Warnings: Angst, Link bashing, Sheik bashing, sap…

Disclaimer: Don't own them, don't sue me, Nintendo is the rightful owner so pick on somebody else who doesn't know what they're doing.

Notes: I know Sheik has blond hair but he's special in this and he has Silver hair-so deal with it! Actually, I have a really good explanation to why he has silver hair-later chapters though. ^_^ Also, I know it seems like Sheik really is just giving up, but after what he's been through, it wouldn't be surprising-you would too… even if Link was your dream lover.^_^ I know this part was really long and drawn out (it's starting to turn into one of my other fics) but I couldn't help it, I was in a really weird mood. I know it took a long time for this part but I was gone for the weekend.

Extra Notes: I've decided to be nice and give you another chapter with 6 since I really want to get this damn thing up and the hell out of my list of 'Things to do'. But if you want anymore, you're gonna have to REVIEW!!! Ok.

~Part 7: No Hopes or Dreams~

A menacing chuckling could be heard echoing throughout the barren and dark 'throne room' as Ganon sat himself down heavily upon his 'throne'.

"Hm, hm…. Well it seems we have finally captured the uncapturable. Now my dear Sheik, you will finally have your eyes set upon the true 'Hero of Courage'-a beaten and bloodied relic of the once proud boy you once knew. The precious boy you once strived to protect with your life is now only to be a shattered remnant of the past you once knew and loved so very dearly. That troublesome boy will know the true meaning of fear and helplessness……Hm, hm, hm… once my Shadow guard is through with him, that is."

Ganon leaned back in his 'throne' with a disgustingly large amount of self-pride and arrogance, crossing his arms about his broad chest and sneering triumphantly at the horrified Sheik before him. For all that the plains of Heaven and Hell and Earth were worth, nothing-nothing could have compared to the utter magnitude of value in life and greatness and boldness in the boy known as Link, to the one known as Sheik; in all the realms of life, whether it be the living or un-dead, the one soul-the one and only force of nature's life that could have moved Sheik was Link. And with the knowledge that only the most terrible of deeds-that which had already been bestowed-partially, upon him, was going to come about upon his precious Link, stirred something within the Sheikah-something that which, not even the Three Great Goddesses of the Land of Hyrule could have conjured up, even together in their profound greatness. Sheik felt a terrible burning, a fire which blackened his heart and soul, growing so immense that even his love for Link was blinded from his mind.

Ganon noticed the sudden change in his 'weak' slave and sat forward, arching his thick brow with mild amusement and confusion. 'What does this boy think he is going to do? He can barely even keep his head up and this power appears out of nowhere when his precious brat is in trouble? They are going to be more trouble than I thought.' Sheik's breath gradually quickened, his shoulders heaving with each angered breath through his gritted teeth. The invisible power within the silent Sheikah increased to such an immense magnitude, even the Great Ganondorf was starting to show signs of worry… the deceiving Sheikah was apparently not as weak as Ganon had first thought-but how to stop the boy.

A wicked smile formed upon Ganon's lips and a gleam shone in his dark eye as the mysterious energy within Sheik continued to escalade. 'Hmm I may just know how to prevent this foolish boy from destroying the both of us…all though he will be of absolutely no use after I am finished with him…' Ganon couldn't prevent the wide-open grin that came with his last thought; the energy within Sheik continued to grow and his rough breathing and growling grew more fierce and louder with every level of energy he hit. Ganon rose from his 'throne' and slowly strutted over to the maddened Sheik, stopping only inches from the boy. Ganon couldn't help but chuckle at the thought that his cock was right in the perfect place for Sheik to take him all-but that would have to wait until later.

Ganon dismissed the thought and bent over, coming face-to-face with Sheik. Ganon continued to grin snobbishly but Sheik wasn't anywhere near amused. The furious Sheikah lunged forward as far as the chains would allow him and snapped at Ganon; the dark lord jumped back, shocked by the sudden outburst-he definitely did not expect that. Sheik was out of control, he was completely lost to the enormous power dwelling within him-it was just too much to handle for the usually calm and gentle spirit of Sheik and now he was a mindless creature, slave to the power within that seemed to have a life-force of its own. Ganon had seen this sort of thing before; he stood up, rubbing his chin between his for-finger and thumb. This uncontrollable madness and mindless insatiability for the power of the mind and soul.

