from my story:
Link's face grew fallow at the mentioning of the Oni. When he wore the mask gifted to him by Majora, the Tenshioni with the angel half removed, it seemed to eat at his very soul and he could hardly remain in control… When his forms became merged the demon became a part of him along with the angel…. but now it had torn away from the angel half, the Oni was breaking free of the balance and it's dark power was fighting to consume him.
Zelda reached out and placed her hand atop Link's. The hero pulled his hand away as if his touch alone would cause her to burst into flames.
The queen's expression was soft and calm "Link, as far as I am concerned that was not you last night…It was not you..."
Link's eyes were dark and dismal "Those were my hands!" he snapped, voice cracking "…And that darkness is still part me…waiting for its chance to kill…" Link said moving away and turning his body so as not to face Zelda. He could not bear to look at her after what he nearly did that night…he had almost killed her.
Zelda's face grew stern, she stood up, walked over to him, reached down and grabbed Link's arm forcefully making him look her in the eye.
"Link even after the horror of last night I still love you. I would gladly give my life to save you…That is why….that is why I let your demon strike me. If I had to face a choice that required me to give up my life so you could live… I would die happy knowing I could save you." tears filled her eyes with each word, she fell to her knees, fists clenched to his shirt sobbing with her head against his chest.
Link sat in shock over her words. As she cried the hero's expression softened, his eyes became lost and sad as he embraced his princess.
Zelda's tears ceased though she still held her broken hero close. Link wrapped his arms around her firmly, never wanting to let go. They sat in each other's embrace, resting upon each other's shoulders…Their closeness trying to repair what had been done to the hero's now broken soul.
And... T-T
