I left Valory to herself and wandered through the corridors on the fifth floor. Valory. For some reason she has been on my mind a lot lately. There's this...warmth...that comes over me whenever I see her. It continuously comes back, even just now before I left. I have always felt cold, anger, hatred, malevolence, lonelinesss, and distrust. This girl though...she makes me feel...different.
My musings were interrupted however when a servant, Lyle I believe is his name, came down the corridor to inform me that Link and Princess Zelda had finally arrived and were awaiting my appearance in the castle foyer. i nodded curtly to show that I had heard him and indeed been paying attention. Lyle then scurried off to do whatever it was he was supposed to do next. I, on the other hand, turned on my heel and descended down the steep winding staircase.
Zelda and Link greeted me cordially as I swiftly entered the foyer. I led them into the Great Hall at which time myy mind had already drifted back to Valory. Speaking of the human, where was Link's friend Shadow? I could swear by the Goddesses that I had told him her assistance was required! Why that insolent, stubborn, dim-wittted, fo-
"Link?" I asked in a sugary tone with a small smile on my face. I really should smack him for the way he responded. Honestly could he be any more stupid? "Yes, your oh so great Majesty whom everyone in all the worlds love and adore?'. I growled low in annoyance and the princess promptly whacked the moron upside his stupid, blonde head. Now I fully understood where the term "dumb blonde" had originated from. I sighed and opened my mouth to speak when I head a bout of laughter erupt from upstairs in the direction of my living quarters. Quite concerned that something had possibly happened to my human I hurried up the stairs and sprinted through the corridors finally coming to my door. Of course THATS when it hit me that I had called Valory my human. What the hell was I thinking when I said that? Or thought. Oh whatever who cares?
I threw open the door and stood there gaping in shock. I heard surprised gasps from behind me which were no doubt Priness Zelda and that oaf Link. I REALLY need to beef up my security within the castle. Honestly, How the hell had she been able to find her way to MY bed chambers? "OI! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?" I shouted. Two pairs of eyes looked at me in alarm. I could see laughter in the sapphire eyes of Valory. Fear shown in the emerald eyes of Shadow.
*Valory's P.O.V*
Shadow was hovering above me when I opened my eyes and she was lucky that I didn't attack her! Apparently the surprised look on my face amused her for she burst into a fit of giggles. I tried my best to put on a stern face but ended up failing miserably and laughing along with her. Somehow I feel as if I have known her my whole life. But that can't be, can it? I honestly don't know anymore.
"My best friend in the whole wide worlds has told me some stuff about YOU Valory!" Shadow winked at me which made me a bit nervous," lets see. You are human are you not?" "Hn"
"You came to Hyrule from a different dimension?"
"Hn"
"If you 'Hn' me ONE more time, I'm going to smack you with this pillow!" She threatened as she grabbed a pillow from behind me and raised it over her head.
"Hn," I replied with a smirk.
"GRRR SON OF A B-" was all I heard before her voice was muffled by the pillow she thwacked me with. I'm lucky it was a soft pillow too or that would have hurt! Geez this girl has some serious strength!
And that's how the pillow fight started. We were only fighting for about five minutes and alreayd the room was strewn with feathers! Shadow and I erupted into raucous laughter after taking a glance at each other. We were COVERED in feathers! Poor Shadow laughed so hard she fell off the bed and onto the floor with a THUMP! oh my Goddesses I felt bad for her.
"And just WHAT do YOU think is so funny Valory?" she growled as she sprung from the floor and pounced on me, causing me to shriek in surprise. Somehow one of the pillows had avoided destruction and she was now holding it above me. Just as she was about to hit me we heard a voice I knew only too well.
"OI! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?" shouted Dark Link as he stared at us. I kept my mouth shut and looked away knowing that if I looked him in the face I'd have another laughing fit. Shadow however was startled so bad that she once again fell off the bed. Zelda, Link, Dark, and I sweatdropped anime-style as she stood up swaying a bit saying'" I'm okay!" before she collapsed on the floor.
I sighed and hopped off the bed. Too bad I stumbled. Luckily for me I felt a pair of arms lift me up before my face met the floor. UNluckily, it was Dark Link and once I looked up and into his eyes I couldn't look away. I was in a trance of some sort it seemed...such amazing crimson orbs...
*Dark's P.O.V*
I was just about furious! Why the HELL hadn't Link kept a better eye on his little girlfriend? And pillow or not, no matter how soft it is, NOBODY was going to hit my Valory! Wait. My Valory? Ugh, there I go AGAIN with saying that she's mine.
I sweatdropped along with everyone else as Shadow collapsed. You'd think the girl would have a better sense of equilibrium! But no, she was clumsy. Even her midnight black hair was in disarray now though her bangs still covered her right eye somehow. Eh, who cares?
I lurched forward quickly as I saw Valory come close to hitting the ground. I'd been so caught up in my thoughts that I hadn't noticed her stumble. And I call Link idiotic? I'm such a hypocrite *sweatdrop*. I lifted Valory up gently so as not to hurt her and let her rest in my arms for a moment to regain her balance. Only, it was more than a moment when I became trapped in those beautiful sapphire eyes of her. Again that same feeling that kept coming back came back again. Only this time it was full force.
I don't know why I did what I did. I just seemed to react on instinct. As her eyes slid closed I leaned forward and kissed her. I actually kissed her. I felt Valory tense as our lips met, and I felt as she relaxed into my embrace. She kissed me back and for some reason I felt...happy...like I had always wanted to feel like this. She tasted like blue rasperry, one of my favorite flavors. I didn't want this moment to end but of course someone had to clear their throat. Of course it would be Link.
"Ahem, sorry to ruin the moment but we have a meeting we need to begin, Dark Link," said Link in a rather obnoxious tone. I pulled away from Valory, who was blushing a pretty pink color, and narrowed my eyes at Link. "Considering your tone, Link, I think it's safe to say that you're jealous that your used to be shadow can get his first kiss before you can. And also I have a gift I got for Valory the yesterday when I passed the market. Princess, please take Link and the both of you wait down in the Great Hall for me?" Zelda nodded and curtsied as she dragged a blustered Link from the room by his pointy elfen ear.
"Come, Valory, or I might never give you your gift," I said mysteriously. Of course she said the last thing I expected.
"Hn"
"Hn? Since when do you start saying what I usually say?"
"Hn"
"Really?"
"Hm?"
"Ugh whatever c'mon!" I grabbed her hand and dragged her to the Seaul Wing of the castle. (A/N: Seaul is pronounced like soul. I made it up) I watched as her eyes shined brighter as we walked into a grand room filled with a certain special something. Something she was sure to love. And from the sparkle in her eyes I'd guess she indeed loved it. This was the room of...
