Chapter 4

"Is she coming to?" Asked a familiar voice that sounded like Marth.

"I think so, I felt her stir." Another voice which sounded like Ike's echoed in my ears. I found it comforting to hear. When I tried to roll over I found I was trapped in the arms of a strong man. I tried pulling away but failed as he pulled me back down. "Whoa there princess. You aren't fully recovered yet." I opened my eyes and looked up to find myself sitting in Ike's lap. I also spotted Marth and Peach standing beside the bed.

"What happened Ike?" I asked. I realized my head ached so I groaned and laid back on Ike's firm chest.

"You passed out of heat exhaustion." He sighed and shook his head. "Why didn't you tell me you weren't feeling the greatest?"

"I didn't realize it." I replied.

"How do you not realize that you're pushing your body to hard?" Marth cut in. Peach sighed and placed a hand on Marth's shoulders.

"Marth, all that matters now is that she's here and being treated." Peach however walked around the curtain and began conversing with someone else. She came back with Daisy behind her carrying two glasses of ice cold water. "Here Zelda, sip it slowly. And you two Ike. Both of you need to cool down and relax for the rest of the day." Daisy handed us both the glasses and walked off. Ike the released me and sat beside me on the bed. He took a small sip of the water and laid his head back against the wall.

"When you're done with that Daisy told me to get you into a nice cold bath." Peach sat down in the chair beside Marth and sighed waiting. I sipped slowly on the water multiple times feeling extremely thirsty. Marth however leaned in and kissed Peach gently on the lips causing me to grimace and look away. Once I finished my glass, Ike held out his which still had more than half left. I took it slowly and handed him mine which he gladly took if it meant I was getting better. Once I was finished with Ike's too, Peach took both of them away. I tried to stand still feeling slightly woozy but better than before. Ike quickly made his way around the bed to help me. I took his hand and when he was sure I could support myself he released my hand. Peach came back and helped me fix all the creases and wrinkles in my dress.

"Alright, Zelda. Let's get you back to your room." I nodded my head and looked back at Ike as Peach led me off out of the infirmary and into my room. I sat down on my bed as she walked off into my bathroom humming. She filled the bathtub up with cold water and returned to me dragging me into the bathroom. She completely undid my hair and pulled it up into a messy bun on my head. As I slowly undressed and got in I shivered from the first touch of the cool water.

"Now you have to soak for at least 30 minutes no less." She then smiled and walked out of the bathroom closing the door behind her. I relaxed in the coolness of the water and thought about Ike. It seemed all I could think about was him lately. I wanted to go back and lay against him again. That was more comforting than anything else. I watched the clock and saw that only 15 minutes had passed. With a groan I slowly stood up and grabbed a towel wrapping it tightly around my body. Peach wouldn't know the difference. When I walked into my bedroom Peach laid out my clothes on my bed and I heard a light knock on the door. Great I thought. That must be peach coming to get on to me for getting out early. I made my way to the door and opened it partially to find the blue eyed mercenary.

"Oh Ike!" I blushed as well as he did and remembered that I was only in a towel. I attempted to hide my body behind the door and blushed harder. "Let me get dressed really quick." I shut the door as he nodded his head and quickly got dressed in the pair of shorts and plain shirt that Peach had out for me. Making my way back to the door I opened it again as Ike's cheeks were still slightly red. I motioned for him to come in and he did so not taking his eyes away from me. I sat down on my bed and blushed again as his eyes trailed up and down my body.

"I've never seen you dressed so relaxed." He chuckled. I shrugged my shoulders and motioned for him to sit beside me. As he sat down I scooted somewhat closer to him and grinned.

"I don't believe I ever have either." I replied. He held eye contact with me and sighed.

"Zelda please don't ever be afraid to tell me something." He started slowly. I lowered my eyes as he continued. "You have no idea how worried I was when you collapsed on me." I closed my eyes and resisted the urge to look at him, though it was hard when he placed his hand on mine. I began to think about the feelings I had towards him and argued constantly with myself about bringing it up.

He said not to be afraid to tell him anything. But what if he doesn't feel the same. Everything will be fine, just try...

"Zelda?" He started. I looked up at him about to speak but realized my face was again only a few inches away from his. I could smell his sweet breath which tempted me yet again. It seemed as the time passed our heads grew closer and closer. Zelda don't do it. Resist it... Oh forget this! I couldn't help it anymore but threw my arms around his neck and brought my lips to his in a long slow passionate kiss. He willingly kissed back wrapping his arms around my waist and pulled me closer. We both pulled back to breathe but let out foreheads stay together both of us almost panting. With my arms still wrapped around his neck the only thing I saw was the huge loving smile that now stretched across his lips. His eyes never left mine as he let out a low chuckle.

