Did you miss me? I missed you :P There is something unfufilling about not being able to check my emails everyday and see lovely reviews coming in from you guys so I though I would start Tainted Tales sequel sooned rather then later!

So welcome to Wayward sword! For any of you curious for what wayward means here is googles definition - Difficult to control or predict because of unusual or perverse behavior. So theres a little foreshadow for how this trio is going to get along :P

This is only a short chapter I know and not much plot breaking shizz goes down in it but I feel it gives a good feel to what this story will be like. Don't worry if you read it and find it a bit to soft for your torture loving tastes since there is still going to be drama (when is there not with these three :P)

And before I get eaten alive no I don't own anything to do with Zelda or Nintendo I just like to write about their genius :)

Please read and review with your critisims but mostly enjoy!

Link walked slowly over the grass, straining his eyes to tell apart which blades were actual grass and which blades were part of a kikwis camouflage. He had stepped on one a while back and the little creature had howled in a mixture of surprise and pain before running off.

As much as he had felt guilty for doing so the main reason he was being so carful to avoid them was because their load howls attracted all sorts of monsters and right now he couldn't trust his sword to stay out of his own back yet alone be used to slice into the backs of monsters.

Ghirahim, who had been insistent on walking behind them instead of staying in the sword had been a constant source of panic for Link. Sure he was behaving, trailing on behind Zelda and himself but now and then when Link would glance back to see if he was up to no good he would shoot the hero one of his blood chilling smiles and Link would hesitantly freeze before leaping forward a step away from him.

He wouldn't try anything, well not anything lethal since he couldn't touch Links sword without shrinking back into it, but that didn't stop Link from thinking he was going to drop kick him from behind and blame the closest tree. The feeling would be so overwhelming at times that Link would stop to let the demon pass him. But he never did so all he was doing was getting them further away from Zelda. So far that they couldn't actually see her anymore, but they could still hear her footsteps so she couldn't be far.

"I found one!" Zelda chimed just as a glowing orange shone from behind the pair as the current waited to carry them back up to the sky. Link tried to turn around so it looked like they had been going the right way but Zelda caught him out and rolled her eyes. Link felt Ghirahims presence go back into the sword with a bit more force then needed. Link pulled out the sail cloth, handing a corner to Zelda as he grabbed the other corner for himself.

Zelda smiled at him as he did so and she looked like she was about to say something before she frowned "You got blood on it?" she questioned in such a high pitch that he couldn't decide whether she was annoyed or disgusted. Most likely both. Link grimaced as he felt the sword on his back shake from the laughter of the demon within. He wanted to defend himself by saying it had actually been Ghirahims fault but decided she probably didn't want to hear that grisly tale.

"Well in all fairness white probably wasn't the best color to choose." Zelda gave a small sigh but she wasn't annoyed as he could see her lips curl into a smile. "If I had known that I would get kidnapped by demons I would of made you something far more useful then a piece of braided cloth.`

Link laughed as they placed the cloth over the current and rose quickly into the sky. "If your beating yourself over not making me a sword and shield don't bother, I don't think they could of taken me back and forth between here and the sky. "

She laughed as they broke the cloud barrier and the two separated, whistling to call their loft wings before carrying on their conversation- well trying to before Ghirahim interrupted, his spirit hovering effortlessly between the two birds as he squished the two teens head together in a hug that was far to forceful to be friendly.

"If she won't beat herself up I will, it would of been a lot easier to get to her if you were stranded in that forest." The demon drawled with a sly grin on his face as he rustled up the boys hair to show that was who he was talking to- as if it wasn't obvious enough. Link swatted at him but he just laughed and disappeared to sit behind Zelda on her loftwing.

Zelda sighed and rubbed her neck as she sat straight on her bird again. "Ghirahim go back to your sword." Ghirahim scoffed as he leant back and examined his hand in boredom. "Who are you? My mother? You sound like your telling a child to go back to his room."

"That's because I am." She said as she turned and narrowed her eyes at him. Ghirahim rolled his eyes at her before grinning for some reason that was beyond her. She pointed her finger at him and opened her mouth to talk before Link interrupted her. "um, Zelda..." Zelda snapped her head at him with her finger still pointed at Ghirahim before shouting "What!"

The boy didn't have time to warn her and just grimaced as her and her loftwing flew straight into one of the floating rocks around Skyloft. Ghirahims laugh echoed behind him as his loft wing carried on with speed towards Skyloft. He was about to turn around to help her before he felt the demon slap his hand and sit in front of him. Link was about to argue with the demon but he just brought up his hand and waved him off.

It was like he had a sixth sense...

"Let her catch up, shes quite capable of doing so." Link narrowed his eyes at the back of his head and the demon laughed. "You can stare holes into my head all night it's not like I have anything useful in there." Link could only agree with him as he saw Zelda speed up behind them. She went to glare at Link before seeing who was steering and her face softened. Link grinned and jumped over onto her bird and he shrugged his shoulders.

"I got hijacked."

She laughed "By your own sword, by the goddess how did you not get turned into monster chow down there."

He playfully hit her arm as he laughed. "Hey you, don't use your own name in vain." She laughed with him just as they heard Ghirahim make a sound of disgust.

"You humans and your affection sicken me, here take back your bird before you make me puke." Zelda turned her head back to look at Link and the same idea passed between them silently, causing them both to grin. "N'aww is big bad Ghirahim afraid of friendship." Zelda teased and the demon groaned.

"Maybe I should of just gone back in the sword when you told me to."

Zelda laughed as Link grinned and hopped back over to control his bird.

"Well let this be a lesson to you."

Ahh It's nice to write all this light hearted stuff for a change, but don't you worry your pretty little heads off it you don't want plain up fluff, I am far to evil to write a plain fluff filled story.

Hope you enjoyed the quick read. Can't wait to see the reviews from your friendly faces.

- Nicolette out!
