Title: 'Slipped Away'

Couple: Samus x Ganondorf…slightly one-sided.

Summary: Ganondorf always liked getting what he wanted. But there's one certain bounty hunter that's still far from his grasp…

Dedication To: x Flame of Ice x by request.

BAM.

Kirby yelps as her blaster connects with his face, and he's sent flying, soon being K.O.ed just as the time runs out.

"TIME!"

The crowd all around her erupts into cheers as she's declared the winner, and she grins, placing one hand on her hip and her blaster in the air as she does her taunt. Then she walks off the arena after being congratulated by Master Hand, heading towards her room to take a shower and change back into her normal clothes, and just relax.

His eyes follow her, and he smirks, deciding to go and 'congratulate' her. So he gets up from his seat and slowly slinks off to follow her; he ignores his friend's, Captain Falcon, question of, "Where the hell are you going, Ganondorf?" and goes after her.

He finds her just walking down the hall, and he becomes quiet, the same, dark, sly smirk on his lips. Then he stops once she does, and doesn't even flinch when she whirls around, pointing her blaster at him.

"Oh it's you," she says, not sounding very caring, and she doesn't lower her blaster. He sees her pretty green eyes narrow into a glare inside her helmet, and hears her tone become icy and suspicious. "What do you want, Ganondork?"

He raises his hands in defense. "Just want to congratulate you on your victory against the annoying pink puffball," he says, and allows his smirk to go into his famous evil grin. "I always wanted to do that to him, but sadly I wasn't picked for the melee. You were, and you gave him a pretty good punch. Congrats."

She raises an eyebrow. "Thanks…I guess." She gives him a wry look. "Although I'm surprised somebody like you would watch my match. What gives?"

He takes a step closer to her, and notices that she flinches in reflex; he chuckles, and reaches out to her. "Is it so horrible that a fellow Smasher simply wants to say congrats to the victor?" he asks, trying to sound innocent, but failing miserably since there's nothing innocent about him.

She takes one step back, and starts glaring again. "Don't try to sound like you're just asking a simple question, Ganondorf. I'm not some stupid little girl who takes that kind of crap."

You certainly aren't, he thinks. That's why you intrigue me.

He opens his mouth to reply, but another voice butts in; his eyes dart to the side and sees the blue-haired prince walking towards them. A scowl appears on his face.

Damn. Not the girly man…

"Hey Sam-chan, are you…" he trails off at seeing Ganondorf, and frowns slightly. "Did I, er…come at a wrong time?"

Yes, yes you did, you stupid weakling, was what he wants to say, wants to snap at him, but she interrupts, and quickly rushes towards him, shaking her head.

"No, you didn't," she says, standing close beside him. "Ganondorf was just congratulating me, and I think he's finished." She looks at him. "Right?"

He scowls darkly, and doesn't reply. He sees the blue-haired prince frown a bit more, but he turns to her, and smiles softly.

"I came to get you," he says. "Zelda and Peach said that you're all going somewhere together, but that's all they told me, and-"

She snaps her fingers. "Oh shoot! I forgot that I was supposed to go to the mall with them!" she cries, and sighs. "Might as well go off and get cleaned up before the torture starts…tell 'em I'll be down soon."

The prince nods, and she rushes off towards her room. Leaving both him and the prince alone in the hallway.

However, the prince seems curious, and gives him a slightly dark look.

"Were you just congratulating her, Ganondorf?" he asks.

He scoffs, and turns around. "Of course," he replies, and grins bitterly, "but why I do it is none of your business, girly-boy."

And he walks off, knowing that he hit a sore spot, and feels triumph swell up inside him. But it soon dies once he's far away from them, and he kicks Jigglypuff out of his way in frustration.

He always got what he wanted, and this time he wanted Samus Aran.

But he couldn't get her.

She's already taken.

She's slipped away from him.
