Read and review! Anime Wildfire

Inside Hyrule castle, Princess Zelda was uneasy. She paced her son's old bedroom as she waited for Link to show up.

"Zelda? What's all this about?" asked Link, suddenly appearing in the doorway.

Zelda rushed over. "Link, I think it's time we told our son who he really is. That we're his parents." Zelda said

"Zelda, how do we know he won't panic or something, he's been 'missing' for almost fifteen years. He can't just pop up out of nowhere." Said Link

"I suppose you're right, it's just that, seeing him so grown up at the festival with Kakari…"

"You miss him, don't you?" Link muttered,

"Yes, I do," Zelda replied, "I haven't hugged him or even touched him in fifteen years. He is my only son." she said.

"In that case, I think it's time our son returned to his true home and destiny. Hyrule castle." Link said, he smiled at Zelda; Zelda smiled back and hugged Link.

"When should we get him?" she asked.

"What's wrong with right now?" teased Link; Zelda smacked him playfully on the shoulder before quickly exiting the room.

"Link! Get yourself over here!" Zelda hissed, it was an hour later, and Link and Zelda had decided to sneak over to see Lee.

"Uh Zelda? Where exactly does Lee live?" asked Link as he slipped over to join her.

" I looked it up, it's that one." Zelda said; pointing to the house that Lee and Kari lived in.

Zelda and Link silently crept over to the house and pushed the door open.

"Hello?" Zelda said, she and Link slipped inside and looked around,

"Look at all these pictures." Link said; Zelda smiled at the picture of Lee and Kari.

"I'll say one thing, I think we have defiantly found a future bride for Lee." Zelda said; Link nodded in agreement.

"Hey Link, who's that?" asked Zelda, she crept closer to the couch that Lee was sleeping on.

"It's Lee." Link said, coming closer, he and Zelda crept up next to the couch.

"What happened to him?" wondered Zelda; she noticed the bandage over his chest.

Link leaned in closer to look at it.

"It looks like he got into a fight or something." Link muttered, Zelda however, had found Lee's sword very interesting.

"Hey Link! Look at this!" she hissed, she pointed to the Hero's sword.

"Isn't that the sword you sealed away a few years ago?" Link examined it closely.

"Yeah, this is, Lee must have gotten hurt getting this sword." He muttered, stepping back. (Wrong!)

"He has a famous sword, just like his father." Zelda muttered proudly. She smiled and sat on a chair next to Lee.

Link glanced at Zelda, then Lee, then back at Zelda, Zelda's face was soft, she leaned over and carefully ran her finger down his cheek.

"I haven't done this since he was born." She muttered softly, Link smiled and put a hand on her shoulder.

"He was so cute when he was little. And he's so handsome now." Zelda muttered, smiling.

Zelda and Link suddenly heard voices.

"-No Iza, Lee's asleep right now, I don't want you to wake him up, he needs to rest."

"- But I need to see him, to make sure he's ok, he usually comes to pick you up, and since he didn't come today, he must be really hurt."

"-Shut up Iza, go away, I'll take care of him."

Link and Zelda quickly ducked behind the wall, making sure they could still see what happened,

The door opened, and Kari came in.

"That's Kakari? Saphira's daughter?" Link muttered, surprised.

"Yes, that's her, she's beautiful, isn't she?" Zelda whispered back.

Kari walked over to Lee and felt his forehead, comparing it to her own.

"Well you don't have a temperature." She muttered, she sat down next to him and inspected his wound.

"Kari?" Lee muttered, "Yeah, it's me, are you ok?" asked Kari, Lee's eyes opened, "were you the one touching my cheek?" Lee asked, making Zelda gasp.

"He was partially awake." Zelda muttered.

"No it wasn't me, I just got back." Kari replied,

"Kari, my wound was bleeding really bad earlier, will you help me sit up so I can change the bandage?" Lee asked,

"Sure, but I'll put a new one on for you, you can't reach behind you to wrap it around anyway." Kari said, she took his arm and helped pull him into a sitting position.

"Are you ok?" Kari asked; Lee had grimaced from sitting up.

"I'm fine." He said, Kari pushed him around and undid the bandage, then she took a new one and slowly wrapped it.

"Kari?"

"Yeah?"

"Was there anyone here when you got back?" Lee asked,

"No why?" asked Kari.

"Caus' while you were gone, I remember someone touching my cheek, it felt really familiar, like I'd felt it before. But I don't remember anyone ever doing that." Lee said softly,

"Maybe you were remembering it from when you were a baby, remember, the Duku sprout said we were brought there when we were a few months old, so maybe when you were a baby, your mother stroked your cheek, and you were just remembering her." Kari replied softly,

"Yeah, maybe your right." Lee said. Kari looked up,

"You know, sometimes I dream about my mother too, it's hard isn't it? Knowing we had parents and never being able to personally know them.

Sometimes I wonder; why did they leave us? Did they want us?

Why did they let us go our whole lives without knowing who they are?"

Kari was crying now, softly at first, then a little harder.

Why didn't my mother want me? She muttered suddenly, Lee looked at her, a little shocked.

"I've always wanted a mother, all the woman around here hate me, I don't even know why, they just give me cold stares, and there's not one woman around here that loves me or cares about me." Kari sobbed, Lee watched her.

