Hey everyone!
This chapter's gonna be a little shorter, sorry about that, but it's short for a good reason, I promise!
The story is almost over! We' ve caught up to everything I've typed, so I was thinking, maybe Lee and Kari should go one one last adventure before the story's over, hmmm...
See ya guys! I gotta go ponder my thoughts for this story, don't forget to read and review!
That night…
A cloaked figure left Hyrule castle and slowly made its way into Hyrule market, people tried to distract him by showing him merchandise, but this person had a mission, carefully he entered the jewelry store at the edge of town.
"I need to buy something," the figure said, making sure his face was kept hidden.
The man behind the counter smiled,
"What are you looking for?" he said, waving his hand at all the jewelry in the store.
"A ring, a ring for a very special friend of mine." the figure said, the man smiled.
"A ring huh? As in… a engagement ring?" the man asked, pointing to several diamond rings behind the glass.
The figure grinned,
"Possible, it's more like a friendship ring though, do ya have any? I'm looking for one with emeralds on it." the figure said, he held out his hand.
The counter man glanced into the figure's hand, where several gold rupees lay. (Worth 200 bucks each.)
The man's eyes widened. Why, that many gold rupees would be enough to buy several diamond rings! He led the figure to a counter near the front of the store, where several emerald and diamond rings were.
The figure carefully examined the rings; finally he picked one that had a heart shaped emerald surrounded by three diamonds on both sides.
He carried it to the counter, and paid six gold rupees for it. As he left the store, a flash of blond hair and a pair of deep blue eyes were visible beneath the cloak. The figure grinned and left the store, clutching the small box containing the ring.
The next day…
"Where were you last night Lee?" Kari asked at breakfast, noticing how tired Lee was,
"Oh, I was um… out for a walk." Lee said, yawning.
Kari's eyes narrowed, he was defiantly hiding something from her.
Lee stood up and headed for his room.
"I'm gonna go sleep for a while, I'm really tired." he said, disappearing down the hallway.
Kari waited until the sound of his boots faded in the distance before she jumped up and headed down the hallway to Lee's room.
Pressing her ear to the door, she heard him fall back in the bed and fall asleep.
She waited a few minutes before quietly opening the door and slipping inside.
Lee was sprawled out on his bed, fast asleep. Luckily for Kari he was a heavy sleeper when he was really tired.
Kari carefully glanced around the room. Determined to find out where he had disappeared to last night.
He had put a cloak on and left without a word, returning and hour later. After he had gotten back he shut himself up in his room, Kari had heard him talking to himself about something he had done while he had gone out, she had even heard him say her name.
It had puzzled her, and made her suspicious, what was he hiding from her?
Kari shook her head to clear her thoughts, and then she turned back to her mission.
Glancing around, she noticed a small box in his dresser. Curious, she walked over to his dresser and picked it up.
She was about to open it when she heard a noise, quickly she wheeled around and saw Lee stirring, she put the box back on the dresser and raced over to the window, jumping out onto the ledge outside Lee's window, hoping he didn't go onto the balcony.
Lee meanwhile, stirred again and opened his eyes, He sat up and glanced around.
That's weird, it feels like someone's in here, he thought, he stood up and glanced over at the small box on his dresser. He walked over to his dresser and picked the box up. Smiling softly to himself as he thought about who it was for.
Quickly he stuffed the box into his tunic and flopped back down on the bed, still tired dispite his little nap.
Kari glanced back inside the room, Lee had fallen back asleep, Kari glanced back at the dresser.
The box is gone. She thought to herself, her eyes narrowing,
I will find out what he's hiding from me! Kari thought, narrowing her eyes at Lee's sleeping form before sneaking back to her old room.
Kari left her room and headed down the hallway, completely lost in her thoughts until she bumped into Zelda.
"whoops! Sorry Kari!" Zelda said, giving Kari a quick hug, Kari blinked.
"N-no, it's my fault, I wasn't watching where I was going, I was busy thinking." She said, gancing at her feet. Zelda glanced at her curiously,
"what are you thinking about?" She asked, Kari sighed, her shoulders slumped.
"Lee's hiding something from me, I just know it. He's been acting kind of suspicious." Kari said,
Zelda nodded, "I see what you mean, I've noticed he's been kind of distant too. Maybe he's just nervous, his birthday is next week. And then your birthday is two weeks after that, and then the play is another week after that. Oh, that reminds, me, Sheik says you have a rehersal tomorrow."
"thanks." Kari muttered, glancing at her feet before heading down the hallway towards the library.
Zelda watched her go, unhappy to see Kari so miserable.
"you'd better have a good excuse for making her worry so much Lee." She muttered to herself before heading down the hallway leading to the throne room.
(in case you're wondering, Lee and Kari have been going to play practice for a while, I just didn't write it down, figured I'd be to boring.)
Sooo? Suspicious or what? you all obviously know who was under the cloak, but still, it's fun to at least try to keep you smart people guessing. Next chapter coming as soon as I finish typing it, which will be very soon!
See ya! Anime Wildfire
