Note: Took a bit, but here it is!! R & R!!


"OKIRU!!" Meeko screamed as a blast of purple fires collided against the earth.

The flames scattered through the air, crossing over the entire floor of the clearing. But there was no heat. The Yellow Maiden looked to where Okiru and the fairy had stood…nothing. No scorch mark, no discoloration of the grass…and no shaman. The sight filled Meeko with horror, more horror than if she had seen the boy's lifeless body. The whole party whole party gazed in bewilderment at the spot as the fairy queen proclaimed to them……

"This forest is my forestand these fairies are my fairies. The boy was foolish to meddle in a matter that he was not a part of-"

"SHUT UP!! YOU STUPID BITCH!!" The raven haired maiden bellowed and dashed to the Meeko's side. The blonde girl continued to watch the spot where Okiru disappeared as Rin went on, "I don't care if you have some right to punish people or not. What you don't have right to is brush off a person's life like it never mattered!!" The queen, Titania, looked down on the maidens…taking them both in…before speaking……

"Are you the notary and protector of all living things, little girl……I have guarded ALL the life in these woodlands since before your race was even a thought. Your days are short and you have little influence on the worldand you expect me to care?"

"You've done it now, you firefly want-to-be!" Rin exclaimed as she placed her fingers together in a triangle, "Woe to the foolish who forsakes the Mothers! May the sword fall-" The maiden stopped abruptly when a hand grabbed her sleeve. "Meeko…?"

"Is that really how you feel…" The maiden asked in small, but confident voice as she stood up, "Even if you are older than us…and have more power than us…do you really feel nothing?"

"Morals are meant to die. You even assist each other in the matter, so there is little to your value by your own standards. So yesI feel nothing for what would be nothing."

"And Alberich……"

Titania eyes narrowed at the girl as Meeko faced the queen with an air of defiance. The maiden's tearstain cheeks and redden eyes betrayed her expression, however. The fairy queen chuckled…and with a wave of her hand a horde of Anti-Fairies floated into the clearing.

"Great job, Meeko…" Rin whispered to her friend, "…now she even more pissed…"

"If I known she'd do this, then I'd had let you attack her…" Meeko raised her hands and fingers up into the sacred triangle and let the magical energies flow between them, "Din's Howl!!"

A funnel of light raced out of the girl's hands, striking two of the Anti-Fairies, tearing away the skulls and revealing the fairies true forms. The raven haired maiden joined into the fray, shouting out 'Nayru's Virtue!!' as she projected her hands out. An orb of white light formed for one second…then burst into a thousand lines of light and flung out at the creatures. The attack hit several Anti-Fairies, bringing down a few and damaging the others. Naru had jumped in and had also contributed with numerous green fire balls of her 'Blaze of Farore', burning its number of enemies in an emerald inferno.

Ryuga had been quite useless during the fight as the Anti-Fairies would swerve away before any of his punches could hit. Suddenly the Goron noticed an Anti-Fairy barreling towards the green haired maiden's back. With all the strength the mountain dweller could muster, Ryuga rushed over to Naru and knocked the girl and him to the ground. The creature race over them……

"Whoa, that was close!" The Goron stated as he lifted himself off Naru, "Sorry that I pushed you on ta the ground. I cou-" Before Ryuga could finish a blast of green fire washed over him…its source……

"D-Don't scary me like t-t-that!!" The green haired maiden said in a frighten voice as she shook from head to toe, "Don't y-you know how t-t-t-terrifying you are?!"

"I'm…terrifying…?" Ryuga posed as his blacken chard body continued to smolder.

Meanwhile, back with Rin and Meeko, the girls were starting to get into the thick of it. The Anti-Fairy swarm seemed endless. With every creature they defeated another took its place…as more and more Anti-Fairies filled the clearing.