Why is she suddenly pouring her heart out? He wondered,

Mae? Do you know something about this? He thought,

Yes, I do, Kari hopes you will understand her, she's been feeling lonely for a female friend, you see Lee, all the woman and girls hate her because she takes away any of their chances of marrying you.

So Kari has never known the love of her mother or the love and friendship of another woman.

I hope you can understand this. It's so important to Kari. Mae said,

She has never known the love and friendship of another woman. Mae's thoughts echoed in Lee's mind.

"That's not true Kari, Malon likes you. She only lives a little farther away. Maybe we can go visit her soon." Lee reassured, Kari stopped crying and smiled, Lee smiled back and Kari suddenly hugged Lee.

"Thank you Lee." she said, still hugging him.

Still behind the wall, Zelda and Lee watched,

My son remembers me. Zelda thought happily as she watched Kari hug Lee,

"It's hard to believe that he remembered you doing that." Link muttered, still watching Lee and Kari

"Yeah." Zelda replied.

Oh and by the way, there are intruders in your house right now. Mae thought to Lee,

Lee's head shot up.

"Kari, Mae just told me there is someone in here somewhere." Lee whispered.

Kari stopped hugging Lee.

"Where are they?" she whispered.

"How should I know?" Lee whispered back. Kari stood up and grabbed the Hero's sword.

"Alright, whoever's in this house had better come out now, or else!" Kari shouted, looking around.

Zelda pulled the hood of her cloak up and stepped out.

"I'm sorry, we didn't mean to intrude." Link stepped out behind her.

"We only came here to see something." He said; Kari narrowed her eyes.

"Yeah? Well what is it you came to see?" Kari said suspiciously.

"N-nothing, nothing of importance, we had just heard that our son was nearby-" Link stopped, Zelda shook her head,

"Wait, are you Lee's parents?" Kari asked, she glanced back at Lee; he too, looked surprised.

Zelda turned to Link, "we may as well tell them the truth, we just won't show them our faces." She whispered, Link nodded and Zelda turned back to Lee and Kari.

"You are right Kakari, we are Lee's parents, however we only came here to see him, nothing more, we will be back soon though." Zelda said; she turned away. Link reached out and grabbed her hood,

"Wait Zelda, we have to tell him more-" He broke off as he accidentally pulled Zelda's hood down, Lee's eyes widened in shock, Kari gasped and clapped a hand over her mouth.

Zelda and link stood there, not moving until Kari said,

"So, Prince Link and Princess Zelda are your parents?" Lee didn't say anything; he was still shocked.

Zelda tried to walk forward, but Link stropped her.

"Zelda! Wait, we have to explain some things to Lee, we can't just leave and not explain anything!" He said, glancing back at Lee.

Kari was still in shock too. "So Lee is a prince?" she said, Zelda nodded,

"Yes, Lee is the prince and our only child, he is the heir of the Hyrulian throne."

Kari let out a weak chuckle before she fainted.

"Kari!" Lee cried, he dropped to his knees next to her; she slowly opened her eyes.

"What happened?" she asked sitting up.

"You fainted, are you ok?" Lee asked, helping her to her feet. Zelda was watching Lee; she narrowed her eyes and smiled at the look on Lee's face.

Lee and Kari leaned against each other, helping each other stand, Lee turned to Zelda.

"So why did you leave me in Kokiri forest? Didn't you want me?" He asked; Zelda bit her lip at the pain in his blue eyes.

"I'm sorry we did leave you in Kokiri forest, but we feared for your safety, Kakari's mother also wanted her to go to the forest for her safety."

Kari's eye's widened and her head shot up.

"You know my mother?" she asked, a look of longing on her face.

"Yes Kakari, she is my best friend, besides Impa, she also works at the castle." Zelda said,

"Castle! As in Hyrule castle!" Kari said, her mouth hanging open, Zelda nodded, Lee closed Kari's mouth and rolled his eyes.

"So you really didn't want to leave me in the forest." Lee said, Zelda nodded,

"No, we really didn't." Zelda said; Lee narrowed his eyes at Link and Zelda.

After a minute he said.

"Kari, don't trust them." He let go of Kari's shoulder and back away from them, Link, Zelda and Kari looked at him in surprise.

"They can't be my parents, my real parents would never leave me at the Duku tree to be raised as a Kokirian! No real parent would ever do that! Lee shouted, Kari gave Link and Zelda frightened look before standing behind Lee.

Lee was glaring at Link and Zelda, a look of hatred on his face.

"Com' on Kari, lets go." Lee said; he and Kari backed slowly away from Link and Zelda.

"Wait stop!" Zelda cried; she reached out toward Lee, Lee and Kari both ignored her and took off.

"Lee! Kakari! Stop!" Link shouted, he and Zelda raced after them, they got outside just in time to see Lee and Kari mount Comet, Lee and Kari stopped for a second right in front of Link and Zelda, Lee gave them a look of hatred before they took off.

Mae also glared at Link and Zelda before taking off after them.

"We have to catch them!" Zelda exclaimed, she and Link both looked around, but there were no horses anywhere.

"I think we lost them." Link said, looking around.

"Where would you go if you were Lee?" Zelda asked Link, a smug look on her face.

"Me? I would go to Lake Hylia. Where would you go?"

"I don't know; that's why I asked you, besides he's your son." She said with a smug look on her face.

Zelda and Link stared off in the direction that Lee and Kari had,

I'm sorry Lee. Zelda thought, and with a swish of her cloak, she and Link headed off to Hyrule castle.
