Author's note:

Ok, I am going to say a few things this chapter:
First, I was just reviewed be "XT-421" who is one of my idols on this website. If you want a really good Link x Saria fic, go on down to his fic titled; "The Curse Of Immortality", It's one of the best I've read. Now, I wasn't planning on updating now(I thought the fic was going downhill) But now, because of the uplifting words of XT, I am going to TRY to update daily! I have some writer's block right now, so this Chappy may not be that great. Also I want to warn that there is a slight higher rating for this chapter, not M, I mean If you're a teen than you can handle this level of maturity, it just has a bit of, well, sexual reference, If you've read XT's story's, It's kind of like that.

Enjoy!

Link awoke to the sound of cricket's chirping.

He lay on the ground, Saria was lying across his chest.

He liked the closeness.

He closed his eyes and drifted back to sleep.

"Impa, where could he be?"

Zelda was on the verge of tears.

"I'm sure he's fine, Zelda." The Shiekah replied.

"I hope you're right."

It was early morning.

Link awoke, and saw there was no Saria on top of him.

"S-sar...?" He managed to croak.

"Link!" Saria cried.

She rushed over and bent down next to him.

"I ne-need th- ocar-" Link abruptly stopped and groaned in pain.

"You need the Ocarina?" Link nodded, wincing in pain.

Saria quickly found her Ocarina and gave it to him.

He lifted the instrument to his lips and played a soft melody. he continued to play until a beautiful brown horse trotted up to Link and Saria.

Epona whinied affectionately at Link.

Link slowly stood up, wincing and groaning in pain.

"Wher- are th- the oth- ers?" Link asked slowly.

"Hey guys, Link's up!" Saria yelled.

Suddenly a small group of children ran towards Link, who was leaning on Epona for support.

"LINK!" Terra cried. She had always had a terrible crush on Link.

Draka walked up and shook Link's hand saying:

"Thanks. If it weren't for you, we'd all be dead."

Link nodded in response.

Rena just mumbled something from a distance and stared at the hair tie blankly.

Surnid shook Link's hand and plopped on her knees in tears.

Mido simply said;

"Big deal."

Link grinned at this and slowly mounted Epona painfully. He gestured for the other children to follow. The children followed, and Terra and Surnid laid Datic on Epona. He then yelled: "Ya!", and they galloped towards the castle

The castle guards nodded at Link as he passed. He stopped in castle town and put Epona in the stables, then continued to the castle. at the gates, Zelda ran up and tackled Link laughing. Saria had a sudden thought: Uh-oh. Who is she? I don't stand a chance against her.

Link cried in pain. Zelda looked at the bloody, bruised boy before her. She hopped up.

"Oh! Link, I'm so sorry!" She cried.

"It's o-okay."

Zelda looked at the Kokiri children and gasped.

"Who are they?" She asked, rather rudely.

"Th-the K-ko-kiri Fo-forest Was- attacked by stalfos." He managed to croak

Zelda quickly led them to the guest quarters, then walked with Link down the hall.

"What happened to you?" She asked worriedly.

"I- ne-ed to use the bath, re-relax a bit, th-then I'll tell y-you." He said.

"Okay, I'll be in my room." She kissed him on the cheek then hurried off.

Link sighed and went to the king's bathroom. Ever since link saved Hyrule he had let Link use his bathroom.

The bathroom had a giant tub in the middle, about four feet deep, and and about the size of four kokiri huts. Link looked around to make sure no one was looking and slipped off his pants. He turned on on the water spout,(Yes, they have plumbing in this fic) the tub filled with warm water and bubbles, and Link slipped in. the water stung on all his wounds, but felt good at the same time. He let his sink under for a moment, then resurfaced. Then, he heard the water move somewhere else in the bath. He looked around and
passed the noise off as a wave that carried to the side of the tub. He heard it again.

"Nice, isn't it." A voice said.

Link spun around. It was Zelda. SHe was about 3 feet from him in the water unclothed. (This is NOT leading to a lemon, or anything sick like that.)

Link's heart sped up, his mind went racing.

"Zel-How...?"

"Shhh..."

Zelda slowly started to walk towards Link, and he backed away at the same pace. Soon he had hit the wall. Zelda eased towards him. Dishonorable temptations swept into Link's mind. he quickly tried to find something to hide his certain area. Zelda was a foot away from him. He found a piece of soap floating and placed in in the area in between his legs. She moved closer, and now inches from him.

Link found sudden strength in his voice.

"Zelda! No! I wo-" Zelda rushed forward and pressed her lips against his. A tingling sensation went through Link's body. She pressed harder and he sent pressure back. Electricity sparked in the kiss. Zelda pressed her body against his. Link's heart beat sped up even more. she reached for the piece of soap. Her hand barely touched it when Link pushed her back, though his body desperately wanted to continued.

"Zelda, please, I cant." He moaned.

"I...I...I'm sorry!" She quickly climbed out of the tub, Link shielded his eyes as she did. She ran out in a towel. link just sighed and climbed out himself.

Okay, this was a sort of, romantic chapter, If you couldn't handle THAT level of maturity, then don't read. I have to admit that was a LITTLE intense, but not to much for a teen.

More update soon...