"Din's Howl!!" The Yellow Maiden roared as another light funnel screamed forth from her hands. Meeko's breathing had had doubled and sweat poured down her forehead, "Rin…Huff…I don't know…Huff, huff…I don't know how much I have left……"

"Well…Huff, huff…" The raven haired girl replied, "Don't stop now…Huff……"

The two maidens were back to back as creatures soar around them. The next few minutes might be our last, the two both thought as the swarm circle closer and closer around the pair. Turning to her left, Meeko gasped as she saw an Anti-Fairy rocketing towards her, a yard from hitting the maiden. The girl froze to the spot as the creature continued to race-

WHACK!!

A whirling orange object sliced through the Anti-Fairy a foot away from assaulting Meeko. The maiden followed the spinning item as it arched around and flew back to the tree-line…where the girl found Link!

"Sorry, but I have to crash this party!" The hero proclaimed as the old shaman and he entered the clearing, "I hope he did mind that I cut in-"

"WOULD YOU GIVE IT A REST!!" Meeko bellowed, causing Link to recoil back, "WITH HOW LATE YOU ARE I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE CRAPY PUNS!!"

"Sorry that I didn't know where this place was…" Link murmured to himself, "Or that you where here and in trouble……"

"Titania" The elderly man related to the fairy queen, "Your emotions have cost the village dearly in the past ten years. If you do not end this lamenting now then you will truly fall to the dusk of evil!"

"You……It had to be you…" The queen spoke, but her focus was not any member of the group. The blazing purple flames of Titania roared even greater than it had been, reaching to the edges of the clearing, "I am FINISH with dealing with simple morals!! Go off and DIE!!"

Titania shot her arms up into the air where a violet fireball began to form. Twisting and forming larger with every second until it engulfed the entire area and everyone in it……

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

"Come on! Please, wake up!!" A tiny voice called out.

The young shaman slowly shifted his eyelids open. The first sight he that met him was of the little fairy girl, her pink aura stung at his gaze. The fairy gave Okiru a small push against his cheek with both her arms, hoping to assist the boy's awakening. It didn't really help much, though, being that the size of her body made the attempt barely noticeable.

"Please don't pass out again!!" The girl frantically exclaimed. Okiru gradually lifted himself from the ground and into a setting position. Craning his head round, the young shaman found the fairy and he in the forest…the clearing, Titania, and everyone else were nowhere to be seen. Okiru turned back to the tiny girl, now floating in front of him……

"Wh-What happen?!" The boy asked with wide eyes and tensed face, "Where's the fairy queen?! And Meeko-chan?! And all the others?!"

"About that…" The fairy related, hovering a foot backward and turning away from the shaman, "…Titania-sama…she would never kill someone…even in the state she's in now. She just warped us away from the area."

"But…but she said that she was going to punish you because she thought you helped us!"

"Well I'm not sure about the punishing part, but Titania-sama always warps away the person that gets her angry! She's really a nice queen!" The fairy zoomed over to Okiru, stopping a hair before hitting into the boy's face, "By the way, my name is Robin O'Willow Goodfellow! But everyone calls my Puck!"

"Puck…?" The young shaman blinked at the tiny girl, still a little confused, "Ok…I'm Okiru. And someday I'll be the greatest shaman in the universe!!"

"Oh! I don't deny that!" Puck exclaimed back at the boy as her face became a little redder (…somehow), "You were so brave!! Trying to protect me against Titania-sama's magic with no regard to yourself!! You're the most valiant hero ever!!"

A grin shone across Okiru's face, from ear to ear. The young shaman ate flattery up, he starved for it, and this little fairy just gave him a table full. Puck was still drifting an inch from the boy's face with a look of care and yearning that Okiru had never seen on a person before (at least not someone looking at him!). The shaman pushed his legs and slid across the ground, away from the fairy. However, she flew in pursuit of the boy…very close pursuit……

"I never thought that I'd ever meet a boy like you!" Puck related as she continued to follow Okiru as he tried to get away, "Have you ever feel like you've known somebody all your life, even though you just met!! Huh, Oki-kun?"

"Oki…kun?!" I don't like the sound of that, the young shaman silently thought, way too casual!! Okiru retreat was suddenly halted when his back hit a tree, "H-Hey Puck!! You know that I would have done what I did for anyone! R-right?"

