Caramel: Hey everyone!~ Well, I changed the title for now so I do not own SAO or Legend of Zelda.


Our Memories Chapter 3 – Forgotten Memories

Suguha was running Kirito as they ran and ran as she finally reached a forest. 'I guess this will be fine.. I could just fish for food and create a fire with some wood.. And maybe use leaves for a pillow.. I guess that might work.' Suguha thought. "Susanna, we better find a place soon or they'll catch us.." Kazuto said as Suguha nodded or should I say Susanna. [A/N: If you're confused of why Kazuto called Suguha, Susanna instead of her actual name because they are their counterparts in Hyrule or Legend of Zelda also they're Hylians and the setting is placed in Ordon Village or Forest. I will start calling her Susanna instead to avoid confusion of her counterpart in the real world.]

"I need you to go get some food for us while I prepare the fire." Kazuto ordered as Susanna nodded and walked off to get some food. As she was picking berries she felt something behind her as she gasped and turned around. But then no one was there at all… She felt something again and turned around as she trembled in fear and grabbed her shinai behind her as she looked around with her dark-gray eyes as they widen and felt something behind her as a hand covered her mouth. She tried to scream as she smelled something with her sensitive nose, that smell smelled familiar.. It was, sleeping gas! Susanna tried to kick the man as she fainted while they took her somewhere. As Link heard Susanna, he decided to follow them and to try to save her from them.

A few minutes later..

Susanna woke up and let her eyes closed to hear the two men's conversation.

"Do you really think she'll be worth money boss..?"

A person started to laugh. "Of course! She does got a pretty face!" Susanna felt disgusted by the two men as they both laughed.

"Now all we need to do is sell her to some pervert that'll make her a slave." The man grinned.

Susanna's eyes widen as she tried to scream and escape. As the man heard her and kicked her stomach, very hard. Susanna groaned in pain and she coughed up some blood.

"Very good.. Now I'll be back in a few minutes and don't you dare let her escape."

"Yes sir." The man grabbed her chin and Susanna kicked him in the shin and scoffed. "Why you little-" The man was about to punch her as someone knocked on the door. The man dropped Susanna as she angrily opened the door. "What the hell do you want brat?!" At the door was a boy with dirty-blonde hair wearing Ordon clothes and a scarf but actually behind him was a knife that he held behind his back, tightly.

"I got lost.." the boy said as the man twitched. "I have no time for this you little brat!" The man tried to punch him in the face as Link had stabbed the knife onto his stomach. The man groaned in pain as he coughed blood and fell down. Link then walked up to Susanna. "W-what are you doing here…?" Susanna asked. "Well, I heard your screams and decided to follow you." Link says as he scratched the back of his neck as he cut off the ropes that tied her arms together and released the handkerchief that they used to gag her. "There were two.." Susanna mumbled softly as Link heard the door open as he looked and saw the man's boss. The boss looked shocked to see that his worker got killed by a patethic child or so he thought.. The boss looked at Link angrily as he pushed him with force while Link fell down causing his knife to slide far away from his current location. As the boss grabbed Link by the collar of this shirt and threatened to kill him as Susanna trembled in fear of killing someone. "Fight! If you don't, you'll never succeed!" Link yelled to her as he was being choked by the boss. 'He's right.. I'll never succeed like this..' Susanna thought as she grabbed the knife and went onto her fighting stance. As she dashed towards the boss and stabbed him right on the side of his stomach as his blood bled onto the wooden floor and coughed blood as he fell onto the floor.

Link fell onto the ground as he quickly got up and walked over to Susanna. "Are you okay…?" Link asks as Susanna nodded. "I'm cold…" Link took off his scarf and wrapped it around Susanna's neck to keep her warm. Link smiled at her and said. "Warmer now, isn't it?" Susanna smiled at him as well as she started to get dizzy as she fainted onto the floor.

The Next Day…

Susanna woke up to a sound of birds chirping with a lovely and peaceful tune. Susanna turned around and found herself in a house. "W-where am I..?" The dark-haired girl asked as she walked around. "H-Hello..?" And opened the door. As she saw a dirty-blonde boy wearing his simple Ordon clothes right outside. "I see you're awake.." Link smiled at her as Susanna was a little freaked out and blushed and came down the stairs of the house.

"W-Where am I..?" Susanna was a bit scared as she asked. Link and tried to calm her down by saying something. "You're in Ordon Village." Susanna calmed down a bit and asked. "O-Ordon Village..?" Link raised an eyebrow at her as he asked. "You're not from here, aren't you..?" Susanna nodded as she tilted her head in confusion. Link sighed and smiled at her. "Well.. I'm Link. You…?" Suguha was a bit nervous and told him. "I-I'm Susanna.."

"Well, do you know how you got here..?" Susanna shook her head as a response for his question. Link's face was in a thinking expression as he smiled at her. "Well then.. Welcome to Ordon Village!" Susanna had a warm smile on her face she giggled and took Link's hand as he smiled at her.

Meanwhile…

Link was walking with Susanna in a deep and dark forest when suddenly..

Susanna heard a rustling sound. "L-Link.. I think I can hear something.." Susanna was a bit scared as she held on tightly to Link's arm. The two children both looked around finding the one who was watching them as a Scavenger Toad tried to attack them as Link slashed it easily with his sword. As more of the toads came the more busy Link became unable to help Susanna fight against them.

"Susanna! Are you alright?!" Link yelled behind him at a seemingly tired Susanna trying to hold all of them off. "I-I'm fine! No time to talk we have to hold them off now!" Susanna yelled while blocking an attack from a toad with her wooden sword.

Link sighed heavily and nodded. "Just be sure of that.." The girl smiled at him as she attacked another toad until they were all gone.

Link sighed of relief heavily as he looked at Susanna who seemed very tired and was probably about to faint of exhaustion. Link walked up to her and stared at her face as Susanna blushed and asked. "W-What are you doing..?" Link's eyes widen as he blushed into a deep shade of red. "S-Sorry.. I thought that you might be tired.." Susanna flushed. "I-It's no problem I'm fine.. But where are we..?" Link looked around as if he didn't know where they both were.

"I-I don't know.. But there's something off about this place.." Link says looking around. They were near a small pond with clear water along with some birds chirping their songs. Link says looking around. They were near a small pond with clear water along with some birds chirping their songs.

"Come on.. We have to find a way out.." Link looked around as he then held Suguha's hand trying to find a way out of the place but it seems like when they were walking they were just turning in circles over and over again.

"W-What's happening..?" Susanna said, a bit scared right behind Link.

"I don't know Susanna.." Link began walking again as he said. "Hey Susanna.." But Susanna didn't answer as Link turned around to see she wasn't there. Link was getting worried as he ran and ran across the forest. "Susanna! Where are you?!" Link called out in a worried tone. Link's heart was beating fast as he heard a scream. "S-Susanna?! Is that you?!" Link called out as he ran as fast as he could to the sounds of Susanna's screams for help.

..

The moon shone on Link's face as he woke up as he sighed in relief. "That dream again.." Link covered his face as he sighed heavily again. "S-Susanna... Why did you have to go..?" Link got up and shook his head as he walked next to Epona. As he turned his head to see a sleeping Leafa, he had to admit she looked cute.. He went to her as he wrapped her wounds with some bandages.

Later..

Leafa woke up to a bird chirping as she opened her eyes, groans and then stretches her arms as she yawned.

"Is it night already..?" Leafa mumbles to herself. As she sat up and looked down at her hands. Leafa held them up to her face to inspect the new bandages that were wrapped around them. She figured Link must have done that for her, causing you to sigh but smile at him. She leaned against the large tree behind her and gazed towards the sky. She had to admit that the sky looked beautiful and lovely.

"Hey, I see you're awake." Link spoke up. Leafa looks to her right and sees Link standing there next to Epona, staring at her with an unreadable expression on his face.

"Y-Yeah.." She says. Link nodded and walked over to her, sitting down beside her as Leafa sighed. He crossed his arms and pressed his back against the tree as he gazed towards the beautiful night sky. "Leafa, I need you to tell me the truth. Who are you, really? Why were the guards after you?" he asked with a raised eyebrow. Leafa flinches at the question as she sighed and look away from him. "Well..as you know I'm not like any normal person..I'm kinda special.." Leafa starts. As Link nodded.

"Yeah...?" Leafa then bit her lower lip.

"Well.. Y-You see.. I'm really.. a-a-a… q-q-q-que-.." Leafa mumbled out. Link raised an eyebrow at her again, curious. "A what…?" he asked again, this time staring at her. Leafa inhaled deeply as she started to speak.

"I'm an ALf." She pushed out but atleast she wasn't lying. Link stared at her in confusion. "An Alf..?" He repeated as he stared at her in confusion. As Leafa nods.

"Yes, I'm from a very rare race of fairies and I'm the last ALf. The guards want to just take me back to imprison me and take away my abilities. That's why we had to run away from them." Leafa lied, praying that Link would buy that. For a moment he sat there quietly, taking everything in before smiling at her and patting her back, comfortingly. "Oh, I see now. They were hunting you for your magic abilities and rare race. Well, that pretty much makes sense.. But Leafa, why didn't you just tell me all that before..?" Link asked her as Leafa shrugged her shoulders.

"I didn't know if I could trust anybody with my secret..." She says, sitting down as she brought her knees to her chest. Link scooted closer to her and slung an arm around her shoulder as she looked at him as her eyes widened.

"Leafa... You can always trust me with anything." he says as he patted her back, comfortingly. Leafa looked up at him and smiled. "And.. I can always trust you, right, Leafa..?" he asks. Leafa gulped and nodded quickly. "O-of course!" she replied as she gave him a nervous smile and nodded. Link nodded as well at her and stood up, stretching his arms. Leafa stood up as well and stretched her arms and looked up at the sky, somewhere deep down she felt sort of guilty about lying to Link. What would she do if he found out..?

"Hey Leafa, do you hear that?" Link asked, turning his direction to her. She looks up at him in confusion and shook her head.

"Nope, what is it?" Leafa asked as she tilted her head while looking at him. Link walked up to her, took her hand, and pulled her out to the open from under the tree. "Listen.." he whispered where in a volume that where Leafa could hear him. She and Link were silent as she tried to listen for whatever it was Link wanted her to hear. For a few minutes there was just silence until she heard something a bit strange. A howl of a lone wolf far off in the distance. His howl sounded just like a soft melody carried by the wind. "Did you hear it?" Link asks. Leafa nodded in response as a yes.

"Yeah ,the wolf right?" Leafa asked as Link nodded.

"Do you know what he's saying..?" Link asked her.

"A little.." she says as she remembered how Alicia taught her how to understand what animals say and how they communicate.

"He's saying 'Let the teachings of old pass to you'." Link explains as Leafa nodded.

"What does that mean, exactly?" Leafa asked as Link shrugged his shoulders.

"Heck if I know. Anyway, we should really get moving now..." he says as Leafa looked around.

"Is it really safe to travel at night? What if that big monster comes back?" She asked as she turned her head in different directions while Link just nodded.

"Yeah, it's fine and don't worry. He won't. And if does I'm here to protect you." Link says, straddling Epona. Leafa shrugged her shoulders and let Link pull her onto the horse behind him. As she wraps her arms around Link's waist tightly and nuzzle her face into his shoulder.

"Hey Link..?" Leafa mumbles. Link hums in acknowledgment at you. "Thanks for bandaging my hands.." Leafa blushed a bit as Link smiled. "Oh, it was nothing really, Leafa." he says as he smiled at her.

..

"Ma'am! A word from the soldiers in Kakariko village!" Sakuya looked up from her throne and hopped up to hear the news from them about their beloved queen.

"What is it? What's the news?" She asks, curious.

"Leafa-sama was spotted there! Apparently she was staying at an inn there." the Cait Sith soldier says.

"Well have the soldiers gotten her back…?" Sakuya asks. The soldier shook his head as a response.

"No ma'am. We're sorry but.. When we got there Leafa-sama fled on a horse with another man." the soldier says. Sakuya's eyes widen at the sentence.

"Another man..? Was she kidnapped?!" she asks, trying to keep calm. The soldier nodded.

