Link did not rush to his destination, instead he choose to take his time. He enjoyed the company behind him and would like to keep it that way as long as he could. Hearing the tapping of the blade against the young women's hips sent his eyes to look down at the noisy item. This would be the first time he got a good look at the deadly weapon, when it wasn't pointed at him, that is.
It looked so similar to the Master Sword, it was quite shocking to him. If it wasn't for the tightly woven fabric around the hilt, he would say they was identical. He shook his head. It couldn't be, The Master Sword, was one of a kind.
"You find my thighs interesting, you pervert?" Kagome's angry voice flowed into his ears and he blushed.
"I was not looking at your plump, creamy white, and oh-so smooth thighs. I assure you."
"Oh, yeah, I believe you."
"I am shocked you would think so low of me." He frowned. "I do not like people accusing me of such things, especially when I am innocent of such fowl acts." She snorted at his reply. There was a long pause before Link spoke again.
"Kagome there's been something I've been meaning to ask you--"
"For the last time I will not let you fill me up. You horny, horny elf man." His face turned red.
"W-What?!" He stuttered.
"Don't be so shocked at my answer."
"I'm not-- I mean, that is not what I was going to ask you!" He glared over his shoulder at her.
"Oh… Then what is it?"
"I was wondering about your weapons. They are so strange, and yet you wield them with such grace. Your movements are so quick and precise. I am quite shocked and amazed at how powerful you are." He smirked when he saw her blush at his compliment.
"Well, thank you." Her blushed deepened. "My weapons are very special to me, they was given to me by my friends. They taught me how to wield and use them in battle. But my sword." She paused and looked at her sword. "My sword is different. I found it one day. It was embedded into the trunk of a, well known, tree in my land. I was surprised to see it just stuck there. The hilt was warped and discolored, so I wrapped it with some cloth, but other then that, the blade was perfectly fine. I called it my own and I later found a wonderful master who taught me how to wield it properly."
"You act as if this just happened recently." He noted.
"Well all of this happened on my 16 birthday, when my friends gave me these weapons." If Link remembered correctly she said she was 17 years of age. Link was shocked, she received and learned how to use these strange weapons in just a year? "But I found my blade half a year before that. So it hasn't been to long, but I think I'm just a fast learner." She smiled up at him. He couldn't help but smile back at her.
They were now entering the Gerudo Valley. Once Link saw the bridge was out, he pulled on the reins for Epona to stop. Epona could jump this, but he wasn't sure if she could with both of us on board. He looked back at Kagome and she nodded, as if reading his mind. She jumped off of the horse and stood back. Link kicked Epona sides and the horse neighed and galloped off towards the bridge. Easily sailing over the gap and onto the other side, Link smiled.
Following them soon after, was Kagome. Taking to the air and landing as if it was no problem to her. She strolled up to the horse and patted her in praise. That was another thing that Link could not understand. How did she jump so high and land so gracefully?
He quickly got off the horse, and went to talk to a familiar face. It was the old builder, these past years have not been kind to him, he has gotten old. Link started a conversation and he quickly talked about the bridge and how he and he sons was going to repair it. Soon they got obsessed with the Gerudo Thieves and want to be just like them and ran off. Probably got themselves captured and put into cages, locked up somewhere. He then asked Link to go free them so he could finish the bridge and be done with the job. Link nodded then preceded to walk to the Fortress.
"So you really going to go in there? They say it's nothing but women and they lock away any men who come into the area." He nodded. He knows the risks. "Well, I'm not going to stop you. You go on your little fun quest of rescue, I'll wait here for your return." She waved to him.
"Your not coming? Usually you're the one to run head first into something like this."
"Yeah, I know. I figured I would let you give it a shot. When you get caught, failing miserably, I will show up and save you."
"Gee, Thanks for the vote of confidence." He spoke sarcastically and snorted.
"Your welcome." She smiled, and waved one last time, before he walked away.