Puck had then slammed her body against the boy's cheek. Wrapping her tiny arms around the cheek (as best she could), the fairy girl hugged the cheek tightly and enveloped her face into it. The whole experience freaked Okiru out. It was like a person had grabbed hold of his face with an oddly shaped hand and was stroking his cheek with one of their finger (…Ok! Now I'm a little crept out!).

"Oki-kun, you're the most courageous, kind, and caring person ever!!" The little fairy squealed.

"STOP IT, ALREADY!!" Okiru bellowed. Puck recoiled back a foot, surprised by the abrupt scream, "YOU DON'T HAVE TO MAKE SUCH A BIG DEAL FROM SOMETHING THAT STUPID!! Sigh…You're seriously starting to weird me out!"

"…O…Oki-kuuunn…" Puck held her arms against each other in front of herself as her lower lip quivered and her eyes welled up, "Oki-kun…YOU HATE ME!! YOU THINK I'M UGLY!! YOU'RE THE WOREST GUY EVER!!" The fairy girl quickly shifted into a fit of sobbing and cries.

"W-Wait, wait!! Don't cry!!" The young shaman franticly said, "I like you and you're not ugly!! Really!! Please stop crying!!"

"Do you mean that, Oki-kun…?" Puck looked up at the boy as she rubbed the tears from her eyes. In a flash, the fairy was reattached to Okiru's cheek, "Oh!! You really do like me!! You're the nicest guy ever!!"

Okiru's head hung down as he sighed heavily……

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

"I can't believe that I got stuck with you!!"

Rin and the old man were tracking through the forest. After Titania attacked the party with her purple flames, the two had found themselves deep in the forest, the clearing no longer viewable, and everyone else was gone (sounds familiar) much to Rin's disappointment……

"If that stupid queen bitch was going to spirit us away in pairs, why didn't I get matched with Linkie-hun!!" The raven haired maiden whined as she walked a few feet ahead of the man.

"The art of teleportation is taxing" The elderly shaman stated sagely as he took the rear, "Even for the queen fairy, Titania, power required to safely shift us separately through time and space would be too much for her. She paired us out of necessity…not romance!!"

Rin pouted her cheeks, crossed her arms, and continued on through the woods. The shaman maintained an even pace following the girl. Even though I said it was not for romance, the old man thought as his gaze fell down to the girl's firm behind, I truly must thank the higher powers for such a lovely pairing!!

As the two pressed on, they came upon a large field that cut into the forest from the west. The great mountainous ranges that barred direct entry from the western countries could be seen in on the horizon. The field, itself, was filled with tall grasses and strange, deep red flowers. Rin bent down for a better look at the flora……

"No wait!!" The old man screamed and tore the girl away from the flowers, "Those are Himerus flowers! They insight the latent passion within a person. If you were to inhale but a small about of the pollen, you would most likely experience exceedingly strong desire for myself……On second thought…smell it-GAAHH!!"

Rin had promptly declined the elderly shaman's suggest with a fist in the gut! The maiden had recalled her lessons in biology about such plants as Himerus flower. If the two of them had strolled across the field, then they kick up massive amounts of pollen and would inhale it in no time. The field is too large for us to hold our breath, Rin silently thought, so I guess we'll have to veer around it…wait…what's that?

Off into the middle the field, Rin could see two other people standing. Calling over to them and waving her hands, the maiden had tried the pair's attention…but to no avail.

"Hey, old geezer" Rin said to the man…who was still out of breath, "Is there a way to get to those guys over there without become all lovey-dovey?"

"You punch me in the stomach…then you ask for my help?!"

"You want another…" The girl stated flatly, thrusting her balled hand into her palm. The old man speedily went into a chant……

"Moromoro no magagoto tsumi kegare o

Harai tamae kiy tamae to

Mosu koto no yoshi o

…Tamayoke!!"

The elderly shaman raised his right hand and traced a broad pentagram in the air. A line of white light would appear every time he moved his hand and very quickly a pentagram of pure white formed. When the shaman stopped, a second image, the Triforce, formed in the middle of the pentagram glowing bright gold. A second later, a large blue bubble fashioned around the old man and Rin.

