Wow, that was crazy... KATZUNITED I think you jinxed me... Wasn't it you who said I was updating a lot? Well, soon after you said that, my computer broke! So I blame you!

Jk!

It was my fault~

Thanks to ... Wow... Two people! Dark Link (I'm sorry, but scary Kai might be staying for a while) and KATZUNITED! (I was just joking about you breaking my computer! xD)

Vii jumped off her now half dead wolf and landed gracefully on her feet. She gave Xxeon a quick pat on his furry head. "Thanks boy, go rest for a few minutes while I convince Mr. Superior to come with us."

Xxeon gave his master a look that said 'good luck with that' and trotted off to the nearest resting place, wagging his tail like a puppy.

"Yeah, yeah mutt... I hear you." Vii gave her clothes a quick brush to rid herself of any unnecessary dead leaves that may have caught onto her, and then briskly walked up to the small wooden shack, giving the door a few good taps.

Before her third knock hit, the door flew open, revealing her slightly startled looking healer.

Vii was about to burst out yelling about the poor injured Ryuk back in the village, when she noticed he was covered in blood. "Er... What happen to you Zeon? Village massacre?" She had only meant it as a joke, but his darkened expression told her that her comment was anything but funny.

"Something like that wolf girl." Zeon waved her into the shack and closed the door behind them. He raised his left hand in front of the door and whispered a few incoherent words, and a barrier shimmered across the door.

"So are you going to tell me what happened?" Vii took a seat on the nearest floor cushion and began fiddling with a strand of her hair.

Zeon shrugged and started undressing, his white tunic was badly stained, and probably ruined. "I might, but an animal like you might get a kick out of it."

Vii looked up at him and noticed for the first time that he was almost naked, she shrieked and spun around so she was looking anywhere but in his direction. "You men! You think you could warn a lady before you strip!" Her eyes caught sight of a foreboding looking sword leaning against the wall, it was wrapped in Zeon's white cloak which was almost as badly stained as his tunic.

"Where did you get the sword?" She reached out to touch it, but Zeon quickly grabbed a hold of her arm and pulled her away.

"If you want to keep your soul, don't touch that blade." He glared at the sword like he was afraid it would jump up and eat them.

"Well aren't you all happiness and sunshine?" She turned to stare at him now that he was dressed, he looked spooked. "Come on, tell me what happened!" She patted the arm that was still gripping her, and then she remembered what she was there for.

"Shit! Ryuk!" She threw her arms up into the air and then hit herself on the head.

Zeon shook his head. "Well, while you try to kill yourself, I shall make my morning tea, I'm extremely tired."

Vii tackled him and started dragging him toward the door. "Come on! You have to heal someone for me! He's this crazy dead guy who's not a vampire, but close enough, and he's from this land across the ocean, it's called Hyrule, and I thought since you're a celestial elf, you might be able to help him, because your kind DO specialize in healing."

Much to Vii's dislike, Zeon picked her up and flung her over his shoulder. "Will you stop and wait for a few seconds, dear Havox." As soon as Vii calmed down, he placed her back on her feet. "I fought with Lore."

Vii's expression was comically confused. "Fight as in... Bitch slap fight? Or fight as in magic fight?"

Zeon flicked her forehead. "Obviously the second one wolf girl." He left her there while he gathered up some herbs and potions. "How injured is this Ryuk friend of yours?"

Vii took the bundle of supplies out of his arms so that he could pack up the evil sword. "Well you know, both his arms are useless charcoaled lumps of flesh, and not to mention he got run threw by a sword." She opened the door, the barrier broke, and both of them were left with an urgency to get the hell out of there. He fought Lore! She could still be hanging around here...

Zeon pushed her out the door and closed it behind them. "We should leave, your friend needs me and the rebel camp that got attacked last night was close by, I was watching over them." He whistled quietly and shifted the heavy sword in his arms.

"Was watching over them? So they're all dead now?" Vii hushed her wolf as a giant white elk strode timidly out of the forest and stopped in front of them.

