Ruki44: Ok I know that I haven't updated this in forever but I'm gonna ammend that right now.

Tetra: You lazy ass!

Ruki44: Where's Ruki, Rukia, and Hinata?

Tetra: Um let's see her, I bribed Tsunade with sake to send Hinata and Naruto out on a mission, just the two of them, I locked Ruki and Takato in a closet somewhere and Rukia...I don't know. Something about Chappy or other.

Ruki44: ...Nice. Anyways here are the character profiles so far.

Link: The hero of this story and the narrator. "Kidnapped" Zelda with the help of Midna. Is out to save the children of his village and is the current servent of Midna. Thinks Midna and Zelda are insane.

Zelda: The mysterious Princess of Hyrule. At first she seems calm, composed, and serious, but when "kidnapped" by Midna and Link, she started acting more like a child. Even so, according to Coro, that isn't her true personality. Nobody, not even Zelda herself knows what this "true personality" is. But what is known about Zelda is that she is the only one who can understand Link whe in his wolf form due to thier bond through the Triforce. Also she has a somewhat serious case of archnophobia. She has become a servent of Midna to help Link out in his quest.

Midna: A child of the twilight, helped Link "kidnap" Zelda and made a pact with Link, if became her sevant, she would help him find the children of Hyrule. Seems to understand Zelda's plight better then anybody and is rather close to her. She's sane...somewhat.

Tetra: Wow, nice...

Ruki44: Thanks. Anyways, the Forest Temple saga is divided into three parts. I orginally was going to have it in two but I figured that I might as well get this out to you guys. And be sure to be on the lookout for my new story "Races of Hyrule". It's basically a screwball comedy how the races of Hyrule became to be. Like why the hell the Oocca look like chickens and why the Rito evolved from the Zora. Stars everybodies favorite goddesses-Naryu, Din, and Farore.

Tetra: Way to advertise there...

Ruki44: Ya I know, pretty smart eh?

Tetra: ...Actually, ya. It is pretty smart. Wow...



The Forest Temple-Monkeys, Baboons, and Bridges

We walked down the narrow hall and into a large room.

"Look Link, there's a monkey, and in it's a cage. How cruel!" Zelda lamented. I twitched my eye.

"That's the monkey that stole my lantern…how the hell did it get into a cage so fast!" I cried out, pointing my finger.

"Honestly, does it really matter?" Zelda pouted.

"Yes! Who gets caught that quickly! We saw her not five minutes ago!" I exclaimed.

"Doesn't matter, come on we're going to go help it out!" Zelda declared and she unsheathed her sword and cut the cage down in a swift stroke. The monkey climbed up a vine-covered wall and jumped up and down.

"Hey, she wants us to follow. C'mon!" Zelda exclaimed and started to follow before I held her back.

"Wait, do you not see them spiders on the wall." I said sighing, pointing to all the little eight-legged freaks on the wall.

"Oh…I was just so preoccupied in wanting to follow the monkey I didn't see them." Zelda laughed sheepishly. I sighed.

"Just a sec. I'll get rid of the spiders and we can chase the monkey." I told her and I took out my slingshot and took them down. "Ok, now we can go." I told her smiling.

"Ya!" she cried out happily and dashed up the vines. I sweatdropped. I felt like I was babysitting. I sighed and followed Zelda up the wall, who was smiling down at me. When I finally reached to where she was, she bounded up on her feet and grinned at me. "Come on Link!" she said excitedly, pointing toward a door. "The monkey went this way!"

"Ok Zelda, I'm coming." I told her. Yea, defiantly babysitting, a hyperactive child that is. We walked through the door and in the center was this platform with four unlit torches. "Looks like we're going to have to light those torches on that platform if we want to go deeper into the temple." I told Zelda thoughtfully.

"Yea…hey Link, do you feel like something is up there on that platform? Like something evil and once we get up there it's gonna jump us or something?" Zelda asked me, looking at the platform a bit uneasily.

"No. Why?" I asked her confused.

