Chapter 16

Link sighed as both women glared daggers into him, Samus tied up, and Midna frozen to the wall. Link had remained calm throughout the exchange, and was rather exasperated at the sudden outburst on Midna's part, which was annoying to say the least. After all this time, she hasn't changed a bit. I expected better behavior on her part.

Link sighed heavily. "Okay, look. I'm not going to deal with this. You two fighting is getting us nowhere and we have better and more important things to be worrying about, yes?" He turned to Samus, bound by his hookshot. "Samus, you know as well as I that it is futile to focus on the smallest of flaws when the bigger picture holds far more important things to be concerned about. You know as well as I that there are more important things to be worrying about than fighting another woman, yes?" Samus, while irritated at being lectured like a child, felt a bit ashamed for her actions and knew Link was right. I really need to get a grip on myself.

Link turned to Midna. "And you, of all people, ought to know better! For one thing, wear something more suited for the task at hand. Samus is right, you look like a hooker, for Godess's sake! Wear something more suitable for traveling. And besides, if you really think you're going to impress me with that, you've got another thing coming. Midna, you're my closest friend, but I don't see you as a lover. You're my friend and nothing more. Jealousy isn't like you, Midna. Don't let the fact that I love Samus get to you like that, it seriously is not like you. Calm down and accept that which you can not change. And change your clothes, for fuck's sake, you look like you're preparing for a swimming party, not a mission to track a valuable object."

Midna looked livid, and then started thinking fast. Link loves Samus, hmmm...I can't help but wonder what would happen if she knew that I took Link's virginity...nah, I wouldn't stoop that low...not yet anyways...

"Well, Midna? What say you?" said Link, sounding a bit impatient.

Midna thought fast. Okay, for now, I'll just leave them alone. Just for a while, so I can actually devise a better plan. Let them think I've given up. Then I'll try again. I will teach that blonde bitch to NEVER mess with my man!

"Sometime today, please, Midna, we have work to do."

Midna, inwardly thankful that she had worked so hard on her acting, looked ashamed and said, "You're right...I apologize, Link. I should have had better control of myself."

Link frowned. THAT is definitely not like Midna. She's never been one to just accept defeat like that. She's planning something, and whatever it is, it will not be beneficial to this mission. I'd better warn Samus to stay on her guard.

He gave Samus a significant look before releasing both women. Midna rubbed her belly and winced a bit. It hadn't been pleasent being frozen to the wall like that. Samus understood Link's look and when the hook shot uncoiled, she rubbed her arms a bit tenderly. The cord in that hook shot was quite rough.

A few minutes later, Samus met Link under a pillar. "What is it Link, you look a bit troubled."

Link frowned. "Midna's acceptance of defeat bothers me. That isn't like her. She's never been one to accept defeat like that, especially from me."

Samus smiled a bit. "I take it you two had a lot of arguements during the Zant crisis?"

Link grinned ruefully. "You have no idea. She always was bitching about something, and I have to say, it annoyed the fuck outta me, cos no matter how often I pointed the flaws in her arguement, and trust me there were a lot, she never admitted she was wrong and just kept arguing her point."

Samus looked thoughtful. "So this acceptance of defeat is like, completely put of character for her."

"Exactly. It can only mean she's planning something, and given the past events of the last 24 hours, it can't be anything good at all."

Samus thought hard. So in other words, she's just acting like she's defeated and over Link so that we can assume everything is settled, just so she can form some kind of plan to break me and Link up or something. That bitch sure doesn't know how to take a hint. I would have thought it was rather blindingly obvious that Link loves me and me alone, 100%, and no other woman, no matter how beautiful, can take him from me.

Link's thoughts were similar. I don't understand why Midna can't accept, just for once, that in this, she needs to admit she's wrong. I see her as a friend and nothing more, and she should know that by now. I love Samus and Samus alone.

Out loud, Samus asked, "So what do we do?"

"Just keep on your guard," Link replied, "Midna is capable of doing some serious damage if she wants to, and trust me, with a temper like hers, there's no telling what she'll do. And considering how jealous she is at the moment, there's no telling what she's willing to do as a result. So, really, the question is not what she will do. It's what she won't do."

Samus nodded. I will most definitely keep on my guard. I will NOT let this bitch get the best of me.

Link placed his hand on Samus's shoulder. "Come, we need to meet up with Shadow when Midna's done changing."

Samus nodded and followed him back to the great hall.

Meanwhile, Midna was in a terrible and yet totally silent fit of rage. That blonde bitch! Does she seriously think she can take my Link away from me?! I don't fucking think so!

Midna stripped naked and looked at herself in the mirror, turning round and round to get a good look at every curve on her body. I know Link doesn't focus on looks, but fuck it all, he's a MAN for fuck's sake! My boobs are at LEAST four sizes bigger than hers, AND I have a bigger ass!

Midna looked down at her breasts and cupped them. It was these beauties that seduced him last time...why not now?

Midna thought hard, and grinned, an idea finally striking her thoughts.

The next time I get link alone with me, he won't be able to resist. I will get my Link back no matter what!

Little did Midna know that at that very moment, someone was listening to her thoughts.

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinteresting, the listener thought, so it seems that poor little Midna here is jealous of Link's girlfriend. Peeeeeeeeerfect. The listener smiled wickedly. Now's my chance to get back at them for humiliating me!

YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYE SYESYESYES!
