A smirk appeared on Elena’s face. “Cool,” she murmured. “So, Kiba you must be from Hyrule. Is it nice?”

Kiba thought back to his days in Hyrule, and after some thought, turned to Elena and answered her question.
"In most cases, yes. The biggest problem is the monsters," He paused for a moment, his mind filling with bitter memories, "In many cases however, people can prove to be no better, if not worse."

“Oh,” Elena muttered. After a few moments of thought Elena added, “My dad says that if ye are looking fore good people, ye’ll find them, and if ye’re looking for bad people ye’ll find them too. . . But there are some horrible people that I know no one was looking for. . .”
Nyx joined Kiba and Elena’s side, probably only momentarily.
Elena quickly added “Damn, am I even making sense here?”

Kiba chuckled to himself then turned to Elena, "Yeah, I understood what your saying." Kiba paused breifly as he saw a large,circular wall appear over the horizon, obviously a town. "I'm assuming that those walls belong to that town you told me about earlier. Am I right?"

“Yep, that’s The place,” Elena informed him. ‘It doesn’t look far,’ she thought. Elena turned to Kiba. On her face a big grin grew.
“Kiba, do you think it’ll be faster if we ran? We could race.”Elena challenged the sheikah, who probably had uncanny speed. “What’da say?”

Kiba thought for a moment. He knew that speed was one of his strong points, but a race would be fun, especially if she was a challenging opponent
"When do we start?"

“...Now!” Elena shouted, and took off running. She new it was a dirty trick, to take off before Kiba, but she figured it was the only way to win. Nyx ran along side her owner. “Last one there is a pile of manure!”

Kiba burst into a sprint. He knew that he could pass her at her current speed easily, but he figured that such a move would be unsporting. So he ran normally, discarding the methods taught to him by his sensei, which allowed a combatant to move quickly and with extreme agility. He sped up enough to start gaining on Elena,
'Even if she can beat me at a normal foot race, I wont resort to using my running techniques.' Kiba thought to himself as he began realize that keeping up with Elena wasn't going to be as easy as he thought.

Elena looked back to Kiba. She angrily thought ‘I can’t believe it! He’s letting me get ahead!’ She turned ahead to stay focused. An “aha!” popped into her head. ‘He’s likely to gain speed at the end.’ Elena kicked in to second gear.
Nxy wove in front of Elena, causing her to trip forward. Elena wildly waved her hands foreward, trying to get ready when she met the ground.

Kiba saw Elena trip and immediately sprang to catch her. Using all of his hidden speed, he raced towards her and, when he was only a foot away, reached out and grabbed.

Elena, surprised that a hand grasped her before she fell. She teetered back onto her feet. Over to Kiba, she looked.
Her face flushed scarlet, and she murmured, “thank ye.”

Seeing Elena blush made Kiba feel somewhat embarrassed, and he was genuinely thankful for his neck guard, which covered most of his blushing cheeks. He struggled to think of something to say, but nothing came to mind, so he said the only word he could think of.
"Your welcome."

Even though Kiba’s face was mostly covered, Elena could see him blushing. To kill the awkward silence, like any mature person would do, she changed the subject.
“Nyx! Ye scoundrel! I’ll skin you alive!” Elena playfully lunged at her dog, who ran away from her owners reach. “I coulda lost, because of ye,” she told Nyx.

Kiba couldn't help but laugh as he watched Nyx and Elena play. He couldn't remember the last time he enjoyed himself this much. He then realized that Nyx and Elena were getting farther away and ran to catch up to them.

Nyx frolicked excitedly. Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted Kiba. As fast as she could, she ran towards him. The black dog was curious to see if the new man liked to play as much as her owner. Her tongue flew to the side of her face.

Kiba could easily dodge the oncoming dog, however, being in a playful mood, Kiba decided to let the dog have its fun. Nyx sprang up into Kiba's chest, knocking him off balance.

Elena began laughing. She always picture sheikah’s serious and prudish, but Kiba was, well, playing.
Nxy shoved her snout into Kiba’s chest. A action she offten did to tell people she wanted to be petted.