"The barrier will deflect all harmful elements that may hit it." The elderly shaman explained to the girl. The man reached around Rin's shoulders and pulled her against himself, as he went on, "You must stay close…as the spell would only remain-GAH!!"

"Not that close, you dirty old bastard!!" The maiden exclaimed as she rammed her elbow into the shaman's face.

After the old man recovered from his injury, Rin and he trudged across the field to its center. As the two reached the second pair, the raven haired girl gasped! There, in the middle of the field, stood Naru and the Goron from the inn…holding each other's hands and looking deeply into other's eyes.

"Oh…Ryuga…" The green haired maiden began to declare, "To meet someone like you…in a place such as this. It's such a beautiful surprise!"

"Oh…Naru…" The mountain dweller then started, "I don't know why it took me so long to realize these feelings for you. From the first moment I saw you…it was like the heavens were singing!"

"Oh, Ryuga…"

"Oh, Naru…"

"Oh, brother…" Rin rubbed her temple as she watched the scene unfold.

"It appears the two have fallen under the power of the Himerus flowers" The elderly shaman proclaimed.

"ReallyI hadn't noticed!"

"Oh, Naru……If I could, I'd give you the sun and the moon wrapped up in a bow-" Rin's hand stopped Ryuga before he finish as she push him back. The green haired maiden received the same with the other hand.

"Ok, all the Romeo-Juliet-ing needs to stop. NOW!!" The raven haired girl announced as looked at both of them. Her face softened as she asked, "Have either of you seen Link?! Or Meeko?!"

The two shook their heads, no. Rin removed her hands and let lovebirds revert to there previous interactions (sweet-nothings and that lot…). The raven haired maiden looked back to the forest…her heart ached with worry for her friend and Link. Had they been transported safely? Were they lying somewhere…injured…unable to move? Would something even more trouble happen before she could reach them?!

Rin reached her arms around herself and squeezed the negativity out of her. If I only think about the worst, the maiden thought to herself, then it will eat away at me before I get to them. I got to be POSITIVE!! HELL YEAH!!

And with that thought, the girl grabbed the other three that rushed off into the woods……

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

Somewhere deep in Veles Forest, the last paired couple from Titania's teleportation escapade made their way through the thicket. Meeko and Link had been surprised to find the two of them in the middle woods, the fairy queen's clearing gone, and everyone else missing(Who could have guessed). The Yellow Maiden had quickly deciphered that Titania's attack was really a warping spell and the others were moved across forest. They just needed to find them……

"You know, it's kinda strange…" Link suddenly stated as the pair continued to walk. Meeko looked back at the hero as he went on with amused grin, "It's like the fates won't stop until we're together!"

"I don't want to hear your pervy opinions on the matter!! All I want is to make sure our friends are ok!"

So much for pleasantries, Link thought silently. Meeko had not let up on her attitude towards the hero and his supposed 'pervy-ness'. Though there was a lot less violence…not that Link was complaining. It was just that…she didn't seem to went to be anywhere near him, or at least that was what the hero had thought. Meeko had been acting weird since they defeated Jalhalla…tensing up around him, never wanting to look at him in the eye, spending long periods of time in mute reflection. Even as they walked through the forest, the girl took several steps ahead of Link and pretended that the hero wasn't even there.

"Meeko…?" Link began to ask, hoping to find an answer to the odd behavior, "Is there something stupid that I did that made you angry or whatever?"

The girl continued to walk in silence.

"Come on!" The hero tried again, "Don't act like that nothings wrong! I must have don't something to make you act so weird-"

"SHUT UP!! NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT YOUR PERVERTED SELF!!" The maiden bellowed back at Link, stopping the hero in his tracks. Meeko had halted as well, a yard or so from him, "Just…stop blame yourself!! That five minutes and stop being the perfect, caring guy!!"