"Yeah, they were attacked by some creature that sounds kind of like your friend. I only managed to save one boy, I dropped him off at the other nearby rebel camp so they could watch him." Zeon quickly saddled the elk and tied the sword securely to it. Vii handed him his bundle of healing stuffs and he tied them on too. "Lore's not too please though, I managed to put the creature under a spell, he was being controlled by her."

"I wonder if that's the guy that Link and Kai are looking for...?" Vii helped Zeon up into the saddle. "I mean, well if you put two and two together, it is, but..."

"Well I believe putting two and two together is hard for you, so you might want to let me piece it together."

"Oh shut up pretty boy... You look alt like Link.... Xxeon, come boy!"

Xxeon looked up and yawned at her, then reluctantly stood and trotted over allowing Vii to jump on his back.

"Link? I've never heard of him, come, let us be swift."

When Link opened his eyes it was dark out, as expected he had slept all day, that meant that Vii would be back any time. He was afraid to look over and see Ryuk dead, but then he realized that Ryuk was already dead and it really screwed up his his train of thought. I miss Kai...

He would never admit that out loud because Kai would never let him hear the end of it, but he really did miss waking up to a cute smile and half asleep sloppy kisses. He sighed and rolled over, forgetting he was laying on a single sized bed, and fell to the floor with a colossal thump. "Damn..."

"Nice going there princess, I guess not much has changed with your klutziness." Kai formed on top of him and pinned him to the floor. "I just wish you were still completely scared of me, it was so fun to torture you."

Link said nothing, instead he stared at the warped shadow flatly.

Above them, Ryuk whimpered in pain.

Kai mumbled out something that sounded slightly threatening and pouted. "You should have left the kid to die, now he's gonna be all fucked up for the rest of his life... Or.. None life..."

"Kai I'm not going to let Ryuk die, it would kill Shygen, even if the emotionless idiot wont admit it." Link wriggled his arms out of Kai's grasp and pushed the shadow off, and then using his awesome hero powers, reversed their positions and pinned him.

"I didn't get my morning kiss yet Kai." Maybe if I treat him like everything is back to normal, the old Kai will resurface.

"Kiss? What the hell hero? I thought you liked girls..."

Link shrugged in response, and then leaned down and gently brushed their lips together.

Kai wasn't at all upset over his current situation, except for the fact that he was on bottom, but he shooed all negative thoughts out of his mind and focused on tongue raping his hero.

Link almost yelped when Kai wrapped his legs around his waist and deepened the kiss. This is so not what I wanted to happen! But he decided to go along with it as long as the shadow didn't try anything too intense.

"I take it the shadow is back to normal then?"

Both men never heard Vii stomp down the hall, which was the whole point of the stomping, so that she could warn them to stop whatever they were doing to save poor Zeon's eyes, but her plan obviously didn't work.

She pushed the slightly stunned Zeon in the small room. "Ok, Zeon, meet Link and Kai. Kai is the one on bottom, and Link is the one on top, Ryuk's over on the bed by the window."

Zeon bowed to both of them. "Well met, I think." He walked over to the small table and placed the sword down gently.

Link flew over and picked it up before Zeon could even think of stopping him.

"Sulken! Where's your wielder!" Link shook the sword wildly.

Zeon was about to have a heart attack. "Put it down! It will posses you-"

The triforce on Link's hand lit up and a bright light surrounded the blade, it pulsed briefly and then fell silent.

Zeon blinked. "Where did the evil aura go?" He looked at Vii who was jumping up and down.

"See! I told you he can use really powerful magic!" She patted Link's shoulder. "We'll explain everything once we heal Ryuk, until then, sit down and shut up."

Kai didn't bother saying anything, instead he dragged Link over to the other bed and forced the hero to sit on his lap.

Zeon inched over to Ryuk's bed, avoiding Kai's grumpy aura and placed a hand on Ryuk's forehead. "This is the same creature that I put under my spell." He slid his hand down and lifted up Ryuk's right arm slowly, his face scrunched up in disgust. "I don't know if I'll be able to heal this wolf girl, he's burnt down to the bone."

Vii pulled a chair over to the bed and sat down. "Well luckily for us, he's dead, so bacteria wont bother giving him an infection."

