Link growled in annoyance as he dodged the blade that just barely missed his throat. It was Dark again, this guy just wouldn't quit.

Link elbowed him roughly in the stomach making the other fall over. Dark let out a grunt of pain as his stomach churned.

"Dark, why is it that you hate me so much?" Link asked panting. Dark glared at him with fierce red colored eyes.

"Because you ruined my life" he snarled out at the hero as he sat up. Link looked at him.

"What life? Ganondorf created you, and he did it when I became the hero of time which was when I was 16" he said. Dark glared at him with a hatred burning in his eyes.

"And you actually believed that liar" he asked. Link blinked wondering what the other meant by this. "I'm your shadow you idiot, it's not like you didn't have a shadow up until the day I joined Ganondorf" he said. "You've had a shadow your whole life, there for from the very day you were born I was alive" he snapped.

He glared down at the ground with his teeth clenched together, he could feel the blood dripping down the side of his mouth.

"But you wouldn't know that now would you...no one would have" he growled. Link looked down at his shadow.

Dark glared at the ground, becoming angry by his own thoughts.

"When I was born" he said a dark pain creeping into his red eyes. "I was born out in the middle of a forest......and nobody even knew I was there" he said.

Link could see the others shoulders dropping as the anger left his features. Now letting Link see a deep...hidden dark sorrow and pain.

"No one knew....and I was left out there....and no one cared....no one knew I was even there" he said. "The entire world was oblivious to my existence" he said.

Link looked at him, a frown drawing itself on his face as he stood there looking down at the black clad figure.

"It's a wonder I didn't die out there...I was just....left there....as a child I never understood." he said a deep sorrow overtaking his eyes. Link suddenly felt his heart ache a little at seeing him like that.

"Until I realized.....there was no one around......I was alone" he said. "I grew up in the forest...unaware that anything else even existed beyond it" he said anger creeping back into eyes.

"I knew I was different....I knew I looked different...but I didn't know why...I barely knew anything besides my own name." he said the fury radiating from him. "I spent 11 years of my life in that forest....and then he came."

"Ganondorf had taken an interest in me.....and said he would tell me what I wanted to know if I came back with him.....and I agreed." his glare intensified so much Link thought he might just burn a hole in the ground.

"Then....he told me of my true identity....it was on that day" he said gritting his teeth his hand fisting in the grass Link was sure he was going to explode like a bomb. "That I was told...that I was merely a shadow" he snarled.

"And then he told me of a boy....a hero of time...a boy named...Link" he practically spat the last word out as if it was some type of curse word. "He told me how I was merely a shadow of this hero...that I was simply a copy...a reflection...and when I asked him why had spent those 11 years all alone." he growled.

Dark finally picked his head up glaring daggers at the hero.

"HE TOLD ME IT WAS ALL YOUR FAULT!!" he shouted and yanked out his sword slashing it on the others arm. Link hissed in pain gripping his arm.

He stepped back and looked at Dark a shocked expression on his face.

/D-did.....did I really do that/

Link was shocked to hear the shadow say that. Dark growled the hatred and fury burning in his blood red eyes. His body trembling as he gripped his sword.

"That is why I hate you so." he growled.

"Dark....I...I didn't know" Link started.

"You wouldn't know would you!" he snapped at him. "Why would you of all people know! You ignored me just like the rest of world did!" Link had never seen Dark so infuriated before in his entire life.

"But Dark I-"

"I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY, THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN SAY TO TAKE BACK WHAT YOU DID, YOU CAN NEVER CHANGE IT!!" he shouted.

Link frowned at him.

"Well....if you won't listen to me.....then you leave me no choice." he said. Link raised his sword above his head.

Dark's eyes widened as he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head....then it all went dark. Dark's vision went black as he fell to the ground. Link looked down at Dark and lowered his sword. He stared at the unconscious boy , he frowned a sad look in his blue eyes.

"I'm sorry Dark but you left me no choice, if you won't listen to what I have to say" he said leaning down and hosting the other up. "Then I'll force you to."

With that Link put Dark on Epona and mounted the horse. He glanced back at the boy and then started off in a gallop.