Now it had Sheik, this great power that every insane living being strived for but could not obtain-even Ganon had searched and fought all his life for such power… he obtained the power of the Triforce of Power but that wasn't enough. This power, the power Sheik wielded within him was far greater than the Triforce of Power, this energy; this immeasurable power that Sheik held within his uncontrolled grasp was almost like he held all the Triforce pieces within his heart. This made Ganon frown; how in the Goddesses names could that have happened? He himself still held upon his right hand the Triforce of Power and did not the bothersome boy, Link, hold the Triforce of Courage upon his right hand as well? And the insatiably idiotic Princess held the Triforce of Wisdom upon her hand?

Ganon growled lightly at the irritatingly confusing and upsetting thought. This pathetic boy could never have the strength or courage or wisdom enough to control the three Triforce pieces-never. And further-more he could never even try to call upon the powers of the three Triforce pieces, how could this be happening?! Ganon was going mad with the thought of these things; he spun on his heal and threw his great arms up into the air and bellowed his anger loud and furiously. but he soon calmed his rage and snapped his head back abruptly, staring strait at Sheik, that same bone-chilling smile back in the place of his confused frown.

He turned back around to face Sheik once again and slowly leaned over the mad Sheikah, careful not to get close enough for the insane boy to harm him; Ganon then proceeded to unlock the shackles bound to Sheik's wrists. Sheik lurched forward, unprepared for the sudden loss in balance; he sat for a moment, on his hands and knees just staring at the ground, eyes wide, breath ragged and his body shaking uncontrollably. Ganon waited patiently, staring intently at the prone form below him, then Sheik jumped at him! Unexpectedly Sheik just lunged up at Ganon and tackled the surprised giant to the ground, scratching and punching and yelling at the stunned man. Ganon was so shocked by the sudden attack that it took him a moment to realize he was pinned beneath Sheik and the wild boy was trying to injure him.

To Ganon, the pathetic scratches and weak punches were nothing, only mere tickling sensations; it gave a sudden laugh to the bulky man below Sheik. The vengeful boy only ignored his cruel tormentor and beat into the mass of muscles harder, intent on killing Ganon, no matter the cost. Each angered strike from Sheik to Ganon grew fiercer, more determined and stronger with each second and Ganon soon stopped laughing and grew serious, noticing the gradual increase in strength from the boy above him. Sheik then landed a very hard and very painful punch directly at Ganon's chin, snapping the man's head to the side and breaking the skin in the process. Dark blood oozed from the fresh wound on Ganon's strong chin-Ganon felt the cut, he knew he was bleeding and that fact enraged him.

With one full swoop, Ganon brought his arms up, slamming his giant palms into Sheik's delicate chest, sending the surprised boy flying back, off of Ganon's body and crashing into the wall directly behind him. Sheik connected with wall suddenly, before he had a chance to react and a loud cracking sound of bones breaking was heard throughout the large hall that only he and Ganondorf occupied at the moment. Ganon sneered triumphantly at that as he pushed himself up from the dirty ground, casually brushing the dust and wrinkles from his clothing. Sheik fell to his side-hard and could only lay there, feeling the depth of his pain for the first time in a short while; he moaned from the discomfort of having half his ribs shattered most likely and the loss of breath and movement throughout his tall slender body.

Ganon chuckled evilly as he slowly walked towards the easily defeated Sheikah. Sheik just lay there, firm against the wall he had hit, curled up in a tight ball, trying to hide from the pain and from his tormentor.