Link believed he was doing very well. It took him a while, but he was able to go through the security around the building and was able to sneak inside. After a little poking around he found one of the four men. When he walked to the cage he started to speak. He went on and on about who he was and why he was there, how he got caught-- It was all very boring to Link and he started to dose off…
"Hey! Look out!" The man shouted.
"Uh?" Suddenly Links world went black.
Link groaned as he pried himself off of the wooden floor. Where was he? He looked around. Stone walls was all around him and the only light came from two windows. One was above him, 20 feet up. And another was at the side of the wall, with a wooden cover over it. What happened? He remembered seeing one of the men. How he bored Link to death with is senseless babble, then he got hit in the back of the head and passed out. Link sighed. It seems he was captured. Hearing a sing song laughter above him, he looked up.
"It seems, I didn't have to wait very long, after all." She giggled at his predicament.
"Aw, whatever." He grumbled.
She threw a rope ladder down, and Link started to climb. Once he reached the top he sighed. He couldn't believe that she had to save him like this. It was so embarrassing. He snorted and jumped off the wooden ledge in front of him. He landed on top of the roof on the main building and walked to the door leading inside. Kagome followed him not far behind.
It soon came back to the place he was captured at. The man was shocked to see me and started to talk again. Link groaned. After he was done, he yelled for Link to look out. He was ready this time and pulled out his sword. He blocked the attack and looked at Kagome. She shook her head as if saying 'Not my problem.' Is she only going to help if I get captured again? Is this some kind of game to her? He growled and attacked the thief. Soon she yelled and ran off, dropping a key. He picked it up and used it on the locked cage. He released the man and he ran off. Three more to go. He sighed.
Three more brothers and three more fights later, he was staring at the leader of the Gerudo. She was impressed he fought all her guards and ran around the building unnoticed like a true thief. She was so amazed she thought him as one of her own crew and gave him a symbolic letter. Showing that he was one of them, now he could walk around the fortress without being mauled, and he had full access to Gerudo Deseret. Great, that's where he was headed, The Spirit Temple was hidden within the sands of the Gerudo Deseret. He was glad this whole run around wasn't for nothing.
He then preceded into the desert, with Kagome in tow. Why did she not help him? He looked back at her. She was daydreaming again and he sighed. Was it because she liked seeing him sweat sometimes? Or maybe, she knew he had to prove himself to the Gerudo, to show them that all men were not weak, and that he could be powerful, so he could enter the Desert? He looked at her once again, seeing her smile at a little bird flying above them. Nah. He shook his head. It couldn't be.
He stood there, staring at the huge structure in front of them. They finally made it through the Desert. It took some time, but they figured out both the passages. They followed the flags and trailed behind a ghost guide and were standing in front of the Temple.
It was not long before Kagome shook him out of his thoughts and pulled him inside the temple. The moment we entered, a sound entered our ears and we looked up. Two clay pottery was sailing towards us. A trap! Kagome was quicker then Link to act and she swiped the offending pots with her staff. They busted and fell into pieces on the floor.
"Something like this won't stop us. Right Link?" She looked over at him and smiled.
He smirked and nodded. Walking a head of her he looked around the room. It was rounded with a rug in the middle of it. There was a huge stone block to the right, and a small, child like hole to their left. Nothing else could be seen. Is it a dead end?
"It doesn't look like we can get in from here." Kagome commented.
She saw a doorway in front of the two hands outside. She could make it up there, but Link couldn't. Seeing they had no real choice in the matter, Kagome left and went outside. Leaving Link indoors, daydreaming.
Once she got outside, Sheik jumped down from the stone arch in front of the temple and looked down at her. What did he want?
"I'm sorry but your lover is inside the Temple, your going to have to wait till he comes back out." Kagome told him.
Sheik's cheeks intently took a rosy color and he stuttered for words. Kagome couldn't help but look at him and laugh at his awkward moment.
"What's so funny?" A voice behind her asked. Kagome turned around to see Link.
"And here he is now. I'll leave you two love birds alone to play your songs of passion together." She held her hand up to them. Turning around she waited at the temple's entrance for them to finish.
