a kid forever?!"
"Yep, your cuter that way." He hissed and she laughed. She felt him grab her hand and spin her around, back into his chest.
"And what if I object to those conditions?"
"Well, you don't have a choice in the matter, I just don't find you…" She paused and looked at him up and down. She blushed and looked away. "Attractive enough to get my attention."
"Oh? And what if I said you was lying?" She huffed and he smirked. "Oh well, sooner or later you'll fall for me, you'll see. They all do eventually." He heard her give an un-ladylike snort He laughed and pulled out his Ocarina and played the tune to bring them to the Shadow Temple.
Once the purple lights teleported them to the Temple, Link walked forward. He already opened the Temple gate, so he wasn't to worried about it. When he got to the gap in the hallway, he used his longshot to go over it, while Kagome, just jumped over, like it was nothing. He sighed, wishing he could do that. How does she do that anyway? She wasn't able to before. Maybe because she was to weak? He shrugged, not really minding.
"Oh, and don't worry about this wall Kagome." He spoke, pointing towards the dead end, ahead of them. It was dark purple and had a clown on it, which was very strange to Link. "It's fake, so you can just walk right through it."
"What wall?" She spoke, confused.
"The wall, right in front of us."
"I don't see a wall." She stating.
"Really?" He was quite shocked.
"Yes…?" She then started to walk ahead of him and he shrugged.
They came upon a room beyond the fake wall. He was already in here, it was the place he got stuck at.
"The sign says only the person with the eyes of truth could see the true skull and open the gate." He grumbled and pulled out the Lens of truth he got from the well.
"Well, I only see one skull, is that the one your looking for?" He coughed and looked at her strangely again. He then got an idea and looked through the Lens, and found that only one skull wasn't fake.
"Kagome?" He walked up to the skull and pointed to it. "Is this the skull you see?"
"Yes." She nodded.
"Hmm." He sighed. "It seems you can "See the truth." without the need for these lens." He snorted. "If I'd known that, It would have saved me the trouble of going into the past and retrieving this thing." He shrugged. Oh well, can't change it now. Hearing her giggle behind him he sighed.
He then started to push the eagle statue around, till it faced the only true skull. A noise was heard and the clown mouth opened up. The only problem, was a 10 foot gap between us and it.
"Just great, how are we suppose to get over there?" He grumbled.
"I can make that, no problem." She gloated.
"But I can't-"
"I can help you?"
"No thanks, I have a feeling there's going to be a lot more of this later on. There has to be something around here to help me cross."
"Well, there's a door over there. You could try there?"
"I don't see a--" He paused and pulled out his Lens, looking through. "Ah, I see." He put it away.
Then he and Kagome walked through the fake wall and into the door on the other side. It wasn't to long before we found our way through the small maze and through the walls leading to a small room. It locked us inside and Link saw a familiar, white, hands sticking up from the ground.
"Don't get caught in those hands, it's a monster and he will trap you if your not careful." Link spoke a warning to her. She just nodded and pulled out her staff.
Link pulled out his bomb and threw it on the ground. It exploded and forced the submerged creature unto the surface. He heard Kagome screech and start saying how gross the Dead Hand was and how it made a horrible sound as it walked. Link just laughed and watch her poke the 'gross' creature with her staff. He watched as the Dead Hand chomped down on the offending weapon and wouldn't let go.
Kagome yelled at the monster and pulled on her staff. She growled then her hands glowed pink. Link was about to ask her what she was doing, but was cut off. The staff was enveloped in the same color before the Beast wailed in pain and suddenly burst into dust and left a cloud of smoke in it's wake.
After the dust was clear and Link was able to breath again, he saw a chest in the middle of the room. He shrugged and opening it. Inside was the Hover Boots. He smiled and put them on. His grip on the ground wasn't as solid and he slipped around before he found his balance again. He congratulated Kagome on a job well done, on what she did to beat that monster, and continued forward into the Shadow Temple.
With Kagome at his side, Link did not have any reason to take out the lens. That fact, did not mean the Shadow Temple puzzles was any easier. There was many things that littering the area that freaked her out. There was ghouls, scythes, guillotines, spikes, traps and many, many bottomless pits. She said she was fine, but he knew the blood and monsters freaked her out. She was practically shaking when we finally reached the boss.
She did not seem to want to jump down the pit in the center of the room. It took many minutes for Link to persuade her to go. She said that there was much darkness down there, and he had to promise to make this battle quick as they could before she would go.
"Okay, Kagome. I promise. Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you." She seemed more calmed at his words and nodded. He picked her up and jumped down the pit.
