I warned you!

This story continues after Midna goes back to the Twilight realm and destroyed the Mirror, leaving Link. I am putting Dark Link in this story, CUZ I CAN! Also this is like a reincarnation of these characters. Meaning Dark Link and Link will remember their battle in the Water Temple in OoT, and such. (not that I really believe in reincarnation, but it worked out for this story lol)

Yaoi, meaning boyxboy, so if you don't like, don't read.

Enjoy~

Dark Link wandered around aimlessly in the Sacred Grove. He never really had a purpose in this life as the Hero did. He watched as Link first met Midna, the little imp, and she became Link's Shadow. Dark felt suddenly alone. He remembered fighting Link as his shadow many ages ago, but because of that imp, he was casted out. Unwanted.

Dark sat down on a tree stump and listened to the songs the birds sang and the rustle of the leaves as the wind blew. He remembered many days ago, seeing the Hero dash around in this place as a wolf. Link fought off many of the weird flying Mannequins with Midna on top of him shouting out orders. Dark had watched quietly behind the trees as Link solved the puzzles. Dark was always so impressed with how Link was able to solve the puzzles so easily, as if it was natural to him.

Dark however, sucked at puzzles. He had tried countless times to follow Link through a dungeon, to catch him by surprise, and kill him; but it never worked out. For some odd reason, the puzzles would always reset themselves, and Dark would get frustrated too quickly and leave in a huff.

Dark was captivated by Link and loved when Link was in wolf form. He was fierce in battle, but when he was with Midna, or with someone, his wolfish face formed a serene look, one that even made Dark's heart stop for a split second. He use to enjoy causing Link pain, especially in the Water Temple. He had been doing it for Ganondorf of course, but he himself enjoyed making the other Link suffer. He was always so angry at Link for being the one with a full body, where he was just a shadow.

However, after he was reincarnated along with the Hero, he found himself with a similar body as Link. He had white skin, long ears, silver wispy hair, red eyes, and a black tunic on. In this life, Dark found out that he too, was able to shift into a Shadow Wolf. He enjoyed the feeling of being able to run faster and feel the wind in his fur, but he above all, enjoyed Link's wolf form. Link's brown fur looked beyond soft, and Dark often thought about leaving his hidden perch to go and pet the fur, before fighting it off and staying hidden.

As Dark sat on his log, he noticed that Link had entered the forest as well. Link walked quietly by himself, his brown hair softly blowing in the cold breeze. He still had his Hylian Shield and the Master Sword, but one look at Link had Dark knowing what he was going to do. The long journey with Midna and the fierce battle against Ganondorf was a lot on the Hero, and the sword was a memory of all of that.

Dark shifted into his wolf form and quietly followed Link. Many times Dark became clumsy with his paws and made too much noise stepping on a branch, old leaves, and even getting too close to the pond and falling in with a splash; yet Link was so preoccupied in thought to even hear what was going on behind him. Dark shook the water off and lagged behind Link.

What is wrong with me? Dark thought to himself. He cursed to himself and continued to follow Link. Link reached the end of the Sacred Grove, well the pedestal for the Sword laid.

Link paused in front of it, almost uncertain if he wanted to part with the weapon, before finally lifting it above his head and slamming it into its pedestal. The wind suddenly picked up and swirled around Link. Dark quickly moved behind a bush as Link turned around, a hand up to brush the hair out of his eyes.

As Link made his way out of the forest room, Dark walked out just as the Walls shut behind him. He jumped in surprise and quickly moved out of sight.

All of the sudden, he heard growling of something he had never heard before in the Sacred Grove. He moved between trees as he shifted back to Hylian form and searched for the noise.

His ruby eyes widened when he saw Link. Link was trying to fend off three dark looking creatures. They had long limbs and a small body. Their teeth were large and jagged as they tried to get an armful of Link. They had beady red eyes and even out of wolf form, they smelled disgusting.

Link, was trying to fight them off with his Shield, pushing them away and trying to slowly get away from them. Without his sword, and obviously no bombs or sub-weapons remained on Link, Dark realized he was defenseless.

Link finally gained a few feet from the monsters, and quickly shifted into his wolf form and darted through the woods. Dark quickly shifted as well and followed far enough behind the monsters to not be seen or smelled.

Link tried to fight them off, but even though he was smaller and able to dart under their long legs, they still got a few swipes at him. When Link's small wolf body was slammed against a tree, Dark had enough. He jumped out and barked at the monsters. The three large creatures turned and hissed menacingly. Dark watched their moves and kept a close eye on them.

The monsters weren't very bright; constantly bumping into the other when Dark circled around them, and none of them tried to corner the black wolf. Dark took that to his advantage. He waited until they were practically tangled in the other's arms, before using his powerful jaws to rip at their limbs. Every bite into the monsters stung at Dark's mouth. Their blood was black like their bodies and incredibly bitter.

After managing to tear one to pieces, the other two hissed before darting back into hiding. Dark felt tired suddenly, the strength draining from his limbs. He turned and looked for Link, who was now standing on all fours and staring at him. Dark lowered his head in submission, and tried to send his voice out to ask if Link was alright, but Link lowered himself and growled.

I know who you are, Dark. Link's voice cut into Dark's mind. Link glowered at him. Dark took a step back. I don't want to fight you Link! Dark said, trying to calm Link. Link growled and his ears flattened. Likely story!

It's is true! I fought you because Ganondorf made me! And because I was jea- Dark stopped himself from completing his words, not wanting Link to know he was jealous of the Hero for having a body when he did not.

I have had too many monsters fight me and too many people betray me! I will not fall for it again! Link's voice practically rang out inside Dark's thoughts. Dark realized that losing the stupid imp must have been hard on Link. His emotions were all out of whack; which probably also explained why he couldn't fight off the monsters either.

Please Link, Dark practically pleaded. I don't want to fight. I want to help! Dark did not know what was going on with him, all the times he wanted to kill Link were replaced with feelings of wanting to protect; to care for Link. He just wanted Link to know he was a friend. Link lost a friend so Dark knew he was fragile, but for some reason, he did not want to use that opportunity to hurt him, but to care for him.

You and I have fought many times, I will not forgive you ever! Link's words cut a piece of Dark's heart as he stumbled at his words. Dark regained his composure and felt angry. He barked at Link who glowered at him.

Dark took a step forward, his eyes piercing red. Listen to me Hero! I do not want to fight you! Link could see the fire in Dark's eyes, and already wounded from the mysterious monster, Link finally turned and darted away, out of the Sacred Grove. Dark watched him leave and growled at himself for not being able to convince the Hero. He was getting ready to chase the hero before he came back to his senses. He whined to himself and wandered over to a small bush before resting behind it and curling up into a ball.

He felt so angry that Link would not listen, that he had reverted back to his relentless killing state, but after Link had shouted at him and ran off, Dark felt a part of his heart snap.

Why does it hurt that he said that? Dark thought. He had too many confusing feelings flying around in himself. He did not know why Link caused him to suddenly want to care for him, after all the times he felt only anger towards the Hero. He finally fell into a restless sleep, hoping to wake up and feel better.

So that is the end of chapter 1! Let me know what you guys think! I really don't know how I came up with this, but I am OBSESSED with Wolves, and Legend of Zelda, so I thought; "Why not?" anyway, let me know what you think and if I should upload chapter 2!