After a few minutes of awkward silence Sheik spoke to Link. Kagome wasn't really paying attention but she did hear something about turning into a child. So they have to go to the past again? Oh well, she didn't mind. She enjoyed her times with Kid Link, he was so cute. Hearing the music stop behind her she turned around. A cloud of dust blocked their view as Sheik disappeared into the Deseret. Why was he always so mysterious like that? She shrugged. Who knows. Kagome walked up to Link and put her arms around his waist. He blushed and looked down at her.
"What? no more of your strange fantasies you have to talk about?" She shook her head.
"No, so would you hurry up and play that flute and lets get back to the Temple already? Standing in this dry heat irritates my skin." She wined.
Link just chuckled and played the Prelude Of Light. We was then transported to the Temple and Kagome let go of Link. He frowned, but she pretended not to notice and walked to the stone slab. Link followed and without warning, stabbed the sword in the stone. They both were then sent back, seven years, into the past. Kagome blushed when she looked at Link. Why is he so adorable? She could only guess, as she squeezed the life out of him. He coughed and told her to loosen the grip and that he couldn't breathe. She soon apologized and loosened her hold on the wiggling child in her arms. He huffed, pulling out his ocarina he began to play the song he just learnt. Sandy colored light surrounded them and they was sent to the Temple once again.
Kagome found out that seven years have not changed the Temple much and they preceded to walk into the Stone Statue, housing the Spirit Temple. Once inside, Kagome defeated the floating jars once again. She sighed, it was more annoying then anything. Then both of their eyes glued to a new figure standing in front of the child like hole. She looked similar to all the Gerudo's Except she wore white. They walked up to her and she turned around.
"What are you doing here?" She asked.
"What are youdoing here?" Kagome repeated her question.
"What are YOU dong here?" She asked again.
"I asked you first." Kagome stated.
"You did not." The woman objected.
"Prove it." The woman went silent and Kagome snorted in accomplishment. She'd always win.
"Hey kid." She spoke.
"Don't talk to my-" Kagome paused. "son like that." Link blushed.
"Child, what are you doing here?" She ignored Kagome. "If your not busy why don't you crawl inside this hole and retrieved the treasure on the other side for me?" Kagome snorted.
"Don't go yelling orders at him."
"Well I have no choice! Ganondorf has done much evil and used the Gerudo Clan to do it. I thought if I went here and got the Sliver Gantlet's I could easily burst in, and mess up all his plans. But as you can see, the space is only big enough for a child, so why don't you go get those gloves for me?" Kagome was about to object but Link shook his head and the woman smirked. "Glad you see it my way Kid. And don't even think about stealing them for yourself, they can't fit a child like you." She then moved out of the way and Link crawled into the crevasse.
"I can use them." Kagome bluntly spoke her mind.
"Oh yeah? I'll fight you for them if I must."
"My son is risking his life to get some gloves and your going to hog them all for yourself?"
"Shut it, you pale bimbo!"
"Bimbo!? Look who's talking you large noised freak!"
"OH! You've done it now you flat chested bitch!"
This continued for several minutes till both parties were out of creative ideas for name calling and preceded to slap each other like little sissies. Now lets leave them and see how Link is doing.
"Holy Shit!"He screamed while dodging all the lasers being shot at him. Back with Kagome.
Both the females were collapsed onto the floor, breathing heavily. There arms and faces was beet red from the constant abuse from their attackers. It wasn't too long before they got back up and stumbled towards each other. Raising their hands up to strike the other, they missed and both fell back onto the floor. Laughter rang into the silent room. They sighed when their fits of giggles stopped. Looking at each other they nodded in truce and stood up.
"You know... Your not so bad, for a flat chested bimbo." She complimented.
"Neither are you, for a long noised freak." They shook hands happily.
"Names, Nabooru." She greeted.
"Kagome." They then started to chat about nonsense while Link was risking his very life at that exact moment.