"No reason." She said. Midna leaped out of my shadow and put one arm around Zelda and the other around me.

"Careful Link, Zelda's princess-senses are tingling." She said with mock seriousness.

"Princess-senses?" I asked raising an eyebrow. Zelda grinned at me, as did Midna.

"Yea, princess-senses, you can't tell me you never heard of them before!" Zelda said in mock surprise.

"Ya! It's when a princess can feel something very bad is going to happen, and it's usually right." Midna told me, pretending she was explaining something of great importance.

"You guys call it paranoia, but we prefer to call it extreme caution and when we feel this extreme caution ringing, we call it our princess-senses, or king-senses, or…" Zelda explained further before Midna interrupted her.

"You get the idea. Any other stupid questions?" she asked me.

"It wasn't a stupid question, it was a stupid comment!" I argued back. Zelda pouted.

"Aw don't be that way Link." She whined. Urk, damn, why the hell is she cute!

"Hmph. Whatever. Let's just go." I replied turning away. I swear, I feel Zelda's grin at me.

"Real mature Link." Her and Midna laughed. Why oh why does the ones that have the power to help me save my friends are completely off their rockers?! Why do the goddesses curse me so? I pretended to ignore them and walked up the platform and I heard Zelda's footsteps fall in step behind me and I felt her smirk on the back of my head.

I climbed the steps up the platform and the monkey in front of me stopped on the steps and started to quiver. What's its deal? Zelda stopped next to me and looked down on the quivering monkey as well. She then turned her head to the ceiling.

"Link…" her voice cracked, laced with fear. I turned to face her.

"What?" I asked her. She raised her hand and pointed to where she was looking, my eyes followed her arm upwards and there in the ceiling was the freaking huge spider.

"Oh my…please tell me this isn't one of those Skullutas things you were telling Midna about earlier…" I gasped.

"Then I would be lying." Zelda moaned.

"You and your goddesses damned princess-senses." I grumbled and unsheathed my sword.

"What are you doing Link?" Zelda cried, grabbing on my sleeve, fear in her eye. I smiled at her.

"Don't worry about a thing ok? I'll protect you." Ok that had be the corniest line I ever said, but Zelda let go of my sleeve and I continued up the stairway and then the Skulluta dropped down. I unsheathed my sword.

"Let's go…YOU EIGHT-LEGGED FREAK!" I yelled. The Skulluta lunged for me and I blocked its menacing pincers that tried to get a good grip of me. "No way, you're getting at me. Now shrivel up and DIE!" I lunged at it, hitting it all with my best combos, when I did a jump attack it stopped attacking me and rolled itself in a little ball. I heard Zelda moan, and then it vanished. I looked back on her and Midna was hovering over her shoulder worryingly. I jumped down the steps.

"Zelda! You ok?" I asked worriedly. She didn't look well at all.

"Besides feeling like I'm gonna barf? Just peachy." She muttered. I sighed and walked in front of her and squatted down.

"Get on." I told her.

"What?" Zelda looked at me as if I grew an extra head.

"Get on, come on. You obviously aren't feeling well and I'm guessing that Skulluta is to blame…" I explained. I felt her arms wrap around my neck and I picked her up. I looked over my shoulder and smiled. "Just hang ok? And please, don't lose your lunch." Zelda smiled and laughed weakly.

"Can't make any guarantees." She replied. I laughed and Midna floated around before happily landing lightly on Zelda's shoulders.

"Well Link, come on let's go. Go do hero stuff." She told him cheerfully, being careful not to agitate Zelda. I stuck my tongue out at her and Zelda chuckled. I walked up the platform feeling strangely happy. Even though I didn't know where the kids were, and that I had to go through this whole hero thing, just being around with Zelda and Midna made it worthwhile.

I carefully got my lantern, so as not to bother Zelda, and lit the four torches. A stairway appeared and I raised my eye.

"Wow…wasn't expecting that." I remarked, quite impressed, in a freaked out kind of way.

