I'm sorry it took me so long! ;A; I have so many different events and adventures for them in my head that I was struggling with a way to tie them together. Like I mentioned before, I already had the first four done for quite some time, but I do not plan to take this long in the future! I'm gonna have to change this story rating to M _; This chapter isn't too bad but later on it will become more.. yaoi-ish. I'm also thinking about starting a second fanfic. It will be a T rated story focusing on Shadow Link, Vaati, and the Four Sword hero's. Hopefully I'm not biting off more than I can chew ^^; Anyways, thanks soooo much for the reviews guys! Without them, I don't think I would have written anymore to the story. Well, I hope you enjoy!


The Legend of Dark

Chapter 5
Mysteries

I hate water. It seems to rather enjoy me, though, as it had drawn my body to roll off the island while I was sleeping. Was. I sputter and gasp as the cold bites my skin after I had almost completely dried off. Water is forced down my throat and I choke violently. My hand reaches for the ledge, but to no avail. Just when I think I'm seriously about to drown, a hand catches mine and pulls me back up.

"A little early for a swim, don't you think?" He smirks, and I just stare at him in disbelief for a moment. Then finally, my voice reaches me.

"For the love of Nayru- I ALMOST DIED YOU BASTARD!"

"So dramatic." I then respond my throwing him into the water. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to mind this, doing laps in a small circle in front of me.

"Shut up. I've decided I never want to see water again once we leave. Ever."

"Until you get thirsty and all that is around is a small pound."

"It won't matter."

"Dark," he sighs, "I'm not going to buy milk just for you, I hope you know."

Milk? What the Din is that? "Link," I mimic his sigh and his voice. "It doesn't matter because I don't need either of those things."

He looks confused, and to be honest I'm a little surprised he hasn't considered the very thoughts on my mind yet. "You plan on starv-"

"Link, you idiot." He looks even more confused. Wow, he really hasn't considered that. This makes me laugh.

"What is so funny?" Then, as it finally hits him, his eyes go wide. "Are you tell me that you don't need it?"

"Ya know, when I said I had tea parties with Ganon, I wasn't being serious." He looks a mixture of annoyed and surprised. I would know because of how much attention I am giving to those eyes of his. I said it before and I'll say it again. His eyes are beautiful.

"So you've never tried food.. or anything before.." There's that damn pity again. I still hate it. What's the big deal?

"Well I have more than enough of water for one life time."

Much to my displeasure, some how that damn Hero had convinced me to get back into the water. I'm not sure how much time we spent there, but I can now say I've gotten down the basics of moving above and below the water's surface. Don't mistake me for being proud of that fact. I'm thoroughly pissed off.

"Must you be so grouchy?"

"Let's get this over with."

With a shrug, Link lowers himself into a small area of water. "We're right at the entrance. Once out, you just need to swim to the surface." I nod and climb in after him. Damnit all, I'm shaking again.

"One.. two.. three.." We both take a breath in and swim down through the tunnel. My eyes haven't even reached the surface yet and I am amazed by the outside world. This lake is huge! I look up and kick my legs to move my body, and that's when I feel a tug on my arms. My head turns, and to my horror I see my sleeve caught on the open gate that barely sticks out from the entrance. CURSE THE GODDESSES, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Don't panic. Panic means dying. I am not gonna die without killing the hero first. This is his fault. I give my tunic a jerk, but it doesn't even tear. Then I have an idea..

"GAH!" I surface and gasp for air, then choke violently in attempt to rid the water from my lungs.

"Dark?!" He quickly swims over to me and supports my shoulders, but just as I begin to relax, he lets me go and leaves me to spit out yet another mouth full of water. "Why are you naked?!"

I glare at him. "Look under the water."

And then he turns bright red and glares back. "What?!"

Great, now I'm red. "That's not what I meant!"

"You're sick." With that, he turns and swims away, ignoring my calls as I follow. We make it to the shore and I've just about have enough.

"Look at me, damnit!"

He turns harshly and I see his face is even more red than before. It's not hard to tell he's struggling to keep his eyes on mine, either. This makes me grin. "What are you smiling about?" I walk closer and he backs away. My steps speed up and his eyes narrow. "Don't touch me!"

I pause, shocked by his out burst, then continue forward with an even wider grin.

"Dark! I mean it!"

