The Long Awaited Explanation

3rd Person POV

Link was panting trying not pass out by this point do to just how rough Kou ended up being with him. Meanwhile she was licking her lips sitting cross legged,completely nude, looking perfectly content with her meal. She ended up going for about 6 hours this time just to take it 'easy on his small mortal heart'.

"Next time you collect four spirit orbs maybe you should invest in more stamina, ne?" She said with a closed eye smile while sitting his head on her lap running her fingers through his long hair which had come undone about 30 minutes into it.

"We could've been in Kakariko by now." He replied with barely disguised annoyance over the fact that they wasted six hours and ignoring the thought of how sore he'd be in a few hours let alone the next day.

"Look, I'm sorry okay," She looked down into his eyes speaking genuinely, which automatically made him feel bad about his previous thoughts about the situation, "I don't like being in the way of your great journey, but I can't help the way I am." she began getting more passionate by the second and now had his face pressed into her bare chest and was speaking fiercely.

"I promise to try not to be such a hindrance to you anymore!" She finished with more sparkles around her. How does she do that anyway?

He was quietly thinking about that until she leaned in close with a sultry look in her eyes before saying quietly, "But if I tell you to fuck me, you better do it or I'll get upset, ne?" which made him admittedly pretty nervous. This she demon switched personalities like night and day so fast it almost gave him whiplash.

"Please, what'd I say about saying things like that?" He spoke from her chest where he was still being coddled. He knows he's much shorter than her but this is kinda ridiculous.

"I can't help it, Link. I just don't want you get upset and leave me for someone else much prettier than me. Well maybe not prettier as I'm probably the most beautiful creature in this land, but maybe you'll just leave me anyway I don't know!" And there she went crying again. Let's just skip ahead to when they're back on their way shall we?

Timeskip

When they'd finally left the abandoned cabin Kou had barged into they were nearly at Kakariko by nightfall, which was only a few hours, and had made it at about 10. Much to Kou's delight they had fireflies among the trees and pretty sakura trees. As much as he'd like to deny it, link did laugh a bit as he watched her try to catch fireflies and touch the sakura petals in the water surrounding the goddess statue.

The first thing link himself did was but new clothes as his worn T Shirt and hylian trousers were quite sad looking so he bought his hylian travelers outfit which Kou wasn't too fond of as it covered his "fantastic V line" but was also kind of happy because now no one else could see it.

When Link went to visit Impa, Kou insisted she wait outside because she didn't want to look at Impa and have to talk to her,

"Link I don't wanna go in there and listen to someone tell you how disgusting of a creature I am with me standing right there, okay?" She explained heatedly.

I the end link just couldn't get her to go, so he went up the stairs to Impas house while Kou walked around the village getting suspicious stares from the locals due to her immodest outfit and not so human appearance. Eventually the local children got curious and let their curiosity get the best of them.

"Hey miss!" small girl with white hair, a common trait here, called out while the other children all stood behind a nearby building, watching from around the corner.

"Yes, child?" Kou put on her official voice that she'd been trained her whole life to use when she was still "Downstairs".

"What are you? I don't think I've ever seen somebody with horns or a tail before. Plus you're not wearing a lot of clothes considering how cold it gets around here so you must not be human right? I'm right aren't i?" The girl said in one big breath rushed out like she had to ask them all at once as if she'd run out of time.

Kou threw her head back and laughed with one beautiful gloved hand on her cheek and her eyes closed with the wind gently blowing her ponytail and two long front pieces of hair on the sides of her head as bangs gently swayed in the wind. She looked so beautiful in that instant that all the children watching forgot about their nervousness and all stepped closer, as if in a trance.

"Young girl you would be right in your assumptions. I'm not human. However just because I am not, doesn't make me dangerous, understand? I am a demon." She said as she knelt down to speak to all the children, and still had a beautiful warm smile on her face.

That was when a young boy ran up and yelled, "Miss, will you marry me!?" soon followed many other chants of "No, me miss!" and "I saw her first!" until it got to the point where Kou actually had to step in to settle them down.