"How pathetic, little Sheikah.... You hardly have any fight in you! Is that all that great energy is, a few pathetic scratches and hits and one good punch? I commend you for your sheer stupidity in thinking you could actually defeat me, but that was also your mistake, and mark me my precious little boy, your last one…" Sheik lifted his head up as high as he could from the ground, still able to see Ganon and whimpered in pain and fear of what Ganon was going to do with him now. That burst of energy was all Sheik had left in him-he did not expect Ganon to strike back so easily, that power was by far, greater than the three Triforces, but Ganon pushed him aside as if he were a mere fly pestering him. Now Sheik was completely helpless in every way and he could do nothing to fight back anymore-he felt too weak to even think of Link at the moment and he doubted if he ever would again…

Link had been captured and he was Sheik's last hope… and now that the last hope for Hyrule had been captured there was no point in living. What could Sheik do anyhow? He couldn't resist, he couldn't fight back, he couldn't yell for help he couldn't even open his eyes all the way, he was so weak-how would ever be able to help his dearest dream now? Sheik gave a heavy sigh, and let the tears that had run dry for so long run freely now…. He had no hope, dreams, no soul of his own, and soon, nothing to love ever again.

He would be trapped in this jail-this Hell until his spiritual body could bare his mind no more and then he would be thrown into an even worse place than this where his soul would flow endlessly throughout time and space, forever with nothing to do, nowhere to go, only to travel eternally. Ganon noticed the new tears and his trademark smile appeared again-this was too easy…. Ganon reached down and gripped the loose material of Sheik's torn uniform and lifted the almost weightless boy up to eye level with him, until Ganon could see the dying Sheikah's placid face. Sheik didn't move a muscle, he just let Ganon throw him around like a worn rag doll as his tears fell silently, leaving streaks down his dirty and bruised cheeks. Ganon regarded the pitiful boy in his hands for a moment until he spoke again.

"So, what is this? Tears again, I thought you were through crying like the little boy that you are and had nothing left to give? Aren't you happy that I will be your master now for all eternity? I'll tell you what, if you behave and stop crying, I'll let you watch while I slowly beat the life out of your precious 'Hero of Courage' huh? What do you say, is it a deal?" Ganon couldn't help but laugh out loud at his cruel joke-Sheik opened his eyes slowly and stared at Ganon with disgust and pure disbelief at how sickeningly cruel and vicious he was.

Ganon stopped laughing and brought his hand under Sheik's chin and lifted the boy's head so that Ganon could see Sheik's eyes; he was more than pleased with the picture he saw before him: blood and rags, bruises and fear all replaced the once proud and strong Sheikah's facade hanging so lazily in his arms now. There was something still missing from his new little toy though… ah, yes, that's it. Ganon moved his hand away from Sheik's face, letting the silver-haired head drop heavily-chin hitting his battered chest, and Ganon reached for what remained of the shredded clothing that barely covered the delicate body and protected what little shred of the Sheikah's dignity that was left, and tore it completely from the battered body, leaving nothing to conceal the boy from his tormentor any longer.

Sheik cried out at the sudden sharpness of his clothing being torn from his painfully fragile body; the fact that he was now completely nude only registered to Sheik when he felt rough, calloused, slimy hands rubbing over the sharp and fine plans of his slim form and bruised skin. Sheik caught his breath in his chest and opened his eyes, staring in disbelief and dread at the lecherous look Ganon now had on his face. Sheik shook his head as best he could, begging with his sad eyes for Ganon not to touch him, not to take him… but it would only be a matter of time before that would happen anyhow-should it not happen at this moment. Besides, what did he have to save now? Link would be killed and nothing would matter anymore.

Sheik could hear Ganon moan with what he had learned was pleasure; apparently Ganondorf liked what he saw. Sheik squeezed his eyes shut and bit his lower lip to keep from whimpering of crying more, it wouldn't help him anyhow. Sheik tried to do his best to ignore the dirty, unwanted touches-it was difficult but he began to think of Link again and his thoughts were turned away from the frightening man before him for a relieving while. Sheik's thought's slowly began to wander back to his and Link's past and those sweet smiles Link would get when he would find something new to add to his growing collection, or to the frustrated, deeply concentrated look he would get when he was trying to hit something with his bow and arrow. Sheik smiled in his mind, he remembered-he was there when Link found his treasure in each temple and he was right by the daring boy when he had defeated his first enemy, just not where anyone could see him.

Sheik had always been by Link's side-he had vowed to never leave the 'Hero of Time' again, but now the precious creature he had fought so long to protect was so close to death Sheik could feel it and this made his thoughts turn bad again; why could he never have any peace and happiness?
