Ash: Ohkay guys, I know this is pretty short, but I am JUST getting back on track! I finally have a good muse for this story and I will be updating every chance I get! I apologize for the long wait, so here's a kind of filler chapter I guess? Kind of funny though at least (:
-Valory-
The rustling bushes happened to be a minute squirrel looking creature scampering through the area looking for food. Goddesses, I was so paranoid! 'That damn jerk has me on edge now! I really am pathetic,' I thought irritably as I watched it climb a tree and eat a berry.
What is up with Dark Link anyway? First he's kind of nice, and next he's outright mean. Does he have Multiple Personality Disorder? Maybe he's bipolar, yeah that'd explain it. Somehow though, I knew that wasn't the case.
Dark had only started acting weird right before I'd been kidnapped. Could it be that Ganondorf's presence would make him angry enough to not care about hurting someone? I started to feel guilty as I thought about this. I had never considered the stress Dark Link must be under with his nemesis still lurking in his own dimension. Now he was just trying to help, and I was pushing him away.
I sighed and shook my head before jumping slightly, having felt fur touch my legs. I calmed quickly however, it was only Tsukario. "Hey there, came to check on me?" I smiled at my little bundle of joy. He purred in agreement and jumped on my lap so I could pet him more. And then he ripped off my choker and took off with it.
"TSUKARIO GET BACK HERE!" I shouted as I tore after him.
-Dark Link-
Damn it, that girl has a good right hook! My hand covered my nose as blood continued to pour out, staining my gauntlets. Okay, so maybe I should have listened to her the first time, but I enjoyed seeing at least some type of emotion from her rather than seeing her give me the full cold shoulder.
I growled in annoyance as I made my way to the indoor spring. I gently cleared my face of the blood and took off my gauntlets to let them soak and remove the blood as well.
'Why is Valory so angry at me?' I asked myself, 'I thought..that we were friends…or more..'. His thoughts became muddled as an image of Valory popped into his head. Her sapphire blue eyes that sparkled with laughter, her high cheek bones, long ebony hair with crimson streaks, her slightly tilted upper lip and pouty lower lip that..nevermind. He shook his head and stripped before sinking slowly into the spring. This was a time when he could finally clear his head, at least for a little while.
-Shadow-
I fidgeted nervously as Link still had his eyes closed. He looked so damn cute! "Link?" I asked tentatively. One blue eye opened at my question and I blushed lightly. He smirked at me and slowly stood up, stretching. I almost drooled over how his muscle showed against his shirt and tunic. Who knew the boy was so ripped? Well, that's how Valory would word it.
"What are you staring Shadow? See something you like?" Link teased as he came and sat on the bed next to me. I blushed furiously and shook my head no. "Why would I like seeing you? You're invisible, like a ghost, so of course I can't see you because ghost ar-" he shut up my rambling with a soft kiss.
My eyes widened in surprise as his closed and his warm mouth moved over mine in a gentle caress. I couldn't believe this was actually happening, but I welcomed it all the same as I leaned into him, before reluctantly pulling away for air.
"Wow…" we breathed at the same time, smiling.
-Valory-
Sprinting through the woods I almost caught Tsukario before he jerked away and ran in a different direction. Why was this cub doing this to me? I just wanted my choker back for Goddesses sake! "Tsukario!" I shouted as I began to run again. A blur of white darted in front of me and I followed. Unfortunately he stopped abruptly right between two bushes, and unable to stop my momentum I tumbled over him.
My muscles screamed in protest as I managed to sit up. My back felt like it had been run over with a truck that had then backed up and run over it again. 'Damn it Tsukario' I thought irritatedly. My head swam for a minute before my vision came back into focus. I picked up my choker that Tsukario had left behind and placed it back around my neck.
I was about to leave to go find the cub when I heard a sound behind me. Splashing water…and the rustling of clothes? I pivoted on my heel only to face Dark Link..who had..nothing on…
Ash: Aaaw Shadow got to kiss her Dear LInky ^.^ The next chapter should be up by next week. R&R! They help, trust me o.o Ja Ne! (:
