Behind the Masque Lies You

Author’s Note~*~ Alright so…I haven’t written anything in a while…but I just recently read an untitled fanfic by an amazing author based on Link/Sheik and it inspired me to give it a go myself! My head is full of imagination and plots of all kinds so there’s no telling where this story will go!

I forgot to mention before that I AM trying to go along the same storyline as Ocarina of Time the game as well as the manga, just incase any of you get confused!

This story is rated for later very EXPLICIT sexual content involving two males. Just a warning. Possible heterosexual sex as well…meh…we’ll see how that goes. Also there may be blood and gore and all that other fun stuff.

No sexual content in the chapter. I’ll be sure to warn the readers which chapters INCLUDE the sexxxxxx. Yumm.

This story WILL have a plot as WELL as mindless, ruthless, uncalled for, rough, hot, raunchy SEX.

I’M not even sure of all the coupling that may take place in this fic. Just know the main is Link/Sheik. Or Sheik/Link, however you’d like to put it. I don’t mind.

Well. We’ll just have to see what happens.

I’m done rambling.

Enjoy my FIC!!! =]]]~*~

--------------Chapter One: A Dark, New Friend-------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Hey! Listen!”

The red clad knight stopped the ministrations to the tear in his white tights to glance up towards the glowing ball of light flittering heatedly above his head. He arched an eyebrow, returning to his towering height so the fairy was only inches from his nose.

“Yes, Navi? Is something wrong?”

“Look! Over there! There’s something behind the bolder, Link!”

The Hero of Time’s eyes narrowed in annoyance. How had he been so ill prepared as to not have sensed this presence? Even now, with Navi’s enlightenment, he could barely notice any type of aura of existence. It was unsettling and unnerving. Despite his exhaustion from returning from the Fire Temple and the long trek down the mountainous trails, he was certain his wits should still be about him. He grabbed at the Master Sword stealthily and took a cautious step towards the unknown subject behind the red boulder. His boots made an unwanted sort of crunching sound caused by the tiny bits of gravel grinding against the stone floor. His sun-drenched blue eyes darted back towards his fairy friend who was once again fluttering around in anxiety. The rocky world around them was shadowing to an evil red shade. A warning.

“Link! The rocks are going to start falling again!!”

Link’s grip tightened on his powerful Sword. He hunched into his usual fighting stance, shield held out dutifully. Step by guarded step he made his way closer to the boulder which concealed that which was a mystery. He knew he should run, lest he would soon meet the disastrous fate of the rocks that seemed to fall on a time schedule on that certain area on the mountain, but no matter how he tried he couldn’t bring himself to do so. He still held the curiosity of a ten year old. Seven years locked away did nothing to dilute such a sense.

“Navi, can you sense anything? What type of creature is it? Any weaknesses?”

The fairy flittered around a bit, conjuring up all the magic she could bear to use…Nothing! She flew to hide behind her Hero’s long red hat.

“Nothing, Link! This thing must be really terrible! I can not even tell what it is!!”

This made Link all the more curious. He could tell by the way Navi pulled nervously at his cap that she knew the smart thing to do would be to flee. But he wouldn’t have it. He must know what was behind that cursed boulder!

He stepped closer. He was now able to spot what seemed to be a boot of some sort. It was covered in shades of blue and white that looked shockingly familiar. The boot lay horizontal, inactive. His brain scanned his memory of the colors and tried to match them with a face. Suddenly he burst out into a gasp. Impa!

But what was the Sheikah leader doing out here?! And was she okay?! Millions of worried thoughts plagued Link’s mind as he ran now towards the unmoving boot.

“Gah!”

Link was stopped sharp in his tracks. He had reached the boulder, took a look around, and was finally able to get a good look at the person to whom the boot belonged. He was stunned.

It most definitely was not Impa.

He was greatly relieved, but now only all the more curious! Whoever this was, it was most definitely a stranger. It wore impossibly skin-tight clothing, a material unknown to Link. On it’s chest it bore the Eye of the Sheikah, that was familiar enough to him. Yet the face…It was covered by a ragged and torn headdress and cowl. Link now noticed the rest of the clothing and leather-type armor was also torn and ripped everywhere. Random patterns of blood stains also graced it’s décor. One spot gruesomely evident in the area of it’s left hip and upper thigh, another on it’s right shoulder.

There was a reason Link referred to the creature as an it.

It was most definitely human. It was which gender of human the Hero could not quite figure out. He glanced at the groin area and could swear he noticed some type of bulge, but was still unsure. The chest also looked quite flat, save for some muscle, but it would be most hard to tell considering the chest plate the human wore.