Facing off against the Iron Knuckle was a tough challenge for Link. He dodged swing after swing and when he got his chance, made an attack of his own, before dodging a counter move. It took several minutes before he was finally able to bet him and the door ahead unlocked. Finally. He ran up the ramp, and onto the hand of the statue outside. This is where it was at? He was cursing inside of his mind. He could have just let Kagome jump up here and got it! Reaching down he opened the chest and pulled out the Sliver Gantlets.
Hearing a scream below him he looked down. The Gerudo woman was being attacked by a flying witch on a broom. Kagome was also being attack by another witch directly across from her. The red witch laughed and spun around the confused white caddied woman and she slowly started to sink into the sand.
"Kagome! Look out! They are using Black Magic on me and they will get you too! Run!" She screamed before being entombed into the sand.
The witches laughed in unison and Kagome roared and threw her Hiraikotsu. They easily dodged and ran away, back into the temple. Link then decided to yell to her and she looked up. He told her to catch him and he quickly jumped. She easily dash forward and caught him. He then asked what happened. She told him that her and Nabooru were talking when the witches came out of nowhere and started to attack them, pushing them outside and into the sand. Kagome sighed and placed Link on the ground.
"I'm sorry Kagome but we can't do anything to help the way we are right now. We have to go back in time. I need to use these gloves so I can get inside the Temple." Kagome grumbled but nodded. No point in just rushing in when Link was unable to protect himself.
It did not take long to warp to the Temple, then warp back. Link now fully grown, he was able to ware the Gantlets. He grunted as he started to push the heavy stone block. Impressed by his own strength Link did a heroic pose and flexed. Kagome slapped his chest playfully. He grinned and they continued onto the Spirit Temple, unknown what is awaiting them on the other side.
Like the other Temple, this one was no different. There was many puzzles and switches most of them had a connection to sun light, in one way or another. This seemed rather troublesome to the both of them, but they soon found themselves against a Iron Knuckle to bent their frustration on.
"Hey! Its that man who held me captive." Kagome shouted.
"What?"
"You know, when I got kidnapped in the Forest Temple. I was really weak but I remember this guy being in the room with me. When I tried to escape he held be down."
"You didn't see Ganondorf?" Link was slightly surprised.
"No, just him. Then I heard your voice. I was passed out before that."
Link was still a little stunned. He never even asked her what happened at that time. He just assumed Ganon got her and she-- How did she escape--? Now that he could think, he never once thought about it. He was so glad she was back, he didn't even try to question her.
"How did you escape?" Link asked.
"I don't know, a light appeared below me and I fell into a portal." She shrugged and he raised an eyebrow.
So may strange things has happened since he met the female, he wasn't surprised if she started to shoot pink lasers from her hands and used it to smite her enemies. He shrugged and they walked up to the Iron Knuckle. It grunted when Kagome poked him with her staff. It swung it's axe. Kagome and Link dodged. Kagome raised her hand and a Pink Beam of light shot out of her palm and the Knuckle turned into dust. Link's jaw dropped.
"What was that?!" He shouted at her.
"It was an experiment. I call it; Big, rainbow cloud, of hope and joy." She smirked and walked into the now opened door. How is Link, ever going to survive the rest of the Temple with her in tow? He sighed and followed.
Once they reached the top they was outside again, and onto the other statues hand. Link opened the chest and pulled out a very useful item, The Mirror Shield. It was at that time Kagome decided to speak her mind.
"What the Hell!? It was out here in the open this whole time! I could have jumped up here and got it."
"Well, why didn't you?"
"You didn't tell me it was up here!"
"How was I suppose to know!?"
"You was on the other side, not to long ago, you big dolt! You should look at your surrounding sometimes it would have saved us some trouble!" Link huffed.
Kagome snorted and crossed her arms over her chest angrily. They both preceded not to talk the rest of the way through the dungeon. Once Link chipped away the Medusa, stone face, they used the Longshot to enter into the new area, and opened the Boss door.
