Regret

"And just where do you think you're going?"

"To my room" I answer simply. "If they aren't aloud to stop working, neither are you" he replies, glaring at me. I glare right back. "Well, sadly, love to, but I'm grounded.... so I need to go back to my room" I say sweetly, a smirk appearing on my lips. "You have some nerve kid" he says as I try and fail to walk past him. "Leave me alone. You do a such a great job of that when I actually need you" I snarl back. "We are not having this conversation again. I have tried so hard, every time I come home, to make it up to you.... Why can't you just be like your siblings? Why can't you be happy when I come home?" 

"Cause I'm not my siblings. You keep acting like I'm a child. Like I can't defend myself. You watch my every move and I hate it" I try once again to walk away. "Fine, don't be happy with me coming home. Someday I won't come back, and then you'll be upset, I'm sure" I let out a laugh. "I'm looking forward to that day" I snarl up at him, and then storm away.

"What are you doing Kokiri?" asks Goro, leaning against my door frame. "Running away. I never want to see dad again" I spit back. "What's going on?" asks a voice. "Oh, it's you. Captain, get out of here. This is none of your business" I snarl at him. "Oh, I think it is" he says, stepping into the room. "Look kid, I know better than anyone that parents can be... tough, but you have no idea how excited Time... er... The Old Man was to see you all again. Just give him a chance......" I glare at him. "Well, like father like daughter it seems" 

"Don't compare me to him" I spit back. "Alright" says Veteran, stepping into the room. "We did this your way, now we do this my way" he cracks his knuckles. I raise an eyebrow. "Whatcha gonna do? Glare at me?" He slams me into the wall, hard. "What the...." He slaps me across the face. "Listen up, you're gonna go apologize or I swear I'm gonna make your wish you never born....." someone grabs him off me, and picks him up by the throat. "Get away from my little sister you bitch" says Goro, snarling at him. Veteran pushes him away with ease. "Don't mess with me, child"

I launch myself at him. "GET AWAY FROM MY BIG BROTHER!" I yell at him. Captain pulls me off him. "Stay out of it kid" he says. I turn and kick him in the leg. "You little...." I duck out of his grasp. "Get away from my brother!" I yell at the top of my lungs as Legend picks Goro up by the throat. "What the hell is going on here?" asks a voice. I turn to see the boy with the tattoos on his face standing in the doorway. "Legend, Wars, you guys are freaken adults! And the Heroes of Hyrule to boot! Get away from them, before I beat you both" Captain snarls back. "You couldn't"

"I can and I will. I don't know if your drunk or what. But get away from them!' he yells. "Fine" Veteran snarls. "The Old Man will find out about this" he says as they leave the room. "I don't care" says Veteran. "Are you both okay?" he asks, turning back to us. "I'm fine, but Veteran beat my brother something fierce. He might need a fairy" Goro is covered in scratches and bruises, he has a black eye, and a broken nose. "I'm fine" he insists. "I've gone through worse. Now where are those little" the boy with the tattoos stops him. "You're not okay, and your father will take care of Wars and Leg. Go get a fairy" Goro looks at him, and finally nods in agreement. "Thanks" he adds. "Anytime" Twilight responds, then watches as he walks down the hall, and turns back to me. 

"You don't have to apologize. But at least talk to him.... you have no idea how happy he was when we got to his Hyrule. Just.... don't let him leave while you two are on a bad note. You never know... what could happen" he bites his lip. "You lost someone?" I ask, crossing my arms. "My father.... we got into a fight, and I left and he.... our house was attacked....." he shakes his head. "Just, talk to him.... alright?" I nod slowly. "Fine, I'll talk to him. But I'm very sure that he's going to kick me out....." He rolls his eyes. "Just, talk to him, you'll regret it if you don't."