"You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that." He murmured leaning in closer. I grinned and brought my lips back to his again only this time shorter.

"You said I didn't have to be afraid to tell you anything." I stated with a giggle. "Does showing count?"

"I guess it does." He replied with a chuckle. He looked at the clock on the wall and sighed. It's getting late and you need rest." I frowned as he went to stand up.

"Wait! Please don't go yet." I stood up to push him back down on my bed. He sat back down willingly. "Please stay a little longer."

"Alright, I guess it wouldn't hurt." He sighed with a small smile and laid his head down on my pillow. I however used his chest as a pillow. We laid there for a long while. It hadn't noticed he had fallen asleep until I heard his soft snoring. When I looked up at him he had a small smile still on his lips. Now I knew he couldn't leave. With that in mind I snuggled closer to his side and closed my eyes drifting to sleep.


The next morning, I sat up in bed and realized Ike wasn't there. With a grimace. I stood and undressed to change into my usual purple and white dress. From behind me I heard Ike clear his throat. I stood up straight and faced him with a blush.

"I didn't know you were in the bathroom." I stated still blushing. His cheeks as well were slightly red. I quickly slipped on my dress and walked into the bathroom to fix my hair. Ike however followed me and watched. Ike's reflection in the mirror smiled softly with a sigh.

"You look beautiful no matter what." He stated with a small grin. I turned around just finishing with my hair and smiled at the floor.

"I disagree with that statement." I muttered. He moved closer to me placed his hands on both sides of my neck.

"You are." He merely stated lowering his head for a kiss. It was sad that I had to get on my tiptoes to kiss him. Suddenly someone knocked on the door and scared me. Ike stayed in the bathroom as I hurried to the door to answer it. Peach stood fully dressed and arms crossed.

"Zelda, do you know what time it is?" She asked tapping her foot. I shook my head and she sighed heavily. "Your match starts in five minutes and the visitors have already arrived for the weekend. You can't be late for this match!"

"Alright alright, I'm coming. Ike! Can you come here please?" I turned as he walked over to me and wrapped an arm around my waist. "Are you going to watch my match?"

"Of course, why wouldn't I?" He replied. He kissed my forehead gently and then my lips. "You better hurry." I nodded my head as peach stood wide eyed and opened mouth at what she just saw. As we walked she started to say something but I shook my head and waved a hand.

"Yes it's as you saw." I stated with a giggle. Peach grinned and stopped as we now had to go different ways.

"Alright, good luck!" She called as I hurried off to my match stage.

I stood on the Final Destination stage across from my opponent Pit, though he was a newcomer he'd been chosen for a reason. I studied his golden weapon with furrowing eyebrows. Is it a bow or a sword? Then I watched as he quickly separated it into two golden blades. It seemed to be both. As Master Hand's voice started the countdown, I prepared myself for anything. If he fought anything like Ike I may actually lose this match. Quickly I looked up in the stands and caught sight of Ike sitting next to two women. I didn't get to catch what they looked like because Pit had already started his attack. I gasped and jumped backwards dodging as he swung his swords at the ground from above my head. Thrusting my hands out at the angel boy, I just barely caught his leg causing him to face plant into the ground. He stood up quickly though and charged at me for another attack. I dodged this time as well. He grunted in frustration.

"You sure know how to dodge don't you Princess Zelda." He laughed. I grinned at his cheerful face. I summoned din's fire as he jumped back. The corner of his white outfit was singed. "Did not see that coming." He laughed again. This turned out to be another fun filled match. I attacked him many times and he dodged as I did that same when he attacked. Suddenly though it seemed as if my magic failed and his blade slid across my arm cutting my glove and the skin. I yelped and winced in pain as I grabbed my arm. Well there goes another pair of gloves. I sighed heavily and charged up my magic thrusting my hands out one more time. It seemed to catch him off guard for he was sent flying of the stage and I was declared the winner. When I looked up to the stands however Ike wasn't there and neither were the two girls I saw with him. The only thing I was concerned about was who they were.

Sorry for the terrible battle scene, I didn't really know how to describe it but it looked great in my head. :/ Anyway, I'll have chapter 5 up soon!