Once inside, they noticed the two witches and another Iron Knuckle standing before them. They started to talk to each other about, how we pass the dungeon, and had to, now, face their loyal minion. They then floated up and disappeared into a cloud of smoke. The Knuckle grunted and stood up. He raised his arms in the air before pausing and looking into his empty hands. Snapping his fingers a great axe appeared before him. He grabbed it and shook it in the air in victory before stomping towards them.
Link was about to charge the beast, when Kagome stood in front of him. She looked behind her and smirked, before raising her palm. Link grinned and waited for the monsters demise. The same pink light flew out of her hand and hit the creature. It roared as it armor started to peal off like skin. Kagome Stopped her assault when she saw a familiar face under the mask. She gasped as Nabooru fell onto the floor, on her hands and knees, thankful unharmed. Kagome sighed.
Just as they were going to help Nabooru, to her feet, the two witches appeared once more. They laughed and told them the female had much power, and that they will brainwash her again and have her work for Ganondorf a little longer. Kagome growled. The witches raised their hands in the air and shot a ball, like, attack at Nabooru. She screamed and tried to run away. Kagome grabbed her and pulled her into a tight hugged. A pink sphered appeared around them and Link was slightly taken back. A barrier? The blasts dissolved once the magic hit it's exterior. The withes screeched.
"Ah! I can't believe this girl is so powerful, she nullified our attack Koume!"
"Your right Kotake. She is quite strong. We should do all we can to capture her as well."
"Yes. Ganondorf will be quite pleased." They then raised their hands once more and Kagome hugged Nabooru closer to her.
This time, dark beams blasted at the pink sphere and it quickly was overwhelmed. It popped under the pressure. Kagome and Nabooru screamed as the magic overtook them and they disappeared. The witches laughed and vanished in another poof of smoke. Link roared into the air and ran after them, into the next chamber. Once Link was on top of the huge square platform in the room, he yelled at the twins to give Kagome back. They said they will not return her until he defeats them in battle. They laughed saying they will fry and freeze him with their magic before that will ever happen.
And so, Link fought the twins using only his Mirror Shield and Master Sword. He vanquished the twins and then destroyed their second form. Once they were defeated they started to bicker at each other. They were arguing about how the other one was a liar and they were twins and no way one was younger then the other. They continued this fight until they screamed. They said they will be back to haunt him. Then they floated towards the sky and into the white light.
Link smirked at their childish antics and he too, went into his own familiar blue light. Only he came to rest inside the Chamber of Sages. Standing beside him, in the middle platform was Kagome. She smiled and waved at him in greeting. He laughed and lifted her up into the air joyously, spinning her around.
She had him so worried. He was afraid he was to late and she was, again, in Ganon's hands. He hugged her tiny frame to his chest and sighed. He was surprised how he missed her, even in such a short time. She just laughed and told him to put her down. He frowned, but did as he was told, placing her feet back onto the platform. It was at that time Nabooru rose from the orange platform and greeted them.
"Hey kid, It seems you grew up into a fine swordsman. I, too, have grown and I am now the Spirit Sage." She smirked and looked at Kagome. "Are you jealous? You flat chested Bimbo!?"
"Who would be jealous of you?! You long noised freak!" Kagome raised her fist in a challenge and Nabooru accepted, raising her own fist. Heated glares were past between them before they both huffed and crossed their arms. Link just chuckled.
"Here, take this Medallion and get out of here. I don't want to see your ugly mug anymore then I have too-- Ka-go-me!" Nabooru threw the Medallion at Link lazily and he caught it.
"Who wants to listen to your horrible chatter anyway-- Na-boo-ru!" They both growled at each other.
Suddenly they both started to laugh. Link was so confused right now, he didn't know what was going on. They both finally stopped laughing and they waved goodbye to one another. Then light surrounded them and She spoke her last words to them.
"If I would have known he would turn into such a handsome man..." She sounded regretful. "Maybe next time we meet I'll steal him from you?" Her laugher bellowed into their ears before they landed safely unto the floor.
