"So how is it down there?" I yelled down to Link.
"Just peachy..." Came the muffled reply.
I chuckled and stepped onto the ladder. I carefully climbed down and when I could see the bottom, I jumped down. Link was sitting on his butt and glaring daggers at me. I chuckled softly again and just looked at him.
"Thanks." he said sarcasm lacing his voice.
"No problem. So you think that there are any enemies here?" I asked the red-clad Hylian.
"Just some Keese."
"How do you know? Been through the whole temple already? Look out!"
One of the Fire Keese swooped down and I drew Kyake. Just before the Keese could hit, I sliced it in half. The other Keese came down and Link hit it with the Master Sword. I helped Link up and I walked across the hall and up the stairs. Link followed. We looked both sides and saw nothing. Link left me and went to open the left door. He hadn't taken five steps when something white fell from the ceiling.
"Link! Look out! It's a Like-Like! Or a Shield Eater or whatever you wanna call it! One's right--" I felt a sharp pain on the back of my head.
(Yuko: Well this will be one of the times that the P.O.V. will change. Enjoy!)
Link turned and saw Sheik sink to the floor. Behind Sheik was a Lizafols. Link just then noticed the Like-Like. It was kind of white and squishy. Link slashed away with his sword. When it died, Link rushed over to help his fallen companion. He faced the Lizafols. It screeched and jumped into the air. Link brought up he shield and blocked the strike. Link struck back and didn't let up till his foe was dead. He ran over to his fallen companion and shook him.
(Yuko: Ok. Back to Sheik's P.O.V.)
Ugh. I could hear a voice. (Yuko: No offense.) God, was it annoying. I could hear myself groan and decided to humor the person who was trying to wake me. I opened my eyes and was face to face with Link.
"Took you long enough to notice we were under attack." I said, sitting up. I rubbed the back of my head. I could feel a small lump forming but I knew it wasn't bad. I sighed. Link looked at me.
"Are you okay?" he asked. I looked at him.
"Of course. Does it look like I'm writhing in pain and agony right now?" I asked, cocking an eyebrow and smirking at the Hylian.
"Just making sure."
"I'm not a weakling you know..." I said back. I stood up and said to Link, "Well it looks like I was right. Ganon has indeed returned. Why else would the monsters be here?" Link shrugged and I started back to the ladder. Link followed.
--------------------------------
"So, what was in the Fire Temple?" Darunia asked.
Link and I looked at each other and Link said, "Well..." he hesitated. "Ganon is back. You'd best be on your guard from now on." Darunia looked shocked for a moment but concealed it and nodded.
"Come on Link!" I yelled. I was already out of the throne room.
"Hey, wait for me!" Link shouted as he ran to catch up with me.
