I opened my eyes and groaned. My ribs were killing me. My shoulder stung. It wasn’t as bad as my ribs but… Carefully, I put my right hand to my waist. Kyake was gone. I tried to sit up. I was panicking so I forgot my ribs were broken. I let out a pained yell and lay back. Tenderly, I placed a hand over my torso. My eyes drifted shut, but snapped back open when I heard a rustle.
Looking to my right, I saw Link! He was sitting on a chair and was wearing his blue Zora Tunic. Link was looking at me with curiosity and hostility.
“What in the world were you doing out there? I know you’re a better fighter than THAT!”
“What?” I asked weakly. I was totally confused. What was Link talking about? He had never seen me fight. “W-what are you talking about?”
“Oh come on! I’m not an idiot! Stop the charade, Princess Zelda!”
“Wh-what? What are you—ungh.” I winced as I moved too fast. I looked at Link. ‘Is that a smirk?’ I blinked, ‘What in the world is going on?’
Link couldn’t believe what he was hearing. ‘I’d be glad if the Swiggle Nooks HAD gotten her. Maybe I should remind her… Yeah!’ “Okay, since you seem to have short term memory loss… I’m gonna clue you in. Stop me if you start ta’ remember anythin’, milady!”
I tried to protest but Link just talked over me.
Just then, Rekhyt came in and stopped Link.
“What? I was interrogating the princess!”
“Nu-uh,” he retorted, “You were questioning a Sheikah.”
“What?” Link looked absolutely stunned, “No I’m not. Don’t you remember?”
I looked from Rekhyt to Link and back again.
‘Please, Rekhyt. Please convince him. Seeing as I cannot…’
In truth, this discussion wasn’t really that interesting to me. All of a sudden I was snapped out of my thoughts as the name battle began!
“Blonde boy.”
“Fluff-ball.”
“He’s a Sheikah!”
“SHE’S a princess!”
“Gah! Blonde idiot!”
“Paranoid delusional fluff-ball!”
“Blonde buffoon!”
This is right about where I lost my patience.
“Will you both just shut up?!” I yelled.
Link looked at me, mouth agape. Rekhyt looked as well.
“I’ll tell you what really happened. Okay?”
“I know what-“
Rekhyt bonked Link on the head.
“Yes well,” I started the looong story, “The first time I saw you was in the Temple of Time. I also saw you at all of the other temples. After I gave you the Requiem of Spirit, I went back to the Temple of Time…” here I hesitated, “I don’t really know what happened… The last thing I saw was Zelda.”
I ended my story.
“What then?”
I shrugged. “When I woke up, I was in the Temple of Time, and the world had been restored.” ‘I’ll have to tell him sooner or later.’ I said to myself.
“Ooooookay,” Link started, “If you aren’t Zelda, how-“
“How do I know her?” I chuckled softly, “I was her spy and bodyguard.”
“Spy?”
“Ayup.”
“But… when I found you there were Skullkids.”
I sighed. The time had come for me to tell. “He-he’s back. Ganon. When the Gerudos imprisoned me… they were talking about him. Then, when I escaped and fought one of them… she said he was back.”
I was done. My story was out.
“Um. Well. I. Uhh.” Link was stuck on what to say. “I’m sorry I thought you were her.” He apologized and rubbed the back of his head.
“Heh. It’s okay.”
Just then I felt as if all the energy had drained from my body. I slumped back in the bed and fell into a dreamless sleep.
(Yuko: Okay! A lot of people know I usually end my chapters at places like this! But because it’s been so long since the last update… here’s an exception! Now, when we start the story again Sheik is fully healed and one month has gone by. Also in case you are wondering: THIS IS NOT YAOI!! This is friendship! Back to the story!)
I awoke to frantic yelling outside. I sat up, got up, and got on my Sheikah clothing. I walked out of Link’s house. What I saw made me laugh.
Link was trying to catch his red fairy with his hat and failing miserably. I guess Link heard me laugh, because he then turned his attenteion to me.
"You ready?" he called.
"Eya! Ready when you are!" I replied back.
We were going to look for Ganon. We decided this about two weeks ago. We were going to go to Lon Lon Ranch so I could get a horse. I jumped down and strapped Kyako to my waist.
With Rekhyt looking at a female green fairy, Link swung his hat out and caught his red fairy. I laughed again and started to head to the exit. Link soon followed. We left the forest and made our way to the ranch.
---------------------------------------------
"So, is this the spot?" asked Link.
"Yes."
We were walking past the spot where I was attacked. I sighed quietly and tried again to forget that night.
"Well, let's hope we get to the ranch before nightfall, eh?"
"Yea."
"LINK!" A voice cried.
Link jumped about ten feet in the air. I tried to hold in my laughter but it didn't go so well. Rekhyt was laughing as well. When Link got down, he glared at me and his red fairy.
Just then the light faded and a wolf howled in the distance. The smile dissapeared from my face. I unsheathed Kyake without thinking and Link did the same with the Master Sword.
"They aren't coming." Link smartly observed.
"No. I have an idea. Just follow my lead."
Link and I both resheathed our swords and... RAN! We sprinted to the ranch but we hadn't taken five steps when I saw lumps of earth start to form. I ignored them and just ran. The Skullkids kept trying to stop us. I ran silently. Link, on the other hand was screaming: Bloody murder! repeatedly.
I had reached the ranch and was waiting for Link who was still out there screaming bloody murder, and swinging the Master Sword around like a maniac.
"Link! Come ON!" I cried.
Link looked at me and nodded. He came up running. I literally dragged him into the ranch.
