Wow. I haven't updated in a looooooong time. Thanks, Bleachfangirl, for somehow motivating me to continue. --> - -- --'?

I hope you remember the characters. Well, anyways, Famine is that jester dude, who works for... uh... that other dude. They captured Link. View Chapter Five to freshen up your memory. Hope you enjoy! And sorry I took so long!

Under His Spell

Chapter Seven: He's Escape!

Meanwhile, Famine was setting up a campfire, humming to himself. Link was watching, thinking up some way to escape. But not without a bit of information.

"Hey, Famine," Link called out, a mischievous grin wiped across his face. "Need a hand?"

The jester-like sidekick, (well, it's just call him a jester), stopped and spun around, casting Link a suspicious look.

"And…" Famine lifted one eyebrow. "Who are you again?"

"Link."

"And, why are you here?"

"'Cuz you, somehow, kidnapped me and brought me here."

"And, that makes you…?"

"A prisoner?"

"Exactly!"

Famine spun around again and got back to setting up the campfire.

Wow, Link thought. He's not as dumb as he looks.

"You seem kind of bored," Link tried again. "Wanna… talk?"

The jester turned his head slowly, giving Link a cheesy, (very, very cheesy and very, very creepy) smile.

"Why, of course…! What do you want to talk about?"

"Okay then. Let's start with… who is your master?"

"My master……" Famine started. "is my master, of course!"

"No, I meant like, what's his name? What kind of person is he? Any kind of information. Like who are his family?"

"Hmm…" Famine stood up straight and tall, scratching his chin, in thought. "Well, I see no harm in telling who about my master, so I guess…"

"I'll tell ya!" Famine shouted suddenly appearing beside Link, with his cheesy, cheesy smile. "Once upon a time…"

"This isn't a story!" Link snapped. I hate jesters… "Why not… I'll be asking all the questions here."

"What if I say no answer?"

"I just want to know who he is."

The jester took a deep breath and whispered, "Uchiha… Itachi."

Link nodded, but Famine was not done just yet.

"He wiped out his entire clan. The Uchiha clan. But sparing his one and only younger brother, Sasuke."

Link noticed something different about Famine. His voice had become… softer. Gentler. This wasn't the Famine Link knew for… a couple of hours.

"You're not Famine," Link said, convinced, shaking his head. "You're not Famine."

"You're right," Poof! It's Ino. "I'm not Famine."

"So, you've been disguised as an annoying jester all along?" Link asked.

"No. The real Famine is with Itachi in the woods. I'm not quite sure what they're doing, but I bet they're planning something."

"Planning what?"

"Well… Planning to get rid of Sasuke, of course."

"Get rid of Sasuke? His brother? But then, why did he spare him when he killed the rest of his clan if he wants to kill him now?"

"He thought Sasuke would be weak. Well, over these last few years, Sasuke has gotten stronger. Possibly strong enough to defeat him. And Itachi doesn't want him getting in the way. Or, losing to him."

"Why does he need me then?"

"You're going to lure Sasuke into his trap. Some kind of trap."

"How?"

"See, Sasuke is madly in love with Zelda."

"WHAT???" Link clutched his fists. Anger and jealousy fluttered inside of him viciously.

"Hey, hey. Be quiet, will ya? Don't worry, your girl dumped him."

"She is not my girl!"

"Uh-huh…" Ino gave a mischievous grin and continued. "Well, anyways, Itachi knows that, and if you could get Zelda to follow you, Sasuke would follow and then end up getting caught into Itachi's trap."

"Will it work?"

"No, of course not! That's why you gotta get out of here!"

"How? I'm tied up!"

"That's why I'm here, right?" Ino took out her kunai knife and sliced through the thick ropes that imprisoned Link.

"Finally! Free!" Link muttered, grinning. "Thanks a lot, Ino. I really appreciate it."

"No prob! Now, go get Zelda and get the hell out of here!"

"Sure. And thanks." Link said again.

"There's no time for thanking me! It's almost midnight for Pete's sake! Go, go, go!"

They were about to part ways until Ino added, "Oh, and make sure Zelda doesn't go anywhere near my Sasuke!"

Link chuckled. Well, Sasuke's definitely not getting my girl! I second that!

A couple of moments later…

"He's… ESCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPED!!!!!!!!!"

Man, that was loud, Link thought, chuckling to himself as he mad his way across the school yard. Oh, well, time to rescue Zelda from this screwed up Sasuke. She'll be so glad to see me!

"Aaaaaahhhhhhh!" he heard a shriek, too. Woops. Itachi killed Famine. He screams like a girl! Link guffawed.

Thanks for reading. I hoped you somewhat, kind of enjoyed it. Yes, I know it's kind of suckish, but... yeah. I'll try to update more often. And my other stories, too. Thank you.

I think we're getting real close to the ending. Well, we'll just have ta see.