He also could not tell whether it was friend or foe.

If foe, it seemed to pose little threat considering Link could not for the life of him figure out if it was alive or dead. If alive, though, Link knew the human would be a formidable enemy by just looking at the muscles through the human’s tight clothes. Lean, but strong.

Link stepped closer and Navi peered out behind his hat.

“A Sheikah??” The fairy piped up.

“Hm.” Link took another step. “So it would seem.”

He was now close enough to bend down to his knee and place a hand on the Sheikah’s chest. He watched as his hand rose ever so slightly. Yes. It was alive.

Link glanced towards his fairy friend. “What do you suppose, Navi? Shall we help it out? It will be crushed to nothing but dust if we leave it here.” Link’s big heart and heroic nature got the best of him as he looked back down towards the Sheikah. He was here to save Hyrule, right? And that meant all of it’s inhabitants. He couldn’t let one go unsaved. And if it truly was a Sheikah, just like Impa, then it must be good!

Navi smiled sweetly at Link. He was always so caring.

She jumped out from behind his hat and flew around nervously. She was proud of Link’s character, but knew if they didn’t leave soon, they too would be crushed to nothing but dust.

“It seems we have no choice, do we, Link? If I said no you would disregard me anyway. Just like always.” She said with a hint of playfulness. She then turned serious. “If you must, though, please hurry!! The rocks will start falling at any moment!!”

Coincidently, tiny pebbles and gravel began to descend all around them. Only a warning for what was about to come.

Link nodded to Navi and quickly, yet carefully, hoisted the body up and over his left shoulder.

He smiled inwardly to himself. The body, though full of nothing but strong, trim muscle, seemed almost as light as a feather. It was almost a pleasure to carry the Sheikah.

Link stood and made a mad dash easily away from the red and dangerous area, Navi holding onto the tip of his hat for dear life.

----------------

Once again in a safer area on the mountain, free of deathly falling rocks, Link sighed and looked about his surroundings. Navi let go of Link’s hat, her fists killing her from the death grip. She shook her tiny hands in relief and bounded about Link. She then stopped and quickly fluttered to examine the body hoisted over his shoulder. She could barely sense any warmth or life.

“This creature isn’t doing too well, Link. Do you have any potions or fairies left? It needs it badly. I can hardly even sense it’s heartbeat. It’s almost like it’s not even there!”

Fairies were very talented at hearing a person’s heartbeat. There is a lot you can distinguish just from the pattern of the beating of one’s heart. Yet the heartbeat alone was difficult enough to distinguish from this creature. It sounded like the very, very slow pounding of a very distant and deep drum. Though weakened, it was a strong heart.

It bothered Navi to no end, not being able to perceive anything about the supposed Sheikah. No strengths, no weaknesses. Nothing. Just the fact that, if not healed soon, it’s death was sure to come soon enough.

Link’s face twisted in distress. “I used the last fairy defeating…V-Volvagia…” His face drooped even more into despair at the mention of his childhood friend. He closed his eyes and gathered the last of his bearings. Taking a deep breath, he pushed the painful thoughts away and continued, “And I’ve been out of potion since we were half way through that temple…”

Navi sympathized with her dear friend. She knew how much the dragon had meant to him. She knew how hard it must have been for him to slay one of his own close friends. Being the Hero of Time was more heart-shaking than even Navi had imagined.

“Hm…” Navi hovered in the air, bobbing up and down. “Well, it seems the only chance we have at rescuing our friend is to make it down to Kakariko Village as quick as possible. That’s my only conclusion since you’ve hogged up all the potions.”

“It was necessary!!” Link shot at the fairy, eyebrows knit.

She giggled, the tinkling of glass bells ringing through the air.

Link grinned. Navi was always playful and knew how to bring a smile to his face in any situation.

The tender thoughts of his old friend temporarily pushed aside, a thought struck Link and he stopped in his tracks.

“Lon Lon Milk!!”

Navi twinkled with delight. “Great idea, Link! It will most definitely not revive it completely, but surely the milk will restore some of it’s health. I always knew there was a reason The Great Deku Tree chose you.” She shot a grin at the warrior.

Link waved Navi’s comment away with a swish of his hand as he gently laid the body of the Sheikah down on the rough ground, resting it’s head on one of the numerous rocks. He knew it couldn’t be comfortable…at all. But it was the best he could do right now. Besides, it’s not like it was conscious, right? Right.


Navi twirled around Link for a moment before fluttering down to rest her tiny feet on the hidden chin of the Sheikah. Her curiosity got the best of her and she bent over, taking hold of the top of the cowl covering it’s face, slowly beginning to pull it down with all her might.