Link blinked at the girl, perplexed. Meeko voiced her last comment in a weak, cracked tone…as though saying it had placed on the edge of an emotional breakdown. The girl remained as still as stone, her head hung down as she looked towards the ground. She had shrunk into herself, pulling her arms close to her body, and hoped Link would drop the subject…drop the talking!! Awkward silence was much more appealing to Meeko than awkward discussion.

"Meeko…please…" Link said softly as he walked over to the maiden. As he reached her, Link turned Meeko to face him, "You're my friend. Please let me help you…"

There was a moment where nothing happened…Meeko faced toward the hero, but her head still hanged down and obscuring her expression. Link continued to watch the top of head as he looked down to her, wishing that the girl stop being so difficult about this! She might be a little younger than me, the hero thought to himself, but she doesn't have to act like a child!!

Finally, Meeko move her face up and meet Link…and she received a gasp from the hero. The maiden's eyes great and puffy red as tears down her cheeks. Her bottom lip tensed and shook as it held back the sobs. The sight struck Link's heart like a knife. She…was crying……Because…of him…?

The girl turned away and ran. She didn't where she was going, but Meeko only knew that she didn't want to be by Link. The hero stood motionless for a second, baffled from…EVERTHING!! Then he ran after the maiden. Link couldn't leave Meeko alone in that forest (who knows what else is in those damn woods!). Meeko was still running, no destination, when her foot snagged against a tree root. There wasn't enough time for her to catch herself before her face hit the ground…though there was enough time to realize what was going happen…and that it was going hurt……

WHAAM!!

"…ow…" And it did hurt. As the maiden lifted herself up, nursing her face (Oh, man! She had a big red mark down her face!!), she notice a few red flowers, "What are those again……Something called Himuel or Hinduous-Achoo!!…geh…stupid pollen……"

Link had just caught up with Meeko as she was lifting herself from the earth. Good thing she's a klutz, the hero silently thought. He reached down and clutched the maidens arm, helping her up……

"Hey, you ok?!" Link asked with smile as held back his laughter (I'm telling you! That red mark!!). The girl looked up at Link, into his eyes…his beautiful crystal blue eyes……

"…Link…" Meeko said quietly as a second line of red ran across her face, "Your eyes…they're so blue…"

"W-W-W-What?!" The hero took a few steps back as his eye twitched. What did she just say, Link thought in wonder. Meeko walked right up to him, hands clasped in front of her, and gazed at the hero.

"Link…I'm sorry."

"WHAT?!"

"I was always so mean to you because I thought that you were involved with Izunoo and that you are a perv. But really, I think your really nice and sweat!" Meeko took Link's hand and placed it on her chest, between her breasts. The action freaked the hero out (in more ways than one), "Can you feel it! My heart is beating fast and fast as you touch me!"

"Meeko!! What's wrong with you!!" Link tore his hand away and started to retreat backwards. Meeko stayed with him and inched closer…eventually the hero fell. As Link lay on the ground, the maiden hovered over him on her hands and knees in a very intimate position, "Meeko!! W-Why are you…"

Link would have gone on if he had seen the look on Meeko's face. The bright eyes that studied him with half smile kind of look that the hero had seen a lot of…and before he could stop her, Meeko speedily leaned down and engulfed Link's lips with her own. Link's eyes widened as the girl started to gently lick his lips, asking for entry for her tongue. That was far enough for Link! He pushed Meeko up by the shoulder and broke the kiss.

"What's wrong?! Wasn't it nice?!" The maiden asked fearfully. Her eyes cast worry and left Link speechless. What would he say? His friend had just kissed him out of the blue! (What would you say?!). Some yards away in some bushes, a familiar boy and his fairy fangirl had seen the scene unfold……

"Oki-kun?" Puck posed to the young shaman. Okiru said nothing…he just turned away for the other two and calmly walked away. "Oki-kun!! Wait for me!!"

Back to Link and the crazed maiden, Link was in a bind. Whatever insanity that had made Meeko kiss the hero, wouldn't help him now. Link had never had thought of the girl in a romantic way before, nor had he then…he didn't think he ever would! To think someone is attractive is one thing, to really want to be with them? (Come on!)

