Saria awoke.

It was morning.

She looked over at Link, he was still sleeping. She had sleep on the floor, but she didn't mind.

Saria got up and went to the shop for some potion. Once she arrived, she bought some potion with some rupees she'd been saving for a new tunic, but her friend was more important than a tunic.

Back at her house, she next to Link on the bed, rolled up his undershirt sleeve to his shoulder, and the wound sickened her.

How does he bear such pain?

Suddenly she found herself feeling his muscles. They were so big, she knew Link was strong, but had never imagined him this strong. She brushed her hand through his hair, it had blood and dirt all in it. She wanted to kiss him. She found her lips move closer to his, he was still asleep, her face was inches from his, she wasn't even thinking... an inch apart...

No! What am I doing?!

She pulled away.

I can't! He's my-

Yes you can!

No! Kokiri can't feel this way!

Saria was having a battle within herself.

She walked to the sacred Grove, she couldn't be around Link anymore.


Now Zelda was frantic.

"Impa, where could he be!?" She asked hystericaly.

"I'm sure he's fine. He can take care of himself." Impa replied calmly.

"But he's never been gone all night, at least to my knowledge!"

"Zelda, we're talking about Link, not some other kid, you know more about what Link's been through than me, and do you honestly think Link would let anything happen to himself?"

"No." she said quietly.

"See? I'm sure he'll be back soon."

"I hope you're right."


Link woke up.

He saw a bottle of potion on the bedside table, he rubbed it on his wound.

He looked around. Saria's house hadn't changed much, it had a small kettle for cooking on the wall opposite of Link, a little table in the middle of the room, and a window in the wall in front of Link.

Link was dirty, and it looked like nobody was out yet, so Link made his way over to the pond, slipped his clothes off and got in.

--

Saria walked out of the woods, and made her way over to the shop for breakfast. ( If you didn't know this, the pond is next to the shop.)

On her way she noticed somebody in the pond, she made her way over rand nearly fainted.

Link was standing below the waterfall, totally naked. There were lots of bubbles under the waterfall, so she saw from his head, to right above his Area. He was Using his good hand to rinse the shoulder wound when he noticed her. He blushed and looked down, seeing the bubbles he sighed with relief.

Oh... his chest, his muscalar body, his... Saria slapped herself mentally.

Link must have noticed her staring.

"What? Can't a guy bathe himself in peace?" He grinned.

Saria blushed so much she was like a radish.

"Did you do that much when you were on your journeys?" She asked playfully.

"Nah, I didn't even have time to bath. It gets kinda hard to when a maniac's trying to rule Hyrule." He replied as he sunk lower in the water, making sure nothing was seen.

"Oh well, I'm gonna get some breakfast, you should probably get out before all the Kokiri girls start cooing over you." She joked.

--

After breakfast, Link packed up his things.

"I hate to say it, but Zelda will probably fire all the guards at the castle if I don't get back."

"Will come visit again?" She asked hopefully.

"I Sure will, as soon as I can. Remember, you can play that song and talk to me."

Link walked out of her house and said goodbye to all the Kokiri.

At the exit if the forest, Link waved.

"I'll come back soon!" He yelled, and he played the minuet of the forest.

His dissapeared in a flash of light.