Kiba understood the dog's silent message and began to pet Nyx. He hoped that petting Nyx would get her surprisingly heavy body off his chest, not that he intended to quit the minute she yielded. While petting Nyx, he turned his attention to Elena, who was laughing at his amusing plight.
"You've got a nice dog," Kiba said politely, "How long have you had her?"

"You've got a nice dog," Kiba said politely, "How long have you had her?"
Nyx rolled off Kiba, and laid on her back. Elena thought back to when she first got her dog.
“It’s aboot three years. Had her since she was a pup,” she told him matter factly. “My dad, Clayton, breeds dogs.” Elena began scratching Nyx. “Did you ever had any pets?”

Kiba grinned slightly, "About a half a year ago i captured and trained a hawk." Kiba couldnt help but start chuckling. "That damned bird is barely worth the scar it gave me. It never retreives food, and usually flies off for weeks before returning unexpectedly."
He stopped chuckling and began to rub Nyx's stomach, "The thing makes up for it however, during combat. Its like the bird id bread for fighting. Its claws are sharp and long, and it has this annoying trick where it can drop objects with lethal precision and speed." He looked up towards the sky, "He should be back sometime this week actually, so you'll probably get to meet him."

“Really?” Elena could hardly contain her amazement. “You must be a patient man.” She followed Kiba’s gaze to the sky. Then, suddenly asked, “Is it past the whole, ‘face grabbing’ phase?”
Elena recoiled. She knew it was rude ro ask such things.

Kiba began to laugh, "Don't worry, its long past that phase. Ill let you hold him when he gets back."

“That’ll be awesome. Does it have a name?” Elena quized Kiba. “And where’d you get it?”
She couldn’t even begin to express how thankful she was that Kiba had a animal. Clayton, Elena’s father, always said a pet is a sign of a good person.

Kiba was amused at Elena's sudden excitement, "I found him on some island about a day away from Windfall. He was a feisty little fellow, and i ended up naming him after his most noticeable attribute: Talon."

Elena couldn’t help her merriment. “That’s sooo cool.” She looked back to the town. As difficult as it was, she tried to tell Kiba with a straight face, “We should really start are way to town, again.”
Nyx whimpered as if she knew what Elena met.

Kiba gave Nyx a final pat and stood up, "Yes, let's get going." He looked at the crimson horizon. He both loved and hated the nighttime. The darkness brought about easy maneuvering and lower detection, however, it also brought more monsters and more fear.
His mind returned to the dark days he had spent exploring Akuma Island: the sleepless nights, moving slowly and quietly to avoid detection by the islands most savage inhabitants. He remembered the noises, especially those Miniblin and their damned laughter. He still heard it even in his dreams, that is, when he wasn't dreaming about THAT night two years ago.

As if on cue, a party of monsters suddenly stepped out from hiding in front of Kiba and Elena, blocking their way to Clock Town. In it was a tall and strong Moblin and four Bokoblins. The Moblin held a long wooden spear while his smaller Bokoblin comrades were equipped with short, single-handed swords, apparently stolen from more civilized races. The Moblin sneered at the two with his ugly, pig-like face while the Bokoblins cackled at them. With a cocky grin, the Moblin spoke:
"Sorry, road closed! No money, no pass!"
The Moblin's greedy glance momentarily rested on Elena, which caused him to lick his lips and grin more.
"20 rupees to pass... Each!"

Kiba's thought for a moment. He had enough money to pay for both of them, however, he usually never answered to ANY monster, and let his sword handle negotiations. This time was different however: he wasn't alone, and he could not garunte his new comrade's safety. He pulled Elena aside and whispered into her ear.
"Do you want to pay them or slice our way through?"

Meanwhile, the monsters confidentially waited with their weapons ready for a sudden attack. The Moblin continued to stare at Elena with a lustful gleam in his eye. Before she could reply to Kiba, he interrupted.
"What wrong, no money? We can make deal: give girl to me and man go to town with dog. We take good care of her..."

Elena was purely revolted by the Moblin’s glance. She could help bareing her teeth.
“I say we slice ‘em.” She whispered back to Kiba. “I’d like the big one, if ye don’t mind.”