"Boys please, don't fight. I'm afraid I'm far too young to be getting married at the moment, however I'll keep all your offers in mind." She said showing them that smile again.

"How old are you then?" one of the girls asked

"I'll be 1,515 this year." and she winked " So, tell me, what do children do in a village such as this?" she asked while sitting down on her knees and began to listen as they explained all the stuff to do in the village. It ranged from cooking, to helping out around the village, and most often playing games, which led to her being 'It' in a game of tag.

That was how link found her, with her bent down looking under a house near the edge of the village. To give the kids a chance she decided not to use her abilities, which allowed Link to sneak up on her. She was still on her knees when she turned around and saw him there looking at her amused. She screamed a small bit before realizing who it was and wrapped her arms around his waist hugging him and rubbing her face against his stomach.

"Link! Oh I missed you so much! How did it go did you get the answers you wanted? I hope so otherwise this was just a big waste of time. Not that it's a big deal to me I'll probably live a long time, but I want to live a long time with you. Anyway I met all the kids and they were super sweet! I even got a few marriage proposals from them, pretty cute huh?..." And she just continued on like that talking while he just looked down at her thinking. Did she really like him that much already? Did she really miss him that much or was she just saying that to get in his pants later? How much did he like her then? Wait… she said something about a marriage proposal right? From who? Why?

"Who proposed?" Was all he ended up saying cutting her off about some food a young girl, KoKo was it?, had made for her to try.

"Figures that'd be all you heard. You know the least you could do is that you missed me too, or how are you, or an 'I love you'." She said completely ignoring him. Wait? I love you?

"W-why would I say that?" He got out beginning to feel his face heat up and had to look away.

"Because I love you, silly." She said with closed eyed smile that was just too cute for a practically nude demon to be wearing.

"Don't say things you don't mean!" He finally couldn't keep his composure anymore. All that knights training and he's coming undone because of a she demon who'd nearly killed him due to too much sex twice now.

"Of course I mean it! Why else would I have said it?" She asked looking genuinely confused while standing up, but figured he'd explain himself later. "Whatever, anyway what'd you find out from that old fossil?"

"Well there's four divine beasts who were taken over by Ganon 100 years ago, so I need to go to wherever they are and destroy the blight from within them so they can aid me in my fight against Ganon." He explained shortly. Of course there was more to it than that but he'd already heard it all from the old man.

"Wait that's it? It took hours to talk about that? C'mon there must've been something else right?" she questioned kind of amazed how someone could stretch such a short story into more than a few hours.

"Well she also told me about my memories and how I need to get them all back so I can save princess Zelda." He explained trying to keep the Zelda part quietly feeling that she wouldn't to hear that part very much. And he was right.

"Excuse me?" She said in a tone that made him wonder if she was the same person he was just talking to, "You're going to get your memories to save the same princess that killed the other champions and nearly killed you as well?" That was when he began to regret telling her that part back after they first started travelling here.

"Look it wasn't like that at all-"

"How would you know? You don't remember. Link you lost so bad because of her you had to sleep for 100 years to be okay. And you just jump back into it like it's nothing?"

"Why do you care?" he looked in her eyes which threw her. "We just met a week ago and you're trying to tell me what I can and cannot do to save not only Zelda but the rest of this land?" He had a point, and she hated that. She was beginning to have flashbacks to her brothers and how they also did what they wanted, said what they pleased, and completely disregarded her and looked down on her. Except for Gou. No, never Gou.

After a moment of silence she spoke, "Do what you please then," she eventually gave in and looked at the ground, "and I will follow quietly." She then turned around, picked up her katana, and began walking up the mountain towards the orange shrine.

Link sighed watching her walk away feeling a bit guilty but then feeling foolish for feeling guilty. How could she say that about Zelda? The one keeping them all alive right at this very moment inside the castle? No, he couldn't afford to feel bad right now. That still didn't stop that nagging thought in his head that felt like she hadn't really been looking at him a minute ago...but someone else entirely.