“NAVI!!”

The blue-glowing fairy was thrown back from the force of Link’s shout, landing hard on her little fairy bottom. “Owwww!” She cried.

Link snorted. “Well that’s what you get. Don’t be so rude.”

Navi stood up and brushed herself off, buzzing in front of Link’s eyes, glowing with a hint of red. “Well, excuse me. I didn’t realize you were such a gentleman!!”

Link brushed her aside. “Thanks. Navi, it’s just…it obviously doesn’t want it’s face to be seen. Besides…I feel it’s a really bad idea to take a look without it’s permission…I don’t know…”

Navi calmed herself down, returning to her normal blue color. She floated over the body, nodding at Link’s comments. “I suppose you’re right. I sense a darkness about this person. Best not to mess with this one.”

Link nodded, retrieving one of his handy bottles. It was only half full of the nourishing milk, but it would just have to do.

Link frowned. How was he going to get the milk into the person’s mouth without looking at it’s face? Well, he was just going to have to experiment.

“Turn away, Navi.”

Navi rolled her eyes. “This is silly.” But she obeyed anyways.

Link closed his eyes tightly. He reached out, his finger tips gracing the throat of the Sheikah. He gripped at the bottom of the cowl, lifting it up gently to reveal it’s mouth. Once the bandages were out of the way, Link graced his fingers tenderly over the expanse of exposed face until he felt the foreign smoothness of another’s lips. They were so surprisingly soft, almost silky under his rough fingertips. He thought to himself that the Sheikah had to be a girl, with lips like that. But then, his fingers traced the sharp jaw line. Definitely the jaw line of a man. An elegant, graceful man, but a man none-the-less. This Sheikah was most confusing.

“Link! Are you finished yet?!”

Link jumped, his eyes almost flying open. He kept them shut though. He brought his fingers back to those lips. They were long, thin. The bottom one was a bit more plump than the top. He rolled his fingertip over that bottom lip. It was…strange. Not the lip, but the feelings that were stirring up inside him from touching the lip. He didn’t understand them. They were weird and unknown. He stopped.

He brought the jar over to the unfamiliar lips. He used the rim to soothingly part them. Slowly and carefully he tipped the jar. He could feel the liquid run to the opening of the jar and slide into the not expecting victim’s mouth. Once Link was sure all the milk was out of the jar and in the Sheikah’s mouth he placed the jar on the ground then rested his hand on it’s throat again. With the other hand he closed those lips and proceeded to plug the Sheikah’s nose. He massaged the throat under his hand skillfully until finally he felt the body involuntarily swallow.

A sigh escaped his own lips.

He pulled the cowl back down and opened his eyes.

“All done!!”

Navi spun around. “Finally! Geez, what were you doing?”

A blush unwillingly crept it’s way across Link’s face. “I-I was just making sure it swallowed all the milk. T-That’s all.” He didn’t know why he was stuttering, nor why he was so flustered. He felt like when he was a young child in the Kokiri Forest and had done something wrong and The Great Deku Tree was scolding him.

Link frowned…For supposedly being an adult now, it only seemed like yesterday that he was just a child. It was awkward, but something he knew he had to deal with.

Navi could sense Link’s uneasiness and changed the subject. “Well, according to my calculations, it’s still about a two day track down to Kakariko Village. We best get a move on!”

Link smiled and nodded. The sun was still high up in the sky, proving they would only have to camp out on the mountain for one night. It was a great relief to Link. Though he loved sleeping under the stars, he did not enjoy doing it on a rough and dangerous mountain.

“I wish I could bandage the wounds. They look awful.” Link scratched the back of his head.

Navi shook her head. “We’ve no supplies. It’s best to keep the armor where it is. It seems the tight clothing was able to stop the bleeding after a while. Though I don’t know how it got wounds that bled if that part of the clothing isn’t even torn. Weird. It’s best to wait until we get to town. We’re helpless until then. We wouldn’t even be able to clean them. Let’s just hope the milk helps our friend from getting any infections.”

Link nodded solemnly. He hated feeling helpless.

He took a look down at the Sheikah. Thankfully a bit of color was beginning to return to the sliver of face Link was allowed to see. Bandaged fingers twitched and a ragged sigh escaped those hidden lips that Link found so intriguing.

Navi smiled. “I’m proud of you, Link,” she said full of sincerity. “It looks like it’ll hold up for a good amount of time. It’s strong. Perhaps it’ll even regain consciousness enough to tell us it’s name!!”

Link grinned. How he hoped what Navi said was true!!