"Nobody was expecting that." Midna remarked sarcastically. I ignored her and started walking up the stairs. At the top was a platform and to the left, a treasure chest. I walked over and slowly bent down to take a closer look. I tried to open it. It was locked. Damn.

"I can pick the lock for you." Zelda said suddenly, catching me by surprised. I looked at her 

incredulously.

"You can pick locks." I asked her raising my eyebrow. Zelda shrugged.

"How else do you think I sneak out of the castle?" she asked me like I was an idiot.

"You sneak out of the castle?" I asked her in disbelief. Zelda shrugged.

"Sure, everybody does at one point or another. My house is just bigger, surrounded like guards so it's like house arrest, and…" Zelda counted off on her fingers.

"We get the point!" Midna snapped.

"Someone is PMSing…" Zelda muttered as she quickly undid the lock.

"Do do dooooo! It's a treasure map, it allows you to see different parts of the dungeon." I cried out with a victory pose as Zelda pulled a map out of the treasure chest.

"…." Midna and Zelda stared at me.

"Ok then…" Zelda muttered.

"Ya, ok then, never do that again." Midna muttered. I pouted as I slowly put my hand down.

"You guys are no fun." I whined. Midna and Zelda glanced at each other, having a secret, feminine, non spoken, fight with their eyes. Zelda sighed, Midna must have won.

"Link…we're not fun…it's that…ok how can I explain this nicely…It makes you look gay and it scares little children." Zelda told me solemnly. Wait, how the hell was that nice!

"How the hell…" I started to ask how the hell that was the put nicely before Midna interrupted me.

"Suck it up wolf boy, now come on. Hyrule isn't going to magically free itself from Zant's Twilight itself, so get a move on." Staying with these two is going to make me insane I swear. Muttering curses under my breath until I received a hit on the back of the head from Zelda who promptly told me to 'watch my language'.

The monkey motioned made its…monkey noise and pointed urgently toward the door.

"We're going already!" I growled, picking Zelda up who was trying discretely to stand on her own.

"I can walk." Zelda whined as she clutched my tunic. "I'm not a child."

"You're not walking until I think your fine." I muttered.

"Somebody is overprotective." Midna muttered.

"Somebody's pushy." I snapped back.

"LINK YOU BASTARD!" Midna yelled

"MIDNA YOU NAGGER!" I yelled back.

"ZELDA!" We both looked down at the Princess of Hyrule. Zelda shrugged. "My name wasn't yelled out." She explained. We both sweatdropped. How in the Sacred Realm has Hyrule survived as long as it did with a leader like this.

"Moving on, come on let's go." I muttered, pushing the door open with one hand, the other supporting Zelda, who had went back on her rant of 'put me down Link!'

We walked in the doorway to arrive to a rather large room. It was rather windy, which blew my mind how, and in the middle was a rope bridge, on the other side, a baboon with a boomerang. Wait, what!

"Why is that baboon holding a boomerang?" Zelda asked the question that was surely on all of our minds.

"I don't…" I started to the answer before the baboon threw the stupid thing, cutting the ropes to the bridge before mooning us and slapping its hindquarters, a sight I could easily have lived without thank you very much. After a shocked silence, Midna piped up.

"Well ok then, guess we turn back and find a different route." Midna said cheerfully.

"That monkey mooned us." Zelda's voice, surprisingly quiet startled me and apparently Midna seeing as she jumped five feet in the air. I looked down at her in surprise. Her bangs were covering her eyes. "That monkey mooned us…and taunted us." She continued on. An impending sense of doom came over me. Zelda snapped her head up, a fire in her eyes.

"THAT CALLS FOR WAR! I AM NOT ABOUT TO GET BY MOONED BY A MONKEY AND TAKE IT LIGHTLY! I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!" Zelda yelled at the doorway where the monkey left. She started to breathe heavily, muttering words I dare not repeat under her breath.

After a shocked silence that was only filled by Zelda's dark threats I piped up.

"I think your fine to walk now."

Ruki44: Ya ok then! Revew ya!