Then I leap forward, tackling him to the ground. He tries to push my off but I only cling that much tighter. He manages to get his left hand against my chest, the other on the side of my face while pushing up. Just when I'm about ready to give up, his left hand slips and my weight goes back against him, forcefully moving his other arm aside. A puff of air escapes him as my chest hits his, but I can only laugh. I move up, preparing to stand, and that's when I hear it. Link quickly covers his mouth, his face returning to the dark red that had begun to fade before. He looks at me with fear in his eyes, because now he knows what's coming. My hips grind against his again, earning another faint noise from the boy under me. The third time, his hands move to my shoulders, weakly pushing at me as he gasps. I take this opportunity and force my lips on his. I can tell he's curious; he doesn't dare move his head away. At the same time, though, he seems too shy to kiss me bac-

My eyes widen as his tongue now explores my mouth. Gee, didn't think he had it in him. Apparently he didn't, either, because he quickly snaps out of whatever lust spell he was under and shoves me away. For a while, we say nothing. I'm right in the middle of a mental debate on whether I should try to remove his tunic when he finally breaks my thoughts. "Put your clothes on.."

I grin and stand, holding out my hand for him to take only to have him stubbornly refuse. "Still under the water." I watch as he puts the pieces together inside his head, noting the look of realization and embarrassment. Unsurprisingly, he changes the playing field so I am the bad guy.

"W-why did you do that?"

I just stare at him for a moment. "You're the one who moaned."

He can't even stand it and covers his red face in shame. "It was not one of enjoyment!"

I can't help but laugh now. "Says the one who was more than willing to kiss back. Don't look so upset, Hero. You're a good kisser." He glances up at me just as I lick my lips, and I can see the hidden need in his pretty eyes. I can feel his desires. The urges he would never admit to. Yet, that is. I am not above making him beg for these things, and I plan to do so.

In the end, we both ended up naked. Nothing fishy went on, unfortunately. Link ended up demanding that I sit on the other side of the little fire we built. After he retrieved my clothes for me, we set ours aside to dry while we stay warm. I was fine just as I was. The Water Temple was much colder than I was now, so it didn't faze me. The shivering hero five feet across from me, however, clearly was not use to the feeling. I got up only to have him shoot me a glare, so I sat back down again with a roll of my red eyes. Why is he so mad at me? Maybe I should try to direct his mind else where. "So." That's about all I got. This time he doesn't even glance my way. He just sits there hugging his knees to his chest and chattering his teeth. I try to think of something, anything, that I could ask him, and when I finally do, I realize too late that I should have kept my mouth shut.

"Tell me about you."

He looks at me, half annoyed and half confused.

"Your life. Tell me about you."

"No."

Now I'm confused. "Why not?"

"It is n-not a story worth sharing." He shivers.

"I doubt that. You're suppose to save this land, right? It's got to be nice with all those people look up to you." I hide the jealousy in my voice.

"What people?" He replies harshly. "Most of which are either d-dead, or simply don't understand what is going on. I d-don't have the time sit down and say "Oh, by the way, Hyrule t-town is dead and the reason behind these m-monsters is because there is someone is trying to take over the w-world. But don't worry, I am here to save you all." Yeah. It's j-just wonderful, Dark."

"Oh.."

He doesn't say anything.

"I'm sorry.."

He still says nothing, and I swear the teeth chattering is only getting louder. I get up and he still says nothing, so I use this opportunity to sit next to him. When he does nothing more than look away, I wrap my arms around him to offer some warmth. He still says nothing, and I start humming. I'm not sure what I am humming, but somehow the tune just comes to me. I close my eyes hum the tune a few more times before adding words. "Shadows, here my call and rise.." I can feel Link turn his head to me, but I don't stop. "Follow thou with crimson eyes.." Like the tune, the lyrics seem to just come to me like some long-lost lullaby I already knew. "Heed my every order, bring forth darkness to the skies.." The words seem to linger in the air, and suddenly I am very aware of the sounds around me. The strange calls of the flying creatures around us, a distant laughter of hatred in ghostly form, and the crackle of the near fire that hardly warms the new chills down my spine. I hear whispers, too; words I can't make out, yet some how I know are calling for me.

"Dark?"

I shiver in his place. He isn't shaking anymore, so I assume I've warmed him.

"Dark, what was that?" I finally open my eyes and look at him, shocked to find him looking so terrified. I instantly let him go.

"I don't know.." He looks at me, expecting more. More that I cannot offer. The song is mine. I don't know how, but it is. It has dark power behind it that I'm not sure I want to mess with. Thou with crimson eyes. Why would I wish to bring darkness? This just makes me seem more evil. I mean, I'm no goody-two-shoes, but didn't Link prove I am not evil? By the looks of it, we are both beginning to doubt the Master Sword's decision.

"Dark.."

He looks concerned, and I can mirror that expression perfectly.

What am I?


I tried to make the scene into something serious, like suddenly the world was set into slow motion as Dark sang a song he knew, yet didn't know. Opinions? Suggestions? Share away! The lyrics where my idea, but the song is not mine. If you haven't figured out which tune he was humming to, then don't worry because the truth will be revealed. I will not abandon this story! ^^ Thanks again!