"It would appear so, ma'am. Though we yelled orders for the man to stop and hand Leafa-sama over to us but then, he took off with her. They fled south from Kakariko village. We all tried to follow them but when we got back to our horses they were both gone." The soldier explains.

Sakuya felt her heart nearly stop. She couldn't breath, speak, nothing. All she could do was stare at the soldier and feel worried for her friend and her queen..

"W-Well did you see what this man looked like..?" she asks. The soldier nodded.
"Vaguely, ma'am, but we did. From our point of view that we got, the man is at least 17 years of age. He has dirty blonde hair that would appear brown. And with clothing all we saw was faded green but we got no other description than that." the soldier says in serious tone.

"I want wanted posters up everywhere! I want soldiers everywhere! All over ALO and the other game. In every place you find. I want guards at the entrance and exits of bridges and all the towns and cities." Sakuya orders. The soldiers just stared at her.

"B-B-But ma'am, can we do that? We might not be allowed to post in other territories in the other game without authorization." One soldier says. Sakuya sighs and paces around the room. "You're right.. And that will probably take some time..Well then I want all of the soldiers following the trail of our queen's kidnapper. Go!" Sakuya orders. The soldiers bow their heads and quickly as every single one ran out of the throne room.

Sakuya walked over to her tower window and peered out of it, watching her soldiers run in frantic out the castle as she sighed heavily.

"My, my, you've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?" An unknown voice says. Immediately, Sakuya turns around to see three people standing in the large doorway.

"Who are you? And what might you need?" Sakuya asks sternly. The first person stepped forward. He was a tall man with silver hair that fell over his shoulders. He had crimson red eyes and pale skin that most was covered by a long dark brown cloak. He bowed to Sakuya, placing a white glove to his chest.

"Forgive me my lord for I am Henshal." The man says.

"Henshal?" Sakuya questions with a raised eyebrow. Henshal nodded and stood straight.

"Yes, and the two behind me are Odette and Ray." Henshal says, pointing to two people who stood behind him. The woman, Odette ,had short crimson hair who wore a light blue dress with a dark purple cloak and the male, Ray, had long black hair, almost identical to Henshal's and wore a dark blue cloak. Sakuya took notice that all three of the mysterious people had all wore the same clothing.

"What is your purpose here?" Sakuya asks. Henshal smirked and approached Sakuya slowly.

"We hear that the young queen Leafa is missing." he starts. "Yes and what is that exactly to you?" Sakuya asks sternly.

"Well... What if we could get Leafa-sama back for you my lord. We could do it far quicker than your soldiers." Henshal continues.

"There is no need. The soldiers will find-"

"But what if it's too late? At the pace of your soldiers, Leafa won't be rescued for a while however, with us, we could guarantee her return in less than three days."

"Like I said, there is no need to do so. I appreciate the offer but my soldiers will find her." Sakuya states.

"Oh but my lord, you are not seeing the picture here. You see, me and my crew have been around places, seen things, and one of those things was the queen." Henshal says. Sakuya's eyes widen.

"What? Where?" she asks.

"She was being carried off by the king bublin. A type of monster in the other game." Henshal approaches Zelda and takes her hand."The beloved queen is in danger, her kidnapper is no ordinary man. He's very strong, powerful and is leading her to her death. But we've been able to track the queen's whereabouts. All we need, is your order to retrieve her and dispose of her kidnapper." Henshal whispers. "Without your orders Leafa-sama could die.." Sakuya bit her lip and stared into Henshal's crimson eyes.

"And what is it you wish for in return of my sister?" she asks. Henshal's smirk across his face widens.

"All I want my lord, is the destruction of her capturer. Just give me the order and the queen is as good as safe." he says, holding out his hand. "Do we have a deal my lord?" Sakuya stares at Nicolei then at his hand. At this moment she couldn't deny, she was desperate to find Leafa. "Alright. I give you the order to bring back my sister and to destroy her kidnapper if resistance is held, do you understand?" she asks, gripping his hand. Henshal nodded and bowed. "Yes my queen and thank you."

And with that Henshal along with his crew left the castle with wide devilish smirks.

"I hope you're ready Link.. Because we're coming for you now…" Henshal mumbled under his breath as his snake like tongue licked his pale evil lips.