He was slightly surprised by what awaited them at the bottom. He placed Kagome down quickly. They was on top of a drum like structure and nothing but darkness surrounded him. Suddenly a loud bang ran through the area and a thump ran through the floor under there feet. Dark hands appeared and started to beat on the drum they stood on.
They was sent into the air, before hitting the ground, only to be put back into the air. He was beating the drum to an imaginary music and the monster roared.
"Link!" Kagome yelled at him. "I'll hit the hands while you attack his unguarded groin." Link pulled out his Lens and looked.
"I don't think that's his--"
"Just shut up and do it!" She ordered him, calling her Hiraikotsu.
He sighed and pulled out his bow. It was rather difficult to aim, with all the bouncing around. Even with the hover boot equipped, he did not stay in the air long enough to get a good shot. He looked to Kagome, just as she jumped 20 feet into the air and threw her boomerang. Link's jaw dropped. How did she jump so high? It flew in the air and down upon both hands with great accuracy, before coming back into it's awaiting master's hands.
"Link!" She yelled at him.
"Oh- Right…" He then fired his arrow at the beast's belt.
The monster leaned over as if in pain and his belt opened up. Link rushed forward and got a few good hit in with his sword, before it roared and jumped away. He heard Kagome curse and he sighed. Why is she in such a hurry? Hearing the female call his name once again, he looked up. His eyes widened, seeing the hands surround him, palm open.
They closed in on him and he had no time to react. He clamped his eyes shut, waiting for the impact. It never came. He slowly opened them back up, hearing a cracking noise ahead of him. It was Kagome, she blocked the attack by sandwiching her staff between the two hands. She had her jaw clinched, and her knuckles was white. She looked at him over her shoulder and smirked.
"You should be more careful. I won't always be here to save you." She preached.
The monster roared. She roared back and threw her Boomerang at the offending hands. They turned blue and he started to shake them, in pain. Calling her bow, she took aim and fired at the beat. A pink power emanated from the bow, lighting the whole darkness, before it hit its target. The monster roared in pain, before it dissolved into a puddle of blackness. It too, was soon gone into nothingness, only to be replaced by a familiar blue portal. He heard her sigh and walk into the light. All he could do was smile at the powerful girl and follow her.
We found ourselves back into the chamber of Sages. Impa was waiting for us standing upon the purple platform.
"The boy with the noble Zelda's Ocarina. As I expected, you have come." Impa spoke to him. "But I did not expect you to have help." She nodded to Kagome. "I am Impa, one of the Sheikah. I am Princess Zelda's caretaker, and I am also the Sage who guards the Shadow Temple."
"We Sheikah have served the royalty of Hyrule from generation to generation as attendants. However. On that day seven years ago, Ganondorf suddenly attacked, and Hyrule Castle surrendered after a short time. Ganondorf's target was on of the keys to the Sacred Realm, the hidden treasure of the Royal Family. The Ocarina of Time." Link was not surprised. "My duty bound me to take Zelda out of Ganondorf's reach. When last I saw you, as we made our escape from the castle, you were just a lad. Now I see that you have become a fine hero." Kagome nudged his side in congratulations and he smirked.
"There's nothing to worry about. The Princess is safe now. Soon you'll meet Princess Zelda face-to-face, and she will explain everything. That is when we, the six Wise Ones, will seal up the Evil King and return peace to Hyrule." She paused and let us take in all this information, before speaking again. "I have to stay here. You go to Princess Zelda's side and protect her on my behalf. Now I put my power, which should be helpful to you, into this Medallion." The Shadow Medallion came forth and Link received it. "Pleas look out for the Princess!" Impa spoke her last words before they was lifted from the chamber and back into the graveyard.
Link sighed as his feet touched the floor and he started to exit the site. Kagome wasn't far behind, and she looked deep in thought. He did not want to bother her so he continued onward. It was not until we left the city, did she speak.
"So, we are going to meet the princess soon?" Link nodded. "Does she know what's going on?" He nodded again. "Does that mean she's like… all-knowing or something? Why didn't she just charge in and do all this stuff? Its her land after all, right?"
"She is wise, yes, but she does not have the strength alone. That is why we are awakening the Sages, to help her." Standing beside Epona, Link lifted himself onto the wonderful beat and helped Kagome up as well. He heard Kagome sigh. "Is something wrong?"
"No, it's just, we are doing all this stuff and it doesn't seem like we are going anywhere." She admitted.
"Well we only have one Sage to go." She snapped her head up and looked at him. He laughed. "And if you haven't noticed the air is clean, the water is blue, and the forest is peaceful. I believe that is more then enough proof to tell us that we have done something to help this land." She nodded and did not ask anymore questions.
He smiled and clicked his tongue. Epona then trotted off, in the direction to the Gerudo Fortress.