"True, but since he's dead, his cells wont be able to reproduce and heal his charred flesh, vampire's solve that problem by drinking the blood of the living, but what do these creatures do? It must be dangerous for them to get injured." Zeon placed the injured arm back down and held his hands above Ryuk's body, then he used his fingers to make strange hand signs and mumble out a spell.

A pink flame rippled down from his hand and licked at Ryuk's finger tips, once they were swallowed by the flame, it moved up his arms, pausing longer on the more seriously burned areas. Then once it was done the arms, Zeon guided the flames to his chest where they healed the sword wound.

Zeon dispersed the flame and wiped the sweat from his brow. "The worst of the burns are gone, but it will still be tender, I'll put some herbs on it to ease the pain."

While he set about doing that, Vii left the room to fetch her wolf, leaving all the men in an awkward silence.

Link decided to be the bearer of mercy, he stood (with no help from Kai who was trying to keep him pinned on his lap) and took a seat in Vii's unoccupied chair. "So where's Shigen?" His question came out a little angrier then he intended and he quickly muttered an apology.

"It's okay, I can see you're only worried for your friend." Zeon didn't want to tell them about the horrific scene he had seen said friend committing, so he stuck to he basics. "Shigen was acting quiet violent you see, and so I had to put him under a sleeping spell, I was about to bring him home to watch over him, but Lore showed up and I was forced to leave him behind."

He wasn't actually 'forced' to leave the creature behind, but Lore went berserk when he tried to escape with him, so she chased him down until she cornered him and knocked him out with a spell, she left with Shigen and didn't bother to finish him off.

Kai didn't believe any of it, he faded into the shadows cackling out, "chicken shit!" before he was gone.

"We have to find Lore's castle then, we still have to save Shigen." Link was up for another quest, it was what he was born to do, but the whole idea of roaming round in a strange and unfamiliar land kind of scared him. "Where's her castle again?"

Zeon shook his head in disbelief, but then he remembered where they were from. "Um, you really aren't from these lands are you?"

Link shook his head 'no' confirming Zeon's question.

"Well, Lore dwells in a place called the Daedlands, it's about a two week trip on horseback, and once you reach the boarder, you have to go by foot to reach the castle. The place is basically one giant bog, it used to be a gave site, but Lore revived all the people and the earth filled with evil. Whenever it rained, the rain wouldn't enter the soil, so it just formed puddles, and latter on, bogs."

Zeon went over to his supplies and took out his medicines, he also grabbed his map and handed it to Link so he could see where exactly he was, he pointed to the western part of the map. "This is where we are. It's called Ulstravia, the land of the elves, but humans have villages all along the sea shores, the elves live deeper in the forests."

He moved his finger up to the North Western part of the map. "This is Daedlands. Lore's castle is rumored to be somewhere in the middle, but no one knows for sure since she keeps it under an invisibility barrier."

Link nodded, Kai appeared behind him.

"So princess! Are we going to go kick some ass? I'm getting bored sitting around in this stupid human village!" Kai gave Zeon a scary glare. "And you're a poser, I just thought I'd tell you that."

Zeon ignored him and began rubbing his potions onto Ryuk's arms.

"Who's a poser?" Asked Vii who just entered the room riding on top of her wolf. "You mean Zeon?"

"Yes! Who else would I be talking about?! The guy is trying too hard..." Kai reached out and grabbed onto Zeon's blond hair, almost pulling the poor guy off the bed.

Zeon removed Kai's hand from his hair and pouted. "I don't know what you're talking about..." He finished up with wrapping Ryuk's arms up, and stood trying to move away from the danger zone.

Link's eyes grew wide when he realized what they were saying. "You look like me!" He tackled Zeon to the floor and started poking and prodding him.

Kai face palmed. "Don't tell me you just noticed that hero..."

Link laughed nervously, "uhh... yeah, well he doesn't look exactly like me." He pointed to Zeon's hair, "his hair is lighter then mine." Then he jabbed a finger into Zeon's face who flinched. "And his eyes are a really pretty green color, not to mention he looks a lot more like a girl then I do."

"Hey!" Zeon really didn't like it when people pointed out his girlish features. "I don't look like a girl, okay?"