"Meeko…I don't want us to be like this…" Link had to tell her the truth, what was in his heart, "You're just a friend to me…and if you keep…I don't want us to stop being friends!"

"Link…" The maiden reached down and hugged the hero's head, "Link, your so kindhearted!! But I not afraid of being with you! Even if you are a perv!!"

"…you still think I'm a pervert…"

"Your actions interest me" A voice race out of the darkness. Looking around, Link and Meeko found the fairy queen, Titania, floating out of the shadows. The hero swiftly stood up and unsheathed his sword…the maiden remained attached to his neck. Meeko…, Link silently fumed, like I don't get this enough from Rin!! Titania seemed unmoved from the hero's intimidating stance as she went on, "Warrior in greendo you value this girls feelings above your own gain?"

"My own gain…?" Link inquired in bewilderment, "Did you think I was going to take advantage of her when she's like this?!"

"Morals have little in this world. You take what happiness you cannot caring where it comes or who it effects. Cruelty is apart of your nature…"

"I don't know where you get your information, but you're dead wrong. If fight to protect my friends and innocent people. I don't hurt them."

"…My informationis from experience. I know how a mortal would act because that is how HE acted."

"Will I'm not him!!" Link glared back at the queen…infuriated at being compared to someone he didn't even know! Meeko was still enthralled with the hero's shoulder as she nestle her head into it. Link continued, "Just because that guy and me are both mortals doesn't make us the same! It's not fair to group us together!! I've met fairy queens before that are nothing like you, so it's obvious that you understand differences!! I'M NOT HIM!!" Titania was taken aback. Was he different, the queen thought to herself, or was it trick?

"……Hewas the first mortal I met in centuries…" Titania related, turning away from the pair and place a hand on her heart, "He know how sad I was now that daythe day when Alberich and I vowed our unending love. He said that I could love othersand still love my dear Alberich. He said that I deserved love……" Link blinked at the queen in confusion (a little third person would have been helpful), "He left for the war and didn't came back to meeven now, he chooses not to be with me."

"Well, I'm not him…" Link replied confidently, "…and neither was Alberich! Believe me!!"

Titania looked back at him and smiled (Link guessed). Her feet hovered down to the earth and touched down. The purple flames covering her body and her fiery wings disappeared, leaving her naked. The queen's blazing hair swayed down over body and changed to strips of red, orange, yellow as her eyes changed from crimson to white with soft lilac irises. Titania beauty left Link dumbstruck…she was like a living masterpiece.

"You have more courage than most, young warrior." The fairy queen said, her voice had changed to a motherly tone. She walked over to Link and Meeko, "Most would have tried to slay me…and then they would die. But then…you and Alberich are not like that other man." Link smirked as he replace his sword into is scabbard, "I want to give you something. There isn't any real reason for me to…but I want to give it to you anyway!"

Reaching out her hand, Link's boomerang suddenly appeared in front of Titania. The queen gently blew on the item and a bright light engulf the boomerang. After a second, the light died down and the hero's eyes widen when he saw the item……

"Th-The Gale Boomerang?!"

"I have born a gust fairy into your weapon." Titania announced, "It should prove use to you…"

"Y-Yeah……damnit…I hate time-travel…"

The queen gave him a small giggle and turned to the maiden…who still latched onto Link. Placing her hand on the girl, Titania whole body glowed for a moment and then she stepped back. Meeko blinked a couple times in disorientation. She stared up to Link and he gave her an innocent grin.

"LINK YOU PERV!!" The maiden screamed and slammed the hero with her fist, sending Link flying into a tree…a few yards away…

Titania blinked in confusion at the display. Even if I live to the end of time, the queen silently thought, I will never understand mortals……

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

Meanwhile, in another part of the forest……

"Linkie-hun!! Meeko!! Where are you?!"

"Oh, Naru…"

"Oh, Ryuga…"

"Rin…perhaps we should slip up into pairs. You and myself and-GAAH!!"


Author's Note: Well wasn't that cool. Yes, yes...'what happened to OoT Link?' I'll get to that. I'm hoping for a better chapter next time. So, please, review this chapter.
