"What?" His look turned stern.
"What you just said. It isn't the first time you have said those words to me." I didn't quite understand, but I felt that it was true. Dark's expression, well, darkened.
"I was hoping you would have forgotten. It has been lifetimes, but no, you just had to remember." The frustration came out riddled with anger.
"Dark, what do you mean?" I didn't remember anything, but Link started to laugh.
"Did you pray to the Goddesses for me to forget! She was mine first!" At that statement, Dark flinched.
"Dark, you should know that it couldn't happen. You can't be with a being of light." Dark's hands clenched and unclenched. I knew his temper would give out soon.
"D-dark. What are you guys talking about?" I felt out of the loop and seeing the hatred for each other in their eyes wasn't helping.
"Well you see Sheik. Dark is a shadow. My shadow in fact. The goddesses gave him mercy for letting me kill him in the past. They reincarnated him as my twin brother this time around. Funny how we look alike no matter what lifetime we are in." Dark was kneeling on the floor, hands on his head.
"You, Sheik, are a creation of Zelda. You see, in a past life, Zelda needed a disguise to hide from Ganondorf, the King of Thieves, or as you know from legend, the King of Evil. The transformation into the disguise was great because of Zelda's Triforce piece." Link gestured to me.
"The disguise grew a soul and feelings. Once Zelda shed the disguise she pushed the soul out and it became it's own person. You." Dark got up and jumped at Link, but he dodged.
"Don't you see. My past self was the reason you grew feelings. We had fallen in love. I looked for you everywhere, but died before I found you. This life is a second chance. For us." I wasn't quite sure how to take all this in.
"What about Dark? You said he was your s-shadow. Why does he love me?" I looked at Dark, now on the ground, once again holding his head.
"That is simple. He is my shadow and therefore he will love anything that I love." Dark turned to me and the look of despair and fear struck me. I couldn't hold back and I ran to him.
"I-I don't care." The two boys looked at me surprised, as I reached down and touched Dark's face. Now that I was closer I could see the tears in his eyes and the trails that previous ones had left. I leaned in and kissed Dark's cheek then proceeded to bring my lips to his.
"By the Three, Sheik! You aren't suppose to love my shadow!" Link was mad, simple as that. I kissed Dark on the forehead and got up, helping Dark up as well. My own anger at Link brought something out that I didn't know I had.
"Hero." The nickname brought joy to Link's eyes but only for a moment as he realized the emotion behind it. I felt memories come back to me.