"Yeah right, and pigs fly." Kai picked Link up off of Zeon and carried him to the bed again. "My princess!" He nibbled Link's ear and gave them all a look, daring them to object to his claim.

"No one... cares... Stupid shadow..."

All of them looked over to the bed where Ryuk was laying, the teen's eyes were half open, he looked a little better, but his voice sounded weak. "I'm.... hungry..."

Link flinched inwardly, He needs to eat.... he needs human flesh. But he was pretty sure that humans were off limits in this land. "Ryuk, will animal meat work for now?"

Ryuk nodded slowly, and Link stood up (much to Kai's disappointment, again) "I'll be back soon then, stay awake." He left the room, and Vii followed after him knowing that the hero would get lost.

Lore let out an animalistic scream and threw another one of her glass ornaments a cross the room.

"I have tried everything!" She picked up a chair and threw that too. "I've tried every spell in the book!" This time a spell book went flying. "Nothing works! That stupid elf! I should have killed him!"

She literally flew over to the bed where Shigen was sleeping peacefully and stroked his cheek softly. "My poor prince, you were having so much fun!" She continued to pet him for a few more seconds before she grew angry again.

"Seker! Come here!"

A tall man entered the room and bowed. "Yes my lady."

Lore sauntered over and stopped in front of him. "They call you Seker Astray, the greatest assassin in the land, you are able to find anyone, correct?"

Seker bowed again, "yes my lady, I give my word, I will find anyone you want."

She nodded in approval and reached down to stroke his sliver hair. "Good, good. I want you to find Zeon Acardalen and bring him to me, alive."

"Yes my lady." Seker backed out of the room and closed the door, leaving the room in darkness once again.

With a cry, Lore ran back over to the bed and flung herself on Shigen. "My prince! How I miss you so!" She kissed him and buried her hands into his hair.

"I wish you were awake so you could hold me in your arms." She tilted his head and kissed down the side of his neck.

Shigen slept on, unaware that he was being molested by a crazy woman.

After Ryuk finished gulping down the last piece of meat, he started to look a bit better. Animal meat didn't work too well, he would eventually need to eat a human, but it would do for now.

"That was truly disgusting..." Zeon had to fan himself before he passed out.

Vii was latched onto Ryuk's arm (gently) smiling like an idiot. "I think Haniam are fascinating!" She cooed at Ryuk who stared back at her blankly.

"Yeah, it's cool, whatever! Can we start moving now?" Kai was waving his sword around dangerously, making them all a bit nervous.

"If Ryuk thinks he's up to riding." Link said, ruffling the hair of the young Haniam.

"I'm never up to riding that sorry excuse of transportation..." Ryuk swatted Link's hand away and detached himself from Vii. "I'm going to try standing."

They all held their breath as Ryuk lifted himself off the bed, hissing as the pain shot up his arms.

"Don't use your arms!" Zeon was beside him in seconds, helping him to his feet.

Ryuk stood there wobbling for a few seconds, then quickly made his way over to the door and left.

Link grabbed Ryuk's new cloak off the back of a chair, "Ryuk will need this, it will be light soon." He too left the room.

The others gathered up their items, and Kai belted Sulken to his back. "I guess that means it's time to leave!" He dragged Zeon out of the room who yelped and almost dropped all his stuff.

Kai had found some one new to torture.

Vii was the last to leave, she jumped onto her wolf giggling. "I can't wait! This adventures going to be fun!"

Outside she could hear the voices of Zeon and Kai who were fighting Link who was trying to break them up.

Xxeon shook his head, wishing that his master would tell him to run as far away as possible, but instead she told him to go to the guys and see what they were fighting about.

Well, the adventure would be interesting at least.

Please forgive Zeon for being mean to Shi-chan! He really didn't mean it, and Zeon is one of my favorite oc's... So please come to love him like I do! -whimpered-

You don't have to, but he'll be in this fanfic for a loooooooong time, so you might as well get used to him.

It took me a week to write this... I had writers block... badly...

And about the map! I'm going to put it on my Deviant, but the names will be a bit different, you'll get the drift though...

And I think I might draw some chibi's of my characters...

After of course, I finish all the school work I missed for being out a full week with the swine flu... Yeah... It sucked...

Until next time my friends!
